La Cabana in Canterbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food in an amazing location close to the Canterbury Cathedral. The restaurant is a fusion between classic dishes (you can find pizza, pasta, burgers) and Romanian cuisine. Romanian cuisine focuses on good meat and good quality ingredients, if you want to try some authentic dishes I would recommend the smoked aubergine salad, mititei and for dessert the Dracula's heart (actually called papanași, freshly made in the kitchen, the waiting is worthwhile). The service is very friendly and helpful and the restaurant looks amazing!

We knew this place as the ex Korean cowgirl and entered the restaurant which was so hit and the air con was off. The gentleman greeted us and we went to our table by the front door for my daughter’s birthday and what a disaster. My chicken sish was dry and was suppose to come with chip lettuce and tomatoes with garlic sauce. Last three items didn’t make it so i asked for then. One the the guests asked for sea bass and again the plate was incomplete and we told the lady who took her plate never to be returned. My wife’s squid was cold , the salad she requested which was big turned up small and my daughter cabbage rolls and polenta was out of cruffs! Although they did give us discount to be honest it’s not a great experience. The chef needs to read the menu and follow it. Drinks took a long time too and we could have got them from the pub next door which would have been quicker. At the end of the one person was still waiting on chips for her sea bass that was taken away and it never came back. Bad experience unfortunately

I had Chicken Mushroom, £14, La Cabana Wrap, £12 and Salmon & Avocado Bruschetta, £5. NEVER VISITING AGAIN. NEVER. It was my first time visiting the restaurant and I was looking forward to it since I was quite hungry. I ordered the Chicken Mushroom, which was… well as my Romanian friend described as, “CAT VOMIT” ON A PLATE. It was DISGUSTING, TASTELESS, BORING, AND OVERPRICED. I told the waitress that I DID NOT LIKE THE TASTE OF THE FOOD; she took my food away and said that I’d still be charged for it. To avoid causing any drama, I ordered the La Cabana Wrap. How difficult can it possibly be to make a tasty wrap right? IT WAS VERY SALTY, DRY AND UNLIKEABLE. I also had Salmon & Avocado Bruschetta, £5, which was nothing special and had 2 pieces of grilled bread. I HAVE MANY ROMANIAN FRIENDS AND EVEN THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECOGNISE THIS AS AUTHENTIC ROMANIAN FOOD. MY HOMEMADE MEALS, DON’T HAVE HALF AS MANY DISAPPOINTMENTS AS THE FOOD AT La Cabana. DO BETTER. WITH MY DRINK, I PAID £40+ FOR THIS UNFULFILLING EXPERIENCE

Unusual food in this Romanian restaurant. Staff friendly, decor very nice and excellent quiet location with outside seating (if possible in this English Summer!).

Delicious and authentic Romanian food combined with cosy atmosphere and friendly staff, recommended! Must visit for Canterbury 😀

This spot is casual for a night out, I m so happy I found it, it has food from breakfast to deserts and very good wine. We had try they’re meat rolls, witch are amazing, lamb pastrami, stuffed cabbage and their desert.

A beautiful quaint restaurant, with great service, the staff are very helpful and friendly. A great variety of dishes from pizza, pasta, steak and the more traditional Romanian dishes. I plumped for the lamb pastrami and boy was I glad I did, the most juicy succulent and tasty lamb I have ever tasted. Even the wife’s tripe soup starter was delicious, and it’s not something I ever thought I’d try. Great value for money, ambience lovely and fantastic food and staff. I’d love this place to get busier but selfishly I want to always be able to just call in. Definitely our new favourite restaurant in Canterbury 😊

Really cosy, friendly restaurant, with traditional Romanian food. We had the sharing meat platter which was really tasty, the traditional deserts were lovely too😀

Service was good but the food was basic. Small venue with not much atmosphere. If you’re a couple you end up sharing with others because apparently the tables are too heavy to move. Don’t get me wrong it was cheap, guess you get what you pay for.

The food was very good, with service that was friendly and excellent. I would definitely eat there again.

We’ve been 3 times now, food is really good, atmosphere just right, service is first class with warmth and a smile. Will be going back soon to try more of the menu
