Megan's By The Castle Restaurant (Guildford) in Guildford

Excellent evening out, very delish food. Harshul was our server and was very attentive and a joy! Many thanks, will definitely be back soon!!

I was here with my partner earlier on this evening and we couldn't have been happier! The atmosphere and food we're both great but the star of the evening was Harshuv, she was so incredibly wonderful and so lovely to talk to - I'd recommend going here if only just to chat with her! Wonderful people all around, I highly recommend popping in for a meal

Met up with a friend and was so impressed at the wide range of Mediterranean food choices. Delicious food and the staff were so helpful. Lovely vegetarian options.

Great food and service. Good atmosphere.

Lovely food and great service especially by Julia. Very friendly and helpful

Lovely food and very helpful staff especially Julia who served us. She was really friendly and helpful with suggestions.

Really like this place. Great Middle Eastern food served in a very pleasant restaurant. Great for lunch or dinner

Menu has changed significantly with limited choice and seems to be very expensive for a brunch place, trying to charge Ivy level prices without being anywhere near that standard. The coffee machine wasn’t working so the only coffee option was an Americano. No longer offers basic brunch options like eggs Benedict, all in all a disappointment

Dropped by Megan’s in Guildford recently and had such a great experience. The vibe was cosy, the food was delicious, and the whole place just felt really inviting. Arjitha was amazing, super friendly and made the whole visit even better. You can tell she really cares about what she does. Will definitely be back!

Really friendly waitress who provided a great service for the 9 of us.

AMAZING! Came with my friends to celebrate and had an amazing experience! The food was out of this world!! Our waitress Su was so sweet and looked out for us!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Megan’s. The food was excellent, and the service was equally impressive. Our waitress for the evening, Saakshi, was outstanding – attentive, professional, and made us feel very well looked after throughout the night. We highly recommend this venue and look forward to returning soon.

I really enjoyed Megans, the service was amazing. The staff member Julia was so lovely and friendly and she always came to check up on us. I definitely recommend.

Great food and excellent service from Julia!

Amazing food and great staff. Zhanna gave great service!

Lovely drinks and food! Su was an excellent waitress and we had a lovely evening :)

Service and the vibe of the restaurant has been lovely. The workers are very nice and helpful. Would recommend 🙂

Saakshi was our waitress She was so friendly and lovely providing us with lots of good recommendations on food and drink Lovely vibe and great food

Saakshi was our waitress she was so friendly and gave out great recommendations on drinks and food. She was so lovely and provided excellent customer service. Will definitely come again!

FOOD POISONING, BE WARNED Two of us shared the open chicken kebab, we both got violently ill vomiting and on the toilet for the next two weeks. The below average food wasn’t worth the money or body fatigue, would avoid at all costs.

Shaakshi was our waitress She was lovely and friendly with great customer service. Thoroughly recommend!!

Julia was great and efficient .

Megan’s by the Castle is one of the most beautiful, cosy restaurants in town. We frequent it quite a lot due to the friendly staff, delicious food and unique decor. It certainly makes for great photos! Today, we were served by the lovely Chahla who was sweet and helpful. The food was as yummy as always. I enjoyed the chicken grill and my boyfriend had a chicken shish kebab. Our biscoff lattes didn’t taste as nice as normal so I won’t be ordering those again - I believe the syrup’s either changed or expired. Megan’s is a bit pricey which is the only real negative. Otherwise, it’s a wonderful brunch and dinner spot with fantastic service that I’d highly recommend. The added bonus is that it’s dog friendly too so we got to meet the cutest 9.5 week-old golden retriever pup today!

Lovely brunch at Megan’s. The food was great Chahla is amazing and was so attentive tysm!!

Food was amazing! Great polite service from Julia

This is a beautifullly decorated restaurant and previously I had a good meal here. However, on my recent visit it was absolutely shambolic. It was not busy but the staff were clueless. I'm sure they're nice people but it was so chaotic. Food and drinks we didn't order were attempted to be put on our table several times then when our food did arrive sadly one of the meant to be hot dishes was stone cold. We did get it knocked off the bill but obviously pretty strange and the prices aren't cheap either - you just expect more value for what you're paying Also there was no hot coffee available I'm guessing their machines had broken. I'm unsure if I would return here.

Julia’s service was great, lovely food as usual.

Our host Julia was lovely today, accommodated our allergen needs and was very friendly! Thank you Julia and team x

We were served by Julia, she was amazing

Visited on Saturday for a late lunch. Was seated fairly quickly. Our server Ella was friendly and professional. Food was amazing. Definitely coming back

Lovely food as always! Julia is a gem and has great customer service skills! Will be back soon

Really nice atmosphere, service staff were really nice and friendly. We were served by Julia who was great. Food was great as well.

Wonderful meal, with good service (thank you Julia) and great atmosphere

We had such a lovely time, all the people were so lovely especially Su who was always there when we needed and was so amazing. We had such a lovely time thanks to Su!!

Our waitress Su was amazing! Such fast service and very lovely! They went above and beyond to make our meal a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience. Food , service and Julia 10/10.

A lovely, well kept restaurant with a great selection of food. Unfortunately, on the day of my visit, there were major issues with the food service timings, with my party waiting nearly an hour after ordering before we were served our food. The wait staff (particularly Georgiana), were incredible. They were under incredible pressure, and a large number of tables were getting irritable with the wait. But the wait staff were very communicative, and apologetic, and handled the situation with the utmost respect and decorum. (This is the reason for 5 stars on service, despite the issues with the late food) Had it not been for them, this would have been one of the worst visits to a restaurant I've ever experienced.

Another fantastic meal at Megan’s. Great food, service and atmosphere. Thank you!

We visited this place for the first time on Friday. The ambience and service was amazing. We had a nice time there. Su was attentive and friendly with her servius and took amazing photos at the end for us.

Came here with friends on a Friday night for dinner and the food was lovely. However, the service and attention was disappointing: - despite being a Friday evening, no non-alcoholic beers were in the fridge and no alternative was offered; - took too long to have someone take our order for food, and the service was slow - far too long between courses, at least an hour if not more, didn’t eat mains until 9:00pm, - Multiple things on the menu were out of stock - glasses were empty for a while and no one came to ask if we wanted more drinks - empty plates sat on the table for a while; - the one non-alcoholic cocktail part of the happy hour was also out of stock, with no alternative offered which was disappointing Food was lovely yet the service unfortunately let it down and won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

I think they must still have their heating on because it was ridiculously hot today, left feeling ill. The decor is lovely, but tables far too close together (I could hear neighbouring conversations which was embarrassing). The food is very mediocre and expensive. The poached eggs were served in a pool of vinegar and the toast was too hard to bite into. Service was very polite. There was a dog in the restaurant which was a bit gross. Doubt I will be returning.

Fantastic cocktails and the sharing platter was delicious. Very friendly staff.

Particularly thought the hot chocolate was the best ever!

Julia was our waitress and she was excellent. Thank you

Came here for a birthday celebration and had the best evening. Food was fantastic and the service was impeccable, thank you to our waitress Julia.

Came out for a birthday dinner, food and service was great, especially Julia who was an amazing host!

Amazing restaurant , food was really good and Julia was so friendly and really made my birthday meal special

Loved the ambience! Saakshi was an excellent host, Preethi and Hrushant were amazing and supervised professionally. Will surely come again!

Hello everyone, I’m a regular at Megan's Guildford, and my wife and I had brunch there yesterday. We were seated next to a couple who left a negative review that I believe wasn’t accurate. Several staff members came to their table and offered fresh-cooked dishes, which they initially accepted. However, I think the gentleman became upset when the manager kindly asked him to place his dog on the floor so they could bring over a dog bed. The dog was partially on the table at the time. They responded by saying that Megan's isn’t a dog-friendly establishment, which I felt was unfair. The team works incredibly hard to ensure a great experience for all guests, and it was disheartening to see a review that didn’t reflect that. I personally didn’t feel comfortable with the dog eating from the plate either. On a positive note, as always, we had a wonderful experience – the food was fantastic and delicious!

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food and our waitress Lia was very friendly ! Highly recommend

I ordered poached eggs on sourdough toast and when I explained that the toast was burnt the waiter just walked off. Five minutes later we asked for an update and the waitress said she would check….. no response. In between this we were told by a dog friendly restaurant that our dog had to be on the floor or my lap, we put her on my lap (she’s a maltipoo) then when the manager came to see us about the toast he had no answer about what to do, he didn’t offer to make it again and told us our dog wasn’t allowed on my lap. Sooooo disappointed as on face value it looks like a lovely restaurant but it’s badly let down by the poor service and food. Such a shame 😔

I came here with my girlfriend and the experience was brilliant. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night and the decor of the restaurant was amazing. Both the host and our waitress, Julia, gave brilliant service to us and everyone else dining. Attentive, engaging, fun and truly above what you would expect at any restaurant. Julia gave genuinely the best service I have ever experienced in a restaurant, it made the meal, evening and date even better. We tried the frozen cocktails and they were brilliant, I also had the calamari, chilli chicken shakshuka and Za'atar potatoes. Julia, our waitress, noticed we were on a celebratory date and offered for us to share a cookie dough on the house. All the food tasted incredible, portions were good sizes and the time between courses was perfect. The chilli chicken shakshuka was especially delicious, very well cooked and deep with flavour as well as having incredibly tender meat. The flatbread was soft, warm and tasty. Overall, the atmosphere was brilliant, service incredible and the food was well worth the price as it was incredibly delicious. 10/10 experience and especially perfect for a romantic meal! Again, one last mention of Julia as I left the restaurant genuinely shocked by how good she was. Unforgettable service without a doubt.

Nice food, good service, a lovely atmosphere

The space is beautiful, well decorated, the music is pleasant and the service is excellent. Julia was extremely attentive and served us very well and always smiling. Thank you for the experience.

This was a few weeks back but I went with my friend for a casual dinner in town. The host was very welcoming, and the service was consistently good. Our server, Yandi, was lovely and honest. We both had the lamb kebab - very flavourful and tender (only wish there was a bit more). My friend and I weren't super hungry when we went, so the portion size wasn't really a problem but if you're looking for a full meal then you would likely need to order some starters too. For dessert, we shared the baklava and ice cream - the baklava is from an external bakery, so I won't hold it against them but it was basically just filo pastry and syrup. Aside from that, the food was good and I'll definitely be back to try more.

Came here as a couple and it was such a lovely evening!! Our amazing waitress Julia especially made the whole experience even more incredible. She gave us some cookie dough and ice cream on the house and was just really friendly and hospitable. The food is definitely worth the money, left feeling absolutely stuffed. The only thing people may not like in the evenings is thag in some areas it is quite dim. But for a date, super romantic!

Love Megan’s! A go to for me! They’re dog friendly and have so many vegan options. Their cocktails are insane too (pornstar martini and the frosé are amazing) Highly highly recommend the zaatar hummus!!! Great service as always. Thank you to our server Annelise!

Great afternoon for my mums birthday, amazing service! Would definitely come again

Everyone was so lovely and helpful, could not fault the service we received from Annelise

We were served by Maisie, who was very polite, friendly, and efficient. The food was served quickly, and the service was prompt too. Overall, it was a very good experience. :)

Julia who was serving us was amazing, friendly and professional.

Julia was an incredibly attentive server who recommended us several incredible drinks options. The food was lovely and came speedily. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was 10/10. Will definitely be back!

What an amazing experience!! Thank you everyone

Everything was really good! Julia is very friendly and made sure we were attended!

Lovely dog friendly place with great food we come back frequently. Everyone is great, specially Julia.

I had a lovely time! The food was delicious and tasty. My server Julia was friendly and attentive. She also made good recommendations about the menu and made me feel welcomed. Definitely will come again!

Julia was so lovely and very welcoming, they helped us celebrate our friends achievement and food was lovely

my friend and I had the nicest dinner at Megans. Julia served us and she was so so lovely and welcoming . Food came really quickly and was tasty. Cocktails were amazing and Julia gave the best recommendations. We will 100% come back! ❤️

We were celebrating our anniversary, the atmosphere was fantasti, the staff especially Julia were really friendly and professional and the food was great

Julia was a fantastic server and accommodated to us throughout the evening. Would recommend coming to Megan’s!

Had a great host (Julia) who made our dinner very enjoyable and fun!

Great service, LIA really smashed it out the park and made us feel at home

Had an amazing meal here - our waitress Lia was so sweet, super helpful and very cheery!! Will definitely be returning and hopefully will have the same waitress as she was great!

Great place, shakshouka is amazing. Mimi, the manager was very attentive and knowledgeable.

The service was great but the food was just other level , did really loved the Megan’s sharing platter and the open halloumi we’ll come back soon for sure

Megan’s is a stunning restaurant with gorgeous food. I highly recommend the open lamb kebab with halloumi. Our server Annelise made us feel at home and made some excellent menu suggestions

Atmosphere great. Food great. Service was punctual but having worked in hospitality for over 30 years our experience was somewhat ruined when made to feel rushed towards the end of our lunch. At roughly 3:30pm tables at the rear of the restaurant were clearly being laid up for dinner. A member of staff went to remove our coffee cups before we had finished but did apologise. She then not 5 minutes later placed a candle holder in front of us whilst we were still talking and drinking coffee. Unacceptable. When spending £100 on lunch, the last thing a customer should feel is rushed. On leaving there were at least 4/5 tables still being served at the front of the restaurant. A real shame.

Lovely experience for my birthday Julia was great.

The positives were the friendly waitress (Julie?), nice decor, and the food was quite tasty (especially the chicken), but honestly, portion size was very underwhelming. A shared mixed-grill for 2 at almost £19 per person was 3 skewers of meat and 1 of peppers on a plate of potatoes, with a pitiful garnish of onion/cabbage. At least give more potatoes or add a bit of salad to make it feel like a whole meal! Halloumi fries were nice enough, but at almost £8 for 6, certainly wouldn't buy again. As for the automatically added 12.5% service charge, we let it go as I won't begrudge the waitress her tip, but don't appreciate it for a group of 4. It's ok for large groups, but not everyone!

Lovely brunch; Great food, and very friendly service from everyone, especially our waitress Lia 🙏🙂

Julia was a lovely waitress, very kind and accommodating, she made us feel very welcome and helped us enjoy our evening of two birthdays!

Fantastic food and service. Julia was amazing.

Julia looked after us, and our excitable pooch, impeccably.

Been here several times and mostly for brunch, I just like the Eggs Royale & Fries here. Plus there are not many similar opts in Guildford lol. Btw Big Thanks to the pretty Chahla who was extremely friendly!

Top notch place. Great vibes. Attentive staff. And amazing coffee too!

The food was not as good as expected. The lamb doner was so dry.

Wow food was delicious, service was prompt and ambience was lovely. Keep up the good work.

The person seating us was so lovely and even grabbed us some dog beds but the person serving us was so obnoxiously rude And kept giving us foul looks we love coming to megan’s usually however this lady rewind our experience today and charged us 6 pounds for terrible service.

Came for a brunch on Tuesday. Loved the service. My server Saakshi was very friendly and professional. Had a wonderful time.

Went in for brunch on Tuesday and everything was amazing! Food and service was excellent, Sakshi was a great server! Overall brilliant experience!

I’d heard good things and Megan’s didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing and the service great. Will come back again soon.

Inviting atmosphere. Impeccable service. The food was cooked to perfection and every bite was delicious !

Lovely service throughout, we were seated very quickly and greeted by the lovely Saaksh (?) who was so chatty and answered our questions about the menu and also the history of the Megan’s chain. Food was very delicious and came out quickly, and Saaksh was perfectly timed on check backs and provided 10/10 service. A credit to your team :) Will be returning !!!!!

Service at Megan’s is exceptional, with Julia who was so attentive, friendly, and eager to enhance my dining experience. The restaurant’s interior is beautifully adorned with Turkish-inspired decor, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that makes you feel as though you’ve been transported to a Mediterranean haven.

Great service. I have a lot of allergies and the manager was really careful in double checking what I can eat :)

Great service ! The waiters were lovely (shoutout to Julia she was really lovely) ☺️

Had a great night! Our server, Julia, made sure everything was perfect for my friend’s birthday. Highly recommend.

lovely servers, very cute atmosphere and delicious food! (shoutout our server julia, icon xoxo)
