Minel Meze & Grill (King’s Arms) in Gravesham

Fantastic place. Gabriel and his wife are so welcoming and friendly. Food is amazing, especially the steaks, best we have had and cooked to perfection. It has quickly become our favourite place to go to eat, drink and relax. Highly recommend

Very tasty food. Good portion sizes. Halal food is available. Parking on site.

Just came back from a fantastic lunch with good friends, very tasty, and reasonably priced too. Will definitely be revisiting.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere lovely ambience. Friendly staff, excellent value for the quality and choice of food. I would highly recommend and am looking forward to going back beautiful setting too

We have dined here for the last two Saturdays and we have had one of the best meals ever. Food is fantastic and the service is brilliant very attentive staff.

Excellent service and excellent food

Food was excellent 👌 even though the restaurant was busy I felt rushed and instead of food place on table I felt it was thrown on the table in a rush, the Atmosphere was enjoyable,

Very poor service by a man waiter. He sat us at the table and after us ordering food sat 20 ladies next to our table, whom obviously reserved that table: talked a lot and load etc Normal to the function and he knew all that.. This should have been said to us in advance and we may not have necessarily ate there as we wanted quiet atmosphere. Place had many empty table so he could have given table without squishing us within the same room as the function. He took wrong order from my husband instead of half / half (beef / chicken) shish he actually brought to the table one plate of each (beef and chicken) and insisted that my husband ordered two plates all for himself!!! When waiter was reluctant to change it our friends took one plate off waiters hands so not to trouble him and he was so pleased. Waiter spoke to my husband about his holiday away (why? Who asked?) but didn’t want to help to correct his own mistake! Disappointment. Food was good but service was not.

Great evening. 2 for one cocktails flowed frequently. Waitresses attended to all our requests fantastically. Music was great. Only thing I could fault if I had to was sax player was nice but not needed and mac and cheese side was steep at £8. Other than that, food was lovely and well priced. Thank you

We had a great time here last night. 1st time and won't be the last. Valentine really looked after us, such a nice man. Our food was lovely. Cocktails were amazing. Thank you all for looking after us 😄

Had my birthday celebration Food was spot on service was excellent Was really looked after Highly recommend and will definitely return

I had an excellent dining experience at Minel Meze & Grill! The food was fantastic—I ordered the lamb chops, and they were incredibly succulent and full of flavor. The complimentary bread, paired with their delicious garlic and chili sauce, was a wonderful touch. The service was lovely and impressively quick, especially for a Sunday afternoon. Overall, the meal was reasonably priced, making it a great value. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately we couldn’t book because they were fully booked but we can understand why. After getting takeaway instead the food was absolutely amazing. The king prawns were perfect and full of flavor, we couldn’t get the Mac and cheese as takeaway so look forward to trying that when we can get a table! The customer service was fantastic and they are very welcoming too

Nice country venue, attentive staff and beautiful food. Even has good car park.

Food and service was excellent, beer wasn't bad either, great pub/restaurant. Food was better than before.

Had our first visit to this restaurant today 20/7/2024 and it was an excellent meal , staff, and food brilliant and big portions also !!, had to take one of koftes home with me and I don’t own a dog but no way am I going to waste it , keep up the good ways guys and girls and see you soon !! Danny and Lynda Collins meopham Kent.

It was a birthday dinner and it was fantastic. Food was delicious and best part was the cocktail. It was very busy on a Tuesday evening so would definitely recommend to book in advance. I would love to go back and definitely recommend to try their cheese & garlic mushrooms ☺️

Excellent restaurant. We had 3 courses and enjoyed them all. We will definitely go back. Highly recommended.

Father's day dinner Great venue, very good food and service. Highly recommended.

Good, reasonably-priced Turkish lunch.

Always bring carrots out for the horses. Lovely staff.

Wonderful food A to Z.. Monk fish is an excellent dish. Bathroom needs some organizing though. Please put a trash can in the bathrrom.

Brilliant food, fantastic service!

Our first visit to Minel tonight for a family meal and won’t be our last. Food was exceptional - every dish was done to perfection and to a very high standard. This is not your average Meze food and it exceeded expectations. Friendly service in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Going to celebrate mom's birthday! The food was delicious! And a great atmosphere, with a live artist who sang happy birthday to mom. Greetings from Belgium. ❤️

Food and service was excellent!

Great food, friendly atmosphere 👌

Good beer, not had food personally but others I know have. All good.

Had seen this restaurant been near the converted, but hadn’t yet been. we went on a Saturday night myself and my wife. Good overall atmosphere and food was good although I would’ve liked the portion sizes to be a little bit bigger for the price point. Waitresses were friendly enough but music could’ve been a little bit lower. Restaurant felt clean and tidy There isn’t much parking on site, but is locally nearby if needed

An amazing dinner tonight. Food never disappoints, Lamb chops were amazing, fillet steak cooked perfectly and other courses also lived up to expectations. Service was faultless. Thank you a lovely evening.

Was taken to Minel for my birthday. Lovely experience. Food and service were excellent

Didn't get inside the door over booked mother's day. Left out in the pouring rain. Enough said.

I hate to leave a bad review but we was left so so disappointed on mothers day. We expected it to be busy but it was utter carnage in there. We was told our toble was just being cleaned several times and after 30mins still no table!! We ended up leaving as no doubt we would've had to have waited ages and also for food and drinks as we heard other people complaining about how long they had to wait. What makes it worse not once did any member of staff apologize.

Fantastic experience. Great food and lovely staff

Fabulous food, service was a bit slow, but it made the evening quite fun actually... We will definitely be back, maybe try the lunchtime offer

I went to have a birthday lunch with my dad today. Delicious meal, friendly, helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere!

Amazing experience, I have starred this place to go again if back in the area! Lovely waiter Gabriel thank you especially!

we had 2 waitresses for our table but both could not provide drinks when requested all throughout the meal. had to ask 3 times for my drinks which didn't arrive so had to go to the bar and order it myself. you know when you need a drink after and during eating? well i had to wait for 30 mins at this point which is not normal. when we ordered drinks they didn't write it down so they immediately forgot the order and carried on serving another table. MINEL MEZE need more staff with either pens and paper or ipad.

Beautiful food and service would highly recommend,

I hired this place for my daughter birthday, it was brilliant ,service,food,atmosphere. Staff Were so accommodating . Definitely recommend .

Had two meals there within a two week period. Meals were decidedly average for the price, and they had no beer that was advertised. I'd give it a miss next time a pop across to the pub over the road.

Thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday evening - the staff were welcoming, helpful and catered for all our needs. The restaurant is clean, cosy and the food absolutely delicious - not pricey at all considering the flavours and quality of the produce. We ate so many dishes …

Lovely food, nice clean restaurant and great service!

Very nice food and great service! Second time visiting and once again, very impressed. A great local business serving fresh Turkish food in a pleasant setting. Would recommend.

Went to Minel Meze as part of a work group. The food was very very good and tasty. Lots of meze dishes to chose from too. My Pina Colada Mocktail was absolutely delicious best around 😋

We arranged a birthday celebration for our work colleagues. There were 14 of us, and I couldn't have asked for a better venue! The atmosphere was lovely, staff were very attentive, and the food/menu was perfect for everyone! Would definitely recommend!

We had a work meal at Minel, the food was fantastic as usual and the staff where great. Thanks team

Really enjoyed our recent meal at Minel. Impeccable service and excellent food, Thankyou for a great evening!

Went on a Saturday had a table booked for 7.30 this wasn’t ready so had to wait at an already crowded entrance. Food was so late coming out , our mains arrived at 9.50pm. Starters had items missing, service was appalling as they were understaffed. Asked for a jug of water 6 times which we never got. Drinks were slow to come and not correct. The food however tasted really good which makes it difficult to complain but the service was so so bad. We were giving a discount but would have preferred a better evening. Toilets are disgusting and smell of urine but judging by the lack of staff this could not be dealt with or kept clean. Men’s toilets had a bucket under the urinels. We certainly won’t be rushing back

Early Sunday evening dining for three. Warm welcome, friendly ambience, good sound tracks & the meal was excellent!

Visited Minel with family and couldn’t have had a better experience; greeted at the door by a welcoming team, staff couldn’t be more accommodating throughout the night. We had hummus, prawns, fries, chicken shish and kofte along with some delicious warm bread and dips. Drinks we had Amstel, Pina colada and Espresso martinis which couldn’t have been better especially with the 2for1 offer they had running. For deserts some Baklava and Tiramisu which was Devine. All very well presented but also tasted amazing. Could not fault if I tried. Adequate parking off road too. Thank you all at Minel!!

Second time here, as we really enjoyed it first time. Food was lovely & staff very friendly. Service was ok, we did wait a while for mains & drinks, as there was quite a few big bookings. Maybe need a few more staff/chef at weekends.

Lovely food and staff are lovely and friendly.

Had the Christmas menu. Good price £40 per head with glass of prosecco. Starters and mains- wonderful. Deserts disappointing - Christmas pudding was actually sticky toffee and the lemon cheesecake was a bit frozen and not particularly lemony. Service good.

Excellent relaxed atmosphere, excellent Staff, Value for money.

A special birthday lunch with family. Friendly staff Gabi and Natalia made it a special and even sang Happy Birthday. Food was delicious, service very good. Great selection on menu, comfy seating and pleasant surroundings. Give this lovely new restaurant a go. We will be back

Fabulous place would recommend to all.

Friendly welcome, attentive service and excellent food.

Attentive staff great food the four of us throughly enjoyed our evening and it was my birthday the staff came and sang happy birthday to me, will definitely make this a regular xxxx

This was our first visit so we were a bit unsure as to what sort of experience we would have…well ….very happy to say it was excellent. We were greeted by friendly staff who were role models in customer service through our whole meal, very helpful, very friendly and always on hand if we needed anything. They were called Nikola and Natalia and made a big contribution to the enjoyment of our dining experience. There was a large choice on the menu and the portions were very generous. After ordering we were given some flatbreads with two sauces, one garlic and one chilly. This was a lovely amuse bouche whilst waiting for the main courses. These came after a sensible time gap having been freshly cooked. Both meals were excellent and we were extremely happy with the quality. On the wind down after finishing the meal and waiting for the bill, the young ladies serving us asked if we would like to try, on the house, a speciality they do which was Baklava, this came on two portions with ice cream, what a lovely gesture! We thought the price for all the meal was sensible and delighted to say we will be returning again soon. Thanks again to all, involved.

Such lovely ambience, delicious food and great service!

Food is excellent,but can be expensive. Just stick to the menu

Very welcoming and attentive staff. The tables are nicely spaced out, not crammed in as with some places. We ordered three starters, two mains, one dessert and four drinks between the two of us. All of the food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Generally the atmosphere was fine but we felt the walls perhaps needed a few pictures and the piped music was inoffensive but bland so would've preferred it turned down a bit more into the background so we could ignore it more! The menu didn't appeal to our teenage sons unfortunately and if they had come along it would've been quite expensive for a family of four. The food was nicely presented and so tasty though, so I'm sure we'll be back :) Definitely recommend it as somewhere to go as a treat. N.B. Expect to spend £40-£50 pp

This is the first time my partner and I attended Minel and we were so impressed. The staff were very attentive and couldn't have done more for us. The barman made amazing cocktails and will also make anything you want, no trouble. The food was lovely, with lots of vegetarian option. The barman even gave me a complimentary cocktail and the manager kindly made sure we got home. It was a very personal experience, unlike lots of chain restaurants I have been to. It also had a really nice atmosphere, from thr decor to the background music.

Excellent service, excellent menu options. Atmosphere was really warm and friendly. Staff were very attentive and extremely friendly And efficient.

Always our go to spot when we are in the area! Friendly staff, amazing food and great value, would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice evening out

Such Great service and food, we absolutely loved our visit, couldn't fault anything

Had a lovely meal here. Portions were very generous! The live band was an added bonus. Staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant and lovely atmosphere food is delicious 😋

Its a real shame because the food was actually ok but the service is unbelievably shocking. The waitress dropped a load of sauce on me and then muttered an apology under her breath. I didnt say anything as i knew it was an accident. Her waitress friend then started to look after out table but she gave me such attitude. Service was really slow too (we were in there for 3 hours because of slow service). I then thought, given they ruined my clothes, that we should be given a discount on our bill which they didn't offer... i had to ask. And when i did the waitress was so moody. When I asked where the bathroom was she didnt even talk to me and just pointed in the direction whilst rolling her eyes. I will not be coming back here and i suggest you dont too unless you want a Karen giving you attitude for no fault of your own!

Had such a great experience here would recommend to anyone

Family run authentic Greek restaurant. Generous portions cooked to perfection at surprisingly low prices

Great service, nice people, good food at ok prices. Thank you.

Loved the food, tasty, well cooked, even the salad was enjoyable - will be back. Thank you

Really tasty meal both myself and my husband said it was a good roast dinner which is often hard to find even better if there was a bigger portion of roast potatoes meat and veg were plentiful though.Definitely be back.

Brilliant food, would highly recommend

The people here was so welcoming and friendly and food was amazing we was going somewhere else to eat but passed this restaurant and it smelt so lovely we stopped and was not disappointed

Good menu, tasty food, good sized portions and very friendly service!

Spectacular food, amazing service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Can not ask for much more than that when you eat in food. Just put it in slight words the food was out of this world.

We mainly ordered the starters and it was of mixed quality. Some of the food was not very hot and the hummus was grainy. The lamb in hummus dish was served in a rather big bowl. This was a classic example of quantity over quality. Our dessert didn't feel fresh. However, falafels were very nice and the service was good for a week day lunch. Overall, the menu was too expensive for the quality offered. Renovations look good, but currently lacks a bit of atmosphere. We may try again in the future once improved.

I came here for the first time today for my 20th birthday and the staff and food was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! The staff put on a birthday song and clapped and brought out a slice of cheesecake with a candle on it, they were absolutely amazing and it is now my new favourite restaurant!!!!!! I hope they stay in business a long time they are so lovely and amazing!!!! 10000/10 reccomend coming here!!!!!

Absolutely delicious. Had heard good things and yet still the food exceeded expectations! Would absolutely recommend. The fillet steak in particular was cooked to perfection. Get it.

Enjoy having a meal in Minel Meze Grill Service was very good and helpful Food good 👍

First visit today with my family. On arrival very nice welcome and was seated promptly. Lovely restaurant, nice seating, comfortable chairs and lovely decor throughout. Food was very good, starters and mains all served promptly and beautiful flavours. The reason for 4 star was due to no children’s menu and no mixed platters to share like most Turkish restaurants, therefore having to order adult meals makes it more expensive. Please consider a children’s menu and sharing platters, much more affordable! I would recommend this restaurant and would visit again, however for me it will only be for special occasions.

Just had a 70th birthday meal with 12 of my family, wow the food was fantastic, staff were great & service was spot on. I had heard of good reports & boy was they correct, will definitely go back again & I suggest you give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.👍

An absolutely amazing place to have food. Friendly staff that made you feel welcome and the food is out of this world. Highly recommended!

Lovely food and staff, as always.

Fabulous conversion of the old Kings Arms serving some beautiful and authentic food. There are some dishes on there I've never seen before and it was all cooked beautifully. Only the excessively long wait between course soured the experience (if it hadn't been a birthday celebration, several of our party would have left) but the staff were charming and attentive which rescued it somewhat. A great new dining venue which will hopefully improve as time goes on.

The food was lovely although we thought there would be more choice for grills as in doner meat but they didnt have that. It seemed weird that a meze grill would have pastas on their menu. The staff were nice but didnt seem like they fitted in at all. The place was very clean and nice music playing. The bill was calculated wrong on our part and when we left they shouted after us that there was still £5 to pay. We paid it but i did think that was bad as to be fair that was part of the tip that they put on there anyway so i feel they could have just left it. It was nice but probably wouldnt go back im afraid.

Delicious food, finally food that was pure and not greasy! Fresh rich vegetables. Children had pasta with chicken. Really tasty!

An exceptionally warm and welcoming host restauranteur who brought class and great humour to our meze experience. We were seated in the extension annexe which was okay but lacked some décor and visual interest. The food itself was good although it needed bigger portions on some of the starters, especially the stuffed vine leaves (dolmas). I think seasoning could have also been more present in some areas, such as with the lamb shank which lacked flavour. Not sure if they're preparing and freezing too many of their menu items ahead of time? On the whole it was an enjoyable experience.

The mushroom starter was good but the vegetarian main was awful silly me for thinking a glorified kebab shop could offer anything half decent to a vegetarian or vegan.

This was a very welcoming venue, the staff was pleasant and the food was amazing, the portion sizes were very generous and I will definitely return and tell all my family and friends to go and see for themselves.

Lovely restaurant, outstanding staff and fantastic food. A complete 5 star experience , made even more special by the staff surprising the birthday girl with a cake complete with candle !!. Thank you all, we will most definitely be back !!

Nice food service and atmosphere

Wonderful food A to Z.. Lamb chops were exceptional 👌 and homemade Baklava was the best thing to finish the night with. Natalia and Gabriel were fantastic who made our evening special. Highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely visit again soon. 😍😍

Great drinks menu, delicious food, fresh and well presented. Will definitely return - mainly thanks to the funny and friendly staff x

It was ok. Service was slow, especially the drinks. Waitresses were friendly enough. Food was alright, wouldn't say it was worth the prices they charge, we had an issue with one of the meals being very oily and tasteless. When we mentioned it to the owner, (as he asked) he muttering a remark he didn't think we would hear under his breath which was rude and unnecessary. We confronted him about it which he didn't like and he became defensive, he clearly can't take on feedback if it's negative. We didn't pay for that meal and we won't be going back.

Our first visit to the restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Had read mixed reviews. As we eat early (7pm) parking was an issue as cricket match on the green was on. However, a member of the staff came out and moved their car for us to park. Staff were friendly and attentive. Had a lovely table in the corner at front of the restaurant. Food was amazing and presented well. Will definitely visit again.

Friendly and efficient sever. Food was excellent with refined serving sizes compared to this companies other different locations. Will use again and soon
