Yalding Village Club in Maidstone

Can’t believe all these years living in Maidstone. And this was my first visit!! Lovely, friendly staff. Fantastic cheese and coleslaw tiger roll and gingerbread man.

This is now our go to food place if out in Maidstone. Each time I've eaten here, it has been great. You can tell the chef here cares about people enjoying their food.

A far cry from a truckers café, this local coffee house offers a cosy seating area with a modest menu. The interior is well decorated. There is a standard selection of hot items with a range of cakes that also cater to vegan requirements. Parking is easily found on the road, or it's a walk away for local residents who tend to come here and socialise in small groups. Prices are what you would expect.

I never write reviews, but I feel compelled to talk about the simply incredible service I had today from Marino's. I ordered online because I'm lazy like that. Unfortunately, Just Eat were being absolutely useless. The food was delayed because they couldn't get a driver. I got a call from the owner herself to update me and apologise. The restaurant had prepared my order 3 times while waiting for the promised driver in order to ensure my food was fresh, and I suspect possibly a fourth time after our call. It was instantly obvious, talking to the owner, that she cared greatly about the quality of their service and food. Eventually a driver materialised and I received my food hot and fresh and absolutely delicious. I have ordered from Marino's a few times and never had delivery issues and the food has always been amazing. As if all that wasn't enough, a hand-written apology as well as a bottle of Prosecco came with the order once it arrived. Absolute above-and-beyond service. Cannot praise and recommend these guys enough. 10/10

Taskim has truly been a godsend for my family! With so few halal takeaway options in Maidstone, we were thrilled when Taskim opened its doors. The quality of their food is outstanding, with fresh ingredients that make every meal memorable. Their donner kebab is hands down the best in Maidstone – and honestly, I’d put it up there with some of the top-notch kebabs I’ve had in London and even up north. One of my personal favorites is their 1/4 pounder with cheese, which pairs perfectly with their incredible garlic mayo. This has quickly become our go-to spot, and I’d confidently say Taskim is the best takeaway in town, especially for donner kebabs and burgers. The customer service is also excellent. The lady serving tonight was so friendly and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. She’s definitely a credit to the team! If you’re in Maidstone and looking for fresh, delicious halal takeaway, you won’t find better than Taskim. Highly recommend!
