The best restaurants in South East

It was an impromptu visit on a cold Friday night...a roaring fire and warm welcome as we entered the pub and they quickly found us a table...not full, but busy. We ordered T-bone steak and a burger, both were beautifully cooked, tasty meat and served with excellent chips and trimmings . Very relaxed casual cosy dining. It was exactly what we were looking for. We will go back as there were some lovely looking dishes on the menu and no pretensions. Not cheap but good value.

Take away client. Chicken Shashlick is my go to. Kiln cooked & not in a high calorie sauce. In 20 years Dabbas really is the best I've ever had & its consistent. The chicken is cooked absolutely perfectly, soft & juicy when it can be over cooked so esily. All the sundries, rice, saag pander & salads all equally fresh & tasty. Delivery is also pretty quick. Cannot fault Dabbas food & service.

Will definitely be back. Well worth a visit

Always great service and great food

We had a party at Ninkaci, the most perfect venue. Beautifully decorated by Jo. Everyone had such a great evening. Drinks were amazing. A big thank you to Jo and bar staff xx

Lovely little boozer with really friendly landlords

Very welcoming place with good food and a nice staff. Highly recommend :)

Delicious. Nothing more needs to be said. Simply great

Start to be very tight on chips and salad… rushing to get many orders and don’t do it properly…

Mad in Italy 2 is a hidden gem in Gravesend! The food is bursting with flavour – fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, and full of that real Italian soul. The pizza is unbeatable, the pasta is rich and comforting, and the service is warm and welcoming every time. You don’t just eat here — you feel like you’ve taken a quick trip to Italy. Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic food done right. Will definitely be back!

Not often here, but it's always excellent. This simple dish shows just how good and fresh are their ingredients. Other customers are clearly regulars. Here's to little British businesses :-)

Fantastic ice creams.A REAL hidden gem. Great for watching cricket as well.

We stopped at the Hilton Heathrow the night before our flight, but didn't want to pay their prices for breakfast. This cafe is 7 minute walk away, and was less than half the price of the hotel. The food was plentiful and hot, including a steaming mug of coffee too! Well worth the short walk if you have time!

Incredible pizza Fresh ingredients, great texture and a thin crust, chocolate souffle was sensational aswell, 10/10 would recommend.
