The best restaurants in Northgate Canterbury South East

I’ve been here a few times and the quality is consistently excellent. They serve the nicest coffees in Canterbury by a long shot and their kimchi toastie is absolutely delicious. In addition I always receive very friendly and cheerful service.

Very friendly service, delicious food… maybe a little expensive but still worth it👌

Being a solo traveller and having lost a family member lately, I assumed I wouldn’t be judged for having a quick phone chat while I enjoyed a beer here. Turns out hip gentrifiers have reached ancient Canterbury and a rather rude chap working there, immediately approached me to tell me to get off the phone. Guess you can’t buy manners!

Fresh, authentic Japanese food. Teriyaki salmon, tofu, ramen, pumpkin croquettes, gyoza. Great cocktails. Chilled out music and super front of house staff. Thank you!

Great staff good food breakfast is first class

My husband tonight was treated very badly (including discrimination about his Autism/speech) by one of the bouncers who kicked him out without a valid reason!

Love it in here, we’re local and come quite often. It’s so peaceful and we’re always left full without feeling like we’ve overindulged. The sushi is excellent, but salmon heavy- some tuna would be great. Service is gentle and largely good, although they don’t tend to accommodate even small requests like bringing the food at the same time, giving us some sirracha sauce and bringing crockery/cutlery when food is delivered to table. The space is a little cold, both in temperature and decor- the clumsiness of the partition curtain only detracts from the space. That being said, we keep going back! Bring cash if you want to tip as they don’t do it on their card machine.

Abdulla and his team made our experience wonderful. Great food, service and vibes. All around a great time.

Simply the best Costa. Everyone is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Always very clean. Have to say Charlotte is super friendly and efficient

If you've not tried this restaurant before then I recommend that you pay it a visit. It looks a little different to similar restaurants but the main difference is that all diners are given space to enjoy their own company and the meal itself. The service was attentive, efficient, and relaxing. The food that we chose was very, very good. It's a good sized menu, plenty of choice, and definitely somewhere that I look forward to visiting again.

Absolutely wonderful, the food was unreal, just beautiful. Staff were all amazing, friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to return

food was cold, bun was hard and dry, meatballs were covered in pepper??

Ordered first time ,just moved to the are and have to say I am very happy about this food. Delivered hot, very tasty , proper proportion between meat and sauce , full of flavour, giving 5 stars plus 👏👌. Will be ordering again soon . Thank you very much 👏

I had the beef brisket for £35, which has no go withs, so added chips and a very small mac and cheese, which came to £45 in total. The brisket was dry, chewy and extremely salty. For £45 in Canterbury I’m expecting a spot on meal, which this was not!

I've been here before and left a 5* review then. This is another one. New information - the biryani is just wonderful. Proper Indian biryani - beautiful rice, spices and meat with a superb vegetable curry to go with it.
