The best restaurants in Canterbury South East

Really good takeaway, collection or delivery. Good value. Really enjoyed the satay sauce, mushroom chow mien.

We always liked the Shad Restaurant, reckoned it was the best Indian in Herne Bay and Whitstable combined, and have really missed it since it closed. At last we got round to trying their new takeaway - and the food is great! Quite a few of the specials they used to do are available. We don’t often do takeaways, but from now on that’s the one we’ll be using.

After placing an order on Just Eat the restaurant did not acknowledge the order after 30 minutes and Just Eat calling them too. Ended up cancelling the order

Decent food, although a bit pricey (tourist prices), not much atmosphere.

We found this little gem by chance this afternoon and popped in for a family lunch. The staff were so warm and friendly and could not do more for you. Our son loved the play area and made the most of the sun whilst we waited for lunch. We ordered a mixture of things - a sirloin steak, vegan steak burger and vegan nuggets basket meal for our son. Everything was flawless. The portions were gigantic (and I should add that’s the only reason the plates were not cleared!) and extremely good value for money. My husband commented that the vegan steak burger is the nicest burger he has ever had. Add to this there was a phenomenal collection of beer and cider bottled and on tap. The atmosphere was brilliant and though we were having an early lunch, the garden was soon filling up. Really delightful find. We had to head off quite quickly so I didn’t get a chance to thank management personally for such a great visit so thought I’d do the next best thing and leave a much deserved 5* review instead. Looking forward to coming back!

I didn’t like my skate very much, though my three family members liked their cod, plaice and chicken burger. Chips good. Unfortunately it was bloody expensive.

Fish & Chips was brilliant, both are crispy. Oysters was fresh for sure.

Big portions and cooked it exactly how I asked for it. Very clean and quick service. I think Golden Moon is the best Chinese takeaway in Whitstable.

Very nice staff and good service! The food was good too, at least what you‘d expect when ordering Italian food. Lovely atmosphere too!

Food was great and reasonably priced, hats off to the chef Jamie, who I had to pleasure of meeting. Charismatic staff with helpful suggestions on drinks and food, Outstanding service. Amazing atmosphere to watch premier league games as well as an open garden to enjoy a beer under the sun.

Bounced about town before our ears found this place. Smiling bouncer, bumping lovely dancefloor and a DJ that is mixing for fun and for the crowd. Diverse crowd, seemingly 21+. UK garage and more on the day and everyone being friendly and having fun. Pints reasonably priced. No entry fee. Packed dancefloor but space to dance and have fun. Nothing inappropriate going on. Gem.

Food was absolutely amazing, service was good despite the poor waitress was working all on her own , take my hat off to her . Atmosphere is good but music is a bit loud

The staff's friendly demeanor and efficient service, without excessive inter-staff communication, create a positive shopping experience. High customer traffic is observed during peak hours. The coffee and pre-packaged food offerings are of high quality. I frequently utilize the outdoor seating area for people-watching, a personal leisure activity.

Delivery time was repeatedly changed and we eventually received our food an hour and a half after the order was placed. When it did arrive it was all too cold to enjoy. Except the Can of drink which was warm from being placed right next to the food.

Had lunch and dinner here this week as big parties celebrating a wedding anniversary and birthday. Both fantastic meals and atmosphere, really enjoyed our time here clearly as we keep coming back. Special thank you to manger Abi who has helped me with special requests regarding big tables and lovely manner and conversation. Lily who has been very attentive and worked hard clearing tables when everyone is done not just leaving it, and straight back serving everyone at the bar as well, again lovely conversation. Also another shout out to a lady behind the bar who has been so amazing regarding the allegories we have had in our party making sure she is checking every product and going out her way without even asking. Amazing staff you have just a shame I didn’t get her name. Thank you all for such lovely service and for going out your way for us all!
