The best restaurants in Dartford South East

This was a lovely meal and my first time - I was impressed! The ambience and food was fantastic. The waitress was attentive and friendly xx

Have driven past this a number of times. Just off the M25 on a roundabout. Plenty of parking. Have to register to park. Fantastic menu. Good value. Not cheap but great streaks. Extremely friendly service. Really nice inside. A little surprised by this but should not be. Good bar. Great ambience. Clearly very popular. A great treat. Lots of special from the app if you have it. In the area? Great place to eat with the family.

I had high hopes for Siam Radhuny in Dartford, but unfortunately, our experience was nothing short of disappointing. We were a party of seven celebrating a special family birthday and had booked well in advance, receiving confirmation of our reservation online. However, when we arrived, it became clear that our booking had been entirely overlooked. Despite showing the confirmed reservation on email at the door, we were left waiting for a table to become available and cleaned. This was not the start we had envisioned for our celebration. The issues didn’t end there. Once seated, our starters arrived at different times, with some members of our party finishing their plates long before the last person was served. Even more frustrating, there was over an hours wait between finishing our starters and the main course arriving, leaving us wondering if we had been forgotten. We had to ask several times being told that our mains were on their way. When the main courses finally arrived, two of the side dishes were cold - not just lukewarm, but cold to the touch - and had to be sent back to the kitchen. My mother’s tofu dish seemed to be overcooked, making it hard and chewy, not the soft texture one would expect from tofu. Additionally, the service throughout the meal was poor. The waiters were inattentive, rarely checking in on us, and we struggled to get their attention for additional drinks. Some of the cutlery was also dirty, which we asked to be replaced, only to have to remind the waitress to bring replacements. Once we finished our mains, the neglect continued. There was no attention to our table, and we had to actively seek out someone to ask for the bill as we had decided not to wait further for deserts or coffees. When we raised our concerns with the manager, his only excuse was that the restaurant was busy. He had no empathy to the situation or resolution, even with his "30 years experience in the business???". It took prompting from us to even get an apology from the manager, and there was no offer of compensation or even a round of complimentary drinks to make up for the poor experience. We even had to ask for the service charge to be removed from the bill - a service charge that certainly wasn’t earned. Overall, what should have been a memorable birthday celebration was tainted by subpar service, long waits, and poorly executed dishes. It’s hard to imagine returning after such a frustrating experience. We expected far more, especially given the occasion. A restaurant’s success hinges on more than just food - it’s about the experience, the service, and this one failed on every level. I didn't want to give them even 1 star.... To add, this restaurant seems to focus on its take-away customers, as take-away orders seemed to leaving the kitchen faster that dine in customers..... what a great business model!

Been coming here for a few years, ordered a delivery, it took over 90 minutes to turn up, and it was cold, sent it back and was told I would be refunded back onto the card I paid with, should take 3 days, it's now 8 days later, and every time I call, I get excuse after excuse and still haven't got my refund, absolutely useless

Poor service made this a very disappointing first experience of Cadiz restaurant. Despite there being only four covers at any time while we were there, the service was unexplainably slow. The service staff/manager lacked any attentiveness and friendliness and an adjacent table also complained to us of the same thing having waited an age to get their drinks. Before even having time to look at the menu, we were offered bread and olives to which we said yes but found out afterwards come in at a price of £9!!! The olives arrived, but we didn’t see the bread for 15-20 minutes despite reminding the staff. We you even suggested cancelling it to replace it with something else from the menu, but was told it was already in the oven! However, a couple arrived after us short after they sat down and long before us. Throughout the evening we had to approach the waiter/manager to chase our orders while he sat at his laptop at the bar at the bar. From a food perspective, the food was generally okay and as others have mentioned the pork cheeks are very good and I enjoyed the patatas con huevos y jamon. The jamon croquetas, which are usually a favourite tapas of mine, however were disappointingly stodgy and dry/pasty. If the service had been better, we may have considered returning as we’re always looking for opportunities to support local restaurants. But based on this experience it’s unlikely I would recommend returning to Cadiz which is a real shame really as it doesn’t take much to be more attentive to your customers.

Delicious coffee, pastries are simply enticing.😍😍😍I was served truffles with coffee, which was very pleasing, nice environment, helpful staff. And besides, a good time with a friend in between shopping.

The girls (staff) were so lovely, and food was lovely too

The Rose is an awesome place to visit for food and drink. Great food options, great staff and importantly at a reasonable price. Sunday is only roast dinners but they are lovely. Been around 5 or 6 times for Sunday roast.

My friend and I spent a lovely afternoon here. The young lady behind the bar was exceptional. We had dirty fries with crispy chicken. Delicious

Tiffany and Paul make you very welcome Fantastic place to drink

Website says close at 11pm. Walked 1.2 mile to get there to find out door was locked at 10.05pm. Man shouted through letter box that they had shut early. Only been here a few times and have enjoyed the atmosphere and food but given the amount of other Indian restaurants around, I doubt Raj will be me choice again anytime soon

My favorite Chinese takeaway in Dartford by far! The food is always delicious, and the staff are lovely and friendly every time. Highly recommend!

I hate to give a bad review as we have been going here for fish and chips over the last 20 years. It definitely used to be the best fish and chips around, with lovely light oil free crispy batter, and crunchy chips. The last 3 or 4 times we have visited, which is probably over 8 months, things have changed dramatically. Maybe there is a new owner? It used to be owned by a lovely Cypriot family, who couldn’t do enough for you. Anyway, last night food was really bad. Thick soggy batter that left a layer of oil on the paper and pale chips. So sorry, but I can’t really recommend and 3 stars is probably too much.

Great bar staff. Very competitive priced drinks local were very welcoming.
