The best restaurants in Maidstone South East

Just had my Friday take away from zeran take away maidstone best tandoori eking prawns ever North Indian chilli chicken superb thank you guys

This is the second time that we have visited for breakfast and it is one of the best cafes around this part of Kent. The quality of the food served is excellent and the service is excellent. It's actually fantastic to find a café now that has excellent service! The sausage muffin was lovely - with good quality sausages and the espressos that we had were strong and tasted good. The whole cafe has a lovely atmosphere and is spotlessly clean. The servers are very attentive and helpful. Definitely one of our favourite places to come for breakfast - I must try the cakes next time I come!

Very disappointing. Thai is one of my favourite cuisines this did not live up to expectations. The Tempura vegetables were overly greasy and overly crispy. The chicken in the Pad Thai was over cooked and rubbery. Toilets need are down stairs and are in need of an overall. Much better Thai restaurants around

Foodies is both a shop and cafe. The shop part has lots of interesting food and alcohol, including items for dietary requirements (vegan, gluten free etc). Great for a gift or if you want to treat yourself. They also have a cafe which does eat in or take away options. I visited the cafe recently and had my baby with me. The staff were really helpful bringing my order to me while I was juggling the pram and baby.

Visited today and found the whole experience pretty bad. There were issues at first with ordering - the slush puppy machine was broken, they were out of ham and when asking for a receipt at first the receipt roll didn't work. To be fair, the lady who served us was very pleasant and apologetic as were all the waiting staff. Anyway, we were told our food would be 30 minute wait, which we were ok with. 50 minutes went by and no food. I asked a waitress if they could give some sort of indication on how much longer the food will be, the lady said they would check. 10 minutes went past and the waitress didn't come back. We had now been waiting over an hour with no indication with how long the food would be. We ended up getting the food 1hr 10 mins after we ordered it. My daughter had the kids cheeseburger. This was inedible, it was overcooked and tasted gross, none of this got eaten. We saw another woman got a refund for the same burger but at this point there was a huge queue at the bar and we didn't want to wait any longer. My club sandwich was £10.95, it didn't look great and certainly didn't seem value for money (see photo), to be fair it tasted nice. My dad had the scampi which was £13.95. He said it tasted nice but the portion of scampi seemed very small for the amount he got. All in all, a very bad experience was had. Its a shame because the crazy golf was so good.

Some will say this place has gotten a little pricey, although it may, that's due to the times however when it comes to quality, some of the menu items are fire!!! The star is the smash burgers and fried chicken. Chicken is lovely but the burgers are out of thus world and reasonably priced to boot! I do love Crispins, great for the local community. The only complaint I would say is that the family or large portion of chips need to be larger, especially for over a £5. I wish I took photos!!!

Lovely cakes as always but just a word of warning * NUT ALLERGIES BE AWARE * Firstly peanut butter brownies are in the display with multiple other brownies. Not ideal for anyone with allergies. The lady that served us had to be told not to use the same tongs on the peanut products as other products when serving us too. It’s a good job my partners nut allergy is not too severe otherwise we would have to avoided this place. I will be cautious when buying from here again. This was the first time I’ve had anything near an issue with this place so hope it was an anomaly.

It was very fresh and very tasty. The guys are also super friendly. There is seating option outside as well. A recommendation!

With four adults and one child, we met up to do our embroidery. We had a lovely greeting, and George manoeuvred furniture around for two of us to bring our mobility scooters in. He really helped in every way to make us comfortable. We had between us tea, coffee and food (not sure what my friends ordered). Thank you very much for your hospitality.

If you're walking in the country park then this is a very good place to stop for a coffee. The lady serving was very friendly and helpful. The coffee was freshly made and was good. Cakes, crisps and biscuits were also available and there is also a table where you can sit and take a rest.

What a nice surprise. Never been before but will definitely go back. Such lovely service and great little home made Italian cakes. I’m Italian and I was very impressed. Thank lovely service and great little treat will be back.

Food is high quality and the staff are attentive and friendly - would recommend to anybody!

Sausage rolls are always over cooked, they always burn the toasties been like it for a fair few weeks this would now be the last time I go here.

Had the pleasure of using this student run restaurant for lunch multiple times for lunch and breakfast and the food was always good filling at a very reasonable price as well. As training establishment some times the wait could be a little long but well worth the wait

Food stuff is very good and delicious while lacking the dining space and instant availability.
