The best restaurants in High Street Maidstone South East

Amazing atmosphere and service, you are greeted by very friendly staff. Food is very tasty and I would definitely recommend you visit for breakfast!!

Host most welcoming and lovely sunny day for a pint

A good vfm meal with the benefit of easy listening live piano in the background.

Fantastic food and service. Came as part of a large group and had the set menu. Great variety of food and generous portions. Definitely worth a visit if you want great Indian food.

We started coming to la taberna in 2021 and found that any tapas we had (including in seville and madrid) just did not compare to the food here. We booked for 7pm on a saturday and preordered the chicken and chorizo paella. We have wanted to try the paella for a while but were never organised enough in sorting this out. I usually go for the strawberry cider, which is excellent but opted for the rose which was also great. Words cannot describe how excellent the paella was, literally the nicest rice i think i have ever eaten. So much flavour and it was so delicious we nearly devoured the whole (large) pan of it. We also ordered the patatas bravas and gambas pil pil. The prawns are our absolute favourite and any we have tried just don’t taste like these ones. I am gluten free and the menu is so clearly labelled and it is a treat to be able to have so many options. The atmosphere is lovely, with the restaurant being inside an old church. The customer service is always excellent and everything just feels so authentic. If you have never been before try the chorizo in red wine and the creamy mushrooms. We just love it here so much and we come to maidstone to visit this place. Cannot rate it highly enough, one of our top 3 restaurants ever.

My friend and I have said for ages we wanted to try here as they do a special offer at lunchtime and also we had heard good things about it. They do a set lunch menu where you can choose a main dish and either a rice or naan for £8.99 each. There are a lot of choices, so there is something for everyone. You can have the main dishes with chicken, lamb, pork, vegetables, or paneer. If you want prawn, it's an extra £1. We had some extras, eg, poppadoms, sauce tray, and wine, so that put the price up, obviously. The food was delicious. We chose chicken pasanda, lamb makhani, pilau rice, and a garlic naan. We shared our dishes, and all of them were lovely. In hindsight, maybe we shouldn't have ordered 2 creamy dishes, but we'll know for next time. And there will be a next time 😋 Decor is lovely as well, and the service is really good. Attentive, professional, and friendly. I definitely recommend this place, and if you don’t have wine or the added extras, it's a bargain.

A wonderful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and excellent, always fresh food prepared with love and care.

Lovely food at a good price with no service charges on the bill nice friendly staff Easy to book on line Will definitely be back for our second visit

Great food, excellent price cos it was a groupon, fantastic service from Sezer. Spot on. You won’t be disappointed. It was a 6.30 booking, so pretty quiet, as expected.
