The best restaurants in South East

If you like Middle Eastern food, you will love this restaurant. We had Koobideh (mince lamb skewer) and tender lamb mini steaks. Both came with a very nice salad garnish and complimentary chilli sauce if you ask for it. The food was very well prepared and presented. The service was friendly and efficient. They also had a nice Lebanese red wine. The Restaurant is spacious with no loud music so for us was an excellent experience all round.

Very friendly staff and delicious coffee. The sausage roll was a generous portion and the flapjack was v yummy. Highly recommend:)

I have been to many Indian restaurants but to me this one stands out in terms of the quality of the food. It tasted wonderful and fresh and full of well balanced spicy flavour.

Make sure to get here when they have turned on their barbecue and enjoy a good cocktail while waiting for a lovely plate of food

The Star kindly agreed to host mum’s wake on Friday. It couldn’t have gone better, communication before hand was efficient, drinks and buffet lunch for 50 served with efficiency. Very welcoming for children, family and friends. I was even contacted to be asked about mums favourite music so that they could put a background play list together. Thank you so much for accommodating us in your local friendly pub.

Whilst touring around we stopped here for lunch and so glad we did. A very pleasant cafe, lovely people running it , great food. The first thing you notice is how well kept and clean this place is. Secondly it’s difficult to choose from the varied menu, so many favourites.! So pleased I chose the sausage and mash. Never thought I’d rave about sausage & mash but it was lovely. Everything is cooked to perfection with high quality ingredients. Well worth a visit. If I lived nearby I’d be eating there regularly

Simply the best on the island. The Cream Teas are perfect. Choice of scone plus a choice of jam. Scone warmed up to the right temperature accompanied by a lovely pot of tea or a coffee. Staff very very accommodating and friendly. Dogs welcome too. What a great place

Absolutely brilliant find! It's a little out the way so never noticed it before. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, all vegetarian/vegan. Did not miss meat at all! Service was lovely, was a little unimpressed that 12.5% service was added to the bill but was happy to pay it. We will be back!

What a great welcome. Stop for a refuel bacon bab was prefect top class bacon nice soft bab and perfectly cooked. The cafe was spotless. It’s a place not to be missed.

Absolutely amazing food and service very authentic and amazingly fresh tasting food will definitely be visiting again very soon

Great variety of good tasting food, there is something for everyone on their menu. They also catered for our dietery requirements. Great service too.

Very nice coffee friendly staff Not suitable for wheelchairs

What a lovely tea room. Great atmosphere, charming staff and delicious cakes! The ice cream shakes are to die for. Will return and definitely recommend.

Best local pizza outside of New York! Always very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit or two or three!

Lovely panini, fresh and tasty, plus a great cup of tea and tasty fresh flapjack. Lovely service and great place on the Lymington Quay front.
