The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Canterbury South East

We visited Whitstable this weekend and had heard of Harbour Street Tapas on Instagram, so made a beeline for the restaurant last night. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was fantastic from the minute we walked through the doors, and was matched by friendly service and amazing food. My only complaint was that I couldn’t fit more in, so I couldn't try more of the dishes! Will definitely be back

Lily’s Social Kitchen is a fantastic café with a wonderful mission. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is absolutely lovely. We had a delicious veggie breakfast, which was beautifully presented and full of flavor. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the food and the customer experience. Beyond that, the café’s commitment to inclusivity and providing opportunities for people with learning disabilities makes it an even more special place. A truly inspiring project and a must-visit in Canterbury!

Visited with three friends and the food was lovely. Great atmosphere and friendly, efficient staff. 100% Recommend! Beetroot and goats cheese salad was amazing!

Really enjoyed our family meal here this evening. The food was excellent with a great menu to choose from.

Have been here a couple of times but not in recent years. Service was friendly and attentive however I was shocked at the prices. I know the cost of eating up has gone out in recent years thanks to Brexit and cost of living crisis, but the platter we ordered was £75…and was definitely not enough for 4-6 people as advertised. We were two adults and three kids, but without the sides that we ordered we would have been munching on the actual board… The tiny bowls of food on the platter meant each person had one small spoonful of each thing - that’s not an adequate lunch for 4-6 people. Also there was a discrepancy on the bill where they overcharged us £5 for the kids’ desserts. When I pointed it out they were quick to refund me, but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place (always check your bill!). All in all it was £150 plus tip for a family of five for not very much food at all (and only one of us purchased a drink, the rest of us having tap water). Ridiculously expensive for what you get. Food was nice enough as was the service but won’t come again.

Abdulla and his team made our experience wonderful. Great food, service and vibes. All around a great time.

My husband and I shared a couple of gluten free cakes, carrot and polenta with orange and a pot of earl grey tea each with proper cups and saucers, unlike M&S which does not provide saucers anymore! It was a very enjoyable break after our shopping visit before we went home. Staff were very friendly, helpful and polite.

Great Arabic restaurant in Kent. I have never eaten better food than the mix kebab. I highly recommend it if you want to eat Original Arabic food. For me it's just the bomb💣
