The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Rother South East

Wanted somewhere to eat before going to Bedgebury for the Xmas Lights display. Only place open for a mid afternoon meal. WOW! What a find! Don't be deceived by appearances, this restaurant is amazing! Incredible food, fabulous service and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back! Thank you A21 Aroma!

Gem of a find. Lovely decor, friendly staff and amazing vegetarian menu! Food and service excellent. Will definitely be going back.

A bit quiet only a few others there. Mezcal was good.

The hotel we were staying in recommended the restaurant so we followed their advice and booked a table. What a massive disappointment. The “manager” was so rude and unwelcoming, pointing at a few tables telling us to sit where we wanted. He then told us it was a shortened menu, without explaining what that meant. After enquiring he said it was just there starters, three mains and three desserts. My husband and I took some time to consider if we wanted to stay, but with limited knowledge of Rye we decided to try to make the most of the evening. The burgers we ordered were dry and not cooked the way we had requested. Service was so poor and when the bill came, a 12.5% service charge had been added, and the 10% discount code we had from our hotel and been ignored. I challenged these issues and a revised bill (about £28 less) was provided. We will visit lovely Rye again but absolutely not go to the restaurant again.
