The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South East

The Coffee Pod is one of several coffee stops on Hastings seafront open from 8am (see also “Goat Ledge Café” and “Starsky and Hatch”) but has the disadvantage that it is exposed to the elements (wind, rain etc). After seeing a lot of good reviews online decided I must try and visit. In the end we visited twice: once of an early morning coffee, then again for an ice-cream one afternoon. The Coffee Pod seems to be part of Goodmans Barbers and Coffee Spot which is situated in The Courtyard nearby and also on St Leonard’s seafront.

The staff there are always so friendly and cant do enough for yoou. Lovely coffee too. Id recommend all

This is the first time we have been able to book the brasserie here thanks to Covid. The entrance via the clubhouse almost made us turn back, with rubbish strewn over tables and the floor, but as we wound our way through a more mellow bar area, we eventually came to this bright and modern restaurant. Too bright really and the room would really benefit from dimming the lights and real candles on the tables, so it felt more like a brasserie than a café. That said, it is surprisingly attractive and pleasantly furnished. The menu is not as published online, which was disappointing, but the options were interesting. We shared a Garden platter and a family platter and also had one soft shell crab and a lamb kofte. The Garden platter was very good with light felafel, tasty onion bhajis, and really good home-made hummus. The family platter was also very good apart from the Calamari which were very rubbery. The softshell crab, which is rarely seen in local restaurants, and the kofte were good too. Most had burgers and chips for mains which were ‘yummy’ both chips and burgers. The tuna steak was enjoyed but was said to taste like beef! I had the South Asian curry. It looked really dull with no attempt to make the dish look attractive. A pile of boiled rice on the plate and a bowl of curry with a handful of chopped cooked chicken thrown in the top and not even stirred in. However, this was gorgeous and one of the most flavoursome curries I have eaten. The waitresses made us laugh as there were three Sauvignons on the menu and we chose the Chilean. The waitress wasn’t sure if they had any and asked for our second choice, so we picked the New Zealand. We got the Australian, but it was fine so we didn’t say anything. We ordered a second bottle and this time we got the Chilean wine! This was a very pleasant meal and with a bit more atmosphere this would be a very good night out. I think the menu is perhaps a bit dear and too fancy for the residents as there were only three tables taken – they need to push this place some more with a few specials nights maybe?

Basic cafe/diner on an industrial estate open from 6:30 to mid-afternon. Quick detour for us off the M25. Definatel a local greasy spoon cafe - lots of workmen and contractors. Proper builders tea served with a really tasty breakfast plus fried bread. Lots of options available plus able to swap items for thers which was ideal for me. They also serve lunch options (hot, sandwishes, rolls and take-away)

Whether on a shopping trip or just thirsty & hungry, Costa is one of the best chain cafes to visit. This branch is no exception. The staff are great. You can't fault their friendly attitude or memory for regular customers favourite drink. Personally, I preferred the old comfy chairs, but the newly refurbished look is spot on trend. Perhaps I would spend less now as the chairs are a bit hard for a longer visit. Still, not everyone wants to sit for long enough for that to happen! In short, buy your expertly crafted drink, eat some good snacks and know your business is welcomed. Enjoy!

Tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa aquí, con buena comida y un personal muy amable, no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros y los costos eran buenas. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez en la ciudad. Mandy C.

As Wild Bean Cafes go, this is pretty standard but they do bring in good Pasties from Cornwall served nice and hot!!

When you feel the children deserve a sugary treat, this is the spot. Portions are plenty and sure to delight

After his sailing, my son and I had Panini, chips and beans and a mug of tea, most welcome after a good sail. Out for a day on the water or just for a walk around the reservoir, Hackett's Harbour is a good place to stop for a hot drink or a filling snack.

Took a break from our journey along the A27, down the road to Littlehampton. The farm shop is only 100 yards. I wondered what the signs meant by brewhouse - beer or coffee and it meant both. It is a cross between a cafe and a pub, bright and airy, a mix or seating. Serving an interesting range of draft local beers in strength and style. Also offering off sales of cans and bottles of beers ciders teas and coffees. We had some food with our very good beer/coffee. Sourdough sandwiches, mine was simple ham and cheese, were delicious. We left with a cake to share that was also very good. The next time we come this way we will take this diversion again.

Our 4th visit, lovely wonderful staff. Real value for money. Why pay £26 for 8 oz sirloin steak in Freefolk, when you can have 16oz rump steak for the same price at The George St. Mary Bourne. Lovely atmosphere, great value for money.

I was expecting a bit more if a selection here and some of the baguettes didn’t have as much filling as other prets I’ve visited. However the food still looked good Staff were friendly and helpful at the till.

Food was okay, warm but not hot, and average in quality. Hotel was fancy enough

I would love this place for location and garden but every time I go it disappoints massively. Service is very amateur - young people who don't care - service is very bad and unprofessional - sorry but it needs an overhaul, such a waste of a place - staff sitting around drinking the owners profits - such a shame
