"From the outside this restaurant doesn’t look like much. Don’t be fooled. This place is FANTASTIC. We went as a group of 4 and had a great time there. It wasn’t particularly busy the night we were there. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and was friendly too. It makes such a difference when the waiter is doing a good job, and this guy was brilliant. We ordered some garlic mushrooms that weren’t on the menu. The waiter assured us the chef would be more than happy to do a special dish for us which was great. Every dish we ordered was really tasty and looked as though the chef had really put a lot of effort in to each dish. I will certainly be returning soon. Highly recommended. Thanks"

"Visited here with my partner in October First impressions were good ones, I’m a big fan of Mexican food and the menus looked as if they had a lot of choice and resonably priced, the restaurant was full with a decent atmosphere, usually a...good sign. Alarm bells started ringing when we ordered our main, calamari and an assortment of chips and dips. The calamari consisted of large, battered rings, clearly frozen (my guess is Iceland) and a mayonnaise. The chips and dips was a whole bag of cheap super market tortillas slopped on a dinner plate accompanied by shop bought hummus, sour cream and gauc. It’s a dark day when you enter a Mexican restaurant and they don’t even make their on guacamole….. even I make my own guacamole! However, we were hungry and ploughed through….. I’d like to point out at this point, I’m months pregnant and when it’s dinner time, I’ll eat anything. For mains we ordered the ginger and chilli tuna steaks which were served ‘turf and surf’ style. This means on its on griddle with a whole jar of what can only be described as uncle bens sauced shoved on top with peppers and onions. The tuna steak was extremely chewy and had a pungent smell. We couldn’t eat it. Praise the lord the the side of McCain’s oven cooked wedges which came with the dish (another whole dinner plates worth), for it was the safest thing to eat. Naturally after deciding enough was enough we asked to speak with the manager who was reluctant to help in anyway, very defensive over his frozen tuna and all in all, a bit dismissive. He did ask if he could get us anything else to eat, I’d rather raid the frozen aisle at my local Tesco thanks, and did offer us a drink on the house, to which we politely refused and asked for the bill. When we received this, the waitress announces proudly ‘here’s the bill, and we’ve given you a discount’ I pick up the paper with baited breath, what is it? Free drinks? Complimentary appetisers?? Nope! They’ve taken a whopping off our bill, which equates to approximately Bravo mariachi grill, bravo, i doth my cap to you in what I can only describe as the worst meal I’ve eaten out in a very long time."

"We were delighted to know that a Thai restaurant would be opening in Tonbridge and we have never been disappointed in all the times we've been there for dinner. The food is delicious, full of flavour the portions generous. Both food drinks are served with a smile the atmosphere is always very vibrant. You have to book in advance though because it's very popular but it's well worth the visit."

"I absolutely loved this restaurant! I visited for a birthday celebration with my two daughters and grandsons, and our meals were excellent. The food was delicious, and we had the pleasure of sitting outside in one of the beautiful pods. I enjoyed it so much that I returned later that same evening with my partner for another dinner outside in a pod, and it was incredibly cozy."

"we often visited this restaurant when the whole family were vegetarian and it was a family lover. After I decided to try vegan, I wanted to give a swallow as a vegan. there are a few options on the menu highlighted as vegan that is great, but I was made to feel quite uncomfortable when I asked if they could make different dishes vegan. for example, their side orders of spicy rice and mixed fried mushrooms. not sure why the rice wouldn't be vegan as it said it was cooked in herbal consisted or why they could not only freeze the mushrooms in oil, but I was made to feel very unpleasant by just asking. do not misunderstand me, it is definitiw a visit something worth for all, great atmosphere and service just stay what is on the menu and do not ask them what is actually in the food!"
