Absolutely amazing food, especially the onion bhaji. Great to have the choice of Indian and Nepalese cuisines, a mixture ordered on our table of four. Everything was hot, well presented and the spice flavours defined each dish perfectly. Will definitely be back as it will now be our favourite place to eat in Tonbridge. Thank you for a lovely evening

We’ve just had a delicious meal. I had the chicken dumplings starter which was delicious and then the traditional Nepalese meal that was a lamb curry, with lots of accompaniments and was really tasty…it was lovely to be advised about the different dishes…favourite restaurant! Thanks

First trip here and was pleasantly suprised. Definitely worth booking for 7pm on a Saturday because by 8pm it was full. Reasonable price too, £63 for two glasses of wine, momo veg and a mixed starter, all very tasty. Aloo Bodi Tama Tarkari was very tasty, and the Chicken Rogan was delicious but for the chicken being a little dry. The dish of the night was the Tarka dhal side which was lovely and creamy as it should be. Super nice staff, I imagine this place is going to get better too, I've been to more upmarket Indian/Nepalese restaurants that need to learn a thing or two from Gurkha Valley, both in terms of taste and price. Will revisit.

New management & new restaurant so had waited a bit but now I know we shouldn't have. The restaurant was lovely and clean, lovely staff who helped me choose something I have never chosen. I had the lamb special and my husband got the mixed special and dumplings along with other side dishes. It was absolutely delicious! Generous portions, lovely and hot and the lamb was lush. The onion bajjis were enormous so obviously we ordered too much so we now have a delicious lunch for tomorrow too. Will definitely be coming back and telling everyone to visit too.

I love this restaurant. We often take the (teen) kids here. Feels like authentic cuisine. Service is friendly and unfussy. Good selection of drinks always a non-alcoholic beer. If you're planning on going by train it is a bit of a walk from the station but there is plenty of parking over the road near the castle. Highly recommend as your dining place if you are in Tonbridge.

Can’t go wrong with the cutest and occasionally cuddliest cats. Such a great atmosphere and chatty staff. Highly recommend the top cat hot chocolate, as long as you finish it before the cats try to eat it! 🐱 Very affordable for an hour in the best company 🐈

A lovely little cafe with the most adorable cats. The staff were super friendly and the hot drinks we had were absolutely delicious. The cats are all clearly very happy and well looked after and a couple came and sat on our laps and interacted with us. A great price for a cute afternoon treat. Would recommend.

Paws cat cafe has always been really good when I've visited. Plenty of cats (the most important part!), lovely staff and straight forward cafe style food. The cafe is laid out well for photography, comfy and there's never been any rush to leave bang on an hour. As of 2024, £10 gets you in and a drink. I feel this is fair value. Probably best to book but I've always been lucky with walk in appointments. I do visit outside of school time. It's a brilliant place to spend a relaxing quiet hour and I'd would recommend the cafe to anyone who enjoys cat company.

One of the best, most chilled cat cafes I've been to. Having a restrained amount of people on at one time is clearly good for the cats, who are very sociable and relaxed around people. Much better than busier cafes where cats tend to hide from too many people or too much noise. Reservations required and food is simple and well presented. Looking forward to going again!

Our favourite neighbourhood cafe serving traditional English breakfast and brunch menus. Nothing fancy, but I can say their burgers, chips and spaghetti are unbeatable. Weekly visit is a must! Staff is extremely attentive and cheerful. A great pleasure to recommend.

Always welcoming. The best food at a great price. Best milkshakes and in town! As trying to eat healthier, they were more than happy to change a meal up for me, replacing chips with salad. Very tasty. Their jacket potatoes are great too. Happy to do food to takeaway as well.

Lovely place with very friendly service! Exactly what you’d expect from a traditional English cafe and very good menu choice (including build your own breakfast). Food was hot and delicious! And the best part is they have a mr whippy machine so you can have an ice cream for dessert! Prices were on the higher side but still reasonable.

I love it here. I have been ordering here for the last 9 years or so on & off. (I don't eat any other take away food & fast food at all and picky with the quality of my food and don't compromise) Despite it looks like a small take away place, the quality of the food is really good, portions are generous indeed. Their Ramen Soup are absolutely wonderful, no other take away places all around this area offer full main meal size of Ramen Soup except tiny little bowl size. Although I have "my usual" to order on regular basis, I heard from my friends that they speak highly of the food here. If its cooked with Love & smile as well, that's even more bonus. Thank you Daily Rice

We rolled up after a panto at Tonbridge school and decided to eat in. The service was very welcoming and the young man serving was very knowledgable and helped us to try some great new dishes. The food came out on on plates accompanied with cutlery and was delicious. We were happy with the variety quality and presentation of all our dishes. They even gave us a doggy bag as the portion sizes were generous. The canteen style seating added to the friendly atmosphere. Overall a very pleasant experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Looks and is basic, good clean cheap. You can sit and eat in again since Covid on one of the long communal bench tables. I had a vegetable noodle dish with green tea, both were very nice. I have never had anything here which I wish I had not had later, that often happens with over intensively enhanced food flavour, which is nice at the moment. This food is nice at the moment and is nice later.

This wonderful cafe has to be of the most child friendliest places in the UK. Tucked up on a side street in Tonbridge I only found it because I googled cheap places to eat while on a day trip to the town. The children's meals were wholesome and delicious and altogether perfect. I had a fluffy baked potato and prawns in a delicious mayonnaise with a beautiful side salad. It was all a great eating experience for a family of noisy hungry children! And the staff are very friendly and obviously love having children in to eat. They also make a proper mug of tea. I can strongly recommend Jimmy's Cafe. The photo doesn't do the potato justice. I was so hungry and the freshly cooked smell enticed me to dig in before I had taken the picture. It really was top notch yummy!

Lovely coffee, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. However, the furnishings are looking a little "tired". I sat in the corner on the long couch, and the "plastic" (?) covering is peeling off in many places, giving a rather shabby look overall. Like the fact that I can have a Loyalty, and I will be back whenever I return to Tonbridge.

It's well past time for senior managent to support the team here and refurbish the place. I've been twice in the last couple of days arriving to a cosy space only for the ancient AC to start blowing cold after 45 minutes. I really don't want to cross the road to somewhere else -the coffee's not as good- but I might enjoy the environment a bit better!
