I have eaten here so many times. Last night there was 9of us, what can I say we all had a fantastic experience. The food is top notch, the service is impeccable they keep the beers coming the food comes out piping hot and well presented. The staff cannot make you feel anymore welcome. We can be quite a rowdy bunch when we get together the staff don't complain they are just happy for you to enjoy yourself

Lovely restaurant with wonderful food. They bring complimentary dishes out which give you the opportunity to try something different. Their dry garlic chicken is now my favourite. On a parade of shops hidden away on a residential road, I highly recommend this restaurant which we have become a regular customer’s .

The level of service at this restaurant was some of the best service I’ve received, I really did feel as though the service was the same calibre of a fine dining restaurant you’d expect in Mayfair. The waiter brought out numerous tasters for us to try free of charge throughout our meal including pakoras and spiced chicken with salad and even an on the house shot after the meal which was complimentary, given the cost of living currently I found this incredibly courteous and this mannerism stood out as an exceptional 5 star service. The waiter’s were very attentive and polite to me, showing empathy towards my recent accident (broken arm cast) helping me in my seat and opening the door for me, it’s been a long time since I’ve had this kind of service! The price of the food is incredibly fair, the food came out fast, the portion sizes were generous and the food was really tasty. The chicken tikka masala was a good deep red which is what I like and the chicken was well marinated and cooked well. The naan bread was delicious and fluffy which complimented the meal. My partner had the pasala which was a chef special and said it was so nice he didn’t stop to speak about how good it was! It was eaten in minutes. Waiters were attentive to ordering, refilling of drinks and requests. I would definitely come here again, the price is incredibly reasonable for the level of service and quality of food.

Wow no wonder why this place has won multiple awards! The restaurant is beautiful with amazing lights and ambiance and I really like the elephant. All the staff were really nice and the owner came and spoke to us a couple of times which was nice. The food was amazing, so many flavours and the tikka chicken was one of the best I've ever had. They even gave us a complimentary starter, main and drinks! We eat a lot of curries all over the UK and were both really impressed, and the prices were really good too, all that food for under £50. So no surprise to say that next time we are working in the area we will definitely be back 💯👍🏻

Popped in for an iced latte to take away. It’s a historic building and the atmosphere is really nice inside. The food menu looks very reasonably priced so i’ll definitely have to come back and try dining in. The vanilla iced latte was good, although the straw wasn’t long enough which made it quite awkward to carry and drink - some longer straws or flat lids would go a long way. Maybe they had run out of their usual straws, not sure :)

A hidden gem! I visited here whilst waiting for some work to be done on ym car in the nearby industrial area. The ladies were really friendly, taking the time to have a chat with everyone who visited. Food was so good! Everything is made "proper" and homemade. I had a jacket potato (pictured) and it was baked to perfection. Prices were good too! £5.95 for the jacket. It's really ununusual for a station cafe to actually be decent! So I'm gutted I'm not local and can't visit more! But I'd higly recommend if you're in the area.

Very nice pub, the food was good and our waitress was very competent. They could be a bit more generous with the fries though
Rating: 4 / 5
Visited for the first time. Pie of the day was delicious, fresh local meat, huge portions- reminded me of pies in Devon! Mash and chips were good too. Staff were friendly. Parking was on the road, its a small road which I can imagine at peak times would be busy, but there were no parking restrictions. Inside was a little small not a huge amount of seating and the outdoor seating was only 4 tables (overlooking the road and then the lake), but overall a decent reasonably priced country pub with seemingly good quality food. Worth a visit, would recommend opting for their local food!

Went there for my 2 year anniversary with my partner and loved it! The staff were very friendly and congratulated us. The food was delicious and came after a short wait! The drinks were just as good and the dessert was amazing. Our server Zoe was amazing. She was very sweet, friendly, helpful and made our overall night feel comfortable and enjoyable! Definitely recommend and will be returning!

Visited with my family on a Friday night. We booked ahead but there were a few tables (we were eating a little earlier!). The restaurant is lovely inside with a nice atmosphere. They have a good selection with steaks at different price ranges and a lot of alternatives if you don't fancy a steak. Everything we got was amazing, perfectly cooked and delicious. My husband and I shared the steak platter which came with a sirloin, rib eye, 2 fillet steaks, bone marrow and all of the sides - it was a HUGE feed and very good value for money. I'd probably get something smaller next time though! Everyone was very happy. My niece was also with us and the kids menu was pretty good too. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic and very helpful when my niece wanted some chips (after our mains had arrived) she sorted them very quickly. She was lovely and very friendly and we were grateful she was so good to us. Highly recommend.

I like coming here every so often. Not the cheapest place to eat out but it is steak! I really enjoyed the orange bomb dessert that I'd never had before, besides getting it all over new trousers, whoops...

Went in for unplanned lunch. One of us had the Jacket potatoe with Chilli Con Carne, the other the Double Cheese burger with fries and Onion Rings, plus drinks. Family run business, it was definitely a locals pub, however, they were extremely helpful friendly and welcoming. I’ll return if I’m in the area again.

Mid Thursday afternoon visit and more than a few customers in. Very friendly greeting on arrival. Six real ales available with a good selection of local and further afield. One went off while we were there and changed fairly quickly. Those I had were in good condition.

Great food, good service, perfect after hike around Otford, conveniently located minutes from station. The aroma of the chargrilled meat is just irresistible. Came back a month later, still nice and friendly.
Rating: 5 / 5
My walking used The Hilal as its meeting place yesterday, and it was a good choice. Although early, the service was very good and prices were very reasonable. The building is a piece of history, dating back, I would say at least 450 years. The low ceilings and wooden beams give the resteraunt a certain charm, and it also has its own water feature.
Rating: 5 / 5
We recently dined at Hilal and had it was exceptional experience from start to finish. The meal began with a delightful selection of appetizers, which included a variety of traditional Turkish mezes. Each dish was bursting with flavor and showcased the rich culinary heritage of Turkey. For the main course, I opted for the lamb meat, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The lamb was tender, juicy. It was served with a side of fluffy rice and salad, complementing the meat beautifully. To cap off the meal, we were treated to a small selection of thank you sweets. These little confections were a sweet and thoughtful end to a fantastic meal, highlighting the restaurant's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, Hilal offers an authentic and memorable dining experience. The combination of delicious food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone craving Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended!

This place has been going for a long time but it's the first time I'd been in here since it was a full service restaurant rather than a carvery. This was for a family meal so adults and kids / roast dinners. The place was busy so there was a bit of a wait on food but that was to be expected. The food was decent. Theyre cheeky in that if you want a full selection of veggies you have to order them as sides so it puts the cost up quite a bit. You do get the basic roast potatoes, carrots & red cabbage though. I also had to order gravy as what had been served was minimalist. Sauces & condiments were ordered and the servers seemed to have too many tables to look after at the same time because we had to ask 2 or 3 times and even then we didnt get everything we ordered :( the dessert was decent. I ordered a miniature apple & rhubarb crumble w custard & ice cream and it was just the right portion size. Someone else in my party ordered the biscoff cheesecake and another ordered the chocolate brownie. There were no complaints! Overall the meal was decent and we had a nice time but it was the service that let it down a bit. I would come back here, but perhaps not on a Sunday lunchtime. Its suitable for all ages. Its also useful they have a free car park adjacent to the venue.

The Bullfinch is a fantastic pub, offering a wide selection of beers and ales. The food is of high quality and absolutely delicious. The pub is spacious, with plenty of tables and a large garden area outside. The staff are attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. They host various themed nights and a popular quiz night, so it's best to book in advance as these events fill up quickly. Also had a birthday recently and Bob and Mandy made it super enjoyable . This pub is a true gem in Sevenoaks—visit them, and you won’t be disappointed.
