The Best Restaurants in Bobbing, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Maybe our fourth or fifth time having dinner at this restaurant and we will continue to come back. We chose to come here for my husband’s birthday as it is our favourite place. The food does not compare to any of the Indian restaurants in sittingbourne in our opinion, it is much better quality and so much more flavoursome. The staff are so attentive and really go out of their way to make it an enjoyable evening with very generous drinks and service. If you have not tried this restaurant we really recommend.

We’ve been visiting this curry house regularly & have been meaning to leave a review. Aroma Lounge has become our favourite place to dine in Sittingbourne. What really stands out, though, is the staff. They are always incredibly well mannered & welcoming, making each visit a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, adding & & the food is full of flavour. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I loved my experience here! The food was delicious and affordable - our table was full of food it was just too good. I got anankoli chicken with roti and pilau rice; the menu had a range too for all dietary preferences. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and very classy. Best of all was the lovely, attentive wait staff who even gave me a free drink and beautiful ice cream dessert for my birthday! I would definitely recommend as all of my friends and I loved it and would go back again :)

The customer service and experience here at Aroma Lounge Sittingbourne is truly special. The atmosphere decorations and lighting of the restaurant set it apart from almost all restaurants in this region of Kent. It's like going overseas to sylett itself with how nice and warm and accommodating the restaurant is every time I have visited. Hussain and the gent that always looks after me who I can't thank enough for the consistency and friendliness of my visits here it's a great place for families, groups, working dinners and single travelers like myself to dine and feel at home. Chefs and kitchen staff should be celebrated here as well as food is fantastic and always served with the highest quality of presentation and service. Every dish so far is delicious and perfectly portioned you won't not come back as the service here is very much always customer focused. Been a while leaving this review so forgive the delay but wanted to express how much of a great place Aroma Lounge is and how much it's growing in presence and experience for all guests and how good the staff are here really appreciate you and with the British Raj right next door these are Sittingbournes finest tandoors and other businesses could learn a lot about how these restaurants take care of customers and are actually genuinely welcoming.

Fantastic village pub offering an extensive menu. I always liked visiting this pub; excellent food and it used to have a pub cat. 😻 Back for the first time in a couple of years, we didn’t book and were lucky enough to get last available table in the bar on a Saturday lunchtime. Food menu is extensive and portions are generous. Fantastic steak ciabatta with mushroom pate to start. Very nice. Big onion rings and chips on the side. Big specials menu as well. The beer was Krombacher. Rarely seen but a decent pils. No room for pudding this time, but excellent previously and one to have. Small car park but you can park in nearby streets if full; so not a deal breaker. Whole baked Camembert on the menu. That you like to see. Will have that next time for sure.

Honestly from the moment we walked in we had a very warm welcome from Jade who showed us to our table. Nigel served us and gave us an exceptional service taking our order and serving us drinks. The food was amazing too. Definitely a little hidden gem we found and will come and eat here again. Thank you again to all the staff.

Went for the first time, for Sunday lunch, and had the Roast Beef with vegetables and Yorkshire pudding all of which was cooked to perfection and tasted great. A very relaxed ambient atmosphere with pleasant staff situated in a lovely peaceful village setting

Great pub with good beer and service. Food has always been great. Totally recommend.

We ate here for the first time this evening with friends and was very impressed! Lovely decor, staff were really friendly and very attentive and the food was superb. We were bought a complimentary bread basket for the table, it was fresh and warm and came with a selection of dips and a salad bowl. Our friends ordered a mixed shared starter which looked and smelt amazing and for mains I ordered the lamb chops which came with the option of rice or chips of which I opted for the chips. The lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly and was a good portion size, the chips were really well seasoned and everything was really tasty. The staff were very attentive and made sure everything was ok, including asking us if the temperature in the restaurant was ok which I felt was thoughtful. Everyone at our table was very happy with their meals and we will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend a visit.

So we decided to visit this restaurant after hearing rave reviews in the local newspaper, and the reviews where correct! We had a table reserved for 13:30 in a Saturday afternoon, when we turned up we where greeted by a very attentive staff member that showed us to our table, we where shown to a lovely booth in the window , We opted for a chicken shish and a Turkish pizza, which neither of us had tried before , Before our mains turned up the waiter brought over complimentary bread, large salad and dips, what a nice surprise! Out mains where amazing, super tasty and well presented, one of the best chicken shish I have had! Once we had finished our mains we had two pieces of baklava, which we where informed was homemade and it tasted it , amazing. We will definitely be coming back in the week to try the lunch menu, all in all an amazing Turkish restaurant with attentive staff, Well done Cinar Kitchen 👍😀

We stopped here for lunch today after messy pups play cafe. Really delicious lunch and such good value. £10.90 for two courses! Starters served with fresh salad, bread and sauces! The best calamari that I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot! Amazing service from Sait! Would definitely recommend and would come back next time I’m in Sittingbourne! Thank you!

Wow!! Really awesome staff. Excellent service. Amazing food. Great ambience. The list goes on! My friend had been there four times. I was so happy she recommended Cinar for my sister’s birthday. Thank you for making her birthday a special one. Highly recommend.

Great addition to the town. Only went in for coffee and cake so won't comment on the food. The espresso was good and the chocolate raspberry torte was just right. Service was very good, friendly and quick. Decor is excellent and the whole place has a comfortable feeling. I will be going back to try out some of the menu.

We popped in to Sentado for a breakfast with our dog. There's a good choice on the menu and they do menus for vegans and allergies. The staff are really friendly and helpful and made sure that our dog had water and treats. That time of day, Sentado has a lovely relaxed feel to it and the decor adds to it, with it's repurposed gym floor and big lightshades. The food was delicious and i can recommend the avocado smash with a poached egg on top. I also welcomed the decaff tea with alternative milk. Been here many times and would go back again.

The Team here are amazing! Always friendly polite and very attentive. Every time go there I’m made to feel welcome, it’s always a fantastic start to my day. The food is top quality and very consistent. I want to say a special thank you to Danielle, Becky, Holly and the rest of the team who are always working flat out to ensure that the customer’s expectations and met and exceeded. Great assets to the business.

Unexpectedly beautiful in the evening, candle light dinner with a friend. The candles give for a warm cosy environment which I love. The food came out promptly and was ok for vegan options, I chose to have the 3 tapas style options... Hummus with pitter bread ( not enough bread to dip in my opinion and not toasted, it would of made a bit of a difference if it had been toasted) the beans and kidney beans were tasty and the bang bang coliflour was my favorite with two different sauces. The customer service was good, prompt being a very busy Sat evening. All very young staff but doing their best and producing a very good service considering how busy it was. What I wasn't happy with was the fact that there were not enough staff and so putting the pressure on the 3/4 staff serving for the whole restaurant. I requested that my food was not to be touched as I needed to check my car and half the table got tidied up, along side my chips which I was using to dip my food. It took a while to get service at that point to replace them but over all a really nice experience.

It was a sad occasion, but uplifting and seeing friendly faces. It's a time to catch up and share many memories as Uncle would have wanted.

Beautiful ❤️❤️ can't wait to go back. Staff were kind and food was like nothing I have ever tasted.

Absolutely wonderful, the food was unreal, just beautiful. Staff were all amazing, friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to return!

We regularly visit Ephesus to enjoy a decent quiet meal with and without the kids. The owners are a lovely couple who make you feel so welcome and not rushed like other local restaurants. The food has always been to a real high standard so we always recommend dining here. We have booked here a couple of times for birthdays with a larger group and never had any complaints and my family can be quiet fussy. This year I decided to book for Christmas Day dinner for 24 of us. It can be a concern as you want everything to go perfect and with everyone liking there dinner cooked differently I didn’t want anyone to wish they hadn’t joined us as a couple of the family members were unsure on coming as they like their Christmas dinner at home their way, BUT it could not have been any better. With Christmas crackers on the tables and plenty of options for starters, main and desert for the 3 course meal. Some chose the traditional Turkey roast, some had sirloin steak, mixed grill and some had vegetable moussaka. All cooked perfectly. I don’t remember anyone leaving any of there meals (maybe the kids due to the generous size portions). IT WAS AMAZING. Thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas Day.

Me and my brother and I were looking for somewhere to have some breakfast in Sittingbourne, and I happened to find this restaurant and decided to dine there. We were welcomed by a wonderful gentleman who seated us and took our drinks order. Breakfast was ordered shortly after by a wonderful waitress who was very polite and friendly, the food came really fast and both mine and my brothers food was really, really good, best breakfast I've had in a long time. The atmosphere was really nice and was something that me and my brother commented on. The restaurant is stylish and very clean, I can't comment on the evening experience, but it's something that I'm definitely looking forward to trying. The owner explained that they will be doing Sunday roasts, which will definitely be my next visit. If you're in the area and are looking for somewhere to eat either breakfast, lunch, or dinner, then I highly recommend visiting Ephesus.

Date night here this eve . Very surprised as our first time here. We loved it so much. Lovely food service and the staff working so hard But still time to make you feel welcome We now will make this a place to visit and have booked up for Sunday roast and a party of us for boxing day. We had liver to startvand prawns . Then both had combo grill Lovely food tasty and big portions . Irish coffee and amaretto coffee devine . Thank you

Fantastic food and good prices. The host / owner was very lovely and accommodating, the service was exceptional and stood out to the both of us very much, all day we were saying how great the service was. Atmosphere was chilled, comfy furniture, and very well made cocktails. Overall a 10/10 for Sittingbourne.

Lovely country pub and great food and service! Great value for money !

Superb Roast Beef dinners ...meat beautifully tender roast potatoes, gorgeous and plenty of well cooked veg and home made Chicken n Ham pie also superb ...highly recommended by all 4 of us thank you we hope to return!

Lovely village pub with great range of drinks and delicious good value food. Staff are very welcoming.

Absolutely perfect home cooked food. Strongly recommend the pie of the day as the owners make ot themselves. Limited menu, but that's how you know it's all fresh. Nice garden too.

We had a wonderful meal, great food, lovely staff, good atmosphere. The waitress made a mistake with our order, but dealt with it superbly. The loss of one star is actually for only having one ale on tap. This is a fairly busy pub, one ale is a fairly poor show.

We booked for my daughter’s 26th Birthday. 14 adults and 2 toddlers. We Would all definitely highly recommend. Well organised, very friendly , accommodating, helpful staff. The food was amazing, we were stuffed by the end of the evening. They even put candles on the cake when I’d forgotten without asking, very thoughtful. We’re planning our next visit already. Thank you all.

I booked this pub/restaurant on the hoof as I was attending a conference with colleagues from Germany, Holland, Poland & France in Sittingbourne and wanted my team mates to experience a typical country pub. The Sun Inn did not disappoint. The staff were incredible, patient and extremely courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was fresh, very tasty and typically English, my colleagues left in a very good mood. Karen, Kim and the team were fantastic, I will return!!!

We had our wedding reception at this gorgeous pub yesterday afternoon and they were fantastic! Lou and the whole team were amazing and we can’t thank them enough! Massive thank you to Lou herself for helping us set it all up the night before, the place looked amazing! The food there is beautiful especially the pies!! Will definitely be back every anniversary and plenty more times in between!! Thank you so much for everything 💜💜💜💜💜

What lovely people, the food is qmazing and great value for money! Would recommend the steak it is probably the best steak i have ever eaten. I qm on the keto diet and malc knew exactly what i could qnd couldnt wat and made sure i got a full dinner.

Just wish we'd discovered the Three Hats before! Lovely friendly family pub, great hosts and excellent food. Best chilli burger I've had as well as the cheesy chilli chips my wife had. We sat in the good sized beer garden which was very pleasant although it does look in need of a bit of a refresh! Didn't put us off though Sat in a lot worse and we will definitely be coming back very soon. The 20-25 minutes walk there for us is definitely worth it 😀

The Best Sunday Roast in Town! Tried a beautiful beef roast with all the trimmings today, everything was fresh, delicious and cooked to perfection! Lively pub, dog friendly, has a large beer garden at the back, lovely staff and great service! Highest marks on food plus it's 50% off all food Mon-Fri which is just what everyone needs before Christmas! Highly recommended and buckets of wine available!!! ☆☆☆☆☆

An amazing family pub. Been going here for 9 years with my family, including my son who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 6. Best food, best atmosphere, genuinely lovely staff and would recommend to all. Loving the food offers they do midweek, really helps out the local Milton and Sittingbourne community. Support local. They even do delivery!!

I've not been here is about 12 years but it has changed so much - all for the better. The food was really good, big portion sizes, beer was crisp and clean and the staff were friendly and couldn't be more helpful.

Lovely pub and amazing welcoming staff we never got food today but will definitely be going back to try there delicious looking Sunday roast dinner

Haven't been here for years was very pleasantly surprised how nice it is now. Really friendly helpful staff and gorgeous food. Will definitely be coming back 😊
