I sincerely recommend this Polish restaurant, you can eat delicious, traditional Polish cuisine here. the place itself is very friendly and has a nice, homely atmosphere. The portions are really large and the prices are affordable, you can't leave this restaurant hungry. We will definitely come back here again

We have been here so many times and each time it is a great experience! We always say “It’s the best Polish bistro in town”. The value is amazing, food so good (try the vegetarian pierogi) and Slava and Andrew are great hosts. There’s so many regulars and a really friendly atmosphere.

I've been here several times now over the last couple of years. Slava and her husband are really lovely. She is more front off house and I guess he cooks, but I think she makes most of the cakes, although I may be wrong. It looks tiny from the outside but has a garden out back. The food is really delicious, and wear a belt that you can unfasten as the portions are generous and the price is very good for what you get. You can tell everything is really fresh, as Slava will tell you how many of each item she has, and I love that. Polish people travel far to go there for traditional dishes so that is always a good sign. If you like alcohol with your meal you can bring your own and pay a cork charge. I would highly recommend and leave you with a couple of photos from my Sunday lunch Tried the all day breakfast today (04/09/24) amazing. Filling and really tasty, I don't know how they can do it for £6.50

We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Engel’s Paradise in Deal. From the moment we arrived, the hosting was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was simply delicious, all freshly made in-house with incredible flavors. You can tell the care and passion that goes into every dish. As a family with a baby, we were particularly touched by the thoughtfulness in providing a swing for our little one, making it a truly enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the evening felt like a real treat. We can’t recommend Engel’s Paradise enough and look forward to coming back!

We have passed by a few times but did not realise it is dog friendly. Glad I stopped by and asked. The starters were roasted goats cheese with beetroot and pes shoots and pulled brisket tacos, we shared and both were very good indeed. Main courses were herb crusted roast cod for me. It was served on new potato mash and was a really nice dish. My husband had the buttermilk chicken and that looked perfect too, he said it was great. No room for dessert, maybe next time. The place is lovely, lots of art everywhere and it is for sale. The staff were lovely, friendly and did a good job of making sure we had a great evening.

We came here for a special occasion and were really pleased by the service. There were lovely touches recognising the special occasion when we arrived and this was much appreciated. The food was excellent and there is a good selection of wines, including lots of great English wines. Very happy to recommend this restaurant.

Very good restaurant in Deal. Menu is interesting with non banal meat and fish preparations. Food is well prepared and tasty. Exciting selection of wines also by the glass, including many from England. Friendly service. Recommended!

Had very tasty meal here, food was very good! Did not realise that they had second floor in the restaurant as well! Friendly staff, only downside was that being seated upstairs, all people left early and we were only people left upstairs and seems like staff sort of forgot about us. But overall good experience and tasty food, would like seat next time downstairs. Would go back again.

🍻 A Taste of Oktoberfest at Taphouse Beer Cafe! 🍻 If you’re looking for authentic Oktoberfest vibes, Taphouse Beer Cafe is the place to be! Their festive grub was absolutely top-notch, from the mouthwatering bratwursts, perfectly paired with an impressive selection of beers. The pretzel was soft and salty, just the way it should be, and the mustard was perfect. Service was spot on.

Lovely craft beer pub/bar right in the middle of Deal. Thean behind the bar was really friendly and made some good recommendations. Plenty of seating inside and out, and dog friendly too!
Rating: 5 / 5
A really nice bar that is eclectically decorated and concentrates on craft ale, pizza and music. Both the ale and the pizza were excellent (the pizzas are named after now defunct pubs of Deal). There is also a large selection of low alcohol or non alcoholic beers, so no excuse not to make the journey.

Lovely pub, very busy, good ale. Visited twice, whilst on a break. Major busy as football was being shown. Had an amazing Sunday roast, one of the best I've ever had. Roast beef, as everything else was sold out, but that's to be expected as it was gone five. You can't tip by card as the don't accept tips by card, only cash. Staff were bright, fun and engaging.

Been here many times. Great open square that overlooks the sea. It is shared with another pub/restaurant which gives two choices of menu. The kitchen works very hard to get good food out as fast as they can. Today was very busy and they still served us within 40 mins - the staff told me before they took the order, so no dramas! Had a long beer watching the world go by whilst waiting. Also gazed at all the other food choices as each table was served - they all look great. Ours was the standard seaside fare of fish and chips. Fat and juicy fish, triple cooked chunky chips and loads of oetis pois; and the King's Head burger - a great portion fries, good quality bap and very large burger (other half struggled 🤣). Good service by the team. We will return.

There is nothing about this bar/hotel that doesn’t warrant five stars. The food, the location, the service and the atmosphere was all on point. Can’t wait to visit again. Special shout out to Aaron and Izzy, those two don’t stop!

We discovered this little gem in Deal to celebrate our anniversary. The outside of the pub is beautiful with colourful flowers and it’s really inviting. We were greeted by a lovely young guy who helped us to check in and even offered to take our bags for us as we would be staying in room 7 at the top of the hotel. We had a lovely spacious room with en suite. It has a spectacular view of the pier. I’ve only given it a 4 (please bear in mind we loved our room these are just tips to make the room a 5). One of the lamps in our room wasn’t working, which we reported to one of the staff at the bar, but what would be so helpful would be a couple of USB sockets in the room. We forgot our chargers so weren’t able to charge our phones (obviously our fault entirely) but maybe something to think about for future guests. The breakfast was lovely, fresh and hot. All of the staff were amazing, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to somewhere where everyone was simply kind, friendly and helpful, they are a credit to you. Thank you for making our stay a really enjoyable one. We’ll definitely be back and we’ll definitely recommend you to anyone who asks.

We had a lovely stay overnight at the little chalet after arriving by ferry from Dover. Sholden is just a short drive away and the Sportsman has private parking, which was perfect. The room was furnished comfortably and we slept very well. Everything was clean and fresh linen and towels as well as some toiletries and tea were provided. The adjacent pub seemed lovely and seemed to host a trivia night when we arrived, unfortunately we were just too tired from the trip to join. There are corn fields just a few minutes away, which was perfect for walking our dog in the morning.

Lovely roast beef 😋 staff are very attentive, but watch out when ordering a bottle of wine. Make sure you make it clear that you are after a full-size bottle and not a small glass size one .

Often visit with the family for food and drinks when we are in the area. Today’s visit was just as good as always. Food was delicious - especially the new fish burger and the hot chocolate fudge cake! The teams hospitality are second to none and couldn’t recommend the pub more!!

Great friendly pub with accommodation. Rooms clean and tidy, staff extremely friendly, local pub with a family atmosphere and varied drink and food options. Very well prepared and served food for "pub grub" and a Sunday Roast. Prices very reasonable for the service, would recommend and will definitely use again for a weekend stay.

We were lucky to be squeezed in on a bank holiday Sunday. The food was wonderful. I’m not a vegan anymore but have to avoid dairy. This lovely little restaurant caters for everyone. My vegan pizza was heaven. The faux cheese, absolutely amazing 💯

Can't rate this restaurant any higher than 5 but the food was fabulous. If you go to Deal, this is a must visit restaurant if you love Italian cuisine. Everything we had was delicious and reasonably priced with wine. Can definitely recommend the spinach and ricotta cannelloni.

My partner and I made a reservation last week, and have to say probably one of the nicest meals we’ve had out in a while! Really affordable prices, a great atmosphere and such lovely fresh food. We both had bruschetta and pizza, couldn’t fault neither. The skin on fries came lovely and seasoned too… the staff couldn’t have done enough to accommodate us. No surprise that the place didn’t have a single empty table this evening. We will definitely be booking again soon!

Very rare to find an Italian style family restaurant outside of Italy. But this is one, and a very good one too. We started with the sharing board and there was plenty , various meats, four very good cheeses, sun dried tomatoes, olives and various pickles. We also shared a seafood pizza. It was beautifully crisp with clams,mussels, prawns and squid on a tomato base, a bit suprised there was cheese too but it worked well. We also had a handmade pasta dish each. Mine was tortoloni with black truffles and burratta, it was wonderful. My husband carried on with a seafood spaghetti dish. It looked and tasted great. By this time we were too full for the very attractive desserts, but we will be back to try them. The place is quite small and booking is essential. But there is a lovely atmosphere and we had a table at the front so we could see the sea . The staff were faultless and worked very hard to ensure everything was perfect. We both loved Margheritas, it is well worth a visit.

We were a table 7 and a toddler. We were served promptly by our lovely waiter vlad who was very helpful and a great knowledge on the menu. We had starters and mains and there was empty plates all round. All our food came together. We took puddings home which were also so good. Lovely family restaurant. We will definitely be returning. Well done margaritas what a great team you have 👏👏👏

Lovely place. We went for a Sunday roast and really enjoyed the food, including the complimentary bit of mushrooms soup- delicious. We were given a recommendation to try the pork and it was fabulous. Lamb was also nice but is pulled lamb rather than the piece of meat. Vegetables were varied and tasty but roast potatoes were dry. Desserts were great, in particular the cheesecake with butterscotch sauce. Friendly service.

This is a great place to come to in Deal. We have been 3 times in 5 days and it is very good indeed. The staff are very friendly and professional. When I mentioned I love Halibut but usually find it sold out. They specially kept some for our next visit on Sunday. It was fantastic as was all our food there.

Update from a regular diner but not a local that happily travels for this delicious food. Personally I'd say this is the best restaurant in deal! Forgot the 2 along the sea front that get so much praise! This is definitely one of my preferred top restaurants to dine in. I've been here twice for Christmas day meals which was excellent and regularly visit from London. I love the option of a live vocalist entertainer on a Sunday evenings. Staff polite, attentive and professional. Both the owner and management (Del) are a delightful presents in the restaurant.

My recent visit to Deal Street Kitchen was nothing short of splendid. Nestled in a charming location, the restaurant boasts not only fabulous views but also an inviting atmosphere. The staff were absolutely delightful—attentive, warm, and professional, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was catered to with grace and ease. The food, of course, was exquisite—each dish brimming with flavour and thoughtfully curated. My only minor quibble was that, for the price, I had expected a touch more finesse in the presentation of my dish. That said, it in no way detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal. I am already eagerly anticipating my next visit. Without a doubt, Deal Street Kitchen is a wonderful dining spot that I highly recommend!

Staying in the area for the weekend and after seeing the reviews and recommendations from friends of friends, we opted for Pier Kitchen for a late lunch. They also allow dogs in, so it was a no brainer. Let me say, we were not disappointed in the locations, the staff, who were superb and the food. We highly recommend the lobster & Crab roll.

You must visit this cafe. When I saw reviews saying 'best breakfast ever' I was sure it was an exaggeration. It wasn't. Friendly service, a menu full of very tasty options, my whole table was very impressed with the taste, presentation and portion size of their brunch.

Great little place. Had low expectations of an “end-of-pier cafe” but this is excellent. Had the Lobster and Crayfish Benedict which was delicious. Good coffee and great service in this modern cafe with wonderful sea views. Dogs welcome and good for families too.

An absolute 5 star experience! 81 Beach Street was our first meal out on our trip to Deal from India, and it absolutely did not disappoint. We loved the food so much, we ate here twice!

Arrived at this friendly, intimate place after a long drive from Hampshire. We were so impressed with the knowledgeable, hands on service and the quality of the food. The sea bass and catch of the day were perfectly cooked. My son's steak was the exact temperature. It was so amazing to have the ability to eat as well as relax after our journey in the more than capable hands of the staff here at 81 Beach Street. Divine!

My favourite restaurant in Deal. The food is always amazing and tasty, the staff are like family, so friendly and always have a smile for you. Love it here and always come to Bangkok Pavillion for special meals and evenings. We had mains, desserts and drinks/shots each persons bill was roughly £40-50!

If you are in Deal, you must visit Bangkok Pavilion. If not for the amazing food, then to meet the restaurant owner. A family owned business full of atmospheric delightful authentic decorative feel. The Thai owner was our host, and i found him warm welcoming and funny character. This establishment is His passion, and it shows with his engagement with his customers. I ordered the prawns and broccoli with coconut rice and a Bingha beer. The aroma as the food was served made me want to get stuck in. But i had to take a few photos first. A really nice restaurant, a friendly atmosphere, well worth a visit. Highly recommended !! BOOK IN ADVANCE to secure a table, especially over the weekend.

It was so lovely, speedy service, incredible food and we had such a lovely man serving us, always bringing us more water and updating us on the euros! Such a lovely man and the food was incredible. Very tasty, good atmosphere and lovely presentation of the food. Large selection of drinks , starters, mains and deserts and everything was so lovely. 10/10 honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been too!! And they offer take away service for leftovers! Really enjoyed it!! Also for what it’s worth we went as a group of 4 teens and they wern’t judging us or watching our every move as a lot of restaurant do. Best food in deal!!
