“I had breakfast here on a busy Saturday. I asked to sit in for a couple of hours whilst my wife, daughter and her friends shopped as a birthday treat. The manager (Nadine) found me a quiet table in the corner with a nearby power supply as I mentioned I wanted to do some work. They genuinely couldn’t have been any more helpful and I didn’t feel any pressure to vacate the table at any point. All the staff (including Abbie & Rahmi) who looked after me were great, can’t thank them enough.”

“A hidden gem! The food was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavours and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the staff — incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It didn’t feel like dining out, it felt like visiting friends.”

“We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious: every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Our server, Gail was incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel truly welcome from start to finish. What made the evening even more special was the thoughtful surprise: they went out of their way to prepare on our lovely dessert, a special anniversary decoration. It meant so much to us and made the celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend for both the food and the exceptional service!”

“We have eaten here a number of times but only take delivery so it was great to get the opportunity to go in for a chance. It didn't disappoint at all. The food was really good and we look forward to returning.”

“Best Indian food in the SE London. I've been ordering form this place for over 9 years now. It is so good, i drive 40 min to collect it as no longer living in the area. They are really generous with spices and everything is delicious. Chicken Tikka Madras, Paneer Tikka and all the veg side dishes... not forgetting the Peshawar naans. My mouth is watering even just writing this.”

“Exceptional service and so accommodating, allowed a balloon set up in the afternoon prior to the evening booking and was not rushed at all. Food & service was great and nothing was any trouble, the manager really went the extra mile also the lady who seemed to be head of service. Such a great team and made our evening so pleasant and enjoyable. Thank you so much. We will be returning and also will be introducing our friends and family to your Resturant. Thank you again x”

“This was my first visit here, the service was first class and the restaurant spacious, clean and tidy. All members of staff were polite and couldn't be more helpful. The food tasted excellent and was good size portions with large and tender chicken pieces. All the flavours cane through really well. I totally enjoyed the visit. Sadek is doing a fantastic job running the establishment, well done, keep up the good work! Both female waitresses were extremely polite and quick providing a first class service. I will definitely visit again when I'm next in the Dartford area. Highly recommend, 10/10.”

“The food here is fabulous! I'm a great lover of South Indian and Sri Lankan food and it's outstanding here. The staff are lovely too. I come here whenever I can.”

Also a shout out to his helper elf she was a lovely lady and took loads of pictures for us to capture the memory.. as always a lovely meal and servers were great especially with the rush!”

“Really nice weekend away here. The rooms are nice and spacious. Location is really nice, about 10-15 mins drive to bluewater shopping center & lakeside shopping center - so plenty to do for couples/family. The swimming pool/jacuzzi and sauna was really nice, we enjoyed going down for a swim when it wasn't too busy. We did go on a weekend so it was quite busy at times. Room service & bar was nice. Overall the room loses one star personally because the lighting was a bit dark and the bed quite firm. Everything else was perfect during our stay.”

“Our experience at Mercure Dartford Brands Hatch Hotel and Spa was amazing! Our room was of their new ones which was beautifully made, it had all the essentials you would require for your stay, and our beds were very comfortable. My husband, daughter and I had booked in for the Ishga massages at their spa and the masseurs were truly skilled. My masseur, Joy, was great and asked what type of pressure I liked and she was very talented. I was completely relaxed and refreshed at the end of it. My family gave me good feedback about the other 2 girls as well, I'm sorry I don't remember your names, I wanted to say thank you! Will definitely be back!”

“Pizza Hut service is generally efficient, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. My family and I love the way they prepare their food. The quality remains reliable. It is the kind of place where you know exactly what you are getting. Our last visit to the one in Bluewater was in August 2019, as it was the choice for a casual meal with the family. Staff were attentive, and polite, the place was clean and tidy, the food was hot and delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxing. We had a truly elevated experience.”

“Every time I visit this restaurant the staff are very polite. The moi, moi is exceptional and the meat pies out of this world. 5 out of 5.”

“Value for money, have stayed twice in recent months as a stop en route Eurotunnel and will stay again. Rooms appear recently redecorated/carpeted. Comfortable bed. Strong shower and decent towels. Friendly welcome at reception. Dog friendly. Easy 10-15 minutes walk to the Wharf, good bar/restaurant.”

“It's a really nice hotel/restaurant. The rooms are very neat and comfortable and the environment is Serene. A must visit.”

“The staff are friendly and the food amazing.”

“We have had multiple early pregnancy scans, wellbeing and 4d and they have honestly been the most specious and memorable experiences we have had. He gave us the reassurance we needed. He also made me feel so comfortable and went above and beyond to answer my 18393872 questions with happiness. I will be going there for all future appointments and highly recommend him to everyone. I have also went to 3 other private scans in different locations and they just do not compare!!! Thank you so much”

“Outstanding food and service. Excellent hot, tasty food, served quick and in a friendly manner. I will certainly call here when next in business in Dartford. Highly recommend, 10/10.”

“Food was Amazing!!! Portion Sizes were great for the price and the staff was very kind and the atmosphere was very welcoming.”

“Happy to make changes like putting some meat separate and some in a pitta which is really useful, when they are flexible about how the food is given to you and they aren't precious about a set menu. Only thing I'd point out to them is to make sure to use a set of tongs to turn the raw chicken skewers over, and once this is cooked on the outside, move to a different part of the grill and finish it off, by using another pair of tongs. You'd avoid any chance of cross contamination this way. Same goes for the pittas and wraps being warmed up - use another clean pair of tongs to avoid customers having second thoughts about their stomachs getting through the night ok..”

“I’ve come here once before and I loved it, Came back after a long while and now I love it even more! The servers are really nice and our waiter Ja was even humorous^^, however the food and the vibes AMAZING!!! I don’t go out often but whenever I do i’ll always thing of this restaurant first :]”
