The 30 Best Restaurant dining options in Dartford

“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.”

“Thank you. The food was absolutely delicious nothing will disappoint you. The staff was fantastic brilliant service and the head chef. This is the best turkish restaurant. I would differently recommend my family and friends to come to this place to eat. Thank you once again and see you again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My favourite Haddock in Dartford. Food is always fresh and piping hot when ordered for eat in. Good quality food and also very friendly staff”

“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.”

“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.”

“Easily the best fish and chips in the area, fish is made fresh to order and value for money”

“We ordered a takeaway roast at the weekend and it was the best decision we've made! Lol. It was absolutely fabulous and one of the best roasts I've had in a long time. We were so grateful to be able to take it away and enjoy it whilst our toddler was napping. The member of staff we spoke to on the phone was so kind and helpful. We collected our roast with no problems and just about had a big enough plate to put it on as the portion size was fantastic. The whole roast was spot on - lovely turkey/beef, tasty veg and cauliflower cheese. Thank you so much. We'll definitely be ordering again and happy new year! It was so good I nearly cried hahaha.”

“I had the pleasure of trying the tortilla , and it truly exceeded my expectations! The tortilla was cooked to perfection — tender and fluffy with an ideal balance of flavors. The filling was fresh and flavorful, with just the right blend of ingredients that complemented each other beautifully. The presentation was inviting, and the portion size was generous, making it very satisfying. Beyond the food, the staff were welcoming and attentive, creating a warm and enjoyable dining atmosphere. If you’re a fan of authentic and delicious tortillas, I highly recommend visiting”

“Well cooked food of a good variety. Excellent service the waitresses always have a smile on their faces”

“Had the festive menu and the food took a little longer than expected but Charlee was fab at updating us and ensuring we were comfortable and if we needed anything else. We were sat in the conservatory which was cold and the food took longer than necessary but the food was adequate. Made better only by the millionaires fodue dessert.”

“We had a lovely evening for my son’s 25th birthday. Our table for 6 was set up by the window as requested. From the moment we arrived we had a warm welcome and service levels were excellent. My sons lamb shank madras was in his words “probably the best meal he has ever had” (highly recommended ) if you are not sure about what to have the family owners will always suggest a dish to try, even making bespoke dishes too. The icing on the cake is you can bring your own alcoholic drinks with no corkage added, they even put them in the fridge for you and bring the glasses.”

“Only got a take away , it looked like nearly every table was full , which says something , the food was lovely and the staff really friendly.”
