SUNSHINE MEZE, BBQ, WINE & COCKTAIL BAR — Restaurant in Folkestone and Hythe District

First time customer and yes I would return. Overall a very enjoyable night, we all skipped starters and ordered just from the main menu. Wait to be seated was instantaneous, (we had booked). Drinks were taken very quickly and arrived around 5 minutes later by a couple of waiting staff. Food orders were taken quickly also and the wait was around 40 minutes. (I don't think it helps that they also do take out as the place for a Saturday night wasn't that busy in the restaurant itself). However, the surrounds and decor was nice, friendly atmosphere and you could see into the kitchen, (as the photos show). When the food did come, again it was brought by three different people at different times, between the first arriving and the last, approximately four minutes had passed, bit strange they didn't arrive all that the same time. The mixed grill had chicken missing which they informed us of when the plate was placed, again annoying as it took a further 10 minutes to come to the table. Also all the food was served on cold plates which was a shame. The knives also were blunt, so much so we struggled to cut a tomato! If the food had arrived at the same time, plates were warm and the knives sharp we would have given it five star. Although there were issues, no doubting the food which was really good quality and very tasty all being well seasoned. Staff were really friendly and the guy doing the cocktails very amusing :) Certainly visit again in the future, just hope they address...

Ate here with my wife and two kids on a Sunday in Summer 2023.

My son and I shared a meat platter. This was £45 and disappointing for the money you pay. The lamb is ok but a bit tasteless. The same with the chicken chunks but there's not many of them. What I don't expect on a pricey meat platter is a load of chicken wings. They're cheap and also a bit tasteless. The rice and bulgar wheat that came with it was the same. I wouldn't give this more than a 6/10.

My wife had something called an Iskander which is chicken and yoghurt and tomato sauce on a bed of pitta bread. She enjoyed this and said it was an 8/10.

My youngest is extremely fussy and just had halloumi and chips.

The tastiest thing about the meal for me was actually the bread and sauce they brought out initially!

The service wasn't brilliant. We were the only people in there initially and had to press a buzzer to get someone's attention! Then it took a while for someone to come. The lad was friendly enough but lacked a bit of experience maybe.

The meal came to a few pence shy of £100 and for that price I wasn't impressed. Don't think I'd...

Won't use this place ever again. Made a booking her for 25 people for a hen do meal, booked it 3 months in advance to be called 3 weeks before and told they wanted £250 deposit and they only have 1h 30mins stay to eat and leave.told the manager James i believe he was called we wont be useing you because of these late demands and pointing out he has lost £1500 what with food and cocktails and was told so what we will re book them with other people we won't lose out. Absolutely disgusting customer service and to think I have spent many nights here spending £200 a night on cocktails. NEVER AGAIN FYI the response given from the restaurant is lies it was 25 not 20 and you did say 1 hour 30mins if you wanted a deposit you should of asked 3 months ago. I called to confirm and you made out u knew nothing about it and hit me with all these demands. Go on tell me...
