The Good Egg Neighbourhood Restaurant Margate — Restaurant in Thanet

The Good Egg lived up to their reputation. My friends and I were all impressed by the flavours and the quality. The menu had a good range of all things. All food came in great portion.

I had green shakshuka (green lentils) which served with pitta bread. It was one of the best shakshukas I've had. I expected it to be smaller based on what I used to have elsewhere so it was really great value. It was super filling. My only comment is the eggs were pretty much cooked through but the flavours were spotted on.

My friends had a fish dish (I forgot the name!) which was like a twist on fish and chips as it was with roasted potatoes. Another friend had aubergine pitta - it was fully loaded with aubergines, pickles and even a jammy egg. She struggled to eat but it looked so good. Hummus and pitta to share - hummus was creamy. I highly recommend. Originally, we wanted to have labneh but it was finished so if I have a chance next time I'd try labneh.

Overall price wasn't the cheapest but coming from London, I think it is fair for what we got (portion, flavours, creativity, and quality). Pretty much London price. We didn't have coffee or drink though.

The staff were friendly, kind, and really nice which added to our experience there. One of them spoke Thai to me once he knew I'm from Thailand. He was so sweet and I appreciated it although I was so surprised (in a good way) I didn't say anything back. Thank you and hope to...

One of four Good Egg/Bagel locations, the original being in London. A mixed experience. The food here was decent, the service is okay, but this café misses the mark overall.

The sabih pita was tasty but cold throughout, its "fudgey" eggs were closer to hard-boiled, and I'm not convinced the pita was not of the factory-made variety. It was £4 to add four small cubes of halloumi to the shakshukah, bringing the total for this tasty but relatively small dish to £17.50. My coffee was served in a cup which was clearly very dirty all around the rim; it was kindly remade without a fuss, but I could see the baristas using their steamwand cloth to wipe down the second cup before serving... Service was fairly slow, though food did come out quickly after ordering. Service wasn't rude, but also not the friendliest, and I was challenged when I asked to have the 12.5% service charge removed.

It's great to see their collaboration with local favourite Northdown brewery, but coffee is from one of the big name London roasteries; it would be nice to see them serving coffee from any of the multitude of top notch...

A popular local breakfast and lunch place. I recently came here with my partner based on her previous positive experience here, and can see why she likes it. We went at around midday on a warm and sunny August Monday and there were only a few tables free. Perhaps you may need to book in advanced on the weekends? The staff that served us were swift, kind and attentive, when we asked to move tables to a recently available one out of direct sunlight, they were more than happy to oblige and cleaned down the table before we sat down. The menu itself has a decent range of food, with unique dishes you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. I went with the gammon dish and my partner one of the pita dishes, and we both very much enjoyed the decently portioned food that arrived. A little pricey, but so has dining out in general, and it's not everyday you go to a place like this so I can let it slide easily. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere a bit different and contemporary to eat, maybe you might wanna call ahead if you decide to go on a...
