The outdoor deck was a wonderful setting that made me feel like I was on vacation. The lunch was delicious, especially the halloumi salad which was the best I've ever had. My son was able to find something to his liking as well. The service was quick and friendly, and they were willing to accommodate any requests. There was a wide selection of food and drinks at good prices, reflecting the quantity and quality. I highly recommend this as the best place to eat in Otford.

I booked a table for 10 people to eat at Hilal. Unfortunately, it 's a season where people get ill so sadly few people cancelled. I contacted the restaurant on the day before our dinner that it will be less of us and they messaged me back that it 's totally fine. Hiya! That 's absolutely fine, thanks for letting me know See you tomorrow. Then on the day, another person dropped out. It 's totally not my fault that people get ill, but I was told off like a little kid by the restaurant owner as soon as we walked through the door. He said: Your people are dropping off day by day but he said it in a very nasty way. His waitress was totally clueless, she had no clue what soup of the day was and if they serve mocktails. Not a single smile for anyone the whole evening. The owner started clearing up our places before we even finished at around 6:30pm. Then when it came to paying, he said Don 't forget to pay for the service charge . I go out a lot and this is the first time someone reminded me to pay service charge, we always pay it if the service is right. I started a conversation with him about the poor service and he became very argumentative. He mentioned less of us arriving, he asked me where am I from, he stated one person only ordered a started (yes she did but she ordered 3 starters which are more expensive than one main), he told us we are still sitting there at 6:30pm and he closes at 7pm etc. I don 't understand this kind of behavior, I think he was simply rude and all he cared about was how much money he will make and how quickly to get rid of us. Bearing in mind, nobody else was in the restaurant and he still made some good money on us. When Covid hit restaurants were crying for customers, now they have them and they treat them so badly. I won 't be coming to this place again. I will wait until Otford Bull Inn reopens their kitchen and I will bring my regular group of 15 people over to the Bull as we are always treated there very nicely. Shame on you!
