Wow- what a find!! The lady serving was super friendly and chatty. Coffee was a decent price and really good quality. We took away but the cafe was spotlessly clean and busy which is always a good sign!! We'll definitely be returning!!

I booked this restaurant for my husbands birthday. The booking system was easy and online. We arrived and were greeted immediately by a friendly waitress. The menu is extensive and very appealing with so much choice. There are also MANY gluten free options which I often look out for as my mum is coeliac - so I have already recommended this restaurant to her; especially as when the waitress took our order she asked whether either of us had allergies. The food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be returning and recommending to others. Thank you

As a singer and entertainer, I have to say this is one of my favourite spots to sing. The team are like a big family especially managed by Bianca. The food is always fresh and traditionally Turkish but with a special personal influence making it tasty and flavour some. The venue is safe because they have security to keep everyone secure, and the music and atmosphere is Second to none in Tunbridge Wells!

Went there with my partner and had the Fish from the tasting menu. Would absolutely recommend, the food was fantastic and very filling. Cocktails were excellent (I had the Hurricane), staff was super friendly and nice, the vibe was also really nice.

Don't think twice, Rocca never fails! The food is absolutely delicious, all fresh produce and generous portions! Grilled seabass was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside. Tiger prawns incredibly succulent, bursting with flavours. Stuffed aubergine (Imam Bayildi) is a great starter, but do also try one of the hot or cold starters to share, so rich in flavours & herbs. Salads were crisp, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service is impeccable! We were warmly welcomed by friendly Bianca, whose bright smile lights up the room. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with lovely decor that makes this venue a perfect choice for special occasions. We can't recommend Rocca highly enough! We love both restaurants in East Grinstead & Tunbridge Wells. Hands down to the owner Ahmad who pours his heart & soul into this business.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Have been here a few times now and have no complaints at all. Food is Mediterranean style, I have had a few dishes and all have been really nice and good servings for the price. The staff are really friendly and happy to help. There is regular live music from a few different regular performers, all have been good fun with a range of music. Upstairs on a Thursday night is a bar with a DJ, I think it's over 21's only. Definitely worth a look.

Great experience! Cannot fault a thing. This is the second time me and my boyfriend have been to this restaurant and both times have been great. As this occasion was valentines we were given a set menu but even this menu had lots of options and dietary considerations. In general this restaurant is incredible for food and drink options, you will find something and the amount of food you get for the price and quality, we actually managed to take some home. Staff are also great, with special thanks to our waiter Luke who made sure we were happy throughout the meal, very positive staff who also love the restaurant speaks volumes about the quality of a restaurant. 100% would recommend!
