Khalid's Kitchen

You'll find Khalid's tucked into Priory Meadow, which honestly isn't where you'd expect to stumble upon some of the best middle eastern food in Hastings. But that's precisely what's happened here. Walk in and you're met with the smell of charred meat, toasted spices, and warm flatbread—the kind of place that feels unpretentious but takes itself seriously about flavour. The menu spans Lebanese and broader Levantine cooking, and everything's made with the kind of care that suggests someone actually knows what they're doing. Whether you're grabbing lunch or settling in for a proper dinner, it's become the kind of spot locals return to regularly, not out of obligation but because the food's genuinely good.
