    First of all easy and complete booking service through OpenTable. Nice welcome to the restaurant , the service was great, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was lively without being overpowering and it just felt good. The food was really tasty, presented well and portions were ample. I would be happy to return and I would be happy to recommend the restaurant.

    The lift was fun. We were seated in a big sofa facing the window with an incredible view of the Cathedral and the rooftops of Canterbury. The waitress asked if we wanted the children's menu, but we said "no thank you" and we ordered our food and drinks from the brunch menu. Abby's burger was so big she could hardly hold it let alone eat it, but she managed it. Hazel and Poppy's fish and chips were so big it probably broke EU fishing quota regulations. We all loved the food , the staff were brilliant and all agreed that the assistant manager was the best looking in Canterbury. We all want to come again.

    Been wanting to try Sekkoya for a while as photo’s looked amazing. Must say was absolutely blown away, the interior, vibe, music was amazing so much attention to detail and creative interiors make it a fun place to be. Drink menus were imaginative and fun and both our cocktail and mocktails were 10/10. Service was very slick and fast with drinks coming out super efficiently and food shortly after the food was brilliant, delicious, filling and also really reasonable for the quality that you get. Was a busy Friday for Christmas lead up and had a live ask which added to the atmosphere. Manager was onsite and checking on tables and friendly. Honestly had a brilliant evening and can’t rate it highly enough. Will be recommending to all our friends. Thanks for all your hard work, the effort really showed and we had a great time. Feel like a similar experience in London would be twice the price. So they definitely tick the affordable mark for such a great product too. Keep up the great work 🫶🏻
