Quick info
About Maria's Kitchen
On Station Rd in Birchington, Maria's Kitchen is a cafe whose menu pairs traditional Greek dishes with vegetarian and vegan options. Moussaka and chicken platters are recurring orders, alongside pesto avocado and sun-dried tomato on toast for a lighter plate. Lattes and coffee run alongside the food menu, and chocolate orange cake appears regularly, available to take out as well as to eat in. A separate menu comes out for the evening, distinct from the lunch service. The cafe is a family business, and a wall display tells its history. It takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and opens Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays.

“Stumbled across Maria’s kitchen, so so delicious with so many vegetarian and vegan dishes. Lovely atmosphere of a family business. Would recommend pesto avacado and sun-dried tomato on toast but there are so many tasty looking options we didn’t get to try!”

“Walking along Highstreet for the first time we decided to pop into Maria’s for a cuppa. What a gem we have stumbled into! Lattes were perfect and the orange cake was something decadent my great gran would have made. The menu looked great. …”

“Delicious authentic greek food took me back to when I was on holiday in Greece! Some of my favourite food ever and it was sooo tasty! It's a family business as well and the staff are so lovely. So many delicious choices and desserts, I can't wait to go back! I highly recommend to anyone, they definitely have food options to suit all as well as traditional greek dishes, my mum and I loved it! We had lunch this time but will be going back for dinner!”

“We love Maria's Kitchen. We've been regulars for a year now, but have only enjoyed their evening menu to date. The food is delicious - and always so fresh. The service is always excellent too. We have also taken out cakes to share with friends and these have always been so good, with friends asking where we have got them from - my fave being the chocolate orange cake! Maria's Kitchen is a great asset in the heart of our village - we're so glad it's there!”
- Jane Heenan
“Really liked this place. There was a story on the wall which told their story. Food was good. I had moussaka unfortunately forgot to take a picture. My friends all had chicken platters and cleared their plates.”
