Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We live in the area and must have been to East West more than 20 times and always take family when they are visiting. The food is delicious, every dish, every time! Hosts John and Hazel are lovely people. Boy does she know taste! Whatever...you order it arrives with the freshest ingredients and packed with flavour. It reminds us so much of Thailand. Simple clean decor, because it's all about the food. Very highly recommended.More

We returned to eat at East and West Kitchen after our last visit 4 years ago. Covid has a lot to answer for! The restaurant has had facelift but John and his wife remain the same welcoming hosts. The service was excellent and our menu...choices were prepared to order. The food was extremely tasty with a good level of spiciness. My husband really enjoyed the Tom Yum soup and we both thought the Massaman Curry with beef was a great dish. We will return to this delightful restaurant whilst we are staying in Calahonda.More

We didn’t book but popped in on the off chance after hearing great reviews. There was a big group in so we were expecting a bit of a delay (small kitchen!) but it was fine. Delicious food, good portion sizes and friendly host. We’ll definitely...return, loved everything about it. We had prawn tempura, chicken spring roll, beef massaman curry, a chicken stir-fry and egg fried rice. All really tasty.More

I snuck out for a bite. Couldn't make up my mind .so it was just after 6 and this place was open . I popped in for a cheeky meal felt guilty so got a cheekily takeaway. Penang chicken with rice. Lovely .. no wonder...they are in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide. And no1 in calahonda.. Best Thai by far no frills but good grub great service.eccentric boss looks like rod Stewart. Enjoy you visit. Ab fabMore

We had read lots of good reviews and decided to try this restaurant ourselves.made to feel welcome and introduced to Johnny their very charming son. We ordered and got the correct drinks and asked about different starters. Decided to share a satay chicken skewer. Then...massaman curry and another curry for mains. The starter never appeared and no massaman. Just a chicken curry for me.Can’t remember what type my friend ordered. I will however visit again but that night we were the only customers indoors ,so don’t understand how they got it so wrong.More

I've had a takeaway once before which was excellent. Last night we got back to Spain from the UK, flights delayed and we pulled up to East and West at 10.30 pm and they very kindly allowed us to order after the kitchen was closed....The food was delicious and extremely authentic and unbelievably reasonable for the quality you are getting. I'm looking forward to eating there againMore

The spicy pork ribs were well-spiced, but there was almost no meat on them. Given the uber-casual atmosphere and the prices, we won't be back.

Another excellent meal at East & West Kitchen. Freshly prepared by Hazel who will adjust the spice level to your taste. We visit about once a week, and the menu is so familiar, we know it off by heart. We share cheesecake for dessert which...is fabulous.More
