My favourite hide away on a Sunday. Their food is unmatched in quality, freshness and menu originality. Today I opted for the Beef Brisket Croquette and I was reminded just why I like this place so much. "Culinary Heaven"

A new little gem in Broadstairs! Fresh, tasty food made in house by a guy who clearly loves his food and knows his stuff! With a super chill atmosphere but excellent service, Little Wave is a welcome addition covering veggie and gluten free options in addition to delicious sausage rolls, cookies and cakes. The Persian Love cake is a must!

A really wonderful little place! We shared a meze box and had the croquettes, and it was really filling, delicious and a great selection of different things to try. The croquettes were the star for us. So much so we came back a second time and had exactly the same! A fab addition to Broadstairs and we hope to be back each time we visit, which unfortunately isn't often enough!

Quick morning visit to grab a bite. What a charming place. The menu offers a good choice of food for everyone, great selection of tea, coffee and cold drinks. Cosy and inviting atmosphere. The falafel I ordered to go was fresh and delicious. A nice spot to keep on a food map. A definite big wave from me, Little

Really cool little spot in the centre of town, will defo be back in the summer to try some of the platter offerings but today a good old English breakfast was needed and this place caught our eye. I didn’t notice until the food was served but they don’t have sausages on the breakfast which I did find a little strange but the bacon was outstanding. They also had home made baked beans which were a nice surprise and that homemade potato waffle was pretty special and a welcome change from a hash brown! The member of staff was also lovely. They even accommodated the pram and the pooch. Thanks guys
