"We have been coming to the rainbow restaurant for the last several years, it’s our go to whenever we visit Hastings and honestly I can’t recommend it enough The food and service cannot be faulted in our experience, there’s a great variety on the menu, it’s always fresh, generous in portion sizes and I eat a lot) well prepared and always tastes brilliant, in comparison to what most other places charge I can’t fault the value for money either. We’re always shocked at how quickly and efficiently the food comes out, there was 12 of us on our last visit a few weeks ago, lots of different orders, some with specific requirements, in these cases sometimes it’s understandable as we are human to make the odd mistake or two but again everything was perfect, and service just as quick and efficient as always! All the staff members are more than helpful and go above and beyond to make sure everything’s perfect, we often talk to the same staff members year after year and sometimes they even come out of the busy kitchen to say hello. Over the years one of the waitresses Sharna has especially been great, always really good to have a chat with about anything, always goes above and beyond and rushes of her feet to make sure everyone has what they need, she’s an asset to the rainbow, we will keep coming to the rainbow for years to come, have had lots of good food and made many great memories here and many more to come! If you want to go to a restaurant that serves great food at great prices with great service, and friendly staff, this is the place for you."

"At first we were impressed by the low prices compared to other places on King 's Road. The ambience is nice and the cakes look tasty! We ordered a cheese onion toastie and a hummus, Halloumi and carrot wrap to take away. We were told the wait would be 10 minutes as there were a couple of orders before ours. 30 minutes later and our food had still not materialised! I understand that it was busy, but the two members of staff behind the counter didn 't seem to have a rush bone in their bodies. The girl making the sandwiches even stopped to have a chat with some customers while everybody was waiting for their food. My biggest gripe however, was when I took a bite into my wrap and realised that they 'd put grilled vegetables instead of carrot (I 'd overheard earlier that they 'ran out of carrot ' but they didn 't consult me about it). I am allergic to aubergine, which is in the grilled vegetables. Granted I didn 't disclose that when I gave the order, but only because I 'd intentionally chosen a wrap that didn 't contain grilled vegetables. I don 't know whether it was an honest mistake, or whether they substituted the carrots without consulting me. If I hadn 't been in my car driving away I would have gone back and found out. In the end the whole thing went in the bin. All in all I think this business needs to take a look at its food practices. I also saw staff touching their hair and then food without washing their hands. I work in catering and this is a big no no."

"Well… initially this was a positive visit… a lovely lady served me at the bar as I was waiting for a friend to join me. The food was tapas and I’m vegetarian and was initially pleased with the choice for me…sadly though the meal was spoiled because one of the dishes had to be left untouched. I ordered aubergine which is my absolute favourite … something I eat in restaurants all the time and also cook at home… it was tough as old boots meaning it wasn’t cooked enough and I left literally the whole thing in tact… this in itself wouldn’t have spoiled our visit… I politely told the staff why I had left it … I wasn’t rude at all… I went to pay and as the initial staff member had indicated that they would take this item off the bill … I was also going to purchase another round of drinks … but changed my mind when a very rude member of staff… who was too busy watching Sheffield play football on his phone to even look at me when I was having a conversation … grunted at me that 8 other people had ordered the aubergine and they hadn’t complained. Well maybe they hadn’t … maybe the chef had got bored by the time it came to undercooking my food? Who knows… but obviously when a dish is left uneaten and nearly completely untouched … with one bite out of it…that tells you it wasn’t right?… I cancelled my further drinks order … and left this rude bloke who obviously had little or no customer service training … watching his football… I wouldn’t recommend any tourists visiting for a meal when he is on duty… he obviously thinks that we’re only passing through on holiday so no need to be pleasant. Nil points to The Hastings Arms … I hope you enjoyed your football!!!"
