Well this turned really nasty and the police were called and they ( 2 managers) decided we were right and gave us a full refund and we left to go somewhere else. We truly wanted to support local businesses in these hard times.such a shame on this place.

The owner was a friendly guy who you could tell really believes in his business. I would totally recommend the place to any visitors to Margate!

Absolutely appalling behaviour - RACISM and ASSAULT by a member of staff…read more I had a shocking experience at The Cuban in Canterbury that I feel needs to be shared. My friend and I were standing near the windowsill inside with our handbags next to us when a tall African bouncer approached us aggressively. He began waving his finger in our faces and acted confrontational without any clear explanation--apparently just because our bags were resting on the windowsill. What made this worse was that he targeted my friend, who is Black Caribbean, with clear and disturbing racial bias. It was painfully obvious that this man--despite being Black himself--was prejudiced and aggressive toward us, especially her. I spoke to the head bouncer who confirmed there was no issue as long as we were standing next to our bags. We returned to where we were, but the same bouncer came back, told us to get out with no explanation, and when I asked why, he refused to answer. I began recording for my own protection, and he snatched my phone, was physically aggressive, and later threw my drink all over me and broke my phone strap. This was a clear assault, and I have reported the incident to the police. Another bouncer just said, "we don't need to give you a reason--he's worked here for seven years," which is absolutely unacceptable. This was not just poor treatment--it was racially motivated, physically aggressive, and deeply unprofessional. The Cuban seriously needs to review who they employ and how they deal with incidents like this. I will never return and strongly advise others--especially people of colour--to be cautious before going there.

My reservations about the place are that they do tend to let anyone in, and sometimes the crowd can be a bit rough and not to my liking, other times its lovely!

The supercilious bouncers, rather than recognise regular customers, or take care of their clientele, treat you with distain. You are not even worthy of eye contact. God forbid you should try and make conversation. The final straw was last Saturday night; my best friend's Hen Party. The owner had met the groom at a charity event the week previous, and graciously offered a booth for the Hen, free of charge, and promises of 'being taken care of'. Ooooo, how lovely. So generous. The bride was so excited. We all were. When our party arrived at MuMu, there was no booth for us, but a sectioned off table, in the bar area, away from the dance floor. Disappointed it was not one of their 'booths', as promised, next to the dance floor, but fine, no problem, we were just pleased to have 'an area', and looking forward to enjoying the promised hospitality. I asked the manager if we could sort out some drinks for the hens. He said the owner was not there, and there was no note to say a bottle of wine or champagne had been arranged. Oh. How odd I thought. This wasn't what we were expecting at all! Confused and disappointed but I wasn't going to let anything spoil this special evening for my friend. "No problem" I said. "Could I purchase a bottle of wine or champagne"? "No. We don't sell that". "Ok, could I get a few pitchers / jugs or fish bowls"? - "No, we don't do that either". Hmmmm. " I have 16 thirsty ladies, what can I get them to kick start the evening?" I was offered a bottle of Smirnoff Vodka with mixers for £95.00 !!!!! (Oh and it wasn't even a large bottle of vodka! I think the Spa sells it for £18.00.) Alternatively I could buy cocktails at £8 / £9 a pop. "Well I need 16 drinks now - can you not do a pitcher - or at least give me a (bulk buy) discount whilst we wait for your bar staff to mix up the drinks". NO. Apparently not. Far too much effort for them. Flabbergasted, and totally unimpressed, but refusing to let anything spoil my friend's special night, I bit the bullet and bought the £95.00 bottle of vodka, from the unsmiling unfriendly bar staff (to match the bouncers). We all had a drink at our table, and then whisked ourselves upstairs to boogie the night away. I popped back down to our table after 20 minutes or so only to find, the £95.00 worth of mixers and remaining vodka had been cleared away!!! I attempted to speak to the manager, but he really wasn't interested, and I couldn't be bothered to have it out with him. We were 'Trying' to have a good night. I am a 40 year old professional business owner, not some young drunken idiot girl, and I have been on many a Hen Do, where the staff have bent over backwards to ensure the bride-to-be had the most fabulous time. I am truly disgusted with Mu Mu's and their staff for almost ruining this Hen Party. Some of the ladies had travelled from miles all over the country. The attitude of ALL the staff was antiseptic! Do NOT have your party here! Free booth or not. You're better off paying through the nose and finding a venue that actually cares if your enjoy your evening, and who knows, makes you feel a little bit special.
