Disappointed. I don’t understand how this get 4.7 stars.It took me 20 min to have my food, it wasn’t that busy. Had to chase them up on my order…The kitchen was not so clean and the food was super average.It’s not that expensive, and 10 pounds for a bowl of rice is ok but it wasn’t delicious at all and a bit dry.

Oh my goodness, this really IS a hidden gem! Came across this place as we couldnt find anywhere to eat on a friday night and so plsd we did. Food freshly made when you order. Dont be put off by the small cooking area, food was nicely spiced, cooked to perfection and portion sizes were just right. Staff were really friendly too and very reasonably priced. No frills but you couldn't beat the quality. Please visit, if you get the chance. You won't be disappointed.

Great little place. Great tasty Indian food and plenty of it at realistic prices. We loved it and I would certainly recommend it 100%. It can take a little longer to arrive on your table as its a one man show but defo worth the wait.

Love this place. When in margate it is the place to eat. Amazing authentic flavours lovingly prepared in a small space. Such a lovely gent serving along with his delightful family. I can't speak highly enough. It's just a next level! A really great selection and huge portions for the price. You won't regret finding this place in the old kent market, (the one with the bus, near the turner).

Delicious food, good taste, very cheap price. You may have to wait a little long because there is only one chef. The chef is nicely and always asks if the food is okay. overall good ?

Delicious and authentic! Masala Dosa (we got the gluten free option) and a little side of chicken curry set us up for our day at the beach.Great atmosphere in The Old Kent Market too. Thanks for looking after us, we’ll be back soon!

Absolutely amazing South Indian food. No grease whatsoever, fresh, perfectly spiced, hot, and such a friendly owner. We were having a drink nearby and he gave us a taster while we waited...unbelievable prices too - masala dosa was out of this world and HUGE, all for about a fiver. It's great to see honest food cooked with passion and served without an insane markup. I hope this summer sees Jaffna's reputation grow massively with the influx of tourists for the season! Please go!Vegetarian options: Loads of vegetarian and vegan options, and not your typical unhealthy vegan trash

Amazing staff! So friendly and helpful explaining to our teen boys every dish and bringing them extras. The best authentic Indian food I have eaten outside of India itself (travelled there extensively). And all cooked with true Indian humility, charm and love. Will definitely be back with as many friends as possible! Don’t go anywhere else in Margate for Indian food. A little tip try the samosas!
