Nice curry, I had a chicken dish and my husband a lamb, both very nice and the service was on point.

Over 2 hours for delivery to arrive.Vile. Disgusting slop. Worst indian meal ever in our lifes.Disgraceful to take peoples money then give them prison food.Every single dish was disgusting.They even managed to ruin the papadoms.

We went as a large group - they were understaffed and struggled with the volume of orders. It was a frankly bizarre evening but in a so bad it’s funny kind of way. The drinks and food came out late - very late - we sat down at 7pm and didn’t get food until gone 9pm. We were starving! It all came out together on a trolly. Majority of it was cold at this point and he had no idea what was what. I ordered a vegetable korma and found a piece of chicken in it (I spat it out and didn’t eat anything else). My friend is vegan and there was butter in hers. Service was slow, waiter kept calling us m’lady and when we eventually went to pay he said we had to pay on one card or pay cash. Which was just a tad chaotic with everyone trying to figure out what they ate and someone had to volunteer to pay the lump sum. The food was actually reasonably good, but it wasn’t hot and with all the rice and meat we were all worried that we would be poorly afterwards. Thankfully we were fine but I wouldn’t go here if you have any kind of dietary requirements and don’t go as a group!

The restaurant was freezing cold, service took forever. We left with no food after an hour and a half as we were so cold and needed warmth!

Been reluctant to give this review. This is the longest established, same owner and head chef, same stylised decor and same best Indian food in Margate. It’s actually Cliftonville - the secret cool bit of town. This restaurant makes this area cool. And if you don’t recognise the lifetime achievements of the owner/chef, the family and the dedicated team who make this great - you’re sadly going to be influenced by the latest passing fad and miss this gem. And I hope you do - don’t want the secret out ?

A nice local curry house, food was tasty but a bit cold. Service was good, but slow.

DO NOT ORDER TAKE AWAY OVER THE PHONE. THEY TAKE YOUR CARD DETAILS AND USE THEM TO BUY SUBSCRIPTIONS ON APPLE DEVICES. Luckily my bank were vigilant and blocked most (not all) of these transactions.

Enjoyed an excellent takeaway. Delicious and good value.
Years ago when I first visited Margate, I came across a hidden gem Indian restaurant upon arriving late at night, and I’ve been dreaming about those flavours ever since. 5 years later I finally made it back here and pin this restaurant down.The chef is an old guy who has been cooking in that kitchen for decades. The waiter has been working there for more than ten years. Just like us, sometimes things don’t go as planned and they get distracted. But that is okay. We could all be a bit more forgiving.(If you’re in a hurry, I’d suggest to order ahead and collect at a set time. )I will not hesitate to recommend this restaurant, and will definitely go back when I next visit Margate.

Very pleasant experience, server attentive but not over bearing, we ordered lamb korma with pilau rice which was absolutely delicious and worth the money, will definitely return ? Only criticism is the decor is a bit tired , but dont let this distract you from this gem.

How anyone can give this restaurant a negative review is beyond me. The food is excellent and fresh ingredients seem to be used throughout. Service by very professional waiters is a welcome relief, especially in Margate. Prices seem to represent exceptional value, particularly these days. The crisp white linen tablecloths are a joy and the fact the chefs wear spotless whites is also a reassuring factor. The only negative for this restaurant is the naff name, I’m convinced if it was renamed with a contemporary title people would be rushing through the door. Go see for yourself.
