Amazing restaurant. Friday at 6 didn't book and a got a table. Didn't know anything before hand and were surprised with the most amazing menu - hard to pick what we wanted. Whatever you opt for get a side of the okra it was divine. Portion sizes really generous for how good the food is. We will definitely be back.

Amazing food. The service was a little slow as they were short staffed, and they had chefs serving as waitors, but the food was still outstanding and great atmosphere.

We tried The Cook’s Tale yesterday for the Sunday lunch. WOW it was absolutely delicious. We had the shared chicken and the single lamb dish and shared between 4 and there was plenty. Spice was just right. Dev the chef presented us with our dinner and we were able to chat with him which was a nice touch. Complimentary pea and artichoke soup with naan bread and we asked to the chocolate deserts to take home. I will definitely be returning next time I am in the area. Thank you.

Food was very well prepared. The service was exceptional, for once it was chef Dev himself who brought the plates and did the service (not as a chef). Thanks for a great night!!

Fantastic Indian. Unexpected find in Canterbury of all places. I eat a lot of Indian food (Central London, Tooting, Southall, Delhi) but this was possibly the best I had. Great taste, classy atmosphere, excellent service. Prices are probably medium/high for Canterbury, but more than justified by the food quality. Highly recommended and worth a journey to Canterbury on its own.
We had the vegetarian starter, the Thali and the king prawns. All excellent.

I have eaten here many times of the years including prior to when it was the ambrette. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. All the tasting menus I have had here are top notch and are affordable. The house red wine is always dependable and anything I have ever tried I have thoroughly enjoyed. Joining on a Friday and Saturday is made all the more special with the piano man. He is fantastic and it creates a wonderful atmosphere. Make it your next booking in Canterbury

Decent restaurent good location attentive service above average food.
Thali seems to be the specialty dish but I found lamb kebab a good choice.
