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 😎
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.
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.
Good food and polite service, food prices very reasonable. Once ordered food came out quick and hot, overall happy with a last minute choice and pleasantly surprised
Absolutely love the gold curry. The main cook is a diamond. Flavour we spit on, huge chunks of chicken. I always order the chicken dahnsak, no matter where I eat and the golden curry is spot on, no where does it better! I’ve tried a few different curries from here and they’re all banging, the naan and onion bahjis are perfect too! Highly recommend great food for a great price!
First time finding this little gem absolutely lovely food and great service. Will come again
Great place!
Everything was fresh and full of flavor
You have a lot of mild options which is great
Just had a lovely meal, chicken bhuna i asked for it spicy and was amazing, food and service was top 😋
Went with my granddaughter on 28th May while visiting Cliftonville. Had booked a table. Upon arrival the lovely waitress had decorated our table with dove and hearts confetti. She was so friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, we were choosy and they catered to us very well.
Enjoyed an excellent takeaway. Delicious and good value.
