Bollywood Buffet in Medway

Food was delicious. The owners were very friendly and I did not feel rushed into deciding what I wanted despite the queue. I am fat and could not eat it all! Highly recommend

Restaurant and outside catering is absolutely fabulous. Friendly and professional and delicious food. What else can you ask for.

I was fortunate enough to have an adjoining pitch yesterday at the Rochester Pride event. Right from the minute we met they were super friendly and helpful a lovely hard working married couple. All of their food was cooked fresh onsite, which is a massive undertaking but it tasted amazing. I have been fortunate to work in India and have eaten in local non tourist restaurants and in my colleagues homes and this is REAL traditional Indian food that has probably been handed down from generation to generation. Honestly the balance of spice, heat and flavours was amazing. As a restaurant owner I am big on the quality of the ingredients, how it is cooked and its presentation. This food was top quality, looked incredible and tasted divine. My only criticism is it’s too cheap. For what you get this is a bargain. Put your prices UP! Please support this amazing couple as I know first hand how hard it is to run a restaurant. SUPPORT LOCAL!! John @ SMOQE x

Hi Had this food at the Maid of Stone festival in Mote Park It was fabulous! Best festival food ever! Thanks Oz

Ok, firstly just to let you know the food we sampled was at Maid in Stone Festival in Mote Park this weekend and their pop stall was immense 👌🏻 Smashed it out the park for festival food and will return to their restaurant in Gillingham next time in Kent 👍🏻 Had the large Bollywood Box and the favours & taste was mouthwatering! Succulent chicken in different favours, the 50/50 pilau rice & chips, the hot n spicy sauce, plus spring rolls & samosa was the icing on the cake ✨ Top draw, bang on, and a must if spotted elsewhere or at their restaurant 👍🏻 Keep up the great work and see you @ your restaurant soon 🙏🏻

The only takeaway worth getting in Medway in my opinion, the food is consistently amazing, and amazing value, I’ve never gone to collect myself but all my family speak the highest of the owners as they have been going for a while, I cannot speak highly enough of them

Fabulous food for a fabulous price. You must try positive you will love and return. Owners lovely.

Friendly owner Lovely experience Food was amazing totally loved really enjoyed it cooked to perfection Worth every penny and the journey Mum enjoyed her birthday meal Good luck in the future Bollywood box we will definitely be back . !!

Great friendly service and great food. A regular stop off for me

Said the n-word to me and my friend at the end of a call

Absolutely amazing food, great customer service from owners who clearly love what they do. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to go back! Returned today (12/4/24); they're now doing take out boxes that are absolutely stunning. Highly recommend going to order and collect. The service is out of this world. Could not recommend higher

Wonderful service from the owner. The food is as good as it gets. Beautiful and highly recommended . the buckets are full of beautiful Indian delights

Not too bad . Sometimes lovely sometimes not so . Iv got around 15 boxes so far and seems a tad inconsistent . Sweet chicken curry sometimes has 0 sauce , sometimes loads and sometimes a little like a paste . Shredded chicken tastes different every time but tbh don’t mind as it’s never tasted bad . Iv had boxes half full and others full with 85% rice and others with a real array of each item . I’ll upload some photos to highlight what I’m stating but on the whole it’s worth a go / pretty decent value .

Rav's Bollywood Box Concept is AMAZING! Not only is the food wonderful but so are the staff. I fully recommend Bollywood Buffet to everyone that loves an Indian takeout!

I entered here ready to deliver an order & commented loosely on how wonderful the restaurant smelled. I couldn’t believe it, the kind gentleman behind the counter made me a small bowl with all sorts that I could sample. Just from this alone, I wish I lived closer to order over & over again. The food was delicious. I am so grateful to you. I fully recommend for everyone reading this to pay this restaurant a visit 😍

Great value for money, the food is delicious and the staff are always very friendly and helpful

I placed an order this evening and the food is absolutely AMAZING. Such value for money and a great selection. I really like the whole concept because you get to taste several dishes for a set price. The owner Rav was a really lovely guy and incredibly welcoming. I look forward to my next visit and I would give you 10/10 if I could!

Popped in as I was passing through and received a really nice welcome from Ravi who explained whats an offer. Really great Punjabi food with tandoori chicken and chilli chicken with plain rice and salad - hit the spot and will definitely be back and highly recommend! Thanks

This is such a lovely place, rub by lovely people! We've been going here for years, the buffet was lovely, the Bollywood family boxes were great and their new format is just as good, BollywoodBox. We arrive just as they had closed, silly me for not checking, having seen our legs they popped outside, let us in managed to sort out meals for me, my otherhalf, mum and our teenager. Cooked fresh chips and mango chilli chicken bites which are amazing!! Lucky us as it was a Wednesday we got a deal and fed the 4 of us for £42 and eyes were bigger than put belly so fed another 3 people for lunch. Will definitely we back, the food was lovely.

What a shame! Used to be an excellent authentic Indian buffet restaurant but now take away only. Food OK but no authentic Indian curry sauces available. Now get hot, mango sauces etc out of a plastic bottle

We had 2 bollywood boxes delivered. Arrived piping hot and quality was tasty and amazing

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service, reallly friendly and welcoming, first time visit so they where happy to walk us through what they had to offer, great value for money and ended up taking some home :)

I can not recommend this place more if I tried,my son is ASC and is very anxious around people and also only eats beige the time the gentleman took to talk about the food and give him so many options and gave him time to decide which was incredible! the quality of food was unreal hot tasty flavoursome and I can not wait to go back again and looks like I might have a new dining partner Thank you!!!

Always was a big fan of Bollywood's Buffet, which is now discontinued and the venue has reformatted it's cuisine to suit daytime grab and go food in the form of the 'Bollywood Box' (there is still room to eat in as well). I ordered the large box at just under a tenner. It was packed to the brim with delicious choices, and Oh how I have missed their Chilli Chicken! I got to try some new items, like the Masala Fries 'Scrummy' and Mango/chilli chicken bites 'delish'. The food continues to be of the best quality and service is impeccable. If you, like me are a big fan of OMAD (One meal a day) or just love authentic Sikh cuisine then I would highly recommend you give it a try...

We have been here twice in a week the food is sensational as is the welcome when you walk in! We have found our new favourite takeaway and cannot wait for one Friday!!! Thank you! Jo x

Very good food, now open weekday lunchtime but they might be open weekends too. Cost 9 -10 for a good solid lunch. Choose 2 or 3 toppings on a base of marsala fries or rice. Very tasty. Flavourful.

I discovered this restaurant two months ago and I have already been here 5 times. The food is excellent, the service is excellent and the atmosphere very warm and friendly ! All toghether are amazing and I can't wait to book a table again. Thank you to Rav and his family for the lovely dinners !

Sensational food, each and every time

Excellent Food, fantastic staff. It was my wife's birthday and they bought her free shots, asked where we were from and thanked us for our custom and bought a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to her. They even bought a box so we could take the leftover cake home. SUPERB SERVICE

First time here, definitely coming back. Everyone enjoyed everything they ate and the hosts are so friendly.

Fantastic service and lovely food. Loved chatting to the owner, brother and staff, they seem like genuine people and clearly care for their clients. I loved the naan and the spicy food so we'll defo try to drop by again. Would definitely recommend, book in advance to make sure you get a spot!

The buffet is amazing food. All of it tastes beautiful. The owners are friendly and welcoming and can't do enough. It's only a little place but it caters for everything you want. Can't praise this place enough. Can't wait to go back time and time again.

Came here for the first time and will be coming back! Absolutely fantastic, greeted with a smile and handshake, top notch service and delicious food (the buttermilk chicken is so so good)! Cannot wait to come back!!

Absolutely no words to describe how amazing this place is, not only is the food amazing, but the Staff and their service is unmatched, they are so friendly and welcoming! If you are looking for a new restaurant to visit definitely make the time, you will not regret it. Safe to say I’m not interested in going to anywhere else after the experience here:)

Great assortment of food but the stand out for this restaurant is the staff. They could not have been more accommodating, what a lovely meal

first timers... and what a find. Great simple food. Authentic 'home cooked' Indian food served in very friendly surroundings. will certainly be going back.

First timers....Excellent food, really well cooked, moist chicken. Fantastic service and so friendly and welcoming. The host was really lovely, genuinely takes pride in his business and treats you like family. We will be back!

Amazing! Fresh and delicious variety of food, a friendly and personal atmosphere, attentive staff, pristine facilities and all reasonably priced. We will be back! Thank you.

Very good. Excellent food and very good service, Would definitely come again.The butter chicken is amazing and so are the samosas.

Absolutely amazing, incredible food, brilliant service, just a great experience. From the moment we arrived we were treated like family invited round for a meal, Rav couldn't have been more welcoming. When he found out it was our wedding anniversary, we were treated to a drink on the house and then a wonderful cake with candles! Would not hesitate to recommend and we will definitely be back. Thanks Rav, you are a superstar!

Absolutely the best food I have ever eaten! An amazing restaurant with great food, staff, atmosphere and you feel like you are literally at your friends house, so relaxed and welcoming, with the best homemade authentic food. This is defo our new place that we will be visiting regularly. The only downfall is that it’s taken me 8 years to find this restaurant, it was at the end of our high street all along! Gutted!! It’s taken me so long searching high and low for somewhere just like this. They even gave me a cake on mine and my daughters birthday! Rav you should be so proud of your team and a great place you have created! I will be back with my friend, maybe this week actually!

was impressed food was excellent ,atmosphere was good and the service was second to none,intend to return very soon could not fault it in any way

Excellent food, very filling and a different take on your typical Indian food. The service and politeness will not be beaten here, definitely a friendly and warm atmosphere will visit again 👍🏽

Seen so many good reviews and can easily see why. The food was quality, affordable and the place is run by a passionate team. The service is class and they deserve the success.

Amazing food. Authentic Indian taste. Not a curry house, this is a proper Indian cuisine restaurant. Reasonably priced and delicious food. Definitely try the Punjabi onion pakoras to taste the actual onion bhajji, as it should be tasted. Loved it.

Fantastic Indian experience at Bollywood Indian Eatery. I took my research lab there, to celebrate a new team member joining. Everything was just perfect. Not only the food was great, but the service and the kindness of the owner was absolutely remarkable!

I was there with a group of friends and the dinner was great! The dishes are tasty and they offer a good variety of curries and traditional dishes. Moreover the staff is very accommodating and kind. I recommend it!

Lovely food, clever original ideas, especially with the naanizza. Highly recommended to friends & colleagues, all of which would love this place

We first visited this restaurant a few years ago having seen trip adviser reviews and have since returned almost every year since (Covid permitting!) on our way to France. It has become a family favourite and my son's restaurant of choice and well worth the...

Wow the best place I’ve eaten at this year, great customer service, amazing food if I could give more than 5 stars I would.

The food here is absolutely beautiful. The new naanizza is insane! So light! I have come away full but feeling good, not full and uncomfortable! If you are in Gillingham or around Gillingham this is the best Indian place to go, you will not be...

Amazing people, amazing food.. absolutely love this place ❤

Great food on a great fusion menu. Really good service and well priced.

Best food, amazing service.. can’t wait to go again! Defo a little secret restaurant in gillingham. Super clean.. customer service .. best ever!

A very warm friendly welcome, excellent service and atmosphere. What a great new experience with a unique twist on an Indian menu. I wished I could take this restaurant home with me.

Fantastic!! Food was amazing, hot and fresh. Rav was very friendly and provided excellent service. I highly recommend it . Price was reasonable. We will definitely be returning!

The service is really efficient and they are super nice and chill. I would say the best service i have had at a restaurant in years. The two brothers that own the place are there and Rav was such a nice guy.The food is really really fresh and tasty. The Lamb especially is so so tender. The chicken wings so soft with this amazing texture and flavour on the outside.There are your standard curries and keema etc and there are also keema fries and chocolate samosas and naanizzas and things like that too... Super unique and the Keema fries were unbelievably good.Worth noting due to Covid they aren't a buffet at the moment so more of an a la carte experience but it doesn't matter to be honest. The service and food are so fantastic that i will be going back regularly.

It's been a while since we ate inside due to the Covid closures, although we have been enjoying their takeaway boxes. We had seriously fussy family members visiting with us, so I was a little concerned. They did pull their face when we pulled up outside, maybe it didn't look like their normal salubrious Lincoln restaurants, and it took them some time to negotiate the new menu, but I needn't have worried.Once the food was served, they were delighted and said it was the best Indian food they had ever tasted. Praise indeed from Mr and Mrs Fussy!We knew, of course, that they wouldn't be disappointed, as the food quality and flavours are top notch.And although we were used to the pre-Covid buffet style of choosing, I'd say that the new menu is just stunning.This is Medways best kept secret, so shhhhhhhhhh

What can I say, the food was amazing and cooked to perfection. The staff were fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable about the cuisine. We are definitely going back even thou we live in essex.

Food was quality - nice different twist on your standard Punjabi/Indian restaurant menus. Naanizza's were good and a decent size, Tandoori wings - superb! Our group shared the hero thali, which again was very nice - the lamb especially a lovely dish.A note on Rav the owner who served us - he was welcoming and attentive. Fantastic service.

Staff are very friendly and so are the owners, very informative about the dishes you have any questions about aswell as lovely food

My family had a takeaway from here. Food was delicious. We had a mixture of curries, rice, sides and naanizzas. All were excellent. Good sized portions and tasty flavours. We will definitely order again. Family run business and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended

Good service good food very clean would recommend this restaurant if you enjoy Indian food

Been here a bunch of times, different kinds of original authentic food Definitely recommend this place,, and a great price

After seeing the reviews on TripAdvisor we booked last minute for this little flavour bomb!The staff are so friendly and had built a great report of all the clear repeat customers. Endless baskets of fresh poppadoms and cold drinks got us off to a great start and then came the meals. We went for a 4 curry meal which came with rice's, 2 sides and unlimited naan (not that we could fit much more in )Famous lamb curry , lamb keema, saag panneer and sweet butter chicken were all amazing. Little tip don't eat too many poppadoms :) . Had to take our onion bajis home for laterWill deffo be back, amazing team and fantastic food!

Amazing food and absolutely fantastic service

Buffet box was excellent, nice variety of tastes and flavours. The food is always exceptional here, and the staff are fantastic.
