This place is a real gem. The food and flavours are very authentic and everything is cooked to a good standard. I came with a friend who recommended me the place and we were very looked after from the minute we arrived. We had mix grill and the special a meat special with chapatis and popadoms The staff are very friendly. Good value, I would recommend less cream in the saag paneer but that’s to my taste. Highly recommend this place

The Jewel of Tontine – Always Exceeds Expectations! I’ve been coming to this brilliant Indian restaurant for many years, and it never disappoints! I remember the days when the restaurant was called the ‘Calcutta’ before being renamed ‘The Curry Garden’ (which shows just how long I’ve been attending!) The food is consistently fantastic, with rich flavors and a menu that offers both classic and innovative dishes. Every meal feels like a special experience, thanks to the quality of the ingredients and the skill in the kitchen. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Sami and his team are always so friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to make sure every visit is memorable. Whether it’s accommodating special requests or simply checking in with a warm smile, they create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere that keeps me coming back and has done for many years. If you’re looking for a place with amazing food and genuinely caring service, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! I’ve eaten curry all over the world and there’s no place better. Even the take-away option (special for 2) is brilliant and reasonably priced. Love the place and hopefully will be attending for many years to come.

We visited Curry Garden over the weekend and had a mostly enjoyable experience with some standout dishes, though a few elements fell short. As normal we started with 6 Popadoms Please, which were crisp and flavorful, accompanied by four chutneys, including the often-requested lime pickle! The food was great, ticking most of the boxes in what we look for; the Chicken Tikka Dhansak was up there with some of the nicest we’ve had, with a balance of sweet, sour, and spice. However, the chicken was a bit rubbery, which let the dish down slightly. The Chicken Tikka Masala (Madras Hot), while hitting the right spice level, lacked the depth of flavour we expected from a Tikka Masala, and again, the chicken texture was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Chicken Korai House Special which was the highlight of the evening. It packed the perfect mix of hot, spicy, and sweet flavours. This lovely dish was a testament to the service. The waiter suggested we try the Special and came back to see how we enjoyed it and explain the origin of how they make the unique dish. The vibe was welcoming and lively, with a good mix of diners filling the space. However, the lighting was a bit too bright for our taste, and the music could have been turned up a notch to really enhance the atmosphere. The toilets appeared to have been recently refurbished and were immaculately clean, leaving very little to complain about. In conclusion, while some dishes fell short, the service and standout moments made it a worthwhile visit. We’d definitely go back. Rating: 4.6 out of 6 Six Poppadoms Please #6PP

We visited the Curry Garden for the first time last night having lived in Folkestone for 18 years - how we have missed out! Excellent first impression - toilets were sparkling. Food was fantastic - very tasty tender meat and good size portions. No licence so BYO which helps keep the cost down! Very friendly and attentive service - can’t wait to go back!

This was a delightful find. The food was good and authentic . It was reasonably priced. For a weekday meal out, just the job. It probably isn't the right place for a special occasion, though. There was a family feel about the place which I rather liked. The staff were immensely polite and the waiter Olie R exceptional. I did feel that the staff had a genuine commitment to customer service and to this restaurant as their work place. I am sure I will return here.

Wasn’t a very good experience at all! Poppadoms were stale, they were bendy and chewy. Our mains werent very nice either, we had a chicken tikka madras & lamb dansak. Chicken you could tell was frozen as some pieces were okay and others were crunchy & all the same size & cut same way. Also lacked flavour. Lamb was really tough! No music on in the background & had no atmosphere. We have been to a lot of curry houses but this one has definitely been one of the worst. Do not recommend

As someone who, unfortunately, suffers genuine intolerances to food, it is important for a restaurant or anyone serving you food, to get your food requirements right. Despite explaining numerous intolerances and trying to explain that I need for me food to be served plain, I was assured that plain chicken could be served. The chicken I was served was far from plain, however, this only becomes apparent after having bitten into said chicken. The upshot is that people serving you your food flat out LIE to you. So decide for yourself if you are happy to place your confidence in an establishment which blatantly ignores your genuine needs and is happy to tell you barefaced lies in the interest of taking a few quid off you. Will not be going back here EVER

Liars. Despite explaining that I have numerous food intolerances and asking if it was possible to serve me plain meat, I was assured plain meat could be served. The meat was absolutely not plain. So the only conclusion that I can draw is that this establishment does not care about my needs or welfare and is happy to LIE to me in order to take a few quid off me. Let's hope my dining experience will not adversely affect my health for the next couple of weeks. Not that they'd care, apparently. Absolutely never setting foot in this unhygienic, dishonest establishment ever again

Had dinner here last night with my boyfriend. He had king prawn vindaloo and I had chicken dansak. We shared pilau rice and garlic naan and a few papadums. Can't fault any of it - really tasty! Dansak was really flavoursome with loads of chicken, vindaloo was yummy and super spicy as expected. Good portion sizes and reasonably priced - whole thing came to just under £40. BYOB from the newsagents down the road. The man that served us was polite and attentive.

The achari gosht is a dish you must try that not many other Indian restaurants do and the kurzi lamb too. This place offers original Indian/Bangladesh food of the highest quality.

We asked if the restaurant would open specially for us to celebrate a birthday. Usually closed Sunday afternoons, they obliged. There were about 25 of us. It was wonderful. We paid a reasonable set price and were treated to poppadoms and chutneys. Then a lovely mixed starter came out. Followed by several different curries and veg dishes with rice and nan bread. So much that many people took take away containers full. How the kitchen did it was amazing. It was all hot and very tasty. The children were happy and so were the adults. The tables were 😍beautifully set when we arrived. I love this restaurant. Always consistently excellent. Lovely clean loos. You take your own booze and they clear your mess. What is not to love.

The BEST Curry Restaurant in Folkestone. On last visit (Thu 25th Apr) saw that there were 2 new 'House Specials' on the menu. We tried both - Shahi and Shatkora - and can recommend them to all the regulars to try these new dishes. The Shatkora is a Chef's special and was delicious, the Shahi has a slight citrus flavouring which was most pleasing to the palate. We know what we'll be ordering again on our next visit. Well done to Sammy and the staff for another great night.

The lady in this restaurant steals your money. I purchased a biriyani and there was no papadam and salad and charged me extra. These are given at any restaurants as part of the biriyani. She was so rude on the phone when I questioned. This is the second time this has happened. When I asked why it was missing her answer was "its my restaurant and we run it how we want." What a disgusting and pathetic lady. She spoiled my day

Service was polite and friendly. However, the staff sat in the restaurant video chatting on their phones pretty loudly. Food came out very, very quickly (we were the only customers) and was your average British curry fare. Restaurant is unlicensed, so only soft drinks available (we knew this, and were happy with soft drinks). I didn't check the bill properly, but later discovered that we'd been over charged by about £10. Not sure how that happened, and totally my fault for not checking.

I think this is the best curry in Folkestone. We'vetried a few ( been here 5 years) and been underwhelmed. If you want a traditional ( Bangladeshi) curry house with all the recognisable dishes;done well, and a few to try out, come here. No alchohol is served and the main restaurant could do with an update. But I think the food has great flavours and is overall well executed.

I understand they're busy on the delivery side, but I found eating food in the restaurant nothing to make a big impression. It was also a little disappointing there wasn't a hot towel or mini chocolate after the meal. I would certainly eat here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice for Indian food in Folkestone.

Takeaway for two on a Wednesday at 6pm. Starter Onion bhajis. Very dark, greasy flat pancake. Yuk! Main courses were both off their new 20th anniversary (July 2024) new meal section. Came in a large container with 7 pieces of chicken each. One meal described as hot - Chennai with chicken. Verdict, don't bother, chip shop curry sauce with pieces of chicken - no vegetables at all. Other meal was Roshon with chicken. This had same colour and flavour as the Chennai. Verdicts. Don't waste your money, just go to a chip shop and get a tub of cheap curry sauce. Chef, why serve two different dishes to the same customer which both taste and look exactly the same. Also why just put thin curry sauce over meat without even trying to add some...(any) vegetables. There were no vegetables, not even onions in the meals. This is an insult to curry. You have cut too many corners and need to rethink your business. Sorry, we will not be back.
