Lemon Leaf Restaurant & Bar in Shepway - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

as usual amazing food. our favourite restaurant in folkestone.

Very quick service, lovely food

The food was great and have Indian and Nepalese flavours. We have tried Butter chicken and Chicken Madras it was yummy. The ambience was good but can be improved.

Delicious, fresh and hot, no complaints at all !

Wonderful, tasty food, as usual. 10% off also appreciated. Just one thing, there was quite a lot less chicken in our curry than usual - just saying.

Terrible taste. Literally ate the chicken and nothing else

Bang on... every time. Lemon Leaf are doing something right!!

Everything was so dry, usually very good from Lemon leaf, but tonight was just a disappointment.

The restaurant was quiet with plenty of room, the staff were fantastic and friendly, the food was great and plenty of it, we had wine a starter and main all for £60 on valentine's night, my wife loved the experience like me. We recommend the lemon leaf to anyone who wants value for money.

Stunning momos and noodles, definitely recommend

I’m so sorry but the food was all cold and I didn’t eat mine. The chicken was dry and the rice was just like mush 😭

Excellent. Properly spiced curries (unlike some of their blander local competitors).

First time I’ve tried the samosas - homemade and very good.

Hi there I didn’t receive my food yet.

Fabulous food as always, very flavourful.

Absolutely amazing, food was perfect and delicious and the food arrived earlier than expected which was fine for us. Would definitely order again

Amazing food! 🥘 this is our second order and it is always amazing! We got the Garlic cheese nann and Kali Mirch Dish and it’s amazing! We unfortunately ordered to the wrong address by accident but sorted it out straight away and we still go our food! Amazing service! 🩷

Absolutely delicious. Excellent value.

This was a take away delivery but just wanted folks to know about the delicate, balanced flavours. I had the Lamb Kathmandu with Chicken fried rice and it was superb! The garlic and cheese naan was excellent as was the Saag paneer. We don't use salt to cook with much at home and I find that the food is not over salted. It's so refreshing to wake up the following day without that dry mouth feeling! Very much recommended!

Wow, asked for ASAP, and certainly got it :) food was awesome as usual. Really enjoyed it tonight.

My go to for Nepalese food. Food is always great, never been disappointed yet!

Hate ordering take away in a Monday night as few places do it well but sometimes needs must. Literally the worst onion ‘bhaji’ I’ve ever had the experience of in my life (clay oven is the BEST) this was a few bits of sloppy greasy onion - if you can’t be bothered just reduce the menu! Curries we’re ok.. pilau rice was bemusing. Wouldn’t order again.

Excellent food and very fast delivery

After calling menu places on a Saturday night we found space at this restaurant. Very dated in terms of furniture and decor and we had to ask for the music to be put on as there was absolutely no atmosphere with only about three tables of diners. Customer service was good. Our order was taken promptly and drinks brought out quickly. Though they did forget the tap water which we had to ask for again. The food was really good. We got a selection of starters, mains and naans and everything came out hot and fresh. The food was nice and spicy with a fair few dishes having chopped chillis that you could see and remove or like me eat as a salad - they were very hot! The flavours in the curries and the chilli paneer were complex and pleasant. Only thing we found an issue with was that the noodles were a little too al dente. All in all a pleasant meal and absolutely amazing value for money. If in Folkestone again then I would definitely go there again. It says free parking at rear on the window but we could not find this. We just parked in the side street.

Said it would be ready by 6 was waiting until 6.25

Absolutely vile! The onion bhajis were sloppy warm onion I've never seen anything like it! The naan might aswell have been a popadom! Never again

Food was okay, Saag rice was nice but my curry was not at all creamy as it started and didn't have any consistency because of all the oil swimming on it. Momos were okay not the best I've ever had. Delivery was on the longer end, probably won't order again, given 3 stars to be fair as it was edible.

Always brilliant from here, never been disappointed

They tried....but failed pretty miserably. Starters were poor, mixed and very tired prawns, lamb and chicken. Salad seemed like it had been out on the tops for a few days. Onion bharjis were like they were cooked in oil too cold and were very greasy. Main courses were poor quality chicken and only tikka masala was available as 'tikka', other dishes were chewy chicken. Rice was OK and plentiful. Naan bread was good. Service was nice, if a little disoriented - one dish was completely forgotten.....but they tried...

Delicious and affordable food, and generous portion. The service on the phone needs to improve a little bit

Only had take out, but the food is tasty, hot, and fresh

Very tasty food and friendly service. The food was a lot! We can recommend this without reservation.

Late delivery of food and no real explanation. Onion bhaji were terrible...if I could upload a picture i would...just some onions fried and thrown into a foil dish...food was not overly hot...not a great experience.

Amazing food and good value. Great place for a pit stop as we returned to Yorkshire from our holiday to France.

Used as a pit stop as we returned to Yorkshire from France and was perfect. Great quality food at good prices

A bit disappointed today, food was barely warm and onion bhaji very small but we love this restaurant so would use again

Order was late. Missing items.

Nice food, butter naan & madras chicken curry must try

Chicken dry and overcooked. Medium dish too hot.

One of the best Indian/Nepalese restaurant I've ever been in. Everything you taste is just perfection. Not many people know about this place which is a shame because a lot of people are missing out!

Very tasty, hot food. Couple of papad missing but it wasn’t a big deal

Order delivery at least twice a month. Always fresh, always tasty, and always great service. Food is the best food in Folkestone ( not just best curry)

Food always excellent from the lemon Leaf.

Delicious, hot food what more can you want! We haven’t ordered from the Lemon Leaf for ages but the quality is still the same.

The quality of the food is exceptional! So delicious - high quality ingredients. Wow - will definitely be ordering again!

Amazing and very tasty food! I'd 100% recommend this restaurant. The chicken was so tender. Will definitely order again.

Food arrived cold and was over an hour late even after chasing the restaurant and was told it was ok its way.

Had gone there on Easter Sunday with staff for dinner at around 9 pm , the restaurant had only a couple of tables seated , we waited to be seated and we asked them for a table of 5 in which the waitress immediately sorted out the seating and then we were escorted back to our table , as soon as we were about to settle an other waiter came yelling at our table saying get-out ,ill not serve you , ill close the kitchen , when inquired with one of the new waiters he said that the guy yelling was the owner, Bro whomever you may be the owner or the waiting staff please learn how to treat your guest by the way its not my first visit to your establishment ben here more times then any other restaurant in folkstone not because of your food but because to support small businesses, and you were always under staff and ran orders to the table late By the way we also come from a hospitality backgrounds ,and we understand how difficult it is running a kitchen , but the way you treated us as if we racially discriminated,, You could hqve been more polite and we would have moved out nicely AND YOU RUINED OUR EASTER NIGHT AND WE WILL NEVER RETURN

Brilliant as always! Exceeds expectations from taste all the way to delivery time, 10/10 service :)

Really flavoured curry, best in Folkestone so far

Delicious food and such friendly staff. It was a little quiet being a Monday night ...parking us free at rear of restaurant.

Faultless service. An item was missed on the order, this was rectified immediately with no fuss 10/10.

Was tasty, but everything was almost cold. Especially sad when we live down the road.

Delicious as always, always arrives hot and doesnt take too long.

Great food and reasonably priced, thanks 👍

Attended pvt function. They have hall downstairs. Easy parking at the back. Food, service was very nice. Had nice music and dance. Fully enjoyed party. Recommend small parties and functions

Food very average, delivered an hour late even after we pre ordered and booked a specific delivery time. We repeatedly phoned the restaurant to try to find out what was going on with bo answer.

Beautiful food! So fresh and excellently cooked! Just the best! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Delicious food as always! Lovely food and our first choice when entertaining. For 2 friends last night, this was their first taste of Nepalese food and they are now also converts.

Does not disappoint - our go-to for takeaway. Some greats starters and vegan options too!

Samosas were burnt. Rice was mush. The King Prawn Biryani was lacking the King Prawns. Delivery was 15 minutes late, and Naan was delivered 5 mins later. Not a good experience. for the £44.20

Not a good experience. Left before ordering. Staff were not welcoming and abrupt. Restaurant was cold and uninviting.

Food was ok but the flavours weren't as nice as when we have ordered before. They also forgot one of our dishes.

Amazing! Couldn’t fault any of it. Best Indian food I have had to date . Lovely flavors ,nice work chef .

Went in to labour after eating this lovely food - thank you!

This is the first time that we’ve ordered from here but it won’t be the last! Absolutely delicious food and plenty of it.

Not full menu being served and was not informed of this when booking however food was amazing, there was a long wait however for food

Wow have lived in folkestone years and weve only just tried this place caught it before closing sunday evening the food was absolutely delicious delivery driver was very polite and friendly and apologetic at a chefs holiday abscence we will definately be ordering again and visiting the restuarant asap new fav place :) highly reccomended

Great food and service at a reasonable price. Will definitely be back.

Great authentic Gurkha menu, beautifully cooked and polite staff .Will definitely be back

Would recommend the Kathmandu curry.

Excellent Nepalese food. 3 miles from Eurotunnel so very convenient if you have an hour or two to spare and want a good meal at a reasonable price. Parking difficult, mostly on the road, you have to look.

Outstanding food. We ordered quite a few chicken items including wings, chicken tikka, chicken biryani, etc. Every single item was delicious.

Nice food but one order wrong katmando curry for my wife was chicken but we ordered lamb

First time ordering from Lemon Leaf. Food delivered on time, really hot and very tasty. Will order again.

The Shangri La chicken was very disappointing, 3 tiny pieces of meat and a carton of sauce! I will hesitate before ordering food from here again.

A local favourite of ours, this restaurant serves consistently excellent food by friendly and welcoming staff.

Very very disappointing, food was cold and tasteless. No flavour or spices whatsoever. Chicken only just cooked. Greasy and inedible. Will not be ordering from here again.

Have been here several times now and the food is fantastic. Friendly staff and good value. Have been back several times and will come back again.

Yummy food always order from lemon leaf just love them

normally like lemon leaf and always have the lamb madras,, however this time it was as hot a vindaloo. I we couldnt finish eating it was so hot. the Lemon rice had no lemon flavour at all, more like a yellow mustard rice.... very disapointed ...

Absolutely delicious as always. Best samosas in town and curry with complex flavours not just a big bit of chilli. First class

Excellent meal, everyone enjoyed it.

Food always nice staff very good and happy great prices a definite try

Really delicious meal, never disappointed by Lemon Leaf. Reasonably priced and arrived when expected thank you

I ordered 1.5 hours before but still no delivery. Just it shows order delivered but I have not received it. No one is picking my call. Really frustrated and disappointed with lemon leaf.

Expected delivery time 18:10. Just Eat incorrectly reported food had been delivered at 18:05. After two calls to the restaurant, the food eventually arrived at 18:52 - over an hour an a half after it was ordered and over 40 minutes after the latest estimated delivery time. Its a shame because the food is always very good.

I love this place, the food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Totally amazing food and really tasty. Thank you

If I could I would give zero stars. Placed an order direct onto their website. After 1hr 30 mins I called to ask about where my order was. Bearing in mind they said on their website that the order would be delivered within 50 mins. I was told that the order was on it's way. Called back a further 30 mins later and was once again told that the order was on its way. Another 30 mins goes by, I call again and was told that the order had been missed in the kitchen and if we still wanted it we would have to wait a further 45 mins. I asked for a refund. Will never be using this restaurant again

Food was luke warm to cold! Chicken tikka masala and rice was unbearably sweet. All I could taste was sugar and coconut. Momo’s fell to pieces when picked up. The only good things were the naan and keema naan but they were also cold.

Most of it was Lovely food as always but i ordered masala chips as I’d never tried them before and they were really disappointing. Kebab shop style chips that were soggy by the time they got to me. So they went in the bin but all the other bits I ordered were spot on. Plus they gave me complimentary rice and poppadom which I hadn’t ordered so that was nice

Food actually quite bland and chicken tikka masala was like korma. Same sauce on a broccoli side dish.

Absolutely delicious! Better than all of the standard Indian restaurants in Folkestone where all the dishes taste the same! The Nepalese dishes really stood out! So much flavour! And being a vegetarian with very little choice usually, I was thoroughly impressed with the options! The vegetable byriani was delicious! The chana masala was the best I’ve ever had! Only thing I do have to say is that the Tarka dhal needed more garlic and a touch of salt. Cannot wait to order again!

Won't order again the food dry and bland

Dansak wasn't great, bit watery, not as hot and sweet as other places. Butter chicken and momos were excellent, so all is forgiven. Will order from again

Never tasted meat dishes as suculant, tasty and fresh as here. Very attentive staff and good value for money. Would definately recommend .

Had dinner there last night and the food was amazing. Staff was friendly.

Lovely food and friendly attentive staff

Always delicious and food arrives hot. Always polite delivery drivers too.
