Manisha in Medway

This just has to be the best ever dining restaurant in Medway taste way out of the world even better than any I had when I was in 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 India

I went to this very nice Indian restaurant in Strood in a group of six people and we all thought that the food excellent and the staff very attentive.It was very handy for the station as we had traveled to Strood by train.We would like to return to this wonderful place in the very near future and will highly recommend it to friends and family.

This is a great Indian restaurant - excellent food, service and atmosphere I highly recommend it

We’d had previous meals in the restaurant and they were good. The service was friendly and tasty food. Our takeaway tonight is one of the worst I’ve had delivered to date. I took pictures as I was worried it would do us more harm than good. Meat was dry, sauce was all oil, poppadom was annihilated and it didn’t taste of anything. Unfortunately it seems they are going the way of most restaurants that deliver and don’t care as long as they get paid. Absolute rip off!!

We came here for the first time last week. Fantastic experience. The food was out of this world and the service 2nd to none. Very well priced also. The soft shell crab is to die for.

Cheaper than the competition and equally as good if not better

Fantastic food with great service and lovely touches that make your meal special. Our second visit and it won't be our last. We'll done Manisha👍👍👍

Soaking wet, bland and salty. Shame. (Takeaway)

Extremely impressive food. Poppadoms cooked fresh. My dansak balanced saltiness, smokiness, sourness and sweetness perfectly. Other diners were equally impressed.

Great food, amazing garlic chilli curry - highly recommend!

Excellent taste of Indian cuisine as the food is constantly spiced. Excellent service with 5* experience and generously priced. I am so happy with my first visit and definitely we go again also highly recommended to anyone who loves spicy food.

Best food I have ever tried and the environment was so good and the waiter was so welcoming. Recommended

i went here yesterday with my dad and we loved it. really enjoyed it food was lovely and staff were so friendly will definitely be back

The BEST Indian restaurant experience in Medway, and possibly Kent! Thanks for your excellent service as always 😊

don't waste your money by marks and spencer's curry

Yet again incomplete order delivered! If you want what you order, I suggest you order elsewhere. Phoned up the moment it arrived amd was passed to three people with the manager arguing by the end. Lesson learned, I'll order elsewhere in future.

Total Perfection on a plate. Excellent service. The blend of spices and the standard of cooking made for some of the best dishes I ever have tasted. They may talk of layers and depth of on the T.V. but this place is the master of the art. A real delight for your taste buds. I am going to dream of their fish curry tonight, lucky me.

I have enjoyed several meals at Manisha. The food is excellent with many non typical dishes to choose from. Service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

Great service and great meal. Love it. ❤️

Would have been 5* for the food, but when we went through the takeaway, we were short of a naan bread. Good place for a curry.

Himalayas Chicken, My new favourite. Staff very friendly and helpful, even sung happy birthday to My daughter and brother with guitar and gave a little surprise cake with candles on. Been there several times over the last year. Highly recommend Manisha for eat in. Update. My new favourites King prawn for starters then main Tandoori Delight, Chicken and Lamb sizzling dish with onions and peppers.

Food was well presented and hot but the madras was very mild ? Maybe that’s how they cook them down south ? Was a shame really as service was excellent, the other meals we had were nice.

If you're looking for a varied menu, you'll find lots of dishes to choose from . The staff were really friendly. Great night out.

Absolutely brilliant food Excellent staff 10 out of 10

Excellent food, service, atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Very good food, attentive and freindly customer service and at a great price. A very good experience and sure to return.

First time there, food was delicious, service was great would definitely go back, had a great night!!!

Great food lovely little restaurant

Brilliant meal, as went with 20 people. Highly recommend

Lovely food and curtious staff.

Lovely food and ambiance with friendly and polite staff. Reasonable prices,high recommend it

Excellent food and attentive service

I hadn't been there for a while, some pals and I often pop out for a meal in Tuesday evenings and had not been to Manisha for a while, food and service were excellent, TBH the atmosphere was ok (there were just us and another table) still worth 5 * though), so will return again soon. Bill

Delicious food (from a big menu of options), brilliant service, spotless restaurant and great atmosphere.

Lovely and friendly best restaurant I’ve been in ages. Haven’t laughed like that in a long time. Will go again

Everyone is so friendly and there is a lovely ambience, the food is very good overall a tremendous night out ☺️

Everything about this restaurant is fantastic, fantastic service, fantastic food, couldn’t ask for more, my new favourite Indian.

I had a brilliant experience here eating delicious food and great atmosphere, including the service too. We will be back again.

In 1 hour and 15 minutes we received only drinks and starters. More than 2 hours later we got our mains. Insanely long wait times. Small interior with barely any seats, so it's not like they had lots of seats to cook for. Regardless of takeaway demand, they shouldn't be making customers wait for over 2 hours for food. If you can't deal with the demand, get better staff and improve kitchen layout etc. Expand the rear if needed. Naan were burnt underneath. One of the workers there made the excuse that, that's just how they are. After many complaints they still didn't fix the issue. They also missed a naan to be given to us, and were going to charge extra for one more. The last naan wasn't burn underneath and the waiter said that the others were burnt because there were 47 takeaways so the tandoor gets too hot. That's your problem to solve. Don't tell customers 'that's just how they are'. We're paying for eating there. Provide acceptable food. Your internal issues aren't our problem. Mains came out in a non sensical order. The whole experience was a mess. We were a table of about 17. All the curries looked identical. Not much difference in flavours between them all. Lazy typical Bengali restaurant. The bill came handwritten in illegible handwriting requiring the weird horrible waiter to have to go through it one item at a time. The main waiter, who you can identify as the balding, thin haired very low smv older guy, was rude, weird af and spoke to us like he was having a go at us and being bossy. Vile service. Fire him and replace him. But it seems all the staff are similar to him. Interior is decent. Chairs are very heavy and a pain to move which is an issue when you have children. One side of the chairs were against the wall and there were 3 tables pushed together, making it impossible for people on the wall side in the middle to get out without everyone on their side having to get up and move. Toilets have no locks. Insane. Locks are cheap. Install locks. Hot and cold water are separate. This isn't the 80's. Install mixer taps. Sinks are too shallow. Toilet floor was wet from most likely urine. Don't recommend.

Worst experience ever in life from a restaurant. Me and my friends had to walk out of the restaurant only because of the behavior of the staff. When we asked for a table the staff was like we were asking for his kidney. That too when the hall was all empty. No Wonder 😤

I have call the restaurant for order take away food first they don’t pick up my call when I call them again they was very rude it was a (male ) I have ask him nicely how are you etc and he was so bad think about if you go there for have a meal 🥘 that’s ridiculous customer service ,he ask me to wait and I was waiting nearly 10 minutes I can hear the background sound talking and laughing and doesn’t want to serve the customer then I have to hang up my phone call .I am never ever recommend to this place anyone in the future !

I have to say the French Algerian man serving the food, with the guitar, really made the evening. We had food from the moment we sat down. He was serving the entire restaurant almost solo. You would think he is the owner, but i don't think he is. The food was good and the evening was enjoyable. The only complaint is the drinks. The lady serving the drinks was so slow. It took probably half of our time there until our first drink arrived. It was a real disappointment. The mains arrived before the drink. If it wasn't for the French/Algerian man it would probably be a 2/3 star. The food was good and he made the evening.

Walked in on a busy Saturday night and managed to get a table, a friendly welcome was offered. Lovely food & great service. Our friend was celebrating his birthday so the complementary birthday cake was a great compliment after our meal. Will look forward to returning soon,

Excellent food very tasty. Outstanding service by the staff. Definitely go again and would recommend everyone to try 👍👍

Worst experience we had taking too much time to serve the dinner. Cleanliness tables. Worst behavior from staff.

They takes Too much time after order(minimum 1hour) very poor service.

Really bad experience After waiting more then 1 hour they delivered us starter we waste over 3 hour almost for food they don't have staff only 1 person for delivered food I suggest never visit again there if u have much free time then u can go 😉 there

Tandoori Delight was indeed delightful!!

Bobby couldn't have given better service. Food was lovely. We'll definitely be back.

Amazing food,best Indian meal I have had all year. Service faultless,attentive without being overbearing.

Ordered on just eat. It's The first time order from here. The meal was delicious. Will order again.

Really good Indian food and service here. Menu items look overwhelming but the waiters recommended us some items. Tends to be busy during meal times and will need to book a table. Loved it. Will visit again!

I visited this restaurant with my husband for the first time this evening. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and took time to chat with us. The food was delicious and priced very well. There were also nice touches like providing a free starter from the chef and finishing off with chocolates, lollipops and a shot of Baileys on the house. We will definitely be going back there again!

Me and my family whated manisha because my little girl was so ill. We couldn't go out to get. 1st the said the payment didn't go through but they didn't phone us to let us know... while we think it hads.. then we had to wait 2 hours for the food to come At this point we didn't get no apology. The food come all the way from Rochester to strood it don't take that long.... and when we got it . The container was hafe full. I didn't get my money back . I didt get no sorry from them. The food wasn't great at all.me and my husband was so disappointed in Manisha next time we know to get from someone else. Please spend your money on some where else. Which u get more food for the right price.

This is probably the best India Restaurant in Rochester. The food is amazing, staff friendly and the ambience is fantastic. Ladies and Gentlemen I recommend this Restaurant to you.

Very good good staff very efficient and very friendly highly recommend this place .

Amazing food and very friendly staff.

The first time going there tonight and had a great time. All the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was great with music playing and a member of staff playing the guitar!! All in all a fab night out and will definitely be going there again.

Best Indian in Medway . Friendly and food is amazing,

Very good food, attentive waiters who enjoy their job.

Great food, a very tasty chicken balti and garlic naan. Excellent service, and I think we'll be coming back in the future.

Wow great food and atmosphere great waiters. Food is first class and your made to feel welcome

A charming restaurant. Lovely, Indian home cooked food with a special touch of warmth and welcome. The waiters and chef take a special interest in their guests and the experience is complimented by the serenading 'Solo' , with his guitar and lovely voice. It's a gentle and warm place to be.

We had a mini works party here and the food was great, the service was great. All staff was friendly. Highly recommended. Small carpark at the back but other parking around if you don't mind the walk.

Waiter was totally uninterested in having us 😂. It's pretty cheap so you get what you paid for, a flavourless disaster. Also you can taste the rancid oil in the papadoms. Also had cheese naan which had 3 bits of cheese? Lamb tikka masala had probably the tiniest amount of coconut flavour you can ever have. Like what's the point even🥲. I Will not be going back again and I guess that's what the Waiter wanted in the first place. Sir if you didn't want us there could have just said that. There are far better places In the area. Try bonolota guys, it's literally up the road (they were closed when we went and that's why we decided to try Manisha). Very uninspired by you guys. Please try to better the taste guys. As an Indian I felt embarrassed tasting your food.

Excellent food and service, good prices and atmosphere, special mention to Solo our waiter who is always full of cheer and makes everyone feel special. The owner/chef always comes out to talk to customers and ensure that they are all having the best time and enjoying their meals, highly recommend

Dropped by to try after our usual Indian seemed to disappoint us, food was amazing staff very friendly definitely go back....recommended restaurant

Fantastic food and Fantastic service

Our usual Indian restaurant was closed. Power cut. Took a punt on a random from just eat. Wow this was very good indeed . Everyone enjoyed it, on time amazing food we were not disappointed. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you

Absolute delight. Great selection of dishes, including fish curries, with a wonderous Mackerel starter. Personally I went a bit old school for the main course, and opted for a Chicken Tikka Vindaloo, and it was the best 😘 Don't forget the waiters. Solo is the main man 👍

The food is first class, they even give sample foods. I will certainly return.

Brilliant restaurant, friendly staff

Considering there was 14 of us the chef was superb on the service given. Also the food was excellent as were the waiters.

I don't usually write reviews.. my friend recommended Manisha restaurant so I decided to take my wife there for dinner. We had a three course meal and the food was amazing! The service was great and staff were very attentive. We both left the restaurant very full. We will definitely be back again soon!

Quiet when we went. Very friendly waiting staff. Good selection of dishes for every pallet. Beer is from bottles and a tad overpriced but everything is going up. Nice authentic atmosphere and relaxing. Will be visiting again at some stage.

Fabulous in every way! Food was beautiful & reasonably priced. Our waiter was attentive, professional but also a laugh a minute. Will definitely be back!

First time ordering tonight and have to say food was first class. Delivered on time via JustEat and hot. Will definitely use again.

Lovely food and very good friendly service.

First class food and service as always

I ordered a takeaway from manisha's website powered by appy foods. The food did not arrive although the payment was shown as pending on my bank account. I called the restaurant 3 times each time the staff member hung up on me and said I must have ordered from another restaurant despite my screen shots and evidence. Outrageous customer service. Will take this further.

We ate here this evening. Gorgeous food as usual and excellent service. Thank you Ali.

May be the best Indian restaurant in my life? Amazing sauces and talkative waiters.

Great deal on Sunday. Great service and lovely food

Food is always top quality and good portions. By far my favourite place to order from. The dine in experiance is great too.

Customer service was brilliant, food was incredible. Absolute goldmine. Will certainly visit again when I back in the area with work. Soon I hope ;) 100% worth a visit.

Loved their food 😊 thank you and maybe next time will come dinne in

Good tasty food. The friendliest of staff welcoming and attentive.

Finally got to a restaurant to eat in, picked the right one here, excellent food, the Naga chicken was especially good, all well cooked and tasted fresh, highly recommended from a guy from Leicester, curry capital of England

Went here for the 1st time on Saturday. The food was very good, we were offered lots of free tasters. The staff were lovely. We will definitely be going again soon 😁

After trying most indian take aways in the medway towns we read the reviews on Manisha & thought we would try it, the gentleman who took the order was very polite & helpful, "WOW" we wasn't disappointed it was absolutely delicious my husband had chicken vindaloo & he said the chicken was tender & it wasn't a bland hot you could taste all the spices coming through I had chicken ceylon that was just as delicious the pileau rice was light aromatic and fluffy and the stuffed parathas were full of vegatables we highly recommend and can't wait for another one

The food is always top standard 👌

Absolutely fantastic What a wonderful restaurants Food is out of this world And customer service is 2nd to none

A very enjoyable meal very tasty this is the mixed platter

I ordered my food and when it came there was someone main missing , when I phoned the old guy on the phone was rude arrogant and did not want to deal with my order and said I did not order it but yet my food came to £40 just under , disgusting I will never use this Indian again , I was so disappointed as have used before and never had a complaint , but I will never use them again . Dissatisfied, disappointed, and ruined my night , cheers manish.

First time ordering from Manisha. Very good food would definately ordering from hete again .

Fantastic service and fabulous food. Will definitely go again.

The service was brilliant and very welcoming, the food was lovely and the prices very reasonable would definitely go there again and recommend to anyone

Fantastic takeaway, every dish was just amazing. We will return and can't wait to dine in. Update....now dined in, once again the food was excellent and great friendly service.

What a great restaurant this is. The food is absolutely delicious and so different. The menu is so appetizing and colourful you want to try everything on it. Lal the owner/chef is to be congratulated, his dishes are incredible. He even provided complimentary tasters and spiced nuts which were so tasty. All this served by one of the most hospitable hosts you could wish to meet....the lovely Miah. Thank you....

I made an order to collect and I turned up with my 8 year old sister to collect it and the manager was rude . He muttered to me and sister ‘pack it in ‘ in an angry voice . I then gave him a bad look to which he tried to correct himself by saying your orders being packed now We Will not be visiting again . Food was so so and doesn’t compare to other Indians in the area
