Margate Indian Spice Takeaway in Thanet

Came to Margate for a long weekend. We needed a bite to eat after a long drive and found Margate Tandoori. So glad we did. Had a sheekh kebab to share followed by a railway lamb (in hubby's opinion was the best lamb dish he'd had in a long time) and my Dhaka dish was very tasty too with perfect heat. As big foodies in Indian cuisine, this was a very enjoyable experience and would recommend to anyone.

Ordered for the first time yesterday from this place. We all had chicken meals, prawn meal, rice, bombay aloo, naans, and lots of sides. All were cooked well, not too oily, very nice. Will order from you again.

Absolutely beautiful food , excellent phone service,prompt delivery,I have phoned twice for compliments to chest ,so much food and fresh ,order again soon .thanks guys exceeding my regular ramsgate tandoori ( which is also extremely high

I will never eat from here again, i cut into the chicken to find large purple veins. The chips tasted like fish meaning the oil was old. Put us off our whole meal. And to top it off called the restaurant and they told me nothing is wrong.

Honestly the worst customer service I have ever recieved! Initially ordered via Uber eats and after waiting an hour and 15 mins we called the resturant to ask for an update (had to call 3 times before getting an answer) to be told our order was on its way. When it did arrive we recieved somebody else's order. Who had been waiting a similar amount of time as us, judging by the recipet. We then called the restaurant back and explained the situation, the guy we spoke to was apologetic and said he would remake our food and have it with us in 30 mins. Another hour later we call the resturant back (again, took multiple calls to get through) and requested an update, however, no one seemed to have any idea of the situation and we had to explain multiple times before being asked if we were sure we'd spoken to someone as the chef had no clue about our order. He then said that all Uber eats orders take at least 50 minutes and I had to explain again that at this point we'd been waiting over 2.5hrs for our food. At this point he became quite rude and said he would recook the order and deliver it within 15 mins. Our food finally arrived after over 3 hours, with no apology at all. Grateful to have so many other fantastic Indian resturants in the area as we definitely will not be using Margate Indian Spice again.

Best curry I’ve had in a long time! Naga was sensational! Thanks lads.

Buy chief special Lamb Curry. Loads of meat, no bones or fat. The lamb has a surprisingly intense flavour. Glad I bought a REAL curry! not a fake one 🙂

Vegetable dhansak was excessively oily and had Brussels sprouts, yes, BRUSSEL SPROUTS in it with basically enormous potato halves. I ordered mint sauce and got onion salad, poppadoms were passable but a bit soft. Coconut rice was okay. Really disappointed.

My regular. Fantastic food and quick delivery

Consistently fabulous food! This tucked away Indian takeaway restaurant isn't the prettiest shop in town, but please don't judge a book by its cover. The food we've had here is always delicious. We feed a family of four, for which I'd like to recommend the meal for two including the lamb jalfrezi and the chicken madras. On top of this we add a mixed Starter and two more papadams, this easily feeds two adults and two teenage kids a large meal for around £10 a head, delivered. Something for everyone on the menu here. Friendly staff, though we usually have delivery and quickly too. One further tip call the restaurant directly or use their website for discount.

Drunk or sober your food is delicious on time and in the money keep up the fantastic work, love ordering from you we always know the food will be of good quality thanks

First time having a takeaway from here and I have to say I am very impressed!! The food is lovely and will definitely be ordering from Margate Indian Spice again.

Good, spicy food in generous portions. Arrived hot and on time. Friendly delivery driver.

The BEST chicken tikka iv ever had. Will not order it from anywhere else again! So hot and fresh cooked to perfection! Delivery was fast and with a smile 😃

Absolutely awful. Worst onion bhaji I’ve ever had the misfortune of eating. Paneer tikka dry and flavourless. Zall Zall chicken curry all spice, no flavour and also very dry chicken, some parts inedible. Will never order from here again.

Very nice. Favoursome food. Good service. And a great 5 point hygiene rating. We have enjoyed 3 meals from here within as many months. Most enjoyable. Even more so as we can trust that's its hygienic after checking the food standards agency rating. Will be ordering again soon. Thanks.

Ordered in error as i mistook this for another indiam restaurant. Food was ok but very bland. Delivery time was quick.

Food was tasty, perfectly cooked

First time here.appears well run and very friendly helpful staff take away was very nice would recommend them

I and my partner really enjoyed our meal was very reasonably priced and cooked lovely will definitely order again soon

Really tasty Indian delivered on time will deff use again

First time we have order from here. The food was Excellent and the price very Good too.

Agree with negative reviews unfortunately.

First time I buy food there...yummy yummy 😋

Just ordered from here because our usual was closed. It was lovely!!! I don't say this lightly as I am a bit of a curry connoisseur! The korma was creamy, lamb madras was soft and spicy and the mushroom/onion bhaji were cooked well! All in all tasty, turned up hot and would definitely return! Thank you!

We had tikka masala with a unexpected color (picture), it was ok, but my partner had a tikka lamb dansak and it was terrible, the meat was so tough and overcooked. First and last time for us!

Great service and I’ve always been happy with collection and delivery times! Good food and good service

Lamb Rogan Josh and Peshwari Nan Bread at £11.10,a touch expensive but a very good size portion.The lamb was tender,and there were plenty of other non meat bits in the sauce.The Nan bread was of a reasonable size,a bit rubbery,but edible,I ate the full portion and was full.

Absolutely rank.. hairs in food so avoid this place and find somewhere eles.

This was our first time ordering from here, the food was lovely with a good variety with it being a set menu!... we will most definitely order from here again 🙂

I'm really surprised with the reviews left on here. Their food is really tasty mouth watering. Spice is on point, flavour etc. Staff are friendly too unlike other restaurants. Recommended.

Absolutely, gut wrenchingly horrible! I could get a better curry at Morrison for £3. I ordered Chef's Special Curry with lamb; it was a souppy mess. The sauce tasted like it came from a jar on the 'Saver's' shelf (overly sweet, underseasoned, no authentic flavours developed). It seems like the chef slopped in some cheap curry powder, a few slices of green pepper, some carrot (?), and handful of undercooked onions with some lamb pieces swimming in the mess. No authentic flavours, just some heat and overwhelming sweetness. I lived in London for years and ate hundreds of curries in better and worse Indian/ Pakistani restaurants. I can honestly say this was the worst curry I have eaten so far (and hope to never have one like that again).

Disgusting all the food into the bin

Absolutely lovely meal. Will now be making this my regular. Quick delivery to Ramsgate. Had tandoori chops, a lovely fish dish and rice. Will not be going elsewhere.

Just ordered a set meal for 2 and the meal turned up 5 min early and it was really very nice. We will definitely be getting another meal from them. Very nice indeed.

Worst takeaway we have ever had expensive for what we had my shashlk was tasteless with no peppers or salad my husbands lamb shashlik was no comparison to others he had at other takeaways very disappoint willnote using them again ever

Loverly friendly staff food amazing fully recomend .... great atmosphere , we as a family would go back to this exquisite restaurant....

Really great food at reasonable prices. Really like the flavours and it's not too greasy

Ordered a lamb butter & chicken pasanda, these turned up as two Kormas. Phoned the restaurant who were not helpful at all. The guy over spoke me and tried to suggest that I didnt no what my curry should taste like. Refused partial refund, and instead offered to replace one curry the following evening. Will not order from here again, rubbish service, and clearly can only cook a korma.

The food was amazing good price and the family loved it Definitely gonna order from here again from my house

Great service, nice place. Delicious!

One of the best takeaways in thanet. Never had a bad meal

Absolutely disgusting! Waited almost 2 HR for it to turn up stone cold, only had a few lumps of lamb in the curry, the sauce was like water, and wrong rice, never again!!

The food arrived on time via Just Eat and was of adequate temperature. However, although the rice was very pleasant the curry (garlic chilli chicken) had a very odd, sweet taste that was quite unexpected and not really very nice at all. Perhaps the chef was just having an off-day as the meal was an excellent price and apart from the sauce the rice and sundries were very tasty.

Had a delicious take away from our regular, food arrived with a friendly driver, food was hot and really delicious. Some indian food tastes the same but here you can really taste the different spices. Highly recommended.

I ordered through just eat and they sent it to the wrong address and forgot my drink not happy at all

Walked past this place tonight.. really friendly guys, they made me the most amazing chicken tikka wrap that wasn't even on the menu but made it for me happily. Think I might have to make a regular detour on my walk home from work 😍

Really nice food but very expensive

We always get our curry from here and the whole family love it! Highly recommend the Biryanis and the Madras.

Excellent food. The flavors were fantastic and it arrived hot. Highly recommended

DO NOT GO THERE.....order messed up when I ask for a refund because my meal would be cold when then replaced the missed orders he got angry he threatened the Police ... SHAMFUL I even said I was a first time customer he assured me it would be perfect... Yuck Yuck Yuck....AVOID AT ALL COSTS....

Fantastic food at a great price too 👍

Absolutely smashing food and the boss is a top lad. Thank you

Ordered through just eat.It arrived on time and was nice and hot.Food was very tasty.I had chicken shashlik, which is chicken, peppers and onion cooked on a skewer, from other places the veg has only just been cooked to being almost raw but these were really nicely charred and tasty.Have used them twice now and been good both times.Very good offer on as well, 20% off if over £30

Absolutly disgusting customer service!!!! We had a menu through the door.. we called gave the number for each food order and also the name of each dish. The food arrived... was completely wrong. We phoned and some employee in the background laughed was heard to be swearing that we had the wrong menu! My poor mum had to endure this absolutely despicable treatment and they refused to send us the correct food. They did not care. And the food they sent was not consumable. Absolutely poor customer service. No loyalty at all.

Waited over two hours for food rang shop all I got was your food left ten minutes ago and still had to wait will not use again very very disappointed if you want to wait ages get your food from here I’m going to shop to find out what happened would be quicker to order from Bombay and get it air freighted here

Ordered through Just Eat. Took 2 hours 10 mins to arrive. No initial email or text confirmation and when it didn't arrive, I checked with the just eat account to discover the restaurant had moved the delivery time back half an hour. When it didn't arrive, I called the restaurant and was told it was on its way. It didn't arrive for another half hour. Tried to cancel and get refund but it arrived. My husband took it and so they refused refund despite it being stone cold. Driver had apologised and said they were busy. Just crap all round. Wish we'd not bothered.

Staff absolutely inexperienced and rude. Would highly recommend not to order here on the weekend . Would apply no star if possible. Absolute disgrace

Been waiting nearly 3 hours for our food and still hasn’t turned up! Phoned restaurant 45 minutes ago to complain about the wait and the girl on the phone said ‘do you want your food or not’ apparently it’s on route somewhere!! Never using them again

Delicious tasting curry , fast take away, always pleased with the quick delivery and the tasty fresh food

Good tasty cooked to order food. Good range of dishes. Can be a bit of a wait but it's because it's busy... Worth the wait.

Just ordered from here for delivery very bland taste, also had to reheat the food in the microwave as it was cold when it was delivered 😒

Good Madras. Sometimes have to wait for delivery, still it's free.

Delicious take away food. Very pleased with speed and service and the food was delicious . We like curry’s that are not too spicy and the chef made the meal tasty whilst not being too spicy

Just ordered from hungry house app, the take away was delivered on time , was flavoursome and hot. Really delicious flavours and spices. This is now our new Indian Take Away. Good job.

2 hours late, missed items off the order, refused a refund, subpar food. DO NOT EAT HERE.

I wouldn't even apply one star. We waited over 2 hours for our meals, then when they arrived the order was incomplete. The restaurant then hung up on us when we phoned to complain. I'm a type 1 diabetic, and having not eaten this evening, I am not okay with any of this. Typically it was my tikka masala that was missed off the order. Yet their customer service was ATROCIOUS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

Absolutely great food couldn't fault it! We had takeaway of lamb korma, chicken tikka masala, onion bhaji, Bombay Aloo, pilau rice and peshwari naan, and every mouthful was glorious!

Avoid. Ordered my meal from here only for it to turn up the 'next day'. Very poor service. They also had taken the koney from my account on the night of ordering.

after ordering three identical meals on just eat tonight from this takeway was delivered with the wrong rice for one meal and broken poppodoms delivered via foot not car so food was cold at first instance. Called and was offered "sorting out the next time" we ordered which wasnt sitting right with us but ok was one rice and broken poppodoms so after serving the currys three kormas onto the plates and beginning to eat one of the family realised the chicken was partly RAW on examination of the other two meals we found the same raw chicken mixed with the cooked calling the takeaway again the abusive manager told us to return the food to him which my daughter did to be intimidated and verbally abused by him refusing to give a refund only offering a new curry NO WAY !!! this has put us off chicken for a while and worried about any later consequences of eating some ... anyway he took the food off daughter and refused to hand back to her as she told him we would go to the health inspectors he told her that maybe reason was chef has to cook fast for orders !!! this is unacceptable the chef then came out and he admitted it was not cooked after arguing the meat would come sometimes with red streaks in ....

Just started using this place and is most defiantly the best in Thanet...

Just had the worst Biriani ever from this place ! An insult to Asian food.

Avoid!! My boyfriend just ordered a supposedly non-spicy biryani for me from here I had one spoonful and had to throw the rest of my £10 meal away due to it being sooo spicy!! Phoned up and told they won't do anything about it! Not only a terrible meal but terrible customer service as well, not only will I never recommend to anyone but also won't be ordering from here again.

One of the very best Indian meals I enjoyed to date. Fabulous decor and very friendly staff. Truly an amazing restaurant.

Ordenados en línea, era 20 minutos más tarde de la hora estimada, pero vale la pena dar la espera, los tamaños de las porciones, sabroso y generoso le ordenar de nuevo.

Biryani era bien sazonada y cocinado a la perfección. Un paso de puerta Masala si quieres una buena comida hindú para llevar.

Took a little long but was certainly worth the wait. Very good food.

We ordered from here twice - Never again. The first order was disgusting. The onion Bhaji was so dry that they crumbled to dust. The Keema Naan had half the rubbery meat missing and the chips were rock hard and cold. Complained and got a free order. Ordered, at a later date, a medium spiced King Prawn Madras - what arrived was a Luke warm Korma, dyed red that still had the coconut in it! It appears the dishes are pre -ooked as they clearly couldn't have cooked this from fresh, just poorly adapted it. No complaint raised this time as we will never be returning.

We ordered online and paid by card only to receive a text message 30 minutes later saying the restaurant had declined our order without any explanation. We called them and were told that the restaurant was "too busy" to deliver. As it took them half an hour to bother to let us know we were unable to order anywhere else. To add insult to injury they took our payment and it will now take 3-5 days to give it back to us! Absolutely appalling customer service. This is not the first time they have done this to their customers. Read the other reviews on here, it seems to be a regular occurence. This was our go to Indian but they clearly don't value loyal customers particularly highly. From now on we will go elsewhere.

Where do i start! The food arrived for me to find my main meal was missing and so were the onion bhajis. Rang them and was told it would be with me with-in 20 minutes. After 30 minutes still nothing so i rang them back to be told the driver had left and would be with me any minute. 25 minutes later still nothing. So rang them again to be told sorry they took it else where and theyd re do it and send it now. I had an apoplogy but after waiting 50 minutes for my dinner i requested a refund. That arrived within 10 minutes!!

Me & my fella ordered curry and specifically told the man on phone medium currys, sauce not too hot . Well all I can say is awful! So hot we could hardly eat it and the chicken in my dish tasted funny! The thing is I've given this takeaway chance after chance and it always turns up rubbish! So no more for me I'm afraid!

Nothing out the ordinary, but never bad. they usually add free poppadoms. All the usuals you would hope for at reasonable prices.

The best curry takeaway in Thanet. Great food. Delivery can be a little bit slow on a Saturday night sometimes but worth waiting for.

Worst Indian takeaway I've had! AVOID! Took nearly 2 hours to deliver and even then there were missing and wrong items! Food was horrible and I was ill not long after eating. Restaurant refused to give a full refund. Won't be going here again!

There is definitely something different about this takeaway... there is a a twist to the food that makes it, in my experience, closer to the food you eat on the sub-continent rather than in the UK, and no worse for that. Generous portion limiuts too!

I ordered a take away with friends. After waiting two hours longer than the expected time of delivery (though i had phoned them plenty of times to hear the same "it's on the way now" lie) i was not happy to receive food which was cold, and also our sides missing. when phoning them to complain, they were not apologetic at all and whilst i was speaking they hung up on me. i wasn't unpleasant on the phone i just said i was slightly disappointed. Later when i showed my friends out, they had posted the sides through my letter box and hadn't rung me or my doorbell, this made a great mess all over my porch. so, if you like awful customer service, being hung up on, cold food and if you dogs like licking up the remains of cold bhaji, naans and sauce, this is your place. Truly Shocking

I ordered a take away from here for me and my partner and ordered two cans of coke with it. The take away was delivered and as we dished up our meals we realised we didn't have our drinks. So I called back and told them and they said they would call the driver and call me back. Well they never called me back and we never got our drinks. I would have cared if I hadn't waited 1hour and 40minutes for my meal and the drinks didn't cost 95p a can. So I won't be ordering from here again
