Melad Tandoori Restaurant & Takeaway in Maidstone

Delicious food, staff are attentive and polite. Reasonable prices (budget for 25-30 person, then add drinks) - the restaurant is well presented and very clean. We will definitely return, the 4 of us had a lovely meal. It was also nice and quiet as we went on Sunday night.

Lovely food, very friendly staff. Would thoroughly recommend!

Got a home delivery, food very good and hot on arrival, but very small portions for the price.

Had a good meal here. Restaurant is nicely decorated. Slight confusion over the order. The owner is a bit too bombastic if you are looking to be left alone. Great they have Bombay Bicycle Club beer. Food was fresh and tasty but portion sizes are a little small.

Went here today for my sons bybrst Indian I have ever been in can’t wait to go back

Wonderful soul night at the Melad! Great friendly service, superb food and top quality entertainment! Thank you! 👏👏👏

Good curry takeaway place, food arrived warm and was tasty 😋... (atmosphere is 3 stars because I don't know what it is like since I did not go to the actual place) would definitely recommend

Totally overpriced. Had a pop-up at a local pub for an England game. £14 for what essentially was a starter. Save your money.

Tried the takeaway in Aylesford a few weeks back and loved the food, so decided to try the sit-down restaurant in Barming. Not disappointed at all. The setting is really nice, the staff attentive, but not in your face and the food was wonderful. We have a new local favourite. So much more choice and flavour than other local places.

The food was nice but got cold very quickly. This was because food was served without a hot stand to put your food on. I did tell the waiter the food wasn't very hot, but I don't think he understood. Also, our table was in direct line of the door, and there was a chilly draft coming in. It was very busy, so there were no alternative seats. Not sure I will return unless the food is kept hot.

Take away best we have had in years meal for 2 quick delivery ,will order again.

Last month I have dinner food was excellent Nun bread was excellent unfortunately service was very bad. I recommended food very good I wish they can improve service.

Great atmosphere, great service, food was amazing and Raj was absolutely amazing, great advice on dishes and was such a lovely person, I'll definitely be recommending this place to others. Thank you. 😊

ordered online at 7.13pm waiting for 1.45 hours until I rung and was told leaving now, rang back 2.30 hours and was told if nothing in 10 minutes ring back for a refund guess what I rang back for a refund. waiting for my refund not happy won't be using again but might try a sit down DO NOT USE FOR DELIVERY. update: I did get a call back to process my refund waiting for the money to hit my bank.

Ordered food online to be delivered waited over 2 hours and food never showed up. Called up the restaurant and we was told it would be 15 mins so waited 30 mins still didn’t turn up. Called up again and cancelled the order. So can’t comment on the food as we never got it. Very disappointing.

This is my first visit to the Melad Tandoori Restaurant, having visited a few years ago when it was under different management. Walking into a restaurant and seeing plenty of people dining is always a positive sign. I am pleased to say that my two guests and I had an enjoyable experience. The cleanliness and attention to detail with the décor was excellent, including the men's toilet. The food and service was also to a very good standard and will most certainly return in the near future. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Food was divine. I will be coming back. I would suggest menu with dietary labels to make it easier for the customers.

Excellent meal and absolutely wonderful service. I highly recommend Melad and I am delighted to have chosen the restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s wedding (please note note a quiet event). Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Thank you for a lovely evening:)

I had a fantastic experience The staff are amazing The food is amazing I had a brilliant evening.

Really lovely dinner with lovely service, food was great!

Really good place to have a party

This place was amazing, service was absolutely fantastic. Staff were ready a waiting on us hand a foot, food didn’t take long at all and was absolutely amazing.we had Lamb pathia and papri butter masala with special fried rice and Bombay aloo. Everything was outstanding. Cocktails were delicious. Will be returning very soon

Amazing food with amazing service from the second we stepped foot into the building. They made me my fiancé and little one feel welcome. They are very polite and at the ready for you service 10/10 all round lovely place to come to will be returning very soon

Real gem of a find in Barming. One of the better indians locally with a really wide and varied menu catering for all.

Friendly, personal service. Great food thank you.

We had a lovely meal with friends. All of the dishes tasted amazing with fresh ingredients. The staff were friendly.

Really stunning restaurant, first time visiting after having many takeaways.. wow was delicious. Would recommend and will be definitely come back.

Great food, friendly staff, good parking

Food is delicious. Food quality very good. All stuff very helpful. Big space car parking

Just had first takeaway from here and we're very impressed. Excellent food

Lovely food Can't be helped by its busy location but the food is lovely

Great food, very authentic and restaurant quality for a takeaway.I would recommend the green chilli massala

A little warm place with a good ambiance. Pros: The food was very delicious, and we got correct portions. The staff was very friendly and we didn't have to wait a lot for anything. Everything was nice and clean. Cons: Because of the limited space in the restaurant the tables are very close to each other therefore you can feel the place sometimes too noisy. A little bit expensive, but still affordable. Will we visit again? Not too often but definitely yes.

Always nice food and friendly service

Great curry house, good food, with many options. NIce friendly staff, and service was quick without feeling rushed. Good time was had by all.

Great food but hurried to order, eat and have their table free. Will stick to their Aylesford takeaway as 30% cheaper...example Methiwala chicken £9.50 takeaway..£13.90 eat in!!!

Had dinner with family. Food was delicious. Ample parking facility and great atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant Decor very nice. Lots of helpful staff Vast menu, good food Good wheelchair access Would go again

Absolutely diabolical take away from here. Was cold, tasteless ,meat was chewy .naan bread was soggy. Worst indian ive had. Was trying to solve it amicably with the staff and manager who did not want to deal with it. Kept cutting me off and spent half an hour on phone trying to sort.I dont often leave reliews but this was shocking.

To be fair It was a takeaway that I ordered on site and waited. I ordered lamb madras keema naan and mushroom rice. Had half a cobra whilst I waited. £20 it cost. Got home and it was chicken. Wouldn't have been the end of the world if it wasn't as tough as old boots. Really poor and disappointing 😞 Over priced and poor experience. I'll stick to Katmandu or gurkha in future.

A wonderfully decorated and atmospheric Indian restaurant with A+ service and food. Cocktails were lovely too! Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Ordered as a takeout, lamb biriani, chicken tikka balti and lamb tikka rogan with paratha, naan and starters. I didn't dislike the food, but I am originally from India and wasn't that impressed to give it 4 stars, so my rating was 3 stars. I have dined in Brick lane which is 5 star ratings so maybe I'm harsh. I am keen to try more hotter dishes like Dansak and goan Xcuti next time. I definitely will not be ordering the paratha again, it looked like a chapati and my home made ones are better.

First visit since it changed name, so were hoping for the same quality as before, and we weren't disappointed.

The staff are amazing, so welcoming, friendly and work so hard. The food is always cooked to perfection, the bar area and restaurant so clean and well maintained. Highly recommend you book a table in the restaurant.

Excellent meal this evening while catching up with old friends. Thank you.

Very accommodating for a walk in for 2 on a busy Saturday night. Food very good and great selection to choose from. Would of liked a larger naan for £4.40 and rice overpriced with Pilau 3.80 but tasty

Brilliant food. Brilliant staff. Brilliant service.

Best Indian we've had in da 'Stone. Arrived hot and tasty. Thanks!

We had such an enjoyable experience here! I have never properly tried Indian food, so if you’re starting out like I was then I would definitely recommend trying here! The service staff are exceptional and were extremely attentive to the needs of their customers. We had the cobra beers (highly recommended with a Balti or masala). The food was exquisite and the spice level was just right! They listen to food requests (such as taking out certain foods) and checked back in with us! A cute little place with great service and food! Thank you for the hospitality!

We went there for my daughter’s birthday dinner, the food was poorly made and they charged £10 for 4 papadom. The restaurant was too expensive and not worth it, the owner was so rude as well.

Excellent authentic flavours and extensive choice, great atmosphere and friendly staff, highly recommend!

Just had takeaway delivered.. wld recommend.. food arrived hot, on time, correct order taken, good price.. will try sit down next time👍well done & thanku

Excellent all over, service good, food great and atmosphere good

Best night out. Food was amazing and the staff were so funny and spent time at your table just making conversation. Thank you Melad, you have a great team.

I love it here.🤟 Great experience in this wonderful restaurant. Exceptional vibe in a retro decorated venue. All the dishes were very well made. Big choice of cocktails/Mocktails and Chef's Specials. Great value for money on a day with the RANGEELA special deal with very good quality food and quantities. Waiters are amazing, they really make you feel welcome and their professionalism is second to no one! Definitely will return for best food experiences & drinks. Well done MELAD TANDOORI go ahead and highly recommended. 🙌

We are curry club ninja boys, which escape from our wives once a month to discuss very important issues 😀 food was amazing, quick service and attentive on drinks lovely surroundings, friendly staff plenty of parking nice relaxing reception/ bar area, good selection if drinks, masala bombay potato's are out of this world 🌎 a very nice edition to our local area. On the higher end of price but we'll worth the money 💰 hopefully the standards will be upheld ☆☆☆☆☆

We really enjoyed our visit to the Melad, the food is delicious, service is brilliant, they really care about you and your dining experience

Great service, even better food. All staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Food was all cooked perfectly 100% recommend. 10/10

Absolutely amazing food & service. Sooo much of an improvement on the last business there. Flavours of expensive spices that other restaurants are leaving out. This restaurant is a must visit. Only negative comment would be we sat along the back wall where the 2 seat tables are bit too snug, they could remove one of the tables, for personal space.

No need to order Dessert separately coz the Currys will do the work for you. Too Sweet.

Fantastic food very friendly staff about time maidstone got a decent indian restaurant brilliant menu lots to choose from the papri butter chicken jalfrezi was amazing 👏 well done to all staff at melad

What can I say this place was amazing! Food was impeccable , atmosphere was great. Staff were really attentive & the desserts are to die for! Definitely a place worth checking out!!!

Amazing food, not had anything this good in a while. Service is on point and if you ask any staff for something, they're on it immediately. Couldn't ask for a better atmosphere, really beautiful place, nothing I've ever seen like this, deserves 5 stars

Miss the Taj, based on tonight. Unfortunately, inconsistent evening: - some tastey and spicy dishes - friendly staff - 40 minutes for a glass of water (asked 3 times) - incorrect food on 2 occasions. Rushed correct dishes which resulted in burnt food (lamb tasted like tough beef). Hope for better service when we next come!

Amazing food! Must try. Different dish on the menu than other places I have tried. Recommend to try Slyhety Briyani!
