Secret Spices in Thanet

Went with the family the service was spot on and very friendly, food was lovely and it was a birthday meal we went for and they played happy birthday and gave a slice of cake. Would highly recommend.

First visit to Secret Spices and definitely will not be the last. Service was first class and the food was out of this world. Portion sizes were spot on and the flavours were amazing. Definitely recommend a visit.

Amazing service very well priced as well as food being.I had a chicken tikka to start which was so nice and the chicken korma was the best I’ve ever had.The staff was very attentive and friendly will definitely be back again.

The food was amazing! The atmosphere was brilliant and the staff were attentive. I definitely recommend.

This would be the second time we were going there. Lovely food. Lovely service. Down side is that we had to take our own wine. Overall brilliant restaurant with good ambiance. Will definitely go back again.

The food is so amazing! Such good food for the decent prices! Good service, couldn’t never fault the customer service or the food! Would highly recommend.

Myself and my daughter popped in for bite on Tuesday 7th!! Was absolutely delicious! Mixed starter was very nice! My daughter had a chicken Bhuna, and I had the chicken Dansak! The Dansak was perfectly hot and spicy, and the buna so beautifully flavoured! The restaurant, isn’t lisenced, but you can bring your own drinks, for a surcharge of £4 per person for all you can drink!.. the staff were lovely and friendly, good value for money!…

Fantastic meal this evening, nice music in a lovely setting. Great staff and the food was delicious 😋 Definitely worth a visit

Been wanting to try this place for some time after hearing great t; and finally decided to book after reading about an unmissable offer for £10 pp. Received such a warm welcome and the staff were enthusiastic and welcoming. Some exciting dishes on the menu that were more adventurous than a normal set menu so was very pleased to get the opportunity to try new recipes. The portions were perfect; not tiny and not wasteful either; managed to (almost) clear our plates and every dish was cooked authentically and to perfection. Sadly we were too full to sample the desserts that sounded delicious, but that’s only more reason to go again, which we most certainly will. Such a lovely atmosphere and amazing food; can see why everyone raves about Secret Spices!

The food and service here was brilliant. There were 12 of us so a lot to serve but Raj was great and nothing was too much. Would highly recommend and would visit again!

One night in Margate, and where to eat? Trip Advisor suggests Secret Spices is #1, so must be a reliable choice. And it was. After a 20 minute walk in the rain my wife and I were taken to a warm corner and a table set for four (you always need space for an Indian meal). Service was efficient and friendly. The menu offered numerous items rarely seen elsewhere (venison, sea bass, beef, staff curry, railway curry, dangerous curry (!), and so on. We opted for the sea bass (delicious) and beef raunaq (melt-in-mouth tender). Sides of pilau rice, bombay aloo, okra, mushroom bhaji and a plain paratha were cooked and presented to perfection. The lack of an alcohol licence was a surprise but did not disappoint - coke and Appletiser worked well. If we return to Margate, we will be back to sample more from the imaginative menu.

We have just eaten the most delicious meal here. The food was beautifully cooked and so tasty. The service was also very very good. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Indian food.

We had another delivery excellent food as always our opinion is that its the best Indian food we have had.

We've been coming to the restaurant for the past few years, but haven't been for around 12 months. We needn't have worried that anything's changed, because as always - it was an excellent evening. Poppadum's and dips were fabulous and every person in our group of 8 had a different main course with each saying theirs was delicious. My sister in law (notoriously hard to please food wise) said that her lamb dish was the best she had ever tasted!! My nephew said his venison curry was the best curry he's ever had. As usual for me - I asked for a standard dish to be doctored to my taste, and they were only too happy to oblige. The result was a gorgeous curry that was just perfect to how I'd described it. Sides - all amazing and rice and naan just so tasty. The best thing overall - The service without a doubt. The guys made our evening so much fun with their warmth and good humour. Nothing was too much for them, and they were so attentive with their service. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!!!

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere. Perfect company. Would definitely eat here again. I would recommend

Food was amazing and service was so good! Really friendly staff and so understanding and nice to us when our 4 year old kept getting up and walking/ dancing around the restaurant.

The best Indian around , absolutely lovely food . Would highly reccomend . Will continue to keep coming here !!

Having visited Secret Spices on a few occasions now, I find myself finding an excuse to travel all the way from Dover, to Margate just to indulge in their delicious, great value food! Upon each visit, the restaurant has not been particularly busy - perhaps...

Really tasty Indian with excellent service. Participated in the £10 3 course meal. Superb value for good size portions and very tasty food. Highly recommended for a good evening out.

Lovely Indian with great food. We had paneer tikka which was lovely. The desserts were also top notch for an Indian as was the service!

Lovely food best curry in the area, helpful staff, wanted to try something new so had the railway curry which was delicious, definitely would recommend

We visited on 30/8/23 A family group of nine. We really enjoyed our food. We had exceptional service and surroundings. This really is an Indian restaurant not to miss. 100% the best in the area. We’ll definitely recommend.

We were recommended to come here by a local. Really great food and lovely staff. Just what we wanted.

Went as a group of 9, service was great, friendly and speedy. Food was delicious, fresh and hot. All staff were friendly and enjoyed a bit of banter with us....Dad jokes were happening!! Will definitely be returning, our new favourite Indian.

Amazing food, the cook is exceptional and everything feels prepared from scratch. I have been twice now and besides the sheer quality and authenticity of the cusine, I would have to say the prices are quite exceptional. This place is a real find!

Absolutely delicious food. The most friendly staff we have met in years. Definitely recommend and returning. Thank you secret spice.

The food is the best Indian food that I have ever had thoroughly enjoyed it will definitely keep visiting and will take the family

Secret Spices originally won us over with their sublime Signature Dishes section of the menu. We never order done their Classic section as every other curry house does these so why bother. Well a good reason why is because over the last year, we have...

Very good service and good food. No alcohol so be aware of that or bring your own with you. No complaints

Been there a number of times, and has always been thoroughly excellent. Lovely meal today. Warm welcome and attentive service. Would recommend to anyone.

Quick and polite service, lovely staff and amazing food. Definitely recommend. Had the korma with coconut rice and peshwari naan. Was so lovely.

Unbelievable Food and Service, so glad we come it was our 1st visit! And we will be back soon. Staff amazing and food yummy!!!

Absolutely amazing across the board. The food was tasty and plentiful, the only bad thing was that you end up eating too much because you can't bring yourself to leave any! The chef/s really knows what they're doing. The service is second to none, brilliant...

Great restaurant very friendly staff too overall good experience & great variety veg & non-veg selection

The first time we visited was when it first opened and it was outstanding. The second time however the quality and quantity was nowhere near as good you could tell everything was microwaved, should of got a takeaway and saved about £80 for a meal...

Always use Secret Spices when on holiday in Broadstairs. The food is simply the best. Had 4 deliveries to Broadstairs and each one was delicious. Thank you very much. See you next time we are down there.

Delicious food, especially the garlic naans Friendly staff, all in all a good time and we would highly recommend a visit

Had a take away delivered last night. I ordered the Dangerous curry (lamb) with rice , keema naan and 2 popperdoms . My boy had chicken korma and plain naan. We shared the other bits. The flavour was absolutely lovely, wasn’t too hot at all....

Unbelievable, the poppadums stupendous. Bring your own drinks, I’m battered. The biriyani was overflowing with aromatic flavours and smells. Keema naan different but dank. Service quality. 5 star!!!

It might be 15 minutes walk out of town but it is well worth it for one of the best curries you will ever taste. We hadn’t realised they didn’t serve alcohol but that was no problem as they directed us to purchase our drinks...

This is my second review, as its such a great restaurant it deserves another. Date night with my wife, met with a warm friendly welcome, served delicious food (railway curry is banging) not rushed, a lovely evening out. Warning if you want food that will...

Very friendly customer service and the food was amazing! so flavoursome and delicious, I would definitely recommend to everyone!

Came here with my family on a Saturday evening. The service and food was excellent. I highly recommend the dangerous curry and garlic butter aloo! Thank you Secret Soices, again, for providing such good service and food to my family.

We loved the lighting, tables and quiet friendly atmosphere. Food was beautiful and served very quickly. Very polite and helpful staff. We had great time there and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Thanks a lot for great evening guys.

The atmosphere was lovely and the lighting was beautiful! This is a non alcohol restaurant but they are happy for your to bring your own. The food was totally delicious and the staff were very friendly the food came quickly! I would definitely recommend!!

A first rate experience. Charming hosts, beautifully cooked and presented food and lovely atmosphere. A great find. Worth travelling for. Thankyou!

Fantastic curries! Had the railway curry and it was delicious. Staff are very kind and food was prompt! 10/10!!

Had been meaning to visit this restaurant for a while as had read good reviews. We were not disappointed in fact it exceeded our expectations! The helpings were very generous - we couldn't eat it all - and the food was nice and hot (can't...

We had recently had a take away from here and enjoyed that, so when the wife and her friends decided to go out to celebrate her birthday, it was decided that this was the place to go. The inside of the restaurant is very pleasant,...

Ordered chicken rogan josh, veg curry, mixed starter, secret rice and naan. Everything was cooked well and very flavoursome, the curries were aromatic and delicious. The tikka pieces were juicy and spiced perfectly. would definitely come here again when visiting the area

Great food. Great service. I like hot food and asked if the chef could do a Phall as not on the menu. Was no problem at all and the dish was delicious. Recommend this venue!

Checking the trip advisor comments on this establishment me and my wife who had travelled to Margate from Northampton was not disappointed at all the value of the meal was extremely good and the restaurant was very clean staff very friendly and accommodating we would...

We arrived as a family of six and hadn’t booked but were welcomed and seated within less than a minute. Fantastic, friendly and courteous service. The food was delicious!

We visited early on a Saturday evening and went for the £15 meal deal for 5 Adults. The service was brilliant and dishes excellent. Loved the dangerous curry. It is worth the 10 min walk from the seafront. Great value meal deal, starter, rice or...

Lovely environment and the best Indian food we have ever tasted served by friendly personable staff, and for a great price. The restaurant doesn’t sell alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own, and there is an off licence over the road!

Been here a few times before and the food gets better every time. The service is phenomenal and the food even more so…even though we came on an offer day they don’t change the portion sizes…currently sat here full and extremely satisfied! This is one...

Amazing curry ⭐️ Spontaneous night where we had the pleasure of enjoying a meal for £14.95 with a free bottle of wine!! Win win 😛 The food was amazing, the chicken melted in my mouth from the korma and the onion bhaji was cooked to...

We enjoyed the food - it was lovely! The service was also very attentive. The only thing I didn’t like was having a 12 percent service charge put on the bill automatically. I prefer to feel I can choose if and what I tip.

Have to say I was disappointed. The food was good but could have been hotter when it arrived to the table. Ambiance disappointing.A couple of the chairs were torn, staff were chatting in very loud voices, joking around and did not ask if everything was...

A lovely restaurant with great food. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Overall, had a great experience here.

Always guaranteed a great welcome and good service whenever you visit. With great food, guaranteed to make you want to come back.

Very nice food.Cutting back on meat in the curry meals and replacing with potato a bit disappointing. Perhaps this is due to cost of living crisis. Apart from that, delicious.

Fist time going here very friendly and welcoming nothing to much trouble service fist class and all food ordered very fresh and tasty cooked to perfection will definitely return and will try take way service first class

Super friendly service, nice ambience, and delicious food. Our go-to Indian restaurant whenever we visit Margate. Recommended.

Restaurant came highly recommended by a colleague and didn't disappoint. Friendly staff and prompt service. Food was great especially the family staff curry. Just bare in mind there is no alcohol on site but there is a shop across the road so no problem there....

Great restaurant, friendly service and delicious food. Staff attentive without being overbearing respecting our time to eat. Definitely be back again soon.

A great curry, not overly heavy and very tasty. Really like the idea of bring your own alcohol too, £3 a head or so. Naan was really great and onion bhaji starter was huge!

We visited this restaurant on a whim and were very glad that we did. The food was delicious and very generous portion sizes. Service was great, it was not particularly busy but we did go on a Tuesday night. We will definitely return soon.

Delicious food and wonderful staff. Came here for my birthday and it was a lovely evening would definitely come back again.

Thank you to Raj for excellent service, very polite and made us laugh. Food was also brilliant, honestly best curry I have ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Visited for an Abba Tribute evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was good and I think the best bhajis I've had for a long time. Service was excellent and prompt. Well laid out dining area. Also good selection of desserts which isn't always available at...
