St Lawrence Tandoori Takeaway in Thanet

Got takeaway delivered last Sunday, worse chicken masala ever. Would have sent it back if eating there. So much sauce tasted like tomato ketchup and running in grease. Will avoid now.

My family has a wedding there The food was brilliant

Amazing food and very good service. Definitely worth the money.

This place is our go to for takeaway Exceptional Service and Exceptional food .... But parking nearby is limited...

We took a vegetarian take out on the way to railway station. The food was amazingly tasty and hot and fresh. We requested to prepare food within 15-20 mins as we had a train to catch, the owner graciously accepted and provided well within time. Taste, quality, value for money, customer service all 💯

Use to be good last meal poor luke warm tasteless

Went last night and had the £14.95 set meal menu We had some left over and asked to take out but they said on the set menu because it’s cheap u cannot take away leftovers ? I said but we have paid for it but they just took the food away to throw in the bin Unbelievable Been going for many years but will never go back now

Great food polite service, 5star ..will dine there again.

Really nice food and reasonable on the price 100% would eat here again.

Went for a family birthday meal food was nice but lacking on temperature. Strong odour of sewage in the restaurant , denied by staff saying it was outside yet they open front door to blow smell out. Ladies toilets disgusting and blocked. Towels on the floor covering the bottom of a door aswell. Seemed a bit strange! Definitely won’t be going back again. Took a cake, but brought home to eat as couldn’t bare the smell!

Dined with colleagues for a midweek early evening deal, first visit for most of us. All 7 of us enjoyed everything we had, delicious food, good value, good service, nice venue, very clean, modern interior. Will return and happy to recommend 👍

Ordered a takeaway, ready on time and the food was excellent.

Went out for dinner with friends and had a table booked here . Service and hygiene levels superb . Love the Indian dishes and the aromas do not like really hot dishes but what a fantastic meal .

Had people over for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We ordered at 5.30 as soon as they opened and was told 40 mins. After and hour and 10 we called to be told they were busy and it was on the way! Another half an hour later still nothing so called back they were quite rude and just saying they was busy!! Which isn’t really an excuse. But told it was on way again. Another 20 mins still nothing. By this time we’re fuming and was told they had done to the incorrect address even though they knew the post code. I called back and said this was unacceptable and all they kept saying was they are busy 😡. I asked if we was getting any discount as we had spent £75. He replied £3 jokers. Well the food arrived after 2 hrs and 5 mins. To which we paid £50. The food was average not much flavour and the 12 popadoms we ordered were 2 smashed ones. So I called back and he said free next time 🙈. Honestly do they think we will be back. Better Indian takeaways around with better service

Food is good, reasonable priced

Ordered 6 items and only 4 arrived, called them asking for the other 2 and they turned up 45 mins later with 1 of 2 items but i couldn’t be bothered to call them again. 20 minutes after that they called me saying I need to pay them 5 more pounds!! For the things they just dropped to me? So yeah whatever I wasn’t even going to argue and then when they arrived they asked for £6.. I said this is ridiculous I don’t even owe you money and this isn’t my mistake and she says yes it is 😐

A firm favorite for the last 30 odd years and food quality is always good however, table service was not as good as normal waiting an hour for food, which could be from the increasingly popular take out service, watching loads going out the door but not landing on the table in front of me.

We have not been for many years after moving away. We had booked a week before or visit, when we got there staff were not very welcoming! They didn't listen to us when we said we had booked a table, no staff bothered to look in a diary! We were given a table that was in the main walkway from thw kitchen and two of our party were 'in the way' the whole evening. Staff seemed to be confused whilst we ordered drinks OR food. When the food finally came they had the wrong dishes and we had to wait for the correct ones. The food itself was good! Very tasty dishes and plenty of it. Not sure we would visit again...

Had food poisoning for the last 2 days. Pompodoms tasted of dirty oil. Paratha far too greasy. Not sure if vomiting came from rice or meat dish. Something not right here at all. Not happy.

Korma was too thick and sweet so didn’t eat it. Dry chicken. Eating in and paid £5.90 for a pilau rice which is excessive! Luckily I checked the card machine before I tapped because they tried charging me an extra £4 on top of everything. Wouldn’t try again.

Really nice food and good service.

Food never turned up, after waiting 1hr 30 we had a phone call saying it had been delivered to the wrong address - clear lie as we ordered over £50 cash delivery I highly doubt someone would take a random Indian order at that amount.

Don't bother with delivery Very late delivery, 45-60 mins quoted, became 1h45m. Food barely warm when it arrived, requiring 10mins in the oven just to get it edible and the naans less soggy. Left 95% of a rather iffy smelling Prawn Dhansak.... I do hope the prawns weren't off, but time will tell....

Very nice food. Would recommend.

I ordered a delivery of my favourite dishes and they were all the best I had had. The dhansak was especially good. And I'll be eating it for days.

Main dish missing for take away order. Called to request this missing curry be delivered and they hung up the phone mid conversation stating no drivers. Remaining food not very hot. Not the first time. Shame, won't use again.

Food was amazing but service was poor. Waiters didn't seem to know what was going on and food arrived in the separate occasions 7 mins apart.

Our favourite Tandoori in all the land, I think we've been enjoying their food for near on 20 years! The food is out of this world. It is always so beautifully flavoured and arrived on time, piping hot. Their customer service is brilliant and we love eating at the restaurant just as much.

Amazing food , nice staff and comfortable seating . Very well done ✅

The food in this place is so very very good, the best Indian I have ever tasted.

Nice flavoursome food, friendly service, quick turnaround.

We have eaten many times at this restaurant and it has always been very good. Tonight, however, it was better than it’s ever been, and upon enquiry, we were told they have a new chef..great job!

Every dish ive had from this restaurant has been amazing!

Superb quick service, good value for money, friendly staff & really tasty curry. The lamb jalfrezi hit the spot, nice and spicy!

The Best Curry House Around And Excellent Service. From staff .

Great staff very welcoming and the food is awesome

Ordered a takeaway the other day best curry in my area by miles the Chicken Tikka Dhansak was off the chart 10/10

We had a meal delivered last night within about 15 mins of ordering it. This made me a little suspicious, how was it so quick! The food was stone cold. I had to reheat the chicken curry in the microwave. The sauce on the chicken was very powdery like. It all went in the bin. A total waste of £33 and will not buy again. Really has gone down hill.

Used to be good place to go. Gone down hill fast. Ordered take away, got home and cold and part missing, phoned them and told make it up next time. When I went to get another take away I told them about phone conversation and they just said nothing. Got home and again cold and part missing.

Three times in a row the food has been unbelievably late (30 mins after there latest estimate) and cold. We had to microwave stuff to eat it. Taste is ok but will not give them a fourth chance. Every time they have an excuse.

Had a great takeaway easy to order delivery on time. Wonderful tasting food, would recommend any time.

Only had takeaway but excellent food pipping hot great service what more can you ask for

Awful ordered a take away via just eat at 7pm , meant to arrive by 8.30. It hasn't arrived nobody is answering the phone or replying to messages it is now 9.57 and still no food. Incredibly disappointed appualing service. Quick to take the money but not deliver. Will never use again or recommend.

Orders 2 meals through just eat from here at 19 15 they said delivery would be at 2020 rang at 2115 still no delivery they said would ring driver, at 2145 still no delivery tried to ring no answer, 2215 contacted just eat to cancel and they said order had not been up dated, so we asked for refund which just eat promptly did.

Absolutely delicious food. Great service. Perfect!!

We use this restaurant regularly and they haven’t the decency to let us know they would be over 2 hours late and counting for food. Very Bad service especially for repeat customers!!! Kumars all the way😡

Food ok it used to be much better

Ordered off deliveroo today. Had items missing from delivery so contacted restaurant to rectify. The restaurant was not interested keep saying my order number was not there. I gave them my address saying they have just delivered to me. They were not interested. Very poor customer service will not be buying food from here again which is a shame as I have been into the restaurant and had takeaway from here before. There is no excuse for poor customer service.

Brilliant service and delicious food

My partner is a huge fan of this place and I am too, just can’t eat spicy food as much as I used to. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food a delight and their service is great too. They had a set menu on Christmas Day last year as well.

Great service and wonderfully tasty food.

Lovely food but can wait a while for it to be done.

Have eaten here or used the takeaway for many years, good Indian and welcoming staff

Good food and hard working staff

lovely decor,clean restaurant been there few times never been disappointed always service was good and food is delicious specially tandoori items 👌

Delicious food and great customer service with a pleasant seating environment. New to the area and decided to try how good the food was compared to London. An easy 5 Star due to the lovely flavors and presentation.

Good food, good atmosphere, swerve deliveroo though unless you want your meal mixed at bottom of bag.

Lovely food, reasonably priced and beautiful decor. Staff are very good and polite.

Awful and stressful experience. The food was lovely but they clearly cannot handle a lot of custom! We wont be going there again, it was a huge put off

This is our local Tandoori restaurant. Whenever we fancy Indian cuisine we go there and we are never disappointed!

Great service and excellent food.

Excellent service and food. Food all freshly cooked and good portions.

Excellent food and service would recommend

Staff slightly surly not particularly friendly. We waited a long time to have our main order taken and my dish had the heat of a Madras curry rather than chicken jalfrezi and could not eat much of it. Complained about it but no refund or recompense offered. Would not go back again.

One of the best 2 Indians in Thanet 👌

Just had a takewaway.. Tasted really good but a little disappointed with the special tandoori chicken biryani.. Not exactly much chicken in it just little bits of shredded chicken..

Excellent food and service. Staff really friendly and polite. Went for valentines night, great value for money.

Very good food but had lamb balti tonight and disappointed as normally its excellent, very bland. Will still use them again.

Brilliant food and service, thanks

Very good taste food best around in my opinion just been refurbished nice staff

Hi, food is great, people are lovely, very polite & helpful. We. Always go there. X

Just had a lovely meal .wouldent go any ware else ,ty st laurance tandori for lovely service and a wonderfull mal

Excellent food and great staff 😁

Fabulous food. Good service. Has been refurbished and looks nice and contemporary.

Excellent service good food and nice atmosphere. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Had a wonderful meal here. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Food was served to us in a timely manner, but this is NOT a fast food establishment. Be patient. Refurbishment of the restaurant has been tastefully achieved and the softly playing background music added to the experience of eating here. No hesitation in recommending this tandoori.

Excellent and clean sitting area nice staff and good food!

Not bad but there are better curry restaurants not too far away.

The first time we've been since their refurb, and we must say everything about our visit was excellent. Food was tasty and hot and the service was spot on. We took our 9 year od son, and they were very attentive and good with him to. Definitely would go back and eat here again.

Excellent food absolutely amazing & really good service 5 stars

The refurbished restaurant is nice and as always the staff very friendly and accommodating the food was delicious but had to wait hour and a half for main course which was put on the table with no rice and had to ask where the rice dishes were

Late night curry and beer lovely food

Been here several times and food has always been excellent with great service. The new layout and furnishings make an already great restaurant greater. I Highly recommend this restaurant.

Phoned through takeaway order and was informed by staff to collect at 8 pm. Arrived at said time and waited another 20 minutes before food finally arrived. Disappointed with service.

Great food and good service will definitely be going again luv it

Just had the most amazing lamb phal with chilli cheese naan and coconut rice. The meal was awesome with friendly quick service. For the last 15 years St Lawrence has never served me me a duff meal and today's was a peach.10 out of 10.

Love this Indian and it is local.

Food was cold. Seemed more interested in doing take aways

Despite being really busy the food and service was great. Very extensive menu.

It's great and it has very good refreshments and food

Great food reasonable price. Very helpful staff

Friendly staff. Food was nice and not to long a wait

Nice local indian good food and service

Visited as a close by Indian and I was impressed. Found some car parking a couple of minutes walk away. There is a small bar and waiting area at the far end of the restaurant where you can order a take away. Menu is fairly priced, took about 20 mins for the food to be prepared. There was a nice Indian smell and the background sound was at an acceptable level. Lighting was relaxed, with coloured LED's giving a good atmosphere. The take away was good quality, Chicken was nicely cooked, and flaked when put under pressure, rice was very nice. My normal of chicken naga was spot on, good taste, sauce was thick and they passed the food allergen questions with ease. I will defiantly be back with the family.

Food is aswell spot on!! Go here time and time again

Long wait for service, nearly an hour to order.

Lovely bit of grub... Nice and clean . One of the best in thanet

Best Indian restaurant in Thanet

Have been coming here for 20years but I won't be going back in a hurry. Last night food was slow (despite being deathly quiet) and when it arrived bits of our order were missing and the quality was poor e?.g. vegetable curry with no noticable veg. Such a let down.
