Tarana Restaurant in Medway

Food well under usual standard. Arrived late & barely warm. Second time for bad food from this place, won’t be ordering & wasting anymore money on food from here. SORT IT OUT!!

order updated and said it was on its way then received uodate to then say theres been a delay with it so it was then 30 minutes late, by the time we got it all the food was cold, food flavours were nice but cold

Fabulous food, speedy delivery.

Nice food, shame it was sent without the onions & salad mix as love that with the popadums.

Always good service here. Great food

our order took 2 hours (original delivery time was 45-60 mins) and when we tried calling the restaurant (and we called constantly for 20 mins) our call was never picked up. won't be ordering from here again.

Lovely apart from the sag aloo was stone cold, rectified with a min in the microwave. Everything else was good

Lovely food till I found bones in my lamb

Food arrived cold, delivery driver said he got lost getting to me. Food usually lovely from here but it was stone cold this time ☹️

The best Indian meal I've had delivered. It arrived on time and hot. The quality and quantity of everything was excellent

Lovely delivery man. Delicious food, very happy with our meal.

Very nice, garlic mushrooms were awful but the rest was nice

Me and my wife was in the greedy banker next door but was horrible dirty table rude women behind the bar and there charging £20 a meal so we left as money ain't s problem just sitting at a dirty table with drunk people next to us as we went outside we was this Indian restaurant went in was amazing seated us and drinks where there within minutes food was amazing server was brilliant couldn't fought this I'm coming back everymonth 100%

Service was pleasant but the food was average. However, it us quite evident that there are too many tables for the restaurant size, feels like rush hour on the underground. Impossible to enjoy your meal when people are forever bumping into you because there is no space between the seating.

Absolutely terrible service. Was told half hour to 45mins. It took nearly 2 hours. I phoned after a hour to be told it was on its way and still took another 45mins. In a car it's a 5min drive at most. DO NOT BOTHER it was not even worth the wait.

for the first time the food was below average . No real curry flavour in either of our dishes. such a shame as usually have really good food from here

Absolutely superb!! Couldn’t fault it. Highly recommended

We are visiting from Florida and were craving a curry. We picked up a take out last night. The chicken shashlik was delicious but the chicken tikka masala was disappointing and the chicken dopiaza was tasteless. It had no taste and no spice. Value for money was fabulous but taste was lacking.

Food was warm and lovely, delivery was on time. Food was great would order again

Food was hot and tasty, as normal

Ordered for delivery on Deliveroo it took 2 hours not the 45mins as stated on the app. There attitude was awful when we phoned to chase twice. They blatantly forgot the order all they offered was free popadoms. The food turned up barely warm, the naan bread was like leather, the asparagus was oily and barely fried up. We have eaten at the restaurant many times which is incredible everytime. We feel extremely let down by the delivery service. Disgustingly disappointed we won’t be ordering again.

Visited on the 27/11 evening ,6 other customers dining so not busy.Order taken by polite staff . I used the toilets prior to eating, which probably hadn't had a proper clean in a long while,the floors actually sticky, I'm presuming dried urine, they were also in poor decorative order, however hot water/soap and hot air dryer all ok. The meal itself was particularly (Dahnsak) underwhelming,lack of spice/ flavour ,a taste of 1 day old lamb.Bread, rice and sides ok. Left most of the sauce ,which had began to congeal with the excessive ghee used to cook with, not a good look. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant , for the cleanliness of the restrooms,or for the food. The staff and service very polite. I will not be returning.

Main course had a screw in the sauce, yes a screw!!. I found this in the dish and advised the waiter. There was no apology from the waiter or anyone else who worked there. They also tried to charge me for the full meal!!! They took the main dish off of the bill but quite frankly all of the meal should have been free. Won’t be going back to this place.

I did not notice until after visiting that this restaurant only has a 2* Hygiene Rating which is very poor. I visited with friends on a busy noisy Friday night. The food was very tasty and served piping hot and the service was friendly. The toilets were dirty and in desperate need of renovation. We enjoyed our night but until they refurbish the toilets and improve their hygiene rating I would not return.

The food was hot and really tasty.

Lovely curry, sag aloo was cold but we warmed it up. Not a big problem

Absolutely fabulous yet again, as fresh as could ask for and a great vibe within the restaurant. Thanks a lot👍🏼 I can recommend the prawn bhuna👌🏼

lovely food, and amazing service, amazing experience very quick and food hot, lovely staff would definitely come again

Lovely food can completely recommend, delt with a horrible customer to perfection after they complained about the food not being fresh .after the gaffer proved to the Karen that it was fresh she was clapped out the restaurant.

Great experience here tonight! We had a Karen moaning throughout the meal who got clapped out because she moaned about every single thing!! Our meal was lovely and fresh and great service and company 😊

Absolutely vile food delivery.tasteless curries hard chicken black mushy bombay aloo only thing edible was rice after spending over £60!!!!

Amazing food… fast delivery and good hot … have been to the restaurant and take away is just as good .. definitely our go to place for takeout definitely recommend

Order was very late and looked like someone had dropped it all contents were leaking out of every container

Have eaten here twice in the last few months and overall am not really impressed. The restaurant itself is really small with tables tightly packed making a very loud and hot atmosphere. However, it is the food which is a real letdown. The starters and breads were OK, but for the main courses everything seemed to lack flavour and just ultimately tasted the same – I think I sampled all of the main courses from our group and the sauce was near on identically bland . Also I found the sauces really oily and left an unpleasant taste in the mouth. On the plus side, the staff were really friendly and kept us topped with drinks, just sadly let down by the food. Unfortunately I can’t see me wanting to return here

Food arrived on time and was super hot friendly delivery driver. food was amazing and probably the best Indian take away I have ever had … definitely our new go to place

Menu was varied and lots of tempting food. Food came out hot and service was quick. Staff were incredibly friendly and chatted to us. The owner was lovely and took time to make sure everything was at its best. Other customers seemed like they were regulars while it was our first time. We will definitely visit again, and take our friends there too. Highly recommended for good food, and a friendly, warm welcome.

Terrible food cold tasted like it was off and had no spice to it at all. I could not eat much of it as it made me feel unwell. My wife also thought it was not good. I ate about one fifth before giving up on it . I have never written a review about a restaurant before and this is because it was so very terrible.never go there or eat there.

Fantastic, flavoursome dishes. Good quality tender meats. Really enjoyed our meal. 👍

Here we are again, great food and service. Thoroughly recommended. It is so nice to be remembered and welcomed. Will definitely be here again.

Food was cold and chicken was hard! Won’t use again!

Super service great food and fantastic service felt welcome as soon as I walked in

3 of us went here on a busy Friday evening. The atmosphere was quite rowdy and noisy but the curry was very good especially the Shashlick-E-Bahar. The garlic naan was excellent. The service was prompt and friendly. I would definately return.

Food was beautiful, still hot when received

Tarana has been a place we've enjoyed visiting from few times and we found this time we were a bit disappointed. Facilities in the main had taken a knock, we turned up and there was a damp smell when sat, which we found out was the toilets which are in a sorry state now. Food itself was good, service a little hectic without much direction due to large table but the staff did what they can to keep everyone happy. Service wise they were as attentive as they could be. We did find that drinks wise they didn't have everything on menu which is a disappointment when looking forward to it as they offered a good selection. Overall, good night out but will look other places in future. This place has lost a bit of its shine since opening unfortunately.

Place was very busy indicating that it’s good food , was not disappointing food was lovley (unfortunately through no fault of owners ,travellers shout abuse at staff) which was a little bit of an off put but meal was lovley

This is usually our regular but the last couple of times the food had been quite bland.

Ordered chicken and got lamb!!!

Never fails! Lovely bit of food

I ordered a meal from the Just Eat service which advised a delivery time of 20 to 40 minutes. The order was confirmed with a revised time of an hour. After an hour and 45 minutes I rang to ask where my food was, I was told it would be 10 minutes, I replied that this was unacceptably late and was told "don't worry about it" then the phone was hung up. The food was delivered 2 hours and 10 minutes after ordering. Poor quality food, Jalfrezi swimming in oil and the vegetable curry that came with the biriani was just onions and potato. Quite possibly the worst Indian restaurant in Rainham. Never again

Delivery took over 2 hours, when ringing to ask why I had not received my order I was told "don't worry about it" he then hung up. Food was poor quality. Jalfrezi swimming in oil. Vegetable curry with the biriani was just potatoes and onion. Possibly the worst Indian in Rainham based on the service and food received tonight.

Delicious takeaway from Tarana! Very good service from the delivery man

Poor Poor and really poor service. Chicken curry taste really different bad wise 🤮🤮🤮. I could write some other things even some pics you wouldn't believe.Anyway never again

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. Awful customer service. Ordered, called for an update and was advised I was the next delivery despite not knowing my address. Called 40 minutes later and was told they were too busy to fulfil my order. Hung up on me multiple times when I asked for my order to be cancelled on Uber Eats to avoid being charged for food I have never received. A same as me and my husband used to go here regularly - will never go/order again!!!!!!!

Good food but kept pushing back delivery time meaning our food took almost 2h to arrive from ordering. Food appeared quickly after I called to find where it was. More honest appraisal of delivery times required

The food was very tasty and we will surely order here again. Being a Saturday evening, delivery took slightly longer than expected, and the restaurant rang us to apologise, which we appreciated.

Very good food and their services. Highly recommended

Food took 2 hours to come then the delivery driver wanted me to come downstairs and walk up the road to get the food the they updated saying I had my food when I didn’t

all of the naan breads were burnt and taste terrible curry's were ok but our family meal was ruined by this won't be using this restaurant tatakeaway again very disappointed

Delivery was very late, I had to call the restaurant as it came up delivered! Even tho we have had never had this issue I had to instruct the delivery guy for like 6 mins on how to get to my house even tho it’s not difficult at all. The food was cold so had to heat it through and the curry’s we had had a layer of pure grease/oil which I had to soak up with a tissue.

Bland! Both curries lacking flavour and spice. The Bombay potatoes also had zero flavour and may have well been just boiled potatoes. The 'special' Jallashar curry also no spice or real flavour. It's quite something when the best part of your meal is nan bread! I requested partial refund due to food being delivered almost an hour late but was denied due to "restaurant being very busy". This is unacceptable bearing in mind I placed the order 2 hours earlier leaving so much time for preparation.

Lovely food - will order from again.

Fantastic food, best curry in ages, thank you Raj and team.

Always amazing, best eat in Indian restraunt in medway, at a price that doesn't break the bank.

We had a fantastic meal. Food very authentic and all plates were empty 😋

Food was really good, can't be faulted

Food arrived very quick but we are close by. Masala chips tasted like peri-peri seasoning. Lamb dish had a big layer of oil on top. Fried fish were soggy and greasy. Mint sauce tasted of nothing! To top it off, miserable delivery driver. Won't be ordering again.

Best indian in kent food was pukka all round *5

Food is outstanding, we have spent a lot of time going to many Indian restaurants in and around Kent and at last have found our forever Indian restaurant. The Chef (Shuel spelling may be incorrect), serves up my dish using tender lamb to my taste with perfection and my husband is equally pleased as the flavours of the foods melt in your mouth, all the staff (especially Naz) are attentive and meet our every culinary need.

Once again a fantastic welcome and meal, terrific curry and service. It is always a warm welcome and great food. Friendly people and great service. Keep up the good work. Well done.

Wow what an evening ! 35 of us came for a meal and it was superb!!! Excellent service amazing food!!!! So coming back soon, Thank you guys xxx

Quiet Monday evening, We we’re given attentive helpful precise & friendly service Food & portion sizes very good

1st trying here we was a table of 5. We all had different dishes and was all amazing. I had the Crab Tikka and I can honestly say it was the best curry I’ve never had. I’ve never seen it on a menu before I will definitely be coming here again.

First visit , Food was amazing, waiters were so attentive and helpful with ordering, value for money Second to none , definitely will be going again , definitely recommended and definitely will be returning

Badshah and Sadat you were both immensely fantastic. It is so enjoyable to observe two people with such an assiduous mindset and positive attitude and attentiveness to their work. Thank you so much for my fowl. It was my first time and it was tremendous. I will definitely come back again as the waiters Sadat and Badshah were extremely accommodating and went the extra mile. Exceedingly delicious curry and a very warm ambience in the restaurant. Tarana is the best Indian around!

Another superb meal. Great food, great service. All agreed worth travelling for and will use again for our curry club outings for the old geezers!

Nice restaurant and very nice food also I recommend it to other people aswell and diffently will come again

We eat here every Sunday and as always the food superb, quick and efficient service. The chef makes a point of coming out to make sure we are happy with his cooking. A very clean restaurant.

Food was excellent, really enjoyed it. Delivery was 15 minutes earlier than scheduled, which was fine but we weren't quite ready!

The food arrived on time & hot. It was delicious, would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Great customer service and food. The staff can accommodate to any needs. The food was perfect and can make special requests.

I never ate at this place until 2 days ago when one of my mates bought me to eat saying its good. It wasn't a mistake, the food there was god portion sizes and very high quality. Overall, service was very fast and very good. All waiters made sure we were comfortable and offered us drinks. Definitely will visit again with family. Well done everybody!

Another stunning meal! We are 4 guys in ‘the curry club’ so know a thing or two about Indian restaurants, this without doubt is the best around. We are regular customers as it’s so good every time.

We went into the restaurant about 19:00 shown to a table very quickly then the waiter practically throw cutlery and on the table and just kinda pushed it at us with out saying much, along with the menus, the final straw was when the just kinda slapped the napkins on the table at this point we walked out and went to the restaurant over the road and had an amazing service and meal

Had a bad experience ordering through their website with the delivery taking ages and the food sub-standard, however after several emails and a couple of weeks they have refunded the cost of the meal.

Great food, had such a lovely time!

Absolutely cracking. No surprise when i see its always so busy. A few different dishes compared to other restaurants in the area also. Definately reccomend.

Prompt delivery, tasty food. Sag aloo was nice and sag-heavy just as I like it.

Ate here last night the food was bland, portions weren’t great either it’s the second time I’ve been and each time it’s not been great wouldn’t recommend

Worst customer service I have ever received. We collected our order and was overcharged compared to prices on just eat. Got home and was missing 4 items, there was only 4 of us so wasn’t a huge order to begin with and when we collected the place was empty so they wasn’t busy. Phoned and said items were missing so they said they would deliver asap. Then phoned 20 minutes later to say they can’t deliver as they now have other deliveries to do. I sent an email complaint asking for my money back for the missing items. Raj phoned me 2 weeks later and said he will issue a refund or offer a future discount. I text back the following day and asked for refund and sent my bank details. Raj never responded, I followed up 4 weeks later and still no reply. Awful service.

Will never use Tarana again and will ensure to tell all friends and family about such poor service.

I would highly recommend the Tarana, my 16 year old son ate here last night with a group of his good friends and they were made to feel SO welcome - I even had a text from the restaurant after they had left, to tell me what a lovely group of boys they were. I think you have definitely won the next generations repeat business… and ours!! Thank you. x

Bits missing from starter. Not the best.

Chicken was cold & naan bread missing from ordered. Inedible all round. Just look at their food hygiene rating, says it all. I wouldn’t use these again

The food did taste nice but it was stone cold so it ruined it, it was delivered within the time estimated but must have been sitting somewhere ready for sometime …

Yet again making a reservation at the Tarana is a complete waste of time! They take your booking but they don't actually reserve a table for you. I booked a table for 6 and we arrived on time to a packed restaurant and no spare tables! As usual it's 'We will have a table for you in 10 minutes'.... Yeah Right... Then right behind us was another group of 6 who also had a Reservation.... Did what we have had to do before go across the road where we got a table almost straight away and a nice meal. Lesson learnt...

On entering my friend said we had a table booked for four, The boss man caused such a fuss saying she had booked for 5. How ever we were seated. Packed in like sardines, hence if there had been a emergency everyone would not of got out. We ordered our food by a very sad man infact noone smiled in there apart from the lady behind the bar. It seemed the boss man was miserable and showed through the unhappy staff. It was so busy.... We ordered our food when it came we asked if it was garlic rice, no garlic was found but I will add the food was amazing. Please try smiling 😃 even if your boss ain't happy!!!!!

We went to this restaurant as the one opposite ended alcoholic service after 10.30 but tbh this restaurant rushed you so much you would never get to this time

Food was OK, had to wait far too long for service. Yes, Friday night and quite busy, but wait time was over long.

Food was alright wouldn’t trust the waiter as far as I could throw him…felt rushed as soon as we sat down

Normally rate this place but this time the food was terrible
