The Ramsgate Tandoori in Thanet

My family went to Ramsgate Tandoori for my dad’s birthday. There were 10 of us, 9 being vegan. The food was absolutely stunning and the food was fresh and beautiful. The owners were very accommodating and so friendly and welcoming. I think this was possibly the best meal we have ever had. Definitely going to be a regular for us. Thank you so much. X

Best curry in Ramsgate! Delicious food and excellent service. Very nice family atmosphere and lovely owners and staff. Highly recommend!

Family of 3 on a Saturday night, nice atmosphere friendly staff and great service. The restraunt is a step back to the 60/70's Ruby house which we liked but not everyone's taste. Beer very fare price. As for the food it was a real mix. Starters Onion bajais and samosa with a salad, tamarind and chilli sauce very nice. All lamb main dishes with plenty of tender Lamb. Buhna, Rogan and a Madras. Only issue is the Madras, this had very subtle flavours, nice but more of a Lamb Curry. Sides 2 pilau rice and 2 garlic nans. Rice great garlic nans slightly uncooked in the middle. in summary . I will be going back but probably for a Vindaloo.

Food was nice only thing is small portion sizes and delivery was quite long considering i live in ramsgate and restaurant is in ramsgate!

Food was authentic and amazing. Great service and friendly atmosphere. It’s clean and highly recommended.

Having had a meal both in the restaurant and as takeaway I can say both have been nice experiences. Attentive staff in the restaurant and quick delivery on the take away. Food is lovely and value for money, a good standard for a local tandoori, will be back again and would recommend to others

Vegetable curries served as a side dish. Avoid.

arrived 10 minutes early but that wasn't a problem, but all food was really cold had to heat it in the oven for 20mins so wasn't happy , could perhaps understand it being cold if it was late

Welcoming and Very delicious yummy dinner from pilau rice to keema naan and a very hospitable family. Especially the keema naan, pilau rice and curries

Enjoyed a delightful meal at the Ramsgate Tandoori with our guests from France this evening. We had an array of meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes, varying rices and breads. All with beautiful flavours and served with smiles. Raushan (the owner) kindly provided a high chair for the 20 month old and was very attentive to our needs. Thank you.

Lovely food and great hosts would recommend

Curry tasted like veg and was just so watery

Very sad 😔 this place is awful. We used them a few years ago and was nice but tonight we had a takeaway. Samosa freezing cold in middle, prawns overcooked, tandoori chicken dry overcooked,, chapati like rubber, chicken korma dry overcooked. Paid for poppadoms not included. Sent food back. As we ordered from just eat the owner refused refund and hung up phone. Avoid or you may get food poisoning.

Having eaten at the restaurant many times and h

Without a doubt the best Indian in Ramsgate 🙌

Have been either going to or having takeaway from this restaurant for over 30 years. We had a family take away last night and I moist admit we were very disappointed The madras was the best thing. My daughter’s rogan Josh was very bland The Popadoms tasted of rancid butter. The onion bhajis half were burnt and tasted off and the other half were mushy. The only really good things were the nan breads. I am so disappointed as I have always championed this restaurant but don’t think I will again.

Wow! Succulent food. Wonderful service. We got Chicken Dansak. Chicken Madras. Prawn Rezala (divine!) poppadoms - garlics and coconut naan - sag aloo. Two beers £63!!! Amazing two of us.

I tried this place on my own last night, as I was looking to take a party of 15 people there next month. Very poor experience and disappointed. The poppadoms were stale, onion salad had unwashed carrot 🥕 peel in it?? The main course tasted like the sauce was from a supermarket Jar and not cooked from scratch. The rice portion was a 3rd of a takeaway container and cold as was the main. Now the chapattis were very hot and appeared fresh which was surprising as the rest of the meal was very low standard. The portion to price was too expensive for what it was. I won't eat here again or recommend it which is a shame as I love Indian food.

Very nice meal and the perfect personal service. A great environment to enjoy superb food! Only 200yds from the harbour. Well within the busy part of town.

Food was very nice reasonably priced . They service was good

Far too much salt used in my curry, so taste the other ingredients.

Chicken Biriyani did not have a large amount of chicken, but what arrived tasted nice. Failed to deliver Chutney but offered to deliver it when I called.

Great food, friendly service, will absolutely be coming back!

I still miss uncle Rana Bhai's behavior and Sabuj Bhai's wonderful behavior. Everyone is fine!

food was stone cold..went straight in the bin..plus got charged £1.30 for a can of coke and the coke was from a multi pack and should of been a £1

Really great food and great service, definitely coming back again!!!

We were very happy with our night out at the Ramsgate Tandoori. The hosts make you feel at ease and are nice people. You can’t go wrong with the food and the price is fair. I much prefer this restaurant to the other Indian in town because it’s friendlier and more to my taste.

This Restaurant is Lovely, so are the Friendly Staff, The food was amazing. We will go again most Definately. My Partner and I Loved it.

We had a pleasant early evening meal whilst staying in ramsgate food and service both excellent thank you

Very nice meal - thoroughly enjoyed!!

Good food , friendly owners and good price, will visit again

on time and cooked perfectly

Average food - Average service - No atmosphere - Over priced. My advice - Much better Indians out there people - don’t waste your time and money here..

food was bit early but no worries as we were hungry and food was delicious, hot , tasty, well cooked and very filling and delivered with a smile , what more could we ask for.

Absolutely brilliant restaurant. Great staff. Gorgeous food. Great night all round.

Absolutely marvellous. Staff always look after us. Food of highest quality. Very quick service and amazing atmosphere.

I love eating at Ramsgate Tandoori and have been eating there since I moved here. I decided it's about time I recommended "my local." The food is excellent and the owners are friendly and welcoming. Last night I had a great meal with enough food left over for lunch today! Thanks again and see you soon.

apart from forgetting the pickle meal was lovely

first time from Ramsgate Tandoori and not disappointed at all , was lovely n will definitely order again

Great food, friendly service, couldn’t ask for more. Very reasonably priced too

Food was a bit average unfortunately

Food has ‘just left’ and still took 15 mins even though we live <5mins away. Food was warm not hot and items missing. Only excuse they gave ‘they were busy’ which is fine but adjust your estimated delivery accordingly and ensure on quality…..

The portion size was awful. Total waste of money.

The food was beautiful and the owners where very polite and kind and made sure we had everything we needed also drinks are nice not too bad a price would definitely recommend and will have to come back.

Ordered a takeaway meal using the restaurant's own website ordering tool. Straightforward and simple. Two meals, chicken tikka masala and prawn korma plus rice with each meal. Meals delivered, no issues whatsoever. Both meals were delicious and plentiful. Will be using this restaurant more often.

I’m really disappointed with my order this evening. Everything was tasteless and cold.. and the chicken korma was really runny with hardly any chicken. It’s such a shame because I’ve been a customer for many years on and off and I remembered it being one of the best Indians in town… and now I won’t be ordering again.

Sadly disappointed with the quality of the food. Poppadoms were stale, and a couple of group were given different dishes to what they had ordered.

Small portions & not a lot of chicken especially in tikka masala dish

It was a quiet night and this gave us time to talk with one of the owners (a lovely lady). Great chat on how the business and people’s eating habits have changed over the years. I am old enough to remember when it was an after the pubs close meal. The food was excellent and reasonably priced and if in Ramsgate again will not hesitate to visit again.

Excellent customer service and delicious food, a lovely experience

Ordered a takeaway last nigth. 25th September 2023. Fast effiecient delivery, free of charge. Chicken Madras, mushroom Pillai rice. Peswarni nan. One of the best Indian takeaways I've ever had. Compliments to the Chef.

This restaurant is great for any occasion. We eat there on a regular basis and the owners are always happy to see us and ensure that we have great service. The food is lovely and I can always rely on having a great chicken tikka masala there. Furthermore, the owners really care about the community they live in.

Thank you very much exactly what I ordered. Plus a little extra. I appreciate it. Maybe my 3rd order but first time leaving a review. 10/10

I can be hard to please when it comes to having a nice Indian and this was unexpectedly excellent! Great food and great service.

Lovely family restaurant. Great food. The staff were very attentive and efficient. I also witnessed some lovely generosity to those less fortunate in life. Good people, good food. I’d highly recommend.

This is truly the worst curry I have ever had! Firstly the portion size was very small, main course sent in large container fitted into small one with still plenty of space. Chicken chat starter only about 1/3 of small container and totally tasteless with very little chicken in it. Main course equally tasteless and very under spiced for what was meant to be a medium spiced dish. The only plus was that the food arrived on time and hot!

Excellent food, delivered hot and on time. Will definitely use again.

Great food and hospitality, best indian food in Ramsgate!

Lovely food and friendly owners.

I have absolutely no idea what I did to deserve such an awful meal. Arrived looking like it had been sat on and spilt everywhere in the bad. Tasted dreadful.

Amazing food you have to try the eggy bread

Wasn’t really an issue and understandable as it’s a bank holiday and they did give extras for free

Best Indian restaurant in town! Especially if you're vegan. Dishes clearly marked. 💗

The food was cold, which I can forgive. What I can't forgive, however, are the portion sizes. The foil tray was about 1/4 full with Lamb Dhansak, and the rice wasn't much better. The meal barely covered my plate. I don't usually order from here, but thought I'd try somewhere different for a change. I wish I hadn't!

Food was bland and tasteless.3 stars for the clean restaurant. Had to waste all the food.

Ordered a take away chicken and lamb meat was nice but it was bland and tasteless no hint of any spices at all. Babies first curry with long covid avoid.

I ordered a prawn pathia, the pawns were overcooked and the pathia was unlike any other pathia that I have ever tasted. It was not nice at all, it was that bad that I left over half of the curry. On the plus side the garlic nan was not that bad, and I am glad that I ordered it otherwise I wouldn't have eaten anything. The poppadoms were decent but you cant really mess them up. The beer wasn't really that cold so to be blunt it was a £20 plus nan bread for my tea tonight. Looking forward to going back home for a decent curry.

An excellent traditional Indian Restaurant friendly and welcoming.

Good food we were the only diners, unfortunately

Booked for a Saturday night. Four of us. Great decor, lovely welcome. Ordered madras, dhansak, and loads if other dishes. I don’t know what has happened since my last review about five years ago but top marks now, foie was superb . I highly recommend this venue. It was also lovely to chew the fat with the Mayor.

lovely food as always did not mind it being late at all [10 ish minutes late] thank you so much for the well-needed warm meal

Best Indian in Thanet! Full marks, lovely people.

Sadly this was one of the worst Indian meals I have ever had… it says it’s award winning but I’m not sure how that can be so?! Had very high hopes for this one reading they have been in business for so many years but I suppose they have let things slip a lot since the start and the awards… it left me with a very bad stomach the next day. All food lacked completely in flavour very watery curry’s all chicken was very white/pasty, similar to that of a microwave meal… In fact the whole thing may as well have been a microwave meal and low budget at that!!! Whole menu needs a fix up, perhaps a new chef. Very disappointing. 😕

Run by a charming couple the lady is the mayor of Ramsgate

Happy new year our first Indian of the year and it was amazing thankyou so much a an outstanding meal

This place is amazing me and my partner alway come here. Definitely one of the best around. The staff are very friendly and amazing. Would always recommend to anyone

lovely food. me and my brother went on sunday the 11th of dec the food was so tender and my lamb tikka bhuna was so soft it melted in your mouth my brother had a prawn masala and the sauce was exellent,a great meal and we will return soon.

Went here 2 weeks ago for our annual girls night out. Food was nice and fresh no complaints about food at all. The bill however was different I was overcharged by £6 and my daughters were also over charged one by £18 ft or 2 drinks she didn’t have. This also happened in a previous visit so check your bills as this seems to be a regular occurrence. I did get a refund but should not have happened.

Went for our annual girls night out food was nice but got over charged £6 poppadoms and rice we supposed to be on the house again got charged for these. My daughter got charged £18 for 2 drinks she didn’t have This is not the first time we have been overcharged here either so safe to say won’t be going back or recommending it Check your bill carefully as this seems to happen a lot here

We went for a lunch time special so the menu was already decided, we were not disappointed it was a nice lunch meal, if I went for an evening meal I would go for the vindaloo and sides. The restaurant was empty except for us but that was a good thing on this occasion as my son has extreme anxiety.

Excellent food, so delicious, my new favourite

Unfortunately when it arrived the food was lukewarm and the curry had little flavour to it.

Food was great, delivered early, all hot, will use them again, definitely.

I eat in quite a lot of South Asian restaurants. The food in this one was really quite poor.

The only reason you would roll up a prawn puree starter, is because there is hardly anything inside it and you can charge £7.50 for it. Massively overpriced for the quality of food, luckily I don't live local so I won't be going again.

Lamb bhuna had no spice at all and not much flavour compared to one's had from others, lamb passanda lacked a bit of flavour and the special fried rice defo wasnt special! More like egg fried with a colouring added and flavour removed! Bombay aloo had no tang to it.

Such a great selection. We tried the mixed tandoori grill for starters for a change. Outstanding quality and price

Was recommended this restaurant fair to say won't be listening to them again. Curry was watery tasteless and the only spice was the amount of chilli powder. Onion bhajis bland and had more flour than onion, naan bread covered in ghee for what reason I don't know, they were also very doughy. The only thing that was nice was the chicken pakora and even those were overcooked. About an hour after dinner me and my family all had belly aches aswell. Fair to say I will not be returning and I am still on the hunt for an Indian in thanet that can meet expectations.

Lovely food and great service what more could you want, look forward to my next visit

Food 10/10. Staff 10/10. Service 10/10. Highly Recommended

Food was lovely, poppadoms a little soft, but the rest was tasty. They apologised 4 being late, but they weren't

Nice friendly Tandoori restaurant in the heart of Ramsgate town, 200 metres from the sea front in Harbour street. I believe it's been with the same owners since 1988. Food is good, price is ok, overall a pleasant place to eat. We were four people, we had 6x pints of Beer and a bottle of fizzy water, poppadoms, 4x onion bhajis as a starter then four curries and it came to £105.

Ordered a takeaway in person woman who took order most miserable person no smile no thank you nothing ,collected 20 minutes later order handed to me without a word no thank you nothing just handed and turned away made myself look stupid by saying thanks when he had just turned away .The food was very ordinary lamb madras was more like a korma with very little sauce,Bombay potatoes hardly any sauce. First and last time never again.

This is an excellent Indian Restaurant which offers a very good choice of cuisine that is beautifully cooked. It is run by extremely pleasant and helpful staff. It also has a lovely atmosphere and is spacious. It’s a very enjoyable place to dine out. I highly recommend the Ramsgate Tandoori.

The food is amazing and they always deliver on time with extra food that I never ordered

We have been here several times over the years to eat in and it has never disappointed. Flavourful curry and very friendly service. Always like to visit whenever we are in Ramsgate!

Really happy with the service I received. Meals were really lovely. I chose this restaurant because there was no delivery charge and will certainly use them again

Had my usual chicken vindaloo, plain rice, poppadom, bottle of lager. Never stayed in Ramsgate before; if you want a hot curry and an alcoholic drink this is the place to go. Spice Fusion (see my review) don't sell alcohol, Flavours by Kumar appear not to do hot curries, and The Curry House is only a takeaway. Also, good location near lots of pubs.

Really good find - we'll be back. We enjoyed a generous meal and a bottle of wine for £60. I had a delicious spicy potato starter: Aloo Chop. My hub went big and ordered the Tandoori Chicken - it was huge plate (photo). Tasty but a little dry. My main course was vegetable madras which wasn't as hot as I expected and was a little sweet. I'll try something else next time. The tarka dhal was really good. House wine very reasonable at £15 bottle.

Ordered take away for My Christmas meal , it went straight in the bin , complained about it ,but never got an apology, I've been using the Ramsgate tandoori for over 20 years , but sorry to say never again, an apology would have been nice
