The Tandoori Nite in Thanet

This restaurant used to be our go to for takeways, really wasn't too bad. However, the last few times we have ordered from Tandoori Night the food was really unpleasant. We used to really like the vegetable dhansak but they have changed to recipe to a dish of fried vegetables with no discernible sauce, very greasy and unpalatable. I don't know whether the premises has changed hands, but certainly won't be ordering again any time soon.

My order was delivered to my house about 20 minutes before the estimated delivery time the food was piping hot generous portion and very tasty even had a couple of extra bonus pappadoms in the bag too very happy with the whole customer experience from tandoori nite and would be happy to recommend them to others and order again myself.

I can't really fault them, they're definitely trying. However it was literally impossible to distinguish between butter chicken and a korma other than the colour. Nothing but coconut - which is a real shame. The chicken biryani was ok, I've definitely had better. It was lacking flavour if im being perfectly honest. Hyderabad biryani knocks this out of the water. I'll give this place another chance but won't be ordering any of the above. The best part of the meal was the samosas and the naan bread. Update: I understand why this place had a terrible food hygiene rating. Let's just say I've spent most of today incapacitated. The food was tasty but it has ruined me and I won't be returning.

Excellent service and superior quality of food as usual. The kings prawns are amazing.

We decided to have our Valentines meal here as we have eaten here before. The fish curry is highly recommended with good portions of tilapia and a good gravy. We also had a lamb dish and the meat was superb. Another lovely meal .. thanks all !

Top quality collection and food

always. enjoy. Food from. This restaurant Definitely recommend

Food was only warm to cold I had to heat it up

Food arrived cold due to driver getting lost/delayed. Portions small (samosa/Bhaji) Rogan and chicken tikka ok

We eat at the Tandoori Nite, it’s one of our favourite restaurants.

I'm so happy that you are delivering to Westbrook. Your food is the best ever.

Excellent quality food and service as usual

Politer and pleasant delivery man

Impeccable! The food was awesome. The half eaten picture of Salmon Tikka and KING PRAWN BHUNA was divine!! So good I forgot to take a pic before indulging! Whoops! Lamb Shank is a must! Service was flawless - great humour, great attention, and great food! I'll be back.... 😉😋😋😋

My wife had Chicken Passanda. They used sliced frozen chicken. I had Chicken Dupiaza and my chicken had been cooked multiple times and wasn’t far off being dust and could easily be crushed with a fork. Neither sauce had seen the chicken until being plated up. The Passanda sauce was watery and not thick as it should have been. Both sauces were completely tasteless. Neither had seen a chilli and spices were lacking to the point that they could have been any sauce. I will never return here.

Great hot tasty food ,loads of flavour, Reasonable price

First order from this restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you!

Food arrived on time it was hot and delicious as usual

Food and service are good but the atmosphere just isn't there, bright lighting white clinical walls does not make you want to stay around too long.

always great flavours and good portions,never a problem.

Broccoli was hard in vegetable Bhuna

Not great food, very bland hardly any flavour! Very disappointing!

Always great food, delivered nice and hot. I would highly recommend

First vindaloo I’ve had since living here that wasn’t swimming in oil! Perfect heat and very flavoursome. Fluffy rice. Good stuff!

Exceptional food. Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you.

Fantastic meal & delivered on time

Cold (Everything ) and no Peshwari Naan Bread delivered

Was disappointed this time food wasnt hot. The nann was hard like the fiid had been sitting there for a while

Excellent service. My order was delivered at exactly the time requested

Another nice meal, thanks we’ll be back.

Unfortunately the service was very slow the tables were very cramped all of which we could of dealt with ! but the food was less than standard the butter chicken was a korma recipe full of coconut the vegetable samosa was oily and again inedible the mint raita was not freshly made just out of a jar the whole experience was not good this is not authentic Indian food it’s literally supermarket food served in a restaurant

Food arrived on time very fresh and hot delicious

Was so yummy will defo be ordering again x

Food delivered early piping hot and delicious the only down was the vegetable curry which was more like onion and potato with some cabbage and he’d very little flavour

Really good as always.no problems.5 star

My Wife and I recently had a lovely Indian meal at this restaurant. The service was excellent and the meals we had on top of the starters were lovely. My Wife had the Prawn Bhuna and I had the Lamb Bhuna. Both of these were plentiful in the portions. They both were better than our local Indian restaurant. We would highly recommend that you have a meal at this restaurant if you either live in Birchington or are staying in the area on a visit.

Mostly good, but the saag aloo didn’t contain any spinach which was a real shame.

Perfection once again! Thanks👍🙂😋

Much better than we were expecting from a local Indian restaurant and very reasonable prices

Fantastic flavours and great service. I was really impressed. Thoroughly recommend

Perfect, great service, great food, thanks for your reliability!

First visit whilst on holiday. All the food was very generous and nice chunks of meat. Prices are very reasonable and we only waited 20mins as it was being made. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

If you haven’t had a takeaway from here don't hesitate. The meals we had delivered were super tasty, of good quality and plentiful, and in my view the best value for money Indian takeaway we've had for a long time.

Great curry , flavours were perfect and fresh ! Will deffo order from here again !

not order curry from here in a long time it's always been my favourite however tonight my teacom masala the chicken was dry the sauce was brown normally it's a nice bright orange red color and taste delicious tonight's food was of a very low standard

OK I'm Back, 55k previous followers thought I would go again, Do have tried the rest and this one was excellent, Very very good food, very tasty, very well priced, Was really busy, only down side was waited a tad to long, but was well worth it,

Never sat inside to eat but I always get my takeaways from here the staff are super lovely and accommodating and good is dam good.

The food wasn’t hot but this is the risk you take having a takeaway but it didn’t detract from the flavour it was delicious

Terrible experience. Waited hours for food that wasn’t edible. No apology from Ali the owner would not return if you paid me too. Ordered a take away previously turned up 90 minutes late stone cold.

Ordered a take away. Had a prawn biryanni which was very poor, only 6 prawns in the entire dish. Ordered popadoms with dips very unhappy with the quality of the dips. No lime chilli pickle or mango chutney supplied. Food wss not hot and was very dry. Probably the worst indian meal i have ever eaten and would not recommend buying a take away from this restaursnt.

Excellent curry fresh ingredients great

Always love visiting Tandoori Nite. Great food, good prices and Ali always gives you a warm welcome.

Went recently with a large group of friends, good food & service - we ate everything - the plates were licked clean 😋

Good evening Tandoori Nite, We had an unexpected unplanned visit to your restaurant and were instantly greeted by your kind and helpful staff. We had 3 dishes consisting of a Balti, Curry and Madras, chicken and sauces were cooked spot on. We will be coming back for sure, highly recommended a visit to this restaurant 👌 🍻

One of our favourite places. We have been going for years as it’s on our doorstep. The staff are so friendly. We love the choice of dishes & it’s great value for money

Ordered a couple dishes to take away tonight. Really disappointed as when we eat in it is fantastic food. The chicken was dry and seemed left over and the Bombay aloo potatoes cold and partly hard. We certainly won't order take away again. Wondering if was cos we ordered early before official open times and from day before

The experience was very good. We were seated in time and the first bits and drinks were served right away. We enjoyed the food, which was quite tasty and warm, helped by the hot plates they provided at time of serving the main meal. I had read the reviews here and was a bit concerned, but on our experience everything was good. If you order anything with chilli 🌶️ on it, be careful. I ate a whole one thinking it was a green bean and it was quite hot 🥵😊😊 I will go there again in the future.

A classic old skool indian - it is tastey good food hot plates and does what is says on the tin!. I work and travel in India and was very skeptical about this place from the front but don't be put off out back is a british style indian restaurant. They serve classic dishes and it was busy on Saturday night. The peshwari nan was delicious Channa Dhal excellent and sag paneer delicious! This is local ..it aint Dishoom or Mogli...its a local dependable classic indian that seems to be doing what you need on a Saturday night ! Great service . Thank you .

Butter chicken and lamb pasanda. Never the spiciest of dishes but the chicken especially was watery and tasteless. The lamb was overly sweet. Bombay aloo was just plain oily potatoes. No spice or flavour. Naan was stodgy. Rice ok. Will not use again

I had King prawn curry and Tandoori salmon, And they were both delicious, very flavoursome! I shall certainly be returning to this restaurant.

Had a great evening, the food from the starters to main course was presented and tasted excellent, will definitely be going back for another meal

Excellent flavour and quality. Vegan and veggie. Quick delivery, friendly helpful staff. Fantastic!

A bland and disappointing food experience for 2. Mains: tandoori chicken was average. The lamb Mirchi Ghust (with very hot spices and green chillies ) was not at all ‘hot’ as indicated - the sauce was tasty but lacking a “kick” (not as in vindaloo hot). The staple vegetable sides (bhindi, sag aloo and tarka dhal) lacking In basic seasoning, were simply tasteless. We had not had an Indian meal from Tandoori Nite for a very long time and this meal was far from the “treat” anticipated by our hungry taste buds.

Luvly curry restaurant have been a few times always great food and attentive staff and good location good Irish coffees

Oh Dear. I like to see myself as a bit of a dust bin, eat anything and usually happy. However... I ordered a large delivery for my family as a treat. Ordered at 5.30pm for 7pm. Turned up at 8pm, cold!!! If I wanted a microwave curry I'd have gone to sainsbury! Probably would have taste better to be honest. No one enjoyed their meal, poor quality and small portions. Even the rice.4 king prawns in the King prawn patia £11.50, thanks for that. Worst service and indian food I've had. Never again.

Excellent food and service Plates hot , always a good sign

Last minute booking.. 4 eating.. One gluten free ( accommodated).. All food very tasty and well presented. Service with a smile also.

Had a nice meal here last night, but my father in law had the Mirchi Gohst (lamb) dish and had really bad food poisoning. Was really feeling rough. Everyone else seemed to be unscathed, but he's been sick as a dog. I'm sceptical about lamb in some restaurants, but my wife had the lamb shank and was fine. I personally would just avoid the lamb dishes.

Our local favourite restaurant, being going there for years. Great menu, attentive staff and good value for money. Recommend the Tandoori Mixed Grill and mushroom rice, old favourites like the lamb Madras are super but be prepared to wait a bit longer which is fine, while they work the magic!

This restaurant used to be lovely but has unfortunately gone downhill. Chicken was dry and chewy, vegetable samosas were very bland- thoroughly disappointed as use to be our favourite Indian

I'm staying nearby on business and used this Indian restaurant. Service was excellent, food was very good, ambience was comfortable and prices reasonable. I'll definitely be back when work brings me back here.

This place is a solid Indian. Had the vindaloo which was very good alongside a chicken madras and plain naan. Along with drinks and rice price came to £36 for two people

I come across this restaurant while visiting Birchington a few weeks ago, it’s got to be one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had, the food was cooked fresh and tasted amazing and it was also excellent value for money and the staff were also friendly also the only bad point was when we paid the bill I said to the young girl keep the £10 tip her reply was we don’t get the tips which is a bit wrong but apart from that it’s a lovely meal

Mediocre. Very stark lighting was my first thought, very clinical. No music, no atmosphere. Chutneys were not freshly made, which isn't a bad thing, but with competition doing things better, perhaps they could think about small things like that. Charisma.....none, all staff looked fed up. The food was hot but all the dishes were the same colour 😕 . It wasn't bad but wasn't great. Think, tbh we have been spoilt with modern Indian restaurants, who don't use ghee and everything is prepared from scratch. I suppose a good old fashioned Indian restaurant if you're not looking for an atmosphere or a change of menu.

Tasty, affordable and generous servings. We had a lovely meal thank you.

Has a take away this evening and it was dreadful! All I could taste was sugar! Yuck! The Tarka Dal was slush, the ish mushroom dish flavourless. Worst take away curry I’ve ever had!

Im a regular here, sadly the tikka was anaemic, small & not on a hot sizzling dish as it usually is..they took it away assuming to be replaced by a more appetising starter. Sat for 15-20 mins. No sign of any food. So we left! 😔

One of the best curries tried. All dishes were excellent and the bottled beers ice cold. Thank you and see you again.

Great with allergies! Always feel safe eating here :)

Consistently the best Indian restaurant in the area of thanet, been here 50 times over the last 10 years and never have any complaints or heard anything bad, might have to wait for your food a little bit longer, if busy but the food is excellent and best tikka masala in Kent, prawns have down sized though, which is a shame if king prawns, these were not unfortunately, but still a nice meal.

Great food really enjoyed it the food is one of the best curries I've had and the coconut rice was so good

Very nice but lamb was a bit tough ! Lovely sauce a very attentive service.

Recommended by our Air B&B host..... My king prawn pathia was good, my wife's Chicken tikka dansak however gave her severe food poisoning, she has been very ill for 2 days and we had to cut short our break and come home.

Great food, excellent service. I wasn't keen on the dessert though.

Best food and great atmosphere. Superb

Can be a little slow but food excellent so obviously will be very popular

As usual. Food delicious and served hot. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Can't fault it, looking forward to going there for our Christmas Banquet.

An absolutely wonderful place for a cosey night with friends, lovely atmosphere great service wonderful food. Best night out for a long time.

This is probably the best Indian food that I've ever eaten anywhere period. The lamb dishes are outstanding and a speciality at this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious(faultless really) The chefs are obviously experts in their craft. It's a very pleasant restaurant, comfortable and relaxing.The staff are always friendly, polite , helpful and welcoming too. Spent a lovely afternoon in Thanet at the seaside on Saturday the 25th of September and then finished the evening off here. It was a great end to a lovely day!

Excellent food, superb food. Highly recommended 👍

Lovely meal in great venue. Brilliant staff.

Superb food, excellent service.

Tried this place for the first time. Very good food, good, efficient delivery, very reasonable prices.What's not to like!?

Absolutely superb...Great food,great service, great price,great evening

Absolutely the best indian food. Great restaurant excellent service all round would highly reccomend

Always good food, great young man serving.

Delicious meal , authentic Indian meal, lush garlic nann

Amazing food, excellent service.

Not what I hoped for I have read the reviews of this restaurant and consequently was hoping for a tasty meal for one. The restaurant that we normally use is closed on a Monday. So decided to give this one a try. in my opinion it really was tasteless. So much so, that I ate about a quarter and binned the rest. Such a shame as wanted to find another decent Indian restaurant

Me and my family ordered chicken palak and lamb tiki with rice. It was our first order, we loved it. The rice was amazing, the salad was very tasty, the main dish taste like home made food. Large portion and well packed. Good value for money. I have tried Mother India , kebab mahal and some other Indian restaurants. Tandoori Nite is "The best Indian restaurant and takeaway in Edinburgh ". Definitely I'll order again.
