Just ordered for first time food was excellent I would highly recommend

Beautiful food, amazing staff, lovely setting.

Food is delicious and service is great. A very relax atmosphere. Love this gem in Gravesend. A definite must go

Wonderful food meal with my daughter who likes indian cuisine she said best she has had for a long time and I agree great service too

Food lovely but terrible service , none of the waiting staff said please or thank you , not one cracked a smile. Overall attitude of the waiting staff just awful this evening .

Excellent bring back mongoose king prawn is a muct lovely staff lovely food

Great food, freshly cooked. I have a tomato allergy and the kitchen was able to adapt most menu items to be suitable for me. Genuinely very impressed by this given tomato is a staple Indian thickener. Very wide menu with reasonable pricing. All dishes we had were really very good. This has now become my regular Indian!

Really good curry and nice restaurant ambience. I always go for chicken tikka as I love the clay oven chicken and my partner gets a chicken korma. We were both pleased!

Been going here lately from years ago top class in everyway

Good meal, pleasant staff and surroundings. The tarka dall was the best I’ve ever tasted. The chicken tikka could benefit from more spice but was cooked beautifully.

Excellent food and service in a clean contemporary restaurant. Always a pleasure to go to Tufail. A warm welcome and excellent food every time.

Really good local curry spot. Food very good and service prompt and smiley. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area.

Great place. Good service. Very high quality food.

An interesting menu, with so many choices we will be returning to try out more.

Tastiest curry I've had in years. Fantastic!

Booked a table is advisable, as Saturday night was busy. Skipped starters and ordered a couple of pupadoms and went for mains which were very good. Service is attentive and proffesional. The final bill was higher than expected but wouldn't deter a return Visit.

The welcome was not at all acceptable. The staff who opened the door for us was acting like we do not belong to the place at all. It was not acceptable and we had to leave the place as he continued staring at us the whole time. Not at all a good manners.

Tufail Indian restaurant is an absolute gem hidden in our neighborhood! From the moment you step inside, you are transported to a world of vibrant colors, tantalizing aromas, and the most amazing customer experience one could ask for.

Prepare to be blown away by the authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and unforgettable dining experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Thank you very much.

Amazing nice and fresh we really enjoyed it thanks will be back again good value for money

Truly superb food and service, excellent friendly staff. Try the Rogan Josh and Tandori King Butterfly Prawns prawns, absolutely the best I have ever tasted. Everything was faultless, a very enjoyable evening, lovely restaurant.

The restaurant is ok.. Food was mediocre.. very overpriced for what we ordered. Wouldn’t be returning again..

First of all it’s a very oriented and well organized family restaurant. Went there with my family for the first time. Was that really good food and very good customer service. I’ve enjoyed mixed grill and garlic chili chicken massala. I’ll go there again soon with friends and family.

Best place in town! Definitely recommend! We’ll be back again! Friendly staff and the food was amazing!

Went there first time. Food was good and service was fast. Will go there again foe sure.

Great food & service...Good-sized portions, very tasty too! Decor a bit too modern & clinical for my taste..needs 'softening up' a bit...

Very good food. Staff were very attentive. A little pricey but worth it.

Used to be good but unfortunately prices are now premium and portions are tiny. Don't bother ordering starters like paneer or somosa - you'll be shocked by how little food you get. Quality of food is OK but the lack of food for extra high prices really left a bad impression.

was late at night but was still greeted with a smile. great food and service as always. never dissapoints

As always, great food and friendly service Absolutely brilliant food

Spur of moment booking. Staff and food fantastic.

Lovely food, staff were lovely & helpful.

Three of us visited yesterday as I was a regular at this restaurant years ago and always found the food to be good and prices reasonable. I was sincerely disappointed however when the bill arrived. No starters, just two popadoms each, a main each, two rices shared between three of us, four breads, one saag aloo (between three) and a soft drink - £100 without a tip. Gobsmacked for the equivalent amount of food you would get as a takeaway and would cost you half that elsewhere. 5 quid for a naan, 7 for a small side and another 7 for a large lemonade (two of the small bottles). £1.20 per poppadom!? They also put a fine print at the end of the menu saying that there is a minimum spend of £21.95pp and that they will add a 12.5% service charge. I know the price of living has gone up but I felt rinsed in all honesty. A shame because I used to rave over this place as the best in town. Won’t be returning though at those prices.

Ordered a takeaway for 4 people, for picked up, the food was stone cold. Extremely disappointed as always had good food this restaurant is quite expensive so a treat to have food from there. rang them up was told to take the food back and they would re-do the order. They were quite rude and we didn’t feel confident in taking back. Very very poor customer experience they could have said they would deliver or offer a discount on next visit. So be aware also to point out food waiting to be picked up is left on a trolley by the door it was a freezing night 😡 waste of my hard earned money cold food rude people will not make the same mistake twice

Our last minute dinner detour and we were not disappointed. Well presented venue , friendly staff and delicious food. With a public car park just a couple minutes walk -a very good option

Great food aburgine curry was superb

Lovely lively restaurant staff are always so helpful and the food is amazing

The restaurant has an amazing ambience for you to enjoy dinner for two, family dinners and big parties and gatherings! My favourites are chicken tikka and lamb chop sizzlers. The chicken tikka chaat puri is spicy and flavourful, I strongly recommend! The bar has it all and you can drink as much as you desire! It’s a great atmosphere! Truly recommend everyone gives Tufail a try! They’re a genuine family run business with over 2 decades do experience in the industry!

An easy way to judge how good an Indian restaurant is to see how busy it is in a town where Indian restaurants are plenty. Tufail is a fairly large restaurant and each seat was full on a Friday night which didn't cause any strain on the kitchen as dishes were flying their way around the place and landing on tables with rehearsed efficiency. Each dish we had was tasty and plentiful - great value for money. Best in town? Quite possibly.

GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE Best Indian restaurant in Gravesend I kid you not, food full of flavour, fantastic service, friendly staff, very nice atmosphere, you get more than you pay for with this restaurant, I can promise you if you eat here you will ONLY eat here!

Very good fast delivery, food was alright the lam tika was really sweet couldn't eat it.The rice was not the best and the food overall was a 4/10 not eating agin.

Food was fabulous. Service was excellent. Good atmosphere. Highly advise. Would definitely recommend. Best restaurant in gravesend, I would say even in kent. 5* star

The staff are very helpful and polite the food is great was unable to eat it all but they were willing to put it in cartons so we could take it home would recommend to all

Best curry house in Gravesend. Always enjoy the service, the staff are attentive and food is exceptional.

Excellent food, excellent service but pricey

Excellent food, staff friendly and knowledgable

Ok - so everyone is going to argue about their go to curry ..... but this is mine ❤️

Amazing food, consistent for years. Definitely coming back

Service was very good the red wine very nice . Curry average to much sharp tomato sauce. Top curry prices but not top food .

Best in Gravesend! After some other disappointing curries we visited the Tufail this evening Nice friendly welcome from the team at the door and allowed time to peruse the menu. Had the lamb shank and was sensational. Lovely Peshwari Naan. Could have cuddled up in its soft pillowy coco-nutty loveliness Shall not look anywhere else for a decent curry out now!

Great service but awful food - pretty disappointing!

Nice food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff

It's ok not the best Indian I've had but ok quite expensive though

Went there pre-pandemic and it was lovely, nowhere near as good now. Staff seemed a bit confused. Maybe just an off night?

The best Indian food in Gravesend & possibly Medway too !!

Never lets us down, always good quality. Friendly staff and service

Great meal and service First class. Thank you Tufail.

Nice atmosphere. Food was good. However, seemed like they were slightly understaffed. Had waits for mains and then had to wait for rice to be served. Price wise, was pretty standard. But fair for the quality of the food.

Amazing flavourful food, great chicken and fabulous sauces… well done Tufail. You never fail.

Good food service a very slow start ( it was a busy Saturday night )

Still the best Indian restaurant in Gravesend.

Been using the Tufail for years, but last night was disappointed with a takeaway. No salad or sauce with my Chicken Tikka and the Chicken Korma (not mine) was way more spicy than usual. Manager offered to cook something else after trying it but was too late by then.

Very nice staff service was very good but the lamb rogan was to chewy,and too much tomato need more juice.otherwise very pleasant to dine there.

Great Indian always happy to have this takeaway Never fails me

Can always squeeze you in and customer service remains great, despite being very busy.

Excellent food and service would highly recommend.

Very nice curry house well worth the vist

A really nice place from start to finish. Very welcoming surroundings and friendly staff. Food was superb, recommend the Rezala for sure.

Lovely father's day meal with the family. Fantastic service and food 10/10...

always good food thats why i go there always good service and value for money can never fault this place and the owner is very polite too

Visited Last night and wasn’t disappointed. The food was outstanding and the best Indian I’ve had for a very long time.. The vegetarian Dhansak was perfect, as was the rest of my meal. The manager, (possibly owner) was welcoming and the restaurant was tastefully decorated. I wish I lived nearer but would definitely do the 1hr plus drive to eat here again 😀

I am normally a big fan of this contemporary Indian restaurant. But maybe it’s under new management? Went last night (19/06/2021) and it was well below its best. Drinks and popadoms arrived immediately. But then we waited ages for our order to be taken. After that waiters passed up and down countless times ignoring us and our empty glasses. Even when the food was delivered it was quickly dumped without anyone asking about more drinks. Eventually we got someone’s attention to order more. But the food was the real disappointment. Usually fresh and vibrant it was instead bland and barely warm. I tried to grab the manager’s attention but he seemed too busy berating his staff to visit any tables. Not a good experience. Not sure I will rush back there, sadly.

Had the tastiest meal last night and wanted to hop on here and leave a review. It was the first meal out after lockdown and was so genuinly great quality. Good service and felt welcome. I've been before when it's busy and have been in the back room, but much prefer when it has less people so perhaps best to visit on a week night. Loved it and would definitely go again.

Worth a lot more than five stars.

Delicious. From start to finish, the hospitality is superb. The food is some of the best Indian cuisine I’ve eaten in the last year. I feel like my starter may have been microwaved and not cooked fresh, hence the 4, tasty none the less. However the main was simply delicious and just what I asked for. Reasonable prices for lovely food and a very friendly service. Would definitely go again and recommend!

Had a birthday meal here just before we went back into lock down , It is one of the best Indian's in the area , It sounds crazy but the special fried rice I had with my main really blew me away, something so basic really did make me say wow ! Cant wit to book a table when it re-opens

Brilliant food, on time and hot.. very tasty

We really enjoyed our takeout order. Delicious! Lovely staff as well.

Had a very good takeaway through lockdown. Me and family thoroughly enjoyed it. Would always recommend

Had my last meal before lockdown best service and food I have a garlic chilli chicken mossola it was great and the service so so good and would recommend one visit before lockdown 😊☺️

Our previous visits to Tufail have always been very pleasant. Unfortunately I have nothing positive to say about our most recent visit. My prawn on puree was tasteless. When I was served the wrong main dish the waiter offered to have it spiced up. I declined. When my meal did arrive it didn't taste anything like on previous occasions . A few pieces of chicken were gristly and inedible I suspect their using inferior ingredients. I had difficulty attracting a waiters attention so I decided to eat what I had. Normally their very attentive and notice when you'd like another drink and finished your meal. It was almost as if he was purposely ignoring us as he kept walking past.. . We had to prompt the waiter to clear the table and requested the dessert menu .After waiting 15 mins with the menu and not asked what we'd like I asked for the bill instead. Which came very promptly(£180] .Considering the restaurant was half full I told the manager the issues and was told "we all make mistakes". Yes we do. Ours was going there .We'll never go back there again.

always good food as usual here i can never fault the food in this restaurant i doubt ill be going anywhere else good staff and great service

Food was pretty bland , staff were good and place was clean but food was average at best

Was very disappointed. Very rude owner/manager. Needs deep cleaning. Some staff were very polite but seemed bullied by the owner. No hygiene measure implemented.

Lovely food always flavoursome and the best onion baajji

This is now the highest standard of Indian cuisine in gravesend where the choice is plentiful always fresh produce and very different array of flavours not like others where most taste the same happy attentive staff always welcoming look forward to our return

We ordered a takeaway, & without doubt, the very best in the area, portions just right & very tasty, the food matched the descriptions on the online ordering menu.We have tried others in the area & Tufail sets the standard, we hope you continue to be so proffessional.

Poor service, it may have been busy but that doesn't warrant the rude and abruptness of some staff... Food was good but not exceptional

Great food, excellent service, good seating. Thank you for a comfortable dining experience after the (1st) lockdown!

Beautiful food and lovely atmosphere!

Second visit, and again a fantastic meal. Really good with young kids.

Excellent food whether you have take away or dine in the restaurant best Indian food I have ever tasted. Nothing is too much trouble. Friendly efficient service from the moment you enter the restaurant. 100% every time.

I come here on a regular basis, sometimes just with my Dad and sometimes as a whole family. I cannot compliment the food enough! I have tried so many other Indians and no where comes close to Tufail. I try a different curry from the menu every time but my brother always does for the same, so on his behalf I must say their Chicken Korma is just amazing. Good quality food, good sized portions and the most amazing, welcoming service. I come here probably once a month as it is my favourite dining experience in the area!

Our group of four eat here regularly on a Friday night The service is always great, the waiters are always polite and attentive. The food is delicious consistently and the menu is varied. Good value for money. The restaurant is always clean and has a nice atmosphere.

Food is lovely but drinks are rediculously over priced

Lovely bright restaurant friendly waitress. Delicious food. Recommend . We will go back there. Price are reasonable.

Lovely food, and really nice staff A+++++

Great curry and service as always

I have always said I do not like Indian food as I do not like spices or 'wet' food ,sauces etc.Also put off by the smell of curry(another dish I do not eat!).However I must admit that my sense of smell was not offended when we arrived and did not cause me a problem at all during the evening.Because of my personal tastes my choices of food were limited but the range of food available was enormous. The rest of my family were more than satisfied with the quality and quantity of their selections. As for me I chose Chicken tikka as a starter as it was grilled on a skewer and did not have lashings of sauce with it. My choice for a main course was buttered chicken which was served ,as expected , in a dish with a copious amount of yellow sauce , which did have a bit of a bite to it. So having scrapped off the offending liquid I could eat some of the chicken.Overall I did enjoy the evening out with 8 members of my family but would have preferred it if the restaurant had offered some English cuisineThe staff were very friendly and although the service was a little slow at times (again understandable as the place was packed full with barely a table to spare) I changed my opinion of using this type of restaurant.

Service was excellent, food was tasty. Restaurant was clean, fresh looking and not stuck in the past! 5*

We were recommended to visit Tufail when visiting Gravesend. This is a modern, clean and well presented Indian restaurant, with helpful and pleasant staff. Our food was excellent and the service very good. The restaurant is licensed and has Cobra beer available. It is reasonably priced and I wish we lived closer to Tufail as we would become regular customers.
