Zarda Indian Cuisine in Maidstone

We have lived locally for a few years and we have had a take away meal from Zarda Cottage before, but never eaten in house. We did this Saturday and were very impressed with the service and the quality of the meal

Been ordering here for years and throughout Covid when all local businesses struggled we supported weekly, Great food and probably the best Indian around here however manager has started getting tricky and tonight ‘cause he was busy’ (forgetting them loyal customers) didn’t ask how much my order was for which would have more than covered his ‘1 drivers wages’ tonight as we had some guests round and he said ‘nahhhh we’re too busy I can’t be doing deliveries that far on a weekend’. Never been an issue before and we always get charged more for a delivery fee. Regardless of how good the food is we won’t be back in this place again, can’t stand poor manner and service. Carry on with that attitude he won’t have many left.

My goodness .. I’ve come back home with such a bad feeling bad mood and this is not what one would wish after a night out. I came with my elderly mother who was temporarily on a restricted diet , which we explained. The server seemed to Lose interest when we were clearly Not going to be the most lucrative customers - even though the restaurant was empty on a Friday night - but the food was very good. However because we ate little we asked for a doggie bag and we’re told that ‘because of Covid ‘ we had to do our own doggie bag. Incredulous. Covid ? Really? No masks or other Covid restrictions in place ; barely any hygiene considerations noticed at all . Arrogant service . We had to walk up the road holding overflowing containers (which we filled ourselves) The restaurant wasn’t busy - had 6 people in it including us so not as if they were rushed off their feet. Service was dismissive and unfriendly and it explains why no one in Yalding ever goes there. We’ve been meaning to go for years. So instead of providing a service as good as the food and thus the word going round that this is a good place (it isnt !) and so we have it - that’s why no one in the village goes there Not recommended at All. Paying good money to come out seething is not the way to spend your evening Avoid. It looks like everyone else local does , with good reason

What a great find this place is. The food is such high quality. I had king prawn biryani. The prawns were so hot and juicy and the veg curry had a wide variety if veg. Highly recommend. I'm def going back for more.

The manager tonight was just as rude as could be. Food was lovely and he was complemented accordingly. Questioned difference in bill price and menue price and was almost thrown out with him stating it was a printing error. Never ever been treated in such a way and had he had said the price had increased due to current cost of living it would not have been an issue. Will never return and left feeling genuinely insulted. (We were the only diners in the restaurant!)

We ordered our food at 18:30 direct from their website. It was due to be delivered at 19:30. At 19:50 I called chasing my order as it still wasn’t even showing as being enroute. They asked to call me back, which they did 10 mins later. They advised the food would be another 15 mins. I politely pointed out that will have meant it was 45 mins late and will be delivered 1 hour and 45 mins after I ordered it. The gentlemen was quite aggressive in his verbal tone and attitude. He repeatedly spoke over me too. I decided it was best just to call the telephone call to an end. The service was pretty appalling which is a shame because the food itself was good. However I’m personally not willing to order from them again, to be left waiting for an hour and 45 mins for the food, with no proactive warning or apology, and then receive the level of aggression I received.

Visiting Yalding for a work trip, this place is the only one that delivers to where we are staying. Ordered 3 curries. One being a chicken tikka masalla which was inedible. Spicy beyond words. Called the restaurant to be passed onto the manager who was smarmy and had a very poor attitude. Said he had been serving it all night and had tried it and that it wasn't spicy. He did offer to replace it BUT after his poor attitude I decline. One of the other orders was a butter chicken which tastes like a tub of salt had been poured in and the final a chicken korma which was BLAND. £60 wasted! Please avoid this restaurant at all costs

Was really looking forward to Indian food tonight but boy am I disappointed. The Chicken korma was bitter not the usual sweet like version, the garlic naan did not taste of garlic at all and the chicken tikka had very little sauce in it. I feel like i could have made a better indian meal with the sauce from Asda tbh. Never ordering again or will try a different one with better tasting food.

Our daughter was back from uni for a couple of days so (having moved to the area the previous January) we decided to give this restaurant a go. We hadn’t heard anything about it from friends we’d made nearby, so had no idea what to expect. Thankfully we were very impressed; the service was welcoming, friendly and efficient and the food was outstanding. I went for something I’d never come across before, a Lamb Sali and it was amazing… if a bit on the hot side! In fairness, the menu DID say it was hot, but I never learn! Be mindful that they don’t sell alcohol here but guests are welcome to bring there own, which we did. As curry lovers, and the restaurant being a nice easy walk away, we’ll definitely be returning! Impressed and recommended!

Hostess was amazing at catering for our tastes as we like dishes very spicy. The chef came out and asked if all was well too. Each curry was delicious as well as the accompaniments. Quick, friendly, dine in service. Will definitely be re visiting.

Having just moved to the area we’ve been unsuccessful with finding a decent restaurant that caters for vegans. We’ve now eaten here 4 or 5 times and the service, the food and the restaurant come highly recommended. The food is prepared with really fresh spices, it’s so much more than a regular Indian restaurant.

Hi just would like to say that I had a bad experience in this restaurant several years ago and decided not to go back even though we live 200 yards away.Anyway we had a visit from a friend and her family which included two young children who we had not seen for a while and decided to give it a try even though the staff were quite rude previously, We went in ordered a drink starters and some popadoms and started to catch up,In the meantime the food and drinks arrived and we carried on enjoying ourselves.By the way the restaurant was completely empty bar us but out of nowhere the owner came flying out the kitchen and told us to shut up in a very aggressive manor. No point going on no further but we left. 👋👋

Zarda was recommended to us by a friend and we are so grateful. We have been disappointed with our two local restaurants and were put off eating Indian food. We had a take out and have to say the whole experience was fabulous. Ordering and paying online could not have been easier. Our order arrived in good time and the food was delicious. Our love of Indian food has been revived and Zarda will now be our new place to go out to eat and takeout.

Waited 40 mins for curry to be delivered after they advised it was on its way and only live 5 mins away. Cold food on arrival and to top off rice was missing. Called the restaurant and was fobbed off. 2 further emails and no response. Simply do not care. £50 for a curry and zero customer service and taking money for items they don’t even deliver. Used this place for years but never again. Simply avoid they are awful.

The taste of these curries was appaling I will not be ordering from them again it seemed they were done very quick extremely salty and terrible flavours. A complete waste of money. I was quite shocked how bad they were. I binned it all. I have had hundreds of curries over the years these were the worse

I ordered a family meal the night before Xmas eve and it didn't turn up. Called the restaurant to no avail so gave up. I'm a regular customer both eat in and takeaway. On Xmas eve there was a knock at the door and guess what, it was my order from the previous night!!!. I refused the order and the driver left.Tonight (31/12/2020) I called the restaurant to speak to a manager and was informed to call back at 9pm as he is busy in the kitchen?? What's a manager of a restaurant working in his own kitchen for?? I explained my reasons for calling as I very much liked this restaurant and was just looking for an apology for that night I ordered as I was prepared to stay loyal. The call recipient repeated to call back at 9pm, had no time for me and hung up the phone. How rude.Looks like they have now just lost another regular loyal customer and I will also be telling my friends that I recommended this restaurant too aswell to also steer clear.Such a shame but hey ho you live and learn.FromRegular customer Paul + many regular visiting friends.

This restaurant has been in decline in the quality of the food for a while, the last experience will be my last. Ordered a Prawn Masala - the prawns were so tiny and I mean tiny and were tasteless. The masala sauce we bright red, not a tad creamy and so thick that I decided to put it through a sieve to 'find' my prawns - the 'stodge' as you couldn't class it as a sauce wouldn't pass through the sieve without great effort of using a wooden spoon to push it through! Awful. And the restaurant though not open to eat in looked like a building site - just hope the kitchen was in order!

Last couple of times we’ve ordered a Indian takeaway for here, firstly they got the order wrong and forgot someItems. When I rang to explain what had happened no refund was offered. Second time ordering a takeaway it arrive half an hour late but fail to mention they are short on delivery drivers. Food is lovely but the delivery service is unprofessional!

First time used. Lovely food. Seems like a Thai twist somehow, somewhere. Delivered on time. Will use again.

Never had a bad experience in Zarda. Large range of curries and super prompt take away service during restrictive times (2020). The vegetarian range is well worth it. We have no need to go anywhere else, we’ve found the Indian we enjoy the most in area.

We ordered a takeaway which they in which they had forgot a naan which we ordered and when we rang back they said we didn’t even order it when we said it twice when ringing the order through. The dishes had a small amount of meat and fish in them. Also the sag panee was so salty that we couldn’t even eat it. When we rang the restaurant back the lady who answered phone was rude, didn’t apologise and didn’t receive any discount or voucher for the missing naan. It was a least 40% more expensive curry in the area that we live in. Thought to try it out as we had a leaflet through the door and trying to support local businesses but definitely won’t be going back.

Ordered on line and asked for a particular time. Food was ready for collection and, more importantly, we thoroughly enjoyed eating it! Thank you everyone at Zarda Cottage.

Zarda never disapoints, good quality food both when we eat in and take away, our last visit we eat in, service was brilliant and food was really good.

Ordered from this restaurant countless times through just eat. Food is almost never late but if it is i have always had a phone call to let me know and apologise. The food we have had from this place is by far the best in the area. Reasonably priced and brilliant portion sizes. The Murgh Keema Masala and Tarka Dhal are amazing and a regular order for me! Keep up the amazing work and food guys!

I wish I could give this zero stars. Ordered online an hour before last orders for takeaway. Ten minutes before the delivery the order was cancelled online with no explanation. Tried to call but no one answered. Wasted my time and now it's too late to order else where. Will never bother with them again or recommend. You may order your food but the chances of you getting it are unlikely.. poor poor poor. Minus zero stars

I love this ruby but was astounded when I walked in slightly early to pick up my take away only to be told by a really rude waiter that I cant have a beer while im waiting? Never heard of that before ? There was no one in there either so just cant understand it ? Ive always had a couple of Cobras and a poppadom while im waiting in other Rubys. Its pathetic. As for the food , its lovely.

Got a take away tonight. Nice food but so hot. Potatoes and even masala was hot. Mrs who is 36 weeks pregnant wasn’t happy lol. If you don’t like hot food one to avoid for sure ! 3 stars as food was nice

I rode straight past this restaurant. Why? It is now named Sultan (Remind me to update the details after I give this review). I was in awe of the period interior as I walked through the entrance. Huge wooden beams and a the large fire place are still evident. They give any business housed there a sense of prestige, The Sultan definitely benefits from it.The dark haired hostess happily and enthusiastically showed me to my table. I ordered my food and waited a while for the dishes to arrive. The next member of staff appeared with my dishes; his passiveness was unwelcoming. Please staff, smile, engage and converse with the customers (want to learn from the best, speak to the owner of Zarda).The food was good quality and presented humbly. It is just what I’d expect from British Indian restaurants.

Absolutely awful takeaway dishes. First and last time I'll order from here, the very expensive Mala King Prawn dish was 4 bits rubber masquerading as king prawns in a runny tasteless sauce ..... Chicken Madras dish was small pieces of dried chicken in a awful sauce... Special Fried Rice was again tasteless, plus it wasn't a special fried rice more like plain.. All went straight in the bin !!

Ordered from here for the first time tonight. Excellent system online for ordering although it would have been helpful to have updates about expected delivery time. Delivery lady was very polite. Food was superb and very hot. Really well presented, very pleased. We will be back, thank you

Ordered from Just Eat tonight and we were not disappointed! The food and service was absolutely brilliant!

Food is excellent delivery service brilliant value for money best Indian food cannot fault been using zarda for a couple of years

Snowing outside frosty inside. No heating on. Take your coat if you want to eat in!! Couldn't believe how cold it was and we wore our coats through the meal no offer of htg

Such a shame yet again the order was wrong and on phoning up after specifically asking them to take care with the order they didn’t gives dam !! Won’t be using again it happens every single time

Food is great, staff are always polite, delivery drivers are really good guys, great prices, food is always hot and fresh and they manage to find my address

Food was really bad. It was dry and tasteless and lacked just about everything. On the positive side it was delivered quickly with pleasant service, such a shame the food was so bad.

The food is amazing, there’s no other way to say it. Unfortunately not our local curry restaurant anymore and we miss it. Would recommend to everyone

A few friends had highly recommended here for a curry, we usually use spice lounge on Coxheath which is fabulous.

Ordered a delivery.Came without rice or bread. When I called to say rice and bread hadn't arrived they called me a liar. Said it would take an hour to get rice and bread to me. Meal ruined.

We booked online but never got a response. We turned up anyway on a Saturday night and it was empty. We were shown to a seat and asked if we booked and we said yes. Got a table and ordered. The staff are friendly and the food was very nice. It slowly got busier which is good for them. Curry was really really nice. We will be going back.

Fantastic meal, every single dish tasted superb. Prices are great and the staff are extremely friendly and happy to help.

Nice when I've been in the past, but when I rang them (twice) last night on their published number (on website and recent leaflet) all I got was a recorded message saying I needed to dial 1571 if I wanted to access my messages!!!

First visit to Zarda.... food was very nice! and I love my curry..... we will be returning.... shame they can't deliver to Barming...

We have been to this restaurant many times and always enjoy the quality of the food and the standard of service. I recommend you try it.

We ordered a take away for 5 people and all had different things. Two of the party usually prefer not to eat Indian food but even they enjoyed it. But everyone rated the quality as very good.

Haven't been here for over a year and thought we would give it another try. Food really nice. No regrets. Well done zarda

I ordered some food to be delivered previously and enjoyed what we ate. I rang again on June 1st and the very pleasant lady had my details to again to allow delivery, with no fuss at all. The food came well within the 45 mins that was quoted.

Food was excellent and have been coming here for a while. Booked on line but restaurant had no record and was then told I shouldn't have booked on line but should have rung. Frustrating as the website allows you to book. Not exactly the welcome you want when guests have travelled from afar and for a few minutes you don't know if you have a table. Luckily it worked ok but would have been 5 stars otherwise.

I can’t comment on the food , however I booked online through their website . I didn’t get a confirmation email back , so I called them to confirm . When I arrived there were no tables but I was asked to come back in a hour . I didn’t go back I had already lost faith . Come on guys it can’t be that hard to reserve a table , after all you offer this service on your site .

Visited this restaurant twice now and the food is outstanding. Always busy and you definitely need to book in advance. Polite and pleasant staff. Will be back again very soon for sure.

Have used this for take always a few times ordering through just eat... it can take a little while for the food to arrive, (i guess it depends on how busy the restetaunt is)but it's always hot despite being driven a few miles. The food is always top standard and the flavours really shine. It is pricey but we don't mind as the quality is always good! Again expect a wait as it's a restetaunt in a fairly rural location. It's our go to lets treat ourselves to a curry place. Will visit and try the restetaunt sometime too.

The most important question for any Indian restaurant Have you got a proper Indian chef or the usual Bangladeshi from Sylet No offence against my Bangladeshi bhais but just wanted to know

Never had a bad experience with Zarda before, so not sure what the other reviews are about. Always delivered hot (and for free!), really friendly delivery drivers and its always delivered much quicker than promised. Really tasty. Sometimes the same currys can fluctuate in spiciness...

Always a great take away! Delivered on time, still hot and all the dishes we have tried have always been so tasty!

I decided to give this substandard restaurant a regrettable second chance. My first encounter was an unforgettable experience for the wrong reasons.

Ate here with friends last week. Had the waiters recommendation and it was excellent. All food very tasty. Even poppadums...

In my top 3 Indian restaurants in UK! Great food and good prices! Staff very friendly in a lovely little...

Having phoned at 7.20 this evening, we were told it would be a max of 1 hour and 20 minutes...

Having moved to Maidstone from London a year ago we were concerned we would be unable to fulfil our passion...

We love being served by Shah and the staff, always warm welcomed, food taste amazing. Reading review by Scott from...

The waiter/ manager called 'sha/shar' was massively inappropriate through out our evening. It started when it came to ordering our starters when he compared the size of the prawns to the size of his genitalia. This was extremely off putting before we were about to eat.

Great customer service and great food. Superb recommendations from the menu. Enjoyed a lovely korma with mango as a change from my normal

Enjoyable evening and happy to cater to our group , including one of our more indecisive members. The curry was great, the staff helpful and friendly. The best curry house in the local vicinity for quite a considerable distanve.

Ordered the special for 2 at £22.95 off takeaway menu for delivery. Charged nearly £50 and tandoori was inedible. If we had ordered off menu it would have been £35!and.foosubstandard

Have visited Zarda numerous times and each time the meals have been outstanding.The food is always perfectly presented, hot and the portions are large.You can get cheaper curries elsewhere however you get what you pay for! This is simply the best curry house in the area.

We enjoyed a meal recently and would happily return. Staff and venue both excellent. Only small mark down due to feeling the prices were higher due to not having competition in that area.

This was our first visit, and will not be our last. We went on a Sunday evening when you can have 5 courses for £12.95. Each course was extremely tasty, well made and hot. I asked for my main course to be not too spicy and it was perfect. All staff were very pleasant and efficient.

What has happened to the food.Had lots of meals here and loved the food but think it must have changed chef or new owners as food really not good tonight.Not sure will be back. So sad was best restaurant by far for Indian food but.. .not now

Went here on Valentines Day and had an amazing meal. The restaurant was packed and the staff rushed off their feet, but service was still excellent. The food was delicious with some lovely twists on traditional Indian dishes. We can highly recommend the Zarda Special Korma, Garlic Chilli Masala, Zarda Manga Melayee and Badammi Honey. All the starters, side dishes, etc. were equally delicious. We were too full to even consider dessert. We went back a week later and the food was every bit as good. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and were happy to make recommendations. Only downside is the lack of parking, meaning a short walk from up the road. Would definitely recommend.

I live 10 minutes away from the restaurant. I had never used their delivery service, so I thought I would give it a try.On booking I was told delivery would be 45 - 60mins to an hour. After 75 mins no sign.I called an was told the delivery was out and would be 10 mins.Another 10 mins nothing. Called again.Promised would be another 10 mins. Didn't arrive.After waiting 1 hour 45 mins still no delivery. I called to cancel the order.Five minutes later the order arrived.The Indian was very nice, they didn't process the refund which was fair enough.However the delivery service was atrocious, maybe an apology and a gesture of goodwill would have been appropriate. I received neither of these.The morale is the food is pretty good, but don't rely on the delivery service!!

It was my birthday and a friend I haven't seen in a while recommended we go to this restaurant. When we arrived we found that it was about a 100 yards from where he lived!!Anyway, quite a small restaurant in the lovely village of Yalding. Good job we booked as the place was packed. Ours was literally the only table free. Good sign I thought!Sat down and the waiter was on our case immediately taking drinks orders and issuing menus. The menu was extensive with a whole page of starters, and then mains broken down into Lamb, Duck, Seafood, Main Specials, Zarda's Chef Specials, Traditional, Classic, Vegetarian etc. So all tastes catered for!Drinks and poppodums promptly arrived and already there was banta going on with the waiter. Then starters arrived and they were very tasty. Presented on long thin plates which was unusual. The drink was flowing, the place was buzzing and luckily as the group was so involved chatting etc we didn't realise that it was then the best part of an hour before our mains arrived! Normally this would have been an issue but no one seemed bothered as we were all having such a good time.I had a Zarda Green Masala which was something new. Very tasty, not particularly spicy but made a change to my usual default choice of a Dansak! Everybody else seemed very pleased with their choices as well.Going to the toilet was interesting as you passed the entrance to the kitchen which only had a low door so you could look in and watch the chefs labouring away inside working flat out preparing the dishes.So, to sum up we all had a very enjoyable evening here at Zarda's. Nice to go some where different and glad I took notice of my friends recommendation. I too recommend it!

A cracker of an Indian Retaurant with a mix of typical and innovative dishes. I recommend the signature starter - the lamb chop. Excellent service in nice surroundings with a nice pub (The Walnut Tree) just up the road for a pre-dinner drink.

The food was faultless and service was excellent. Staff are very friendly we initially went for a quick meal but ended up spending most of the evening there due to the tasty food and good company

We wanted to try Zarda as it has new owners again and the last ones were not very good. We had dinner with friends and family and had a very enjoyable meal.Lovely flavours, nice choices. Good wines.Shame we had to forgo desserts as the next party came in and they needed our table. But we will definitely try again.

Just very average. Some folks like the place but to me it speaks more of Indian food dumbed down for Kent rather than proper Indian food thus somewhat dossappointing.

We live local to this restaurant and have eaten and used it for takeaways for several years, my last review was 5*.I booked a table (for a special occasion for 6) a month in advance (a Saturday night), the night before I telephoned to check it was all ok as it is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT & CHEF, Zarda confirmed our booking. When we arrived we found that there was a private party going on, and total chaos. We stood waiting for over ten minutes to be greeted and was ignored. Finally I managed to get the attention of a man behind the bar who informed me that we didn't have a table booked NOW as they had a party, even though the booking was still in their book on the desk in front of us. I informed him that I had had the booking confirmed only the night prior, which he said was untrue, then he stated he had tried to telephone me back? Clearly lying. I couldn't believe the attitude, no apology or gesture to try and solve the problem. He turned his back on us and walked away. Shocked is an understatement. So we were left without anywhere to go or eat ! Obviously the one off booking for a party was worth more to this place than its reputation and local repeat customers, I have never known a restaurant to conduct its business in such a unprofessional way. Luckily for us the Walnut Tree just up the road managed to give us a table and a very nice meal too! On leaving Zarda I overheard people moaning about the lack of staff and the chaos -they were still doing home deliveries! Hence we will never use Zarda again.

I had a take away from this restaurant we ordered a chichen tikka masala the chicken in most was very nice one or two bits was stringy but overall well cook rice was nice the naan was fresh I think the best was the poppadoms over all the food was the best in this area and I would highly recomend a take away at this restaurant

I went with my family and friends. The food was very excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We enjoy the evening and will highly recommend this Indian Restaurant to anyone.

Wow wow wow.Have visited many times and the quality level of food gets better and better. Service was superb for our table of 6 with staff interacting with us all and all served in a timely manner with a smile. Nothing was to much for them.Looking forward to a return soon with a larger party of people.Must go and eat here people, tremendous all round restaurant and the take away is pretty damn good to.

If you want your evening ruined because of staff then this is the place to go. Unfortunately having previously experienced a good enough service to return this time round that wasn't the case. The food is nice, there is nothing to fault with that so if ordering for a take away I wouldn't worry with any issue. Service unfortunately is the issue as well as being over priced. For our meal there was no beers on tap only Cobra and Peroni available (small Peroni bottles only) there for hiking the price up massively if your only a fan of Peroni. For service we didn't have the friendly 'service with a smile'I feel they where not bothered whether we would return or not to the restaurant and made no effort. Drink orders always took a while to get to us. Several times we had to ask for our drinks and we cancelled our last round of drinks as it took too long and our meal was finished (however we may have still paid for these drinks as they didn't let us keep the receipt with the items listed) I found one member of waiting staff to be extremely rude, When one order of drinks was placed he heard one order and left our table, we still wanted to order 4 other drinks but he didn't ask or wait for that, on his return with the singular drink we asked to order more drinks he gave a smirk as if we were taking the mick. Just puts a bitter taste in your mouth. Non of the other waiting staff seemed to have a smile generally bad service. The overall cost was over £200 for 7 of us 3 of us not drinking alcoholic drinks 2 only of the 4 drinking only having 1 beer. Left with a bitter taste and not wanting to return or order a takeaway from there any time soon, which is a shame as previously haven't felt this way.

this is the best Indian restaurant I have been to for a long time. The restaurant is easy to find in the little village of yalding. We were greeted by friendly staff who continued to provide a top quality service during our evening. The food was exceptional and the best I have had for a long time. We will definitely be returning and this is definitely going to be our new local. They even do take aways.

Fantastic, only word for it. Quite unlike any other Indian food I've ever had. Beautifully presented in pleasant surrounding by attentive staff.

Zarda is a unique find in the midst of Yalding, a pictures village in Kent. Zarda, the name based on an Asian rice pudding is a great restaurant based in a traditional old building (village pub) but with very fresh and modern twists on original Asian food. The building, although being an old building is very light and modern, no air con but plenty of fans!! If you didn't know better the presentation and quality of the food would make you think you are in a Michelin stared restaurant in London. The staff are also very good and concerned about customer satisfaction.The menu although interesting and having new dishes on it makes for interesting changes they also boast a range of "original dishes", you think yes, I know these, we have been here before! However, it is actually original, proper flavours and old style cooking from Asia makes you want to try all of the menu.I went without reading trip advisor and on this occasion I am pleased. The good reviews on here, including mine do not do it justice. If you like authentic Asian food go here. I live miles away and will be going back!!

This is a very quaint Indian restaurant, the food was lovely and service very good. The only problem I found with this restaurant was that it was a bit too bright and a bit too bland in decor wise but other than that a very lovely meal. Would definitely go back and recommend.

+ ausgezeichnetes Essen+ super Preis/Leistungsverhältnis+ aufmerksames Service+ es hat alles perfekt gestimmt!+ wir kamen nach ein paar Tagen wieder

set in a picturesque village, in a picturesque building, the space is open plan but small enough to still feel cosy and intimate. Service was prompt, courteous and non intrusive. After agonising over the mouth watering selection for way too long we ordered hoping the food would match everything else. It did and we will be back for more. An excellent, original and charming spot.

Really nice meal, korma was spectacular! Nice little chat with the owner as well. Well done! Definitely recommend this place to anyone that is passing through Yalding or lives here.

We have been here a few times and never been disappointed. Food is fresh and excellent quality with friendly staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this fantastic Indian restaurant.

Went with family, best Indian meal ever had! Staff very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend to anyone, if you like Indian food then this place is a must! I defenitly will be going back :)

Great atmosphere, very cosy and pleasant. Food arrived quickly even though it was a Friday evening. Delicious food and great service! Such good value, would go again.

Great food.. very clean.. professional staff, what more can you ask for.Prices are fair considering the quality of the food.

You wouldn't necessarily know that this was an Indian restaurant as it is housed in a grade two listed building in the middle of a village, not far from Maidstone, Kent. There is parking available around the village. The restaurant is small but I think this is better and adds to the charm. The service is excellent and the food is, without doubt, the most delicious Indian cuisine I have ever had. The food is served hot and the portions are very generous. I shall definitely be visiting again.

Had a great meal here. Food very tasty and excellent selection and variety of dishes. Reasonably priced. Friendly and efficient service. Would visit again. My wife loved it.

Our first visit fabulous from the starters to the main. We have visited many Indian restaurants but this little gem is just different . We will be back

We had been in London on a Saturday afternoon and were thinking of an Indian and called ahead to book a table for around 6.30. We parked just up the road. The lights in the town are poor, and I had to use the torch on my phone to light the way!! We were only the second people in the restaurant and we were seated straight away. The restaurant is small, and has great character with a beamed ceiling. Although small, they don't cram the tables in. We ordered a glass of wine each and some poppadoms & pickles. I decided to try something new and went for the Jeera Kata Garlic Murgh which was absolutely fantastic. We also tried the Adrakhi rice, which is basmati rice stir-fried with ginger, fresh chilli and spring onions. It sounds great, but we really couldn't taste it over the flavours of our meals. We finished with a coffee each and left feeling very satisfied. The staff were attentive as ever and the price was a little high, but worth it for the quality. I know we will be back.

Always have ordered from here for a long time yesterday had the worst experience the special lamb chops looked different to one another and not cooked properly rice stogy vegetable curry watery and the owner tells me he believes what I am saying but he gave excuses as to why the dishes were the way they were and he also had eaten the lamb chops yesterday and couldn't understand how they tasted like that. Now me and my partner have had food posioning at the end of the conversation he said he takes on board comments and that's it No refund or anything offered for what happened even though been odering for several years this is the customer service you recieve even from the owner !!!!

Nice warm and very delicious food, friendly staff and nice environment. Me and my girlfriend absolutely loved it. Thank you for your service.

First visit to this restaurant which is an easy drive away. Food was very good. We had tiger prawn korai and mehti chicken with basmati and paratha. Service was efficient. Only 4 stars because the drinks are expensive. £4.70 for a pint of cobra?

Really great food here! The starters are the best Indian food starters I have ever had! The food came out quickly and the staff were really very friendly. As the title says, the only problem here is the lack of parking in Yalding.

One of the best indian meals I've ever had and great service too. Will go again.Atmosphere was convivial and very fairly priced.
