The best restaurants serving Indian food in Shepway South East

Such lovely food yet the service let you down. The lamb was cooked well and fell apart. Naan bread thin, crispy and tasty. Great flavours all round, Sadly we seemed to have been overlooked during our dining. We were offered one drink in the 1 hour and 45 minutes we sat in the restaurant. We also didn’t receive the chef’s complimentary amuse bouches, despite seeing other tables having them. We weren’t offered dessert or coffees either. Upon payment of the bill we did mention the service to the waiter, he said they were understaffed. Such a shame!

We came for my partners 60th birthday. The food was amazing, would highly recommend. Very different from regular Indian restaurant and very lovely staff.

We have had good curries from here in the past but unfortunately, the last curry was stone cold and tasteless. This time it was cold and the chicken was dry with a peculiar taste. The naan was cold and chewy. Very disappointing overall so not sure we will risk it again.

Fantastic fresh food, very accommodating, brilliant value for money, Roger & Claire the owners couldn’t have done more for us and made me feel very safe with regards to Covid. Such a friendly setting. A little hidden gem with a fantastic menu.

Take away client. Chicken Shashlick is my go to. Kiln cooked & not in a high calorie sauce. In 20 years Dabbas really is the best I've ever had & its consistent. The chicken is cooked absolutely perfectly, soft & juicy when it can be over cooked so esily. All the sundries, rice, saag pander & salads all equally fresh & tasty. Delivery is also pretty quick. Cannot fault Dabbas food & service.

Enjoyable from the start this quiet Indian restaurant has some excellent food. We had the Thali which comprises of three courses, served in small dishes. Truly different and very tasty. They have a novel selection of non alcoholic drinks that they make up. Quite honestly more than each of us could eat. A foodie delight. The only down side were people that came in from the street to use the toiler and some noise from the bar next door.

First time tried, Authentic Nepalese food, fresh ingredients and unique flavour, really enjoyed the take away meal, definitely visit again, Strongly recommend this place to try.

This is weird. I live near this restaurant and it hasn’t even opened yet (as at November 2024) so how can it have so many ‘great reviews’. This is very dodgy!!!!!!

I had never been to this place before and only stumbled across it due to them giving away furniture. So I messaged the ad on Facebook and asked if what I was after was still available and was told to go down between 9am and 12pm. Which I did. I got there for 9am. The manager/owner wasn't in yet and after the staff called him, I was told he would be there in 5 minutes. The staff were lovely and offered me a drink while I was waiting. After half an hour and a few phone calls from the staff, he finally arrives. I explained again what I was there for and was actually laughed at. After a bit of discussion, he told me to take the chair and pointed to one next to a main eating his breakfast (I'm so sorry if that man is reading this). The whole cafe was looking at me at this point. I was then left to try and get the chair through the doors without help. Honestly, one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I was made to feel so small just from responding to a Facebook ad... I can honestly say I will never be returning to this place to put money in that man's pocket. Such a rude person! If I hadn't been made to wait half an hour I think I would have just walked out without the chair. If the manager/owner reads this. Maybe make it clear what your ad is advertising and try being on time when you give a time to someone else. Your manners could do with improving too!

Delivery guy was very efficient and friendly

Starter Onion bhajis. Dark, greasy, flat disc of batter with very few onions. Destination..... Bin. Mains were off the New Items list being their 20th anniversary celebration dishes?? Chicken Chennai. This was served in a large container holding 7 pieces of chicken filled with thin sauce tasting and looking exactly like cheap chip shop curry sauce. No vegetables at all. Other dish. Chicken Roshon. Served in the same sized large foil container with 7 pieces of chicken. Sauce was identical to other dish, that is a thin sauce with no vegetables, tasting and looking exactly like cheap chip shop curry sauce. Chef, why serve the same customer with two different meals with look and taste identical and seem to be just cooker meat and thin watery curry sauce made from a powder? I think you have cut too many corners and seem disrespectful to your (now ex) customers. 😞

Good food, huge portion. Nice and friendly Service!

Absolutely amazing food and lovely staff

Delicious and reasonibly priced food

My favourite Indian takeaway in Folkestone, sooo good. They're well priced (and often have deals on ubereats) and deliver quickly - the delivery girl we've had is always super friendly they also do the best crispy chips ever !!
