The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

Myself and 3 friends ate at the Dolma last night it was superb,we all had starters and mains and were treated to some ice cream which had been made earlier in the day as a complimentary sweet.The menu has dishes that I have never heard of before the chicken dumplings (momo) were outstanding. We were made to feel more like members of the family than paying customers we will definitely be returning soon.

Lovely place with really great staff and delicious food. We’ll be back! The kalimirchi chicken was incredible. Thank you ☺️

The food is absolutely splendid. The chef customises it as requested. It has become more of a Saturday morning routine to order and have food here. It’s served with a smile and warmth as if it’s all just one family. There are always new people and new faces of different languages and cultures at the joint, to talk to about random things. The little birds keep chirping and playing around whilst one eats there. It’s more than just a food joint, it’s more an enriching experience to just be there early and find happiness.

Probably the best Indian I have had. I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled as the food was so good. Staff are welcoming and the restaurant is spotless. As someone else mentioned, you are in for a nice surprise if you order the onion bhaji. My wife mentioned that the wine tasted crisp. Great experience, will be the only place I go to now for a curry.

Valentines meal. First time after hearing great reviews, and wanted to try it out. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT - AMAZING. Definitely coming back

To be honest I had been put off by the prices , but my error was comparing these to other Indian restaurants. This is like no other local establishment. First of all , the service is faultless. Secondly the food is outstanding quality and with unique ( for me ) presentation . My seafood byriani came with a puff pastry topping like a pie , which the chef explained let the byriani cook in its own steam. Beautiful. Every dish was a delight. And cost wise, we brought enough away for a light supper tomorrow. Thoroughly recommend.

Having been twice to eat at the Holy pundit at The Hythe Imperial which was a fantastic curry- the family were really looking forward to the Folkstone harbour venue. Firstly we were given menus only to find we had not the same menus & was told lamb was also off the menu -- this was not the best start & set out how the evening was to progress. popadoms were ok but pickles were very small portions & had to order another batch. starters were all ok but again small portions. Chicken jalfrezi was delicious, but once again missing lots of vegetables and the Dal was thin and liquidly, nothing like a dal we've had before. mains once again very small - tikki masala was the star - my king prawn buna was a disappointment 4 number prawns & not greatest taste . Overall very small portions & overpriced for what you get! The Holy Pundit seems to have lost its way a bit, wish i had stuck with my usual curry house the KOYLA at Mersham .

*BEST DECISION* I went there few 4-5 times before with friends and family. We had an Iftar dinner party. We chose Taste of Karachi for the food over spice village. I must say that it was the best decision. The food was amazinggggg. Everybody kept asking us at the venue and even after party where we got the food from. We ordered for 90 people. We had lamb seekh kebabs, papri chaat, lamb badami qorma, chicken biryani, kheer, salad, naan and raita. Every single was delicious. I have never eaten such scrumptious kheer before. They gave us huge potions. A lot of food was left which we brought home (it was already mentioned by the owner Shahbaz bhai that a lot of food would be left for you guys take home). They delivered the food with a lot of care. I would highly recommend them and will go with them again in future In sha Allah.

Went to Saffron with friends on Saturday night, the service was excellent and the food was even better. I am a real curry lover and have tried many many different restaurants and this one would be close to the top. Lovely place for Indian food try it you wont be disappointed.

Staying in the hotel down the road and read about this place. What a find! Stunningly good food and lovely people. I honestly don’t think I’ve had a better biryani. Some great twists on the usual Indian food as well. I had the Thali and it was utterly delicious.

First time dining here and the food was delicious. Dahl was nice but a little bland and could of been more spicy. Thought the poppadoms were a little pricey and the rice portions were quite small. Chicken and lamb dish was tasty. Trio of desserts was scrumptious and my favourite was the tiramisu. Would return and recommend this restaurant.

Lovely fresh food at good prices. Highly recommend. Came one day randomly and have been coming ever since. Today I brought a friend who had the lamb curry and was hugely impressed. I get the vegetarian mix and have enjoyed them all especially the aubergine and spinach.

This is a great place for a casual dinner. We didn’t want to get dressed up but also didn’t want to just get a takeaway. This is ideal, relaxed and friendly environment Staff are lovely and make you feel welcome Food is lovely

Lived in village 10 plus years. First visit to Pipasa. Won’t be going back. It was ok but there is much much better Indian meals to be had and much better quality. The open kitchen allowed me to view rice being moved from pot to pot by hand which isn’t great. In this day n age we should not be getting reheated chicken breast either. They need to sharpen up at Pipasa.
