Shamrat Indian Brasserie - Maidstone

Father's day at Shamrat with the children was amazing. Children could not stop laughing, the service and food was fantastic and at great competitive prices. The manager is one of the best front of house maitres I have come across even when dining in India which I have visited on many a business occasion. Absolutely the best Indian restaurant in Maidstone and definitely worth a visit. 5 stars all round and we should know as we own Stone Court House.

We had a lovely lunch (31/05/23). Staff were very helpful and friendly, 4 people dining. Food was absolutely amazing, our starters of salmon del, tempura prawns and samosa (veg) were cooked to perfection and quite tasty. Our mains of chicken korma for 1 with plain rice was just the right heat for a 1st time diner, the duck and chicken jel frazie were quite heat hot, but totally enjoyed along with the lemon rice. Our dessert of banoffee and chocolate samosa finished off a lovely lunch. Brilliant portions too. Service was prompt, drink choices good. Waiters regularly checked to see if everything was okay with our courses. Must say the salad on the starters was absolutely fresh and very tasty (not like some establishments where they use pre-packed salad leaves yuk). Heated lemon towel a good addition after mains to freshen up our hands. Would I recommend dining here? Absolutely I would. Thank you everyone on duty on our visit Service from you all. Only gave 3 stars for atmosphere as we were the only diners for lunch. Can imagine a 4/5 star rating if busy, as our friends son regularly dines here and he recommended that we booked in advance due to how busy they normally are when he visits in the evening. Very glad he recommended dining here. The offer of a drink at the end of meal was very much appreciated but sadly we were driving so had to decline.

Had takeaway from here several times and the food is always excellent. As it says on the menu though Jal Frezi is very spicy would only recommend if you like it hot. Delivery is usually very good but also easy enough to collect from the restaurant have done both, usually always to the estimated time of delivery or collection.

I’m not sure what these guys do to their food whether they have some kind of magic elixir or something but it is incredible. Best Indian I have ever eaten by a million miles. It is a little bit pricier than your average but make no mistake the quality of food is one thousand percent worth it. Service is brilliant too staff very friendly and accommodating and the restaurant is immaculately clean. I never want to go anywhere else for an Indian.

As always, we had a fantastic meal, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond. It was truly priceless to take my 2.5-year-old granddaughter there for her first visit. Thank you, Li, for taking such great care of us, as always!
