This place is simply fantastic. The food is seasoned to perfection and it stands out from your typical curry house. The owner is incredibly pleasant and demonstrates a genuine passion for her restaurant. We also returned for the lunchtime special; for just £6, it was a delicious treat! We shared their spicy chips, which were unique but absolutely delicious. The dishes here are a hidden gem in West Malling!

A fantastic place to eat in West Malling! The food is excellent, ranging from chicken skewers in a delicious sauce to cheese toasties, all accompanied by a flavorful salad. The masala chips are a must-try; they are incredibly tasty. You can enjoy a variety of curry dishes and other meals either inside the restaurant or outside. Rhiannon and Catie provided very friendly service.
