A Michelin Bib Gourmand Culinary Experience in Kent

Dine in with us or enjoy Indian Essence by Chef Atul Kochhar in the comfort of your own home this weekend. We are exceptionally proud to be recognised as a leading destination for genuine Indian cuisine, showcasing vibrant regional flavours, expertly balanced spice blends, and the warm, inviting aromas of our traditional tandoor.

Authentic Spices and Signature Tandoori Masterpieces

Begin your culinary journey with our exceptional starters and coastal specialities. Our signature Kebab Platter offers a curated selection including lime-scented king prawns, tender lamb chops, stone bass, and duo of chicken tikka, accompanied by a crisp baby leaf salad. Seafood lovers can savour the Tandoori Jhinga—king prawns grilled in a fragrant garlic and lemongrass marinade—or the Samudri Khazana, featuring pan-seared scallops, sea bass, and asparagus in a raw mango charu sauce. For a true taste of the South, explore our Meen Malabar tandoori monkfish with coconut and tamarind, or indulge in our luxurious Tandoori Cornish Lobster Tawa Masala.

Our main courses celebrate the rich diversity of India’s culinary landscape alongside premium British produce. Enjoy classics such as Murg Makhani, featuring tandoori corn-fed chicken in a creamed tomato and fenugreek sauce, or the Southern-spiced Kori Gassi. For meat connoisseurs, we offer a historic Anglo-Indian Railway Lamb Curry served with masala roast potatoes, or the deeply flavourful Lamb Nihari. Experience contemporary excellence with our Hiran Do Tarike—pan-seared venison fillet marinated in crushed pepper and stone fungus—or savour the coastal delicacy of Golmirch Gosht, featuring diced goat leg cooked with fresh peppercorns and curry leaves.

Our vegetarian offerings are crafted with equal passion and complexity. Delight in Shahi Malai Kofta—spiced vegetable and kale dumplings in a saffron-infused tomato sauce—or the rich Tandoori Paneer Butter Masala. Explore the robust flavours of Amritsari Pindi Chole, smoked Baingan Ka Bharta, and our house speciality yellow or black dal. These vibrant vegetable dishes are perfectly complemented by our tandoor-baked breads and fragrant rice, ensuring a deeply satisfying dining experience for every guest.
