I decided to try this restaurant today after my cousin recommended to me. The food, service and atmosphere was of a high standard. I will definitely go their again and recommend to all my family and friends.
Tried to order via the phone, lady was very rude and wasn’t helping. She was telling me I cannot order and hung up on me. I called back and then she started taking the order and I was ordering a lot of food for my big family. I said 3 butter naans and she goes 3? In a funny tone and I said yes for my family and then 2 portions of samosas and then she said 1? She was being very rude. And the fact she hung up on me and was telling me I cannot order is unacceptable. You need to get staff that are accommodating. Don’t work there if you’re in a mood absolute jobs worth!
This place is a hidden gem. Tried the place for the first time. The atmosphere is not luxury but it is welcoming and clean. We've ordered cheese naan, mutton korma curry, chicken dum biryani and two lemon and mint drinks. First of all, we are highly satisfied about the portion size. You can taste the real lemon and mint flavors in the juice rather than cheap chemicals which most other places use. Chicken dum biriyani is next level. It was very delicious and full of flavours but, I highly recommend you to order a curry such as butter chicken or mutton korma or any kind of a curry as per your choice to pair with it. We've asked to make spicy our mutton korma and kitchen staff did a great job by increasing the spice levels to hit the sweet spot. Specially the meat chunks in korma was nice, tender and juicy. It was nearly dissolved in the mouth. Overall food taste and quality was excellent. Service is something I must mention. Before serve the foods, the person who took our order asked whether we need to make some adjustments to the taste etc. And also after the food is served, they made sure to come to the table and check whether we are ok with the food or not which is highly appreciated. ❤️ Overall this is a GEM to be honest. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is seeking delicious curries and other asian food. I hope the team will keep the same quality in future as well. ❤️😊 (We'll definitely visit this place again 🙌)
Lovely place, serving great food! I was just walking past and decided to go in for lunch and very glad I did! I had lunch special - lamb curry, rice, naan and drink for £9.99!! Meat was tasty and tender. The bread and rice were also great. Home cooked Authentic Pakistani foods.
Full English Breakfast was good, but they left out the tomatoes. Otherwise it would have been a 5. Went there the 2nd time for a egg paratha and tea breakfast, was perfect!
Ordered the Chilli Prawn Masala main dish through Deliveroo. The portion size was extremely small for it being a main dish at £11.99! It barely filled a third of the depth of the container. Although the delivery driver was polite and pleasant I have to give a low star review as I also found a hair in my very small curry.
Amazing place for an amazing authentic meal. I’ve missed these flavours elsewhere ! I loved the aloo paratha that I had yesterday. It was crispy and tasty. The wonderful lady who is the shop owner is amazing ! She made me feel like we were all a part of the same family. I look forward to eating the authentic desi curries soon ! Everyone needs to know about this fantastic place and I shall be spreading a word for them everywhere :)
We visited this new Indian/Asian cafe-restaurant in Chatham today and enjoyed home-made Indian Breakfast. Parathas served with aachar(pickle), yogurt, chutneys and Dosa served with coconut and garlic chutney. Masala tea was proper home made Indian tea and not pre-mix ready made version. Owners Mr & Mrs Ali were so warm and welcoming. Chef made healthy, delicious Indian breakfast for us. Their menu has lots of varieties of Indian, Arabic and Pakistani street food aswell as authentic currys. Food prices are very reasonable and good sized portion of food. Must try and highly recommend this place to all the foodies.
Great place, thank you!
Excellent taste and choice of food. I tried their breakfast and haleem, it was wonderful.
Amazing food. Hidden Gem
Tried to call to make an order over the phone, the lady I spoke to said I wasn t allowed to order for collection and when i said why she said I m not allowed, she then proceeded to hang up on me and then spoke in a very rude tone. I said okay I ll deliver then and she said no. Why would you have a person who s not willing to talk to customers on the phone as an employee. Lost out on good customers as I was going to spend a lot for a big family. Don t hire people that are rubbish at their job. Avoid this place
The family that run this delightful cafe were lovely, welcoming &very helpful. The cafe was spotlessly clean & had very atmospheric decoration. Extremely good value for excellent all homemade items. Flavours amazing all round a place to go with family or couple. Breakfssts also included and english dishes, for all tastes. Please try you wont be dissapointed.
I placed an order online through Uber, delivery driver was really nice and respectful. All the food I ordered was so delicious. 10/10. Perfect authentic Asian food would deffo be coming here again with family!!! Vegetarian options: I got the onion pakora and the punjabi somosa which was extremely nice!!! 9/10 all the sauces were very nice
Best food in Chatham. Awesome food and high cleanliness.
Popped in with my friend for lunch as I had often seen the menu board outside offering a lunch time meal which sounded really appealing to me, and with a price of £9.99 for a curry, rice, bread and drink it just had to be tried. After having a look through the menu which was varied with a good choice we decided to go for different items which werent included in the daily special. My friend had the Paneer tikka masala and after chatting with the lovely chef I decided on the Lamb badani. We shared a rice, and ordered a chapati and a garlic naan. Both curries smelt divine when bought to the table and tasted just as good. The rice was perfectly cooked and the breads were great especially the naan. Freshly cooked, crispy underneath and covered in garlic. It was definitely one of the best naans ( and curries )Ive had. Good portions and lots to choose from. Different types of breakfasts are also available and I will be calling in soon to try them. This is a gem of a place and I couldnt recommend it enough.
I buy the parathas aloo and murli alongside the halwa. Im a fussy eater and I have to say its very good. I have ordered repeatedly and its 4 out of 5 stars. One day I will come and eat in person. Thank you so much for having these options and making them to pakistani cuisine. Keep it up.
Very good and tasty food, reasonable price, Staffs are nice and friendly, must try , Food
Must try. Good portrait and food. Do try the masala dosa, its so good.
We ordered a range of dishes from the vegan menu and everything we had was delicious. The unassuming cabbage rice was an excellent side to the three curries we had. We also enjoyed some dosa. The food is clearly homemade and lovingly prepared - there was none of the generic Indian restaurant flavour you can get if you re unlucky. Everything had its own flavour and was excellent. Very nice staff too. Would definitely eat there again.
Went for the first time today after heading lots of recommendations. The vegan menu was large and everything we ordered was sooo good. Staff were lovely too. Well definitely be going back again to try out more items on the menu! Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian and vegan selection.
Quality food at reasonable prices
Ordered via phone. Wouldn t get told the bill, won t take payment over the phone. When I called back after 10 minutes just to find out how I can pay / what the bill is. The condescending woman who took my order asked if I do not have enough money to pay for my food. Then proceeded to tell me she s too busy to do my bill and let me know the total?? Would ve been first order with them but I don t recommend ordering over the phone.
Excellent lunch. Had a few different dishes and all were superb, particularly the Karachi Bun Kebab. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely go back. Really good value too.
Their food is realy amazing. So tasty, very yummy and nice friendly enviroment. Wish to have this restaurant in London.
Very nice place, staff are very friendly and the food was excellent with *loads* of choice. Plenty of space in the restaurant and a good atmosphere. The food was really good and tasted home cooked and there was lots of choice for vegan and vegetarian diners. We will definitely be going back soon! Update: we have eaten there a few times since and still very happy with the food and service. Probably my favourite local restaurant
Had great test, Good hospitality.
Good food proper Indian test Vegetarian options: Mostly vegetarian food is available Food : 5/5 |
Felt Good food and reasonable Prices
Found this gem of a south asian and middle eastern food neighbourhood restaurant, run by Ms Ali and her family. Besides everything else on their menue, they offer an impressive 32 vegan meals options out of which we tasted a total of six, all home-made and delicious. During our visit we also learned about Ms Alis vegan food philosophy which we found very compelling. For us, the Curry Chemistry Cafe surely now is the best vegan eating out option in Medway. Vegetarian options: An amazing range of 32 vegan food options, skillfully prepared by Ms Ali and her team, based on a thorough understanding of the principles of the vegan food philosophy.
Very tasty food & try kashmiri chai aswel
Wonderful service and homemade food for reasonable prices! Not your average cafe in Chatham. Offer a full vegan menu too. Will be back Vegetarian options: Great vegan menu
Excellent quality of food best service. I recommend
Excellent yummy delicious food with perfect atmosphere very cooperative service. Recommend for dine out
Good service fresh food and tasty
This hotel is the one of the best Indian hotel, the taste of the food items in there is hilarious . Especially the lamb biriyani and other biriyani, their customer services is awesome and the quality of food is super.
We had food delivered. The naan and khubz bread were incredible, so soft and fluffy! The toum and muhmamara were delicious as was the shami. 10/10 will definitely order again!
Great food, lovely people. Wonderful service from their young daughter. I highly recommend you try them. Repeatedly- there are so many dishes to try! This was our second visit. We will definitely be going again.
The Biryani might not be the best. But it doesn t change the fact that it was still really good. From the spiciness and the chicken which gives it a rich flavour. This place is a good option if you don t want to spend too much on a meal. You get what you pay for when dining here.
Loved the atmosphere, its so soothing, the food was very nice, would com here again
Amazing food cooked fresh, lovely staff and a chilled atmosphere. Will go again Food
amazing food, very friendly lovely to talk to, great service ten out of ten would recommend to all my friends love it Vegetarian options: Yes Kid-friendliness: Very
Very disappointing portion size which was only around half the container. Not what I expect for £11.99!
We really enjoyed out meal here, we will definitely return.
Feels like homemade food , very comfy .. the couple is amazing ..we are going to be regular there
the steak burger was really nice and tasted delicious just like McDonald s, the chicken korma was appetizing and well cooked
This hidden gem is a delightful surprise! The authenticity and flavors in the dishes are just amazing, and they come at incredibly affordable prices. Its like a well-kept secret that deserves to be known by more. A special mention to the lovely shop owner, who feels just like family, and her homemade dishes are simply mouthwatering. Weve even decided to make it a daily treat for just £35 weekly.
Very calm and cosy environment, delicious food. We ordered Pakistani breakfast and Curry. Both were delicious.
Outstanding. Had the Arabic breakfast platter which ticked every box from fresh, healthy and delicious to great value.
This afternoon we went in for a quick bite me and my husband. The service was quite good and the chicken dum biryani was the winner for us.
All the food here is freshly cooked so be prepared for a short wait until it arrives. When it does come youll find the wait is really worthwhile. The flavours are great. There is a very long menu with many choices. There is a vegan section on the menu with lots of choices. I am vegan and Im overwhelmed by the choice offered. The restaurant is not licensed but Ive seen customers bringing wine in. When I want Indian food this is where I go. Vegetarian options: Brilliant. Dietary restrictions: I am wheat free and this is understood
Really great food, welcoming owners and staff. There is a large menu and separate vegan menu. I recommend trying the Turnip Kebab patty & Masala Dosa. Will be back again (the smoothies are also very nice!)
