Prince of India — Restaurant in Borough of Swale

Totally disappointing.

This has got to be one of the most awful takeaway curries I’ve had in the area.

Decided to give the Prince of India another chance, as I had a fairly bland meal from them a few years ago. I saw that they had just won an award as one of the best Indians in Kent, so assumed there have been some real improvements.

Absolutely revolting! Bland, completely devoid of genuinely well mixed fresh spices and not very hot on arrival. I agree with another reviewer who said that the food tasted as if it was out of a jar. I mean, it really did taste as if it was out of a jar. Oily too .

The mustard Korai chicken was similar to a Sharwoods jar of Balti with a couple of teaspoons of mustard mixed in. The spicy poppadom tasted strange - like fish oil and was burnt around the edges.

The chicken tikka masala was bright red which I really don’t like - these luminous colours are off putting. But my daughter ate this and said the flavour was okay .

The lentil dahl was average. Special Aloo was mincemeat with potatoes- basically a shepherds pie with a couple of mega hot green chilies thrown in! Odd. No background flavour though - reminded me of hospital food.

Why send rice with green and pink in? I don’t like that odd tri colour rice. Far too much food colouring in their meals.

I will never order a takeaway from here again -can’t believe it won awards.

I did order on Sunday night, so perhaps that was the reason, but I won’t be using Prince of India ever again. I’ll stick to their rivals ! Not cheap either and for this kind of money, you expect a good quality meal.

Be warned about the hidden charges; £1.99 service charge, ( not exactly sure what the service change is when it was a takeaway) and 10p for a...

We called late this afternoon to get a table for three adults and one baby, the guy told us they were fully booked till after 9pm as we had wanted a table for 6pm. We then called back straight away to see if they could fit us in at 5pm and they said they could. We arrived shortly after 5. The restaurant was half full and stayed that way till we left. We found that the food was bland and chewy but the worst part was the service. We waited for nearly an hour to get our starters and the waiters were so rude. They came across as being very arrogant and lacked manners. The very young lad was good though. We've been to many Indian restaurants and have never had such a bad experience. We are usually greeted with smiles and a fabulous service. I definitely will not be going back and I do not recommend...
