Taste of India — Restaurant in Canterbury

🍛 Congratulations to The Taste of India in Whitstable for winning this years 2024 Kent Curry Club of the year award. They have been presented with their award and was very Humble and excited when receiving it. We were even presented with beautiful cake for them. Which was very kind.

Kent Curry Club has been going since 2017. We are a group of friends who wanted to explore the finest Curry houses across kent. It was formed because as we get older, with not being able to see friends as much, with work and family commitments, it’s the perfect excuse on the first Tuesday of every month to meet up have a catch up and eat a lovely curry at the same time.

Each venue is rated and scored in its specific Categories. These are:

Starters Main CCKN (Chilli Cheese Keema Naan) Service Value For Money.

Each Category is scored out of 10 by each Curry Club Member that attends. The highest and lowest score given in each category is erased and an average is found. Each category is added together to give an overall Score for the Curry House.

We visited Taste Of India back in November and we was blown away by the quality of their food and service they provided. The generous portions sizes and their attention to detail made our experience outstanding. Taste of India scored an impressive 44.6/50 which is the highest score of any curry house we have ever visited. We revisit them to present them with their award on January 7th which was our 80th Curry Club and they didn’t disappoint. Actually beating their previous score with a very impressive 46/50. Which we thought was unthinkable.

The winner of each year is revisited in January, where they are given another chance to win this prestigious award for the coming year. We also do a Summer Curry Club on the first Saturday in June when we travel a little further to find a hidden gem. We also do a Christmas Curry Club on the first Saturday in December where we visit a curry house at the famous Brick Lane in london.

Thank you to Taste Of India for another outstanding night with you. It’s going to be hard for another curry house to beat you this year and I can definitely say you have great chance we will be seeing you next January. Thanks to all the staff and a special mention to the Manager, Matia Begum and the Owner Masum Ahmed. They use the same Chef everyday apart from Mondays and you will always get High Quality...

This is a review for a takeaway order on 01/01/25

Chicken tikka (starter) - no taste, no spices just red food colouring Lamb Sheek kebab (starter) - nice

Chicken tikka curry (main) - no flavours stood out, same chicken as the starter obviously so the meat was bland and the base curry (sauce) was edible but again no distinct flavours.

Vegi Rice - nice but under seasoned which was easy to fix.

Payment - their website clearly states 10% off on collection orders. When I went to pay with the card they said this was on cash only. I didn’t have any cash but also the website doesn’t state that term so it’s very naughty to advertise falsely.

I wouldn’t go again, the dishes I ordered are...
