The Tandoori Hut — Restaurant in Folkestone and Hythe District

Order 1 (takeaway) -

VERY fast service; received our order within 40mins, which for a Friday night is rare treat nowadays. Usually with a quick delivery you’ll suffer on the quality of the food, however food was cooked perfect and the flavours were absolutely magic. Didn’t catch the delivery driver’s name (beard and short hair) but was such a nice guy!

• Chicken Tikka Masala 5/5

• Lamb Tikka Masala 4/5 *slightly chewy lamb but masala flavour was top notch

• Coconut rice 5/5

• Garlic Fried Rice 5/5 *Best rice I have ever had in my LIFE. I’m a huge garlic lover and this has full cloves mixed in, really strong flavour.

• Cheese Naan 4/5 *great flavour, could have a bit more cheese inside but only complaint.

• Peshwari Naan 5/5

Order 2 (eat-in) -

Wanted to see if the food was as-good eating-in. Switched up the order a little, and food was even better than our first order.

• Tikka Paneer Starter 5/5 *would recommend this to anyone who’s on the Halloumi craze right now - it’s basically Halloumi chunks cooked tikka-style

• Garlic Fried Rice 5/5

• Bombay Aloo 5/5

• Chicken Tikka Masala 5/5

• Chicken Tikka Pathia 5/5 *Really sweet and good amount of heat, would definitely recommend

• Cheese Naan 5/5

Would absolutely recommend this restaurant and will be bringing our curry-loving family down to try in the...

A terrible experience this evening with awful service and even worse food. Please go to this place if you wish to have a terrible time. In my experience it is unusual to have waiters walk away from you and turn their back when you are speaking to them but the staff here don’t seem to appreciate that verbal communication is still moderately fashionable. We complained about the food we had been served and our complaints fell upon deaf ears. When we pointed out our bland, tasteless and watery biriyani should contain the array of spices that the menu implied it should the waiter picked up my dish and took it to the kitchen and after two minutes returned to my table and assured us the chef had used all the spices and flavourings at his disposal - a complete falsification in my opinion. There was no attempt to placate our complaints and there is no doubt in my mind that any complaints we made have been heeded. This place is clearly not used to criticism and judging by the response from the staff we encountered they don’t care as they will continue serving food of questionable quality way beyond any of this evening...

Had a table booked for 8pm for 8 people, orders where taken for Starters , Drinks and Main Courses by 8:20 , Starters & Drinks arrived-but then had to wait until gone 10pm for main courses - in which 1 didn’t even arrive, so was Cancelled , & another had to be warmed up again , as it went cold while waiting for the other part of it to arrive. At bill paying time , we had to haggle with the Manager about the Service & the long wait - in which he said that he would not charge us for what didn’t arrive 🤔. Had to explain in detail as to why he needed to reduce the bill by more because of the long wait - his excuse was that he was short staffed in the kitchen , but there was a steady flow of Takeaway orders going out the door , as he prioritized Telephone & Online Bookings over Dine In Customers. My advice is that if you book a table by phone or online for a certain time , place your order at the same time , that way , hopefully the wait won’t be so long. Family have caravans nearby , but can’t see them rushing back - unless they have plenty of time to kill. Food Good 👍🏻 ,...
