The Gandhi Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Gravesham

I am no way an expert food critic. However,as I believe Gravesend is capital of KENT for Indian resteraunts also an avid curry lover. I am going to visit one by one and give my honest opinion: 1840 hrs Sat 17th MAY 2025. First curry in Gravesend and wow,off to a great start. The restraint looks well presented from kerbside. Unfortunately it's right on a roundabout in the oneway system.However,plenty of parking nearby.I will check that out later as in cost to park as its the evening and a lot,not all are free after a while.

First impressions inside is very clean,small,but tables are set out spacious so you don't feel like its small. Very clean and staff are very tentative,but not pushy. I ordered two plain poppadoms. Came with the usual dips,which I gather I am going to be charged for. I believe I saw on the menu 80p each. But wasn't asked if I wanted them or not,which is a bit poor. Poppadoms came quickly,were fresh and as they should be,as in not as if they were on the turn which you find in some restaurants. As for the dips.All made you wanting more of each,what stood out for me was the mango chutney,little black seeds which I later found out were cardamon seeds. Gave it that little bit extra,but couldn't put my finger on it. Just something I've never tasted so good taste.

I asked the proprietor what was recommended as I like to try meals that are different from your normal Korma and Madras's

I chose Murphy masala chicken stuffed with lamb and spinach, spices. Well I never, it has to be the most delicious Indian dish I have tried so far and I in my 56 years have tried a lot.No,I'm not getting a bung from the owner. Also the size of the dish two whole breaststroke or fillets of chicken cooked to perfection. Not dry or under cooked.my favourite word 'moist' and tender. The flavour from the spices came through Nunney..... .. along with the taste of the meat,not overpowering.

So good that even the keema naan of which you could taste the flavour of the meat,which coincidently was not rubbery like some that I have tried in the past. I used to mop up the juices from the main dish.

37.80 Take away the two cobras. Around 22 quid and coming away feeling content,full and still with the taste of mixed spices (in a good way).

I'm going to rate my first Curry visit in GRAVESEND and definately will return as an...

First time I'm dissapointed that I go to restaurant to enjoy the atmosfer and food! Food was ok, but in the menu they need to do changes, because we ordered different food, but came different! And than the guy try to explain, that it is the same, just different name! The attitude of the staff was really awful! The staff is talking so loud in their language and even in English! Just one guy was ok, he little bit get confused of my friend questions, but he politely said-One moment , i will ask. And that girl to who i said this complaint, didn't say nothing, and just go to that owner (big Boss) and said that i made a complaint. And that's it! No apologize, Nothing! We spend in this restaurant £56.70 and my fiend said make it as £60. I said to him, is he joking? Before we get the bill, we hear that one guy (we think that he was the owner or big Boss in there) said - give them bill, they need to go. When we came in we ask at what time you close? The guy said at 11pm. Even that girl said at 11pm before i start to make arguments! We ordered together 5 dishes, naan and a bottle of wine. When we finished all meals we had only half bottle of wine left and time was 10:25 pm , so we was thinking that we will finish the wine and go, because we had a time, but than we hear what that men (Boss) said. And after that the guy came and ask do we want something else, and we said no, just a bill. Because we didn't want to stay at this restaurant any more! This attitude was so rude! So We take that half bottle of wine with us and go. We came long way to this restaurant, it's 1,5 hour drive. And definetley we will not...

I have had quite a few meals here and the food is fine and distancing up untill to night has been great. To night I was abit disappointed and for a while won't be using it. First I felt they were taking to many people in, no one took our telephone numbers or names for track and tracing!!!!!! To cap it all one of the new waitress's through no fault of her own and it was an accident dropped a whole bottle of beer which went on our table, over my son's phone car keys and shirt and of course the table cloth. They changed the table cloth while we made sure the phone was OK and wiped it all dry

I thought at the very least they could have offered us a drink on the house or take something off our bill, but nothing at all . Customer service as I know it really does not exist any more. So...
