Indi 18 — Restaurant in Tonbridge and Malling

Tried a veggie takeaway from Indi18 and, well… if subtlety were a sport, this meal would be in the Olympics.

Let’s start with the tarka daal — a dish so mild, it could’ve been a side character in a Jane Austen novel. We kept waiting for the garlic and cumin to show up, but apparently they had the night off. Comforting? Sure. Memorable? Only if you enjoy beige.

The saag paneer was the real plot twist. We expected bold, creamy spinach with juicy cubes of cheese. What we got was paneer floating in a green puddle that tasted like regret and missed opportunities. It desperately needed seasoning — like, even a whisper of salt would’ve helped. We’re not saying it was bland, but it made plain rice look edgy.

Bombay aloo was the best of the lot, which is saying something because even it felt like it was just there for the participation trophy. The potatoes were soft, sure, but the spice level was somewhere between “barely detectable” and “was this boiled in tea water?”

To be fair, the packaging was neat and everything arrived hot — so if you enjoy tidy disappointment, this place delivers. Literally.

In summary: we wanted flavour fireworks. We got a damp sparkler and a polite nod. Hope they were just having an off night — because right now, we’re still emotionally recovering… with a...

I had such a fantastic experience at Indi18 Indian Restaurant that I just had to leave a review! I stopped in to pick up a takeaway order late last night and was immediately struck by how welcoming the place felt it was clean and beautiful the Resturant. The owner greeted me with a big smile, and while I was waiting, he even offered me a complimentary drink—which was such a thoughtful gesture and really made me feel like a valued guest.

Now, about the food: WOW!!!. Everything was packed with flavor, clearly made with fresh ingredients and a lot of care. The tandoori King prawns was perfectly spiced and juicy, and the naan was soft and pillowy— along with their mix biryani just the way I like it. You can really tell they put their heart into every dish.

All in all, Indi18 has definitely become my go-to spot for Indian food. Amazing food, lovely people, and genuinely great service. Highly...

Service was spot on, INDI18 is a very good Indian Restaurant.

Popadoms we’re probably the best we have had, not oily & cooked perfectly. Rice not oily & cooked perfectly. Lamb Bhuna taste was really quite special. Peshwari Naan was perfect. Aloo Gobi potatoes were tender, cauliflower needed to stand out a little bit more and with a little bit more spice to give more flavour. Tandoori Grill was good but could be a little better especially on the smaller pieces of chicken as they were very dry.

Would definitely return here, this could be our new go to Indian Restaurant.

I have called the restaurant on the above as it’s always positive to have critical feedback, they were very responsive and I look forward to our next...
