In a rural location housed in a fiormer coaching inn, The Raja of Kent - not to be confused with it's equally fine sister restaurant in Maidstone - has plenty of parking.

Mia the owner greets all of his customers and will remember all of you names. The food is delicious and menu quite extensive. We have often had little extra side dishes bought up to our table for us to try. They are always experimenting with new food and value your opinions. After your gorgeous culinary experience, you will be presented with little glasses of Tia Maria and cream. We are always invited then by Mia to have another drink on the house. This is a large restaurant but most nights it is packed out. On Friday nights he has Elvis along to sing. At the end of the evening most people are up dancing. On Sundays there is a buffet but you can still order off the main menu. I totally recommend this place, you will be given a big warm welcome and then be in for a true curry feast. The prices are reasonable too. They do takeaways and you will always be offered a drink when you come to collect, there is a discount on takeaways. You must try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

The food is first rate, better than most high street curry houses and certainly far superior than anything else on offer locally. It costs a little more, but is well worth it. The onion bhaji costs £3.50, but a more interesting Chula salmon starter will set you back £6.95. The ubiquitous Chicken Tikka Mossala is £7.95, whereas the more adverturous Benghali Mustard fish is £12.95. Sides are £3.95 and Pilau Rice £3.95. Takeaway service avaiiable. Thoroughly recommend.

I came here on a weekday night and waited about one hour for a party of five. While waiting in line, they offered a cup of hot chai tea which was perfect for the cold weather.

The restaurant is dimly lit for an intimate family dinner, but a bit loud. The restrooms are clean. The staff is friendly. I only give them 4/5 because the curries are pretty comparable to places I've been to before, but if I have to recommend one dish and one drink - Okra Fries and Chai Tea.
