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.

Try the chicken chettinad, its spicy but full of flavour. They have some excellent house white wine to cool your mouth down.

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!

But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai.
