Kashmir Tandoori. Palace Street Canterbury

-

 Date of visit 8/3/25


This a wonderful Curry House in the heart of Canterbury. I believe it opened in 1976. I will be scoring everything out of 5


Access 4/5


Access is gained to the lower half of the restaurant is gained by access through the main door which has flat access. The building has an accessible toilet which is always clean and tidy. There is a step up to the other half of the restaurant. 


Customer Service 5/5


This is a venue we visit as a group regularly. The customer service has always excellent even when we did not visit regularly, the customer service was excellent. I think the last time I had bad customer service experience was probably pre-covid. Everyone is happy to help and very knowledgeable about the content of the restaurant menu. The staff are more than happy to answer questions about the menu.


Quality of  Food 5/5


We ordered

A mushroom Rice

A Chicken Dhansak  

A Meat Jalfrazi 

Coconut Rice 

A Bengal Chicken

Garlic Rice

Cheese Naan

That is a a large amount of food for 3 people, however what we do as a group is have a little sample of everything. It all came out really hot and we could see that serious care had been taken over the preparation. The Jalfrazi the hottest dish my friend who was eating that considered asking for a class of water, he was advised to ask for milk instead. We left him to eat the coconut rice as it is not something I have ever wanted to taste and my brother dislikes coconut.

The mushroom rice was full of pieces of mushroom and really delightfully cooked along with the Chicken Dhansak which had a an amazing smell of spice, the spice was balanced out well the sauce within the dish the chicken was beautifully cooked.


I have a new favourite rice and it is garlic rice, the taste and texture of the rice with an infusion of garlic is wonderful. I had a Bengal Chicken this a dis with tomato and pineapple. On the surface tomato and pineapple should not be in the same dish, however the taste of the 2 items going together is magnificent and when you add in the other spices as well it creates and amazing dish.


The cheese naan 

The only problem I find with naan bread is that it cools down quickly, that said the quality of the naan bread was fantastic, rich in cheese not too filling and a fantastic texture.


Price 5/5

What we ordered came to less than £100 and was excellent value for money and today being Monday two days afters the visit my brother and I have been discussing have we had a had a better experience at the Kashmir over the years.


Final Score 19/20

The Real Eating Company (Canterbury branch)

 Location Canterbury Date of Visit 5/3/25 This wonderful eatery is based in the Whitefriers Canterbury. I will be scoring everything out of 5 Access The eatery has level access to the ground floor, however no access to the upper floor as the life in the building has been out of order for a long time, I believe due to water damage due to  a leak.  As a result of this access to the disabled toilet is impossible. The nearest toilets for people with disabilities are in Fenwicks which is about 100 yards away. 3 Customer Service  The people who work for this organisation are excellent and very accommodating. The politeness of the staff is second to none. Most of the staff have time for conversation when it is not busy and there is always a welcoming smile. It's also dog friendly. 5 The Food The eatery offers a wide range of sandwiches, cakes and pastries and toasties some of which can be warmed on request. The house meal is Mac and Cheese, not my thing but it's very popula...

Customer service 3.5/5 The customer service we received on our visit was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for staff, which given how busy they were was refreshing. I did notice that a few people were kept waiting at tables and this did not appear to be picked up by management. I was aware that some people were seated and choose to leave without being served. Quality of food 4/5 I had the St...
