About
We opened our doors for business in November 2012 with the solid ambition to serve high quality authentic Indian cuisine in Petts wood. Indian food over time has escaped the European misunderstanding or notion of ‘one sauce fits all’ and has been recognised for the rich dining experience with all the wonderful potent flavours of Subcontinent Cardamom Petts Wood wanted to contribute to the Indian food awakening and so when a suitable premise came available in Kent at the heart of a busy London suburb, Cardamom Petts Woods Restaurant as it is today was born. The Cardamom team will happily espouse the many virtues of their style of cooking, dedicated to balance and care of the body. Our staff hail

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

From start(er) to finish, it was proper naughty. Best curry I’ve had in the area and will no doubt become a regular. The Chilean wine is a winner and a Wednesday night special is not to be ignored. Highly recommend.

Ordered King Prawn Biryani, have always really enjoyed from Cardamom whether eaten in or takeaway. Sorry to say that tonight’s dish was very bland & lacking in Prawns.

The service was disgusting, we were left sitting at the table for over 20mins had to call waiter to get a drink order and menus. Drink order was wrong, no apology about the mistake. Had to ask for Popadoms also waiter to take meal order....We waited about 45mins for meal to arrive. There were no enquires as to any more drinks, coffee or desserts. When I complained to the waiter about the service he just smiled at me!! The food is excellent. I will not be visiting this restaurant again.More

We visited during the eat out to help out campaign on a Wednesday evening as it’s their special night £11.99 for a 4 course meal. We all ordered a starter, main, side and rice or nan as per the £11.99 special with some beers and...poppadoms. We we not informed at any time that the Wednesday special was not available so when the bill arrived we were shocked at the price at over £100 for 3 people. This cost more than it would have with the special deal... so totally voided the eat out to help out plus cost extra! We were all regular users of Cardamom using the takeaway service but this has left us all with a bad taste and now we will take our business elsewhere. I gave 3 stars as there was nothing to complain about with the food. Just the fact they are taking advantage of the government scheme.More

I was in a party of 10 that visited Cardamom unannounced on a Sunday evening. We were welcomed into the restaurant by the staff and some customers were happy to move their table in order that our party could sit together. Very very friendly we...thought. The atmosphere was very good. All the staff were friendly, calm and very efficient. There is an extensive choice on the menu and all the food consumed was excellent. We have visited this restaurant a few times previously and its always delivered a great experience.More

Surprisingly good food for a small local Indian restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive, with a problem with the bill being rectified quickly. Really delicious food, would definitely recommend.
