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.

Had a two night family break in Ramsgate and visited this restaurant on Saturday evening. Received great service. Had lovely appetisers and all of our food was delicious. I ordered Kadai Chicken and the chicken was so tender. Rice was so light and fluffy. Couldn’t...fault it at all. Thank you FBK!More

My husband & I went for lunch whilst staying in Ramsgate for 3 days. We had read good reviews which was why we chose to eat here. We were extremely impressed with our meal & agreed it was one of the best we have eaten...in recent years. We were warmly welcomed & menus brought. The set lunch was very good value with a large & varied choice of starters, mains & desserts. We were brought tasty complimentary starters whilst we waited which was a nice touch. Our chosen starters were excellent, notably the gobi kempu - fried cauliflower - which was superb. Before our main courses were served we received a very tasty complimentary cup of sweetcorn soup. Mains [chicken korma & fish curry] were beautifully presented, accompanied by generous helpings of rice & naan bread. We could not fault anything - everything was so tasty & we enjoyed every mouthful. We were nicely full so did not have the opportunity to sample the lovely sounding desserts. This was a wonderful meal & extremely good value.More

So disappointing- some nice flavours, spoiled by over a 2 hour wait for mains, yes we had starters, yes there were some freebie appetisers - but someone has seriously taken their eye off the ball here and filling up a plate or bowl with peppers...and onion , whilst hiding a few pieces of pressure cooked lamb that had disintegrated- does not constitute a good Indian dish and does not constitute good value for money. Table of 6 tonight - based on my recommendation- left totally underwhelmed - as was evident by the amount of food left. Chicken Biriani lacked any flavour, chicken Saag full of saag no chicken. I won’t be rushing back unless someone gets their finger out and delivers the food and service that they used to - such a shame as they used to be so much better than this , now - not even a good Indian restaurant - there are so many better value options .More

A close friend of mine from Shrewsbury booked a meal for 8 as he loves his curries. He asked for his dish to be extra spicy as usual , whilst the rest of us just ordered the standard dish . My wife had a chicken...Biryani as this usually is quite mild . Her dish and in fact everyone’s was very hot / to hot in fact for most of us . There was no visual chilli rating on the menu and the waiter did not ask any of us how spicy we wanted it. My friend who ordered his dish extra spicy said afterwards it was the best curry he had ever tasted. The waiter offered us yogurt which helped a little . I just feel if the restaurant gave some guidance on spice levels all 8 of us would have been happy. Oh yes - one more thing , the kitchen is in full view ( normally a good sign I would say) but the light switch was very greasy which was not a good look and made me wonder about general cleanliness . PS I have never given a 2 star review before and am not a moaner!More

We were a party of nine. Service was good and I thought the food was really good . Including a couple of small freebie dishes that accompanied the meal. One of the nicest Indian meals I’ve had outside of India. However several of our party...found their meals to be too spicy - including Biryanis which are normally mild. There are no indications of “heat” given on the menu which is a shame. The toilet facilities let the place down a bit - definitely need upgrading.More

When we arrived we were sat right in front of the aircon, it wasn’t a particularly hot day and I didn’t fancy sitting with my jacket on, so I asked if they’d turn it off, they moved us to another table that was next to...the door and also had the windows open. Unlike most Indian restaurants they don’t try to rush you between courses and you also get a couple of taster items. We ordered a platter for two, which was 4 starters but wouldn’t pick one of them again, another was cold and another’s flavour over powered the flavour other three. The main courses come with plain basmati rice but if you order two mains you only get one bowl of rice, the main I chose the sauce had a funny taste and the beef was a little tough. The fish main was very tasty and the fish was cooked perfectly. I wouldn’t say it was a bad experience I would chose other dishes as the food was plentiful and the staff were very pleasant, the restaurant was very busy with customers and deliveries and takeaway collections.More

Went to Flavours By Kumar last night after reading great reviews - we weren’t disappointed! Despite not booking, the staff managed to squeeze us in and the food and service were amazing. This is probably the best Indian restaurant I have eaten in, and would...highly recommend to anyone. Best to book beforehand as it was jammed when we went.

What a fabulous Indian this is, from the service to the food it was faultless. We went early evening and had a wonderful amusebouche followed by a little cup of the most delicious soup, had a king prawn biriani and a lamb dish both were...amazingly tasty and to finish Kulfi ice cream, so nice to find somewhere that serves Kulfi. Will definitely be back again when next in Margate.More

I have had a takeaway from here as they were too busy to deliver on a Saturday night. They do deliver, or did so, call them.
