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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Our favourite curry takeaway (we've used them for nearly 8 years) has been going downhill so we've been trying to find a new one for a while but we hadn't had much luck. Until last night. We ordered from Orpington Citi Kitchen (which is actually...much closer to our house anyway) and everything was outstanding. Indian takeaway used to be our absolute favourite treat and having lost our usual one we've been really disappointed, so I was so excited by the meal last night that I phoned the restaurant like a mad woman to thank them! We had extended family round who prefer milder dishes and they were a little disappointed with the paneer tikka masala which was a more authentic masala than the bright red sweet dishes we're used to, but my husband and I thought it was delicious. The tarka dal was so full of flavour and the level of spice in everything was great. Even the chicken tikka masala (red and sweet, so the extended family shared that), something I usually don't go for, was really tasty - not just sweet, but you could taste the coconut. The king prawn puree was banging too.More

My takeaway was very fast, so fast that the Bombay Aloo, was under cooked, the Onion Bhaji was undercooked and the Naan bread was shown a photo of the oven. The tikka Marsala was excellent, but £26.95, for one edible dish and two popadoms, was...a bit steep. No return customer hereMore

Once again ordered food from here. Always great food and service! Today's dishes were Szechuan Chicken and Noodles and Szechuan Vegetable Rice. Delivery promised in 40 minutes (always wrong 🤭).

Ordered chicken Tika for wife, No salad as generally you get anywhere else. Ordered chicken Jalfrazze , No green chilli’s as you would expect from a Jalfrazze. Don’t like taking credit card or visa. And delivery will cost you an extra £3.00. It didn’t stand...up to the reviews shown on Trip Adviser. Very poor.More

The audacity to charge a portion of Dal Makhani @ £9.50, and the chilli chicken and other chicken items in the Pan asian menu to be lower than a Dal is unbelievable. I can understand the inflation, but this is really taking customers for granted,...as they believe they are the only one to do Indo Chinese. C'mon its dal at the end of the day. Indian Essence in Petts Wood serves the same Dal Makhani @ £5.95, being a Michellin Bib restaurant Food for thought guys. Not recommended at all.More

Mani Singh and his team catered for an evening party of 45 guests in our garden. Mani carefully planned menu with us and arranged for a chef to cook starters on site. Fresh tikka and naans were cooked in our tandoor. A real scene stealer!...Dishes prepared in the restaurant were delivered fresh, in chaffing dishes. He provided everything he needed in a very professional manner. All in all the food was delicious and authentic and our guests, both Indian and English are still raving about it.

Highly recommend this place - This is an amazing restaurant for Indian food and we have been here multiple times and have been never disappointed. We really love the Indo Chinese here and the hospitality and the service in the restaurant is very good. We...also had a party catering order done from here and all the guests simply loved the food. The chef needs a special mention as he ensured that the party order was well delivered and was available for discuss and adjust as per requirements.More

I wanted to try this place as it was rated #2 Indian in Orpington. Went on a Saturday night with my wife for a spur of the moment date night. King prawn purée for starter, £6 on the menu but they charge your £8 on...the bill. Mushroom Bharji £5.50 online and £6.50 on the bill and the Garlic Nans were £1 each more than started online. Overall I over paid by £5, don’t sound a lot but on a meal that taste that bad it’s was the final straw. The actual food: I ordered popadoms to start, tasted like old oil, mint sauce has no flavour and mango chutney is somehow bitter. Everything Tasted tomatoey as I can only assume their using a cheap tomato purée. The bitterness overpowered the flavour in the Purée, mushroom Bhaji and the chicken Jalfrezi. I should have guessed when I walked in the restaurant and it was empty apart from one other unlucky couple. The waiter did ask when presenting the bill if everything was ok and I gave him my honest opinion, discreetly I did tell him what I thought and he apologises and said he would speak to the chef and remove some items from my bill. He didn’t charge me for the £2 coke but then over charged me by £5. Will never go back.More

My first visit to this restaurant gave it top marks but more recent visits have disappointed me somewhat. My penultimate meal of King Prawn Tikka Masala contained 3 out of 4 mushy soft prawns which I did not eat. I didnt mention it that night...but told a member of staff when I next ordered a meal for collection. When I collected me meal I again mentioned the prawns to the apparent boss and he looked at me with bewilderment and it was obvious he was not made aware of the problem. I had mentioned to the order taker to make sure my prawns were fresh this time and that a couple of extra prawns would be appreciated. He told me "Our prawns are always fresh" so I am obviously a liar in his opinion. My disappointment turned out to be two fold. 1) No extra prawns and 2) one more mushy soft prawn. I do love their sauce so I may buy chicken Tikka Masala in future (Until I find a replacement restaurant to buy from) and buy my own fresh prawns to cook and add from Marks and Spenser's. It is a shame though that the service and bad prawns has left a bad taste in my mouth.More
