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.

Been ordering for over 2 years from the chef Mani.
Courteous, kind, accomodating and best of all always provided a free dish which usually is a winner of the rest of the course.
Prices could come done slightly in my opinion may be a quid , but otherwise we always have loved his preparation and the range of available dishes.
Awaiting the next new menu update.

We order takeaways very frequently. After trying a lot of other restaurants in and around Bromley/Orpington, we found Orpington Citi Kitchen to be quite reliable. We always enjoyed the perfect Indian flavour at a reasonable cost. Definitely worth giving a try.

Amazing food, especially seasonal ones like Raseele Aloo and Kadhi Pakoda are to die for. Biryanis are awesome too, so is Papdi Chaat. Spice levels are perfect and they are kind enough to accommodate based on individual requirements. Portion size is also generous.To finger-licking flavours, add the un-precedented customer Service and you get Mani's Kitchen. It is a great find and we are lucky to have it local to us. Orpington's pride and other's envy :)

Our new favourite for an Indian takeaway. The head chef Mani Singh has put together a varied menu and dishes like the Dal Makhani and Prawn Moilee stand out. There are lots of authentic vegetarian choices too and all prices reasonable.
The new front of staff person Kiran was very knowledgeable in helping us pick dishes that everyone enjoyed.

Being an all out foodie for Indian food I am very fussy about selecting “genuine” Indian food restaurants. This is one of the best take away and delivery restaurants in South London by a mile. The chef is brilliant and he looks after our individual taste and I recommend it thoroughly. One of my favourites. Keep it up guys.

A very good curry. We tend to get a takeaway from here about three times a month, and have been doing so for over a year now. Never had a bad experience. The food is always delivered within the delivery timescale and is always hot.

We've been eating here regularly for about a year before lockdown. The staff are very friendly, and ready for a chat if they are not busy.
They have reopened with table service now, following a few months of takeaway only. The measures in place (taking our temperature, recording our name and phone number, only bringing cutlery and crockery once we have ordered, staff always wearing face coverings and gloves) seem in line with what is recommended for restaurants.
They serve quite a few dishes that are unfamiliar in most Indian restaurants, although some of the familiar dishes are available. They recently changed the menu, but have still allowed my daughter to have her favourite (Malai Tikka starter - much milder than the normal Chicken Tikka), which is no longer on the menu. Some of the food is a bit hot for me, or very rich and creamy, but working through the dishes I think Achari Panner and Kadhai Murgh are both very good.
They don't have an alcohol licence, but are happy for you to bring your own. They do serve soft drinks and lassi. They also have Indian desserts, which are very good (and very sweet).

If you want authentic Indian food , Orpington Citi Kitchen should be on your speed dial . Love their lamb Chettinand curries - best outside India. Garlic naans are light and garlicky not heavy or flavourless. If it past my mum’s critical eye we know we are on to a winner . Great telephone service and prompt deliveries . Drivers place food at your door step and wear masks . We will be ordering our usual next weekend .

Quality is consistently very good. For people visiting Orpington, this is a must visit restaurant. Not many restaurants maintain consistent quality for takeaway but you can be confident they will maintain the quality. Keep it up. Try my favourite punjabi style chicken masala, you won’t be disappointed.

Mani and his team organised superbly tasty vegetarian feast without onion and garlic in a very short notice for 12 people. Not only he delivered the warm food in time, he made sure that the portions are plenty for the number of people and verified a few times. Knowing the occasion of Ganesha festival, he delighted us with his special kheer on the house. Recommend them any time and for any occasion.

My family and I live in the Chislehurst area, and are often looking for new takeaway/delivery restaurants to try. It’s often difficult in the area to find quality Indian cuisine at good value for money. The Citi Kitchen does just that! The food was fantastic the first time we ordered, and we decided to order from them again the following week, and once again the quality did not disappoint! The family really like it here as the menu has a wide range of dishes to choose from, both Traditional Indian as well as some Pan-Asian dishes. This is our new favourite spot for takeaways and definitely deserves 5 stars. We’ll keep coming back here as the prices are very reasonable.
⭐️ Great quality food
⭐️ Wide range of dishes
⭐️ Friendly customer service
⭐️ Large portion sizes
⭐️ Fantastic value
Many thanks again.

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.

We have been ordering food from Orpington Citi kitchen from almost 2 years now and not once have we been disappointed. The food is of great quality and made fresh every time and not to forget all dishes are very tasty. The quantity is great too hence is of great value. We really like chaat, chicken lollipop, butter chicken, spicy lamb and many more non veg dishes.
Best regards,
Sindhu
