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.

We booked in here as staying st the Delta Marriott at Bearsted and was just up the road for our night. However, although very welcoming, we were not over impressed. Firstly, music from the speakers was no noisy and not relaxing. We ordered a starter...of prawn puree for my husband, flavour quite good but not much of the prawn content as other Indian places we visit. The pilau rice I personally didn't like at all. My chicken madras was ok but nothing to shout about. Such a shame as we were looking forward to it do much. Wouldn't rush to go back.More

Recommended by friends so decided to try as recommendations are always best. Ordered as a takeaway which took 25 minutes (quick on a Saturday night so that’s great). It was bland and tasted of nothing. The coconut rice was very basic and curry’s tasteless. Nan...was the best part of the meal. Unfortunately straight after we finished we both felt poorly. We never feel unwell from meals but this was not good. On the positive side it was reasonably price however it’s not worth the illness or lack of taste. We won’t return.More

The Delhi Spice hosted a family/friends get together for us in the attached garden on Saturday 8th July. Nothing was too much trouble. The food provided was a mixture of English/Asian and was all deliciously hot. The pub bar was also well served with very...little wait time to be served. Can recommend this as a friendly place to consider for get togethers. Staff very friendly.More

Who ever thought that an Indian restaurant with an archway without doors, leading directly into a pub, would not only be a good idea, but actually be a real hidden gem of a restaurant! I’ve lived in Maidstone for nearly 8 years and didn’t know...this place existed, but will definitely be going back again. You can access the Indian from within the rose pub or via the side entrance from the car park. Service is as expected with an Indian restaurant, excellent waiter service and relaxed atmosphere with the sounds of the pub jukebox playing in the background. Never before have I experienced a full Indian meal with the sounds of the Beatles and Frankie Goes to Hollywood playing loudly across the restaurant! Food was lovely, really fragrant and perfectly spiced for what we ordered. The bill came to £60 for the two of us, including two drinks each, a starter and main course with breads and rice. Ample parking spaces to the left of the pub directly outside the restaurant. Very quiet at 7pm on a Monday evening.More

This place is LOUD the waiter was unable to hear our order and most ofnthe pub customers were drunk stumbling around the place. If you are ND do not even consider this place. If you want to have a conversation do not consider this place....The food was nice except for the burnt sag bhaji. Tried to tell the waiter but he couldn't hear me so just got out as quickly as possible.More

We went last night on a friend's recommendation and they were right the service and food are spot on. I had the most flavoursome, tender chicken tikka dish I had eaten in a long time. My partner said his pilau rice was really tasty. I...rounded off my meal with a delicious coffee floater. We had a great evening, thank you for a delicious meal and great service.More

We arranged to have an evening out with family and very close friends after a while away. The evening started with a few drinks in the bar and then we were shown to our table at the time booked. To get the meal underway we...had popadoms and chutneys while we perused the menu and then ordered. The food arrived in a timely manner and all together which for 9 people was very commendable. The standard of the food was superb with good portions and all piping hot, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food that is of the highest quality that I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you to Alum and the other waiters and chef, brilliant and we will look forward to seeing you again very soon.More
