“The Mumbai street food dishes disguised as fine-dining are superb”“a cut above the usual” – say fans of Dev Biswal’s Margate base, opposite the Turner Gallery (there are now spinoffs in Rye and Canterbury, as well as a takeaway kitchen in Ashford); even if there’s “less ambience” than in the restaurant’s original, tighter space in King Street. Afternoon tea is also a possibility here, “with high teas from the best days of the Raj”.

“Amazing and very different” Indian “fusion” cuisine (fans say it’s “better than Benares in London”) inspires nothing but praise for Dev Biswal’s “buzzy” Margate HQ, opposite the Turner Gallery – and with outposts in Canterbury and Rye. In 2018 it relocated to the former Hoy pub after eight years at its original King Street site, and the “much more comfortable” surrounds contribute to make a visit a “real joy”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
