    SERVICE IS VERY SLOW ! 2 waiters serving for 20 people and 1 waiter was wiping glasses the whole evening by the bar so practically 1 waiter for 20 people. You need 3 hours in this place to have a straight forward 3 course meal of starter, main and some ice cream. Waiter wrote down nothing as said he will remember our order and then drinks order was wrong. Couldn’t be bothered to embarrass him. Food was ok, presentation was nice , decor bland and cold just like the individuals that work there !!! Ladies toilets could not be used as wrenched of urine despite a reed diffuser being in there . Guess they think they are posh despite all of the above !!! Worse thing being absolutely no concept of speed in their service !

    Nice restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Two small issues, not knowing what dishes/curries they were delivering to the table and spooning through them to find out. The entrance needs a warm air curtain as you get a draft each time the door opened. Some people at other tables had there coats on.

    Had dinner here earlier this week with my family. The staff were super friendly and very attentive, and the food was tasty and the portions were generous. We all walked out very satisfied and barely able to walk we were so full! Will likely call in again in the future and will be our go-to takeaway now as well.

    Amazing food and 1st class service. This restaurant goes above and beyond. I went with my baby and they even dimmed the lights near me so my baby would sleep. Such a nice friendly place to go. Food is delicious, I would definitely recommend.

    One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been in can't fault them food was excellent service was also excellent and they were very friendly we booked in advance which I think is advisable here ? Only a small restaurant but I will be going back again for sure it's also very reasonably priced I thoroughly recommend this establishment.

    I consider myself a connoisseur of curry houses in BR6 and recently Cardamom has shot up the charts, it is now my Number 1. Always hot when delivered, tasty and consistent quality ( the other local good places struggle when busy). Keep up the good work guys.

    We moved to Broadstairs 2 years ago and miss you all at Cardamom. We came back today to visit Petts Wood for the day and had to order a takeaway before we left. We had our dog with us or we would have dined inside rather than have a takeaway. We took it all the way back to Broadstairs tonight and had it at home. It was amazing, as good as we remembered. You need to open a branch in Broadstairs, we can't keep driving 150 miles for your takeaway 🤣. But, it is the best curry and definitely worth coming back all that way for 😊.

    One of our favourite restaurants in Petts Wood. Delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices.

    A friend and myself visited this restaurant on Friday night, the meal was too expensive but the main problem was it felt the staff were rushing us through every course manager was so rude I will never go back there again.

    Had dinner here on New Years Eve, was a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Love this restaurant!

  • 1/5 Mel R. 2 years ago on Google
    I went here 3 weeks ago and the food was nice but when I came home later that night I was very sick I didn’t put it down to the restaurant. But have been here again last night eaten exactly the same things (lamb chop as starter, chicken tikka masala, mushroom rice & sagaloo) and again last night I was very ill vomiting etc as though I had food poisoning or something same as my partner. Which is a shame as we enjoyed the food in the restaurant but there’s obviously something not right with the food to make me ill. I’m rarely sick but this has happened twice now after visiting the same restaurant with the same food orders which is a really big shame so won’t be visiting again 🤕

    Great food, friendly staff, a wide selection of dishes (and you can't go wrong with any of them). The onion bhajis are the best I've had anywhere!

  • 5/5 Gael W. 11 months ago on Google
    Got a takeaway from Cardamon. Easily the best curry house in Petts Wood. Very friendly service. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Paul E. 1 year ago on Google
    Established 12 years ago and yet it’s easy to miss, but that’s not to say it should be missed out on. The Madras was the stand out dish, if that’s your thing it’s very good and the CTM was agreeable as many are wherever you go. I think the chicken tikka could be improved, but they do offer a chicken tikka rice which is perfect for gym heads looking for some extra protein.

    Great place, went with work and had a good time, nice food reasonably priced.

  • 1/5 Paul V. 1 year ago on Google
    Second time we took a chance and used this place, as the 1st time some years ago was very disappointing. Unfortunately, this time wasn’t any better. I had a lamb tikka jalfrezi and asked for extra sauce and for the chef to make it madras hot. Yes the extra sauce was there but it certainly wasn’t made madras hot, there was so much sliced onion in it which was absolutely ridiculous. The lamb was minimal, instead of the onion I could’ve done with more meat. The texture for some reason wasn’t a true jalfrezi, as it was overcome with a tomatoey flavour. My wife’s lamb bhuna wasn’t fine either, the meat was chewy and she had loads of onion slices in hers as well, but hers were crunchy. Shame, because we read the Google reviews and everybody seems to be raving about this place, but sadly not for us.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Service was amazing, food delicious. I loved the atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 1 year ago on Google
    we are always met with a warm welcome from the owners here. It had been a while since we had been in as my sister had moved out of the area but it was great to be instantly recognised and welcomed warmly. The pistachio masala paneer was amazing 👏 They also have a meal deals on Wednesday which is a great bonus! All the best to you and I look forward to next time! 😋
