Latest Visit ( December 2025) :-<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the years as restaurants come and go in Ramsgate, Flavours by Kumar<\/a> has persevered. It still looks pretty much the same as it did on my first visit many years ago, and they still have their reasonably priced set lunch menu. It’s also a popular choice for home delivery and one of these places where you know every dish is going to be good.<\/p>\n

We’ve recently been ordering a la carte rather than ordering from their set lunch menu. They have a large selection of starters that we’re working our way through, for lunch we typically order a sharing platter & some extra starters. Highlights include Gobi Manchurian (just stunning, love the texture & flavour), the Chilli Pork and the Mint & Coriander Chicken.<\/p>\n

The amuse bouche and the little cup of soup are also a treat, there’s a good reason this restaurant is called flavours.<\/p>\n

Older review 2014 :-<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been eating regularly at Flavours by Kumar<\/a> for a while\u00a0 now and just realised that although it is\u00a0included it in the No Expert – Eating and Drinking Guide<\/a>\u00a0it does not have a more in-depth review in its own right; which it most definitely merits.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is tucked away in a side street in Ramsgate<\/a> (2 Effingham Street). It is in a converted pub that still looks like a pub when you enter, but don’t judge this place by the decor, this is not your average Indian Restaurant. The owner and Head Chef, is Anil Kumar, who\u00a0worked at The Cinnamon Club<\/a> in London, and in restaurants in Dubai, Jordan and India.<\/p>\n

We go for the set lunch which is amazing value. You start with a welcome drink usually a mango juice concoction. Then a small amuse bouche, which is a mouthful of deliciousness. They have a nice selection of starters, the Masala Dosa is a work of Art, and I highly recommend the Squid dish. \u00a0Next there is a small complimentary\u00a0cup of spicy soup. There is also a good few main courses to choose from. We have tried several of them, the highlight for me is the Goan Fish Curry, it is served with rice and warm freshly made naan bread.<\/p>\n

The service is good and there is a small selection of \u00a0wine.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is well regarded, it won a\u00a0Tiffin Cup<\/a> award to find the UKs best South Asian Restaurant and has been favourably covered in the national press, see Guardian article<\/a> which described the food at Flavours by Kumar<\/a> as some of the tastiest Indian Food in the South East of England and they are so right. If you are in the area, this is a treat not to be missed.<\/p>\n
