Regency Tandoori
About This Spot
Stepping into Regency Tandoori in Westgate-on-Sea is like finding a familiar corner of South Asia tucked gently into an English seaside town. The atmosphere strikes a quiet balance between hearty and welcoming — a place where you can feel equally comfortable celebrating a special occasion with a large group or settling in for a comforting meal after a day spent by the coast.
The pace here never feels rushed, though the space has the pleasant hum of a busy neighborhood spot where regulars and newcomers alike come together around tables sharing stories and savoring flavors. Warm lighting and attentive but unobtrusive service create an environment that’s both inviting and relaxed, encouraging lingering over the meal and the company.
Regency Tandoori's menu offers a rich palette of South Asian dishes that invite discovery in every bite — from the delicate sweetness of a freshly baked Pashwari Nan to the comforting, spiced richness of a Chicken Madras. The food feels thoughtfully prepared, with care taken to honor traditional flavors while making them accessible and satisfying for every diner. It’s the kind of place where familiar favorites meet subtle surprises, revealing themselves over the course of a meal that feels homely yet special.

We love coming to this restaurant but last nights experience was disappointing. The quality of food and service is outstanding but we felt that we were being rushed to finish our meals. One of us had our plate taken before we had even finished! The reason we think was that the restaurant was busy with people turning up without reservations. We booked our table and didn’t realise there was a time limit. We were planning on having another drink but then the bill was placed on the table!

Seventeen of us descended on this place for a "significant" birthday meal. We were so well looked after and the food was delicious. The best tarka dhal I have ever enjoyed, with the chef doing it exactly the way I requested it. Worth a visit to Westgate for a visit to this place

We had our family Christmas meal on Christmas day. The food was great and lots of it, the staff were attentive and could't do enough for us. It was worth having family time and we were well looked after and it is our second year.

Best Indian Resturant in all of Thanet. Its been going years and years and the standards have never dropped. Myself and my partner went here for an impromptu meal and were lucky enough to be able to get a table as it was already fairly full just after opening time. We ordered 4 poppadoms and a drink to start and these came almost instantly. For mains we ordered, onion bhaji, chicken tikka korma, garlic naan and mushroom rice. This came no longer than 5 minutes after and was cooked to perfection. The staff were attentive and friendly. Total mean without service came to £35, which is also a steal.

Love it here. The food is great and the team very helpful and friendly. Often have my mum in her wheelchair with us and the staff always make sure we have a table that works with the chair.
