About Lotus Indian Restaurant
Lotus Indian Restaurant is an Indian restaurant in Broadstairs, found at 39 Albion St. The kitchen is open, so guests can watch the cooking from the dining room.

Small dogs are allowed inside, so guests who arrive with a small dog can dine together rather than leave it at home.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food, with several calling it outstanding or tasty and one noting it improved since an earlier visit. Takeaway orders draw friendly staff and quick service. The main complaint is slow, uneven service: one table received only two of four dishes, wet bhuni without rice, then a long gap before the biryani, and the naan arrived after the meal.

“Just back home. Ignored at the front door. Really average food at best and an ongoing arguement in the open kitchen with something thrown made for a really poor experience. A place to avoid.”

“We came here about 5 months ago and our meal was just about ok. But we came here tonight and had a full on meal with friends and the food has greatly improved since our first visit. Well done Lotus you did yourself very proud! 😋”

“Very nice take away and staff were friendly.”

“The worst Indian food my partner and I have ever had. Same cooked tandoori chicken cubes were used in both the Butter Chicken and the Tawa Chef Special. It tasted like the chicken had been sitting around for some time, and unfortunately, my partner became ill with food poisoning after the meal. Be very careful with the way they charge for items on the menu, too. We ordered papadums, assuming the portion would include more than one, but they brought four and charged us for four individual papadums. The same happened with the sauces, which were charged separately per portion. The cutlery was greasy. We certainly won’t be returning.”
