Kwok Lau Stepping into Signature Indian on Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Wells feels like crossing a threshold into the vibrant culinary landscape of South India. While the local area boasts many excellent curry houses, Signature Indian distinguishes itself by offering a menu deeply rooted in the traditions of the Southern states, and in doing so, delivers a truly unique and exceptional dining experience. The service is attentive and clearly knowledgeable, making great recommendations for those unfamiliar with true South Indian specialities. However, the real stars of the show are undoubtedly the dosas. If you visit Signature Indian and dont order a dosa, you are missing out on their true signature dish. These vast, delicate crepes, made from fermented rice and lentil batter, arrive at the table as impressive, golden-brown scrolls that practically demand attention. I opted for the classic Masala Dosa, and it was perfection—crisp and wafer-thin on the outside, light and slightly spongy towards the centre, and filled with a perfectly seasoned, fluffy potato mash. The accompanying sides—the warm, savoury sambar and the trio of freshly made, intensely flavoured chutneys (especially the sharp coconut chutney)—elevated the dish from a simple pancake to a complex, satisfying meal. Beyond the dosas, the rest of the menu maintains the same standard, focusing on freshness and aromatic spices over heavy cream or oil. The curries offer a fantastic depth of flavour and a pleasant heat that never overwhelms. Whether youre a connoisseur of regional Indian cuisine or simply looking for an Indian meal that breaks the mold of standard high street fare, Signature Indian is a mandatory visit. Its a genuine culinary treasure that brings the authentic taste of South India to the heart of Kent.

Kevin Boyle We arranged a repast, post funeral reception in the private upstairs dining room, and the service was excellent. From the assistance and communication prior, to the bar service, the dining experience on the day with regards to both the standard of food and service therein, I have to commend The Mount Edgcumbe.

Holly Velvick Just had a delicious meal at the Hand & Sceptre. Great atmosphere, lots of choice on the menu and very attentive, friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. I can highly recommend the halloumi fries and rotisserie chicken, everyone said their meal was lovely and hot with lots of flavour. We will be back.

Nichole J. This place is absolutely charming. I’m a sucker for unique decor and green color (and anything velvet)! You get that, and great food, friendly service, and pretty cool music too.

Alison Sadler Room was lovely and comfortable but too hot. Food was reasonably priced and very good and the staff were exceptional. We wouldnt hesitate to book again.

Peter Ainge First time here after wanting to come here for ages.......and I can say with 100% total conviction that this place is AMAZING. The staff are really down to earth and super friendly, restaurant clean and well presented, but the food? OMG the food was amazing. Some of the best ribs Ive had........EVER! Simply made, but from excellent quality local produce. Well priced for the quality of food. I will certainly be back. Good job Bentleys. Knocked it out of the park.
