Mediterranean Café - (Near Barnet, South East)

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.

Utku Er Awesome pub! Music every night. Great music room! Huge garden even in winter. Good selection of drinks. Clean toilets. What else would you want.

Georgia Hart Lovely food, service & setting. Lovely brunch menu and delicious desserts. Excited to come back to try more of the menu. A great coffee too!

Sasha at Off the Beaten Travel Fantastic Arsenal pub with Thai food. Ive been several times and have never been disappointed. This is a true institution in North London. Great atmosphere to watch Arsenal games with true fans. For big games, get there an hour beforehand, not necessary for smaller games. The beers on tap are great, and they also have wines that are decent. The Thai food is decent but not spectacular. It’s become a bit pricey but not unreasonable.

Llewelyn Jones Went for dinner here with a big group of friends for someone’s birthday. We were so warmly welcomed with care attention and detail. This restaurant is phenomenal. The food was delicious atmosphere great and I cannot wait to return and try everything else on the menu! Highly recommend, so great to find places that are truly community spaces. Businesses like these should have reduced rent or funding to develop and maintain the unique culture they bring. It’s the authenticity of the food in the experience which is over and above most other restaurants.

Samantha c Absolutely lovely restaurant. The staff are very friendly, polite, courteous and engaging. They brought us some delicious little pesto bread rolls which were delicious. Party of 6 & all of our food was great. Will make this a regular spot
