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 don’t 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 you’re 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. It’s a genuine culinary treasure that brings the authentic taste of South India to the heart of Kent.

To be honest we went with high expectations. However even though it was not busy, the food tasted good but my wife had finished her starter before ours even reached the table.
The plates were cold and the door to the restaurant was left wide open food did not stay warm for long. My wife had to ask for the rice to be warmed again as her main took so long to arrive it was cold. The decor is very poor, I would expect better. I am unsure if it is staffed differently in the evening. 1 person doing everything and 1 cook in a very small space its no wonder the food couldn’t arrive at the same time.
The waitress was polite and I could not fault her.
I will not be going back and I will not be recommending the restaurant.
As I stated at the beginning the taste of the dishes was good although they may want to consider presentation. As unfortunately in today’s world it not only needs to taste good but look good as well.
Fingers crossed they stay open long enough to learn and improve.

Tried 4 different curries and a biriani. Food was best described as bland and mediocre. Main courses were served in the 500ml containers that I would normally associate with a side dish, rather than the more common 650ml.
Charged 10% service charge for me to collect my own takeaway- really?

I visited this restaurant with three friends and, to be honest, we went with high expectations. Unfortunately, our experience was quite disappointing.
Two of my friends received their food after waiting about 30 minutes, while the other two of us had to wait even longer while they were already eating. It was frustrating that the meals didn’t arrive at the same time, especially since the restaurant was not busy.
The portion sizes were also very small. In addition, one of the dishes I ordered was not what I was served. We also ordered banana fritters for starters , but they tasted like fish and chips, which made us think the oil had not been changed.
At the end, while paying the bill, we asked the waitress if we could speak to the owner, who had been in the shop when we first arrived. The waitress went to inform him, but instead of coming out to speak with us, he stayed sitting in his car outside and sent a message through the waitress saying, “That’s the quantity we provide.” We found this response quite rude and unprofessional.
On a positive note, the waitress herself was very polite and helpful throughout the evening, and we have no complaints about her service.
Overall, the experience was disappointing due to the long wait times, small portions, and the way our concerns were handled. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant to others.

Our third visit to Signature and we’ve loved the food every time. This is not a run of the mill curry house. We totally recommend it. The food has really strong flavours (that doesn’t mean it’s just spicy hot; it’s much better than that). Honestly some of the best Indian food I’ve had. Just take your time, relax and enjoy a great meal.

Although we had recommendations from a friend in our group, who from South India himself- said the menu looks authentic & chose the best dishes to be served to our party- I really have had better.
The waitress needed to smile a bit, the atmosphere was a little dull . ( full lighting, no background music ) only four other dining the whole time we were there- they were gone within 20 minutes.
Slow service on cold plates, food not great, chicken thigh in one dish looked suspiciously rare. Toilet is shared facility no hand drier working- and by Christ you will need this one facility after eating here !

Stunning & delicious food at exceptional value. We keep going back to eat there or for takeaways and have always been delighted.
Unfortunately the service is a little slow although our server has always been very accommodating, helpful and polite. The restaurant does lack a bit of atmosphere but that honestly doesn’t detract from the food. I urge you to go and try this South Indian jewel of a restaurant

Absolutely brilliant food – at least as good as I have ever had and very reasonably priced. Large portions too – two of us shared three dishes and couldn’t finish it all.
Our server was sweet but apparently very inexperienced.
The decor is bland – like a cafeteria. Unfortunately there were cleaning materials left lying around. This was a Friday night at peak time but there were not many other customers. The room was so cold we had to keep our coats on.
The loo is foul – absolutely filthy and very scruffy as if nobody cares. It sends bad signals about overall hygiene.

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve eaten at in TBW or London.
The dosa (rice crepe) was spectacular. This is something you can’t get anywhere else nearby, and the London ones pale in comparison. It was the highlight of our meal. They were also as long as my partners arm! You will not be disappointed.
Beyond this their curries were beautifully layered. The mix of spices in the South Indian curries created a beautiful complexity. This is not your “everything has red coloured sauce” Indian food on every high street. This is a place to go if you want delicious food.
The decor is humble, but don’t be that person, you’re there for the food. The food is amazing. Go. Now.
The staff were really nice too. You can’t go wrong.
Really. Stop reading. Go. Now.

Very authentic and true taste of South India. Ambience and authenticity are top levels as it reminds me that I am sitting in South India and enjoying like home cooked food. Kartika who served us with very much part of food enjoyed. Very well trained Kartika who looked after us. I met Chef Sanju and gave him compliments for food. Naan served fresh, Dosas made fresh like on live kitchen. Very good.
