From Humble Beginnings to Culinary Excellence
Tattva Indian Kitchen began as a vision: to bring the authenticity of Indian cuisine to the heart of Kent in a setting that felt both modern and timeless. The founders, passionate about their Indian heritage, wanted to share the joy of Indian food in a way that honoured tradition while embracing innovation.
Their journey began with a simple premise — high-quality ingredients, time-honoured recipes, and a team of chefs who understood that food is a story told through flavour.
What Tattva Means to Us
In Sanskrit, “Tattva” means essence or principle — and this philosophy shapes everything we do. At Tattva, we’re not just serving food; we’re serving heritage. The spices we grind daily, the marinades prepared overnight, and the hand-picked produce are all reflections of our commitment to quality and authenticity.
The Vision Behind the Brand
Tattva Indian Kitchen Story is one of taste and trust. From our earliest days, we aimed to offer a space where friends and families could connect over delicious food. Whether it’s a weekday lunch or a weekend celebration, we wanted our guests to feel at home.
Our restaurant layout reflects this vision: a mix of intimate booths, community-style tables, and ambient lighting that invites conversation.
Our Menu Philosophy
The heart of the Tattva Indian Kitchen Story lies in its menu. From creamy butter chicken to fiery chettinad curries, we offer a diverse range of dishes that span the culinary breadth of India. Every item is crafted to reflect its regional origin.
Hand-Selected Spices and Ingredients
We use whole spices sourced from trusted suppliers in India and the UK. The freshness of cumin, coriander, cardamom, and cinnamon forms the backbone of our flavour profiles.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options
We’re proud to serve one of the most expansive vegetarian and vegan menus in Kent. You’ll find hearty lentil dals, smoky aubergine bharta, and our signature vegan biryani.
Meat Dishes That Celebrate Flavour
Our meat dishes, from the lamb rogan josh to our grilled tandoori platters, are marinated for hours and cooked in traditional clay ovens or slow simmered to perfection.
Tattva in the Community
Tattva Indian Kitchen has always been more than just a restaurant — it’s a hub for local events, charity drives, and culinary workshops. We partner with community initiatives and host special evenings like Diwali dinners, Holi feasts, and Indian Independence Day buffets.
We also offer a Key Workers Discount and special Student Combos — because our story is also about giving back.
Sustainability at Tattva
Part of the Tattva Indian Kitchen Story is a commitment to sustainability. From reducing plastic packaging in takeaways to sourcing local produce, we believe great food should also be great for the planet.
