My wife and I recently visited this restaurant for dinner, eager to experience its new, more central location. She had been keen to take me there, and it did not disappoint. We ordered Chicken 65, dahi samosa, butter chicken, garlic naan, and mango lassi—each dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a warm, inviting ambiance with a seating arrangement that comfortably accommodates various group sizes, whether for an intimate dinner for two or a lively gathering with friends. The staff was very courteous, adding to the overall experience. The general manager, in particular, took the time to chat with us, ensuring that we had a pleasant evening. We highly recommend this place and will happily return for another visit!

Best Indian food I have had for a very long time. Very nice atmosphere and service and also good value for money. Highly recommend this restaurant. Shame I don't live near Canterbury as this would be my go to for authentic Indian food.

Excellent date night experience. My Wife and I went and enjoyed ourselves here. The atmosphere and the decor is lovely and the food is amazing. We especially liked the cocktails (probably the best cocktails I’ve had this year and in my top 5 ever - very tasty and unique). Delicious bread options, Samosa chaat, potatoes but my favorite was the daal (very genuine tasting Indian food) this was the best thing I had all night. Will be back for more of this and the to taste the curries! Service was very friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. Thanks!

This was a very delightful experience! My partner (Pakistani) and I moved in to Canterbury from London and have been on a hunt for good curries. We were super happy that we finally found Sekkoya as their food hit the spot! Beautiful atmosphere, dim lighting that I love, very friendly and kind staff, and tasty food, what else do you need really? Definitely coming back to try more of their small plate dishes. We had samosa chaat, gobi manchurian, butter chicken and lamb curry. All of it was deliciously flavourful. 10 yums/10 P.S. Saeed went above and beyond! Thank you.

I recently dined here with a group of four and was thoroughly impressed. The menu offered a fine balance of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, catering to a variety of tastes. The small plates were generously portioned and I found that ordering just two or three was enough to make a satisfying main meal. I would recommend this approach for indecisive diners, as it will help to keep FOMO at bay! I particularly enjoyed the Chicken 65 and Samosa Chaat, both bursting with flavour. The Masala Fries were flavoursome but had a slightly soggy/chewy texture, so they could have been crispier. If you're a fan of hot and cold dessert combos like me, then you should definitely try the Gulaab Jamun with a scoop of ice cream and crushed pistachios. To top off the meal, the Masala Chai - served in a glass tumbler was divine and the accompanying Parle G biscuits - a nostalgic and delightful touch. The music and decor created a slick and vibey atmosphere to dine. The staff, including Justin and the rest of his colleagues who served us that evening were incredibly warm and welcoming, adding to a positive experience at Sekkoya. All in all, a fantastic dining experience and I’ll definitely recommend it.

Comfy place with authentic Indian food that threw me back to some cosy home feels. Lovely service (Saeed), good portions, and a chill place to be. Just wish the food was a tiny bit hotter but the spice combination's still leagues better than anything else around! Ordering in next time :D

Absolutely amazing food, I came from London to visit my cousin and he told us about the food here. Wow I wish this restaurant was in London too. For our main we had butter chicken and it was delicious, so much flavour and creamy. The rice was so fluffy and tasted amazing. The restaurant is beautiful I would definitely recommend visiting.
