"The best restaurant in Margate, no Kent" Absolutely the best restaurant ever. Always looking for an excuse to return. The food and service is just amazing. Just can't put into words how fantastic this restaurant is! Margate is so lucky. Can't wait to try the new restaurant in Rye too. 22nd December 2011 Tripadvisor.co.uk Peter Davis 

Unmissable. Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. I have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. A friend I went with recently, took a bite out of his chocolate Samosa and declared that they should be arrested for making something SO delicious. 20th December 2011 Tripadvisor.co.uk JC39

What a suprise. We have lived in the Margate area for about 18 months and heard about this restaurant and seen them at some food fairs, however was unsure of the concept and therefore did not make the effort to book! We visited on the 9th December before a show at the Winter Gardens, more for something to eat rather than an event and the restaurant visit became the event not the show! We believe we are very fussy and picky having been lucky enough to travel widely and try many fabulous restaurants, so to find this on our doorstep - at a push we could walk there, is amazing.
The food was fabulous, fresh, amazing and an unusual balance of flavours an I guess this is the difference I still can't put my finger on the concept - all I know is that it is true quality and inspiration. When you look at the menu it doesn't blow you away but as soon as you sit down and talk about the food it becomes special. They have mini courses that they bring to your table of appetisers and refreshers all of the same quality, the main courses are decent portions excellently executed - you probably don't need sides! We had to skip off before dessert but won't next time.
The staff were great, the venue was nice even if a little bit of a lower level decor than you would expect to match the food. The food was amazing. Even my 16 year old son, who reasonably adventurous although a bit fussy was impressed, and you know how difficult that is. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to any foodie and we will be going many, many times again, and dragging people down from London to go with us. In fact we are booking again this month. 17th December 2011. Singapour_S

"This was our 2nd visit to the Ambrette after a wonderful find in August we returned with friends. You might think coming to Margate, especially out of season, that all you'll find is fish & chips shops but this is a hidden haven & makes Margate well worth a visit whatever the weather.The food was again amazing! The staff are very friendly & knowledgeable of the dishes and their ingredients." AP - 19th October - 10/10 Toptable.com
 

"Excellent pre theatre dinner. Booked at 6.00. and left at 7.20. Had 2 delicious courses and litle house extras. 5 minute walk to the theatre. Atmosphere warm and calm with very good service." JP - 10/10 18th October. Toptable.com

"This lunch deal is an absolute steal! Do not miss it. Wonderful, imaginative food, lovely place and very friendly, natural service. Highlights were the squid and the pork but everything else was great too." JD - 10/10 16th Oct Toptable.com

"We were given a warm welcome to this pleasantly air conditioned restaurant on one of the hottest days of the year. Our food was outstanding, and the chef catered wonderfully for our friend who has a food intolerance. Thank you all so much for such a memorable visit." Gilly Wadmore - 2nd Oct 9/10 Totpable.com

"The Ambrette in Margate was absolutely fantastic, the food was exquisite, the staff were friendly and helpful, I have never had such a pleasant experience when eating out, you just can't fault it! Each course came out beautifully presented, added to this when I  mentioned that I don't lke things to hot, each of my courses was toned down specifically. In between each course you got a small taster or palet cleanser that just added to the whole experience. 5* service, worth more than they charge!" Cally Henderson - 1st October 9.7/10 Toptable.com

"The Ambrette in Margate continues to provide quality Nouveaux Indian cuisine. We enjoyed excellent food and service, made even better by the 2 for 1 offer on main meals! Definately not your standard curry house. But the food will tantalise your taste buds." AG - 26th September 10/10 Toptable.com

"I enjoyed my meal at this venue so much that I booked it for my parents wedding anniversary. They had a wonderful time-big thankyou to everyone at The Ambrette for making it so special for them and for all the little touches they did, like a special dessert with happy anniversary written on it-they loved it. The vouchers make fantastic presents what a good idea. I have already booked my next meal there. "

"The Ambrette in  Margate is a gem. Set in an old pub it surprised us with the quality of the food, presentation and  complimentary extras (kir aperitive, & 2 x amuses bouches) even in the 50% lunchtime meal deal. The menu was varied and each dish was beautifully presented and fully described on its arrival by helpful attentive staff who obviously care about their guests. Margate is going through a renaisance and the Ambrette provides an experience seldom bettered in larger more prosperous towns."

"Inconceivably delicious. It's as good as you've heard. What you may not have heard is that they keep bringing you little complimentary dishes. We were there on a Saturday night, and the service went from attentive to nonexistent over the course of our meal, but the food! Oh, the food!"

"The Ambrette in Margate was the BEST indian I've ever had! It was my husbands 50th & I took him & my 7 y.o  here. The food was just breathtaking & beautiful! You would think your in a 5 star hotel. We ordered 2 starters, 3 main meals, 1 side & the trio dessert. It was more than enough! & they also give you complementry bites inbetween dishes. Such nice touches! The chef kindly came to our table to ask if my son wanted his prawns cooked more simply without too many spices, would highly recomend!!"
