The Fat Raj (Sandgate)

Tucked away in the Sandgate area of Folkestone, The Fat Raj has quietly built a loyal following with its boldly flavoured curries. With a stellar 4.7/5 on Google from over 100 reviews, this spot is clearly doing something right—and it’s not just the generous portions. The kitchen turns out the kind of cooking that feels personal, with each dish carrying a depth of spice you don’t always find in a takeaway. Locals keep coming back for the balance of heat and richness, and the consistency is what earns it repeat custom.

The menu leans into classic curry house territory, but there’s a confidence in the spicing that sets it apart. Their chicken tikka masala is creamy without being cloying, while the bhuna delivers a proper, punchy intensity. Everything arrives fresh and well-packed, which makes a difference when you’re eating at home. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just treating yourself, The Fat Raj delivers the kind of comfort that keeps Folkestone ordering again and again. They serve across the wider Folkestone area, so it’s worth checking they deliver to your postcode before you order.
