The Hill Tandoori

The Hill Tandoori has been a fixture of the Northfleet curry-house scene for years, trading from The Hill — the short steep street that climbs the old chalk slope toward the original Northfleet village near St Botolph's church and the railway. The shop is takeaway-led with a small dine-in area and runs the classical British-Bangladeshi curry-house template: a long card of sauce-based mains across the standard madras-vindaloo-korma heat ladder, tandoor section delivering tikka, sheek kebab and mixed grills cooked over charcoal, biryanis served with a separate vegetable curry, and a side list of nans, rice and pickles. Local delivery is free within a three-mile radius — a long-standing feature — with a 45-minute delivery and 20-minute collection target run from the shop's own website. Phone orders go through two lines to keep weekend volume moving. Customer feedback is genuinely split: a core of long-time regulars rate the kitchen highly on the consistency of the sauce work and the value of the set meals, while a thread of more recent reviews flags pricing and service issues, so worth checking the most recent feedback before placing a large order.
