The Rickshaw Indian Takeaway

The Rickshaw bills itself as the oldest Indian takeaway in Gravesend and runs from a Parrock Street shop a short walk from the Shapla and Cafe Taj Indian sit-down rooms further up the same strip. The kitchen — registered jointly with Shapla on the FSA register, suggesting a shared back-of-house — runs the classical British-Bangladeshi takeaway template: a long list of sauce-based mains across the standard heat ladder from korma at the mild end through bhuna, dopiaza and madras up to vindaloo and phall, with a tandoor section delivering chicken tikka, lamb chops and sheek kebabs cooked over charcoal, biryanis served with a separate vegetable curry, and the usual list of nans, parathas and rice. Service is takeaway-led with collection direct from the counter, free local delivery within the standard radius, and online ordering through the shop's own platform alongside Just Eat. Reviewer feedback across Tripadvisor and the delivery platforms sits at the broadly-positive end, with several reviewers flagging the relaunch and improved service after a refit. Evenings only — service runs from 5pm to 11pm.
