Appamma Kitchen Srilankan & Indian Restaurant

In Maidstone, Appamma Kitchen Srilankan & Indian Restaurant brings the vibrant, aromatic cooking of South India and Sri Lanka to the table. This isn’t your standard curry house—the kitchen draws on the bold, coconut-rich traditions of Keralan and Sri Lankan home cooking, where spices are toasted from scratch and heat builds with finesse rather than fury. Locals in Maidstone have cottoned on to the fact that this place does things differently, offering a genuine taste of the subcontinent’s coastal and island kitchens.

The menu is a treasure trove of regional classics: think fiery, tangy fish curries, fluffy appams (lacy rice pancakes) perfect for soaking up rich gravies, and fragrant lamb or chicken kothu roti where shredded flatbread is stir-fried with vegetables and meat. Every dish feels carefully composed, with the balance of sour, sweet, and spice that defines the best South Indian and Sri Lankan cooking. The dosas are crisp and golden, the sambar is deeply spiced, and the short eats—like mutton rolls or vegetable cutlets—make for a cracking starter. Order online for delivery or collection and treat yourself to a meal that travels well, bringing the warmth of the tropics straight to your door in Maidstone.
