The Long Hop

Tucked away in Sittingbourne, The Long Hop has quietly earned a reputation that makes locals keep coming back. This Indian takeaway brings a fresh perspective to familiar flavours, with a kitchen that clearly takes pride in what it does. Holding a perfect Food Hygiene Rating, it's the kind of place where you can order with absolute confidence, knowing every dish has been handled with care. The team here understands that great Indian food isn't just about spice—it's about balance, depth, and that unmistakable aroma that fills your kitchen the moment the bag comes through the door.

Their menu covers all the classics you'd hope for, but they do them with a noticeable attention to detail. Think tender, slow-cooked lamb in rich, aromatic sauces, and chicken tikka that's actually charred and smoky rather than bland. The bhuna, in particular, has a wonderfully thick, dark gravy that clings to every piece of meat. Whether you're after a comforting korma or something with a proper kick, The Long Hop delivers without fuss. They serve across Sittingbourne, making it an easy choice for a midweek treat or a weekend feast when you just can't face the stove.
