"I was warmly welcomed by the lovely Grace, who engaged me in delightful conversation about good food and global cuisines while serving a piping hot burger that stayed perfectly warm. The patties had that ideal crispy edge while maintaining a juicy flavor, layered with bacon, gooey golden cheese, red onion jam, and garlic aioli. The bun held everything together flawlessly, minimizing any slippage to ensure each bite was a glorious experience, complete with ample sauce for a wonderfully indulgent treat. The Cajun fries were crunchy, hot, and seasoned to perfection, and the black garlic mayo was absolutely a standout—be sure to try some of their sauces too! It was heartwarming to hear owner Steve and Grace discuss their shifts; it’s clear that Steve genuinely cares about his team, which reflects in their passion for creating excellent, indulgent food. I can’t wait to explore more of the menu and share this gem with other food lovers who appreciate a true winner. Thank you for turning my Monday around—now I can’t help but want to come back any day of the week!"

"For avoidance of doubt this isn’t a restaurant, it’s a stall with a couple of benches. Stopped for a seafood snack about midday after visiting the Turner. Disappointed that no oysters, even though the boards advertising “oysters and bubbles” were still prominently displayed. Settled for a tub of cockles instead, and they tasted great, but really not a substitute for oysters. Slightly off putting remarks from one of the three rather underemployed women in the stall she didn’t offer a card machine but waited while I found some cash, then commented “yes, people are using cash more now COVID has gone” (it hasn’t, of course, but her attitude didn’t seem out of kilter with how we had observed locals behaving)."

"Having visited Secret Spices on a few occasions now, I find myself finding an excuse to travel all the way from Dover, to Margate just to indulge in their delicious, great value food! Upon each visit, the restaurant has not been particularly busy perhaps this is helped by me visiting during the week, rather than on the busier days such as Fridays and Saturdays. The food however has always been absolutely top notch. I've had Indian cuisine from restaurants and takeaways from around the world and I truly believe that the quality and flavour produced at this outlet really does surpass many others that I have tried, certainly, the best I have had here in the UK. The restaurant setting is classy and easy on the eye, the seating a little worn, but very comfortable, the service very attentive, the food DELICIOUS. I always look forward to making another visit to Secret Spices, thank you for your great Restaurant! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"We’re afternoon drinking people. However! We popped in for a pint on a Friday evening and ended up staying for the whole night there was live music from a group of 3 guitarists who were absolutely fabulous and got everyone joining in, but not so loud that you couldn’t still have a chat. Went back on a Saturday afternoon and ended up talking to a lovely local couple. Just really easy going, friendly, comfortable, cozy and doesn’t feel like one of those ‘big chain’ pubs!"

"My friend and I have both been coming to this fabulously located restaurant for nearly 10 years and it has never failed. Particularly on our visit last Sunday (09/07) where everything we ate was perfection. Haven’t had such good courgette flowers outside Italy, the Shrimp Bread perfectly seasoned. Tuna Tartare so perfectly balanced with its accompanying Japanese seasoning and the Bream deliciously char grilled with another perfect accompaniment. The squid ink paella was probably the best of anything that I’ve ever eaten with Squid Ink in (and that includes dishes at the River Cafe) and a piece of perfection with clam and mussel in it as well. And a huge thank you to Mr Wyatt/Jones for squeezing us in and keeping us informed. The service was slick and spot on and our many plates perfectly timed so we never felt hurried. Very much appreciated and we hope to return soon."
