Incomparable quality at the mini price. The food is like home-cooked by mothers. This means that proper traditional food must taste. Bacon

Friendly people and good food, too. Eating a good plate with delicious flesh and the kids loved the homemade lasagna! The dessert was top, too!

"Nestled on Folkestone 's seawall, The Holy Pundit surprises as an unconventional curry house. Hidden above The Mariner pub, this small, bustling venue has a laid back vibe that immediately welcomes you. The menu diverges from the norm, presenting Pundit Signature dishes alongside more traditional options. The chef 's passionate recommendations really helped us select and experience some amazing dishes. Standouts include exceptional onion bahjis that are a must order and inventive poppadoms. Although, these left us unable to unleash our tagline “Six Poppadoms Please” much to our annoyance. Mains and sides impress with faultless execution. Due to the unconventional nature of the menu customers may benefit from staff guidance, luckily the chef was more than happy to help. He gave us some fantastic advice, whilst choosing our meal. Service is characterised by a laid back yet polite demeanour, with unexpected complimentary starters enhancing the experience. The limited Indian beer selection was a minor letdown, the decor lacks traditional curry house elements and facilities would benefit from an update. Despite these minor drawbacks, The Holy Pundit earns a resounding recommendation. Its unique location, surprising ambience and exceptional service contribute to its 'hidden gem ' status. Approach with an open mind, an empty stomach and allow The Holy Pundit to deliver an unparalleled curry house experience.

"Very good choice on the menu. We've been a couple of times and enjoyed it both times. We did have a small problem when my potato wasn't very hot but it was overcome very quickly and our bill was adjusted. Would recommend this restaurant."
