A beloved part of the local Gillingham community, Alisha is the go-to restaurant for quality Indian cuisine and has gained a loyal following of curry aficionados. The proud independent restaurant has gone from strength to strength since it opened, setting itself apart from other restaurants with their superb hospitality and selection of regional specialities.
While the restaurant may look rather unassuming from the outside, diners looking for an authentic experience shouldn’t pass it by. The charming restaurant offers all the comforts of a typical Indian restaurant with a fine dining flourish that makes it suitable for birthdays and special occasions. Alisha is certainly not one of the bigger restaurants, but they more than make up for it with their warm and friendly service.
At the restaurant’s heart is their traditional tandoori clay oven which imparts a unique charcoal flavour into dishes like their succulent tandoori chicken, lamb tikka and seekh kebabs. For anyone looking for something they won’t find elsewhere, diners should consider their punchy chicken adrak, featuring a spiced ginger-based sauce or their Bangladeshi-style fish bhuna.
Whether it’s a chance to take a break from cooking or a get-together with friends, a meal at Alisha is sure to be the first of many. Gourmet Society members will find the best experience when they find exclusive savings on their bills for calling to book ahead and presenting their cards upon arrival. It’s a wonderful excuse for extra pilau rice, a starter or one of their mixed grills.
