Mayflower Indian - BENFLEET

It may not be much to look at from the outside, but is well worth a visit inside... Went for Father’s Day lunch, the service was prompt but certainly not rushed and the waiter took the time to explain his view on the items on the menu. Food was excellent and great value on the buffet offer poppadoms, mixed starter any item from main dishes (except king prawns) with sag aloo and rice. Before the tip, it came to under £50 for three of us including drinks!

We were the only table in the restaurant and yet the service was slow and one of the meals came out five minutes after everyone else’s. The food was ok but there are much nicer Indian restaurants locally.

No longer the mayflower Indian restaurant, its under new management as a Bangladesh restaurant, wild ducks. Second night so a lot of learning on the job...... Food ok, tasty , with different foid offerings but rookie errors ie. Music to loud, Food not served at once, cold plates , lights very bright so lacking ambiance. However, staff welcomed feedback so hopefully improvements will take place . Pricing very reasonable in these inflationary times, sizzling wild duck and chicken Kathmandu particularly tasty. Will be back.

Have seen a couple of poor reviews in February this year complaining about a grumpy waiter. I must say my wife and I had dinner last night and both the service and food was excellent. No complaints. We have been to this restaurant on many occasions over the last few years and have always had very good service from the staff. Den Maureen

Sorry mayflower but your customer service is terrible . Your food is nice and flavoursome. Waiter is rude and not welcoming. Overall not a nice experience. Probably will think twice before returning
