Medway Curry and Balti Raj

Medway Curry and Balti Raj is an Indian takeaway sitting among the cluster of fast-food outlets close to Chatham railway station, on the edge of the town centre. Its name points to the kitchen's signature: the balti, a curry finished in a small steel karahi over a fierce heat so the spices intensify and the sauce reduces and clings to the meat — a style that gives the place a clear identity among its neighbours.

Beyond the balti section, the menu runs through the full range of British-Indian favourites, from tandoori grills and biryanis to kormas, madras and vindaloo, with breads, rice dishes and side vegetables to round out an order. Set meals make it straightforward to feed a group, and the position near the station and town centre makes it a convenient pick-up for commuters heading home as well as for nearby residents.
