‘Qissa’ tells the extraordinary stories behind the foods we eat: the finest Indian cuisine, served with careful attention to every detail of food, service and ambience.
Qissa is a place of gathering, of celebrations, of business, and of pleasure. Let the story begin… — The Qissa Promise

Love the food from here both dine in or take out. This is without doubt the best Indian food I have had….and I have tried a few. These are homemade dishes that you can taste the spices and the meat is top quality. Consistently the best and not your run of the mill curry house. Paul & Loraine Eynsford.Paul Davis · Google Review

We had a lovely time here, very tasty food and friendly service, They were able to accommodate us earlier than expected. One dish was bit spicier than expected, so we would probably check with them about this next time.James Skinner · Google Review
Best Indian restaurant in Sevenoaks and surrounding area. In fact it's among the best of the many I have experienced. It is consistently excellent, generous and welcoming. Granted different people have different tastes, but I strongly recommend you visit Qissa. It's run by a lady, which probably explains why it's so good.Jim Driver · Google Review
I have used Qissa for many, many years and every meal I have had from them has been 5* From the service, the flavours and the portions you simply cant get better than Qissa. Always exceptional, my number one restaurant 😋Nicki Tidy · Google Review
An excellent meal which was part of my campaign to widen my 15 year old grandson’s taste for good food and wean him away from Nando’s. It is working! Thanks!Patrick Reynolds · Google Review
6 of us came here last night, on a last minute booking, the food was great, I had the lamb shank, it was delicious, service was fast & staff was accommodating & friendly. We all agreed we would return to this restaurant again.Pete · Google Review
Undoubtedly the very best Indian meal I’ve ever had. Every dish was so delicious, beautifully presented and just tasted amazing. As a party of 3 we all agreed on how good this was. If you’re a Vegetarian also plenty of choice and the Tofu(yes the tofu) was unbelievable good! The restuarant is a great setting and the Staff efficient and friendly. I’m so glad I’ve found it and will be back as soon as possible.Joolee Bee · Google Review
