Welcome to Sekkoya! We are a casual Indian restaurant and bar located at The Riverside in Canterbury serving dishes that tell a story of our heritage, cities and family.

From street dishes like Keema Pau and Samosa Chaat found all over Indian cities to curries made from recipes that have been in our family for generations which we have enjoyed around our Mums dinner table growing up like her amazing Butter Chicken and Dum Biryani.

John, our in-house bar guru, has created a cocktail menu that takes you back to the hotel bars of colonial India, perfectly complimenting our food.

For bookings of groups larger than 8, please call the restaurant on 01227 286221 to make your booking.

    The venue has a lively atmosphere with friendly staff. Cocktails were lovely and fairly priced. The food was exceptional and tasty. We love the small plate sharing concept. Our overall experience was very good and we shall return when visiting Canterbury again.

    Absolutely brilliant, could be slightly better on bottomless drinks (just give us a bottle or serve double drinks) but service was so quick and the food was unbelievable. Will be back for dinner for sure.

    I’d like to say, we’ve been here twice before and not had any issues. I’m unsure if they’ve done a set menu like this before but it wasn’t as organised as usual. We received our amuse bouche about 10 minutes before the table next to us who had been there far longer than we had. We never received the lychee sorbet palate cleanser, I assumed they’d run out earlier on in the day until I saw other tables receiving and eating theirs. Our desserts came out whilst we were still eating our mains so the table was cluttered whilst eating both courses. The staff are very friendly and we enjoyed the food, I always enjoy the cocktails here especially.

    2nd visit to Sekkoya. The food was faultless, absolutely delicious. Service was great too. Waitress lovely, friendly and efficient. Toilets spotless. Attended to and food served quickly. We even had dessert! And my chocolate brownie was something I never wanted to end!! My lamb curry was so scrummy, I wanted to lick the bowl! The seats were comfortable and the decor is tasteful. Well lit but not over bright. Just a fantastic experience. Long live Sekkoya!! 5⭐️

    Food was good so was the staff very helpful. But I lost my jacket cuz someone stole it from the coat rack which was in the restaurant and I had to walk home wet in the rain.
