Our-top rated curry house

The Mahdi Lounge in Rye is our top-rated curry house. We visited in February 2026 (for Ian’s birthday), and it scored an impressive 89 out of 100.

It has remained in first place since then with the closest runner-up being from New Spice, Robertsbridge that scored 82 in June 2026.
