Delicious food, great atmosphere. We tried this restaurant for the first time, after using the Burslem restaurant in the past, and I can honestly say it is just has good.. dare I say probably better. The food came out on time and everyone ate a the same time (14 people). The staff were attentive, professional and friendly and they didn't hover around you like some other restaurants do. Would definitely recommend visiting the Kismet in Hartshill, 5 Stars from me and my guests.

Our first time dining this evening at Kismet in Hartshill, I must say we were slightly apprehensive after reading some mixed reviews but I'm very happy with the outcome. The service was marvellous, the food was wonderful, the atmosphere was was very inviting, and price was reasonable. I have no argument in paying good money for good food so I have no quibble on this subject. We had a selection of foods and all was cooked brilliantly. Prices were very reasonable to for alcoholic drinks too. I will definitely return.

First visit today, birthday meal. Excellent food, service was friendly and professional, really nice ambience. Not local but will definitely visit again. Would definitely recommend

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited. The traditional Indian table dancing was fun and added a little low risk danger. The interesting mix of exquisite Indian cuisine and Stoke elegance. We had the Thali which was a load of tasty dishes made specially for a couple of tasty dishes was absolutely mesmerising stunning and as my husband said it blew him out of his boots. We had one of the incredible cocktails that they offer. Mine was bananas and custard and my husband had water and sprite cocktail, both made us smashed but in a good way. Definitely come to this place on your own or with friends or even people you tolerate a bit. Perfect for an overnight stay or passing through or just if you live next door. Visit! Don’t hesitate!

Lovely food and great service. Having had an average experience a year or so ago, I must say how much things have improved and how nice everyone is. We will be back soon.

Usually go straight for the tikka massala but Tried a South Indian chicken dish. Lots of flavors very tasty but mind the chillis if you don't like it too hot. Partner had north Indian garlic Naga. Was hot but it soon disappeared. Very excellent service

It was my mums 70th birthday and we picked this place on the off chance as she fancied a curry. It was amazing. The service was amazing and thw atmosphere was homely and friendly, all the employees were chatty and couldn't do enough for us. If you fancy meat and not alot of sauce try the "king of the grill" it was huge but delicious, we will definatly be going again. Oh and the host presented my mum with a shot for her birthday, she was loving it. Thankyou for a lovely night

We go to Kismet quite often, and it’s one of our favorite Indian restaurants in Stoke-on-Trent. The food is always delicious we usually order a chicken korma and a chicken bhuna. The korma is perfectly seasoned with amazing flavors, and the bhuna is just as good. The portion sizes are spot on, with plenty of chicken and rich, tasty sauce. We recently ordered a chicken korma, a chicken bhuna, 2 poppadoms, and 2 naan breads for around 35, which we think is great value. The poppadoms are freshly made to order and taste fantastic. The naan breads are nice, but a little on the small side for the price. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, though we do sometimes feel a bit rushed — they tend to approach us as soon as we sit down and check in quite frequently, which can feel a little much. We also order from Kismet through Just Eat regularly, and the food is still just as good when delivered. Overall, we highly recommend Kismet definitely one of the best Indian spots in Stoke-on-Trent.
