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.

    Been wanting to try Sekkoya for a while as photo’s looked amazing. Must say was absolutely blown away, the interior, vibe, music was amazing so much attention to detail and creative interiors make it a fun place to be. Drink menus were imaginative and fun and both our cocktail and mocktails were 10/10. Service was very slick and fast with drinks coming out super efficiently and food shortly after the food was brilliant, delicious, filling and also really reasonable for the quality that you get. Was a busy Friday for Christmas lead up and had a live ask which added to the atmosphere. Manager was onsite and checking on tables and friendly. Honestly had a brilliant evening and can’t rate it highly enough. Will be recommending to all our friends. Thanks for all your hard work, the effort really showed and we had a great time. Feel like a similar experience in London would be twice the price. So they definitely tick the affordable mark for such a great product too. Keep up the great work 🫶🏻

    The food was exceptionally good! Also, very rare for Canterbury, but the interior was really good too! Loved every bit of it. We were greeted by Kim. She was wonderful. Got our orders in no time and their bar has some great options too! Loved the Mumbai mashup cocktail, would definitely recommend!

    Was all for good but gave a 4 star not 5 as lost one due to mentioning it was my Mrs birthday and nothing special like singing was done. When booking the reservation it states is there a special occasion which I stated and added I would like them to sing happy birthday yet I was disappointed this didn't happen and still having to pay the extra service charge on top of the bill. You suck

    Amazing atmosphere and delicious food with a perfect portion size. There was a live violinist and it was busy so the atmosphere was wonderful and the lady was stunning. Thank you to Justin for serving us.
