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 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.

    Good quality food but the service could have been better, don’t really get this idea of all dishes will come when they’re ready (in whatever order) which resulted in us feeling rushed out in around an hour, and basics like actually poring water into glasses rather than plonking bottles on the table took the edge of good food in a nice environment

    Finally a decent Indian restaurant in Canterbury, we had tried all the others in town and had given up. So pleased we can finally enjoy our favourite cuisine not made up of quick food sauces..

    Good food lovely restaurant but limited choice of dishes and very rushed service. We were asked if we wanted dessert even before we had all finished our main course. And then asked if we wanted the bill because we looked bored while one of our party was using the ladies toilet.!!!! Wouldn’t rush back because of the service quality.
