Arasi Restaurant in Crawley

It’s great to have a local place that serves delicious Sri Lankan Kottu. Reasonably priced and the mutton rolls are spicy so watch out!

Chilli paneer amazing Mutton curry amazing (spice it up like I did) Extremely good value for money. Even the wine wasn’t over priced. Will definitely go back!

Portions and very small. Not good value for money at all. Their taste is good but I hate the small portions. I spoke to them about it when they opened but they didn’t take any notice and I see that they don’t have many customers and they barely have been open for a year.

The food was really tasty, and the staff was very polite. You can ask for the level of spice you need, which is also very helpful! I would be definitely coming back!

This place is great place to dine in , and also food was excellent and delicious .it has friendly helpful staff .I recommend this place to everyone.

Very authentic food. We had the Sri Lankan mutton rolls and fish cutlets for starters. Masala and Mysore Dosas with savoury chutney, lentil gravy and coconut relish. I had a sweet lassi.

Went with friend for lunch and ordered the Veg Thali. I must say that I was very disappointed as the quantity in the veg dishes were so small that even a bird would have left hungry and the veg dishes were very spicy hot even though it was mentioned to the waitress that we did not eat very spicy food .... the papadom was not crispy. Nice decor and waitress was very polite and pleasant.

Food was OK, lacks the basics like simple Bombay potato. Service was extremely poor, dishes did not come out despite being repeatedly asked, then as everyone had almost finished, the other dishes started to arrive. It's not cheap, so would expect a good level of professional conduct.

New restaurant. Good ambience, very good food, excellent staff and service. Limited menu and portions too small (I had a wonderful Jaffna Mutton Curry (£11) that had about 6 small cubes of mutton). Increase the portion size and I'd increase the star rating. Nice Naan.

The food was very tasty with the perfect amount of spices! The ambience was also very nice with relaxing music. We used one and half hour free ASDA car park next door which is very convenient!

We placed our orders as per the menu layout i.e. two starters, followed by two mains plus sides. The starters were served and immediately followed by the main courses. As the temperature of the starters was, rightly very high, we asked for the mains to be taken away and kept hot. My fish cutlets were not cutlets, as cutlets in any language have a bone. These consisted of a deep fried balls containing a spicy fish mixture. Though very tasty, we were surprised by the accompanying dipping sauce, which turned out to be plain tomato ketchup. Not sure if that is a South Indian or Sri Lanka speciality! When finished, plates were cleared and the mains and sides came back. Considering we asked for them to be kept hot and that we were the only customers there, it was all too cold. No excuse for that. Not withstanding that, our Jaffna Mutton and Pepper Chicken curries were both excellent, even when cold.

This is a second time I come to this restaurant for takeout after a month. I got the order for 3x dosas and 1 kotti rotti and again I got 1 dal 2x chutneys-and one tiny tab of souse personally I think this is too little. They give me just tabs not even full. I mentioned it to the restaurant on my first visit and they promised that they will look into this issue on how much they give out to the customers. They haven’t improve at all!!the person behind the counter said that they have given 3 not 3 dals !! I like to have a good amount to fully enjoy my food. The quality of the dosa and dal not good at all, my family didn’t like it at all, considering that this is our favourite food at any given time.😕 I don’t trust this restaurant anymore and would not go there at all which is a shame because I thought the need for good South Indian restaurant is very great. I will go to the old takeaway shop.
