We've ordered from Brinjals a number of times because they are consistently good, and they do a paneer version of most curries which my vegetarian husband loves! The food is always super tasty, good portion sizes, and although it always says it's going to take forever to get to you it inevitably arrives really early! Would definitely recommend

This place is lovely! Food is brilliant! Only had one experience of the food not being up to scratch, the food was a bit too oily! But other than that the food is brilliant!

Choose your meat (or vegetarian) and the a sauce. The list is extensive. There are also chef specials. The food was excellent, the Bhajis being light and not stodgy; rice light and fluffy and enough meat with the sauces (generous enough). On a Thursday night there was a constant flow of people , mainly of student age. At present this restaurant is byo and only takes cash. There is an off license very near. Also can get take away with 10% discount with NUS. I would say there are seats for approx 30 people. My only issue was the large screen showing film throughout the evening. I go out to talk to friends and however much you try to ignore it - it’s there. Can’t all sit with our back to it. I will go back as the food is worth it and BYO is always a bonus

So glad we found this lovely restaurant. It was a Sunday night and not many eat in places were open. Thankfully we found Brinjal's. We chose the buffet meal option and were permitted to bring our own drinks. The meal was tasty and service was good. Waitron was attentive and friendly. Restaurant was clean and toilet facilities pleasant. Lovely evening overall

I love Brinjals! The food is always so delicious, and there is inevitably a 30% discount on the offering so ends up being really reasonable as well. We've had a variety of different curries- all with some form of garlic chicken and paneer and have never been disappointed. Most recent choice was a garlic chicken pasanda and paneer jalfrezi with the obligatory sides of samosa, popadoms and garlic naan and everything was tip top!

This restaurant continues to be the best Indian in the town as far as I am concerned. Their evening buffet is excellent value, cooked to order and the individual dishes all have distinctive tastes (unlike some restaurants where all taste the same). I really don’t care what others may say about it I find it consistently good on the many times we have been there with a friendly service as well.

There were all kind of restaurants along Lewes Road. We were looking for a chinese one but finally we entered this restaurant and it seemed a good coice. The food tasted good though the vindaloo was not so spicy as we used to eat. This restaurant offers a lot of vegetarian menus and for us it's great. Good service. The only problem was looking for a parking place at this area.

Haven't used Brinjals for a while but that was one of the best takeaway curries we've had. Delivery on time in stormy weather, fresh and seriously nice. Try the Ceylon (with Paneer for non meat eaters) as it was special. They also have recently got a 5 star hygiene rating and the food is also 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

Firstly, we have ordered from Brinjals a few times but after tonight we sadly probably won’t again. After waiting an hour for food which we don’t mind doing,obviously experiencing brinjals before we were looking forward to our meal. Sadly we opened the food - my partner ordered a king prawn curry. He had 3 prawns only and lots of onions in a very watery sauce. I ordered a lamb rogan Josh, the sauce was a mix of dark brown sauce and a dark red sauce. Not the usual look and quality. The naan breads were cold! We tried calling brinjals for 20 minutes after we received the food, but no answer during that whole time. Very strange for a takeaway to not answer the phone for that long. Such a shame as we have ordered many times before but with the good quality being so bad tonight, it puts you off ordering again.

We used brinjals Brighton many many times but over the last few weeks the standard has dropped dramatically. We order a range of veggie curry’s and chicken curry’s with brown sella brown rice, they have been getting worse lately with a big puddle of water in the bowl - worse looking and tasting curry’s with the odd wrong order but tonight was the worst so far - we paid extra for 3 x brown sella rice and mushroom fried rice - we got 2 x plain boiled rice - 1 x chicken tikka fried rice and 1 x mushroom fried rice - all the curry’s —— 1 x veggie Bhuna 1 x veggie dansak 1 x chicken dansak and a butter chicken —- were not only watery but bland tasting and not particularly nice to look at - it’s a real shame but we will not be using them again !

Usually we love this place but today the food came nothing like usual -- the Sag Paneer usually has much bigger paneer and is a properly spiced curry but it came with hardly any paneer and it was basically just plain spinach with no flavour at all and a few hairs... the Ceylon curry was somehow worse, it tasted nothing like ceylon and infact had a strange sickly acrid taste to it, almost certainly something put in it had expired and it had a bad smell too... I loved this place but might have to find a new one

Got sick from eating here - fiance's chicken and poppadoms smelt like fish too. Only has a rating of 1 Hygeine Rating. The thing is, getting a 5 is easy - you just have to be clean and date things correctly. But to get a 1 is very hard - think rats, mice, mouldy food, cooked chicken next to raw, unsanitary fridges, the lot. And the reason the food tastes so good? Because it is full of sugar, and probably MSG too. They most likely get all of their sauces out of buckets from whole salers - which is also why they can offer food so cheap. Vegans, don't risk it, you're probably at a high risk of contamination, especially if poppadoms taste fishy!

Driver arrived and looked puzzled, called the takeaway and they didn't care and said sort it on just eat app. Disgusting service, unfortunate for the delivery guy who I'm not sure if it was his fault of not.

My partner and I was blown away with the abundance of quality food we recived for such a small price . There homemade sauces were second to none and like nothing we had tasted at any other Indian restaurant in Brighton. I had a chicken dish and my partner a lamb dish and the texture of the meat just melted in your mouth with the full flavour of the sauce .. I could go on and on,but feel you need to visit to experience the delights and the warm welcome and out standing service

We used to order loads from Brinjals. In fact I almost did again this evening because it’s been 6 months since my bad experience and I thought it might have changed. I came here to read the reviews beforehand and saw that many have echoed my own experience. Appalling customer service after our order was delivered very late and incorrect. I was told a refund for the incorrect dish wasn’t possible. As simple as that. Just “no can do” even though the order was an hour late, untouched and not what we wanted. I couldn’t be bothered taking it further at the time but I haven’t ordered since and won’t again, at least until I see these reviews improve.

The food here is generally good but certainly not out of this world. We’ve been coming here for takeaway for about 4 years now because it’s only a mile away from our home which means I can collect within 30 minutes rather than waiting up to 2 hours for it to be delivered. Sadly we won’t be coming here anymore. Last week we received our order and on getting it home discovered that part of it was missing. We contacted the restaurant and was told that they could send the missing item out to us but as we were about to eat we feared that it would arrive too late, so decided to have a refund. They were ok with this but said it could take up to 5 days to go into our account. 6 days later we checked our account and guess what?.......no refund!! Contacted the restaurant and spoke to someone who couldn’t have been less interested. He said that he didn’t know anything about the issue so couldn’t help us and put the phone down. Lovely way to treat your regular customers!!! Contacted Just Eat who we booked through and they were just as useless, so no help there. So now we are out of pocket because we trusted this restaurant not to steal from us!!! So for the sake of a fiver they have now lost a customer who would definitely have spent a few hundred quid a year here. So how stupid are the people that work here? There are dozens of curry houses here in Brighton so I shall look forward to trying somewhere new. We will never come here again and I suggest you don’t either........unless you don’t mind being robbed!!!!!

Food is hit or miss, most of the time it arrives cold and considering we live pretty much on the same road it is unacceptable. Several times we have had items missing from our order. Have had chavs delivering food playing loud music from they’re car and being loud and disrespectful. Ordered online and was telephoned back to be told there was no delivery driver and to contact the bank to get money back. Time waiting for them to confirm order is ridiculous have also had them send confirmation of order received for nothing to arrive and no one to answer the telephone. Tonight will be the last time we order from brinjals... food has nice flavours and when is hot can be very nice and price is more than reasonable. Such a shame. Another customer lost

I've ordered the garlic chilli massala last night, I've had it lots of times before and it is usually great. Tonight's took 1.5 hrs, was cold and when I opened it, they'd just take a standard (sweet) tikka massala sauce and added chunks of chilli and garlic... maybe they're too busy to cook the curry you've ordered these days, I won't order from here again.

Really disappointed in their service this time round as has been a long time coming. I’ve eaten from here for over 5 years and this is the 3rd complaint I have had this year. Rice was missing from my order (already waited an hour) called and they said would send out in 15, waited a further hour and called again to find out that it hadn’t even been made / sent out. Two weeks prior wrong dish was received per what I thought I had ordered from online menu and time before that my friends whole meal forgotten in the end as waited so long just all pitched in a bit of our food. Such a shame as the food is delicious however just seems a regular occurrence now that orders are not received what we had ordered. Asked if I could receive a discount on next order, been told I’ll get a call back as the manager isn’t around - we’ll see. My partner ate his dinner an hour and a half ago and I’m sitting near at 2230 at night having not eaten mine. Not happy!

Don't under estimate this place. We've ordered takeaway twice and it's simply the best Indian I've ever had! We tried different curries and they do not disappoint at all! Flavourful, distinctive different flavours for different curries. Go for the fish, don't be shy, it's gorgeous. Generous portions with affordable prices. Definitely caters for authenticity. I hate Indians where the different curries are really not different at all. They just put slightly different meats and veg, sweeter or spicier but the sauce base always taste the same. Also usually too sweet as well. We've bookmarked this place to return to again and again! Super chef!

I have never received such terrible service from a take away in my life. They outright LIED to me and have essentially STOLEN my money. They agreed to refund me and then changed their mind without even notifying me. This was meant to be a semi romantic meal with my partner on our one evening off together this week. Firstly, the order arrived and I just had a simple issue with the curry I ordered. The king prawns in the curry still had their shells on. I have never before seen this and was not happy at the idea that I'm expecting to dig around in the curry with my hands to remove the shells myself. I found this very strange and they insisted that it was normal, though I haven't managed to find a single other person that agrees that it is normal to leave the shells on when it's in a curry. Had there been a note on the menu for this strange presentation it would have been fine, but there was nothing to warn me. I asked if they could resend the curry with the shells removed. They agreed and promised it in half an hour. I was perfectly happy to accept this solution.. one hour later, a delivery driver turns up at the door and asks me to give them back the original curry. This seems fair, so I return it, but they don't have the replacement curry. This is already twice as long as they promised to get the replacement to me. So I call them again. I'm told that they still haven't even sent it out because they're still waiting for the driver to get back to the restaurant. I'm understandably tell them that I'm not happy with this at all and that it's taking much longer than promised. My partner has already eaten now and the rest of my food, which is a bit pointless without the main curry to go with it, is cold. Our nice evening together has essentially become ruined now because of this situation. I'm hungry and becoming stressed and frustrated at the restaurant. I tell them that I want a refund. They tell me that I have to call Just Eat to receive a refund. I call Just Eat and they tell me that the restaurant are the ones that have to refund me because I paid in cash. I called the restaurant and Just Eat about 4-5 times each over a 3 hour period in the end, getting told each time that I have to talk to the other party to sort this issue out. Eventually I get Just Eat to call the restaurant whilst I remain on hold. They manage to get through to the restaurant and then tell me that the restaurant has finally agreed to give me a full refund and that I have to call them one last time to arrange it. Sceptical of this, I go over this solution clearly with them twice to make sure that that's exactly what was agreed and that it was definitely going to happen. I am assured that I am definitely getting a refund. I would have been happy enough with this solution had the restaurant kept to their agreement. I called the restaurant and they said with no argument that they would indeed be sending someone to drop my £27 cash back to me.. a full hour passes and I start to wonder.. So I call the restaurant again just to check where the driver is and that they hadn't simply forgotten. The restaurant manager then tells me that they are in fact going back on what they had agreed with myself and Just Eat and that they are not going to refund me at all. I don't know what on earth they are thinking by doing this. I'm fairly certain it's bordering on illegal now to withhold someone's money when it's agreed to be refunded, especially when they have even taken some of the food back with no restitution. I ended up calling Just Eat again and they're opening an investigation of which I have to wait 72 hours to hear back from. I hope whoever is in charge of this restaurant gets what they deserve for treating a customer like this. I kept civil and reasonable throughout all these phone calls. I cannot say the same for the restaurant staff. They were very rude and hung up on me on more than one call. I'm sure not everyone's experience will be this bad, but if they treated me this way, then it could happen to you too. Avoid this restaurant.

The food tasted good though the vindaloo was not so spicy as we used to eat. This restaurant offers a lot of vegetarian menus and for us it's great. Good service. The only problem was looking for a parking place at this area.

Pedimos pollo tikka mossala y pollo malai. Ambos completamente insípidos, sin especias ni sabor en absoluto. También ambos eran idénticamente malos. ¡La única diferencia era que uno tenía colorante alimenticio rosado brillante y el otro amarillo! ! También ordenó sag paneer. . . . Igualmente soso más los pedazos de paneer eran microscópicos. Comimos un par de bocados y luego dimos el resto a las gaviotas (¡tampoco estaban demasiado impresionados!) Si esto hubiera estado en el restaurante, habríamos salido sin pagar.En su lugar, compramos curry de comida preparada Sainsburys. . . . . . . MUCHO MEJOR.Es una mejilla absoluta lo que están haciendo.

Parkeren is wel een dingetje in deze regio, met een beetje kan je in een van de zijstraten je auto kwijt. Er zijn genoeg opties voor vegetariërs. De menu kaart is heel modulair opgezet. We hadden een vindaloo, birigami met witte rijst vegetariers. De porties waren voldoende en het was goed op smaak. Ik had de vindaloo wel wat pittiger verwacht, maar misschien ook maar beter. We hadden lekker gegeten.

Where do I start... Oh my god these guys are sooo annoying. Me and my friends ordered the buffet meals cos we were really hungry and the food was already subpar to say it lightly. Then I found hair in my food. After raising it with the waiter, the waiter went and brought me a new plate which was still as cold and dry as the last. When I asked what was going to happen about the hair in my food I was then informed that they would take no further action and that the chef would still not wear a hair net. I asked for a full refund which was not provided to me. I then found out from my friend who is Bengali that the chef (who was also the owner) had told them not to serve me and my other friends anymore. So not only had I been served hair in my food but THEY STOPPED MY ALL YOU CAN EAT AFTER ONE PLATE!!!! So not only did they not give me a full refund but I paid for a buffet but only got 1 meal. Planning to raise this with the food standards agency but I suggest that no one goes here. You never know what other poison they’ll add to your food. P.S. their water tastes like garbage.

Arrived late , to then find the vegetable curry I had ordered was actually chicken. Which is terrible considering I'm a vegetarian and have just had to bite into chicken after 10 years of not eating meat. The food was also cold due to it being late. I have now spent time re heating all the food and waiting even longer for a replacement. Which they didn't offer to refund for. They also sent me the wrong dessert. No discount , refund or voucher for next time offered, so I'm afraid there will be no next time. Avoid at all costs unless you want to make life harder and get yourself a takeaway from here. 👎

¡Amo a Brinjals! La comida siempre es deliciosa, e inevitablemente hay un descuento del 30% en la oferta, por lo que termina siendo muy razonable también. Hemos tenido una variedad de curries diferentes, todos con algún tipo de pollo al ajillo y paneer y nunca nos ha decepcionado. La elección más reciente fue un pollo al ajo pasanda y paneer jalfrezi con los lados obligatorios de samosa, popadoms y ajo naan, ¡y todo fue excelente!

So glad we found this lovely restaurant. It was a Sunday night and not many eat in places were open. Thankfully we found Brinjal's. We chose the buffet meal option and were permitted to bring our own drinks. The meal was tasty and service was good. Waitron was attentive and friendly. Restaurant was clean and toilet facilities pleasant. Lovely evening overall

They don't take cards and you have to bring your own Cobras. Trust Gavin to find a place like that. He always does. I always thought places like this make most of their money out of alcohol sales. Whatever. They appear to be paying rent and electricity. Curry was 1 notch above microwave supermarket. A good slap dash place like this is 2. I cook 3 at home with fresh ingredients and a book. Go get 'em tigers you'll be acing TripAdvisor soon. The view outside the restaurant is divine and makes the most of a derilict plot of land on the other side of the road dressed in plywood shuttering and covered in graffiti. If you need to make your food taste better add lots of salt and oil. Everyone likes that. At least until they get home.

Ordered takeaway twice. Food isn’t too bad, a very good selection of specials dishes. The second time the food arrived an hour later than expected and then had to be put in the microwave as was cold!

Great staff with profound knowledge of their curries and wow they taste amazing. The takeaways seem to be busy due to high demand (only shows how delicious the food is) but is always worth the wait. I had a Lamb Bhuna recommended by staff, no words to describe it but perfect. Thanks brinjals team.

Would not come into my block even though I said I was on the ground floor. The paper bag was in pieces as dishes overfull. Not happy with meal, some was ok, most not. If you have mobility problems don't expect any help.

I placed an order online and waited two hours. We then called about 5 times and were told repeatedly that it was 10 minutes away. The last time I called, they hung up on me. Now we have waited three hours, Brinjals have marked our order as delivered, and they won’t pick up the phone. Obviously they still have our money. Avoid

I gave this place 5 when we had a takeaway in November, but last Friday was terrible. Phoned, ordered a takeaway, said it would be an hour to deliver (usual phrase but it has arrived in 30 minutes), phoned after 90 minutes and we were told driver was 2 minutes away, some 2 hours after we ordered the food arrived - it was luke warm at best, most was cold - don't where the driver had been. I did telephone and complain as we had spent nearly £40 on this - wasn't given any sympathy by the restaurant, nor any apology - this place is off my list now

I don’t know where to start. This restaurant should get an award for having the worst customer service. I asked the guy about the buffet and I swear I felt like he was gonna slap me or something. Why would you advertise something you don’t wanna do? I sat there thinking I’m having a buffet for £11.50 and I got a £40 bill even though I told them I’m having buffet. Instead of apologising and being polite about their misleading advert, they grouped together and argue with me like some sort of gangsters or something. I felt threatened at that point and I paid my bill. I’ve also waited literally 2 hours for my main. And I got the wrong order after all. The table was dirty, and I had to call someone to clean it. The starter is served in a hot plate, no warning whatsoever, it was chucked in front of me like some prisoner. The whole thing seemed like a prank to me. Unfortunately it wasn’t. Long story short. Don’t go there

Went last week to celebrate my girlfriends birthday to this restaurant. As soon as I walked in I saw their dirty looks as I have done something to them. They say it is buffet but it’s actually not a buffet. You want to order something they will tell you that it is not included in the buffet. At the end there will be just a few choices to choose from. Waiting time about two hours. Custumer service, very very rude people and angry faces. It is my first and my last to go and eat. Food comes but completely burned, cold, and raw meat served. After all this me and my girlfriend got food poisoning. Diarrhoea for a couple days.

NEEDS improvement... Arrived Hot and had good flavours. However it took a long time to arrive which isn't the end of the world. The tikka masala and the butter chicken was strange, as the chicken pieces were huge rather than diced and a little dry making it less satisfying to eat. The onion bhajees were not the best I have had.

I came here on a Groupon by myself. The family were initially very welcoming and the place has a pleasant ambience with an orange glow and old Bollywood music playing. Then the manageress came over....I gather this woman is quite legendary for her charm (!) - she told me that the Groupon was only for two people but as I had been seated I could go ahead and eat. The food was fine, dishes well done and filling. Perfect for a chilly evening. However, the manageress couldn't help herself from telling me over and over what a favour she was doing me by letting me use the Groupon by myself. So if you don't mind the fierce service you will have a decent meal. If you're coming with a Groupon, be sure to bring a friend!

I have agree with previous reviews we moved into area and tried it. The batter fell off our plaice. Good prices but questionable freshness. Our plaice had started to smell a little funky at one end. So we didn’t notice until we got to that end. The chips were proper. The battered sausage looked so cheap quality. I’m not sure I’d go back there again. But it’s so local. Service was indeed friendly and quick.
