Having been here before I booked for a group of WI girls. Unfortunately a few went down with a bug before the event so only seven ended up going. I felt awful but the waiter was absolutely fabulous. We then proceeded to have one of the best Indians I've had in a long time. The food was totally amazing. Service was exceptional and they couldn't have been nicer all be it only half of us turned up. So thankyou Cardomom Bay we will definitely return in greater numbers next time.

What a lovely Restaurant, spotlessy clean, polite and friendly staff with great service. The food was amazing, freshly prepared and cooked and brought straight to our table piping hot. We had poppodoms and chutneys, a tandoori mixed grill, lamb madras, chicken korma and coconot rice to share. This was excellent quality , we thoroughly enjoyed it, and great value for money. We will definitely visit again when we are at Butlins Bognor and bring our own wine and beer, with no corkage charge, what a result !

This was our first visit, despite being near to Bognor Regis for two years. We knew it was an alcohol free restaurant which suits us perfectly! We took our own beer and wine. Many restaurants charge a lot for drinks so this works out well for us. They had alcohol free wine and many other alcohol free drinks. The food is outstanding. Absolutely gorgeous and we took home what we couldn't eat. Great staff, very attentive. Would highly recommend and would definitely go again.

Outstanding service. Friendly, helpful and nothing too much trouble. Food was beautifully presented, plentiful and delicious. Gutted we had to leave food (if local, would have taken home and had plenty for second evening) Highly recommended. Would definitely return. Thank you

By far the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in a very long time. Friendly welcome, not rushed, beautiful interior, spacious, food is presented like it is Michelin starred, we got complimentary starters and dessert for my niece. My korma was the best I have ever had and I am so pleased to find out that that they deliver to Littlehampton 😁

This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We didn’t realise it is an alcohol free restaurant, which is fine as we aren’t big drinkers but they didn’t have any of the non-alcoholic rose advertised on the menu which was a shame. However the food was fantastic. It arrived fast, was really hot and tasted brilliant! The portion sizes were really good and all the dishes were presented really nicely! We were brought complimentary samosas and also offered complimentary coffees after. I’d also like to mention how good the service was. The guy who served us (it said Khalid at the top of the receipt so hopefully it was him) was fantastic! He was a brilliant waiter and his manners were first class! I even heard another diner pull him to the side and compliment him on how good his service was! Great all round! We’ll be back!

Visited yesterday.. This used to be probably the best curry in Bognor, however when ordering we were told that they no longer serve alcoholic drinks. Almost wanted to leave as it was a Xmas do but decided to stay for the food.. However the meat was fast cooked and chewy, no taste and frankly a waste of £180 .. Their sister restaurant Anokha serves better food but is a long way out of town. We won’t be back as there are other places that are better and cheaper.. consider this average at best.

I wanted to take the family out for a surprise Indian, so which I do every time before booking a meal I check trip advisor reviews… Oh my what can I say the food was out of this world, the chicken tikka melted in your mouth, the curries were by far one of the best Indians I have eaten in, and I spend a small fortune on eating out, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. The staff are very welcoming kind and on the ball, I cannot stress it anymore if you come to Bognor, and want an Indian then you’d be a fool not to visit!! Thanks very much for a wonderful meal And we’ll see you again

We have eaten here a few times over the years. The food has been consistently of an excellent standard. However we recently visited again and we were taken aback when we were given the restaurant menu. A chicken rogan, my go to curry, was priced at £11.95, a price we have never paid for this classic curry. I was being treated by my family as it was my birthday so I felt I couldn't say anything. Every course cost much more than we have ever paid for an Indian meal and were considerably more than stated on their online menu. The following day when I read the online Restaurant menu it had the prices we had been expecting to pay....chicken rogan was £7.95. The online Takeaway menu was also online with the slightly cheaper prices as would be expected. So a warning....you might want to check what the restaurant prices actually are before you sit down. The extra amount paid by our family was a large amount if you consider each main was approximately £4 more than expected as well as the extra charged for the starters etc.

Garlic Chilli chicken was afloat in oil. Once again.it was dark and unappetising. Mushroom rice was mediocre. I won't be going back in a hurry. I guess its changed hands or Monday is a bad day.

We have been going here for years, but havnt been for a while, this time we were very disappointed, we arrived to find, no alcoholic drinks available, so we ordered 0% wine for the ladies and cobra 0% for the men to be told, no 0% wine, so they had sparkling water, and we brought 0% San Miguel. The food was OK, nothing like it was, after the meal the ladies were given a complimentary coffee, but nothing for the men, very wierd. Just us and one other table of 2, Won't be going again.

Lovely restaurant and the staff talk to you about your food so you can ask for a 'vegan, vegetable Jalfrezi, no butter, nice and hot but not Vindaloo' and nothing is too much trouble as they will make it specially for you. Absolutely delicious and probably better than anything we have had in BHam, Leeds, Cardiff or London and that is saying something. These guys really know how to cook! Just remember to take your own wine or beer :-)

Have to agree with Any C, definitely over attentive and would not leave us to peruse the menu in peace. We used this restaurant regularly when we lived in Bognor and when visiting since we emigrated the food was excellent as always and decent sized portions but we were very surprised and disappointed to find that there were only alcohol free drink options, sorry but curry needs a pint of Cobra and the 0% stuff just wasn’t the same. We had been very much looking forward to our curry but all in all a disappointing experience.

Faulty Towers at its' best bless them. The food was lovely and having been there many times years before I had no preceeding worries. However, when we arrived the waiters ( in an effort to be attentive I assume stood next to us and would not leave us be. The staff take it in turns to stand exceptionally close to us at the table waiting for our order. We had only just arrived. Once we had poppadoms they kept on trying to take them away in order to put down the main meal. We were happy to keep the Papadoms alongside the main meal. The manager then came over and said they normally take the plates away to the Papadoms to them being the main meal but his staff told him we wanted to keep them as had nlt finished them. We looked at one another at the table quite puzzled as to why this was unusual. When ordering the mains we needed some time to look at the menu and discuss it between us but they refused to leave the table. I think they were trying to be over attentive but the result was a very awkward and an uneasy experience. We even ask them to give us a few moments and they said yes and continued to stand up against the table waiting for the order.We asked to take the food home that was left and they readily agreed and we thought they would take the food away and bring it back packaged. However, they arrived with carrier bags and boxes without lids and handed them out to us so we on our night out had to then dispense dinners into boxes and lids were requested. All in all it was a rather bizarre experience and not a patch on what it used to be years ago. I'm sure they're just trying to be attentive perhaps but it really was a Faulty Towers experience and exceptionally awkward and bizarre.

This restaurant was advertised as the “best Indian food in Bognor Regis” and I was a little disappointed. The chicken korma was tasteless, service was very slow. The waitress who served us was very nice, although could have had more knowledge of the menu and drinks on offer at the venue as she didn’t know what they served. Parking was very good, car park across from the restaurant. Atmosphere was okay. Staff definitely need more training on how to serve customers. Average visit.

Right from the start we didn't receive a very good welcome. Whilst waiting for our drinks & deciding what to eat we had to endure (guessing it was the manager) continuously arguing on the phone & raising his voice..which became actually entertaining and comical to watch, albeit not very professional. Having placed our orders, the manager continued to shout on the phone & at members of staff. Starters arrived, & part the way through my husband eating his Sag Roll, when reaching the centre it was found to be cold. We brought it to the waiters attention, which he then took the starter away. A few minutes later he returned with a complete new Sag Roll, which was also found to be cold in the centre. After several attempts to decline the waiters insistence of another starter, it was explained that my husband did not eat meat. He proceeded to offer him various starters including chicken & lamb, completely oblivious to our dietary requests. We requested some more drinks and also asked that this item be removed from the bill. Our drinks request was ignored, and after some 10 minutes we had to make the drinks request again. It was at this point we were assured the starter had been removed from the bill. Main courses arrived, although one main was not as we had ordered. By this time we just thought to carry on & get it over with, as my son was happy to eat what was put in front of him. On receiving the bill, it became apparent that the unsatisfactory starters had not been removed from the bill. Overall, I would say that this was our worst experience in dining ever. On leaving the premises, the manager apologised for the cold starter & said that he had told the chef off...this I can actually believe. It was not busy & I may now conclude why. And you may well ask..will we be returning ?......never !

Thought we would take advantage of the 50% off and go for dinner (first time out since lockdown) what a mistake. They clearly can’t cope with demand. Got all our drinks order wrong twice. Had to ask 3 times for a drinks order ! Asked for bottled water also several times, it finally came as we finished our meal so we didn’t get to enjoy it. Asked for the desert menu and was given our bill. We said we wanted desert but they said we could not have the table any longer as the next sitting had arrived. We were not told this on the way in. They simply can’t cope with the demand of people wanting to enjoy this offer ! Will not be returning. I will go back to So India in future !

We had booked in advance. When we arrived it was clearly very busy, and we were asked to stand by the takeaway counter. No problem with that – it was a 50% off day and we appreciated it was hectic. But whilst we were waiting there a waiter came past carrying a tray and accidentally brushed against my wife, leaving a curry stain on the sleeve of my wife’s coat. He apologised, which was fine, but we still felt we needed to point it out to the manager behind the counter, in case we couldn’t get it out. At first he tried to laugh it off and dismiss it as nothing to worry about, but when we politely asked him to make a note of it he started to get angry. He then lead us to our table at the back of the restaurant. We were a bit concerned with how close this was to the people on the adjoining table (as were they) and when we queried this he started shouting at us so loudly that people on all the nearby tables stared in disbelief. As we sat down he actually shouted “No need to stay. We won’t serve you” I was absolutely gobsmacked at such behaviour, the like of which I have never ever encountered in a restaurant, and I could tell by the faces of the customers on the tables on either side that they were deeply embarrassed. We did stay, and they did serve us. And on the way out afterwards the manager (whose name was Kamal) did in fairness to him, apologise for his behaviour, but of course that was far too late.It was clear that the 50% deal made the restaurant much busier than they could cope with. The ladies on one side had to ask 3 times just to get someone to take their order, and they still hadn’t received any food by the time we left. And when we asked for our bill, we were given somebody else’s Worst of all, despite intensive efforts, we were unable to get the curry stain out of my wife’s coat. We phoned the next day and were promised the owner would phone us. We’re still waiting……

we were the only customers at 5.30pm, and we were served quite quickly. I took a spoonfull of rice and immediately felt the texture was not right, it had in it a broken elastic band. We told the waiter and the manager came over and said they would cook it again, unfortunately I could not eat anything from there. We paid for our wine and starters but were not offered compensation for the elastic band in meal.

Went for a meal with friends. Booked and general experience was good and all waiters wore masks and gloves. I did not notice any changing of gloves and would personally preferred the staff to not wear gloves but sanitise after each serving of customer. That is my personal opinion though. Ordered drinks and asked for doubles. When arrived at table the drinks did not look correct. Questioned if they was doubles and was told yes. Questioned further and then staff said do you want to speak to manager. So we did. Manager apologised saying that they were singles and sorry for the mix up. They would only charge for singles and all further drinks came with tonics separate. The meal was lovely and service was excellent we did get plenty of attention. Can’t fault the meals but trying to pull of the charge for doubles and give single drink that is something for people to watch out for.

Monday banquet night very disappointing. No clarity of how things work if you’re there for the first time. They advertise 5 courses but actually it’s just 5 dishes. Not even papadoms are included. Week after re opening due to global pandemic and the manager carries the drinks by the rim of the glasses with his ‘dirty’ hands! Definitely not good enough, definitely not fine dinning!

Had a great meal here, must be one of the best Indian restaurants outside of London. Good food good wine and good service. If you like Indian food you should try this place

Whilst staying at Butlins we ordered a take away from Cardamom bay and had a very fresh, tasty hot meal. The meat was all good quality and generous portion sizes. All arrived hot, fast and accurate.

Ordered online and was told the food would be 50 minutes, after an hour and a half we called up and were told they had made a mistake and the food would be half an hour. After another 50 minutes we called up and chased the food again and the man on the phone told me to wait a minute, we then heard the people in the kitchen screaming at each other in Indian (presumably) so we couldn’t understand what they were saying and the man on the phone lied to us and said that we cancelled the order and that he wasn’t able to give us our food because the delivery drivers had all gone home. He kept apologising. This restaurant clearly wasn’t coping. I will NEVER be eating here again!

My son waited over 2 yes TWO hours for the takeaway to arrive and eating curry at 10.30pm. Will personally never use again terrible service not even a phone call. If you are busy stop taking telephone orders customer service is much more important then taking money for orders you cannot fulfill.

Although the food is good the waiting is horrendous. They tell you 39 minutes for a takeaway and you wait an hour. I’d rather be told a realistic time than told a time that can’t be met and then get angry. This happened a few months ago and we then didn’t visit. Gave them the benefit of the doubt tonight and still they give the unrealistic time. I understand it’s valentines night and if I’d been told that the hour would be the waiting time I could’ve made an informed decision based on that but they told me 30 minutes and 70 minutes later we get our takeaway. Honestly, it’s not worth it!!!

Delicious, freshly cooked food that’s presented very professionally by the kind and engaged waiters. Lovely choice of menu items; obviously has a very creative chef. My husband had a basic madras dish (he stated it was the best he’d had in a long time) and I ordered a chicken dish which was flavoured with garlic and coconut; it wasn’t spicy but very flavoursome. The poppodums were light and airy and warm. The rice was cooked to perfection and it was obviously a high-quality basmati - the aroma was very fragrant and fresh. All served professionally, in a lovely environment with immaculate, crisp tablecloths and tableware. It’s a very popular Indian restaurant in Bognor (especially well-known with locals) so probably advisable to book at weekends and during the summer months. During the afternoon, you can literally smell these gorgeous aromas in the nearby area, as some of the spicy sauces are no doubt prepared before the evening.... thereby enticing you in later!! Easy to park, with a large car park opposite and on-road parking directly outside.

Ordered a takeaway from here. From start to finish the service and food was great. I got an email after ordering confirming the time I’d need to collect it, then when I arrived it came out ready to be taken away without delay. The chocolates were a nice touch over Christmas and the food was amazing. Will definitely be ordering again

We arrived at our destination late in the evening, the place we were staying recommended the Cardamom Bay for both in-house and takeaway, we placed our order it arrived perfectly accurate plus extras added by the restaurant and food was very hot/warm and tasted fabulous

The meal we had recently at Cardamom Bay Bognor was not very good.We came in at 7pm and had our poppadum’s, then our starter. We were then forgotten about and did not received our main meal until 8.40, this was only following a reminder from ourselves.Our food had not been prepared and were offered a free drink. When the mains did come out at 8.40 they were rushed and were not to a good standard, two of the sauces were horrible, and the lamb was tough and not edible. We complained at the time and asked for the chief to try them, but we did not get any feedback from this.I don’t normally leave feedback apart from when the food and restaurant is exceptionally good, but on this occasion due to the low standard and disappointing meal I feel that this needs doing, not sure if this is your normal standard but we were all very disappointed. We did pay the full amount for the meal and the service charge but were not happy with the quality of the food and the service.An email was sent to the restaurant but was not answered.

When you open the door to the restaurant you were met with a Sullen faced manager who seem to have little or no interest in the restaurants clients when I enquired about the table booking he eventually condescended an acknowledgement. Some advice sunshine” if you don’t like the job give it up before you ruin the business”It was the Monday night feast night and the food was generally okay the The tableservice and unlike the reception manager were efficient and pleasant restaurant is busy of course and quite noisy but even at the reduced rates it certainly is not a place I would recommend anybody to visit

This was our most favourite restaurant ever BUT recently (the last few months) the service has been terrible. Today we visited the restaurant for lunch & there was some confusion with the bill (partly my fault) but the waiter was so unhelpful & rude, so rude in fact that he laughed at us. I asked him for his name as no name badge was present but he wouldn’t tell me so I took a picture of him instead

We found this restaurant by accident whilst driving through Bognor Regis. The premises are impeccably clean ( which is very important to us)

The quality of the food is truly a cut above your average Indian restaurant . Also , the food was excellent value. The garlic naan are the most garlicy I have ever eaten and the lamb Karahi was truly exquisite . This place is well worth a visit . Don’t miss out .

My experience with Cardamom Bay was a very good one indeed. I loved the ambience of the restaurant, you can see they have spent some money on the decor and it is impeccably clean. Price, service and food was tremendous. Will come back and have now booked for Christmas party.

It started by searching online for an Indian restaurant local to us. We found Cardamom Bay and booked online. We walked in 5 minutes before and were seated immediately in a packed restaurant. We had a waiter over in 2 minutes to take a drinks order. 5 minutes later the drinks were delivered and the waiter was ready to take our food order. 15 minutes later the food was served and I have to say it was amazing! We stayed for dessert and a coffee and will say the whole evening from start to finish was incredible. Other restaurants whether Indian or not could learn from them. Top notch!

Generally I don't like the service in Indian restaurants as the staff hassle you and always interfering with your meal. Cardamom Bay changed my opinion on this as their service was amazing. Their staff while being attentive and reactive, didn't bother me and my family at all unless we wanted something. The price was acceptable but for the level of food we had I thought it was great value as all dishes came out in a reasonable time-frame and piping hot and fresh tasting. The restaurant was incredibly clean too, you don't see restaurants these days that are as clean as this one. I will take my hat off to them as they seem to have everything right.

Had a very nice experience with Cardamom Bay. The food was amazing, the service was probably the best I have seen, the choice on the menu was great and the prices were very reasonable. My partner and I will revisit this place again when back in the area.
