Chowringhee in Brighton and Hove

Great Indian food, never fails to disappoint, now wonder they won the curry life best restaurant award.. highly recommend

Ordered online at 7.08pm with a promised delivery time of MAXIMUM 30 minutes so latest arrival by 7.38pm. 7.55pm came, I called to follow up and was told it would be with me soon. 8.40pm comes. Still no curry. Takes 28 times to try and get through on the phone to be told they're not sure what happened and they will send it again. Still waiting now at nearly 9pm almost 2 hours after I originally placed the order. Food isn't even that special having eaten their food before. I ordered from them because I thought it would be the quickest option as I live 10 mins drive up the road. Really disappointing and really no excuse. I would have expected a refund as well as my curry being sent. Who knows, I might be waiting for the rest of my life at this rate. Maybe place your order a week before you actually want to eat it and then you might be satisfied.

The most perfect Indian meal. Fabulous staff, deliciously spiced Prawn Dish, Poppadoms and Chutneys. Brighton folk go to this excellent restaurant. You will not regret it!!! A worthy winner of Best Curry House in Sussex.

The food is good and good value for money, but they didn’t offer many dishes that you cannot get elsewhere. The restaurant was very busy, so service was understandably slow, but they were courteous and polite. The only issue I had was that it was very noisy, enough that it was difficult to hold a conversation.

Food lacked the flavour of a good curry

lovely flavour food or all dishes, food nicely packaged and delivered well

Always excellent quality, very generous portions and delivered piping hot!

Ordered as a first time customer nearly £40 worth of food. Despite a very loud background noise on the phone (i kinda get it, friday night, you're busy) Had a lovely chat on the phone with the lady who took my order, she recommended me some dishes. When it arrived the driver, who was clearly in a rush, dropped a greasy bag at my feet that had clearly fallen over inside the vehicle. There was items missing from the order and when asked where they were, he said i hadn't ordered them. when asked if i could get them, i was told very rude and abruptly "no", he apparently had 3 other deliveries to attend to. He knocked very loudly again about 20 seconds later, and then i got 2 phone calls, (presumably from the manager), begging me to take the food and the missing items. no offer of a discount, some kind of sweetener, but most importantly, no apology. nothing. There was also a 10% discount cash order that wasn't put on the order that never materialised. i know i ordered the coke, because i asked for the order total at the end of the phone call, and then added it up after the fact. Absolutely APPALLING customer service, for which this made me feel uncomfortable accepting the food. Absolutely will not be ordering from there again, and will be telling friends & family to avoid like the plague.

Their food taste is 10 out of 10. Quality was awesome 🔥🔥. Stuff are so friendly.

After 1 hour I was called to say it would be another 25-30 minutes then it was another hour so I rang them up and it was another 20 minutes. It was marked as delivered after about 40 minutes incorrectly.

Straightforward, honest curry restaurant in a local parade. Food good, clean environment. Worth a visit

We had a delivery, based on a recommendation. It's 100% the best Indian take out I've had in Brighton. Better flavours, less greasy. And really tender lamb.... so often it's chewy gristle. This is my new 'go to'

The worst tikka masala on earth 🌏 Why? Red sugar sauce, no kick, coconut and dead bland. This is not a curry! It’s a dish hard to swallow! Do not waste your money you will sit hungry on the table 👎🏻 £30 pounds wasted!

Proper nice food at this palace. Delivery was on time and the driver was a nice lad. Will definitely be ordering again.

Prawns were obviously frozen and tasted off. All curries had the same flavour :(

The lamb tikka main was missing the naan bread

Fantastic flavours and arrived piping hot from the other side of town. Might be my new favourite.

It was not the delivery time it was the rudeness of the person from the restaurant, he was not willing to drive to the back entrance and chose to park in John Street and then expected me to go down three flights of stairs and then back up three flights of stairs to collect the food order from them ! He then said he would bring the order to the flat door as all other delivery people do but he then gave me a bad look when he passed the bag to me ! We wont be ordering again from Chowringhee which is a shame as the food was expensive but nice ! The cost for delivery was £3 with no customer service whatsoever...

Fantastic tasty dishes. I did receive far too much rice as on the just eat site it is not clear that they all the main dishes come with a side of rice or a naan. With my extra unnecessary order of rice sundries I will be eating rice for the next few days! Great perfectly spiced Indian foods.

Excellent food as always, hot, and good portions…..oh and fast delivery (Wednesday)!

Such a delight of a curry house, very attentive and polite staff. The food was a delight. Very good value. Will definitely be returning for the garlic chicken curry 🍛 😋

Really nice food and friendly staff. Recommended

We have ordered from Chowringhee 4 times after switching from another local takeaway. We were initially very impressed, quick service and great flavours. Unfortunately, last night we ordered a prawn dish as part of our order and I immediately tasted that the prawns were off. My partner tried some and agreed. We could smell that the prawns were off / old. I called Chowringhee and they were apologetic, however unable to offer a refund because we ordered through Just Eat. They have advised that next time we order they will deduct the cost of the prawns main from our order. I don’t think that this is an adequate response given the very real risk of poisoning. It’s also left me questioning how fresh the ingredients are given that orders are prepared so quickly. I would expect the entire order to be refunded as it really put us off the rest of our meal and the sauce had mixed with other items on the plate. Maybe this was just a one off and we may try again in future given the previous good meals but it has definitely put us off ordering seafood dishes from here.

Got a mixed grill from them tonight!! OMG, I’ll never go anywhere else from now on. Bloody lovely and two pots of the mint sauce that you never get enough of from other places. Well worth going or ordering from here

Always piping hot and delicious. Best Indian take away for miles. Highly recommend!

Very tasty food, pleasant friendly service, and good Indian decor & music.

Superb service, really attentive and the food was fantastic! Atmosphere was hard to judge as we went very early at 5.30 before anyone else came in. However on leaving the place was full. Assuming for Iftar. Best place to eat definitely.

this time chicken very hard and dry unfortunately, usually very good

Received the wrong curry and dessert. Usually good but must have been busy!

Had an excellent takeaway from here last week, the food is authentic and delicious. Food was delivered within the timescale promised.

By far the best Indian restaurant in Brighton, didn’t know it was here until A leaflet came through the door, lovely staff very nice restaurant incredible food and very much worth the money. Definitely will be coming back for more.

The quality of food wasn't ok at all, the butter chicken was so bad I’ve paid so much for a big order but it all disappointed me 👎🏼👎🏼

Food was excellent, staff attentive,atmosphere a little lacking ,but all of our group ate all of our food and had a good time ,along with several other tables that night.

I ordered masala grilled tilapia and usually curry - butter chicken. This time came with 1 box of rice. The taste of butter chicken was nice as usual. And first time I tried tilapia, it was good, not spicy at all. It was plain actually. I would recommend this restaurant!!

Delivered within time and lovely and hot. Tasty food would definitely use again.

hot, fresh, delicious food, thank you

Cold upon arrival ..as we live around the corner was disappointing …..Great taste and flavour but the naga garlic was less naga and just hot ..easy eating and not that lovely naga heat I have had before so slightly disappointed

Food was overall ok, but the roganjosh was a bit bland.

Really impressed with our first takeaway from here. Excellent and food. Thank you!

Quality always good at this place

I ordered my favourite Chicken Khorma. And I tried paneer bhuna, it was nice. Both of them weren't spicy and came with rice. Paneer Bhuna was a bit plain. I would recommend Chicken Khorma as a popular one.

Very nice, 1st time ordering from here. Decent amount of meat and veggies. Would order from you again 🙂

Ordered from chowingree was delivered by Sri India Dansak was bland chicken wasn’t good no popadoms with meal

epic food, especially the divine dahl bukara and tandoori prawns. lovely people too

Great food, very decent portions and delivery on time. Thank you

Great food as usual , made a tasty change as our Christmas dinner

Got a scrummy takeaway here on 23/12/23. Enough foo for two meals and tasty...good for quality and quantity...

Lovely food great portion sizes

Worked as a delivery driver years ago when it was sri india and the food was always good. It is still excellent, always my go to indian place

Lamb madras and onion bhajis excellent, rice good Kulcha naan was wet, soggy and undercooked. All the food was lukewarm. After warming up the curry and rice plus air frying the naan bread I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

Always excellent, great quality, promptly delivered. Won’t go anywhere else now! Thank you

Delicious food; decent-sized but not overwhelming portions.

Glad it was a bit early, better than late 😀

High quality food. I prefer to order breads and rice separately rather than have them included with each dish, that's only my preference not a criticism.

I was always ordering Indian food here. They are the best among other competitive restaurants. I have been dined in and take away. But I like to take away and collect. The curry I was ordered this time, they were Balti and korma. They were really nice. It came with nan and rice. The Lamb balti was fine, but I don't like that they put the kebab in. The chicken tikka korma was nice. I plan to order here again and try another menu.

Great restaurant - fresh, wholesome, tasty curries. Friendly people, good service.

Normally really nice food but this time was very greasy

Quality seems not quite as good recently. I can't put my finger on why. It usually arrives way too quickly to be cooked fresh. Baltis are advertised as coming with a naan, but don't, then I had someone call me and argue with me about it. Shame because this place used to be 5 star.

amazing food! perfect portion size and so well priced! wont be going anywhere else now! thankyou so much!

This is a positive review. We initially received the wrong order. This was replaced - I did sense that two replacement orders had been sent as a driver from Just Eat, and a chap from the restaurant arrived at the same time. Food was great, but delivery a touch chaotic. However, they did sort things out, so well done and thank you.

Pretty much on time, but we did pre order. Very tasty!

We apparently qualified for a free portion of Bombay potatoes but never received it.

Chowringhee is an amazing Indian restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavorful dishes. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. I highly recommend trying their butter chicken and garlic naan. You won't be disappointed! 🍛🌶️

I wanted to try something different, and I was absolutely delighted with the results of my meal thank you

Vindaloo curry was very spicy but nice. I ordered it to remind me when I was staying in India. And it was the first time I ordered Nepali food. I don't think I like it. It was so spicy. But it was good to try. x

My favourite indian food is butter chicken. I have it with rice or paratha. The food is nice taste. Pick-up time was quick. Friendly staff. I reorder it many times in the past.

I like paneer and pasanda curry. They were very nice. The curry came with rice per serve. Great taste and quality. Recommended.

Lovely food, really good size portion, food arrived quickly. Definitely order again.

Was really tasty usually get given poppadoms so didn’t order any this time and none came with the meal even though it was over £40? But was super yummy and would order again

the food is so delicious. I have been dining in before so I won't hesitate to order it. Foods are hot, well-packed, and ready to eat. The collection time is punctual. I am going to order it for the next time.

Really nice when we went to eat in but when we got a take away they didn’t give us what we ordered then we complained and they refused to send us the food we ordered!

Very tasty and delivered quickly

Tasty food, delivered promptly

Great tasting food fast delivery

Ordered for delivery. Delivery took just over the 45 minutes so no major problem given it was a Saturday. Get the negatives out the way first: Ordered garlic naan which was a bit overcooked, onion bhajis which were a bit overcooked, vegetable tikka Massala which was a little greasy. Positives: Everything was tasty, rich in flavour and hot (even if some bits were overcooked). The curry sauce was especially full of flavour and the portions were big meaning I've been nibbling at it for a couple of days. Overall, I think because it was a Saturday night the kitchen must've been busy but the flavours were good and I'll order again.

This Indian takeaway was absolutely delicious 🤤 really tasty and moist . Plenty of it , & came really quickly as well. Defo be ordering again from there .

Usually great food but today the bhaji and puri tasted as if they'd been cooked a day or two ago and reheated for the busy Sat evening. The other parts of the order was pleasant enough but not great, and not good enough to stop me from ordering from elsewhere next time. Generally, an average meal. btw, the delivery was good and friendly.

Great food for a social night, this restaurant we highly recommended for quality of food & on time delivery 👍

Wanted to support local, food arrived 45 minutes late, not particularly hot, but tasted ok, burnt flat onion bhaji's. Unfortunately disappointing.

Lovely experience with this delivery all very efficient and so tasty. Will definitely order again.

In comments asked for one Boiled rice…..always not a problem but didn’t happen this time

The food is always delicious from here, always hot and good portions.

Every mouthful a delight. Happy to have found this place. Delicious.

Very late and very nasty. Won't be ordering again. Waste of 50 quid.

Had heard good things about this place... But found it below expectations... King prawns n chicken tandoori were good .. but the gravies like butter chicken, paneer chilly and chicken Rogan Josh were not upto the mark... Though the quantity was good .. but taste wise it was disappointing..

This is an excellent local Indian restaurant that provides tasty food and excellent service. I have had many take aways and also visited the restaurant. Reasonably priced, good value for money.

The Malayan was a bit spicy and the pineapple wasn’t good, the rest of order was fine.

Amazing food tasty and hot but didn’t get my Nan which I was looking forward to dipping but got a refund so thank you

Very disappointing luke warm food. Daal was just a bland lentil mush, sag aloo flavourless and didn't seem fresh and only discernable flavour in Xacuti Chicken was salt. Far too much salt.

Curry was ok, not much flavour. The popadums and bhajis were nice but disappointing overall.

Food was awful - luke-warm, greasy, overcooked and tasteless. Will definitely not order from them again.

The food was mouth watering. And experienced a great dine in experience with beautiful ambience. The service was great and I loved the way they made recommendations for food.

We Really enjoyed the food . Thanks !

The food was presented really nicely and the delivery driver was very nice but the food was cold and kind of dry/ stale also they gave me rice instead of naan but maybe I ordered too close to closing time. Good prices though ans good flavour.

Everything tasted great I’ll be ordering again

The ambience is really nice and food was very good without a doubt. But we had problem with the staff he was unnecessarily telling us how to order. Trying to teach us manners of ordering inspite we of talking to him with respect which ruined the experience a bit. Overall rating - Food : 8/10. Ambience : 9/10

Had a curry missing from the order but I rang up and explained a curry was missing and they sent one out straight away with complimentary onion bhajis 5 ⭐️

Hands down best dhansak I've had and great value for money. 10/10 would smash again

Food is disgusting . It’s tasteless and there is not even salt. I wish I didn’t order from here. It’s a wastage of money

First time used ,will use again ,great tasting curry with speedy service,can't fault.
