Service and staff was nice enough. Food well, I gave 1 star as can't give none. Flavourless curry's. The garlic nan tasted plain. I have had more flavour in a Corma. No spice absolutely nothing positive I can say about this food ofther then it was hot in temperature. So disappointing. Had better from a supermarket store. 😩

Without fussing I mentioned the chicken in my madras was gelatinous and not good. I never complain but I felt I had too this time and to my surprise I was billed fully without any comment. Not impressed. This morning my tummy is not the best!!!

We are holidaying in the area & decided to try this restaurant as we had driven past several times. What a treat! The food was absolutely delicious & the portion sizes were generous. We were a party of 4 adults including one in a wheelchair & accessibility was no problem. Quite frankly I think the food is better than our local Indian restaurant.

The food was nice. We ordered three different curries. Chicken tikka masala, a lamb Korai and a chicken tikka dansak. (With pilau rice and peshwari naan). Some of the tubs of Currys didn't come completely full which was a bit of a shame but they tasted nice. The lamb came in very small cubes as well rather than being nice big pieces. Everything was boiling hot and fresh. This won't be my new regular Indian though.

We thought we had the best Indian restaurant on our doorstep ie The Royal, Hailsham but decided we’d try The Eastern Promise. Wow, totally different and menu had many unknown dishes but we’ll return until we’ve tried them all. All I can really say is they were a delight from my booking call to them wishing us goodnight. Food was heavenly, a really lovely evening, thank you

Nice restaurant, we had chicken tikka starter which I think wasn't cooked in the tandoor as it had no colour to it and was very moist, my partner had vegetable dhansak which she said was nice, I had chicken madras which had nice amount of spice but sauce was like water, bombay aloo was cooked nicely but had no spice to it, garlic naan was not garlicky at all, keema naan had plenty of meat in it, onion bhajis were over cooked and very small. This restaurant was a lot better in the past, we haven't been here for a few years and we won't be returning anytime soon.

I'm sorry to say that this was one of the worst Indian meals we've ever had. The Peshwari Chicken was completely and utterly tasteles, no trace of any spices not even any salt. In a blind taste test I would not have had the faintest idea what I was eating. The Cauliflower Bhajee was no beter. Lamb Dupiaza was fractionally better but only just, aided by the presence of onions. The Brinjal Bhajee was equally lack lustre. Judging from the previous good reviews, I can only guess that they have a different chef now.

A professionally operated restaurant with quality food and service. Although Eastern Promise is located in the lovely sleepy village of Herstmonceux diners travel long distances for the quality menu. Interior and exterior of property is lovely and the management are a well respected group among the local village. I highly recommend. As an update: we purchased food this past weekend for takeaway. Sadly, it did not meet our expectations and did not represent the same quality we've experienced in the past. We will definitely return but will be guarded as to our next purchase We're hoping this one experience was just a glitch - things such as these can happen from time-to-time, so we're hoping for a positive experience on our next visit. Nevertheless, Eastern Promise still remains as one of our local favourites.

The food was horrid. The mushrooms were burned, the coconut rice tasted like ground cardboard . The mushrooms so badly burned and so bitter they were inedible. I cannot understand the five star reviews - either written by people who don’t know Indian food or those who are happy to except a goopy brown sauce on everything. Two stars are generous- but am trying to be fair to the kind owner and the tandoori chicken and shami kebab which were both palatable.

Thought we would treat ourselves to a takeaway Christmas Eve, knew that prices had gone up considerably (for at least the dish I normally have) a few months earlier however what was really disappointing on this occasion was both the quality and quantity of food. Both myself and partner thought Chicken was low grade and containers were only half full at best. Sauce was good (whilst not much of it) and staff were friendly but in short we won't be going back which is a real shame as quite a drive to alternatives.

We only wanted some bread and poppadums. When we arrived we were charged and paid on the card. While we were waiting for our order, we were asked if we paid, we said we did. Next minute they’re talking foreign and accusing us of not paying, holding back the food and making us look like criminals in front of other customers. Eventually got the food, came home to find no meat in the keema Nan (£4.15!) We phoned back after we had eaten to complain and he denied he was rude and put the phone down on us, no apology obviously. For a nice little village they are not a very nice restaurant!!

We ordered a takeaway to be delivered about 2 miles from the restaurant. It was an order for over £80 and they added £3 for delivering it, without any warning. The food was very disappointing and we will not be ordering again. The rice was old and had been re heated. My lamb madras was a mixture. Part of it was good quality and well cooked with nice pieces of lamb. the other part had different coloured sauce and had tough uncooked pieces of lamb and gristle. Not pleasant

We've used this restaurant many times over the years, sometimes it has been delicious. But recently, the quality, and quantity took a nosedive. We decided to give it a little distance, but tonight, fancied a curry and thought why not try it again. I am so disappointed that I wasted my money on it. Not only did it arrive cold, needing to be reheated, despite only being a couple of miles away, but the portion size was abysmal, and the food tasteless and poor quality. We ordered our usual Balti, requesting it to be on the sweeter side as it has been too spicy before. (We have done this many times, so I know how it should taste and look). Tonight though, we did not receive anything remotely similar. It was a golden yellow sauce with only 3 chunks of tough lamb in and to top it off, the container was not even half full!! Shocking! The tandoori chicken was dry and had no tandoori flavour at all. One piece was comparible to unmarinated barbecued chicken and the other tasted of salt. Barely any rice was in our pot too and the mushroom bhaji consisted of only 2 tablespoons of wilted mushroom and no sauce. For over £32 this was a complete mess and I will not be bothering with here again. Daylight robbery from an establishment that has clearly decided to take no pride in their preparation. I advise to go elsewhere if you intend to have enough food to feed two people for dinner.

Have ordered several times and generally don't have negative feedback - but today our order was over half an hour late, no updates from the restaurant and after calling them twice, they mumbled something about the driver driving from Eastbourne to Polegate then to Hailsham. He hung up the phone while I was mid sentence (I was nothing but polite so not sure why?) Eventually our food was delivered.. Was cold so needed reheating.. Shame, their food is normally lovely.
