This is one of our local Indian restaurants and we do like the flavour of the food served. However, it is a little frustrating that the vegetables used are not of a standard to match their flavour. I ordered the Vegetable Balti (as a non meat eater) which is described on the menu as being cooked in a ‘speciality Balti paste with pieces of onion, red and green pepper’ - my curry had none of these. The Balti vegetables mainly consist of a bagged frozen mix of sweetcorn, diced carrot and beans - I also got a piece of potato and a piece of cauliflower. I understand that it is costly to use fresh vegetables but stocking some onions and peppers should surely be covered in the prices charged. Even if the frozen mix was balanced with some freshly prepared vegetables it would make a difference and would mean we would be likely to order more often. The other local tandoori does include a wider range of vegetables so it would be great to see Elaichi do the same. If I was rating on flavour alone my rating would be better but in terms of quality of ingredients it has to be average.

Staying in Henfield for a few days on business, we were happy to be able to walk to a few places for dinner after very long work days. The two pubs were good solid places to eat with dependable food and welcoming atmosphere. Wanting something different on our last night, we tried the Elaichi Indian Restaurant. We learned it's just been open a few months and it was a treat! Our hostess led us through the extensive menu and answered questions, giving great recommendations. We started with Papadum, then an onion Bhaji that was like a dense, crisp fried fritter with a cool yogurt(?) sauce. For mains, we fought over the creamy Chicken Rogan Josh and the super spicy Chicken Vindaloo. Sides were another heavily spiced dish with lots of perfectly cooked cauliflower and a surprisingly wonderful spinach and mushroom side dish. The staff was kind and helpful, the odd 70s elevator music made us laugh, and the food was inexpensive and really delicious!! What an unexpected gem!

Hi we here last week. Even though they have newly opened and were quite busy. The food was very nice and service was up to the mark.

Good place to stay and relax. Indian food was amazing. Interior of this place gives a antique and historic vibe. Rooms are cheap and comfortable.

Just had a wonderful meal at Elaichi, the new Indian restaurant. To be honest the portions were generous. The staff was friendly, especially the manager was really helpful. I'll definitely come back. Best part is they also do takeaways.

I’ve eaten in here 3 times over the last 3 months and I just cannot fathom how they operate their at table ordering. The first time we came they took over 30 minutes to take our food order, this was a mid week quiet evening. The food itself was very good and we were really impressed, other than the slow service. But we assumed it was just a one off oversight. We returned, this time a Saturday night, bringing another couple with us, we were at our booking for 6.30pm, we thought early enough to not have poor service. This time it was approximately 45 minutes until our order was taken, despite asking twice to give our order. It seems that only the owner and possible 1 other member of staff are trusted to take food orders, this may explain the extreme delays on being able to order your food. 3rd visit, this was a group of us, I wouldn’t have visited again, someone else booked it this time. This was a Monday evening, there was only 1 other table with a couple on. It was nearly 40 minutes until we were allowed to order our food this time (10 minutes after I prompted a waiter we wanted to order). I honestly cannot figure out why it takes so long to order your food, it’s either to delay you so you order more drinks / spend more money or the kitchen can’t deal with the amount of takeaways and it’s to stall the orders. Whatever it is, I shall not be returning due to the sheer frustration.

Just ordered my first takeaway. Had one of the meal deals which was incredible value for the amount of food included (under £9 for main sized curry and rice) and tastes delicious.

First visit for our 55 wedding anniversary and we have to say it was one of the best Indian meals we have had in our lives.
