Elizabethan Cottage Tandoori in Brighton and Hove

Our favourite Indian restaurant, we come here often, great food, service and very cosy atmosphere.

Food was absolutely amazing and piping hot

Great food and will order again

Food was tasty but freezing cold on arrival. Ordered at 17:30 arrived 19:30. Delivery guy ran off after handing me food.

Thanks for a horrible meal last night after a long day at work! The vegetable madras had zero spice and was so horrible sweet, there was some onions and a few potatoes so was just all sauce! The "cheese and garlic" naan was completely plain and undercooked and not a bit of garlic or cheese in sight. The salmon tikka starter? Where do I start? Infact just look at my picture!!

Had a very nice meal here yesterday evening even though it wasn’t busy it was a pleasant evening the staff were attentive food was delicious . The restaurant has nice decor and surroundings. Thank you

Both me and my daughter are so disappointed by this order. We have had many times as well as eaten in the restaurant. The food has no flavour and my garlic chilli chicken was bland to say the least. I had heard several similar reactions from locals that have has a bad experience in the last couple of weeks. The meal went in the bin and not the standard we get from just eat and it's now left me apprehensive to order a curry again. It's a lot of money to just trow away.

Great meal as always, on time, hot, good size portions and friendly delivery guy ... perfect

Dopiaza was very bland and watery. Rice, naan and onion bhaji’s were cold on arrival.

Food lovely - the Goan chicken Masala was really nice - but not really a proper Goan Masala! Food also arrived still hot!

We did not receive our food which was delivered to the wrong address. I noticed the error straight away on the order confirmation and rang the restaurant to give them the correct address. I expect a full refund, thank you.

Fuimos con amigos - sabía que la reputación iba cuesta abajo, pero todos tuvimos una mala comida. Sabor v sospecha ( 2 comidas con sabor a detergente) , muy poca carne, demasiada salsa. El servicio tomó siglos, se sentía como si estuvieran tratando de llegar a nosotros por más bebidas. Lugar utilizado para ganar premios bajo propietario anterior. Último par de comidas así que así - nunca volverá después de este

Well stone me that was amazing! Defo getting from them again

Best one we have had from there so far

I requested a 7.30 delivery and the food arrived at 7pm. The driver said itvwa delivered early because I lived 10 minutes fro the restaurant.

Disappointed overall, chicken in the curry was quite dry, papadoms were soft, not what we expected from this restaurant

Curry was horrible tonight ( Chicken Dansak) the lentils was very over powering. Ordered side of chips which was under cooked. The rice, Bombay Potatoes was nice. Very disappointed !

food wasn't great very bland and the potion sizes were tiny. won't order from them again Shane as they used to be amazing when Thier run it

Wow simply wow tasty nice flavoursome good portions well cooked and succulent. Sagg, vndaloo lamb biryani and a few sides all amazing 10/10 and will deffo there again

The food turned up pretty much bang on time and it was nice and hot and totally delicious. Also really good value for money so it's a win win :) My first time using this place and I'm very impressed - well done.

The food was all delicious. Fantastic flavours . Thank you 🙏

2 hours and 5 minutes after ordering our food arrived, it’s cold and we’ve had to microwave everything to eat it, around 8 it said it was out for delivery so has it sat in a car for an hour before being delivered to us?!!

was one of best currys I've had everything was amazing can't wait to to go back 100% will be next weekend.

Delicious food, excellent service and reasonably priced - cute cosy building as well, perfect for an autumn evening!

Disgusting language from member of staff down the phone horrible food

We’ve just had a great meal tonight! Everything was perfect and it’s one of the better authentic and affordable curry houses we’ve been too, especially in Brighton where prices can get a little steep! They looked after us from start to finish, but mainly, the food was great :) The chutney tray was extensive, with a few extra options compared to usual which was nice. The mains and sides were all very flavoursome and not overly oily. The chapati and mushroom rice were okay, but completely outshone by the chicken tikka which was sizzling and very moist, and the Chana saag which was delicious. The korma was a little sweet, but heavy on coconut which was lovely. All in all, this was cracking!

very friendly and polite driver!

Best Curry in miles always use this restaurant for Indian food

Excellent service came with my family and the food was amazing I had onion bhaji and curry with shashlek was outstanding

Requested a full refund as the food was off

I was disappointed tonight which surprised me as the Elizabethan is my regular. The popadoms were stale, the chicken in the dansak was dry, the extra passanda sauce I got did not taste good and the naan was burnt at the bottom. What happened guys?

Terrible food. Chicken Korma came cold and was tasteless with little strips of chicken that was overcooked. The sag was cold and oily. The overall meal had to be thrown in the bin. Do not order from this restaurant!!!

Wonderful environment and they served politely.🙂

Ordered an hour and a half ago. Was told it would take 45 mins but it's still not here. And now they're not answering calls so no idea if I'll every get my food. Don't order from here

First time ordering, will order again. food arrived hot, and the quality of the food is great.

Great food served in wonderful environment.

Pedí una comida para llevar y la comida era absolutamente insípida y tan decepcionada, y el curry ni siquiera venía con un arroz y tampoco barato

the just eat tracker was so out of time frame. the person delivering it was rude and didn’t say Hello or say anything when arrived.

Hemos estado tratando de encontrar un buen lugar, auténticamente preparado, curry en el área de Brighton & Hove durante años y ahora finalmente hemos encontrado uno. Esta fue una comida pedida en su sitio web para su entrega en nuestra puerta a una hora especificada. Comenzó con puré de gambas reales, popadoms, seguido de Jinga de gambas reales, Jalfrezi de gambas reales, arroz pillau y naan de ajo. La entrega fue exactamente a tiempo por un miembro del personal con una sonrisa en la cara. No se encontraron fugas al abrir la bolsa de transporte. El curry explotó con frescura y sabor, el ajo naan era perfecto, ni pastoso ni como galleta. Todo fue una delicia para comer. Pedir en línea era muy fácil y una ventaja es que podía poner solicitudes debajo de cada artículo en cuanto a cómo quería que se cocinaran. Relación calidad-precio, sin duda. Lo recomendaría sin dudarlo. Los visitaremos pronto para una experiencia adecuada en el restaurante. Marvellous.

As always excellent food , Thank you

Excellent service and delicious food

this place serves amaizing food the decorations inside was vintage its an authentic place to eat in curry with friends and family love this place 👍

Food was beautiful & service was even better - Shawon) was amazing efficient, patient & up for a good chat too, would 100% recommend , edit - went again and still amazing, got the right spelling of his name - worth the out the way drive :)

Delicious. Excellent service. Can’t fault them. Thanks guys

this was our first time ordering from this restaurant, and we will definitely be ordering again. food was top notch

Ordered food but the driver reached somewhere else’s. Horrible taste and the owner is very rude. Waste of money

Fabulous food ! We were a group of 9 and we all were very impressed ! Well deserved praise to the Elizabethan staff who even confirmed by returning a call about gluten free options :)

Really disappointing food, the chicken was of a poor quality and tasted like fish!!! The Naan bread was undercooked, the rice was cold! Food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering so to me that means one thing!! Pre cooked food and zapped in the microwave. We order at least once a month but will be trying somewhere different. The food has been going downhill for a while.

First time ordering from this restaurant and I have to say, the food was excellent!The special Biryani was outstanding! Best I've had for a long time! Well done!

Wanted to try something new so tried this place and can honestly say I’ve never eaten such a beautiful curry! Absolutely Delicious! That’s coming from 2 fully trained chefs! I couldn’t have done a better job myself! Thankyou!

This is a proper old fashioned indian restaurant with excellent food and service not a pretentious boutique imposter. Will definitely recommend and return

Great food and delivery on time thanks !

We come here often as we like the friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and great food. Best in town

Driver couldn't find address and good was cold when we eventually got it

Reduced considerably takeaway portion sizes. Not as good now.

Despite the delay which we were informed about, one of the best Indians I’ve ever had.

Fantastic experience. Amazing food and arrived early! Couldn’t ask for more!

Greeted with a smile, we all had an Indian beer and some popadoms with a variety of dips, fresh Currys with aromatic rice and soft naans to mop it up with. I even got a cake and a happy birthday sung to me which made my day. Thank you we will be back

This place has gone downhill. Staff are very rude. Saw into kitchen and it is vile. Overpriced food swimming in grease. Avoid

The order was delivered for minutes after the advised earliest delivery time. What’s so frustrating is that the quality of the food is brilliant, but every time they advise I delivery time, then are late to deliver. I’ve decided I won’t be ordering from them again for this reason.

This restaurant serves delicious food and we are never disappointed. The service is also good. We highly recommend!

Visited Elizabethan Tandoori on Friday with two friends and we were all very impressed with the fantastic food and friendly staff. We had shown up an hour earlier than our reservation was booked for and they were still happy to accommodate us. We'll definitely be returning!

The best curry ever it was so nice and they are so friendly- thank you for a very good evening me and my boyfriend will definitely come again !!:)

The delivery was made at 19.30, 40 minutes later than the latest promised time. The food was cold and there was an item missing from the order (cucumber raitha)

I ordered from Uber eats and took 2 hours to come and now I have food poisoning 🥲

Lovely place not rushed great food

The taste was great but because the food was do late it was not warm enough.

The app said delivered but it wasn’t and the driver couldn’t find the house and the food is cold. Tried to call the restaurant countless times to find out where the food was but nobody answered the phone. Very disappointing.

Curries do not come with rice despite costing ~£10, missing item too

Regular customers, but the quality of the food was poor, 5 small bites of chicken in main dishes, was mainly a carton of sauce, that cost £9.95, onion Bahji was burnt and over cooked! Seemed as though they had been reheated. Food was Luke warm, salad looked like it was from the day before. And I’m feeling rather unwell today!!! So disappointed.

Excellent food very good service

Also, order was between cold and lukewarm . Not the best I have had from this restaurant

Great night, tasty food and perfect service.

Normally get takeaways from here, it's a great Indian restaurant.

We regularly order from here and would normally recommend, however on this order which was an hour late and then the driver came back as he'd given us the wrong otder, was also missing onion bhajis from both kebab mix starters, the madras sauce had leaked from the container and the madras itself only had 4 small bits of chicken. Restaurant refuse to compensate and Just Eat have not got back to me and its been 7 days so awful service on both parts. Appreciate things can go wrong but this is at our expense.

This was one of the best tandoori restaurants out there! Delectable cuisine And incredible decor Would recommend to anyone!

Late review for this as I visited 3 months ago, so I'll keep it brief. From what I remember, I came home to tell my wife we had to visit as the food was delicious. Portions were good size, restaurant was very clean, service was polite and friendly, but most importantly the food was very very tasty. Prices were comparable with other curry restaurants. I normally go the Ashoka, which has upped it's game in the last year or so (I presume it was taken over as it was so poor before), and whilst I am more than happy with the Ashoka, I felt The Elizabethan was slightly better.

2 weeks in a row they got my order wrong, tried ringing the restraint and they did not answer the phone, I am very dissatisfied with this restraint

Brilliant food, nicely spiced, very tasty. Delivery driver was lovely. Thankyou.

Very good Indian restaurant, big menu, many traditional variations including quite spicy Madras curry. Cosy atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, thank you! No parking, you can find place on street or at miller and carter opposite.

It took 2 hours for our food to arrive. We tried calling and both times were hung up on.

We have used the Elizabethan Tandoori for several years, originally to dine in and now only for dine-out. The website booking system is too complicated, keeps returning you to the previous page and the in-house booking system is unreliable. Use Deliveroo, Just-Eat or other delivery companies as they provide updates regarding progress. Ordering direct does not, and our order was lost this evening. No complaints once it had arrived (an hour later than confirmed) and we will remain customers.

Over 2 hours to deliver cold food. Oh and don't bother calling, they don't answer the phone @

Took 1 hour 30 minutes to get to us on a Tuesday evening. Turned up cold. Onion baji was burnt and very dry, couldn’t eat it. Curry was very dry and struggled to it eat it. Won’t be ordering from here again

I got what I ordered. That was yummy butter chicken and ceylon curry (lamb). It had 1 papadum, mixed onions. The delivery was on time beyond expected. I would reorder in again. Also, I got a stamp card. I'm so happy about it.

Great food, but 1 hour 20 minutes delivery.

The food was fine but took over two hours to come from ordering! We got a estimated time of delivery of 8pm, it came at 9.25pm

Best curry we've had in a long time

My food was cold, kids aren’t happy have to order again

Delivery driver left restaurant at 18:33, food arrived at 18:55

The popadom tasted of fish, the curries were the worst I’ve had in years. Truly terrible food.

Great food with excellent service.

Food is piping hot and perfect

We love the Elizabethan! Always great food and great service.

Very good food and service, the new owners have added some more food, busy on a Sunday evening, will return

We really liked the whole experience, the staff were friendly and attentive, with the right balance of asking if you needed anything and leaving you to enjoy your evening in peace. The food was amazing, fairly well described on the menu. I'm sure this will become a new favourite.

Took an hour to get food. Food was dry and not cooked well and my friend not found enough chicken tikka on food. It was a busy night I get it, but worst service I have ever experienced. Go ANYWHERE else

Terrible food. My son and I ate dinner at this resturant and both got sick a couple hours later. Do not eat here, it will ruin your week. Bathrooms were also filthy. Too much lemon juice into Dansak, too much Sugary CTM.

Had one of the best chicken tikka masalas ever here. Naan bread was 10/10. Even my lime soda was spot on.

Staff ignoring phone calls, hour late delivery off luke warm slop and missing onion bhajis… don’t bother!
