Elizabethan Cottage Tandoori in Brighton and Hove

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

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

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

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

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?!!

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.

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.

I ordered a takeaway and the food was absolutely tasteless and so disappointed, and the curry didn’t even come with a rice and not cheap either

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.

As always excellent food , Thank you

We have been trying to find a good, authentically prepared, curry venue in the Brighton & Hove area for years & now we have finally found one. This was a meal ordered on their website for delivery to our door at a specified time. Started with King Prawn purée, popadoms, followed by King Prawn Jinga, King Prawn Jalfrezi, pillau rice & garlic naan. Delivery was exactly on time by a staff member with a smile on his face. No leakages found on opening the carrier bag. The curries exploded with freshness & flavour, the garlic naan was perfect, neither doughy or biscuit like. Everything was a delight to eat. To order on line was very easy & a bonus is that you could put requests under each item as to how you wanted them cooked. Value for money, definitely. Would recommend without hesitation. Will be visiting them soon for a proper restaurant experience. Marvellous.

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 👍

Excellent service and delicious food

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!

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

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!

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

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

Reduced considerably takeaway portion sizes. Not as good now.

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 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.

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

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!

Always spot on, best curry in Brighton

We ordered 7 curries for pick up. 30 minutes later we arrived to pick up as per the restaurant. 45 minutes still nothing and no Comms. We spoke to the FOH who said 5 minutes. Another 15 passed and we was told “5 minutes” Eventually after waiting 1.20 since placing the order our food was giving Toni’s. There was only 2 couples in the restaurant. We won’t be ‘rushing’ back here

I always enjoy the food from here.

Good service, very nice food. Would recommend.

The food was very poor and the waiting staff were clearly inexperienced. Don't waste your money or find here.

1st visit recommended by friends. Food was lovely and staff were very friendly. Highly recommended .

Indian Food delivered on a campsite. Brilliant.

Best Indian takeaway in Brighton and Hove. Ordered recently and never disappointed. Food is always beautifully seasoned and well cooked. Always hot on arrival. Great selection of dishes.

Stopped here on way home from airport. Our first visit and was good. Not the widest of choices but good honest Indian food. Will come again

Every time we order from the Elizabethan, the food is amazing!

I took my wife after hearing good things, but very small and almost on top of each other , also the help are not singing from the same hymn sheet.

Ordered this on Uber eats and the delivery took 1hr and 40 minutes to arrive on a TUESDAY evening!? I don’t know how it took a sag paneer to cook that long but not impressed with the delivery. Definitely won’t be giving the delivery man a tip 😤

Decided to go for a last minute Tuesday evening curry, which turned into a pleasant experience. Staff very attentive and took the order efficiently. Drinks and food arrived soon after and it was great. Very tasty dansak and onion bajii. Young man who served us was great, deserves a pay rise. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great food and fab service, very busy and the guys worked very hard. It’s now my go to Indian restaurant in Brighton. Top marks to all who work here
