Flavours of India in Hastings

Ordered Dal, rice and Sag Aloo with Tandoori Chicken as a take away. I think they had forgot to put the flavours of India in the cooking. It was appalling no flavour whatsoever. Even the chicken was dry. The dog was just as swimming pool of synthetic yellow. The rice had a texture as if cooked and re headed from lunch time. Won’t be ordering from here again. It’s appalling that the restaurant searches this serve such tasteless food and not be brought to their attention.

We had a really nice dinner there. Top in all respects.

Went for dinner with my boyfriend . First time visiting and loved it . Service was great will be back . Couldn't fault any of it

Food was lovely. Service was slow but there was a lot of us.

Visited with friends was a wait for table the owner offered a free drink but then charged us for it waited 2 hrs for food

We went to our table which was meant to be for 14, for my husbands birthday an had given us two tables one behind the other which is not very good seeing it was booked for 14, we were all so cold that we had to sit in our coats, we asked for heating several times as it wasn’t on at all and they bought down a calor gas heater that was by the bar, and it was put at the end of the table which was no good to everyone else, after about 10 mins it was taken away as they said it was out of gas, so many of us and another large party asked for heating they put the thermostat on, and it warmed slightly, the service was good and the food was lovely but being so cold we left instead of staying for drinks

The food was lovely and came out quick considering there were 14 of us celebrating a birthday would have given a 5 but unfortunately it was freezing cold in the restaurant with just one calor gas heater on low to heat quite a large restaurant I have never been as cold eating somewhere which was a shame there was another large party there who all said the same.

Ordered a takeaway for my birthday and we were so disappointed the used to be one of the best Indian restaurants/takeaway in Hastings the food was so bland and tasteless we would have been better buy a supermarket curry sauce. Half the food is still in the fridge the rest is in the bin Also the masala chip just tasted like soggy frozen chips with pepper on £42 wasted. NEVER AGAIN

Just had a takeaway and it was fabulous. So tasty, hot and delivered quickly. Best takeaway I have had in a long time. If I am going out for a curry I always go to this restaurant too. Thank you.

I visited this restaurant on a Friday evening with 3 friends. The service was friendly and efficient. We had a range of dishes, all were delicious. The wine was lovely and reasonably priced. A great evening and I will be returning ! Because our meal was so delicious we used them for a takeaway the following week , 17 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food.

Great restaurant always go in when in Hastings, the owner and staff are fantastic x

Wide variety of different curry's and a clean friendly staff .use it all the time great place

Went for my sisters birthday, all the food was exceptional, especially the onion baijis and tandoori chicken. The staff were super friendly and welcoming.

We ate here the weekend of the bonfire and fireworks. By a mile the best Indian meal we have ever had. We had the mixed grill for two. We live in Folkestone and we’re going back this Saturday for my wife’s birthday. Well worth the 80 mile round trip! It is top drawer.

Lovely food, service and atmosphere. We went as a party and had the banquet which was really lovely and good value.

Very helpful staff and excellent food.

Visited again on the 16th October 23 and yet again did not let us down always friendly and very tasty when in Hastings it’s always a visit see you again soon Elaine and Andy rays friend x

Another great time spent in one of our favourite places when here in Hastings thanks again for the lovely hospitality and food see you again soon Elaine and Andy

Had an amazing evening with my partner at this Indian restaurant and I can honestly say it’s the best I’ve been to. I highly recommend it!!

Did I just taste the best Naan bread in the world? Very much so I trust. Will I come again? Is the Pope catholic?

Delicious food, fresh and huge portions. Friendly staff and good service, definitely recommend

I have struggled to find a good Indian restaurant since moving here 3 years ago. Today was my first time ordering from here! I had a home delivery, set meal for one. It was absolutely delicious! The lamb in the madras was succulent and perfect. The Bombay potatoes were so yummy! I would order again! Highly recommend!! Thank you :)

Food was excellent, the midweek "5 course offer" for under £20 a head was very good value. The staff were all very friendly. For a Thursday evening, the place was quiet, o ly about 5 tables in use, which I really can't understand why they weren't busier.

My friend and I went for the banquet deal at £18.99. Every course was delicious and the cooking skills were amazing, certainly bringing the flavours of India spices to our palates. The staff were excellent, attentive and super friendly.We both agreed thus was a 10 out of 10 experience in terms of cuisine, customer care and value.Well done FOI team superb!

Amazing Veggie Dhansak - really tasty and the right amount of spice. Lots of good food - the tarka dhal was very nice too. This restaurant serves good food that is really tasty, if you like a traditional curry restaurant.

Great meal for five, delivered quickly. Exactly as expected, good portion size and flavours. Will definitely use again. We provided our What3words address and link which they used, hence a hassle-free delivery. Thanks

Very bad taste. Waste of money. I took Bhindi do pyaza with Parathas. both of them were bad. no salt or no spices. Please don’t waste your money 😒

What a gem! Such flavourful food. Fresh Naan. Nice wine list.

Really good evening of food in a pleasant relaxed family atmosphere. Service was great, staff super polite and very helpful with our orders and requirements. Totally recommend.

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff

Delicious food, beautifully presented and great service.

Asked for a veggie dish. Tarka daal Was bland n not spicy enough The lamb was fabulous 👌

Yesterday, I ordered prawns puri , though ordered came on time , the puri and prawns where packed together in one container so puri was completely soked in prawns curry and couldn't enjoy the actual crispy puri.

We had a terrible takeaway from this restaurant. For a start they got the order wrong. We ordered a chicken tikka main, and they sent a chicken birianni instead. The rest of the mains were over cooked chicken dishes, the chicken had obviously been cooked some hours before we ordered. In short the whole meal went straight in the bin. I will never use this place again.

Fantastic food no need to say more

staff were very friendly. however the food i had was very underwhelming. the food was tepid temperature and not fresh , tasted like poorly reheated food , there lots of sauce with little meat ,

Nice food good service and prices fair. Will use again.

Amazing as always! Whether dining in or having them deliver, Flavours trumps them all. Five stars for a five star establishment.

The best Indian restaurant in Hastings, Not the cheapest, but sure is the best.

Very good Indian restaurant and reasonably priced too

Great food well priced staff very attentive

Much quietee than i expected for a friday. Maybe they get more business via takeaway. Place looks very nice clean and well maintained. Decor is lovely. Visited after a recommendation but nothing stood out about the meal average food average service. Unfortunately not an average price. Wasnt value for money. I dont mind paying for a really good curry but this wasnt it.

Lovely food staff really friendly

Absolutely delicious food! Ordered the paneer pathia which was nice and spicy. Would've given 5 stars but the bhajis were almost cold for the 2nd time. Maybe a box would keep them hot rather than a paper bag. But overall really flavoursome food, nd very enjoyable thank you.

Some of the food was okay but they served me a chapati in a plastic bag, absolutely disgusting. I could never recommend food being served in plastic.

A large party of us booked and had a really fantastic evening. Flavours of India are great hosts and everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Thank you!

The food was exquisite and the service extremely good

I had a chicken phaal. It was indeed extremely hot, but well within my skill. However, I suggest you do not attempt the phaal if you have a weak constitution.

We read all reviews for this & others in Hastings,we are so glad we chose this restaurant,a friendly greeting on arrival & we explained that we are not big eaters,the guy that took our order was so nice & explained about dishes,my Husbands preferred dish is chicken Dhansak,I decided on Chicken Rogan Josh,we didn’t wait too long for our food which was delicious & the Dhansak met with Husbands approval. Very enjoyable indeed thank you Flavours of India

One of the best Indians I've ever had

Budget indian restaurant with banquet night offers a couple of times a week. Average menu at average prices.

Best Indian food around. Staff very attentive. Great 5 course menu for £17.95

Have not been here in years and went with a group of friends but we were very disappointed. Food was bland, service was polite but slow and portions were tiny. Wouldn't return or recommend.

Always an absolute delight, great food and lovely service l cannot think of a reason not to go.

Love this place, staff are so friendly and the food is delicious. My only gripe is that the portion sizes are too small on the set menu. One would expect the bigger container for a main not the small. Would recommend.

Absolutely stunning food and wonderful staff. If you visit Hastings you should not miss this gem

Food arrived early which is the only good news. Fervors of India more like bland not Indian. Food was dry, no spicy at all and chapati was like rubber. Could do better!!!⁶

This was our first visit to Flavours of India. We booked via telephone using buyagift voucher as I was treating my partner for his birthday. The owner lamented his financial difficulties to us when I presented my voucher, saying that buyagift took too much commission and he proceeded to try and convince me not to use the voucher value but instead to deduct what I paid for the voucher off our bill!! This would have meant that I would be paying for items on the bill that should have been included in the voucher! At one point there was shouting and swearing coming from the kitchen as well, the owner left our table quickly and the atmosphere after that was just awful. The food was delicious which was one consolation however I felt uncomfortable and tense and bad for my partner that his birthday experience had been tainted. At the end of our meal we were brought a bill without our voucher deducted and I had to ask a waiter to redo our bill. We were charged for part of our bill that should have been included in our voucher but at this point I didn’t want to make a further fuss and spoil what otherwise was a tasty meal. Sadly, we won’t be returning to this restaurant because of the owner’s greed, dishonesty and lack of hospitality and hosting skills. We were fully entitled to use our voucher and should have been made to feel welcome, comfortable and treated with respect and courtesy, sadly we had a negative and uncomfortable experience. Very disappointing.

I had a lovely meal. The staff are new since my last visit, but they were very good and didn't keep us waiting. My fish thali was delicious! As was my partners goan fish curry. Both meals were perfectly cooked. I wasn't sure about the tuna pakora though. but I will definitely return. thank you!

It's OK. The food was a bit bland. I left feeling like I hadn't really had a curry, which was a bit disappointing.

Great meal,really enjoyable place friendly staff,well worth a visit.

We visited Mother’s Day with the family, service is fantastic! Food is fantastic, I will be back when visiting Hastings

Delivery takeaway ordered on line. Easy to order and a very good choice of dishes. Could have been hotter (temperature). Decent flavours. Fairly priced.

Really good food. Friendly service

This is a special venue for us. We had a wonderful Ruby Wedding anniversary here and this was another special anniversary for us. The restaurant is spacious and the music calming, enhancing the experience. The food is second to none. We had a wonderful tikka meal and the staff were so very helpful and friendly. It was an absolute pleasure to eat here again and I can't recommend it highly enough in terms of ambience, service way beyond anything you will experience anywhere else, and a generally excellent dining experience. The location is central and it is in my opinion the finest Indian dining experience anywhere in town. I would like to thank the Manager and his staff for making the evening so special for us.

Fantastic food fantastic service can't fault anything will definitely go back

I was once bemoaning the lack of good Indian restaurants in Hastings when a friend recommended this restaurant. I was very impressed and now often book this for birthdays etc when I'm visiting my family in Sussex. The food is very good and the service is exceptional. My most recent visit occurred in January to mark a special family anniversary and as the usual the food was superb! We are visiting again next week for my sisters birthday. Would highly recommend!

My favourite, local Indian restaurant just continues to surpass themselves. Yet again this evening, I've had another tailor-made meal with the perfect amount of flavour and spice to suit x

High quality Madras and rich Kurma. Large portions of rice. Great sides. Fast delivery.

Impeccable attention, good food, infinite patience with an active 3 years old boy.

First visit for a few months, but still as good as ever. Food and service are both excellent. In my opinion, the best Indian restaurant in the Hastings area. Well worth a visit if you like Indian food.

Excellent birthday celebration. Delicious, flexible, varied menu at a very reasonable cost. Many thanks.

This is by far the best curry house in Hastings , great food , great service from the owners .

Easily Booked online. Good choice of food on the menu. nice and tasty food. Lovely restaurant, attentive staff. Only disappointments for me was the mango lassi, watery and a bit tasteless. So if I could it would be 4.5 stars

Great place to get some Indian food on a Monday night. Not to busy and good service. I used the toilet 4 times because I had too many drinks before hand, access to the toilets was free, which is nice.

Great staff, great food. Everything was nice and fresh and very tasty. Staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Fantastic! I love this restaurant. So friendly and always a smile especially Manir (not sure about the spelling). Food delicious as always!

Nice food but order was incomplete and not very warm. Not sure I would order again due to this.

Nice food in pleasant surroundings. Helpful and friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Amazing food with friendly service. Defiantly the best India restaurant in Hastings. The only one I would use. Such good flavours and value for money.

After living in Hastings for many years I have at last tried this restaurant. I was not disappointed. Each course was bursting with flavour. I will definitely be back.

Visiting Hastings and we had a takeaway from here for 11 people. Great food reasonably priced.

Really tasty, quality ingredients, good selection of dishes and attentive, thoughtful service. My favourite in the area 👌🤤

Always a lovely curry. Been using these guys for years. Never fail to deliver a beautiful meal. Have tried several others over the years, but none compare ☺️

Great staff, fresh food and cooked perfectly.

Amazing place and grate food. Handled allergies well

Food is always lovely visited and takeaway but had a man take my order over the phone today which was so painful I repeated myself a lot and then when my food came I was missing my popadoms but had all the toppings and sauces then told over the phone I had not ordered them as if I was lying instead of saying, if the delivery driver is going this way I’ll get him to drop some off after a delivery and I’m pretty central to Hastings.

Service was a bit slow , seemed to concentrate more on the delivery side of business.

Just had our first takeaway from here and it was excellent! Slightly hotter than we were expecting (Jalfrezi & Dhansak) but really good, also the nans & rice were great. Having lived near Taunton for a few years where they don't seem to do good curries, this was most enjoyable. Delivery was quick too. Will definitely be ordering again!

Came here with my partner and it was bang on! Really good price and the curry was lovely. Try the naga curry (Zal Zala) if you like a hot curry! Naan was probably the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely go back.

The best curry house in Hastings without doubt. Whether dining in or takeaway, the quality of the food is always consistently high whilst the staff are polite and friendly. The food always tastes fresh and if delivered arrives nice and hot. Their chicken tikka masala is delicious, the onion bhajis are the best I’ve tasted and peshwari naan always fluffy and full of flavour. Poppadoms always come freshly cooked being crispy and not soggy. They also offer a decent variety of vegetarian dishes that aren’t just vegetable curries.

Lovely meal at Flavours of India. Friendly and attentive service. Would easily recommend.

Lovely curry very well cooked and presented. Very friendly staff and generous charming owner. Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍

We ordered a Thali for three as a takeaway birthday treat, the food was amazing probably enough for 4, lovely and hot and very tasty. This is my favourite Indian Restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Odered food here tonight and it was absolutely amazing! It had generous portions and it was also reasonably priced. Will definitely order again and will visit the restaurant once lockdown is over!

Delicious food and friendly service.

Food took over an hour and then wasnt very nice. Resteraunt looks tired and a bit grubby. Service was not great either.

Superb indian food good size portions. Great service if your not sure what to order the staff will explain what is spicy,hot or mild. I love the food at the Flavours of India. One of the best In Sussex. Went there for my birthday meal and they even made me cake with candles on it. A nice touch you can't get better than that. Thank you Flavours of India you are the best.

Nice Indian restaurant in Hastings. Good choice of dishes. I went for the Zal Zaga which was spicy and tasty. Reasonably priced with good service.

I came to eat at this restaurant during the “eat out to help out” scheme. The restaurant was as full as it could be whilst still allowing people to socially distance. Staff were professional and the service was efficient. The selection of food was impressive...
