Have been ordering from Gaanchil for years and never had a problem always lovely food and speedily delivered. Tonight food 40 minutes late, chicken tikka was tasteless , tough and accompanied by raw onions and no salad no mint sauce. The cauliflower bhaji had a watery sauce that tasted of raw spices. When queried where order was told running behind so very disappointing.

Both our favorite Indian restaurant have closed so we gave our most local another go after a poor first experience I must say a great improvement and we have ordered take away 3 more times, each time they have been very good strong flavours and in my case plenty of heat

Normally good curry but tonight was awful …. Very bland and watered down - my bhoona had no potato in and my wife’s Rogan was predominantly tomato and not a lot of chicken and both tasted very similar Very disappointing and probably will not order again Need to find another curry takeaway

This was the worst meal I've ever and NOT what I expected from the photos. Its was tasteless and really NOT EDIDABLE THE WORSE £26.00 I've ever spent on a take-away. IT WAS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. . . . Chicken Baranyi, Sag Aloo, Mushroom Bhaji HOW CAN THIS BE TASTELEES ???

Absolutely spot on. I asked for something extra hot (Carolina reaper hot, the chef went above and beyond ti make it incredibly flavorable without the need to make it too thick like most would. The rest of the order was also incredibly flavorable. This is my go to place for top quality Indian food. Customer service is also fantastic.

if you are staying at Copthorne hotel and want a takewaway without having to drive 20 minutes, then I recommend the Gaangchil. Nothing fancy about the place but the food is really good. Freshly ground spices, very nice fresh-tasting sauce. Reasonable prices. It's really worth a try. And while you're there, there is also a Spar supermarket where you can pick up any extra snacks you may need.

Awful service tonight. After being a loyal customer for many years it took 3.45 hours to deliver and some of our order missing. Called many times to finally be told they had sold out of food but still took our money and promised they would deliver but after 4.5 hours they finally admitted they didn’t have some of our order but no offer of refund at all. We will not be using them again. Really poor customer service and ruined our NYE

I previously reviewed Gaangchil at the start of lockdown when it provided local access to great curry on several occasions.Then along came “Eat out to help out” and we ventured out to support other local restaurants. With the end of this initiative we decided to order from Gaangchil on Saturday. We placed our order on the website at 6:00pm with delivery time showing as 55 min. Food delivered at 7:05, neatly packed, hot and without spillage.To relieve the tedium of lockdown and satisfy the need for an Indian we decided to give Gaangchil a try on Saturday as it is very local and none of our usual favourites would deliver to our address. If you order regularly the website has facility to repeat a previous order with any desired omissions or additions.We went with our staple of vegetable pakora, chicken madras, mushroom bhaji, boiled rice and nan bread. The delivered meal was of the same high standard as previously and was could not be faulted.As before portions were large, but as food was delicious this was not a problem. For smaller appetites this order could easily have served two people.When we ordered the time for the collection option was 35 min with a 10% discount. I may try this in the near future as we will continue to use this excellent local business. Being super critical the only niggle was the track order option on the website which does not update and still showed our meal as “cooking” even when we were sitting down to eat.

To relieve the tedium of lockdown and satisfy the need for an Indian we decided to give Gaangchil a try on Saturday as it is very local and none of our usual favourites would deliver to our address. What a find. We ordered at 5:30 and a delivery time of 6:15 was given. 30 minutes later a smiling gent delivered our order, brilliant, we have waited longer in a restaurant on many occasions. Ordering and paying online was straight forward and the opportunity to change delivery times was givenFood when it arrived was hot and well packed with no spillages. We ordered vegetarian mixed veg pakora for starters. Absolute perfection, and the mint sauce was good too. Would order again just for the pakora.I went with my usual chicken madras, mushroom bhaji, boiled rice and nan bread. Chicken was tender and moist and curry sauce was plentiful and well spiced. If anything, the sauce was thinner than I would expect, but plentiful. There was no excess fat or oil on it. Mushroom bhaji was excellent and mushrooms looked hand chopped. Rice was nicely cooked and separated easily when removed from the container. Nan was nicely cooked with great texture and again was not covered in ghee.Portions were large, but as food was delicious this was not a problem. For smaller appetites this order could easily have served two people.Meal cost was approximately £20 which is higher than other local takeaways, but as it included a very prompt free delivery it represented great value in the present circumstances.Having discovered this gem just a few hundred yards up the road we will definitely be using again long after lockdown ends and normality returns

Having been disappointed several weeks running with ordering our Saturday night takeaway.Understandable the restaurants are facing difficulties with less staff etc .We decided to order from this takeaway.

I ordered a curry from here to be delivered to an airport hotel at which we were staying at prior to an early morning flight. It arrived with no problems.. we didn't have to wait in reception as the driver called us to say he was on his way. We collected from the door and it was one of the most delicious pathias i have ever had. Had the correct balance of sweetness to sour, accompanied with perfect pilau rice and garlic naan, we gollopped the lot. Will deffo use again whilst in Gatwick. Thankyou.

I have ordered food from here previously and whilst it took a while to be delivered it was fantastic, hence we ordered again. Once again, the food was great but also once again it took a while to be delivered, this time 30 minutes longer than we were told! The delivery guy pretty much handed the bag over and vanished, in hindsight I now know why! Having placed the bag onto my kitchen worktop and looking into it I noticed a lot of sauce slopped around the top of the containers and the bag was heavily soiled with it, on picking the bag back up the containers started falling through the bottom and I then noticed the mess it had left on my work top, thankfully after using a lot of cleaning products the staining has pretty much gone. Needless to say I telephoned and explained the above, I also explained that I had a really nice meal and the main reason for ringing was to let them know about the delivery as I would hate for that sort of service to affect them when the food itself had been so good, I said I had photos and could email them which I did, it’s been nearly a week and a half since I did that, not heard a peep from them from which I can only conclude they aren’t actually that bothered which is a shame as off the back of that I won’t be using them again, fantastic food, shame about the service....and just to say the man I spoke to started by saying about doing something for me with my next order, which I replied I wasn’t after anything, just letting them know as wouldn’t want the delivery to affect negatively given how good the food was....whilst the delay and delivery problems were not acceptable this doesn’t take away from the fact that the food itself was very tasty and for that reason I give 4 stars...

I was looking for an Indian meal while partying with friends. We found Gaangchil on our way. We stopped for dinner but found this is a takeaway on the road side. However, we ordered food, and that was very tasty and very authentic to us. While waiting, we managed to have a word with the chef. He is an experienced guy and won some curry awards in his long career. A master who efficiently melted the Indian spices in British taste bud. We ordered some take away for BBQ as well, and management served us with a big smile. Only parking was a little bit lucky on that busy road!

We use this take away at least once a month. The flavour of the curries are great. The real depth of flavour encourages you to try different curries. You can order using their online system which is ace. It also offers you to choose different heat levels to your curry. They also have a loyalty card. My only criticism is that the different chefs have different id as of heat. However the chefs that are on Friday and Saturday bare very consistent. Fair prices and quick to deliver.

Please don't be mislead by my title, I've had many takeaways from Gaangchil and they have all been excellent. Indian food over the past 20 years seems to be trying to be something it is not with restaurants trying to out do each other with the latest wildest new creation. The chef at Gaanchil seems to be able to cook the food that we all fell in love with many years ago. My only criticism is the chicken they use, they need to address this as its a poor ingredient in otherwise great food.

Me and my brother fancied a quick take away, so we decided to try this as it has a good rating on Trip AdvisorWhen we arrived the owners family were lounging around the customer waiting area dressed in their traditional Islamic hijab dress.I thought we may get authentic Pakistani or Bangladeshi cuisine The curry was tasteless and there was a strange after taste. Each mouthful made me feel uncomfortable. There was something wrong with the curry, I can't put my finger on it but there was a funny smellThe rice was not great and the meat tough.If this is authentic Pakistani or Bangladeshi food I will not be visiting either country I think in future stick I will stick with authentic Indian cuisine like the Downsman or Greyhound.

This take away has gone seriously downhill since it opened. At first, the food was excellent, now the portions have become smaller, and on a recent visit, there was very little meat in the curry. The lamb was in very small chunks, and very little of it. We did complain, because it was so bad, but unfortunately the replacement was just as poor. Will definitely not be using again. Sorry, but you have to provide far better food than this,

We have been having food delivered since this place first opened and can say in the beginning the food was excellent and the portion sizes were also good.The last few times we have had food we have been disappointed at the portion sizes which have reduced considerably so no longer feel that they provide value for money.I have left feedback direct on the online website feedback form but have never heard back from them, why bother asking for feedback if you never respond to complaints?Tonight we ordered a chicken tikka masala which was really watery and more like thin soup than a sauce.The bits of chicken have reduced in size in comparison to other local takeaway restaurants so whilst I always prefer to shop local and this place is less than half a mile away I will in future be using a different takeaway restaurant.All in all a real shame as I will also not recommend this place to my friends and family who also live locally

Excellent meal - best we have had since moving out of London ; ) So delighted to have discovered such a GREAT takeaway. Fresh, subtle, perfectly spicy. We had the Goanese Chingrhi, Paneer Jalfrezi and the Goanese Sabjhi along with the softest most succulent Peshwari Naan. Even the boiled rice was perfectly light and fluffy. Feel great afterwards too - not stuffed full of grease, just sort of alive with spices! We'll definitely order again and hope the rest of the menu is as good as our first experience. Thanks, Gaangchill!

We have had food from here a few times and never had any problems. But last night, although our takeaway was delicious at the time, it caused both my husband and I severe cramping and diarrhea the following day. I expect it will continue tomorrow. My sister, who is vegetarian, was fine- it only affected the two of us who ate meat. (chicken and lamb). The food was consumed immediately after purchasing, and all leftovers were discarded. We are certain the poisoning was caused by this takeaway. As you might imagine we are extremely disappointed and will never be using this restaurant again.

Used this place quite a few times now. Over all of those visits, the food has been consistently prepared, and very tasty. Staff are friendly, and deliveries to the local area are welcomed and have arrived on time no problem. Overall, I really like the food hence the reason for returning.Only small thing that could do with some work, is the online ordering system which is very hit and miss, so I avoid using that. It often fails, or leaves you wondering if the order has gone through. I have spoken to them, and they are resolving that at the moment though.Will use again......

I ordered a meal from Gaangchil last week and it was the best Indian food that I've had in a long time. The flavours, aromas and textures from each dish was of very standard, and the portions were generous - which made the prices set, value for money! I would go as far as to say that the food was of restaurant standard and that I will definitely be making this my 'local' for Indian Food!Well done Gaangchil - keep up the good work!

Ordered online, had to use tablet as the website doesn't work on a smart phone properly. Placed comment in the comments section that says that I wanted to collect at 7:20pm, this was about 45 minutes away. I tried to call both of the phone numbers to make sure that they have got the request as it said automatically that my order will be ready in 25 minutes. I tried both phone lines and one was constantly engaged and the other just rang out. I turned up at 7:25pm to collect the order, had to wait for ages while the guy was on the phone taking another order, and then someone just walked in behind me and was then served in front of me and given his order. When I said my name the guy looked at the order and then at the clock and I said "I didn't know if you got the message about the collection time" (I could see it clearly on the bottom of the order in front of him). He just sort of smiled and ignored me. Went out the back to get the food and I paid and left. Forgetting the golden rule of - ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER - Got home and one of the curry's was missing. I tried to call but had the same problem as before, couldn't get an answer! Even better, as they clearly hadn't read my message the food was ready a good 20 minutes before I asked for it to be so that the food was lukewarm at best. I have only given them 2 stars as they had a good idea of putting labels on the food cartons so that you can easily see what is what. The food that I did eat wasn't too bad, this place could be great if they just get better at actually worrying about the people paying.

We tried this takeaway for the first time and we're glad we did. They were efficient and good value and the food was extremely tasty. We had Lamb Palak which was completely delicious, Chicken Tikka Masala which was tasty and Goanese Chicken which definitely lived up to the description 'fairly hot'!Alongside our mains we had Saag Aloo and Tadka Daal and a Peshwari naan - all lovely, and delivered hot and on time.

This is one of the best if not THE best curry! Love it! Order from here regularly and can't beat it - favourite is the Palek chicken. Will be back ;0)

Wow what a find. With literally dozens of Indian takeaways in Crawley it takes a small place in Copthorne to show them all how it's done. Ok we had to wait almost an hour (peak time Saturday eve) but absolutely worth it. Every dish was fresh restaurant quality. Unlike the Crawley efforts (mainly out of a jar I suspect, sometimes) this was absolutely delicious. Prices less than expected. You really have to try this place and you will never order from Crawley again.

Saw the good reviews and thought we'd try a takeaway. The Madras was like soup, very salty and not particularly (spicy) hot, naan bread was a little cold and soggy, and the poppadums were very greasy and had a strange taste/texture. Perhaps we chose a bad night but certainly won't be coming back. That said, the service was fine as was the rice.

We were very impressed with the quality of the ingredients (especially meat). The menu is pretty extensive with a lot of dishes we hadn't come across before.All the food we had was beautifully cooked and we really enjoyed it all. We are already looking forward to our next meal!They do a good offer on a meal for two from Mon-Wed and even give you a loyalty card!

Had a nice take away from here. Naan bread was a little cold but the food was pretty good. The korma was full of flavour and the biryiani moist and meat tender. Will be getting some more take away from here.

It was my boyfriends birthday, decided to order a curry, living in pease pottage not many people deliver. Once I had given my order the person working there said I need to check with the manager. He did say this would be to far to deliver to, but he would on this occassion. Im so glad they did, it was the best take away we have had. It was still hot and tasted amazing, its just ashame we live to far to have it delivered

Ordered a takeaway for the first time and it certainly won't be the last. The service was great, delivery time exactly as stated, and was hot when it arrived. It all tasted superb and had none of the awful colours found in some takeaway foods. Highly recommended

We ordered from Gaangchil for the first time last night and the food was amazing. We ordered a variety of dishes and all of them were delicious. Will definitely be ordering again in the future. Thanks Gaangchil!

Friday night take away for 6 - food was excellent as was the service. They said 30 mins and it was 30 mins - all dishes as expected and they gave us some extra sauce too! Recommended.

We collected our first Takeaway from Gaangchil yesterday evening, and it certainly will not be our last. Having tried many other local establishments with much disappointment our expectations were by far exceeded. All of the dishes were piping hot and very flavoursome. 5*****s

Was looking forward to trying this takeaway after reading the reviews. Food was delivered quickly which was great. On opening the containers found the starters - mixed starter was cold. The main course dishes goanese chicken and prawn patia were very oily. The mushroom rice was stodgy and overall the meal was below a reasonable standard. Very disappointed after spending out £30 for this food

Ive tried several take away curry houses from turners hill, crawley and east grinstead but this one is by far the best. it was delivered promptly and was very hot (as it is so near to crawley down). A good menu and really tasty. I will go as far to say this is my new local indian take away. I look forward to ordering again. At last a take away that doesnt have to travel miles to get to me.

First time ordering from Gangchil and I have to say I am very impressed. Food delivered within 30 minutes of ordering online. Food was excellent, by far the best takeaway around from my point of view. Will definitely order again.

This small outlet produces great curries that taste of fresh spices and not the standard stock of pre made sauces most curry houses seem to use. I guess Gaangchil also use sauces to produce the food as quick as they do but I can only think that the ingredients are freshly ground and properly cooked.

The food here I have generally always thought of as a better quality than any other local Thai restaurants which I accepted the higher prices for. Having spent two years living in Thailand eating only Thai cuisine, and being able to speak some of the language also, I was unfortunately disappointed in the lack of 'dining out' experience we had here. Not even a single candle or a flower at the tables, they were literally bare. No authentic decor or staff uniform etc. There was a portable gas fire in the middle of the restaurant for heating which didn't help the overall ambience; it just felt much more geared up to being a takeaway venue with a few tables for good measure than a lovely restaurant experience. The same food in a different environment would have tasted much better I'm sure!
