Just awful, arived cold . I think the free salad was the best part of my meal and popedom was also ok, but the starter mix meat dish, black bean Dhal and fried bread was just awful. Dhal was bulked up with tomatoes and watery with very little beans or Dhal. Skuerd meat was as dry as leather. I don't like to write negative reviews but I felt I can't let this pass without comment

Had an amazing meal at Hove Tandoori! I started with the lamb chops and king prawns – both were incredibly tasty and fresh, cooked to perfection. For the main, I went for the garlic chicken tikka balti and it was bursting with flavour – easily one of the best I’ve had. Big shout out to Janu who looked after us so well – fantastic service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

I recently dined at Hove Tandoori, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The food was outstanding—each dish was bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection, and offered a true taste of authentic Indian cuisine. The service was just as impressive; the staff was quick, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. A special mention to Khan and Naz, who went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and satisfied. They were not only friendly but also incredibly helpful with any request we had. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food and excellent service!

A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience at Hove Tandoori! My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of dining at Hove Tandoori, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared. We couldn't stop talking about how fresh and well-seasoned everything was. A special shout-out to our fantastic waiters, Nas and Kan, who made our experience even more memorable. They were attentive, friendly, and really went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The entire team made us feel like VIPs, and their professionalism added to the overall excellent service. I highly recommend Hove Tandoori to anyone looking for great food, exceptional service, and a vibrant atmosphere. This place is a true gem, and we’ll definitely be back!

A supreme experience at Hove Tandoori. Myself and nine friends came for a celebratory meal. The food was off the scale good and the service prompt and with kindness. Khan served us with friendliness and a smile. We appreciated the entirety of the evening. Thoroughly recommended. The food was utterly sublime. Five stars all night long. Thanks Hove Tandoori from Tom and friends..

We checked online and on their website if they were open for lunch - both said they were. We arrive with a friend who we had pushed in his wheelchair. The manager said they were shut, was very abrupt and unapologetic. No chance of another visit owing to the manager's rudeness. = [UPDATE] Hove Tandoori have replied to my review. There was no mention of Eid when we arrived. They simply said the chef had not shown up. Regardless, the manager was rude.

I do not understand why this place has such bad reviews. The food is absolutely spectacular and in very large amounts for the price. The menu is very extensive and I don’t think there is anything food wise that disappoints. The only thing I can comment on is about hospitality. The waiters greeting style was quite rude - we felt a bit unwanted, but later on he tried to initiate a friendlier approach. Nevertheless, perhaps a bit of a kinder manner of the staff would make this place perfect.

Going out for dinner is so much more than food potentially arriving at some point. The food was nice when it did arrive, but that was nearly two hours into being there; starters mains and everything all at once. There was no acknowledgement, apology, or anything when we tried (more than once) to flag/chase that we seemed to have been forgotten. We had tables come in, order, eat, pay and leave around us, so it was clear something had gone wrong at our table. It was such a shame, as the delays and lack of customer service surrounding them did make this a negative experience overall, and overshadowed the food itself.

The food was decent enough the let down was the service and being rushed out. Service: had to request a plate change as provided a dirty plate. Getting an additional drink was difficult no eye contact or check ins. Once the food was finished the service ramped up plates cleared immediately and the bill arrived without asking. I still had a pint and we were not asked about any additions after our main. Wouldn't return seems like they know their regulars and aren't to fussed about other bookings.

Not a pleasant experience overall. We actually originally wanted to go the Indian across the road but they were fully booked, so we settled here. When we arrived it was relatively quiet (530pm on a Saturday) and we sat in the corner of the restaurant. Within 5 minutes of receiving the menu, we were asked if we wanted to place our order 3 times by 2 different waiters. They were hanging around us a lot and I felt like they wanted us as an “in and out service”, even though it was quiet. Anyways, we ordered shortly afterwards and it was all fine. Food came, it was also fine, nothing to go crazy about. They did get one of our orders wrong and once I commented, it was quickly resolved within 5 minutes. Half way through our dinner it just got very busy, and very loud. Once we finished we had a 45 minute wait to have the table cleared and ask for the bill. We had to ask 4 times before finally getting seen to. Maybe they were understaffed when it was busy hence the huge delay in trying to settle up. However, that doesn’t excuse the “pushy” service when we first sat down. Overall, it was fine to go to and food was fine, but I can’t think of a single reason to come back. Next time I’ll book the place across the road.

A must-try if you’re a fan of delicious Indian cuisine!! Have visited twice now to dine in but have ordered many take away curries from here in the past. Hove Tandoori is cosy, welcoming and has a great atmosphere. We were looked after by Khan, who was very attentive. The food here is just amazing - fresh, well presented, and all bursting with flavour. We started with pappadums, dips, and onion bhajis. The bhajis came beautifully presented; even the garnishing salad was well constructed, with fresh pomegranate seeds and a balanced dressing. The curries are the star of the show here. Generous portions (we took almost half of our meal home!!) and all so perfectly cooked. My ceylon chicken curry was so light and fragrant, I honestly couldn’t fault it. I also tried the garlic chilli chicken masala and the vegetable garlic curry - both were excellent. The rice was flavourful and fluffy with sauteéd onions throughout (really good even on its own!!). If you’re a fan of naans, definitely try the garlic naan here - it’s the best I’ve tried in Brighton & Hove!! Thanks Hove Tandoori for a special meal! We’ll be back 😇✨

I never leave bad reviews but unless you want a mouth full of salt don’t buy from here. 2 take aways. Complained about the first one and got a small credit, used again tonight and still so full of salt. They won’t offer a refund as paid by cash on delivery. It’s so salty my mouth is burning through the salt. Please reduce the salt you put in your food unless you want your customers to have a heart attack!! Seriously, inedible because it’s so incredibly salty.

Used the Hove Tandoori a few years back both for a sit down and as a local takeaway when lived in the area, now live just outside the town 2.5m away and this week they dropped a flyer through the door! Do not order takeaways as they are mostly disappointing a low quality but fancied a lazy night so ordered from Hove Tandoori! Just thrown it all away delivered cold but could be warmed through, but that was just the start! Mushroom Balti, tasteless and bland sealed mushroom like out of a jar and no flavour in a thick sauce or anything else to note! Chicken Tikka Masala sauce okay but chicken was tough and chewy and massive chunks just inedible! Bombay Aloo dry and menial and ordered pilau rice, gees it was disgusting, congealed, cold stuck in lumps and tasted of white wine vinegar really disgusting and weird but majorly off putting! Popadoms smashed into a thousand pieces yellow mint sauce was orange and again had an off taste all in all horrible experience NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! AVOID!!!!

I came here with my friends for dinner and from the start one waiter seemed to be reluctant to serve us from the get go. He asked me to move as i was putting my bag down to sit and once we finished eating he rudely took our plates before we could say anything. At the end we also asked to put some of the food in a takeaway container which he first put in the box before throwing the lid and the bag on the table and telling my friend to relax when she asked for another one. While we were sitting after paying our bill and finishing our drinks at around 21:30 (another table had just come in to eat) the waiter then told us they were all waiting for us to leave. I asked him again if we were the last ones and he said yes, we then asked another waiter and he said we were more than welcome to stay for more drinks and to take our time but at this point we felt uncomfortable and left. The rest of the team was amazing and very welcoming as well as the food being incredible but it’s true one waiter can ruin the whole experience.

Hove tandoori... they'll never make me hate you! This is my usual curry house and it hits the spot. Every. Single. Time. I've never been disappointed by the food. My typical choices are the Lamb Achari and Chili Paneer. Unlike a lot of *ahem* curry places, they don't skirt on the amount of Paneer. Hove tandoori is a generous father. Typically spend just under £25 for 2 people which enables my boyfriend to fulfill his relationship duties even when we're paying out the joint account. Well done Hove Tandoori, look what good you're doing in the community. Service is always excellent, only downside is they take a while to bring you your cheque at the end. Thank you hove tandoori you have served me well over the years and I think you deserve more than a 3.9 you are at least 4.1 🙏❤️

This restaurant has massively let itself down due to the service and waiters. One waiter snatched the menu out of my wife's hand to query an order, and rolled his eyes at me when I ordered a water. We had to wait a very long time for extra drinks we ordered and had to remind the waiters multiple times. Then to top it off when the food was taken away I left a large amount of naan bread and the waiter literally turned his back and put our food on another table and then started eating it in front of us! To say we were disgusted is an understatement! Real shame as the food was actually really nice, but our experience completely ruined by the service and rudeness of multiple staff members.

We’ve been going to, and ordering food from, Hove Tandoori for nearly as long as we’ve lived in Hove which is decades ;) Whenever anyone visits us - and they really appreciate a good curry - this place far outstrips all the others we’ve tried and there have been many! To eat in, the atmosphere is unique, soft unobtrusive Indian music and waiters who are efficient, attentive and friendly. They have an air of confidence in the food they serve and swiftly notice if you need a top up (draught or bottled beer) and check to see if the food’s ok. We wildly over ordered -prawn Buhna, Lamb dansak (delicious) Green Chicken Tikka masala, black daal Mekani, sag aloo, and motar paneer - popadoms and relish appear magically within moments of being seated and our guests were as delighted as we were by the variety of flavours and size of the portions! They parcelled up what we couldn’t manage beautifully so that’s tonight’s dinner sorted as well ;) I’ve pretty much given up doing curry at home as I just can’t match the spicing they achieve and I’m not a bad cook! ;) Highly recommended, needless to say we’ll be back soon.

I recently had a terrible experience with Hove Tandoori. I placed an order that never showed up, and dealing with it has been a nightmare. First off, after waiting way too long for my food, I tried contacting Hove Tandoori directly. I called multiple times, and they never picked up. When I finally got through to Deliveroo’s customer support, they were rude, lazy, and unhelpful, insisting I contact the restaurant directly. Hours later, close to 1 AM, a manager from Deliveroo finally responded but didn’t help much. They said they couldn’t refund me and told me to leave feedback for Hove Tandoori. That’s just not good enough. The next day, I called Hove Tandoori again. They claimed the delivery was made and that I never called them, which is a lie because I called several times. They told me to sort it out with Deliveroo. Thankfully, Deliveroo eventually issued a refund, but the experience with Hove Tandoori was awful. They showed no accountability, their customer service is terrible, and they couldn’t solve a simple issue. I wouldn’t recommend ordering from Hove Tandoori. Their service is unreliable, and their support is awful. This experience has made me lose trust in them completely.

Although the food was ok, our overall experience was not. The staff were very noisy so it wasn't a very relaxing atmosphere. One staff member banged into my husband and didn't even apologise. I had a pint of lime and soda which was flat but I didn't feel I could raise this as I had already asked for some more lime cordial and some ice. When we came to pay, they charged £4.60 for the lime and soda which we queried. They took £1.10 off of this which quite frankly is insulting. Sorry to go on but this is the first time we have been here and it will definitely be the last. I think there needs to be a lot of staff training!

It would most certainly be 5. The restaurant and service was first class. The restaurant is very clean and well presented. Very enjoyable even if I was alone.

75 minutes from order to delivery seems a long wait when order placed at 6.30 pm on a Sunday. Tasty food but bag dripping with oil escaping from the butter chicken and possibly other dishes too.

We went for an evening meal & booked a table for 6pm (due to husband working early the next morning). On arrival felt uncomfortable as being watched continuously by several waiters standing around. I had not even finished my poppadom & the waiter wanted to take this away. We ordered drinks, then a starter to share & each a main course. The starter arrived plus the main meal all together. I told them I would have liked my starter first, followed my my main meal (the waiter just looked at me & walked off). So we eat our meal. Then at 7pm whilst other customers were arriving for their meal my husband heard 2 of the waiters who were in front of our table discussing us. One waiter with an ear piece told his colleague that "they need to go". So we paid our bill & left feeling rather hurried & rushed. So sorry we will not be returning after many years of enjoying this restaurant. No customer service.

What can I say!!! Booked the table for 6 o’clock as I needed to be up at 4 the next morning, on ordering everything seemed fine, we decided to share a starter as we wanted to enjoy our mains. Well the starter arrived with the mains and when my wife said we want the starter first then the mains they looked at her if she was from mars and walked off!!! So there we were with a starter and mains, so we carried on enjoyed the starter and mains, but they were watching us like hawks the whole time. Once we had finished I was enjoying my drink until I heard the main waiter with an ear piece in saying to another waiter they need to go we need the table!!! This was 7 o’clock we booked for 6 o’clock. How the hell can you enjoy a meal out and a couple of drinks in an hour. I used to love this place. But no more awful staff, might have well have gone to KFC. If your evening service starts at 7 o’clock don’t let people book for 6 o’clock Rude and very over rated 😡😡😡😡😡

Did not find the food quality that great, naans were left too long out before serving hence dried out, does not serve Indian drinks like lassi, took over 20 min to bring the bill, despite asking to pack unfinished two half curries, food was taken off the table, constant disturbance of takeaway calls, delivery drivers march, felt the dinner experience was very poor, I must say there are Bengali restaurants and there are Indian restaurants and clearly difference in taste

Went here for dinner the other night. Started off well with having proper condiments (real mango chutney as opposed to the pureed stuff you get in other places) for the papadums. But that's where it peaked. Taking orders was a chore and food took ages to come out. When it came out, some of it wasn't hot anymore, chicken dry and the sauces of some of the curries had clearly been watered down (you could see the oil of the curry separating from the added water). Plates for the mains were cold and paratha left much to be desired. Muttar paneer and keema naan were the only good dishes (out of the 8 we ordered). When it came to paying, we had to ask for the bill twice and waited over ten minutes to pay. I instead went up to the counter and was met with frosty attitude, seemingly because I'd gotten impatient with waiting and came up to the counter to pay. No follow up questions with "how was your meal" etc, just interested in taking the money. They had lots of waiters working that night, so wasn't sure why things were a bit chaotic. But on coming up to the counter it was evident why service was slow and disjointed. The uber eats/deliveroo machine was churning out orders and staff seemed more focused on prepping these and getting these sent out as opposed to serving customers in the restaurant. Disappointing meal and not worth the money we paid. Music kept cutting in and out and didn't make for the most authentic atmosphere. Better off going to madrasi's across the road - their food is excellent!

Awful restaurant, popadoms we’re thrown at us & we didn’t even order them. We had to remind the staff we were two dishes short, when they arrived they were cold & tasteless. Luckily the wine was Ok!

Have been going to hove tandoori for over 25 years and have never been disappointed. Service is excellent as well as the food. Very reasonable priced as well

Very disappointing. Food was an hour late, lukewarm, not cooked thoroughly, just tasted spicy and salty without any real flavour, the tarka dahl had a burned taste and was far too oily. When we phoned to ask where our order was we got hung up on several times. I’m sure it was busy as it was Easter Saturday but a lot of these issues have nothing to do with that.

I’ve used Hove Tandoori mostly for takeouts for over 30 years and it’s always been consistently good. We are really lucky to have such a great Indian family run restaurant on our doorstep. The food is top quality and I’m always surprised how reasonably priced it is. There’s a lot of choice in Brighton & Hove but this always comes Top. 5 Stars all round.

Worst chicken tikka masala I've ever had!! The gravy tasted like coconut and nothing like tikka masala. This is definitely not Indian food!
