Hove Tandoori in Brighton and Hove

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!!!!

There was a nice gentleman named Naz who I’ve know for 30 years now. He was recommending us dishes which we tried and were delicious he gave us one of best wine thank you Naz and to your team!

Really nice food, very generous portion sizes and overall average service, some staff seemed distressed which was clear to the customers. Also can get very hot during this time of year as the small top windows don't allow for much of a breeze, overall a good experience and the dishes we had were great (chicken tikka masala, garlic king prawn, rice is good too).

They served us flat warm coke from a cheap already opened bottle from the previous day. The restaurant had only just opened at 5.30pm in the evening and we were the first customers. We physically saw the guy pouring the drinks from tiny bits of leftovers in a bottle. Absolute madness. I felt a type of way to order food after what I received as a drink

The quality of the good was great and the flavour of our curries were delicious. Hadn't been here for years and forgot how good it was. We will definitely return and often. The best curry I've had out in years. The staff were very attentive and polite. Can't wait to return.

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.

We had a fabulous mean again last night, the staff were very attentive and there was a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend it! Thanks Tom and Elaine

The food we had was lovely, the service was decent. Halfway through the meal, we were covered in Mr.Sheen, coughing our guts up, and then we’re told we finished our meal. If you love bleach covered food I’d highly recommend.

Great curry, great service and overall a brilliant night out. Khan was very friendly.

Over all their food were not up to standard and what they are charging for it and very tasteless. I don’t recommend it for anyone.

My fav Indian restaurant of all times. Love this place great atmosphere and the best staff!

Wonderful Experience. Great food. Khan and Naz served us - We are very pleased, tks.

We arrived at 8.35 and asked for a table for 4. We hadn’t booked…there were only 3 tables occupied. The waiter treated us as a complete inconvenience. He was rude and impolite, saying they’d been very busy since 5. We had some poppadoms and asked if we could order a drink, to which he snapped that he had just bought us some chutney!! Oh dear! Rude, aggressive service. We’ve been many times…never again. Oh and ice in a Cobra beer as not cold enough apparently. Great food, dreadful atmosphere.

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 🙏❤️

The curries on this place are just unreal. I've been coming here for years and never disappointed. The chilli paneer is top notch, they also always give you sauces with the meal which is such a nice touch. Portion size is also huge, we can never finish the meal if we order starters so just a main is more than enough. I cannot understand how this place only has 3.9 stars on Google!

Amazing. Best curry I have ever had. Lime pickle must be sent from heaven too, honestly

As is standard with Hove Tandoori, the food arrived very late (1hr late) and was cold and bland. Service on the phone at the restaurant is useless, constantly telling you “the food is on the way and will be with you in 3-5 minutes”.

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.

Busy restaurant with delicious tasty Indian curries. Waiters and other staffs were upto expectations. The place is nice for takeaways also.

First time visiting Hove Tandoori, I would definitely recommend, huge portions and definitely over ordered. Khan yow were amazing, thank you!

Everything was fantastic apart from we asked for a jug of water on arrival and then had to ask another 3 times before we received it, after we had eaten our meal. Otherwise food, service and all fabulous.

As soon I as enter the was a kind young gentleman called Naz I believe he was recommending many dishes to us which we tried they were delicious. He sat us on Table number 7 will definitely be coming back!

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.

Our vegetarian meal was very tasty. The portions were a good size, meal was very reasonably priced. Service was efficient and friendly. Khan was very personable. Would definitely go again

Was disappointed with one or two of the curries spilling over the other food- they blamed it on me when I called to explain how upset I was. Having eaten the food - was further disappointed to experience bad diarrhoea that evening and the following morning. I will not be returning again!

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!

Good food, good and efficient delivery service

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.

Very good restaurant since many years, taste the beer Cobra !

Too small felt rushed Pavel Indian is the best in Brighton 👍

Cold food on arrival, korma sauce was like water, general very poor

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 😡😡😡😡😡

Nice place,good prices, quiet but it was Monday evening. Bet this place is great at weekends.

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.

AVOID! Absolutely revolting, my food was completely inedible

We dined an a Saturday night and we were a party of nine but were sat at at table clearly only capable of accomodating six people , consquently we were all squashed togther and there was not enough space on the tabe for all the plates, dishes, galsses and bottles etc. It took over an hour for the first course to be ordered and arrive at the table. Only eight of the first courses tuned up no doubt due to the waiter commiting orders to memory as opposed to writing the orders down. The ninth first course was so late we said we did not want it, only for it to turn up 20 minutes later, we again declined it but were "forced" to accept it "free of charge" which we did not want to do. On two occaisions I had to clear bottles and glasses from the table and take them to the counter. Generally the service was uncaring, slow, chaotic, confused and unattentantive no doubt in part due to the number of tables crammed into a relatively small space, even the staff were shouting at each other above the general noise level and possibly out of frustration perhaps. The noise level in the restuarant I found unbearable and made conversations at the table difficult, further affected by the phone ringing all night long presumably with take away orders. Added to this there is a constant stream of takeaway delivery operatives entering and leaving the premises, queueing at the counter and bumping into diners and chairs as they pass too and fro form the entrance door. The main course took a long time to arrive with some in our party saying their food was cold, not nice and in one example one received the wrong order but decided to eat it anyway! The bottled beer was not chilled so we had to change to the draft beer. The poppadoms were not crunchy, instead were stale, soft and chewy perhaps due to being made a long time before before being served and left to stand. In all an unpleasant experience one I would not like to and will never repeat at this venue. Our experience was certainly nowhere near the other 5 star review experiences here.

Moved,they came same lovely food service,and although not in restaurant,great atmosphere and friendliness A**********

Great food. Ordered a takeaway and was pleased with the quality. Good portion sizes and excellent naan bread. Professional staff member who took the order too. Would recommend!

First time at this lovely restaurant. Will definitely be returning, food very good staff and atmosphere great.

A little jewel of a place this good food great service and Atmosphere

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Hove and I go there whenever I’m in town visiting my brother. The food is consistently excellent, with some items on the menu that I’ve not found anywhere else. The Hayduri curry is my particular favourite. Service is efficient and friendly but not gushing. I suppose some customers might see this as unfriendly but, if they do, they’re mistaken.

The best curry restaurant in the area

Ordered a delivery. The food clearly was not cooked thoroughly enough as the veg aka onions were hard. Prawns were like bullets. The whole dish was not up to par. This was supposed to come with pilau rice but it was not. The rice was brown (which I didn't order) Plus this was also hard...(not properly cooked) Most disappointed. The delivery was late but to be expected on a busy Saturday evening The individual who delivered was jovial and pleasant but overall not worth the money. I ate some of this meal but ended up scraping most of it into the bin. I don't like leaving a not so good review but unfortunately this was my experience Very bland experience all in all!

Not many better places to get curry delivered from in hove/Brighton

Ruined my wife’s birthday evening. Arrived on Saturday night with the family for a table booked earlier in the week. No record of the booking - whoever took the booking didn’t write it down. Thanks for nothing Hove Tandoori. Won’t gamble on booking a table with you again.

Food in consistently good, staff can't do enough to help. Our favourite every time! The only disappointment is if we can't get a table because of how busy it gets.

Just had a delivery from here. I'm 60 years old and have eaten Indian food many times both take away and eat in. This was absolutely the worst I've ever had. I had chicken Tikka, 4 very small cubes, total rip off. The food was all cold, there was no meat in the keema nan, the rice was terrible, cold and there was a hair in the rice so I did not eat this for fear of food poisoning. Having not eaten from here before, and they generally have good reviews, maybe this was a one-off but I will never order food from here again.

If your delivery driver insists on making a fuss about running back to the car to get me my change, then gives me over £1 in 5p pieces, then running off before I've had chance to count it, discovering she's short-changed me (or stolen from you, whichever you prefer), I'd consider employing a different delivery driver. Makes you wonder if leaving a negative review over this is worth it, really. Just sick of being ripped off.

Delivery took 1 hour, all arrived cold, rang to complain, staff very rude, eventually offered to send another one out but told had to wait another hour, would not recommend terrible customer service and food not great either

I ordered for take away. Delicious food! Dhansak and Tarka daal highly recommended. There are many bad Indian food restaurants in Brighton - this is not one of them!

I dined here on a busy Saturday night with friends. The service was rude and excruciatingly slow from start to finish. The waiting staff seemed to resent having to serve us. Anything which did not have a price tag was too much - water, ice, missing cutlery. We had to ask again and again. When it did arrive the food was very average. My local takeaway is much better. At least with a takeaway you are not asked to leave while there is still wine and food on the table. We were asked to leave to make room for a large booking at 10pm - we had not been warned that there would be another sitting. We offered to move tables but they said we should leave. The waiters then surrounded our table and made us feel very uncomfortable. We left and will not be returning.

The most shocking service I’ve ever experienced in hospitality. Such a shame as the food we ate was exceptional, unfortunately we decided to leave after the starters and cancelled our mains due to the rudeness of a certain staff member - he was rude from the moment we entered and critiqued everything we ordered and made us feel unwelcome.

I’m not sure what has happened but 7-9 years ago I couldn’t fault this place, but now the food is awful. I’ve tried a few times since it went downhill, hoping that each time it was a one off. Obviously, they have lost the chef but also you can tell they are using cheaper inferior vegetables and meats. The dishes are so poor… as a positive a couple of the waiters are very friendly

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Best curry snd starter I’ve had in years. Definitely recommend the king prawn purée and lamb chop starter. The chicken Khorai was delicious. Thank you for great service and food recommendations.

The food itself was amazing. Delicious, I couldn’t have asked for better. What irked me from the point I made my reservation, on the basis of a recommendation from a friend, was that the man who took my call expressed that it was unusual that I would only want a table for one. I can readily think of several reasons why a woman could wish to dine alone but it felt tactless and insensitive for it to be considered unusual and for that to be vocalised. I was not offered another drink on finishing my first and the bill was presented directly after dinner with no offer to see a dessert menu. I was too full as it goes but it would have been nice to have had the option. I’d say service was efficient if a little brusque. I noticed that other guests who’d come with people were warmly welcomed or bid goodbye, I had the door held open for me to leave while the two members of staff carried on a conversation between themselves. I don’t mind being single at all but I don’t think I’ve ever felt as conspicuously alone as I did tonight. A stark contrast to another place on this road I visited on Tuesday which I cant praise highly enough in comparison to the rather chilly hospitality at Hove Tandoori and where I felt moved to leave a 20% tip. Not here though sadly. Single diners beware!

Used only for takeaway but absolutely the best I’ve used in Hove! I think it’s best ordering direct from these guys but it’s up to you.

Dunno what planet the people who are rating this 5 stars are on. Clearly paid reviews or friends. My food was dry and lacking any flavour: however my girlfriend enjoyed her starter. Not worth the steep price. Restaurant had 5 wait staff for a tiny restaurant yet somehow still forgot orders. Super slow service and they lacked any warmth or patience with our group. Just didn't come across like they knew what they were doing. Seems like they spent all the money on the pretty presentation of the place, and short-changed every other aspect of what makes a restaurant experience good. Save your money!

Food ok, service absolutely awful - asked numerous times for water, wine, ice - all super slow to arrive - ordered an 2nd bottle of wine only to be told (after obvs) that they needed the table back in 15 mins…resting on their previous reputation - watch out it’s not going to carry you….we definitely won’t be back.

The food was amazingly flavoursome, fresh and the spicy dishes were fiery. There were options for everyone, from meat eaters to vegans and a wide range. Only criticism is that they were really stretch when we were there, so it was difficult to get a second round of drinks and so on.

I had my favourite chicken dhansak at this lovely restaraunt. I have heard good things about the restaurant and wanted to visit. I would absolutely recommend it the portions were generous. I took some home, which I froze and enjoyed at a later date. The only thing I didn't like was that they asked us if we would like to add a 12% service charge. BUT at least we were asked. We said no and put a cash tip on the table.

Pretty handy for a meal after a day at the cricket! We got there around 1830...earlier than our booking but no problem getting in. Friendly welcome and service...poppadums arrived speedily. Extensive menu with some less common choices...I went for lamb shank balti...very tasty!

We have always been to this restaurant and always get the best waiter you could possibly wish for I believe his name is Naz. He always welcomes us and takes our order he is a positive man with a great atmosphere. The food came out nice hot and we all enjoy as usual.

Don’t go to this restaurant if you’re Bengali or Pakistani, they will give you leftovers. Iv been here twice since moving to brighton. Both times they short changed me, they gave me leftovers. They treat all the whites people with respect and go beyond. It’s not a racist review but I think that’s totally unacceptable. Your own people do this stuff. What a shame!!!

Not as good as it was in the last couple of years but this is just my taste, maybe I just loved the way a previous chef cooked but 100% Still the absolute best Indian food in Brighton & Hove

Sort your billing out. It's impossible to work out how much you spent on drinks. Last time I came we had a bottle of wine added. You can't leave a table of 9 to work out terrible hand written notes

Cheap and cheerful says it all, the bring your own alcohol helps keeps the cost down even lower and no corkage charge, food was ok, not the best I have ever had to be honest

Great food, very wide choice of dishes. It was a party of 10 including 3 vegans, and all were well catered for. We had an amazing variety of dishes, and all of them were so tasty. Cost worked out at around £30 a head including lots of drinks, a starter and mains. Good food and a good night.

Been coming here for years with my dad and the service has always been amazing. They always try their best to get us a table, would recommend this to everyone!! :)

What a fabulous meal we had at Hove Tandoori , the food was delicious! Nothing was to much trouble for them and the restaurant has a modern feel. Special shout out to Raj who helped in choosing the meal to delivering it - well done ! We had a great evening !

...which is not so good if you eat there at a busy time. As per another recent review very preoccupied with a mass of Deliveroo etc orders and a very poor customer experience for us - we paid for the poppadoms and beer and left to eat elsewhere. In fairness I had a very nice curry there the week before on a Monday evening when it was quiet

Lovely food even better service. Best curry house in the Brighton and hove area. Clean facilities and the beer is unreal

Great meal from the house. Janu lead the dinner perfectly. Will come back again, for the 100th time

Ordered a delivery after getting a flyer through the door. After living in Brighton for 3 years and having a few from Deliveroo which have been disappointing (taste/value/getting the order right) we tried Hove Tandoori. Really good! Food was plentiful and tasty, good proportion of chicken/lamb in the dish, a reasonable price for 4 of us, poppadoms came with lime pickle and mango chutneys (both excellent) without asking - Just a really pleasing meal and well worth a go.

Lovely restaurant with lovely people. Janu really looked after us very well. Our dinner was exceptionally delicious. We also didn't feel rushed to vacate our table although there were people waiting. I recommend that you book in advance as even on a Wednesday evening the...

The food was excellent and probably the best I’ve tasted in Brighton. The customer service was excellent from Naz and Sunu who looked after us. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food served and I’ll definitely come again!

Was recommended to me by a friend and can honestly say this is by far the best Indian food we've had in Brighton. What made our dine in even more better was out waiter Florin. He was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back again soon

The food was okay, nothing special. Some of their staff members are crazy rude.

Absolutely amazing food. Vegetables so fresh and varied in a delicious sauce completely different to any other Indian restaurant . Only place I will eat curry from now. Utterly delicious.

Great food and very nice people

Cheap and cheerful says it all, the bring your own alcohol helps keeps the cost down even lower and no corkage charge, food was ok, not the best I have ever had to be honest

Great food and quick service. Excellent menu and attentive staff, special shout out to Sudu. Definitely will be back again!

Lovely restaurant, excellent service by the staff. Food was exceptional and good sized portions.

Awful experience I had for my birthday meal, luckily my company made it ok. Service was disgraceful, guy was extremely miserable & was almost throwing pints of beer down on the table spilling everywhere.. it was as if he was doing us a favour..? Restaurant is more worried about Deliveroo & delivery orders than their own customers who are sat right in front of them! Used to be a good restaurant with a good vibe. I will not be going here again, disgraceful.

I ordered a delivery which said had left but took a further 35 minutes. The food was basic and my worst yet there. I called to give my opinion but they passed me round the houses. Finally someone said I should have called earlier. I am local but will never use Hove Tandoori again. Try Dishoom

A rude waiter, very salty food, noisy and no toilet paper. Not the best experience.

Insulting waiter, salty food and so noisy we couldn't hear each other speak. Will not be going back and would certainly not recommend.

These people don’t know the meaning of customer service. If you are looking for a charming Indian - this is not it. Went here in the last 2 weeks, was appalled at the way in which people spoke to me. The plates were slammed on the table, the dish I had was made with cheap cuts of meat and lacked flavour. Couldn’t and wouldn’t recommend.

Hove Tandoori is an wonderful restaurant with exceptional food. Me and my partner have been there 3 times since living in Hove and love our food everytime. Service is exceptional, with a host and waiters always checking in to make sure we were satisfied. We ordered the cheese, garlic & chilli naan which was loaded with at least 6 chopped fresh chillis. One of the waiters noticed we didn’t sign up for a spicy food challenge and took it off of our bill (the cook ended up putting in more than usual). Highly recommend this spot.

One off the best Indian restaurant i have been to, fantastic services wonderful food an spice was amazing thqnk you boys especially sunu, an the team

In Hove for 1 night. Gave it a go and all was well. Service speedy and friendly and they altered ingredients for one dish with no questions asked. Decor quite gothy but gave the place a nice feel. Loved all the real candles.

We found the service absolutely terrible, no eye contact, no smiles, zero engagement, just appalling. All the staff need to take a trip down to lex’s cafe at the seafront in hove, and observe how to treat your customers….attentive, polite and service with a smile,...
