Moon Of India in Lewes

Excellent food. Reasonable prices. Unhurried service.

Ordered takeaway to be delivered, food arrived spot on time - nice and hot and very tasty! One of the best curries I have had for a long time. Would recommend Moon of India as a place to go to get a quality fresh curry for a very reasonable price.

Best chicken biriyani ever i had. I would like to go again.😍

Ordered online for collection got home the order was wrong. Thought oh well still eat it. Chicken was dry. Rice was dry, keema naan had hardly any keema. No flavor to the potatoes. Services was good very friendly just tasteless food.

Lovely meal here Sunday night although it was quiet in there the food was lovely would recommend a visit.

I highly recommend Moon of India Restaurant ★★★★★ very friendly staff ★★★★★ good Sevice★★★★★ relaxing Atmosphere ★★★★★ dine in or order a takeaway. Described friendly unfortunately you can't park outside but you can nominally find parking down a side road !!

It was the worse Indian food I had all my life. I normally do not write reviews but it was so bad that I had to share. Unfortunately we ordered for take away so we could not return the dishes, we barely ate the food. I order a veg masala curry that I do not know how on earth they think it was masala curry, the rice was bad cooked and my friend ordered a chicken curry that the sauce was all watery. Last place to get a good meal from

Got to say the honey chicken dish from the chefs specials menu was amazing. Perfect flavours and just one of the best I've had in a long time from Indian restaurants.

This place has gone so far downhill that it's gone out of sight. It was once a fairly good quality eatery but wild horses wouldn't be able to get me back in there. The food that I've been served the last couple of times I've been has been very poor quality to say the least. I won't be going there again.

I got a takeaway from here and although it was tasty, it was very dry. I got the honey chicken and coconut rice and both the rice and chicken were dry, which was a shame. Delivery was also very slow and late from the expected delivery time, which was also a little surprising since it was a Tuesday evening.

What a gem of a place. It was very late and we really didn't expect them to be open. But we were greeted warmly and given a wonderful meal. I can see why they are celebrating their 45th year in business.

It was amazing, I think Moon Of India is a best restaurant at Seaford.Specially, their two employee,One of the mr. Yasin and rest of one mrs. Happy both are very outstanding and excellent service provider.Their Table arrangement was remarkable and nicely decorated.

We came back within a week because the food really tasted excellent. Maybe next time there will be a mango lassie in addition to excellent Indian beer? Then it would be perfect :)

The garlic chilli chicken was tasteless,very disappointing as I’ve had so much better but decided to try here instead of cooking my own! Won’t bother again as tasted liked watered down stew with added spice ! Sorry but worst curry I’ve ever had!

The smallest of the three Indian restaurants in Seaford and also the most expensive. Food is good and service is attentive.

The food is always excellent and good value. However sometimes the service is less than perfect. The attention to customers sometimes lacks conviction. As in, you don't feel valued as a customer. Which is a vital part of enjoying the experience.

Spent over £60.00 here tonight what a pile of crap. All the side dishes were cold the sauce had leaked out of 1 of the main meals. Phoned to complain spoke to me like I was lying, then said give us your number we will get manager to call you back STILL WAITING

Always good as ever .so attentive

Ordered a home delivery tonight for the ist time ,from Moon of India and it will be the last time! This was the worse indian meal we have ever tasted ( and we have had many). The prawn kurma was basically hard pieces of prawns in coconut milk. The chicken tikka massalla and the sag aloo had absolutely no flavour. What a waste of £30. If we had been eating in, we would have sent it all back! Never again!

Had a lamb tikka masala curry with rice and could not eat a single piece of meat as it was so tough could not even pierce it with a fork.

takeaway consistently good quality but usually have to wait a while when you go to collect

The best chicken tika danzak in the area very friendly and efficient staff

Dining at the Moon of India was a very enjoyable experience

Bro its Bangladeshi restaurant and they have a poster of 43 years of experience i.e. established in 1978. We freed them in 1971, so if you want to be part of India then use our name otherwise get lost , place sucks

I’m staying here from London and I am used to ordering from places like Dishoom etc. Last night I ordered from this restaurant because I finished work late and it was delicious. I had peshwari naan. Poppadoms, honey chicken (loved it), mushroom rice, Bombay potatoes and banana bhaji. I spent £32 and it did me for lunch today also. It was light, not greasy, delicious, not over salted and delivered promptly. Thank you 😊

We took our neighbours who have just recently moved down from London to seaford and wanted to know a good curry restaurant so we took them to the moon of India and it was really amazing full of flavour staff friendly highly recommend this restaurant.

One of the staff was so rude and showed attitude for no reason. He asked me too many personal questions which I found so offensive. Also at that moment, he told me if you don't find anything I can go to another restaurant. Waste of money.

Takeaway - dry chicken in both dishes. Chicken dansak and chicken jalfrezi. Chicken jalfrezi was in a sloppy insipid tomato sauce which was not eaten. 1 of the naan breads was burnt and inedible. Shame food was taken home as if was closer would have taken back.

It’s not an Indian restaurant firstly, it’s run by other country fellows with worst quality and taste, the staff isn’t friendly and I found it very embarrassing

Service and staff could be fixed please, food quality is average

Rang for a delivery, The guy wanted to charge me £3 extra because I did not order through the website, at this point I should have trusted my gut instinct and not ordered. He then said ok no delivery charge, even though it says orders over £20 free delivery. Arrived within an hour, as promised. The curry itself was a medium chicken curry & mushroom rice. The curry was watery flavorless. Th rice tasted burnt. Do your self a favor and dont order you curry here, really terrible.

Bloody awful.... Chicken was tough and tasteless. The online system of ordering actually proves cheaper with delivery than collection even though it says 15% off if you collect. Bizarre!! I tried to point this out when I turned up for my take away, but it fell on deaf ears. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant they've lost there way sadly over the years and the quality of their food has really dropped off.

Excellent food, quantity needs to be looked at when compared with charges but apart from that all good.

Food used to be great, now very disappointing. Cost of take out £100.

When ordering online and collecting the food yourself they charge you a service fee! When ordering by phone and collecting the food yourself they won’t honour the collection discount. Avoid this restaurant.

Try to short change you when pay in cash. Check your total amount and your change.

Yasin was great good customer service amazing at a good cost. Must try here

If I could give zero stars I would, the chicken was chewy and tasteless and very overpriced. I called up and politely asked for a refund for the curry I ordered and they refused unless I drove down and dropped the food off myself. The manager then hung up on me after I stated I was unhappy with the service. Horrible staff and horrible food, don’t waste your money here!

A short black hair in my balti and it's definitely not one of mine

Waited over an hour for delivery. Called to chase it up and they said they couldn’t find the flat so just didn’t deliver it (they had our contact number and didn’t try calling). Food obviously then arrived cold. Very bland and tasteless, lamb was chewy, korma tasted no different to the masala. Peshwari naan fell apart so we couldn’t even eat that. Onion Bhajis again had no taste - all you could taste was the oil it had been cooked in. Second time we’ve ordered from here and previous time wasn’t great either. Wouldn’t return.

Dine in is top notch. But online service is pathetic.

Terrible...... Avoid this restaurant. I ordered delivery online using their slow & terrible website. Waited over an hour for our food and when arrived it was tasteless. Had to throw it to the bin, waste of time & money.

Worst Indian restaurant i ever ate in.. please dont waste your money here.. i ordered samosa (they fried readymade rumali roti samosa and gave), aloo chaat (they gave tasteless spiceless aloo sabzi over a poori, when complained, staff said he wasn't aware of what is aloo chaat), lamb tikka biryani (they gave fried rice, non spicy, undercooked hard dry meat), sag paneer (without any much paneer pieces), peshawari roti (this was okay)... We wasted 35 pounds here... Even the bill was hand written one... Not sure if they pay proper taxes...

First of all, they don’t have chai. I was simply surprised by the fact that Indian restaurants that don’t have chai exist. I ordered fish masala. We were the only customers when we arrived, but it took nearly 30 minutes to get the food. It was way too sweet, let alone not spicy at all. I wonder if local people like this sweet curry given the rate they got. Those who know authentic Indian cuisine will be disappointed. The staff were very nice though.

Horrible restaurant. No value for money and taste is also bad. With the name of India and hardly any respect for Indians. Really disappointed with the food. The prices are high and quantity /quality is negative!

Had a meal Saturday nite what a great meal and very friendly staff would use again next time we are in Seaford cheehs Alan Pam from Hastings

Had a lovely family meal here recently. Very friendly staff and the food was excellent. Very highly recommended.

Always a lovely curry, ate here with party of 10 from work, and everyone had a different dish which all came out correctly and warm.

Lovely curry, try the lamb chops and banana bhaji

I have been there just once, but it was enough to make me realize there is something special about the "Moon of India". People working here are especially friendly and kind. You can find there vibes that are normally limited to family contexts, which is particularly enjoyable, as a customer. The food i have had the pleasure to taste was so flavorous, so tasty, so colorful... I just coulnt stop eating. I wish everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy a meal in this very special place at least once in their lives.

I honestly don’t know how this place has good reviews, probably the worst curry I’ve eaten…firstly we ordered 3 curries and 3 rice and they only sent two curries with 3 rice and the food turned up cold & chewy , horrible taste , we will not be ordering here again!

The best Indian food in seaford

We had food delivered from here on Saturday and I was very impressed. The dishes ranged from good to excellent. The service was exceptionally good and the guy I spoke to on the phone was welcoming courteous and friendly. None of that would have mattered if the food was disappointing but it wasn't. Enjoyed it thoroughly and I'm going to use it it as my go-to now. This was the last of the the well rated Indian restaurants in the area that I've tried. Moved into the area two years ago and have slowly worked through all of the Indian restaurants in Newhaven and Seaford. This one is joint best for food quality and definitely the best for service by a mile. Thanks guys

A very pleasant experience. Being the closest table to the entrance door and protected only by a decorative screen was not great as when the door opened, we were hit by a blast of cold air. The food was very good and the service friendly and pleasant. I'm a bit out of touch with prices but I would think they are mid range. The decor was plain but clean, wouldn't think it the place for a romantic evening but we left satisfied, overall a pleasant experience.

So i went too the moon last night for a sunday special lovely sit down meal. Poppadoms.chutneys. had tandoori chicken,lamb tikka,(starters) lamb dansak,chicken tikki arachi this was sour and hot the dansak had a slight sweetness.peswari naan,pinnapple bhaji,andmotor panneer. If u like sag panneer. All the flavours married together perfectly.the food was good and the service was great ill definatly be back tha ks

The best Indian in town!! .. We have been coming here for 12 years and always had great food and service... Such a lovely family run restaurant and all the staff always make us feel welcome...

We have used this restaurant for twenty years and have never been dissapointed . Excellent quality food , decent portions and friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone. Tony Fish.

Great service, delicious food, highly recommended

Wonderful food prepared to perfection. Great service. Massive portions . Tasty. Clean, very clean environment and utensils. Bathroom very clean. Food all fresh and freshly cooked

We have been regularly ordering takeaways from here since we moved to Seaford three years ago. In the past they have always been tasty. Unfortunately we have noticed a gradual decline over the last 6 months in food quality and customer service. Our last takeaway was ordered at 6.50pm and were told an hour and a half wait time. Our food had not arrived 2 hours later so we called to see if we had been forgotten. A lady apologised and said it was just the naan left to cook so it would arrive within ten minutes. It was finally delivered a further hour later which took the total wait time to three hours. We understand you must have been very busy (this is great for you considering the impact covid has had on everyone’s finances) but we feel very disappointed with the service. We think it was more likely our order was forgotten and then we were lied to rather than told the truth. Our dinner was ruined as we were left waiting for 3 hours and ate very late. The only sign of amends was one extra onion bhaji and 2 extra poppadums. Considering we are loyal customers and spent £40 (which is a lot of money for us at the moment) we would have hoped to receive a stronger gesture by way of apology. We understand that mistakes happen but this was dealt with quite badly by your staff. Due to this experience, we will be unlikely to use Moon of India again. We emailed the restaurant a month ago to give the opportunity to respond (before leaving a bad review here) but we have had no reply.

By far 1star is to much ordered food so disappointed. They fried the chips in the same oil as they fry everything else so chips come with burned onion and test you can imagine and my kids don't like onions so we had order somewhere else what a waste

No Track and Trace system in place! Not even a clipboard to leave details on. Arent all restaurants supposed to be doing this?? Very nice food. Young Waitress lady had no mask on and looked like she wanted to be elsewhere.

We love this take away! We’ve never had a bad experience. Food is hot and tasty. Personal favourite is a lamb rogan and their mixed fish shashlik is also lovely.

Great service and food was lovely. Highly recommended

One of the worst restaurants I've been to in some time.

Last two visits were very disappointing, we were offered a choice of two house wines , chose one but when we ordered a second bottle we were told that they had only the one bottle . Long wait for food to arrive , part of the order arrived at the table ten minutes after the first part , we had to ask twice before they remembered to bring some water and had to ask for the air conditioning to be turned down as it was so cold . We have been going to the Moon of India for over 20 years and are really disappointed with how it has changed from a friendly relaxed atmosphere to more like the hustle and bustle of a fast food outlet with poor service and untrained / unprofessional waiters / waitresses. The problems continued with our takeaway last night for ourselves and five friends , were told it would take one hour but after an hour and a half we phoned to check and it finally arrived over two hours after ordering with two items missing .On a positive note the food is good but We won’t be returning anytime soon .

Its worst chicken biryani and its half cooked. Its completely waste of time and no proper response from the restaurant management

Worst biryani , half cooked , distasteful . Poorly marinated chicken . No zero star , that's the reason for 1 star

Worst half cooked biryani, half cooked chicken. It's time waste & money waste. My rating for Moon of India - BIG ZERO.

Ordered take away online. Delivered on time but food dissapointing. My passanda was very watery and had separated in the tray. No amount of mixing sorted this. Food wasnt piping hot, only warm. Little flavour. Wrong naan bread sent. Should have been pashwari, instead was filled with greasy cheese. I'd been really looking forward to trying this restaurant but it doesn't compare to other local Indian restaurants

Returned after a long absence and new management. Pleasantly surprised with great food and attentive service. All food freshly cooked so takes a little longer to reach table but worth the wait.

although they gave my son a dirty serviette they replaced it straight away and the food was out of this world

Booked online which was good.Arrived on time. Ordered drinks... we had waited a while then we noticed that one of the waiters had popped across the road to Tesco to buy the fruit juice we'd ordered for the kids, and the bottle of wine I had ordered. We then watched the staff squeeze 2 small cartons of juice into a glass!Service was slow, had to ask twice for a jug of water before it arrived.We were cold as we were Sat in the draft from the aircon. We asked them to turn it down - they switched it off, then back on again 10 minutes later.Had to ask for the beer we'd ordered after about 15 minutes.Had to ask for the bill twice before it arrived.Loos were a bit grotty. Food was ok. But my Lamb Rogan wasn't like anything I've had before! Good quality meat though!Wouldn't return....

Although I have had many meals at this restaurant which have been very enjoyable both in food and service and ambience in the restaurant, I wish to review the take-away service provided through the Covid 19 pandemic. Against all the odds this restaurant has kept going to continue to provide food of a high standard, which, in turn has kept us going through this difficult time. We really appreciate their cheerful service and perseverence to keep going.

Very poor food. Peshwari nan full of sweetened desiccated coconut. Inedible. Arrived an hour before designated time. Rarely do takeaways, this a special post lockdown treat. Never again.

Firstly,its just been refurbished and feels a nice place to be,excellent food and drinks,there's excellent air conditioning well worth a visit,I reckon you will return.Will have to make plans for another visit real soon!...

Excellent take away, by far the best locally. Really nice people. Highly recommended. Tony Fish.

Had a fantastic curry tonight, hot, fresh and really tasty, social distancing respected, highly recommended.

Blinking marvellous curry house..Take away amazing aswell.

Good food, great portions and friendly staff. Looks even better now theyve totally revamped the place. My regular curry house :-)

Very disappointing; extremely tough lamb, tastless dry chicken, cold hard naan bread, watery vegetable curry, and a very small quantity of over cooked and dry garlic mushrooms. What is going on....

Fabulous food friendly atmosphere and great service ,always feel so welcome

Oh my goodness what a fabulous experience, the food devine, the flavours incredible. So many excellent food sensations in each mouthful. Absolutely the best poppadoms i have ever had. The service was attentive but not too much. Booking would be a good idea at the weekend. We took the elders who lived in India in their childhood. As you can see from the photo they had s wonderful time.

Good Indian food. Prompt service. Will deliver.

Good service and food, will definitely come back.

We used to always love this restaurant, recently mainly had deliveries, the last two orders have not been as ordered and paid for, tonight was the final straw, we ordered 6 popadoms they were missed off our delivery, last time a nann bread was missing from our order, we didn’t complain, despite paying for these non delivered items.We won’t be ordering again. I can only assume management has changed.

To be honest I have not eaten a decent curry in Seaford for more than two years and certainly not bothered with a sit down meal for more than 3 years as quite frankly, the standard and quality of any of the restaurants is appalling, so for this reason why spend decent money on a meal that is rubbish, and that’s the reason why I choose to buy mine from Morrison’s Supermarket, they are cheaper and quick to cook and actually look better and taste extraordinarily good.I have been eating at Curry restaurants from 1971 as a young teenager and had more than my fair share of diverse experience in different regional Towns and London businesses including America and Europe I think I know what’s good and reasonably fair Indian cuisine, so I will be honest and fair in my opinions.My Wife and I ordered straight off the takeaway/ delivery menu which should be exactly what you would expect just the same as having a sit down meal, and having used the Moon of India before it simply has fallen down in my expectations immensely in quality and presentation of meals supplied. The food was supposedly two different dishes unfortunately they looked and tasted the same, the side dish was far too chunky when should be smaller pieces, the Nan should have had almonds but was filled with coconut and was dry and the onion Bargee also dry to the centre as if it had been precooked and sitting about for a couple of hours. Disappointed and annoyed but one positive has come out of this I will never eat or want to bother eating in any of the Seaford Indian Restaurants and rather travel to Eastbourne or Brighton in future where the quality has to be acceptable or they would just go under, how these Seaford Indian restaurants survive is a complete miracle and it’s no wonder at this standard if they will in the future.

Food always brilliant. Great service and lovely staff. Best indian in seaford hands down.

Have not eaten here for about 20 years (stopped going with poor service and poor food) what a change, I think it must be new owners. We went with friends and had a delightful meal with great attentive service. Everything served well in a cordial atmosphere.

Terrible take-away meal all round. Bland to start with, not gone near anything I associate with an Indian meal in terms of spices. When the menu says served with pilau rice they don’t send a portion with everything ordered on the menu and it is not pilau rice, so they short-change you right from the start. (Tried to tell me that pilau rice is healthier when they don’t use turmeric to make it, plus other spices that would give it a distinct flavour). In effect, one load of boiled rice served for two dishes that said they came, each, with pilau rice. The chapatis resembled out of date grainy dry flatbreads from the local supermarket and probably were. An under-cooked round thing purported to be a paratha, (‘What’s wrong with that?’ said the manager when showed the distinctly not cooked, not a paratha piece of rubbery bread). One of the chicken dinners was terribly sweet and the person who had it thought a mistake was made in using the wrong sauce for it as he had gone out of his way to order a meal that was not sweet. There are six local people minimum now who will not eat food from this dreadful restaurant in Seaford.

Friendly and proud of their food. As with most restaurants, it's a shame that the popadums are not fresh. This is a bit of a letdown. Chicken Ceylon delicious, but tandoori chicken a little lacking in flavour. All in all though pleasant enough.

Great service and wonderful food recommend the vegetarian dishes

Very nice food and friendly staff

I am sad to say this was one of the poorest Indian meals I’ve had whether at home or in a restaurant. It was bland with tasteless ‘pulao’ rice (only one portion sent), breads which were like cardboard and curries with little flavour or heat. Very disappointing indeed.

Always welcoming, lovely food and very good service

Excellent Lovely food. Very good service and staff very friendly.

Great food, all cooked fresh, a main, a rice or bread + sides. We were greeted by the manager- who remembered my food allergies, I’ve only been there 4times in the past 2yrs. Unfortunately it’s not terribly accessible, they have a ramped entrance, but the restaurant is narrow, so not really suitable for a wheelchair. The service was spot on, beers delivered when asked, food all hot and freshly cooked, including a special request at no extra cost. Thank you

A staple selection for Seaford, as one of the oldest Indian food restaurants in Seaford. Savory dishes steeped in rich sauces, good takeaway, restaurant section great for a meal out. Staff very polite and friendly.

Had a lovely seafood curry. Great Indian.

Excellent food staff was friendly and helpful
