Noori's in Brighton and Hove

I came here on a Groupon by myself. The family were initially very welcoming and the place has a pleasant ambience with an orange glow and old Bollywood music playing. Then the manageress came over....I gather this woman is quite legendary for her charm (!) - she told me that the Groupon was only for two people but as I had been seated I could go ahead and eat. The food was fine, dishes well done and filling. Perfect for a chilly evening. However, the manageress couldn't help herself from telling me over and over what a favour she was doing me by letting me use the Groupon by myself. So if you don't mind the fierce service you will have a decent meal. If you're coming with a Groupon, be sure to bring a friend!

Second time visiting for us a few month apart. Lovely food that came out piping hot. Staff were friendly although clearly a very busy little place. 10% service charge on the bill but worth it for the food and service we had. Overall worth a visit and will be back the next time we’re in Brighton!

Terrible! Food lamb curry and chicken curry covered in fat in the meat, strange taste and oily. The owner literally threw 2 lovely ladies out of the restaurant in front of everyone. She also hurried us and another couple out as soon as we finished our food. It was totally crazy and left a bad taste both in our mouths and evening)

Quite disappointed. We came here previously when attending Conference and was good but don't know if chef has changed but standards have dropped. Poppadoms were soft. We ordered two different chicken Curry's which looked very similar. We ordered an apple juice that was past it's best date. Won't be going back sadly.

Second visit and was looking forward to our meal but was very disappointed. Basics weren't right. Poppadoms were soft. Apple juice given was out of date. Curry was a bit bland. Mushroom rice has far too much garlic. To be fair the sag planner was decent. I think some of the restaurants which benefit from conferences in Brighton need to up their game as restaurant users have good memories and thanks to Trip Advisor we can record our experiences soon after eating here

Lady that service us was great friendly food was great great curry's great all round Nice spice very happy for coming there I be back soon one best places in brighton to have a curry

Lovely curry just very small if you are hungry I would definitely order more then you think

Food wasn't great.owner decided to tell us she's sweating and having heart problem.. Be aware they charge service charge 10%

Worst Indian in Brighton Very very expensive Low quality food Poor customer service Overall a bit of a dump

Partner and I went here for a meal, lady in the restaurant was friendly and helpful. The food was okay. Nothing special. Food is a bit pricey, we had curry dishes with rice and nan plus poppadoms with dips , the bill was nearly £50 as they add an extra 10% service charge to the bill,I was a bit shocked. We will not be going back.

The spot was very cute with a lot of warmth from the team. The variety of Indian meals was excellent with healthy portions which we truly enjoyed. The manager was a gem and very friendly. Unfortunately wasnt able to get the lamb but the chicken options were good

Good service. Brilliant butter chicken. Would definitely go back another time. Main server was so welcoming. Available seating for many

Horrendous! My curry tasted like a tin of tomato sauce (seriously). It was just tomato with no Indian spices. By far, the worst curry I've ever had. I complained to the manager but they weren't interested and had an attitude and we're just rude. The restaurant was run down inside, cold and just not nice. The staff took ages with the food and then when we finished we felt forced to leave. AVOID

Amazing food, the menu has slightly changed. For the better! The owner Suwanna (sorry if I have missed spelled your name) was amazing, really helpfull for the menu. I would fully recommend

Excellent place, delicious food, Thank you for all staff.

Amazing food and quantity! Lovely friendly owners. Will be back when I’m next here!

HI IM 27 year I’ve been to so many countries been to lots of English,Asian,Chinese nd other restaurants but this NOORIS BRIGHTON is the WORST one FIRST OF ALL THEY ARE SHRI LANKAN USING INDIAN NAME SECONDLY THE Old lady was really disrespectful. She don’t know how to talk customers how to behave. She was damn rude. I have never met someone like her I’ll never recommend this restaurant to someone Guys dont go there

Worst experience with the Bangladeshi lady sitting as the front of house, first of all they bought wrong order and we had that as we were in rush, then she was throwing money while she was returning the change, the lady has a bad attitude and she doesn't respects anyone, pathetic customer service and pathetic staff.

This place is absolutely the most authentic curry house I’ve been to for many years. Thank you very much indeed for the incredible dishes served by a very kind and welcoming hostess! 🤗😎

Worst Experience as Indian Restaurant. I f you love Indian food then this is not for you. Even the customer service is worst. You can’t give order in between your meal once you gave your order at first. The lady is very rude to the customers. Food is also not much delicious.

Terrible. Dirty dishes from other tables were brought to the empty table next to ours instead of the kitchen. Restaurant was half empty and waitress rudely refused to move us to another table when requested, claiming that there were insufficient tables. Took more than 30mins before food was served. Waitress repeatedly asked customers to hand the dirty plates to her instead of collecting them herself. Food is significantly overpriced for the service you receive. Finally we were rudely asked to leave when we provided feedback, claiming that she has been running this business for 40years. Why would you even try?

An insult to Indian hospitality. The woman running the restaurant is a disrespectful woman with poor manners. Completely ruined my sojourn to Brighton. Not to mention the dirty dishes left for ages at the side of the table left for « no space in the kitchen ». Food is a disgrace. Run away.

Friendly staff, good food, and the woman who was running the place solo has the patience of a saint.

Culinary heaven loaded with spicy flavours outstanding 😁👍👍

Lovely little place - the rogan and dupiaza were amazing - both the chicken and lamb were so tender. Onion bhajis and Shiah kebab both tasty and poppadoms with dips were excellent - a good array of tasty dips. Special mention to the lady who was running the restaurant- she was so nice and looked after us really well.

Nice evening. Good food, relaxing place and would come back again. Informal, friendly and welcoming, perfect, thank you

Curry was fine but popadoms and rice were horrible. The worst part was settling the bill and then having the previously friendly manager coming back to charge us an extra £4.50 plus mandatory tip because she had made an error when totalling up. No apology was offered as if it was our fault. Strange place, i would avoid!

Been eating here for over 25 years. Delicious food with a friendly and efficient service

We have just call to book a table, the staff was very rude in a way. BTW we were just booking the table

The staff were kind and helpful. The food was presented well and tasted delicious. I had vegetable samosas, vegetable curry and a plain nan bread. I will go again

Beautiful! Lovely and fresh, will be ordering again.

Amazing Dansak. Definately will return on next visit to Brighton.

Wife and I called in as from the window the restaurant looked attractive and we were hungry. Food was okay, nothing special, I have eaten far better for a lot less cost. It is just the basic Indian wholesale pre prepared sauces, not homemade. A gripe that always gets me is the added service charge, surely the staff are paid a minimum/living wage, the waitress was an older woman who seems to be part of a family that runs the place. I asked for it to be removed and paid in cash, my change was all in ones and fives pennies, Lol, so childish! IF I want to tip, and I often do, then I'd rather pay cash from my pocket, not have it added to my Invoice, that is cheeky! Won't go again, there are far better and cheaper places to go to.

I went two times, first time it was good food but slow service second time the same but when we ask about the 50% offer they have (which we didn’t see in the ad.) she shouted at us and she was very rude everyone was looking at us we were very embarrassed she could say that Saturday not included in the offer. Never going back!

I thought, very expensive. While choosing from the menue we where offered 4 poppadoms and chutneys, I knew they weren't free but was shocked to see we had been charged nearly £15 for them £7 for a beer etc If a meal for two for £80 is your thing then this is your place but I for one will be going somewhere that is better value for money

I've been to Nooris, I tried the garlic chilli chicken and Pashwairi nann and spicy potato and It was wonderful! Service was great aswell. If I ever go to Brighton again I will go to this restaurant. I recommend it!

We had the early bird set menu that ends at 8pm - 2 courses £12. The atmosphere and welcome could not be better - nothing is too much trouble. Bottle of wine at good price £18. The food was excellent value for money, great quality and fresh ingredients. Located perfectly in the heart of Brighton Lanes, close to the sea and fabulous bars. Have been here many times before with our family and will keep coming back. Thank you! 🤩

I was not keen to go inside this restaurant. I was with a male friend who was tired of walking around in search for the Thai restaurant Rude arrogant waitress. She must be the manager. I was keen to get up & tell her to shove it Tasteless & overly oily thick sauce. All meals is served with this ghastly savoury sludge Do not let them direct you to near the window. They are using you to make the place look busy for those walking past. The food, rubbish. The well built waitress was insistent that every meal has a thick sauce. In other words, customers must expect a meal with a thick sauce. Indian restaurants have ready-made cartons of ready-made buttery sauce I realised afterwards that i was not served a butterfly pawn, but served 3 prawn filo from a supermarket, it tasted supermarket version. My friend paid who is never bothered about the quality of his foods. . He was charged £86.00 for two of us . Day light robbery. My mate stupidly did not take his receipt. I bet that they charged him extra for gratuity.

I have visited this Indian restaurant in Brighton, England. I have ordered the chicken tikka biryani. Unfortunately, the biryani didn't live up to the authentic Indian taste I was expecting. Additionally, the bottled mango juice, priced at £2.95, was a bit underwhelming. For those seeking genuine Indian flavors, this might not be the ideal place. On a positive note, the service provided by the lady was excellent, adding a pleasant touch to the overall dining experience.

Visited by chance while on the way to a different curry house - what a mistake. Ordered chicken wings and a staff chicken curry with a Peshawari naan. Waited 40 minutes for 4 tiny wings with a bit of shredded lettuce and then waited another 30 for my main which I decided to take away due to the place being freezing cold. My staff curry was bland chicken in a watery sauce and the naan resembled nothing like a Peshawari naan with no sign of any of the expected ingredients. They even tried to add a service charge which I found to be insulting due to the poor service. Will definitely not return or recommend this place. The worst curry I have ever had.

Had a wonderful meal with a big group of my work colleagues. Lovely place with great selection of food, will be back!

I returned to Nooris with friends after a gap of a number of years. The food is still excellent, very tasty, and it was nice to be recognised with a warm welcome. A cold beer, great food and friendly atmosphere made for a great evening.

Delicious food. Authentic Indian test. great service. Had a great time.

Went for the first time last weekend , service was very friendly and food was amazing will be going back .

I can honestly say, the best curry I've ever had. I had a vegetable dansak, coconut rice and Pn naan.

Ordered it, missing items tried rining up they said they are busy tough pretty much

Lovely Indian restaurant. We have been going for a number of years now. You cannot fault the food. Service is always great. Very attentive . Always more than happy to meet your requests. Highly recommend Nooris (its not been there for years for no reason). Puzzled about the negative reviews.

Very good curry if you're visiting Brighton.

Very rude owner, food was spilled on delivery. I called them for help any they denied any assistance and hung up on me

This is my regular Indian and it just gets better every time I go. Service is amazing and so is the food. Would highly recommend as it’s good value for money

Great tasting food, great prices, and a very polite delivery driver. Thank you very much.

One of the best curries I've had.

I don't know should I say about this restaurant. I bought a voucher for dinner (for two - starters and main, I got 2 voucher), reserved and went to the restaurant. I informed them about it eariler. On the voucher it is a price including food choice. so I thought I shouldn't spend anything for food except some drink I order extra. But It wasn't like that. It was only discount vouchers that restaurant wanted to use in that way. I was disappointed very much. I explained to the lady there but they wanted the voucher to be discounted on the food only then pay extra on the rest. We ordered as normal. When the bill come, the voucher had been used it for 25% on the food (which I had calculated it) I hot voucher for £18 to be used for 25% discount! but it is dependent what you ordered. I didn't have any drinks, only water. and the rest were food for 4 ppl. The food is not too bad compared with another indian restaurant but I don't like the way I have been treated. I thought I got voucher to spend and eat starters and main for £18 but I have paid extra for £60 (including 10% service charge) You could search a voucher on Groupon and will understand everything. For myself, I don't think it is fair. I am not plan to go there again.

The food at this place is good. Visited to collect takeaway 26 October 23. They use two menus with different prices so please be careful to clarify when you order . Our initial order came to £74 when we checked we had been over charged by £31 . Big shame as the good is good

We have been tens of times to Nooris and never had a bad meal there. The food is old-style curries. They’ve recently re-vamped and are trading as a cross between a traditional Indian Noori and a “curry club” called Mumbai Chilli Club. As far as we could tell the curries were the same as before but with a swanky new menu and not cheap at £15 for a main. On the last visit the meal came quickly but we had to wait about 15 mins before our order was taken. The lady was most apologetic and we weren’t in a rush so didn’t mind. Incidentally, we have always found the lady (owner/manager) to be extremely friendly although always rushed off her feet. I suppose if you take offence easily then you might translate her being busy as brusque but really? No, she’s fine. We will always go back to Noori’s and highly recommend it as a place to go for good food, at a reasonable price, right off the seafront

Food sub-par, poppadoms were stale and over priced, the chicken tikka pakora was abysmal the only enjoyable part was the salad.

Had a great meal here. Delicious pickle tray and mixed starter. The owner was friendly and accommodating when we asked if we could have a slightly different naan. The main was worth the wait. Overall a great little place. We will be back again next time we are in Brighton!

Loved it. Service was lovely and two courses for £11.99 was great! Thank you so much will defo be back :)

Excellent food and great service. One of the best Biryani's Ive had in the UK. The staff were very friendly.

Very slow service over an hour wait. Rude woman manager, other staff did their best. Overcharged on bill and told menu was wrong but price was reduced to match the menu. No service charge added and poppadom not charged. Food was very nice and filling, I had a lamb biryani.Booked with Groupon paid £8.40 for £20 off.

Had Dinner during my stay at Brighton. Though it's an Indian cuisine, Indian flavours tasted average and quantity was very less and ambience is average.

Surprised to see the low ratings provided by others. I live in Lancashire so I know a good Indian restaurant from a dodgy one, and this one was good. While at a conference in week 28 a friend and I had a meal here and I can only say we were both impressed. The food was brilliant. On a specific personal note as someon with special dietary requirements, the manager and the other staff members dealt with me in a polite and helpful manner.

Friday night table of five. Place was. Busy, Not enough staff or menus. Took a long time to get served but the waitress was apologetic. Food was mediocre. Small portions and very overpriced. Naan was hard and crispy and the tikka masala was more like korma. Disappointed and would not recommend particularly when there are so many Indian restaurants in the area.

Placed an order for (very local) delivery through their website. I was rung up after an hour to tell me it was cancelled, then, just as we were making alternative plans, called to say it was on its way. About half of the food ordered arrived, the rest of the items missing. I contacted them, they said that a new meal could be delivered any time in respect of all of this. When I contacted them to arrange this, I was given multiple reasons why they couldn’t do it that day (it’s a busy night, etc etc). They’ve now stopped responding at all. It’s a shame because the quality of food is superb, but you’re unlikely to get your full order, or any promises kept.

Really nice food, sensible size portions at sensible prices. Delivery was spot on.

One of the best I've had and believe me l've had a lot l'm 78 now. Well done keep up the great cuisine

Why was the maximum service charge applied? Food was good, though

Lovely restaurant, very accommodating staff and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Fabulous food from Noori’s as usual!

Great curry great family lovely setting can't wait to go back. Lovely birthday was had thank you. ♥

Fabulous food. Highly recommend this restaurant having eaten their food for several years. Freshly cooked and great portion size.

My favourite Indian restaurant in Brighton since I can remember!

Lovely welcome + service, the menu was quite quirky and inventive, the food was tasty + good range of drinks

Overall food was good but service was very poor. We felt very rushed throughout our meal and felt like we were being watched by staff behind the bar the entire time. We were given the bill then I stated I was a student and would...

Great little place. Food was good and a decent price.

Food was very nice , certainly no complaints Will definitely be using this restaurant again . Just eat was spot on as usual 👍

We were hoping for an interesting experience after reading all the bad reviews, but instead this was a delicious, pleasant meal.

So, my next time in Brighton since I last reviewed this restaurant in November 2022 and unsurprisingly we choose to visit here again for dinner. Immediately accommodated with a table (and welcomed with a smile), despite again being just a walk-in. Everything I conveyed in...

Lieu cosy, très bonne cuisine avec un accueil et un service chaleureux ! Ne pas hésiter :)

Noori's was lovely and the food was delicious. It it central and easy to get to. I'm local to Brighton and have visited once before, it was even better the second time!

great quality and really delicious, lovely service

Nooris is a lovely Indian restaurant where you are welcomed the moment you arrive. The staff are absolutely wonderful and give great hospitality. We have been as a couple many times and have always had fresh, tasty Indian food with a beautiful selection of wines...

The food was great quality and delicious. Great value for money. Quick service and a relaxed atmosphere.

The food was amazing and service was great too! Amazing selection of dishes and deals as well.

Was great and welcoming. Lovely authentic food!

We found the food absolutely brilliant! Very highly recommended and reasonably priced.

They didn't put the poppadoms in, which I ordered. 75p but still, I did pay for it. The lamb biriyani was good but the vegetable curry that accompanies as a main part of the dish was not good at all. Oily, very liquid and contained one diced potato, one stalk of broccoli and a couple of runner beans. Looks like it was the last bit in the pan. Not ordering again.

no heating on just felt really cold didn't even finish my meal the place absolutely freezing

Very nice staff and amazing food

Good food, open till late, very friendly people!!!

Beautiful experience and beautiful staff, food tasted very authentic and the larger was perfectly chilled and white wine was lovely

We found this restaurant on our stay away in brighton for a couple nights. Upon entering we seen a clear sign that said “20% student discount” so we thought great and decided to go on. We got a table, inside was fine. Nice ish decor....

we we're looking around for somewhere to eat for ages and everywhere was so overpriced so it was nice to see this place serving traditional indian food at good prices, they had a deal for two courses for eleven quid and the food was gorgeous....

Such delicious food - one of the best curry's I've had for a long time! Lamb jalfrezi is to die for - can't wait to come again

Amazing food and flavours, normally wouldn't give a review but definitely worth it!! All very cheap for the quality and amount of food.

Fantastic, unbelievable, heart warming and a taste of proper home cooking. Extremely welcoming staff, such a beautiful smile and a friendly aura, the chef presented our food to us and laid it out across out table. We had a feast, the chicken dhansak was the...

The restaurant was really quite cold inside, food was averagely nice, not a lot else to say. Sad really as used to be a thriving Indian restaurant.

I’m visiting town and stumbled across this place. The staff was so friendly, and the food was great.

We should have taken the hint when the first thing we saw was the waitress wearing a woolly hat. Friendly, and the food was okay, but please look after your diners with the basics.

Lovely restaurant close to the seafront. Very good menu, the food was plentiful and full of flavour. Staff very friendly and helpful. This will be our go to Indian restaurant when we're in Brighton.
