Pavel in Brighton and Hove

10/10. Food is just marvellous. The staff are great! I love coming here!

Lovely food friendly helpful staff

hands down, this is the best Indian restaurant in Brighton, associated with skilled staff and the food is just quality. The interior design is spot on it feels very cozy which makes the vibes great!! would highly recommend… Great example of what the south coast needs!! (P.S very family friendly) keep it up guys!!👌🏽👌🏽

We fancied an Indian meal & thought we would try Pavel as it was a short walking distance from our hotel & we didn't want to venture to far on our 1st evening in Brighton. We weren't disappointed. The food was really nice & the service was good. We enjoyed it so much we went back a 2nd time during our 4 nights stay in Brighton

Fantastic food & service as always at the Elvis Tribute evening last night. Absolutely faultless, Try the ‘Pavel’ experience…you won’t be disappointed!

Nothing to do with “the fork” did an online booking with your outfit but had no table reservation when I arrived but pavel was very accommodating and gave us a really nice table

Have been looking for a decent Indian takeaway for ages and Pavels is it! Food is delicious, lots of choice and always deliver quickly and food is hot. Not overpriced like all the others in the area too.

Super food. 10 of came on Monday. Management was fantastic and food was outstanding. Highly recommend3d if your visiting brighton sea.

Very poor Quilty - lack of flavour very disappointed, Sorry

The meal l had was excellent I came in with my accountant Who Go to central London to have a curry and he agrees that the food and Service is excellent

Vindaloo good chicken init tough korma good chicken tough nan bread the same Bombay potatoes good . Won’t order again

All our dishes were extremely bland. The butter chicken had no taste and was mostly oil. Disappointed as this has such high reviews

I ordered and paid for 3 popadoms and only got given 2!! Food was not of great quality. Disappointed.

after giving an excellent review last time. the chickin vindaloo was watery and not at all hot. maybe a diffrent chef on Mondays but not impressed this time.

only the second time I have used this resturant and it wont be the last. good quality food. good portions, good price. love it. keep up the good food. thank you.

Lovely food, very attentive staff and they were so friendly. I would definitely go back and I know my family have been several times.

a very nice meal. really well cooked. thank you.

Love this restaurant. Been here a few times now. The staff are always friendly and the service is good. The food is very tasty and there is plenty of it. They are happy to let you take uneaten food home. The decor is fresh and clean.

Interesting menu, delicious food cooked fresh and served hot. A definite favourite of ours.

i have not received my order?????

Great food, fabulous service. We will happily return and recommend to our friends. Pls check my negative comments too.

Fantastic warm and friendly atmosphere in the restaurant, very fairly priced tasty food. Delivers right out to Saltdean, with food always arriving hot and with a smile. A++++ service all round!!

Best Indian in Brighton. Full af flavor, decent portions and great prices.

A little disappointed this time, the food was not hot just warm.

excellent food. hot and exactly on time.

chicken was dry, madras too runny

Excellent meal. Courteous staff. We recommend.

My wife and I had different curries. Both were really bland and flavourless. Not impressed at all. A shame as I’d looked forward to trying Pavel for some time.

Didn't get what we ordered (missing items and incorrect items) and staff were rude when informed.

The best Indian food we have had! Brilliant service from start to finish. We had a mixture of dishes and cleared the lot. I can't wait to go back again.

Had a lovely meal, tasted great, have been a regular for a while and it's always to notch. Manager and waiters are very friendly and helpful. Poppadoms were crisp and fluffy, curry had the right amount of spice/sweets, great stuff!

A classic 70’s style Curry House with heavy flock wallpaper, pristine waiters offering fantastic old fashioned curries at an affordable price Excellent all round.

excellent food, charming decor and delightful service. A very pleasurable dinner with friends

Excellent curry as always. Fabulous

Starting dish of poppadoms was great, good kick in the pickle, cooling mint yoghurt and smooth mango. Plenty to chose from on the mains. I went for an old favourite chicken tikka masala, when it arrived looked very pale, upon tasting was strong in coconut and was very creamy and mild. I asked the waiter about the dish, saying it tasted like a korma, the reply was "we don't use additives so it will be lighter in colour" and something about almonds, "we can change it but it'll be the same". So ok it was tasty but not what I ordered hence the low rating,

I think this is my first time only giving 5 stars. Dansak was spot on. Didn't enjoy my special fried rice as much but that was probably just my choice and I could have chosen better.

na mazing dish. Did have a kick but I can't handle very hot food.

A new dish for me to try out. Akburi Chicken. Good with a Roti. Great taste. Big sizes. Good value.

Brilliant food, great taste and came in good time!

This place never fails, genuinely one of the best in the city

We can fault nothing about our experience. Lovely food and we were made to feel very welcome. Salmon was outstanding! We plan to return in the next day or so.

The food did not have much flavour, definitely had better !

Very nice curry on Boxing day. Definitely recommend this place 👍 lovey, thank you

It’s way far from indian food , and for the food quality is over priced one of the worst indian restaurants in Brighton, the biryani doesn’t have the spices and oily plus the checkin butter is soup. 🤮

Lovely food and staff but didn't control the noisy people in the restaurant so couldn't wait to leave.

Great food but getting a bit expensive.

10/10 service and food. The owner was amazing, he was friendly and welcoming. Made sure our tummies were full. The atmosphere was great. 100000% recommend. The tandoori chef was amazing. Made sure all of our food was to our tasting.

It was our first time of using this Indian and we wasn't disappointed. I pre ordered online using the Chef Online app. I was able to request what time we wanted the food to be delivered, it was very easy to order. The food arrived 15 minutes early was nice and hot and freshly cooked. There was plenty of chicken in the korma and it was good quality chicken. We would use this take away again and I would recommend it to family and friends.

Wonderful gem of an Indian restaurant. The food was delicious, the staff was very attentive and friendly, the prices were great and the atmosphere was lovely. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely people, awesome food, great service, nice prices

Consistantly good food & service & coming frm birmingham originally we know a good curry !

Very disappointed! The worst butter chicken I have ever got! It was basically sweet coconut soup! What a waste of money!

Excellent take away tonight. Delicious food will defo order here again. Well done

Me and my friend visited the panel last Friday night . Being men we hadn’t realise the time still couple people finishing off, but I said don’t worry take a seat I’m very friendly and chatty. The only ones left in there had a lovely meal chatted about India general and I chicken pasta was lovely and my friend had a Jalfrezi, it’s no rush to get rid of us a lovely meal, we had a recommend it highly.

This is one of, if not the, best curry restaurants in Brighton 🔥

Sehr zu empfehlen… freundlich , schnell, sehr lecka 👍😎 würde immer wieder hier hin gehen… ich muss noch mehr schreiben…. Mir fehlen die Worte…. Kommt selber vorbei … endlich - ich bin fertig 😎✌️😂

Love this curry house and will always come back time and time again but this time wasn’t their strongest offering. Disappointed that the Ceylon curry had almost no heat to it and that the £9 chicken tikka main was fairy bland and lacking in any kind of chargrill as one would hope for off the grill. The chicken tikka masala isn’t my usual choice but thought to give it a go, was a little lacklustre and lacking any vibrancy plus not much meat sadly. The chaat, dhal and saag paneer were absolutely delicious and the staff were prompt and kind

Did not use a lot of spice, something felt lacking

Great meal and great service. What more could you want??? Excellent night out with lovely food and drinks, many thanks!

We had an amazing experience visiting from Canada. Great food, amazing service and ambiance. Definitely will be back . Owner was lovely.

The garlic chicken Tika with the mint yoghurt is sublime.

Probably the best Indian restaurant in Brighton. Panel has been my go to to place for many years. Dining in and ordering a takeaway, the quality of food is always exceptional! Whilst it may not be the cheapest, it is certainly great value for money and worth every penny. Dining in provides a whole new experience, with five star service from attentive staff. I understand how this venue is a multi award winning premises! Definitely a must for any Indian food lovers out there. Reservations are advised.

This is my favourite in Brighton. Best food . Could you add the paneer dishes to the menu

The best Indian I tried in Brighton . Delicious .

A rare find. The quality of the food was outstanding, staff very polite and helpful. Great atmosphere. Family had a great meal and time. Will be returning.

To begin with, the owner is very friendly and welcoming. I ended up eating here two nights in a row. The food is amazingly tasty, and the portions you get are more than worth what you pay. I hope to come back here again next year. Thanks for the great food and conversations.

Couldn't even try the place... Monday it was closed at 1530...

Good quality food, I'll be back!

I came here on my way home from work for a snack of sag aloo. When ordering the two male members of staff were talking about me in what felt like a dismissive way. They then said I had to pay cash, which I didn’t have so I ordered another side dish, tarka dal which I’ve had in many other Indian restaurants. At home the potato dish was good but the dal was just yellow water with few lentils that I could see. I had to sieve it in order to find a few lentils. It wasn’t even like a thickish soup, just water. Worst dal ever.

One of the best meal we have had after a long time, never thought we would find something amazing like this restaurant in Brighton as well as the beautiful area the food was even more beautiful with efficient staff with great service. Whenever we cone back to Brighton this place is a must visit again., even the chef came out of the kitchen just ti greet us and make us feel welcome. Well done chaps see you again soon.

Delicious on time and fantastic customer service

Missing items not the first time this has happened, spilt food in bag

Used to really enjoy pavel,but find it,s bulked with veg now,and not the spice content it used to be

Considering it was Pride weekend, we were very impressed with delivery time. As always the food was excellent

Highly disappointing. Asked for a table for two to be told they were closing. We left then 45 mins later when we passed again people were still entering. Can only assume the staff had an issue serving LBGT, which was very strange for an Indian in the village area. Davina

Good food and very friendly service. We have been using them for years and very happy to recommend them.

Excellent tasty food,great service. Highly recommended.

They take time to give you the time to talk and injoying being out for a evening.and food very tasty and as you like with a lot of not spices

Best take away curry in Brighton (and we have been searching for a while!)

Excellent food. Reasonably priced.

Was recommended this place by a local and it didn’t disappoint, Very friendly Staff, Lovely food and really nice atmosphere. Fast service and really nice deco. Cant recommend it enough

Both my friend and I were impressed by the food (set menu for two)and enjoyable pleasant service. Highly recommend.

First time trying food from this takeaway and it was well worth it. I had the chicken chat and goan chicken. Two dishes I’ve never tried but my choices were well worth it! Absolutely delicious food! The food was delivered early and the delivery driver was considerate of the time of night I’d ordered (food came just before 11pm) and called to let me know he was outside which was much appreciated as I had a sleeping toddler in the house. I will be ordering again and trying other dishes on their menu as there is so much choice! Definitely recommend!

One of the best Indian meals I have had ia long while. It is my new favourite.

The food was really really delicious!! Definitely going to order from here again !! 10/10

A great spot for dinner with efficient service, a great menu including specials. Food was hot and flavourful. Will be returning.

I just have to say that I have just had a culinary delight from Pavels. Ordered a delivery which was prompt… The food was lovely and hot and even better it was delicious. Superbly cooked thank you 👏👏👏

THE BEST INDIAN EVER SO SO tasty and really good value. Continuously good too! Highly recommend. I cannot wait to return.

Food was early today but I appreciated that. Really liked my Chicken Tikka Garlic Balti. The Nan was perfect. The sauce of the Balti was thick and had garlic or onions in it so wasn't just sauce. Lovely Chicken. I must remember this one for the next time I order. Very pleased with it.

Good quality and tasty, restaraunt forgot the onion bhajee

Always order from the,never disappoints!

Greeted by Naz with a big smile & given menu's. Went for the 'set meal" at £35 & well value for money. Food cooked to request of being madras hot & it was perfect. Whole evening was a pleasure. Great atmosphere/spotless clean restaurant & great service with excellent food. Highly recommend.

Hot food very good ingredients would recommend this highly.

We went there for food today. But the first experience was very bad. The attitude of the person standing at the front office (the person wearing a half sleep shirt - I think he is the manager) was very bad. He behaved as if we had come to eat food. There were only 2 customers there, yet we ordered food and had to wait for half an hour. But food was very bad. Avoid this hotel if possible.

Well, first of all we wait a long time for food.there was a big table thats why they didn’t give us attention properly, though we ask for food.2nd part they said tandoori mix(chicken 1/4 2pc) will be enough for 2 people. But when i open package it was only 1 leg 3 tikka,1 shis kabab.taste was awful, rotten chicken,nan was full burn.we pay for extra one.salad was smells like bin.we said is it enough for 2 they said yes but which way tell me authorities. Right now i am feeling seek.i want full refund of my money.i need to talk with management team,now i am worried about the food quality of them.i i didn’t get proper response from them.i will let know Council food and safety Department about the issue.thank you.

4 of us went to eat here today but we got a very bad attitude from the staff.. there was no move from their side to welcome us or to ask us to sit down.. apart from that we saw very bad attitude towards Indians and very good behavior towards others.. Needless to say. Food was also very bad.. and we were charged 10% service charge for ordering biryani.. very bad service very bad food..

Always early and hot and one of the tastiest curry house I have had , every curry is spot on taste wise ... my last one could have done with more meat in it but againb the taste was there , last nights was better !! and tried the Ghost Aloo bakera which could have done with more heat but was awesome .... I am very fussy when it comes to takeaways and only been a few that have been firm favourites and Pavel Indian is right up there now

Delivered on time & gorgeous food 😁

Not greeted by waiter, was an effort for him, I asked for a table for one, he wanted to put me near the only 2 couples in the restaurant, one of which was making such a loud noise, so I asked if I could sit at an empty table, which was refused due to him saying all other tables were reserved even though there were no reserved signs on display, I walked out in absolute disgust and went to the nearby Bayleaf curry house where the experience was totally the opposite!

Very good quality and very tasty.
