Prithiraj in Adur

They changed my delivery time so phoned up they said it was the weather when the driver arrived he said he was the only one working , my food had leaked all over the bag the poppadoms were smashed to bits and to top it of it was cold phoned and said they would replace and I declined as I had been waiting 1,35 mins already so had to microwave they said they would discount my next order I think it's time to find a new restaurant, a loyal customer for years

We order from here most weekends.. It’s very inconsistent, the same patia dish varies every week from korma heat to madras heat…once again this week we have food missing.. this week it’s the salad and the yoghurt for the tikka & the onion salad . The poppadoms are burnt on one side… Very disappointed after an hour wait.. But the reason for this review is due to ringing to complain I was told the packer has definitely put everything in the bag and maybe I should check again 😱 Needless to say this is the last straw and I will find somewhere else to spend my money…

Been using this place for years and never disappointed. Always top notch food and very reasonably priced. Nice friendly staff

UPDATE!!!!! This was 5 stars. Unfortunately, it has gone downhill again. I have given the prithi three chances since it has gone bad, but until I hear otherwise, I will not be returning. I have been coming here since it first opened and been a very loyal customer, but until it bucks its ideas up, I won't go back. Now the only selling point is to take your own drink. Well, I may as well sit down the beach if I want that, at least I can fire up the BBQ and cook something nice. Every main dish now only comes with either 4 to 5 pieces of chicken. Half of what you received about 3 months ago, and the last visit the chicken was dry and tough :( . I really hope it ups its game. Until then Naaz has my custom.

Ordered today at lunchtime for 8pm. Wrong curries delivered. Had to wait for correct curries to be delivered. Ordered from there as we have tried many other places and their food is always the best. Shame the order was messed up but they did redeliver.

Takeaway mixed vegetable dansak had no vegetables! Just sauce. No potato, no mushroom. Little lentil to speak of. Tiny bit of onion and a few peas. Not a suitable meal for vegetarians.

I have been going to the Prithi Raj around 15 years and it has changed hands twice, and has always great. Unfortunately our last four visits have been poor, the food has taken a massive decline and chicken/lamb/prawn per portion has also declined in amount. we will not be returning again for a while! Such a shame as I can’t almost say I visited at least twice a month.

Good food, friendly service, well priced. Have been before and will go again. Highly recommended

What a restaurant, the food was fabulous, our host Leo explained the menu if we wasn’t sure what is was and was so helpful and you can take your own alcohol which saves you a lot of money, Would recommend anyone to visit

Great service and food thanks from the three idiots watching the peaches!

Far too much food, but it was very good. Staff were very attentive. Not many diners on Thursday so, weak atmosphere. They deserve more.

Disgusting,Bland,tasteless and cold. Pretty much inedible. What was once a great curry,is sadly no more. We actually threw it in the bin and reordered from somewhere else.

The best Curry I’ve ever had, we are now weekly regulars , the chicken tikka Zara is Amazing 🤩

Always a delicious curry, I wldnt go anywhere else.

Fantastic delivery service. Our meals (8) were all labelled by name as requested, full breakdown of costs included with delivery and great food, as always! Thank you Prithi Raj Shoreham delivery on 12/4/24

Not been here for a long while . Still a Great place to enjoy delicious food. Service was great to. Prices were affordable.

I ring 20 minutes before close and they answered and said what would you like after talking I said I’ll ring you back literally 4 minutes later I said can I go ahead with the order and they hung up on me twice!! What a shame food is nice but they are so so rude for the money you pay for a curry I’d rather eat fish fingers if that’s what you have to put up with for a simple curry these days

Came here for a charity night and it was brilliant. Despite being super busy, everything came out correct and hot. All food was great. Will be back.

Wow ,this was a really nice curry. Havnt been here before ! most of the reviews I read wasn't inviting, But we will always try once. And so glad we did ,service very good and food tasted delicious and fresh ,will definitely be going again and will recommend to friends and family.

Great curries. You can bring your own booze, no corkage fee. You can book the restaurant for larger numbers for birthdays etc. They do the banquet meals for £20 per person, that's one starter, one mains and a side plus rice or nan.

Great food. Amazing meal deal on a Monday and Tuesday night for £19.95 per head. Starter,main,side,naan,poppadoms.

Recently refurbished, looks great! Food was delicious!! Good value.

Always been good food and good value. Has so much more choice than your typical Indian.

Ordered a take away this evening, missing nan bread, somosa was wet and greasy very dissapointing, avoid!!

Four of us visited on a Sunday. The food, as usual, was excellent. The price was very good. You take your own alcohol so the cost is kept down, which is important these days

Not sure that I want everyone to know about this gem of a restaurant! Fantastic food served by a courteous and professional manager. Best curry house in Sussex, just keep this between ourselves so we can still get in. 😉

Great food and fantastic staff. Highly recommend

Another yummy curry again this week Thanks very much.

I took 2 old friends (both in their eighties) on a Monday for an early dinner (6pm). My first visit (they had both been here before). Helen was pleased with her Chicken Passanda (hooray!) whilst Alan grimaced eating his King Prawn Alcoa’s which was much hotter than he anticipated. Not the restaurant’s fault of course. I had meat samosas as a starter which were hard and stale. The accompanying salad was good. My main of lamb tikka balti was surprisingly bad. The lamb was really tough and the balti sauce was a ‘sludge’. The accompanying keema fried rice (albeit a pretty meagre portion) was fantastic! All told I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted to like this place! Taking your own wine (no corkage) is great. Ali was the only waiter on duty. It looked busy for a Monday night and that guy didn’t stop. Sadly it made it all feel a bit frenetic. Might give it a go again but I’m not in any rush……

Food was not great. The sauces to the poppadoms were so strange, I've never tried anything like it. One of a kind but not in a good way. The curry's were okay nothing spectacular. Rice was ment to be included with the meal says on there menu how ever we got charged 7.90 and for 4 poppadoms and sauces they charged us 7.70 looking at their menu now the most we should have paid is £3.60 You can't get alchol here which was a first for us in a curry house not sure what we thought tbo When we asked to keep the bill receipt he was so reluctant. We now know why! We have Prof of over chargment. 2 curry's 2 rice a narn and 4 poppadoms 46.30 😯🧐 Staff here was also not cheery which is also a first for a curry house, normally the complete opposite. Avoid we came away really disappointed 😞

Food is great , vegetable curries are really good if you’re a veggie. Bombay potatoes were one of the best I’ve had

Ordered a take away at 6.10 and arrived cold at 7.35. Cold food so sent back with driver.

Excellent quality food and service with free popodom as usual and very good price with 30% discount Highly recommended Thank you prithi Raj

Always get our takeaway from here, lovely every time

Ordered delivery didn't arrive after 30 mins. Phoned to be told delivery was still at shop. 20 mins later I was advised that driver could not find my address ... strange as they had already delivered to me on more than 20 occasions. Won't be using again.

Fantastic food every time .Great service .Would recommend this restaurant.Its great you can take your own alcohol with you

Great service, amazing food, decent portion sizes, by far the best curry restaurant we have been to around Sussex. We continue to come here every 2 weeks. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Great Indian. Went for the Banquet, couldn't eat it all.Will be back.

Great food . Go mid week for the £17.50 2 course special. We were in a big group so brought our own atmosphere

Delicious food, great service and delivered to our door within 30 mins, thoroughly recommend.

AVOID or it will cost you dearly. Second time this has happened. When ordering a take away they have used my card details and my partners and taken hundred from our accounts. Scammers and thrives, and I have been using them many many years.

We had my brothers 60th Birthday Do lastnight with 30 people. What a great success mainly made by the Do itself but certainly the great food and staff which contributed to the evening. Thank you

Went with 4 friends on Saturday night, 7.30 booked table for, got starters at 9pm.still hadn't ordered main meal at 9.45..decided to leave..staff really didn't care !!

Absolutely first class service. They only asked for a small deposit before and I was able to leave the ballon and cake with them. They arranged seating for 18. They looked after the birthday cake until after dinner (banquet meals at £20 per head on a Saturday evening. One starter, one side, one main with rice or Nan of your choosing each. They brought the cake out with the candles lit to us singing ‘Happy Birthday to you’. Everyone said the food was excellent. We never felt rushed to end the night so as people left at different times and waited for taxis etc this was another plus to the generous customer service. They are not far from Lancing seafront and railway station (about 10 minutes walk). You can bring your own booze which obviously makes for a much cheaper night out. They provide glasses and don’t charge to open bottles etc, another plus for a great venue. I’m guessing capacity for about 30 seats max. Prithi Raj, Lancing is a win win!

Always love going here for a catch up with friends. Never disappoints. The food is plentiful and really fresh. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Really like that it's a bring-your-own drink restaurant as it makes it such a reasonable meal. Can't wait to return

Busy Saturday night but got good service and food came to our table of 10 within a reasonable time. Food was plentiful and tasty.

Had a table for 10, service was good although the restaurant was full. Food came out pretty much all together. The portions are generous and lots of choice. As you bring your own alcoholic drinks and there is corkage charge it makes a big difference to your final bill.

Lovely food, Chicken tikka Shaslik is to die for!

Had a takeaway today ordered for 5.30 and just as the clock ticked over to 5.30 the doorbell rang and they delivered. The food was excellent as it always is. Staff friendly and very polite whether it's on the phone or in person. Only downside was their ordering system was so slow tonight I gave up and rang them with my order. It was a gorgeous meal and far to much to eat

Delivery is usually late, been good 4 out of times

Ordered from this idian @ 17:30 it got delivered at 19:00, it was cold, phoned them back up to complain, and they said they would have another order out to us with 20/25 minutes, after an hour still no indian, so phoned them back up, and they said that they don't have many delivery driver's, they would refund me, but as a good will gesture we can have the delivery that it on its way for free, its now 20:50 nearly 2 hours of me originally complaining, and we are still waiting. We Ordered this through just eat. So to my acknowledgement, they don't have to accept the orders if they don't have any drivers. I won't be ordering from here again, as they are full of lies & send cold food.

Beautiful food and excellent customer service.

I had Lamb massalam. "Chefs special"! The meat was as Tough as old boots! Incredibly salty sauce and little of it. Others has disappointing meals too. My sons Dhansak was just liquid sauce lacking flavour. Miserable waiter. No ambience whatsover. A woeful experience! At least you can bring your own drinks! You'll need them!

3 hours for delivery, food cold and all leaked in bag, awful customer service

Food is extremely oily, the restaurant must have started using cheaper chicken because it was fatty and chewy. Been coming here for 15 years but I guess with the new ownership they are not setting the same high standard in ingredients and cooking as the previous owner's, time to move on and find somewhere else.

Very reasonable, good value and great food.

Terrible meal there I had Last month poppadoms where stale .prawn puree was terrible mains where not good either bill came to £98 .and j perso ally wouldn't of give them £20 .rude staff very unplesent evening

Ordered a takeaway and they forgot to put my order, when called to ask for missing items staff made me feel like i am lying and very rude. And the food was not up to the mark overall disappointment

Not a nice meal out, poppadoms was stale obviously from yesterday, chicken chat was mediocre at best, staff where rude and miserable. We have been there a few times but this was the absolute wort. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK AGAIN. Absolute rip off for over £90 aswell.

Unbelievably bad. Rice ok. Vegetable shahi so sweet disguised with chilli. Takka Dahl sweet edge. Half of family are Indian and are appalled by cheap ingredients not even the right spices . This is not a question of cost it is a question of taste! Your passanda packed with sugar should be a dessert.

Great choice of Indian food at reasonable prices,good service and the big bonus is to take your own alcoholic drinks which is a great saving.

Good fresh food without the usual bustle in some Indian restaurants.

First time visiting Prithi Rag, we went with family and we'll definitely go back! Food was amazing, very clean restaurant and the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great evening!

Horrible service, very rude staff, nor children friendly, never come back again!!! Asked extra £5 for doggy bag!

Great food, friendly staff and good prices.

Delicious meal. Poppadoms and dips were to die for. Brilliant service.

Several visits to this restaurant and the food gets better and better. Particularly recommend the deal available on Sunday and Thursday including any starter, side dish, main course, rice and naan excellent value at £17.50. Good service and you can bring your own drink which keeps the cost down further. Highly recommended!

Not the same since its changed owners.i found the owner quite rude ,he kept staring, didn't bother to come over and chat to us or make us feel welcome like the old owner used too...naan bread was so over cooked and crispy the cheese had gone hard inside...food definitely not up to scratch....

Staff were rude, we asked for tubs to take our food home, because we couldn't eat it, and he shook his head at us as we left, no wonder this world is becoming so insular, the service was appalling, we are paying you, !!!!

Great food, very friendly service, lovely atmosphere

we had dinner here - four friends enjoyed the food. Lengthy menu with some new (for us) dishes but all good and served hot. You can take in your own wine etc. as not available. All in all a good experience for us and we will go back.

Delicious food ,friendly staff lovely atmosphere and very well priced .

Had meal in restaurant,okay,nothing special,staff bit slapdash,not really that interested,used to be much better service I think sign of the times,have had much better takeaways so won't be returning

Very good food! Just note it’s being your own alcohol!

Love this place, visit at least once a month. Food always very tasty. Good value for money. Love the idea of bring your own alcohol but do have to buy soft drinks & mixers there. Staff very friendly. Would recommend

If you're looking for a really nice relaxing place to have a really good curry with really friendly staff, this is the place to go. Raj is a really friendly guy who was great to chat with. Definitely coming back here really soon. I need to go home and sleep now, as i ate to much😍

Always a great place to dine in or take out. Superb quality food with a friendly service. The buffet night is great value. £20 For a starter, main, side and a naan.

They delivered the wrong order. The apologised and said to keep that order and they will deliver mine in short time. After 1 hour of waiting I called the restaurant and asked about my order and I was reassured that they will check on it. I called them again after 15 minutes and they didn’t answer.

This is by far the best Indian in the area - to dine in or takeaway. Consistently great quality food. The service is brilliant and the staff are lovely. They have generous deals for dining in all nights of the week, BYOB with free corkage and a great range of non alcoholic drinks as well. This evening we were served by a waiter called Camron who was absolutely lovely, too! Highly recommended!

Firstly we have used Prithi Raj for years so this isn’t a hate review. We ordered our at 1900 and were told it would be with us before 2000. It finally turned up at 2035 and was cold. The Korma had spilled out into the bag and we were missing a pashwari naan bread too! We contacted the restaurant to arrange for a refund but we were told we needed to return our meal so a new one could be made! Please bare in mind it’s now 2045!!! I asked them to simply keep a credit note and we would simply re order at a later date and got told the best we could have was 20% off our next meal. Absolutely terrible customer service. Let us down with late delivery, spilled food and missing part of the order. They have sadly gone down hill and I got one will never use them again.

Food was so good. Bhuna spot on and best onion bhajees!

Great food served in a very friendly restaurant.

Ordered a take away online had a reasonable delivery time sent .30mins wait ,that's fine. Then updated to 15 mins delay !!! . Then that was it ! hour later I phoned ,No answer left a message with order number and contact number ,No reply . 1hour 15 mins later tried phoning again . Oh the guy said ,we've only just started your order 😒 . So 1hr 45mins later we received our order and it was cold🥶 .so not impressed 😕.

Worst experience ever had! If I could give no stars I would. Customer service appalling. Starters were fine and that's were it ends. The restaurant was empty except for many disgruntled takeaway customers waiting for their orders. So instead of being able to enjoy our meal it was interrupted by constant complaints and arguments from the kitchen. We joked it was like faulty towers little did we know. When our main courses were finally served they were lukewarm and the quality of the chicken was poor. We complained but just offered to reheat it! Not acceptable. So with a table full of cold food we said we would pay for what we had eaten and nothing more. We asked to see the manager but kept being told he was too busy. When he finally deigned to come out of the kitchen he was extremely aggressive and offered no apology and just demanded that we pay the full cost of the meal accusing us of trying to get a free meal despite all the dishes being full on the table. Needless to say we were unable to resolve the situation and left leaving contact details for the police who had supposedly been called. Wish we had not given them the benefit of the doubt when we arrived, there is a reason why a restaurant is empty on a Saturday night and unfortunately we now know why. Appalling!!!

Absolutely shocking service waited 3 hours for an order no answer on pnone from hour 1 to hour 3 went there for them to say they will cancel order not even cooked it, what a shocking example of what was a great take away used for years , will never use again and if you are wanting to eat anytime soon after ordering I would go elsewehere if I was you . AVOID , SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE, PUT PHONE ON DIVERT SO YOU CANNOT CHASE ORDER UP, ANSWER TO NO FOOD FOR THE EVENING WE WILL CANCEL YOUR ORDER , VERY NICE OF YOU THANKS I AND MY GUESTS WILL JUST GO HUNGRY AT NEARLY 10PM THEN SHALL WE.

Just had a delivery from here and the food was lukewarm and poppadoms rubbery .1st time I've ordered for a change and good reviews I read but due to experience I won't be again.im not happy it was a treat for partners late birthday.

Absolutely shocking service waited 3 hours for an order no answer on pnone from hour 1 to hour 3 went there for them to say they will cancel order not even cooked it, what a shocking example of what was a great take away used...

It's the first time we have been to this indian restaurant and we will certainly not be returning. When we first walked in we found it unusual that there were no other tables occupied for a Saturday night. Also there was a long queue of...

Went here with 17 other mates and had a great time. Food was top notch and the service was excellent.

Really disappointing, ordered food over two hours ago , still not arrived. No one is answering the phone to even let us know what is happening. Won’t order again

Food 45 minutes late , 3 things missing and stone cold rung the restaurant and they couldn’t care less. Don’t waste your money and use one of the other takeaway’s instead

I love their curries but their delivery service is awful. Nothing delivered after 90 minutes went to wrong place and when I called, just binned off and delivery was cancelled. A real shame. They seem to have forgotten about customer service. Avoid if you want...

Good food & service. Would return.

Lovely restaurant, food was really good but service was slow.

Best curry restaurant in West Sussex. I will be going there again. Staff were very polite and helpful. 10 out of 10.

have been going here for 5 years but this Saturday was terrible Food was almost stone cold \ staff were too busy and were more interested in takeaways and the money/would advise anyone to avoid and we as a couple will not be returning

The new Prithi Raj. Been going to this place for many years,eat in and takeaways. After a time of flux, I'm happy to say they're back to the amazing standard. Perfect curry and all the trimmings. You can still take your own alcohol, winner winner curry dinner.

Nice food. Well presented. Fair price. Not cheap. Can take own alcohol.

We were on a seven night stopover in Lancing and only found this lovely place on our last but one night. It didn't stop us from going back on our final evening and ordering another Zara chilli chicken each. So good. :)
