Just returned back to our holiday home after trying this Indian. My daughter has an onion allergy and they were fab with it all. Her food was the best Indian ever had and the chef came out to speak to her which was a lovely touch. All our food was fantastic Wish we lived nearer thank you x

Just had a takeaway, it was absolutely awful, obviously you have a new chef, it was always good, but tonight it was burnt, tasteless and even the dog wouldn't eat it. In fact after one mouthful, it went straight in the bin. I won't be coming back, unless you update your chef, you wasn't even busy (I wonder why?) Sort it out, you was always my best Indian takeaway.

Take away for 4 ordered. I thought I'd lost my sense of taste, seriously. Chicken dansak, with no flavour, so ask hubby for a taste of his ceylon, yes it was hot, but again, no flavour !? I'm sat watching our friends grind salt and pepper over their meals... they need to get the basic gravy right.., WITH SOME FLAVOUR before adding meat. Absolutly disgusted. Onion bhaji... dry, and hard. Pompadom, not fresh, and the peshwari naan... chewy.... this place used to be the place to go, maybe a change of chef ? Either way, none of us were enjoying the meal

Lovely food in a comfortable, modern restaurant. We had the crab dish and shashlik with a lovely cashew based side and roti.

We've been using Raipur for many, many years, both eating in and takeaway, and always recommending it. Unfortunately, we had a totally tasteless takeaway recently. I wrote to the restaurant privately via their website comment form but they didn't respond. I was more disappointed that they didn't respond after being such a loyal customer than I was about the tasteless food.

Very good food, excellent service, one of the better places of this kind I have visited. The venue is clean and just a little basic. However excellent food service and value we would visit again.

Excellent food and extra friendly & helpful staff. We arrived dripping wet after a massive downpour as we walked along the coast from Normans bay where we were staying. We were warmly welcomed, the food was brilliant and they were happy to order us a taxi to take us back.

Outstanding quality of service, of cuisine, of the whole experience. You won’t find better, anywhere. The menu is not your usual array of ‘the old favourites’. Yes, they are there but this venue offers Indian ‘fine dining’. Just great !!

Fantastic service, fantastic food especially the chicken garlic rice and chicken madras, the cheesy garlic naan is also “to die for” (meaning brilliant) would 100% recommend the staff are friendly and the restaurant is clean!!

I already love this place which is why I picked it for our team outing. Even though our party of 9 requested individual orders, these guys could not have handled it better, they learnt all our names and every order was spot on. The whole restaurant was busy but we still had the full attention of our waiting staff. The food, as usual was delicious and all arrived at our table at the same time. I can't say enough about my personal favourite dishes, the salmon is the best I've ever had and the onion bhajis are second to none. Thank you for a brilliant night from the LWC girls.

We visited as a family to celebrate my daughters birthday. The restaurant's decor is beautiful. All our meals were fantastic, really tasty , everyone's choice of curry had just the right amount of heat but still able to taste the different layers of spices. The onion bhaji were incredible, lovely and crispy outside but softer inside. The best I've had. Everywhere was spotless, gleaming polished cutlery the place looked as if it had only just opened it was so clean. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. I will certainly recommend this place to people . Best meal I've had in years

Was staying at a local airbnb and researched a local Indian. Reviews was good so gave it a try. Absolutely amazed at the welcome we received for our reserved table of 6. We ordered drinks starters and mains. Everything was tasty and plentiful. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We had a cake, to celebrate. Service with music and choice of music after was available, which we gladly welcomed. Complimentary drinks for the table at the end. We was all pleasantly surprised at the bill, which was so cost effective for the tasty food. Was unbelievable value for money. We travelled up from London, but honestly would make the journey again. The food was that good. Would highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely phenomenal, couldn't fault this darling restaurant situated in Pevensey. It was highly recommended by our bnb host and when myself and five other friends arrived and sat down we knew we were in for a treat. Very kind and helpful waiters, lovely background music, clean, crisp and modern decor. The menu was well laid out and good translation of each dish. From the starter and main course we were greatly impressed. Shining and clean cutlery, glasses and crockery. The food was so tasty, each dish with its unique taste simply delightful. My best friend was made to feel very special as they dimmed the lights and changed the music to Happy Birthday as they brought out her cake. We were not rushed, just left to enjoy the evening. It is definitely not over priced and well worth it. Thank you Raipur Staff.

Having eaten here recently I was looking forward to our meal. Booked for 7pm. Ordered drinks and food. Popadoms to start which came in good time. Then we waited and waited. Had to ask for drinks and twice asked where our mains were and was eventually served at 8.45pm. The waiter was quite rude to us aswell. They were busy and seemed short staffed as the chef was helping clear the tables at times. Had one of them been courteous and just explained that they were falling behind and there was going to be a wait for our food, and checked in on us for top ups of drinks then that would have been perfectly fine. It doesn’t take much really and can make all the difference. The food was lovely. I really can’t fault that but by the time it came is was rather late. So very disappointed and did not leave a service charge and have been put off. Maybe better not to go on a weekend. What a shame.

Very disappointed by the customer service tonight at Raiper. All of us have previously eaten out at this restaurant so were looking forward to a good night out. Couldn’t fault the food but once we had eaten and finished our meal they couldn’t wait to get us out. From presenting the bill to clearing the table around us,made us feel very unwelcome. The restaurant was half full so not as though we were keeping them up or preventing new customers. We don’t go out much so disappointed our custom meant so little to them in these difficult times.

Restaurant itself was very clean as were the toilets. Tables had sufficient space between them to allow you to leave your table without having to squeeze through past other diners. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Raipur is an extremely modern looking Indian restaurant and the place was buzzing the night I visited. I always go for the vegetable side dishes and was pleased to find some out of the ordinary ones not usually found on the average Indian restaurant menu.I went for the Tarka Sagdal and Niramish with a chapati. (Niramish is shredded cabbage and carrots with coconut, chili and curry leaves).The dishes were excellent and the dryish Niramish went very well with the Tarka Sagdal. As you can see from the photo I also got a free portion of Bombay potatoes... maybe because I looked hungry, or probably because the restaurant was about to close.Friendly staff and excellent service. Free wifi.

This place must have changed hands, it used to be superb. Last night I ordered what I ususlly have and asked for lemon rice instead of the pilau rice and was refused! This also happened to my son who asked for garlic rice. We then decided to leave so the chef agreed to make the change just this once but told us if we came again we would have to have the pilau rice that came with meal. I could understand if it was a big change but just asking for a different rice which we were quite happy to pay extra I feel unacceptable. Also the fish dish I ordered used to have large pieces of fish but today was more mush, I must say it did taste very nice but I missed picking out the prawns etc.

I usually love this restaurant, tonight I ordered what I normally do , lamb Madras , chapatis, onion Bhaji . When my food turned up there was no mint sauce to complement my bhaji . I called the restaurant, and to my surprise the guy who picked up informed me that it doesn’t come with the sauce or side salad!!!! Of course unless u you ask for it , he then went on about ordering 5 dishes , ( this was mot my intention) It’s always come before . Very disappointed and rude customer service ! You have put me off with your rise attitude!

This restaurant came highly recommended but fall short of its promise. The service for a Thursday evening was very poor, starters placed on table with no cutlery after staff were asked food was now cooled off. Then main courses arrived this time part missing again await the delivery of the roti, which was lovely and fresh but the curry again cooling off. Such a shame as the food did taste lovely but poor service ruined it.

We visited on a Wednesday evening during our holiday. The restaurant looked very smart and clean and had been impressed by the menu online.Firstly the 'host' needs to work on his hosting skills. No smiles or hellos and gestured to rather than led us to our table - charming start.The food was good, really generous serving of poppadoms and sauces, lots of meat in the curries. All fresh and well cooked. My big disappointment was the katchumber - maybe I've been spoiled in the past having experienced this before as lovely diced salad elements flavoured with Indian spice and heat... At this restaurant it was a bowl of lettuce and tomato with 2 chillies shoved in! The service was quick and attentive. However one point on this - we took my two year old. Unfortunately their highchair was broken which meant she had to sit in a chair...Any parent can imagine how this went and she did end up making a bit of a mess. At this point it was about 8 o'clock and many adult tables were coming in. In total the waiter came over 5 times to ask to clear our plates despite it being obvious my eldest was still eating. The children were being so well behaved and it just felt very obvious they wanted us gone which did put a dampener on the meal.Overall good food, well-priced, nice surroundings and efficient service, they just need to work on friendliness and particularly family friendliness.

We were recommended here and easily booked a table for 2. Good distancing etc and the menu looked amazing, much more than on link here. Started with Lamb Barra Kabab which were supposedly ‘slow cooked in tandoor to perfection.’ Well they were black on the outside and almost raw in the middle more reminiscent of an applied blowtorch, the flavour was ok but they begged for slower cooking. The chaat hub had was another speed casualty, the chickpeas still hard and raw. Mains I chose murg ki shaag o rana and it was very good, chicken breast stuffed with spiced lamb in a beautiful sauce. Hub had chicken Nigren which was very fresh and tasty but also ordered okra side dish. You know when okras been slow cooked and develops a lovely flavour and glutinous texture? It didn’t. Once again almost raw. When paying the bill the waiter said completely unprompted and I quote ‘ were very busy we don’t have time to give to the customer and make their experience’ the waiters were fine I would suggest the chefs need to take more time developing taste and textures. People will wait.

Went there for my sons birthday. I had the stuffed chicken breast. Was absolutely delicious until I pulled a 6 inch black hair out of my mouth that had been in the lamb stuffing ! Told the guy waiting on us and instead of an apology I was basically accused of putting it there. My hair is bleached ! Would of gone back for the food had an apology been given, I mean accidents happen. How ever 7 of us wont go back because of the unapologetic accusatory attitude of the staff. Left upset which spoilt. Very disappointing. If you want to be insulted then this is the restaurant for you.

Our dining experience was totally spoiled by the service. We had to wait for an hour and a quarter for our food to be served - all the while watching a constant stream of takeaway food leaving the restaurant. It made us feel that as we were there they just wanted to serve us more drinks and weren't bothered about getting our food to us as we were a captive audience. We won't go back as there are other restaurants locally where we have had better service.

We were staying locally and had heard good things. We ordered a takeaway to be delivered as we have young children and were only two minutes drive from the restaurant. The man answering the phone is incredibly rude. Left my husband waiting on the phone whilst he answered other calls. He called back to find out how much longer our food would be to be told they were busy and were running 30 mins late. He promptly hung up the phone on us. The food eventually arrived (half an hour late) and it was cold and the chicken was so dry! Very disappointing and won’t be ordering from there again.

Ordered a delivery while staying on a local campsite.Was told it could take as long as 75 minutes, which I was happy with, and it arrived in 45 mins. So you can’t argue with that. A bit of under promise / over deliver - clever. The bloke dropping the meal off was very polite.The meal itself ...well I saved the best bit to last. I had a prawn jalfrezi (my go-to curry) and it was right up there with the very best I’ve ever eaten! 10/10! My wife had a vegetable Korma, with onion bhajis. She loved it. And the Bombay Potato, again, was superb. All-in-all one of the very best curries we have had - just a shame The Raipur is based in Pevensey and not Portsmouth. If you’re visiting Pevensey and you fancy a curry, you won’t be disappointed with this place.

Visited on a Friday night. Restaurant was 75% full. Good friendly attentive service. All the food was presently beautifully, it really looks good. The poppadoms were the best I’ve ever had, a basic thing at an Indian, but such an important part to get right, and often places get it wrong. I was a little disappointed I was put off from ordering what I had chosen by the waiter, he recommended something else which I didn’t really love. It was nice but not what I wanted which ultimately put a dampener on the whole experience. My wife’s dish was really good, tasted great and was presented on one of those sizzling plates. Would visit again, but will order what I want, not what the waiter wants. Would recommend for all occasions as the restaurant is very smart and all the presentation of everything that comes out looks really class.

I have dined at this restaurant a few times with friends. They do rush you to order your main course when you are still eating your starter. But I decided to order online and collect for 20% discount on cash payment. We spend £33.10. The person on the till was rude and unfriendly and charged me 26.50. Maybe only 2p but they still shouldn't do that! So unpacked order at home. 2 poppadoms, one obviously burnt and looked completely different to the other. Salad was in a plastic bag and not a nice fresh plastic container. Both main courses were swimming in cooled fat. The prawn starter was old and stale and chewy, not fresh at all. I will not visit this restaurant again or order a collection again even though they are within walking distance.

Just the worst Indian style food I have ever had. It was swimming in oil and really bland. The food and alcohol is seriously overpriced and we were charged for a chutney tray we didn't order, we assumed it came with the papadoms. They had the tablecloth off before we had even finished. Rubbish place, never going back.

First visit to the Raipur on friends recommendation. Situated just on the outskirts of Pevensey, the parking is good. The restaurant is very clean, light and tasteful decor. Friendly staff. The food choices are large and innovative. Each dish arrived colourful and beautifully garnished. Drink and food prices reasonable. Will return. Booking essential.

There were 6 of us dining at Raipur on 14th September 2019 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food. I have eaten in many Indian restaurants in my life and I must say that the curry meal which I had was one of the best which I have ever tasted.

We have been visiting this restaurant for 6 or 7 years. It’s always excellent. The food is always tasty, plentiful and beautifully presented. We have visited with friends and family and recommended the venue to many others. The service is attentive and unhurried, we strongly recommend you give them a try!

We booked a table here during a stay at a local hotel. Living in Birmingham, home of the curry, we are spoilt for choice, however the food here was to a very high standard and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It certainly wouldn’t be out of place in Birmingham, so if you ever open a restaurant here please let us know and we will definitely visit it. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you

first visit but had heard it was excellent. The food was really good and looked appetising in all the dishes and they didn't disappoint. The quantities were a good size and could easily be shared if you wanted to sample different dishes. The staff were friendly and professional

Visited today, lunchtime for our wedding anniversary whilst on holiday in Pevensy. As it was lunch time it was very quiet, but food was all cooked fresh and cant fault any of it. Lovely

Asked some locals about the best place to eat on a visit to this sleepy coastal town, All recommended this restaurant. Very different to our usual places. Interesting and varied menu. Our starters, salmon for wife and prawn puree for me. Both excellent. The main courses were just as good. Service was spot on and the prices fair. all in all I could not fault this place. Highly Recommended.

We had a delicious meal with friends. We all decided to go for the set menu (for 4) which gave a good variety of Thai food. The atmosphere was buzzing. Staff were very friendly, thank you for a lovely evening!

Had a takeaway last night which was lovey as usual, most impressed with the delivery driver whom I gave too much cash to. He was honest and returned to explain my mistake with the overpayment 👏

we ordered a takeaway tonight . we would have visited but my wife had been unwell earlier in the day and was dressed in her Jim Jams . we have not used the Royal for several years as we had been disappointed in the past , but it has been well patronised recently so we thought we would give it another chance . we won't make that mistake again . we like our Indian meal to have fresh zingy flavours with things like fresh onions and capsicum , alas that didn't happen . the sauce for my lamb Bhuna must have come out of a tin - it was just a mess of bland puree and the lamb came complete with lumps of fat and sinew . yuk. my wife's Chicken Tikka Masala was no better , the chicken falling apart (re heated?) in a sauce the colour of old white emulsion paint . anyway , you get the picture . Sorry Royal but we will never darken you door again

Ordered from here and it cost £35 for plain rice, chicken fried rice, sweet and sour vegetables, crispy chilli chicken, chips, salt and chilli chips and spring rolls. First of all, the spring rolls didn’t arrive and the chicken dish was wrong. we couldn’t get through to the restaurant. The sweet and sour vegetables were absolutely disgusting, didn’t taste of sweet and sour and had a horrible smell. The rice was alright (how hard is it?) and the chips were very plain. I am a vegan and ordered the sweet and sour vegetables as there is the standard green leaf next the dish on the menu but I found a small bit of chicken in the sauce. It did only take about 15 minutes to arrive but the food was so disgusting, we couldn’t eat most of it. For £35, we each ate rice and chips as the main dishes were so god awful and inedible. Would not recommend at all, don’t do it to yourself.
