We go everything single Tuesday not only is it the most fantastic food - highly recommend the chicken and lamb tikka starter, chicken chaat puree , tikka massala is amazing , but the chicken and lamb shashlik is to die for, and the absolute must is the mushroom rice and saag also as sides washed down nicely with their pinot blush and an ice cold lemoncello!!! The service is always second to none every single member of the team is an asset run superbly by the lovely Kash who always goes above and beyond !

Chicken tikka was obviously cooked earlier and reheated as it had charred edges but wasn't crispy, onion bhajis just tasted of old oil but couldn't taste any onion, chicken madras was lacking in madras, chicken chilli masala had no spice, chicken tikka masala was OK but nothing special. I read some of the reviews beforehand which said it was good, very disappointed there's no decent indian restaurants in Hailsham.

Food is excellent, so delicious! Very attentive staff. One negative comment: please tell your tall waiter not to stand around staring at the customers whilst we’re eating, he made us feel very uncomfortable. Maybe stand in the bar area not watching over us. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The Rajdoot has a good menu and the food matches up to its promises - hot, tasty and ready on time. not very often I pick out a side dish as outstanding but the bhindi bhajee was something special.

Superb. Service is very friendly and attentive. Food is exceptional. Menu now includes VAT which means they read and act upon their reviews. We had a wonderful anniversary meal and look forward to our next visit. The only minor is that the carpets need replacing or a steam clean to remove some staining.

All 6 of us had excellent food here. The chicken was so tender and a delicious sauce. Great service, all the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back!

The worst meal in my entire life Well, chicken madras is not watery tomatoes soup with some chicken thrown in it without any spice , whoever the chef is here clearly has no idea how to cook Indian food, coming from an Indian family I clearly do know . and having eaten in numerous Indian restaurants for over 40 years I can confidently say that this was the worst attempt at a madras ive ever had the misfortune to eat, the staff were pleasant but the chef, well , someone needs to have a word !

I went in and ordered a takeaway. Chicken tikka dansac plus rice, side dish and nan. Got home expecting the usual colour and taste of a tikka dansac. Red smoky flavour thick sauce. Didn't get either. White chicken, either old or over cooked thin sauce. It's sad when you say best part was the nan.

Had my birthday supper here last night. The food was great and the service impeccable. We have the Chicken Tikka Korai and the Lamb Jholpuri. Portions were enough that we had lots to take-away. I am visiting from the US, will be here three more weeks, and I will definitely be coming here again before I leave.

Booked a table for 4 people, about an hour before we needed it. Great welcome, straight to table. Not too crowded, well laid out.Coats collected. Swift and attentive service. Helpful advice on dishes. Food was lovely, good portions. Prices seemed fair. All seemed to match a 5/5 rating. Thank you!

Went here for a Tuesday night meal for two, usually it is really good here with great staff. Unfortunately the staff have changed and the food is inedible. No one checked back on us, so we sat with two full plates of inedible food for 28 mins until an Eastern European lady asked us if we had finished, we explained that the food was inedible and she took it away. The lady informed us that her manager would come and talk to us, but unfortunately in the time it took her to take the plates her manager had gone home. No discount was offered, no apology was offered. Needless to say we paid our bill for the food that was inedible and left. We will not be returning and we advise that you don’t either.

I visited this restaurant and after a very tasty meal I received the bill and it was 20 per cent higher than expected because they add 20 per cent vat on the bill. This made the bill more expensive than top London Indian restaurants. I don’t know if this is illegal but I don’t know any other restaurant that does this shady practice. It is a pity because the food was good but I will not be be visiting this restaurant again.

Starting on a plus, we were warned that one of our choices for a main was exceptionally hot so chose another. We also offered to collect our meal from our main car park as our house is a bit difficult to find, but the driver arrived at the door. Then our disappointment followed. The alternative choice meal was flavourless and seemed to miss some spice ingredients , the madras was 'yellow' like a korma and no heat/spices Just a few chunks of chicken in a sauce. My Pathia was reasonable (lucky me). Unfortunately we will look elsewhere next time.

The 2 good things about this place were a. the service which overall was polite and attentive (not intrusively so) b. the food - we founds this place to be one of the better meals we have had at a traditional Indian Restaurant. The negative is that you have to add VAT to the quoted prices and overall the food was relatively costly - five pounds once VAT in for a keema naan say or £1.20 for a poppadum..., Wine around £22 for a house bottle.

Every dish we ordered was awful. The meat was over cooked & tough, prawns were over cooked aswell. Rice was stuck together. Lacked any sort of nice flavour. Total waste of money. Avoid this place!

This is the worse place I’ve ever got a takeaway from manager is rude so is the delivery driver and the person that answers the phone.ordered of set menu for family of 4-5 Which two of the curry’s are meant to be spicy and a madras which is Madras' served in restaurants can vary in spice and are usually hot or very hot, red or brown this one was like a korma the all the curry’s tasted the same the Somosa had mash potato in it the peshwari naan tasted like washing up liquid the manager told me my mother in law done that to it .this place should be shut down and be reported to food standards they should change there name the food isn’t Devine

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. I’m celiac and have a dairy allergy, tiffin2go always take extra care with my order. They’re one of my few trusted places. The food is really good and the chef is lovely. We drive here from Eastbourne because it’s the best. If you’ve allergens I would recommend. The tarka dahl is something special!

VERY SLOW SERVICE. Waited 1.5 hours for us to get served our food. However, the obvious reason was to get us ordering more drinks. Restaurants make more profit selling drinks!! As soon as we asked about our food, they miraculous came within 2 minutes. The chicken was so stringy - more likely left to heat whilst we were waiting and drinking. The cubed salmon was overcooked and skin so charcoaled/black, it's not edible. The veggies were rubbery. They suffered the same fate as the stringy chicken 🫣🫣 They must know that the quality of food was underwhelming, judging by how much uneaten food was left. Better Luck Next Time But Somewhere Else.
