Red Chillies Indian Takeway in Brighton and Hove

I've been using this take away for about 5 years now but feel compelled to leave a review. This is one of the best curry takeaways in my area (Fiveways, Brighton) however the prices are rising, portions getting smaller with barely enough meat for a child let alone a hungry adult, the sag aloo (spinach and potato) barely half filled the small tin foil tray and they have started charging for minor substitutions even though the items swapped are the same price EG asking for a naan instead or rice (both £3). They charge £1 extra per swap The bags of salad and onion are much smaller now and they are charging for chutneys / mint sauce which used to be FOC. So in short it's just not worth the £££.

Think I was one of the first customers , always a great curry, fresh produce and good service. Eat approximately two curries a month here for the last three or four years, alwaydms good.

Food reasonably tasty, a bit 'red' a bit expensive. liked the egg in the biryani . But wouldn't rave. i. But ok. Downs were rather a lot of potato in veg dishes and we got 4 plastic bags of a very small amount of onion in each. As we ordered 5 main dishes this was ridiculous. Why not put 5 portions in 1 bag??? Clearly are not considering plastic pollution!

I wrote a bad review last time because of one person there who was rude. Wish I hadnt written that review because i ahve been here many times since and it is consistently great food with good service. Lovely surroundings and tasty good quality Indian food.

Had a takeaway for 9 people last night. Everyone really enjoyed all the dishes. Had a range of veggie and meat dishes- all delicious. Looking forward to going again.

The man on the till was so rude to a customer that I doubt I will ever go back, there are so many other places near here. Poor service is unacceptable.

Fantastic tasty fresh food everytime best curry in England been using them for 3 years and no curry comes close if you haven’t tried them you should you will not get a better curry than red chillies believe me well done guys x Steve Preston drove

The chicken Dansak,kodari was delicious which also came with perfectly cook rice . The Chicken was tender and very juice . The delivery driver was also very pleasant. Have had 2 delivery's in the last week cant cook at home for the same price. like a previously comment said 11/10 . looking forward to trying other dishes

Popped in and ordered face to face - to be greeted by smiles and a welcome from the cooks and front of house. Wandered to the pub across the road while the meal was being cooked. Food being packed as I returned at the appointed time - and again smiles and cheerful chat. The mains were Lamb Pasanda and Chicken Pathia; which complimented each other very nicely. Fresh, tasty nicely balanced - and there was plenty of it (enough for us to eat two meals from them). A single starter and a raita did for two - esp. with the complimentary poppadoms etc. Basically, for about £30.00 (inc. starters, mains, breads & rice) we had a blow-out evening meal and enough for a lunch the next day, so 4 very tasty adult meals. Totally recommended..

You won’t be disappointed, the flavours in the curries and the service is the best, 5 Stars from me!

I had a take-away from this restaurant last night. I ordered a Lamb Rogan Gosht, a cucumber Raita and a naan bread. They gave me a Gosht Kata Masala which was a simple sauce tasting of mostly of tomato sauce with a small amount of lamb some of the lamb was a little chewy, the naan bread was slightly elastic and sweet, the cucumber raita was a little watery. I was very disappointed and would have taken the dish back but I picked the meal-up at 10PM their closing time and decided to try It. It was a lot of food for £15 but not fresh healthy cooking as stated.

Food was pretty great! I had sag paneer, shashlick and raita. All very tasty. The chicken was pretty tender. Got a complimentary poppadom and naan. I will say best poppadom I’ve had in a while! Delivery was v quick

This is the best best food bye far in Brighton and hove I have ordered a chicken vindool and I tell you guys this is sooo sooo Amzing food really welcome really guys and best customer Serivce ever even the guy game me extra popdom and it’s was great

Still annoyed a couple of weeks later about the shoddy and rude service. Food was tepid and my daughters kids meal has less than a table spoon of frozen peas on her plate. Yep they were actually frozen like they just came straight out of the freezer with no exposure to hot water. When I made the complaint I was treated with contempt. Disgusting service.

This is the best curry in Brighton. We use this place regularly and the food is always delicious. They give great value for money, they are always on time with orders and they are a very pleasant, friendly and welcoming group of people. They even baled me out when my car had a flat battery! I recommend this place all the time to friends. I believe that it is the best in the city.

Have a takeaway from here every other weekend, Love love the paneer Achari shashlick still. Taka Dhal, varies but is usually good (I rate a good Indian by the TAKA Dhal) But other dishes still seem a bit samey and red! But tasty. Wish they...

Live quite far from the restaurant but I had heard such good things. Decided on a takeaway and ordered curry for 4. Dansak, Vindeloo and Korma. All amazing all fabulous. Thank you.

Me and my bf absolutely love the food here, often having a takeaway each month from here. Food is always delicious, great portions, and they always make us a peas rice which isn't on the menu. The nicest takeaway I've had by far! I recommend...

Excellent take away. They have an open kitchen so you can see that the food ordered is freshly cooked before it is delivered to your doorstep. The food was full of flavour and just the right level of spiciness. Delivery was prompt, food piping hot...

Had a delivery from here recently. Great onion bhaji, tasty chicken dhansak with plenty of sauce, nice fresh tasting spinach bhaji and a good mushroom rice. Friendly service, free poppadoms, onion salad and sauce for the onion bhaji. Good value for money all round.

Yummmmmm!!!!!!!! Simply yummmmmm!!!!!!!! Trying a new place can always be a little bit of a risk but this risk has paid off. Simply stunning food & were happy to accommodate my husbands request for a passanda but madras hot & it was incredible.

This little curry house was amazing we had a takeaway delivered free ! All dishes included pilau rice & papadom great value we ordered extra pickles & sauces too The flavours & texture were all tasty & delivered within an hour so order early Beats...

Great food. Great value. Very quick service, but then we do live very close! Chickpea shasna - yum yum. What's more to say :-)

Amazing food. I’ve been to a lot of curry houses in my 9 years in Brighton and this is hands down the best. Lovely guys in there too

We have regular takeaways from here as we love the Achari Paneer Shashlick, especially when it has enuogh of the chilli pickle in it (sometimes its a bit lacking). The other dishes are average, but consistantly ok. I do wonder why we always have so...

First off there is menu for this take away on line, so they said they would email me.one. it never arrived. So I called up and.ordered some generic curries including a tikka madras and.bombay aloo. The madras was.in a red acidic tikka sauce which tasted...

I’m not overly keen on takeaways but as my fridge/freezer broke I thought I’d try the local Indian takeaway. Red Chillies is a lovely place, great food and I’m vegetarian and enjoyed a freshly made vegetable dhansak and my son, a chicken tikka masala. We...

So goooood. Been in Brighton almost 2 years and this is best I've found. Fresh food, can see the people cooking it. And friendly staff. And thanks for working during this pandemic.

Have lived in Brighton for 2 years and this is by far the best one we've tried. I had a korma with cauliflower and potato with pilau rice, garlic naan and popadoms. Really good value for money!

Hi everyone, don't waste time going anywhere else, this IS the Best!!! Have lived in Brighton and Hove all my life and tried many Indian take aways from many different areas, not just locally but across the country. Being Vegan we have often been disappointed...

Yummiest curry although we ordered late at night on a friday, driver did ask for tip pretty rudely ? Either way it was our first time ordering here and we will definitely order again!

Excellent food, good value, friendly staff. All round brilliant. We will return to this lovely Indian restaurant.

La comida es genialPero desafortunadamente el repartidor no es una buena personaConstantemente exige consejos más grandes y es muy grosero.Anoche mi factura llegó a las 12 - 60Le di 20 y le pedí 5 cambios, pasó por su pequeño cambio y me dio un cambio de 2 a 00, luego se encogió de hombros y se fueSolía pagar con tarjeta por teléfono, pero los chiles rojos ya no hacen esoPuedo denunciar esto a la policía, ya que puede estar aprovechando otras personasIv usó este lugar desde que abrieronNo volveré a usar este lugar nuevamente y la única razón es el repartidor

We have order from Red Chillies a few times now and we have never been disappointed! Easily the best takeaway curry in Brighton and Hove. Order from here and you won't be disappointed.

Food is fresh, tasty and well priced. The garlic chilli chicken is our favourite. Lovely staff, always very friendly whenever we go into get our order. Highly recommend!

Primera vez ordenando desde aquí. La comida tardó poco más de una hora en ser entregada, pero valió la pena la espera. Pedimos un pollo dhansak, un vegetal dhansak, un aloe Bombay y un pan naan. He estado tratando de encontrar un buen curry de dhansak para llevar durante años en Brighton, ¡la mayoría que he probado son insípidas, agregan crema (yuk) o demasiado ajo! Estoy tan impresionado con este lugar con todo lo que pedí que los llamé para contarles. Muy recomendable y buen precio!

I am a regular take away customer and have always found the food delicious, hot and plenty of it.

Red chillies is fresh, delicious and the staff are so helpful. I have been looking for the best Indian food in Brighton and we found it here!

Got home today after ordering food and found that they had forgotten to put rice with my order. Phoned to complain about there oversite, told i should have checked before i left, really bad customer service, will take your money then tell you piss off if you've got a genuine complaint never go there again shame on them cannot give enough negative thoughts on there customer service

A truly delicious Indian experience that is full of flavour and texture. Made from scratch so you can take all the amazing flavours. The meat is succulent and fresh with real flavour. Fully recommend and it is the best curry house in Brighton by far.

The Red Chillies Indian takeaway has become a family favourite. Reasonably priced food which includes rice and poppadoms. I like that as it makes it simple to order. Tasty food and speedy delivery. Friendly and good value curry and has become very popular. The Key is to keep the standard of food and service high as they become busier. Time will tell. Yet to have a bad curry from here. We will reorder soon!

Our favourite Indian Takeaway in Brighton. Always fresh quality ingredients. Tonight they included a birthday message and some extra popadoms for my birthday which was a welcome touch. Thanks again Red Chillies 🌶 Excellent service and amazing fresh curry. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My favourite place to get Indian food in Brighton The staff are friendly and the food is always delicious!

We love indian food and that local takeaway the closest one to our home. Good prices, nice food! We like it :)

Some time ago we ordered a curry from the newest and nearest Indian take-away in our area; Red Chillies in Preston Drove, Brighton. The menu looks impressive with dishes we have not previously found at other places in the area. We ordered a Garlic Chilli King Prawn Bhoona, a Lamb Jallfrezi, a Zara Lebu, a Brinzle Bhajee, a Sag Channa and a Peshwari Nan. All of the mains came with Pilau Rice and a Papadom included in the price and everything was delivered piping hot, as you would expect from a shop that is just ½ a mile away.

I know things change and Take-Aways can start out great and go downhill, but Red Chillies is currently the best in Brighton. It had overshadowed our previous usual favourite that we have now used for years and we now come here.

Collected a takeaway from here with good expectations. Ordered a range of very different curries, but they all looked the same, a very bright but deep red colour, all a bit sweet and intensely rich (not in a good way). My naan and bhajis were ok but curry not great. Probably won't revisit

We now use this as our Indian takeaway. The place is really clean and the staff are helpful and friendly. We order the classic dishes which come with rice, popadom and usually some water melon and onion salad. We have starters which usually consists of onion bhajees, samosas, mixed tikka or reshmi kebab all of which are really tasty. Sometimes we order a bread of some description but to be honest the main dishes, of which there are many, are very generous in portion size. They will deliver free on orders over £12 but as we're quite local we order by phone then go and pick up the food. I can thoroughly recommend Red Chillies.

This takeaway is just around the corner and fairly new to the area so we thought we'd try it out. We popped in to order on our way to the park and they were very friendly and said they could deliver our meal in 45 minutes. We had just got back and put the plates in the oven when they delivered our meal. It was around £30 for the 3 of us. All the dishes included rice, papadom and onion salad. Portions were substantial and freshly cooked. Everything we chose was very tasty and as we couldn't manage to eat it all we had the leftovers the next evening.

Really great curry, and lovely chefs who always have a moment to say hello or wave if you pass by. I have ordered from here many times and the quality of the food is always amazing and not overly expensive.

We tried this as it’s relativeky new and gets a clean hygiene rating of 5 stars as well as a 4 star google review. What a disappointment! I have never had such thick sweet and deep red curry ever! Every dish! We had King Prawn Puri, chicken tikka mossala, lamb dish and a brinjal Bhaji side. Every one was deep deep red and so sweet!

Curry was awesome highly recommend also very good being able to see them cook it right in front of you

Had takeaway on Saturday evening. Food delivered when stated, hot and delicious.

Being a takeaway and collection only service, you can see the chefs cooking in front of you which I really like. It shows the level of hygiene these guys strive for so from the start, I feel good about how they prepare.

Bhindi Ghosh, Chicken Jalfrezi and Chana Masala - were all a little 'red', but tasty none the less. Some of the meat was a little dry. Does not seem to be a problem if the dish you want is not on the menu. A reasonable takeaway curry, potentially a good contender. Price about average for a home delivery - £22 included 2 rice and 2 nan breads. Would order again to try different dishes.

One of the easiest reviews I've ever written....In the words of Miss Tina Turner, this is simply the best (Indian takeaway in Brighton). Ordered a few times now, and each time I expect the last was a fluke and it won't be as good. And every time they keep proving me wrong.

Been here a few times now - amazing food , friendly staff, the best .Chicken Korma was sooo good! Chicken Madras amazing and the mushroom bhaji the best I've ever had.

Well cooked and tasty, tastes fresh and clean. Other takeways in the area are pretty average but this one stands out. I usually go for prawns which seem to be bigger than usual and more like king prawns. Collecting is like going into the kitchen - very open plan, clean and pretty busy, even during the week. No oil slick on top like in some indian takeways.

Not really. In fact they cook it any way you like but I was brought up India and I have to say Brighton is so lucky to have this place. I have tried most dishes (which are cooked in open kitchen in front of you) and they were all pretty much pitch perfect. These guys sure know how to tandoori chicken; breads and pretty much anything. Their dahl has a great complexity to it with cinnamon and a variety of spices that to me make it taste more Gujarati than Bangladeshi (where most of the chefs are from). But try anything really. It’s all freshly cooked and seasoned by their talented head chef who has worked in some of the best kitchens around in both here and London. I love this prawn Patia for example and their chicken jalfrezi has a real bite. The other thing that’s so great about the place despite the quality of the food it is incredibly cheap and what’s more everyone working there is just incredibly friendly. The best Indian in Brighton? More than probably. Definitely!

3 takeaways, each time delicious , fresh ingredients and not swimming in ghee ! Good service, extremely clean open kitchen and very friendly staff!

We are surrounded by Indian takeaways but Red Chillies is the best! Really tasty curry , great menu and delivered on time. Highly recommended

I had chicken tikka and salad and my friend had the tandoori mixed grill. It was some of the best indian food we’ve had

Visiting friends at the weekend, horrible weather, cold, rainy and generally very January weather.... my friend suggested Red Chillies.... and now i see why.

The best indian takeaway in Brighton with out a doubt , new exciting tasty dishes cooked to perfection #amazing

Really delicious food and it's good fun to watch it being cooked in front of you. Prompt service. Our new go-to takeaway.

I have looked for an Indian takeaway for a while here in Brighton and think I have found it.

Ordered a takeaway from here last night, only down point was it took an hour 15 mins to arrive. Was well worth the wait tho the best takeaway curry I have had in Brighton and I have tried a few!! Very tasty well cooked food. Will definitely eat here again.

The curry is cooked right in front of your eyes so you can see what is happening! My curry colour was perfect no pink nothing the right colour! This is the best curryhouse in brighton. Highly recommend this place!

Why is everything so PINK? Since when has sugar been a principal flavouring of Indian cuisine? On top of the lurid colours and hyperglycemia, one of the dishes was incorrect (which out of three mains was pretty sad). Only ate a few mouthfuls of my lamb Balti which seemed to have been prepared in a reduction of Brighton rock with little pebbles of meat. Despite my being pretty cautious and soon giving up on my food, I felt really ill that night and most of the next morning. Also seemed hugely more expensive than anticipated. It's a nope from me.

Very nice smart takeaway with fully open kitchen. It was nice and educational to walk down and see one if your dishes being cooked up while you waited. Quick ordering, friendly service, nice smart environment. Most importantly very nice food. You get rice, poppadoms and water melon per person as well as really good value. Nice addition to the area: they do deliveries too

I had high hopes of my first takeway from Red Chillies. The shop unit had been vacant for years and a lot of time, money and effort has gone into the refit. As I eat a lot of genuine curry at home, I was keen to compare this new venture with home-cokking.

We have used the Red Chillies takeaway on two occasions and on both have been thoroughly impressed with the food. It is also pure theatre watching the chefs prepare the food in full view of the lucky patrons. This is without doubt the best Indian takeaway in Brighton and Hove, and we count ourselves very lucky to have this jewel on our doorstep. I would strongly advise any potential customer to pick up rather than have their meal delivered, it is well worth watching the very competent chefs in action. The menu is also incredibly diverse, with curries I hadn't known before.

Newly opened indian takeaway owned by two really nice gentleman.The food is of good quality it has an opened planned kitchen where people can see the chefs cooking as they pass by the shops window.Will give other Indian takeaways in the area a run for their money.On a personal note would like to wish them all the best on their venture.My tip would be to order from 5pm_6pm and then 8pm and after as between 6pm_8pm stress on chefs and delivery will alter quality of foods.
