Quite literally the best meal I've ever had. With the low price and the tiny plates you are used to getting in restaurants now days I was not expecting the mountain of delicious food. I spent £60 and took home enough for two more meals. The lamb Chettinadu was something sent by gods! Also BYOB which is always a winner

Hove's best kept secret!!!! What an amazing restaurant serving authentic South Indian food. Service with a smile, brilliant atmosphere - what more could you ask for. I had veggie samosa's and chicken kothu which were both absolutely lovely. I lived in Sri Lanka for 6 months last year and I actually think the kothu I had at Madrasi's is better than any I had in Sri Lanka - and I had it just about every day. Also, it's BYO so you can save some money by nipping into Tesco's before for some wine. I can't wait to go back again - the dosa's look amazing - as did everything else I saw coming out of the kitchen.

I’d been recommended this restaurant by a friend and I’m so glad he told me about it. We booked a table for 10 guys at 8:30 so were their last booking for the night. The food was amazing, and the portion sizes were generous. The staff were warm and extremely welcoming. We were the last to leave the place yet at no point did we feel hurried or rushed. When the bill arrived, we were all amazed at how reasonable it was. All in all, the place was perfect for a group of mates to get together and have a great meal with fantastic service. Thanks Madrasi’s, we’ll see you again really soon!

It is the first time we have ordered anything from Madrasi’s and they came highly recommended. But we were really disappointed, I ordered tandoori lamb chops - they came totally frizzled with very little meat on them - I was lucky if I had a couple of mouthfuls. We also ordered Gobi 65 - you wouldn’t know it was cauliflower! The sauce of the butter chicken masala was quite nice but there wasn’t much chicken. We live very near the restaurant so we’re very disappointed that they charged £1.99 delivery. I’m sure their Dosa is probably really good but didn’t try it last night. Will give it another try.

I ordered a takeaway tonight for the first time from here. I didn’t like it at all. A biryani normally comes with a veg curry which this one didn’t. I don’t know if I’m just used to less authentic food but the flavour was different to what I’d had elsewhere and I didn’t enjoy it and left most of it. Staff were polite and delivery was super quick.

Sadly, the most bland south Indian meal I've ever had. Utterly disappointing Two weeks ago I ordered a mid week delivery and it was superb and really authentic, but a Friday take out was utter rubbish.

I've been here twice. The food is decent, but the service is horrendous. The small room can get extremely loud when it's full. If you are going there, make sure you don't have any other plans later. I had to ask 4 or 5 times before the lady gave me water, which was right in front of her the whole time. Both times, they bring you your curry first (after 45 mins) and then make you wait 10 mins for the naan while your food gets cold, lol. I don't say it easily, but it's really bad service.

Take away order. The masala dosa, sambar, and chutneys are the highlight. The naan is soft and delicious, not dry and crispy. The chicken tikka masala is dominated by tomato, and the butter chicken feels like it needs more time to deliver true depth of flavour. The samosas were extremely oily - won’t be doing those again. Overall could do with 50% less oil throughout. BUT we love this place because the meal is always delicious and fulfilling overall despite some minor issues. 8/10

The food was really good, authentic flavours and good portions. We had the chicken masala dosa and the sambar was just like we make it at home. Even the kothu paratha and chicken tikka was delicious. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the mint sauce they served with the chicken tikka- it was too sweet. Would prefer a mint chutney instead. Madrasi’s restaurant in Hove is definitely recommended!!

Amazing little place. Food was incredible - the deep fried cauliflower in sauce was probably the best thing I have ever eaten. Everything was packed full of flavour and the lady serving us went above and beyond. When an item was missed off the order she got it cooked to takeaway and took it off the bill completely! Only complaint is that it is quite a small and stuffy place which isn’t nice paired with hot indian food, but better than going to a low quality big chain restaurant. Will definitely come back.

Also the lamb chettinad.. flakey (mutton) yes flakey! And the sauce! Tried to kidnap the chef... this is 5* all the way. No liquor licence, so bring your own! The young women running the front was super considerate and checked after every dish served that we were happy, definitely coming back in the future!

My only observation is noone greets you until they are ready. There were 3 bar staff who said nothing to us while we waited patiently for a staff member whose role was seating us.A quick someone will be with you in a min is better than not saying anything at all no eye customer service is everything. However the people who served us were lovely friendly and explained the menu. A must visit we thought it was also value for money.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding! My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Pavel’s Indian Restaurant, and we were completely blown away! We ordered the Lamb Tikka Masala with Keema Rice and Naan Breads, and it was, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever had. The lamb was perfectly cooked, tender, and infused with rich, deep flavors. The sauce was beautifully balanced, with just the right amount of spice and creaminess. The Keema Rice was fragrant and packed with flavor, complementing the dish perfectly. And the naan breads—soft, fresh, and absolutely delicious—were the perfect finishing touch. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you’re looking for top-quality Indian cuisine, Pavel’s is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommended! 🔥👏
