The best restaurants in Ifield Crawley South East

Zari is a fantastic restaurant, we visit when we are in Crawley and love the authentic menu, attentive staff and clean, modern restaurant. This visit we enjoyed poppadoms and chutney tray, Laal Maas Lamb curry, Pilau rice and Sag Aloo / Brinjal Bhaji accompaniments. All delicious, we will be back !

We went yesterday with our son and daughter in law. My husband and I hadn’t been there for years. Lovely warm welcome by staff and locals. My husband and I had the liver and bacon it was sooo so good. My son and his wife really enjoyed what they had too. We will definitely visit again. Staff warm and friendly. We can see why one has to book its a popular place. Pity we don’t live a bit nearer we would make it our local. Thanks guys.

We were a party of three. Got a friend staying over and we wanted to go somewhere local and walk-able and with a dog also in tow. The one plus point is they are happy with dogs in the establishment. Tried this gaff before and not been impressed, especially with the food side. The beer, best not go there. If you don't drink lager, good luck with the one and only cask ale in sight. A Harvey's Best of questionable condition and quality. Over to the food. Standard pub grub fare you see anywhere. Hence starts the fiasco of ordering the food. Initial order was for 2 chicken pies, and one butter? chicken burger. This order was taken and promptly cancelled as they had "run out of these chicken pies- sorry". Ok, we said, lets go for one portion of fish and chips and 2 potions of chicken burgers. Minutes later an apologetic barmaid comes to the table we are at and says the last fish and chips portion has sold!. This was re-selected as sausage and mash and at last the order was processed! Food, arrived a few minutes later but only 2 potions. The second butter chicken burger meal was mysteriously missing. "with you soon was the stock comment". Twenty minutes later still no third meal. After chasing, it did actually arrive. We all ate it but were not impressed with the quality of the meals. Now we come to the bill. The fish and chips was still on the charge and was more expensive than the bangers and mash replacing it. This was queried but little was altered on the bill itself, but we were given a £1.20 something cash refund. By now, we had lost the will to live and couldn't wait to get out and go home. We are not passing customers, been in that pub since 1986 but on this showing, never again!

Quite possibly the worse chip shop that I've ever been too. Even the basic thing, the chips, they can't get right. The fish is cold on the inside, the sausages are tough, and the chips are soggy. And it seems dirty inside. It's a shame, because there's a lot of people that would love to use a local good chip shop, so maybe they should just sell up, retire, and let someone really turn it into something great.
