The best restaurants in Pound Hill South and Worth Crawley South East

My better half and I stumbled across this venue the other week when only outdoor seating was permitted. Had a pint and tried some of the Indian starters. Absolutely blown away by them so decided to return for a full on meal once indoors was open. So glad we did. I’m of Indian origin and I would say it was the best Indian meal, besides my mother’s, I have ever had in the UK in my life. That is high praise and definitely warranted. This is a relatively new venture and to that end the dining area is being slowly but surely brought up to par with the food. The dinning area is clean and functional but not particularly atmospheric, that is however all forgotten about when the food arrives. The chef takes great pride and on both occasions came to see us. He is very welcoming and has a great insight and wealth of experience in many types of cuisine. So I would throughly recommend this venue to eat and am already planning my next visit to try other dishes on the menu!

Rude and awful attitude. App does not work at weekends and phone not answered. Walk in service is also poor, you are given a ridiculous wait time

We went for early dinner on a Saturday night, spur of the moment. It's a very big restaurant so it didn't feel particularly warm on arrival, we needed to keep our coats on for a little while. However the interior of the restaurant is pleasantly designed, but the lighting lets its down, in that it is far too bright for the evening ambience. The food was very nice though, couldn't fault it at all. To start we had vegetable samosas and hummus with Turkish bread, absolutely divine! For mains my partner had the mixed shish which he enjoyed and I had the Dem Shish creamy chicken which was out of this world, really delicious. We ended our meal with the baklava and Irish coffee. We would definitely go back for the food alone, but the ambience spoils a romantic night out.

Absolutely fantastic authentic food great value for money and tastes supreme would definitely recommend great service and fresh food served with a smile cant wait for next one

Thank you Melanie, you were a great waitress and made our evening really pleasant. We were a group of 7 and the service was great! We enjoyed great food, reasonable prices and a relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely return.

We've been before in the week for lunch and it was OK. As family were visiting we tried it on a Saturday (had been warned to avoid Sundays) but it was terrible (not even busy). Shouldn't have opened the restaurant as clearly no where near the staff needed. Food service extremely slow, mains were edible (just), pudding was better. Extremely doubtful that we will now return. This has been a real let down.

The chips are very nice and 100% recommend 🔥🔥 Friendly staff although supports Crystal Palace, booo Up the Villa⚽️ Lovely meal, would def come again!

As always excellent service and excellent food. Never disappointed. Food is always ready in time and always hot when we collect.

On approaching the restaurant walked past 3 kitchen staff smoking sitting on the grit bins. Booked table online as thought maybe busy but was surprised to find it quite quiet, took ten minutes to get the attention of the waitress to order our drinks and food and then another 50minutes for me to ask and point out that our food was waiting on the serving hatch for the last 5minutes. And then waited an age for us to be offered the desert menus to de the staff then clearing a table that had been left for an hour. The salad bar was poor and half empty and hearing families being told it would be an hour and half for a table when there was only a max of 4 tables with people eating didn’t seem right. On speaking to a staff member was told it was because they have been taken over by the hawth and half the staff have been sacked and the the rest have been cut right back so was only two serving staff on shift.

We made a big order of pizzas to be delivered at work place. The big boxes of pizzas were delivered in time and very warm - freshly cooked. There’s also drinks available. As we ordered big number of pizzas the management gave us two extra boxes for free. Brilliant 🤩 deal!!!
