The best restaurants serving Asian food in South East

2nd visit after a previously wonderful experience as a couple,this time with friends and family Total contrast .....greasy pakoras (3 portions on the table...no sauces) Bhajis ....some people's were raw ,one was burnt and raw inside My madras...a 60/40 mix of chicken pieces with huge chunks of tomato The naan bread was the only positive We were very disappointed The staff this time weren't any from the previous time and I'm not aware of it being taken over so why was it so slow ...the naan and rice coming out 5 minutes after the mains The restaurant wasn't full for a Saturday and we had an hour interval between courses Not knocking the staff but come on guys....you can get it right so why was this time so terrible ....won't be back I'm afraid

Had a takeaway from here and the portion was tiny (tofu). Wouldn’t go again

Had really nice Katsu Chicken Curry today with a very generous large portion. Service was wonderful despite it being so very busy. Thank you.

DON’T GO HERE. Went to this restaurant at 7.30 p.m on a Sunday night. Just a couple of other diners, but they left soon after our arrival. It was obvious from the start that they knew they were not going to be busy, so the quicker they could get us fed and out the better for them. It was a constant rush. Immediately we were told that they closed at 9 pm, their website says 10 pm, which annoyed us, even before we had eaten we were told this. Then it was all systems go. We ordered a bottle of wine with our meal only to be told half way through it that we could take the rest of the bottle home if we wished. In other words, hurry up and drink it or take it with you. They were even rushing us through that. Waiters were constantly coming over to ask us to choose next course. Food was very bland and unappetising, Balti was a disaster on a plate. By 8.30 pm two of the waiters already had their coats on ready to go. No hot towels were given, after all, that would have added 2 more minutes to our stay and that wouldn’t do would it? Bill was presented before we had even asked for it. I have never, ever, been an Indian restaurant where you were simply not wanted or welcome. In my experience and I have been in many, many Indian restaurants, staff are welcoming and are very pleased you have chosen to dine there. Maybe they wanted to get home and watch Big Brother or something, who knows. We were calling an Uber for trip back, but felt so unwelcome and uncomfortable that we waited 15 minutes outside, in the cold, for it to arrive. They were even hoovering as we exited. So, save yourself money and indigestion and PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU ARE APPRECIATED.

The food here I have generally always thought of as a better quality than any other local Thai restaurants which I accepted the higher prices for. Having spent two years living in Thailand eating only Thai cuisine, and being able to speak some of the language also, I was unfortunately disappointed in the lack of 'dining out' experience we had here. Not even a single candle or a flower at the tables, they were literally bare. No authentic decor or staff uniform etc. There was a portable gas fire in the middle of the restaurant for heating which didn't help the overall ambience; it just felt much more geared up to being a takeaway venue with a few tables for good measure than a lovely restaurant experience. The same food in a different environment would have tasted much better I'm sure!

I went to Korea for a few times for business purposes so I have good knowledge what the food should taste like. The good point, to begin with, is generally the dishes were cooked to a good standard. The bad point, however, is that the portion size is really poor especially on rice/noodle which isn't enough for 1 person to be filled. Looking at the final bill, I think maybe I should go to central London?

The days of a cheap curry are over but this restaurant still represents fair value for money compared to others in the area. The entrance is not too inviting, as it is tucked away but once inside it was pleasant enough. The staff were attentive enough without being over powering leaving us to enjoy the generously proportioned food. All in all we could not find anything to complain about so comes with our recommendation.

We had our second meal here and once again it was delicious! The food is freshly prepared and very authentic. I would highly recommend the jungle, red and panang curries.

Main course of green chicken curry was a thin sauce with tiny amount of chicken and two or three small vegetables. Half a tea mug of rice. Lacking in flavour. Extremely overpriced and disappointing. Basically a soup. The starters were variable, the chicken wings were very nice at least, and the bottled beer was cold. Despite the friendly service, there must be a better Thai restaurant for the food in Brighton.

We had ordered a chicken Jalfrezi two weeks ago along with a Lamb Bhuna, Bombay potato and sag matter. These were very oily and Greasy, they were literally swimming in Oil.So when ordering this time round, we made a very strong point of this and ask to make sure this isn't the case again. Again our food was Drenched in oil, so much so that when our food was taken out the bag the whole bag, containers and bag were full of oil. Very sickening.

Extremely tasty well cooked fresh food, thoroughly recommend, as good value, good atmosphere. Very friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely visit again.

Have been ordering from Gaanchil for years and never had a problem always lovely food and speedily delivered. Tonight food 40 minutes late, chicken tikka was tasteless , tough and accompanied by raw onions and no salad no mint sauce. The cauliflower bhaji had a watery sauce that tasted of raw spices. When queried where order was told running behind so very disappointing.

I was taken to the Spice Tavern by friends for an early meal yesterday evening August 12th. I am disabled and have an assistance dog. We were refused entry with my dog and were told to leave her in the car. As the temperature outside was 30 degrees, that was not going to happen! Needles to say, we will not be going there again or recommending it! We went to the Black Horse in Hookwood, Horley where my dog and I were made very welcome and we had an absolutely delicious curry

I used to live in Portsmouth but moved away eight years ago, and I remember coming here a long time ago. We ordered king prawn fried rice, mushroom chow mien and prawn toast. I can say without doubt this was the worst takeaway I have ever had in my life. The king prawn fried rice did not have any egg in it, it was the consistency of rice pudding, no peas, onions or vegetables, just absolutely disgusting stodgy rice with prawns, it was inedible. The chow mein was bland, underseasoned and very unpleasant. The toast was mediocre but edible. I wouldn’t get food from here again if it was the last place on earth, such a huge disappointment.

Had a take away yesterday. Delivery was 15 mins late, an hour in all! Dissapointed with the food, the dishes we nearly all sauce! Just a few pieces of meat in each. Have used them many times but probably not in the future.
