The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Once again fantastic food alongside fantastic service Highly recommended we will continue use this restaurant it is Outstanding!!!!!!

Actually it was a take-away. At £46 not as cheap as previously. No w no free delivery for spending over £15. Delivery charge, by Foodhub. OK only £2.50. It becomes worse. Poppadoms and sauces were free. Now itemised. Fine. Told them over phone no lime pickle. So they decided to send an unasked for Chilli pickle. If I do not like lime am I likely to like Chilli? Food acceptable. Even the delivery driver apologised for delivery charge. Said many people had said same. And hence did not give tips. I did. However may well be last time I deal with this restaurant. Reminds one of dear places where there is a charge for everything, even a small portion of peas.

The Good:Poppadom (and battered starters) deep frying - well cooked, no excess oil on anything.The Bad:Small portionsThe chefs choice of two snacks on the veg Thali was 3 strips of deep fried okra and a cauliflower floret (in a nice batter)The 2 curries on the same Thali were something that could have come from a Sainsbury’s microwave mealThe Ugly:DecorCleanliness - while not that poor in general, too many things needed a better clean (tables, chutney pots)The yogurt and chutney pickles for poppadoms (other than the mango) were grim

Visiting from France - fabulous food, helpful, attentive staff and nice and clean. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

First time visiting this lovely restaurant. I have a peanut allergy and so trying a new Indian restaurant is quite a scary thing as they usually use nut oils to cook in,I was reassured that things are kept separate and indeed I didn't have any reaction. The food was absolutely delicious.all really fresh. The service was really nice and there was a good atmosphere in the restaurant. Also the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back with friends and family.

Absolutely fantastic food and what fantastic people. We’ve visited Hertford for the weekend and was overwhelmed by the hospitality that we were shown by the owners. Totally recommended.

Had a superb meal this evening. One of the tastiest Indian meals I have ever eaten and beautifully presented too . Service efficient and staff friendly and welcoming . Highly recommend.

Breaks my heart to write such a bad review! My partner and I have been coming to this restaurant for almost 18 years, when we lived local to it and it was always amazing the manager back then was fantastic and the food was gorgeous too, we have been back to the restaurant many times since moving away from the area - mainly with friends & family (7-10 of us) 7 of us went this evening and I am so disappointed ☹️ A large coke is £5 each, I know establishments need to make their money but £5 is extortionate! My friend ordered a fish dish, which she does every time we go and she enjoys it. Tonight it was like mush and full of water, clearly frozen! It really wasn’t good! The staff did replace it with another meal of her choice. 2 of our party had massalla when it came the sauce was like water, it was overly sweet and smelt sour. It wasn’t eaten and we did tell the staff but they didn’t seem interested. (We were still charged for it too) We ordered a childrens portion of chicken nuggets & chips, for the smallest child with us (age 6) when the bill came they had charged £9 for it!!! Which is the price shown on the main adult menu. When we questioned it the waiter went to ask the manager about the query. He came back and said that the childs price of £9 is correct as its the same size as the adults?!? The manager was quite rude to us on the way out stating that there was nothing wrong with the massalla and apparently that was how it was supposed to be! And also that we had miss calculated the bill and owed them 36p We paid this and left, very disappointed and one of the party still hungry as they didn’t eat their massalla! Sorry to say this will be the last time we visit voijon

Best in town also very nice food

Got takeaway, very poor, everything was cold . No spice in anything very bland. Stopped going a few years ago and has just confirmed why .. avoid

Mi reciente visita a Chauki Dhani en Londres con mi familia me dejó decepcionado debido a su nueva y rígida política gastronómica. Éramos un grupo de cinco – mis padres, mi hija pequeña y dos adultos – emocionados de disfrutar de la auténtica experiencia Rajasthani Thali. Sin embargo, las reglas del restaurante nos dejaron sin poder disfrutar de la comida que vinimos a comer. Chauki Dhani ahora requiere un mínimo de tres Thalis por mesa de 5 personas, sin flexibilidad para mezclar Thalis y el menú a la carta. Esta política fue muy inconveniente para nuestra familia. Mientras que mi hija no pudo terminar un Thali completo y mis padres ancianos, que tienen apetitos más pequeños, no pudieron. Esperábamos pedir dos Thalis para los adultos y un plato a la carta para mi hija, pero esto fue rechazado rotundamente con alta voz de Gerente. Lo que hizo la experiencia aún más frustrante fue que el menú a la carta que nos vimos obligados a pedir terminó costando lo mismo que tres Thalis! A pesar de esto, las reglas no nos permitieron disfrutar de la variedad tradicional de platos que vinimos específicamente para. El gerente explicó que esta política fue dictada por la dirección en la India, sin dejar espacio para excepciones, ni siquiera para familias como la nuestra que de otra manera desperdiciarían alimentos. Anteriormente había disfrutado visitando Chauki Dhani, pero esta visita me ha dejado profundamente decepcionado. Su falta de flexibilidad, incluso cuando el proyecto de ley era equivalente a lo que insistían, nos hizo sentir restringidos y no bienvenidos. Comer fuera debe ser disfrutar de la experiencia, no estar atado por políticas rígidas. Lamentablemente, no voy a volver, y no puedo recomendar este restaurante a otros, especialmente familias con apetitos variables. Sí, algunas personas habrían hecho un mal uso de la política de compartir Thali y habrían compartido malas críticas, pero la nueva política exige desperdiciar los alimentos. ¿Cuál es más malvado de ambos?

Comimos aquí con amigos y la experiencia fue brillante. El servicio fue igualmente bueno. Si quieres un gran curry en un entorno encantador, este es el lugar.

Another great takeaway. Full of flavour and lots of it. Our go-to takeaway and we haven’t found a restaurant in Eastbourne to compete with it.

We have just had a lovely meal at the restaurant, Staff very attentive, food delicious. Good for all members of the family.
