The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

Excellent service, wonderful ambience, absolutely delicious food, fabulous menu, and the food was so delicious. Great quality ingredients and really good presentation. If you haven’t eaten here you are seriously missing out!!! Booking strongly advised.

Food is amazing and next level customer service! All hospitality establishments should look to these guys for tips as they go above and beyond every time I’ve been. Highly recommend!

We spotted this restaurant as we were walking by. It was full of people & really buzzing. We checked out the menu & really liked the food choices. We booked for next day & the restaurant didn't disappoint. We were served with politeness & we asked for recommendations & they were happy to assist. Starters were the dosa, & prawns cooked fresh. We had the lamb biriyani. I had vegetarian dishes the mixed vegetables, mushroom & pototoe curry & the paneer spinach plus chappatti. The food was delicious & the spice was absolutely spot on for us. The service was excellent & we would certainly go back if we're in Eastbourne.

Such lovely food yet the service let you down. The lamb was cooked well and fell apart. Naan bread thin, crispy and tasty. Great flavours all round, Sadly we seemed to have been overlooked during our dining. We were offered one drink in the 1 hour and 45 minutes we sat in the restaurant. We also didn’t receive the chef’s complimentary amuse bouches, despite seeing other tables having them. We weren’t offered dessert or coffees either. Upon payment of the bill we did mention the service to the waiter, he said they were understaffed. Such a shame!

This is possibly the best Indian food we have eaten…and we eat a lot! We cook curries from scratch at home and are usually somewhat disappointed with the flavours we experience when we eat out. Kappad is the absolute exception. The menu is varied with a good selection of vegetable main dishes. Flavours are fresh and distinct. The breads are unlike anything we’ve experience before. I’d highly recommend the paratha.

This is an amazing restaurant of authentic southern Indian cuisine. Each dish is carefully prepared using a wonderful array of varied spices. I'm a foodie and I find many Indian restaurant dishes jaded and lack lustre. This restaurant is an utterly wonderful experience. You will be wowed by the freshly cooked delicious fare, very different to the average. Thank you to all the team at Spice Route.

Really lovely food, ambience, and service, with interesting wine pairings. Engaging blend of well presented dishes paired with eating things with your hands which stops it feeling too formal. Genuinely different recipes and ingredients. A relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere where licking the last of your delicious food from your fingers is encouraged not frowned upon!

Was as delicious as always, first visit under new management. Amazing service, very friendly and accommodating. Can't recommend this place enough.

My husband and I went for a date night here and had a great time. We received a genuine and warm welcome, the food was incredible and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely be going back.

This restaurant takes the word 'authentic' to quite a new level! I'm sure we've all eaten in restaurants which say they provide an "authentic taste of......" but Manju's not only offers authentic regional indian cooking but also has the courage to take you away from the familiar english version of indian cookery to the kind of flavours and dishes you might actually expect in Gujarat, all freshly prepaired by someone who clearly knows what they're doing. If you want chicken tikka masarla then this is not the place for you. An experience not to be missed.

What an amazing restaurant! Great spot food is amazing and Joseph our waiter really goes the extra mile to make your meal amazing!

We are fasting from meat and dairy, it was refreshing having a restaurant with great food, friendly relaxed service. Thoroughly enjoyed the Indian dishes I had never tried before (I’m not usually a fan of Indian food) but on this occasion I couldn’t get enough of it. According to my Indian friend the dishes were real traditional not just popular dishes but homely dishes. I really loved the experience. And beautifully decorated, good quiet relaxed environment.

We are always welcomed with a warm greeting and the food is always the absolute best. I can highly recommend eating in or taking away. They always deliver a great service and food which makes us keep coming back for more

Been to Dhaba, around after a month as seen Insta post of some new dishes and honestly another amazing experience of food and service once again, well done guys

Modern pleasing decor in the restaurant with beautiful pictures of Kathmandu and the Himalayas. Food was delicious and service friendly and attentive. Great place for a night out with friends.
