The best restaurants serving Indian food in Lewes South East

Deep fried GF veggies in their own batter - wonderful. Good chatting to someone that understands what people want.

A friend booked us a table here after reading Mark Budd’s review a few months ago. All I can say is his review was accurate! Would definitely go again

They are running a takeaway from the restaurant where people are sitting eating. The phone rings constantly, there are delivery drivers coming to the restaurant constantly to pick up orders. The waiters are running around constantly in the restaurant area in order to keep up with orders.

Always enjoy delicious food and friendly service at Chaulas. Thank you!

Was great when it first opened, We knew the owner and he had a real " spark" of enthusiasm. Now....its lost something. The food was OK.. comparable to other restaurants in the area, although expensive. , but the atmosphere is flat. We were almost the only couple. The owner sat around a corner looking bored and ignored us. Gave us a vague wave as we left with a cursory.." was the food OK?".... real lack of interest. Previously it was his enthusiasm that inspired us to go. We could have ordered a take away for all of the dinning experience, but reading the reviews of those....there is no way. A shame....end of an era...bye bye Spice Village.

I don’t like writing negative reviews. I really don’t. But this place was a bit meh. Nothing was ‘bad’ but nothing was particularly good either. The service was good and generally attentive but the food was disappointing and presentation was distinctly lacking. There were 2 full menus and perhaps that’s the problem - they do a lot of dishes but none of them particularly well?

I was in the area and got a lovely meal meal there with an excellent service. Definitely I would eat there again and I can highly recommend the place.

Excellent food. Reasonable prices. Unhurried service.

Over the years had three in a row of poor quality food. Last night gave it another try after over a year Food good. Delivery good. Price good portions good.

Excellent service and the food was super delicious! Everyone should give it a try😋 The waiter Udoy is very helpful and recommended the best curry in the menu.

Ordered mixed starter £8-9 piece of chicken, 2 piece of lamb, about a bites worth of sheek kebab and 1 tiny tiny samosa, really poor. Vindaloo not much flavour and chicken really small and no potato. Busy Saturday night so no idea why food was so poor

I've never had a bad curry here and the food was excellent again this evening. It was very popular, so I'm glad we booked. Since they removed the carpet a few years ago, it's slightly noisy, as there are few soft furnishings to absorb the noise. It also feels a bit chilly - not cold, but on the cool side. The staff are a bit business-like and lack charm with their service, but the food is why we come here.

Fantastic takeaway last night. Couldn't have been better.

Yummy! Staying in air bnb down the road - thought we’d try this place as didn’t want to drive or catch bus. Wow what an amazing choice this was, very friendly staff - was welcoming and set up a table for us and got us drinks quickly. Amazing freshly cooked food, good portions too. Tandoori chicken biriani was to die for also comes with vedge curry on the side. Very good prices too, little gem and hope to return in future holidays to Brighton. Surprised it wasn’t busier however they do takeaways too.
