The best restaurants serving Indian food in Reigate Central Reigate and Banstead South East

We have been loyal customers for several years. We’ve eaten inside but mainly takeaways. We opted for delivery, usually I pick it up, but it was 1hr 30mins until it arrived! Chased after 1 hour and I was told it was with the driver. We live about 5mins drive away. Not good enough.

I have been here a few times now and I really like this restaurant. Our server has been so helpful and professional each time. The food is delicious with great flavours and not at all greasy unlike a few Indian meals I have had recently. I give this restaurant 5 stars

This locals favourite when it was Village Brasserie (I think before called Ala Akash) for the last circa 15 years as finally died after new management. Since my last review it has just got ridiculously bad. It has got to that you can never order a take away on a Monday / Tuesday as it seemed they employ a first year student from a local catering college. Then even at weekends the quality is never consistent and a gamble if you get a nice meal. Two weeks ago after a very poor takeaway (a curry in water) we decided not to order again. Yesterday we thought let’s see if it’s different visiting the restaurant. I’m afraid not. We should have realised something was wrong when we arrived at 9 o’clock on Saturday evening to an empty restaurant - totally empty - felt embarrassed sitting there (it was also a day with FA Cup on TV - a 4pm game). We were actually worried if we would get a table - no worry of that !! Then the food came — the food actually tasted powdery - I saw a documentary that cheap curry houses use powdered sauces - the once lovely Village Brasserie has resulted to powered sauces etc. Even the king prawns in the king prawn shaslick had a powdery coating. Given how much they now charge it’s ridiculous. They don’t have alcohol, not because they cannot get a licence but because of their religious views !!! The new owners has ruined this once lovely local restaurant. I hope they sell to someone who cares. Keep away to let that happen
