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.

Had the banquet which was superb You get a starter a main a side and rice or nan for a very reasonable price Both of us felt our food was delicious I had a methi lamb and my mate had a chicken pathia The place was packed and I’m not surprised! The owner Gaz is quite simply a superstar who knows excellent what people want and he provides it The best curry house in Buckingham by a country mile 🤩

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.

My husband and I had a lovely time at Spice Route. The food was AMAZING - best we've had in a long time! And the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be back again!

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.

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.

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.

Went for a hike nearby and then had an early dinner at the restaurant. Was really delicious! :) Our first time here and we will definitely be back. Plenty of parking on the main high street as well.

Fantastic food. Visited with my team and they were all very happy with the food. The thali in particular is delicious and well worth the price if you’re hungry. Jaya, the owner, is lovely too, very warm and welcoming. Big fan!

We organised a retirement lunch for one of team who was leaving, so a party of 13. Curry Palace were really helpful, they delivered our food for just after 12-noon which was amazing as they do not open till then. The food was piping hot and tasted great, there was virtually nothing left. Good value for money as well All in a win:win

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

We ordered a takeaway from here last night and it was the best Indian takeaway I have had in a long time! I am gluten free and the staff were very knowledgeable and reassured me what I could eat that was gluten free. We ordered a mild passanda chicken and a more spicy lamb bhoona The food was ready within 20 minutes and it was so delicious! Very fresh and not greasy at all. We shall be returning, to dine in the restaurant next time!
