The best restaurants serving Asian food in South East

The food here I have generally always thought of as a better quality than any other local Thai restaurants which I accepted the higher prices for. Having spent two years living in Thailand eating only Thai cuisine, and being able to speak some of the language also, I was unfortunately disappointed in the lack of 'dining out' experience we had here. Not even a single candle or a flower at the tables, they were literally bare. No authentic decor or staff uniform etc. There was a portable gas fire in the middle of the restaurant for heating which didn't help the overall ambience; it just felt much more geared up to being a takeaway venue with a few tables for good measure than a lovely restaurant experience. The same food in a different environment would have tasted much better I'm sure!

Had really nice Katsu Chicken Curry today with a very generous large portion. Service was wonderful despite it being so very busy. Thank you.

One of the worst experiences of customer service I have had. We had ordered a takeaway for 8.00pm pick up some hours before and it had been accepted. On arrival it was clear that nothing had been done and our order was just sitting on the reception desk. We waited almost an hour for our food to be ready. Management had no interest in what was going on, it was clear that people who arrived after us with later pick up times were being served before us as well as people who were dining in. We had to ask three times where our food was and were just told 'its coming but we are busy'. No apology was offered. The food, when it did arrive, was not hot. Never again.

I went to Korea for a few times for business purposes so I have good knowledge what the food should taste like. The good point, to begin with, is generally the dishes were cooked to a good standard. The bad point, however, is that the portion size is really poor especially on rice/noodle which isn't enough for 1 person to be filled. Looking at the final bill, I think maybe I should go to central London?

The days of a cheap curry are over but this restaurant still represents fair value for money compared to others in the area. The entrance is not too inviting, as it is tucked away but once inside it was pleasant enough. The staff were attentive enough without being over powering leaving us to enjoy the generously proportioned food. All in all we could not find anything to complain about so comes with our recommendation.

We had our second meal here and once again it was delicious! The food is freshly prepared and very authentic. I would highly recommend the jungle, red and panang curries.

El plato principal de pollo al curry verde era una salsa delgada con una pequeña cantidad de pollo y dos o tres verduras pequeñas. Media taza de té de arroz. Falta de sabor. Extremadamente caro y decepcionante. Básicamente una sopa. Los entrantes eran variables, las alitas de pollo eran muy agradables al menos, y la cerveza embotellada estaba fría. A pesar del servicio amable, debe haber un mejor restaurante tailandés para la comida en Brighton.

Fuimos aquí la víspera de año nuevo con amigos y lo pasamos de maravilla toda la comida que tuvimos era deliciosa y el servicio era de primera clase. Vivimos en netley y tenemos mucha suerte de tener este restaurante en nuestro pueblo. Gracias a todo el personal por hacer una gran víspera de año nuevo para nosotros cuatro

I ordered a takeaway. This Restaurant is now called “The Curry Leaf” I ordered a Lamb Balti and my wife a Chicken Tikka Masala. We also ordered Naan bread. The naan was flat and more like a Chapati and a little dry. The Balti was so sower it was not really edible until I added a tub of yoghurt. Worst of all when my wife reheated her dish the next day she fount TWO LONG HAIRS in it. Stay away!

Have been ordering from Gaanchil for years and never had a problem always lovely food and speedily delivered. Tonight food 40 minutes late, chicken tikka was tasteless , tough and accompanied by raw onions and no salad no mint sauce. The cauliflower bhaji had a watery sauce that tasted of raw spices. When queried where order was told running behind so very disappointing.

I was taken to the Spice Tavern by friends for an early meal yesterday evening August 12th. I am disabled and have an assistance dog. We were refused entry with my dog and were told to leave her in the car. As the temperature outside was 30 degrees, that was not going to happen! Needles to say, we will not be going there again or recommending it! We went to the Black Horse in Hookwood, Horley where my dog and I were made very welcome and we had an absolutely delicious curry

As 50% Thai , i would rate this 10/10 , they make food as good as my mum makes at home . Very nice and sweet service by the lady who served our table too! Will comeback!

I used to live in Portsmouth but moved away eight years ago, and I remember coming here a long time ago. We ordered king prawn fried rice, mushroom chow mien and prawn toast. I can say without doubt this was the worst takeaway I have ever had in my life. The king prawn fried rice did not have any egg in it, it was the consistency of rice pudding, no peas, onions or vegetables, just absolutely disgusting stodgy rice with prawns, it was inedible. The chow mein was bland, underseasoned and very unpleasant. The toast was mediocre but edible. I wouldn’t get food from here again if it was the last place on earth, such a huge disappointment.

This is a favourite restaurant of mine - great service and great food. More people should enjoy it. The place has just been redecorated and looks very well, that said the selling point is the delicious food.

Ordered a takeaway for 25 of us, food was fantastic & everyone really enjoyed their meal. Thank you.
