The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

I do trust TripAdvisor so I had high expectations of here. On entry the place was busy and the welcome friendly. There were 4 of us and we all love a curry. It turned out to be a 50/50 split night as two of us thought our meals were good,( Chettinad and a Bhuna) while the other two described their meals ( the Shashlik and the Tamasha) as very average. Not fantastic, not bad just somewhere in the middle

Food was 10/10😋 well done Bayleaf kitchen 👏 👌 and good value. This place is hard to beat.

i was charged twice i want a refund of £16.10 thank you

The best Indian street food in Eastbourne by far

Stopped here for a curry while in chipping Norton for a weekend. Food was delicious and service very good, would recommend

5 stars! Food was incredible, staff were amazing and very hands on. Will definitely be returning soon and recommending to others. Thank you Rivaaz team ⭐️☺️

We booked a table on a Sunday evening, wanting to do the ‘Sunday Banquet’. When shown to our table we were told this offer wasn’t on due to the festive period meaning they were short staffed. Weren’t told this on booking and didn’t believe the excuse - just profiteering at Xmas. We were very annoyed at the service, it felt like an instruction had been given to rush diners so the table could be reallocated - profiteering again. We were seated and given a drinks menu. We had just opened them when another staff member came for our drinks order. We asked for 5 mins, during that time 2 other staff members asked again. So much for being short staffed! Then, as soon as we had ordered our drinks we were being pestered for our food order. We ordered poppadom and firmly explained we would order our mains after those. 3 other people asked us for our order while we were eating those. Then there were many attempts at upselling. The food was hot, tasty and arrived quickly. Didn’t really like the asterisk on many mains - with its explanation hidden on another page - contains E food colourings. Not the relaxing meal we had hoped for and won’t be back.

I visited on Thursday night 16th Jan. The restaurant is charming, warmly lit and cozy. The staff seem genuinely happy and welcoming. I’d eat there again as the dishes were tasty and generously portioned. There is a huge selection of dishes on the menu so I look forward to returning

What a lovely old building and cute restaurant which was very cozy with a great atmosphere. Everything about this place was 10/10, the food was the best I've had in a long long time and the service was very friendly and professional. Every dish was full of flavour and good portion sizes I really liked the Bombay aloos 👌🏻 Needles to say we will definitely be back again!

Very bad experience was not busy but the waiters where walking around will avoid this restaurant best not go there as its bad quality meat and poor service lacking on flavours.

Ok so its new years eve to give context however we arrived at 7-20 not late in the evening and found we were having long waits between services, food that was cold and dry chicken (not there normal stranded).Staff was way overworked and food orders were mixed up for other tables or cold. The issue is this was always going to be a busy day so why allow online delivery as a priority over in house customers this service should have been closed for the day as clearly all issues stemmed from the kitchen. It will be a long while till I come back if ever.

When the poppadoms aren't cooked well you know it's not going to be great! Service is awful - seem to concentrate on takeaways rather than seated customers. Food not fab either - luke warm. And to top it off they added a service charge which we didn't pay. Won't return

Outstanding service. We haven't been so well looked after in a restaurant for a long time even in places where you pay a lot more. Really good food and a friendly atmosphere. Great value for money. We will definitely be back : )

First time here in popular restaurant with friendly staff and great food, made very welcome and as previously stated not the usual standard Indian food but much much better with a fantastic choice all presented well and cooked to order. We look forward to returning in the future.

The Best Indian restaurant we have ever dined at. Fresh food, delicious, hot / lovely wine and very friendly staff in a lovely cosy restaurant
