The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

A fabulous meal, service by Sid was warm, effficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. All food freshly cooked, tasty and very enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back if ever in the area. Thank you.

My wife had Chicken Passanda. They used sliced frozen chicken. I had Chicken Dupiaza and my chicken had been cooked multiple times and wasn’t far off being dust and could easily be crushed with a fork. Neither sauce had seen the chicken until being plated up. The Passanda sauce was watery and not thick as it should have been. Both sauces were completely tasteless. Neither had seen a chilli and spices were lacking to the point that they could have been any sauce. I will never return here.

This was the first time we’d dined at Mehdi. After a warm welcome, the service was equally attentive throughout. The food was also very good. The highlight for me was a Paneer Jalfrezi main course - which wasn’t on the menu - but which the chef was happy to prepare for me anyway. The restaurant had a really good atmosphere for a cold November evening. In summary, an excellent experience and good value for money.

Lots of options for food, delicious food, big open spaces in the restaurant, lovely decorations, the only thing is they haven’t changed their name of the shop to match their new name which is gurka inn, makes it very confusing on trying to find the restaurant.

Delicious, fresh food coupled with fast, friendly service. Highly recommended, a real gem.

Whilst the food was good like a previous review we waited for ages, over an hour for 4 dishes. Constantly had to try and get attention of waiting staff too which was incredibly frustrating, especially when they couldn't get our drinks order right. Unfortunately despite living local we won't return.

Fantastic food!! Service was perfect and the food was even better. Mo was a brilliant server, very kind and friendly! Would 100% recommend.

This restaurant ticks every box! Clean/attentive and friendly staff/excellent cuisine (we are vegetarians)/bae for money. Highly recommend.

Four of us enjoyed a lovely meal in the evening . We ordered a variety of dishes from a really tasty mild lamb dish to a hot biriani, as well as naan and rice. Everyone was very happy with their food. The staff were friendly and efficient.

1st takeaway from the Tamarind Tree. Really excellent food! King prawn shaslick….v tasty, cooked very well. King prawn tamarind…..super tasty not over salty as most places. Everything else great and two free poppadoms …thanks. Will be coming again. Good parking outside.

Buena relación calidad-precio, pero me decepcionaron las pocas opciones vegetarianas. Estos suelen ser una ventaja para mí a la hora de elegir la cocina india.

Truly Local favourite curry house. Friendly service. Been loyal customer for 10 years. Amazing food. Great presentation.

My wife and I stayed at the Best Western hotel in Eastbourne and we decided to visit this little restaurant for dinner and we were not disappointed! The service was great and the food was sublime! My wife ordered the mixed grill and a naan bread whereas I had the Chicken Jalfrezi (my personal favourite). Overall it was one of the greatest curries we ever had and the naan bread was outstanding as it was super soft, buttery and full of garlicky flavour. We will definitely visit again! A+++++

Our first visit, this is a tremendous restaurant, with very friendly staff, great food and huge portions. We will defintely return.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this establishment. The quality, quantity & freshness of food is amazing! Our daughter (15) is autistic & struggles with food sensitivity. However, she cleared the plate & asked for more. Safe to say this has now become 1 of our family favourite takeaways (order through justeat!) Big thanks to the management of the restaurant ;0)
