I dined here on a busy Saturday night with friends. The service was rude and excruciatingly slow from start to finish. The waiting staff seemed to resent having to serve us. Anything which did not have a price tag was too much - water, ice, missing cutlery. We had to ask again and again. When it did arrive the food was very average. My local takeaway is much better. At least with a takeaway you are not asked to leave while there is still wine and food on the table. We were asked to leave to make room for a large booking at 10pm - we had not been warned that there would be another sitting. We offered to move tables but they said we should leave. The waiters then surrounded our table and made us feel very uncomfortable. We left and will not be returning.

The most shocking service I’ve ever experienced in hospitality. Such a shame as the food we ate was exceptional, unfortunately we decided to leave after the starters and cancelled our mains due to the rudeness of a certain staff member - he was rude from the moment we entered and critiqued everything we ordered and made us feel unwelcome.

I’m not sure what has happened but 7-9 years ago I couldn’t fault this place, but now the food is awful. I’ve tried a few times since it went downhill, hoping that each time it was a one off. Obviously, they have lost the chef but also you can tell they are using cheaper inferior vegetables and meats. The dishes are so poor… as a positive a couple of the waiters are very friendly

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Best curry snd starter I’ve had in years. Definitely recommend the king prawn purée and lamb chop starter. The chicken Khorai was delicious. Thank you for great service and food recommendations.

Dunno what planet the people who are rating this 5 stars are on.Clearly paid reviews or friends.My food was dry and lacking any flavour: however my girlfriend enjoyed her starter. Not worth the steep price.Restaurant had 5 wait staff for a tiny restaurant yet somehow still forgot orders. Super slow service and they lacked any warmth or patience with our group. Just didn't come across like they knew what they were doing.Seems like they spent all the money on the pretty presentation of the place, and short-changed every other aspect of what makes a restaurant experience good.Save your money!

The food was amazingly flavoursome, fresh and the spicy dishes were fiery. There were options for everyone, from meat eaters to vegans and a wide range. Only criticism is that they were really stretch when we were there, so it was difficult to get a second round of drinks and so on.

I had my favourite chicken dhansak at this lovely restaraunt. I have heard good things about the restaurant and wanted to visit. I would absolutely recommend it the portions were generous. I took some home, which I froze and enjoyed at a later date. The only thing I didn't like was that they asked us if we would like to add a 12% service charge. BUT at least we were asked. We said no and put a cash tip on the table.

Pretty handy for a meal after a day at the cricket! We got there around 1830...earlier than our booking but no problem getting in. Friendly welcome and service...poppadums arrived speedily. Extensive menu with some less common choices...I went for lamb shank balti...very tasty!

Great food, very wide choice of dishes. It was a party of 10 including 3 vegans, and all were well catered for. We had an amazing variety of dishes, and all of them were so tasty. Cost worked out at around £30 a head including lots of drinks, a starter and mains. Good food and a good night.Vegetarian options: Good choice for vegetarians and vegans.

Don’t go to this restaurant if you’re Bengali or Pakistani, they will give you leftovers. Iv been here twice since moving to brighton. Both times they short changed me, they gave me leftovers. They treat all the whites people with respect and go beyond. It’s not a racist review but I think that’s totally unacceptable. Your own people do this stuff. What a shame!!!
We have always been to this restaurant and always get the best waiter you could possibly wish for I believe his name is Naz. He always welcomes us and takes our order he is a positive man with a great atmosphere. The food came out nice hot and we all enjoy as usual.

What a fabulous meal we had at Hove Tandoori , the food was delicious! Nothing was to much trouble for them and the restaurant has a modern feel. Special shout out to Raj who helped in choosing the meal to delivering it - well done ! We had a great evening !

...which is not so good if you eat there at a busy time. As per another recent review very preoccupied with a mass of Deliveroo etc orders and a very poor customer experience for us - we paid for the poppadoms and beer and left to eat elsewhere. In fairness I had a very nice curry there the week before on a Monday evening when it was quiet

Ordered a delivery after getting a flyer through the door. After living in Brighton for 3 years and having a few from Deliveroo which have been disappointing (taste/value/getting the order right) we tried Hove Tandoori. Really good! Food was plentiful and tasty, good proportion of chicken/lamb in the dish, a reasonable price for 4 of us, poppadoms came with lime pickle and mango chutneys (both excellent) without asking - Just a really pleasing meal and well worth a go.
