Asian Restaurants in Hurstpierpoint

“Garlic chilli chicken and lamb Korma was ordered. We decided to eat early as was passing. We are not locals.
I’ve read some of the reviews and can see their points made about the restaurant.
For my experience.

I was concerned by the mint sauce for the poppadoms being offered with a glowing orange consistency.
That much food colouring worried me as did the pilau rice that we ordered coming out coloured yellow.
Some of these colourings are very dated to old BIR. (British Indian restaurants) which tend to be Bengali run)
I think the restaurant caters to its regulars it’s been going so long 30+ years.

Very reasonably priced considering the equivalent in Brighton can be 13-17£.
Food was ok. So I can’t complain.

Really the korma tasted of butter and almonds as it should. We asked that it wasn’t too sweet. And they catered for that.
The garlic chicken had a lot of garlic and chilli which was nice and not a compromise to see.
The owner and staff were friendly enough and yes can see that such a small restaurant they could overwhelm if they were quiet.
Some noted the food came out very quickly and all together.
We got this.
I think more the point is get them fed get ready for the next attitude.

Unfortunately because this was a low key experience I didn’t take pictures right from the get go. But here are a few bad ones. Apologies.”

“Nupur Restaurant is a truly rare, hidden gem!
From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance and courteous staff make you feel truly welcome. The menu offers a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary Indian cuisine, each dish prepared with authentic spices and evident care.

What really stood out was the balance of flavors — bold, aromatic, and never overpowering. Every element on the plate feels thoughtfully crafted.

Whether you're a fan of Indian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. Great food, great people, super clean and child friendly!”
