It’s bang average. Nothing more nothing less. The curry itself is just ok. There is no depth of flavour to any of the curries just very standard. If you’re desperate for a curry in the air it’ll just do.

As usual, the quality versus price of this curry house was very good. Service was fast and efficient. The hot food, keema naan, brimming to the edge with stuffing plain naan freshly cooked. Meat madras spot on, bombay potatoes very good portion. The chicken korma was a little to sweet for me but wife loved it all in all will return

I’ve always really enjoyed the Sunam and I’m happy to see that, after not coming for a little while, the food and service are still top notch and the prices are still so reasonable. When we arrived the waiters came to open the door for us, sat us down and were incredibly attentive to us the whole evening. The service, like the decor, is decidedly old fashioned but certainly very appreciated. We ordered a couple of large Cobra’s while we perused the menu and then ordered a couple of curries and some sides, which arrived quite quickly. The vegetable dopiaza and garlic naan were lovely. The vegetables tasted fresh and the sauce was irresistible, while the naan was crispy and fluffy. The sides were great too: the sag paneer was creamy and had that cheese pull, the mushroom bhaji was perfectly spiced and fragrant and the onion bhajis were out of this world- they packed more flavour than any I’ve had elsewhere. Considering the size of the meal we shared along with the beer I was surprised when we only ended up spending £20 each, maybe I’m just too used to London prices.

It was the first time visiting Sunam since moving to Hassocks. This is an authentic Indian Restaurant with a traditional atmosphere and the food was good. The service was good also. This is not a modernised restaurant but that was the authentic feel and I hate when an Indian restaurant modernise and becomes clinical. Highly recommended as a traditional Indian night out.

Second time at this Indian. While visiting my friend in Hassocks. I had the best Peshwari naan bread I’ve ever had. The food was very tasty, wine good, service great. Looking forward to coming back again.

The food was bland and lacking any flavour or spices. The taste had nothing to do with Indian cuisine. Popadoms were the only thing that tasted good. The staff are really nice, but the food is below average at best.

Sunam staff are friendly and swift to take the phone order. We ordered a meal for 3, and our foods were all beautifully hot, freshly cooked and delicious. The dishes included chicken tikka..very well cooked, moist and hot. Prawn dansak was excellent, definitely recommend this and the peshwari nan was a cushiony coconut delight! Onion bhajis crisp, fresh, and spinach potato curry, and tarka dal..excellent and generous portions. Feeling very lucky to have such a good restaurant in Hassocks.Vegetarian options: Crisp, freshly cooked generous portions of onion bhajis: lots of veggie optionsParking: Easy to park, either right outside or opposite restaurant

Excellent curry, KP Pathia. Large cobra. Very reasonable prices. Pleasant staff. The restaurant is quite small.
Food - absolutely not satisfied, terrible food. Bought from there on my birthday and the food completely ruined it. I think they should remove the name "indian" From the restaurant. They serve sweet currys, if I wanted something sweet I would have gone to a patisserie!Very bad food, avoid at all costs.

The worse food, I specifically told the guy to make the food very spicy and gues what!!! It was sweet curry!!!! Eating sweet chicken. Absolutely disgusting, never stepping foot in that place again

We regularly visit Sunam in Hassocks - my wife and I, and our kids when they're in town. It's well run, the staff are fantastic and attentive, and the food is delicious. I think some old reviews on this site paint a very different picture - maybe it wasn't great a few years back, but for the past two/three years it has been consistently great. Always super-friendly and we've never waited long for food or drinks.
