Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We were sorry to have not discovered this restaurant earlier as we don't get to this area often. The service was faultless, the staff were beyond amazing and helpful with suggestions around food and drink. Every member was genuinely fantastic. The food was incredible -...authentic and very good quality. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and ambience was great. We wouldn't hesitate to return and recommend.More

Fantastic food but equally important was the quality of the service. The team, in particular Shanash Fernandes, went above and beyond for us. They were extremely accommodating, kind and courteous. We ordered a large meal for almost 20 people. Tasty food by a quality team!...Thank youMore

Excellent meal and faultless service. Sad not to be local residents as this would have become a firm favourite! Fresh, home cooked and well spiced. Near the theatre so a great pre-performance place to grab dinner.

We visited this fabulous Indian restaurant on recommendation from one of Sussex's top hoteliers who dines their regularly with the owners of one of Sussex's top eateries. We thought that sounded safe... We've dined at some of the very top Indian restaurants in the UK...and food wise this is equal to, if not better than all of them. If you are in the area go - you will not regret it. Oh, and the service was top rate too as was value for money.More

We picked this restaurant for a birthday lunch and weren’t disappointed. We each had three courses and thoroughly enjoyed them - I particularly recommend the crispy chilli paneer starter! The staff were friendly and attentive and the portion sizes were spot on.
