Ordered via ubereats. I waited over an hour and then called the restaurant who said they weren't sure whereabouts my address was and they never tried to deliver and they said they sent a message to me via the uber app to confirm the address. I checked the Uber app and there's no message system on the app so they lied about that and my address is clearly visible on the app. I also requested several updates via the app when my order became late which were ignored. I have had two previous deliveries from another restaurant without issue. read more

Hove Tandoori - Indian Near Me - Hove, BNH

See all

We visited here on a recommendation and after reading some of the previous reviews I was not to sure about eating here, but we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was very busy but managed to squeeze us in and the staff were very friendly and polite . We ordered Mass Bazzhar (red mullet and prawns cooked with haldi Garam masala peppers and onion) Black dall makhani ,pilau rice and sag paneer. And everything was spot on, full of flavour and well presented and considering how busy it was the service was very fast and efficient. read more

I think this might be the best Indian takeaway in Brighton, and not far off being the best Indian restaurant in the area also. I've eaten here once and had a very good meal, but the service was a little slow. As a takeaway though, absolutely floorless. In the times I have ordered from here, the food has never disappointed or missed the spot. I always get the chicken rogan josh. While not normally my favourite, Hove Tandoori do this dish particularly well. I can have no real complaints, I'd be there right now if I could. read more

Now in double figures for reviews today.... kicking my new years resolutions ass..... I'll echo Felix T's comments on the last review. Haven't eaten in but this is my favourite Indian takeaway in Brighton and Hove. Food is fresh, flavoursome and delicious. The restaurant looks great as well. Just thinking about it is making me hungry..... read more

One of the best Indian restaurants in Brighton, well Hove actually! The food is well seasoned and very yummy. They also do takeaways and deliver. Restaurant gets busy so book ahead read more

Well where to start... This used to be my go to curry house. Never let me down and their food was always a cut above the rest. Jump forward 2 years to today. My father and I decided to go out for a curry at Hove Tandoori. Turning up at 1830 on a Friday is always a bit of a risk without a reservation. But we were seated, although as it turned out, in the most awful position possible on a table that looked like they had decided to squeeze a few more pounds into their tills. It was akin to sitting in a busy Mumbai street. When the menu arrived, which was so battered it looked like it had come out of the fryer from the local fish n chip shop, I noted that a lot of the menu had been removed. Disappointed that they no longer did my dish, I resigned myself to something else. But then noticed my fathers menu had more pages. So I was simply missing half the menu. Food now found and ordered. The starter arrived. A reshmi kebab. Perfectly adequate, nothing to write home about tho. Certainly nothing special. During this time the restaurant was getting busier and busier to the point every table was full and there was a steady stream of people coming in to collect their take outs. Which is fine. ALL customers managed to avoid knocking into us. Shame the same can not be said about the staff. When the mains arrived I was looking forward to tucking into my usual order of Green tikka lamb masala. This used to be chock full of herbs and spices. But today it was the same old western curry story. Clearly a stock gravy was used with bits added to try and differentiate the dish from others. The lamb was super fatty and thus the dish had a nice layer of oil on top. Something I haven't seen since the 80s when you'd spend 5 mins spooning oil from the top of your curry. My side of Bhindi Bharji ( okra ) was snotty and gooey. Unlike the lovely barbecued flavour it used to have with a nice bite to it. This shows the okra was not prepared correctly by soaking in an acidic mix prior to cooking and not cooked at a high enough heat. They also neglected to bring me my Chapatti I had ordered. My fathers Dansak was unbalanced and just didn't taste right. Again very generic. Spices tasted raw and not properly roasted. But the main issue came from the staff and their lack of spatial awareness and ability to recognise they had just knocked into patrons who are eating. I took several hard knocks but my dad had his fork knocked out of his hand and the staff member just carried on. We also couldn't hear ourselves think it was so loud in there. Nothing in the way of sound absorption. But it was the second time my dad got his cutlery knocked out of his hand that we decided to call it quits, just 5 mins into main course. As we left a rather belligerent member of staff wanted to know what was wrong. We explained and all he kept saying was that we should have known it was gonna be busy. And was not really that apologetic about his staff. So we gave him £20 and promptly left. I advise you now avoid this restaurant at all costs. Unless you are a stag / hen party that has already consumed a heavy amount of alcohol so you can't detect how poor the food and service is. Certainly not the place to go for a romantic meal. All in all a very very poor show all round from what used to be a highly recommended, by me, restaurant. read more

There are two types of polarised reviews on Qype: those who've eaten there and loved it and those who've ordered a delivery and very pssed off. We went and in and ordered food for takeaway and I'm glad to say we didn't wait long. Like Indian Kitchen across the road, the main meal comes with rice and popadums. The takeaway menu is far different and more extensive than their eating in menu. We plumped for a jumbo prawn dish and we weren't disappointed with all the dishes. Most importantly, if you've read my Indian Kitchen review, you'll be glad to read that my Papads were near perfect and didn't taste of old oil. Yet I expected something a little more: my 5 stars for Indians are reserved for the likes of Indian Summer and Chilli Pickle - this nearly is a 4* yet... read more

Let me start by saying I absolutely love Indian food and have traveled through most of India, sampling everything from fried, battered veg from street vendors on a platform at Jaipur station all the way to gourmet 5 star stuff in Mumbai. As always, I am happy to be corrected, but the Indian food here is the best in Hove by some margin. You do not get the generic, greasy, bland creamy sauces here. The mains are absolutely delicious, and you can really taste the flavours and fresh ingredients. My only niggle is getting a table, which can be nightmare especially at the weekend, and the service, which does not always match the quality of the food. The prices are reasonable and I can heartily recommend this over all the other Indian places in Hove. A solid 4 stars from me. read more

rude customer service. They messed my order up and then were very unhelpful sorting it out. The person I was speaking to (who was apparently the manager) was shouting at me and over me and didn't take on board my comments and then hung up on me! I've been a customer for more than ten years and over the sake of a piece of bread and being so rude they have lost my custom for ever. Really disappointed! I also feel the quality of the food has gone downhill in the last few years. Not sure what happened as it always used to be lovely food with lovely service in the past. Certainly won't be recommending to anyone anymore either. read more

I must admit, my family and I have been going to Hove Tandoori since I was 7 or 8 which is a fair few years now I'm sad to say, however in this nigh on 20 year period we've not once contemplated having our Indian food anywhere else. After its refurbishment a few years ago, the restaurant gave itself a new lease of life as a modern, well-decorated, altogether pleasant place to be. The music is modern and varied, always with a bangra tinge, the atmosphere is lively and the food - the main part - never fails to disappoint. On weekends The Hove Tandoori can become extremely busy, so I'd advise booking ahead if you want to be sure of a seat. The pricing is average for an Indian restaurant, however when weight against the aforementioned quality of food the price appears a steal. The food is typical british indian fare, with no southern indian surprises such as Masala Dosas or similar dishes, but what is on offer is more than enough to appease the most varied of palates. As I mentioned before, I've been going here years and so perhaps my views are somewhat biased by all the fond memories I've had and created here, but I have eaten enough Indian food - including in India - to know what is good and Hove Tandoori is right up there. Also, if you're feeling lazy, they'll deliver the food to you, however this detracts from the experience of the place. read more

Extremely popular Indian Restaurant in Brighton and Hove, It's a small restaurant but gets very busy very quick which means there is good ambience. Popperdoms are brought to the table as you sit down, most of the dishes are priced to include rice or nan breads. Presentation of each dish is exquisite and quality is respectable including the fish dishes. As it's a small restaurant you can only book tables from 7pm and 9pm but its what you have to live with if you wish to eat in an popular restaurant its basically supply and demand. The restaurant has two waiters to each table and governor Shahi is very welcoming. read more

Love it - always busy. Great food, lots of atmosphere , can be noisy when busy. Highly recommend, I have been on a number of occasions and everything I have tried has been excellent. read more

Some of the best Indian food I have tasted in Brighton & Hove. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Delicious flavours, and very generous portions. Lots of meat and sauce etc. Loses 1 star for price and also sometimes the take-away's can arrive a little less than hot, but a quick blast in the microwave will fix that if the spices don't! My favourite Indian restaurant in Brighton as of writing read more

What can I say? After trying a lot of Indian restaurants in the area, I have been going here ever since. This restaurant is truly the king of all Indian restaurants in Brighton and Hove. A pure gem read more

This used to be the go to place for a curry however it has gone down hill recently. Last time I went there was a group of 5 of us and the restaurant was pretty empty. The food we received was really nice with excellent flavours however the wait was terrible and various items took a long time to appear. I am still waiting for my rice and after asking several times gave up and just ate the curry without. Was given a complimentary drink for the mix up but would have preferred my rice. Shame as the chicken jalfrezi was amazing. read more

Have been to Hove tandoori previously and really liked it but this time we was massively let down by the extremely rude service. My husband wanted to go here for his birthday meal so we went last night in a group of 6 for a family meal. Things started out well as we we're given free popadoms and sauces, we shared a bottle of prosecco which was nice and ordered our starters & mains. The starters we're good, lamb samosas and chicken chat and king prawn butterfly. Things we're all going well and we was having a nice time and then a waiter who we later found out is called Raj, was so rude we was actually close to just walking out before out mains. We was just ordering drinks with him and he was very aggressive and pointed his finger in my mother in laws face saying 'you wait to speak', we we're all so shocked I said to him that I thought that was very rude and he just started shouting 'I know my job!' I said that we wanted someone else to serve us so he just walked off. Luckily the other waiter that came over was much nicer and we complained to him who got us the complaints book so that we could leave a note for the manager. He did take a bottle if wine off our bill as a way of an apology (only after I suggested this though). At the end of our meal as we was still upset about the situation and felt we was owed an apology we did say to the nice waiter that we felt Raj should apologise. Raj came over and said sorry whilst rolling his eyes! Then he got stroppy again and just walked off. I am shocked that he is allowed to deal with any customers with such a bad attitude and therefore we would not return to the restaurant whilst he is still working there. Apparently the working conditions there are not great so I'm not sure how much the boss is going to actually care. It's a shame as the food is really nice but let down by the service. My mum didn't get her mushroom rice she had ordered to go with her main until after I had asked 3 times where it was and if it was coming. By the time she got the rice the test of her food was cold and the rest of us had pretty much finished our food. read more

This used to be my favourite curry house in the whole of Brighton & Hove. Sadly, I fear that it has gone downhill quite drastically over the years. When I went recently, the service was unbelievably slow - so slow that I almost contemplated telling them that we were going to leave as we had had enough of waiting. The food is still pretty decent but the waiting period was so ridiculous that I am not sure if I would return. Additionally, they did not serve all the dishes at the same time so some people's food ended up going cold whilst we waited for everyone else's to arrive. read more

Both the food and service at Hove Tandoori are excellent, however, the atmosphere can be hit and miss. For example, on my last visit only two other tables were filled but on other occasions it's been rammed. As such I'd recommend booking a table because it's the kind of place that fills up quickly. If you don't fancy risking it, they offer a free home delivery service with every order. You're looking at approximately £15 per head, which is very reasonable considering the wholesomeness of the food. It's properly cooked and seasoned and doesn't give you that heavy feeling you get after most normal Indians. Located near big Tescos in Hove it's a little out the way but definitely worth the journey. read more

This is a regular haunt of ours. The fact that we keep going back speaks volumes. We simply cannot fault the excellent service or more importantly the amazing food it offers. Even when trying unfamiliar things (to us) from the menu we have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, warm and intimate. Perfect for romantic nights out with a loved one or in small groups of friends and family. This is where, regrettably, I have to shave-off a star as on occasion there have been groups dinning that are clearly too large for the premises. This inevitably leads to an audible increase that's very hard to ignore, especially if one of the group is a stag or a hen. All this said however, I wouldn't be put off going back as it really is one of the best eats in town. It might just be worth checking expected group sizes before you book. read more

After being turned away from the Giggling Squid (full), I wondered down Church Street and saw this place was bustling, and thought it must worth a shot... On the whole I was impressed: a couple of poppadoms and pickles turned up automatically; the curries tasted fresh, with well balanced flavours; and the wine we picked was pleasant and reasonable priced. Also, the staff were attentive and polite, service moved along promptly - without ever feeling rushed. I've not long lived in the area - and have had very average curries in a couple of other places - it is nice to have finally found a good local curry house! read more

We decided to book here due to the good reviews it recieved on the internet. But despite booking more than 24 hours in advance they left it until an hour and a half before we were due to arrive to cancel us due to them overbooking. I dont have any intention to try again. Back to Ashoka, they are always good. read more

Great food & service. Well worth checking out some of the less common dishes they offer, such as fish ones & the chef's specials.

There are two very good Indian Restaurant's in Hove that I use and Hove Tandoori is one of them. The Chicken Tikka Chilli Massala, not to sure if its on the menu but they made it anyway; was the best one I have ever had. The Chicken is of a great quality and the sauce was perfect. The food was hot on arrival and it turned up within 25 mins and not 40 as mentioned. A really great choice for a curry, have never eaten in so cannot comment on the ambience but the staff are lovely.

I ordered a takeaway to be delivered and it came to my door right on the button (I live in Hove) but the food was awful and I would suggest that anyone avoids this place like the plague - I binned the bulk of it because it was so bad and I love my food and have lived and worked in India and enjoy most foods that I experience - but currently I think they are going to go out of business - not happy about wasting 15 quid on a load of rubbish but I guess I'll just put it down to experience - quite unhappy though read more

No doubt, the best curry house in brighton and hove. I have been to quite a lot of them, Indian summer is good but its not the traditional curry house. Service is fast. read more

Ordered takeaway, they failed to deliver rice with my curry, which I had ordered. After phoning and explaining the mistake, the restaurant were extremely rude and unhelpful. Said they could deliver rice at an extra cost, which I declined as I had already ordered it and they hung up on me!! Awful service, curry was average at best. Very disappointing especially after the other good reviews. read more

Very nice food and reasonable prices (except the beer, but that is common). Quick service, though it did feel a little rushed at times. The curries weren't at all greasy, though a bit heavy on red food dye. read more

Great food, generous portions, good value, wonderful service. Best curry house in Brighton and Hove.
