The dishes here seem to be quite a bit milder than most other places I've been to, (for example, a Madras here is considerably mild compared to other restaurants), though that's not to say that the food is bad; it's quite good, as is the service, with the staff checking if your dish is to your satisfaction, or asking if you want the main dish altered in any way, (I always ask them to put extra spices in for me to give my dish a stronger taste). Very relaxing, and well lit, (but not too strongly), and very comfortable indeed, this restaurant is highly recommended to someone who wants to try Indian cuisine out, but isn't sure exactly how hot/spicy they want it. On-street parking is mostly available, but is a small car-park near the end of the road.

The quality of the food is genuinely outstanding. This is not as big a restaurant as some locally, but creates a relaxing environment that makes for a good night out. The service is prompt and the staff are attentive and friendly, providing advice both when asked for and when not (e.g. when I was pregnant suggesting I had a dish with lots of ginger as it would be good for a woman in my condition!) The restaurant also does charity nights and again there is no compromise on food quality or service, even when the restaurant is completely full.

I have heard a few people describe this place as the best Indian restaurant in Brighton. Whilst I…read moredon't think I've eaten in enough to warrant corroborating that statement, I can say I ate here recently and it was pretty damn good! What I particularly like about Shahi Tandoori is that it is split into two quite separate spaces, one side is the restaurant and one is the takeaway. This is genius! There's nothing more annoying than people wandering through while you're eating to pick up their order, letting a draft in and spoiling the ambiance of the restaurant. Well Shahi has it covered. Food-wise, the side dishes are all great...I particularly like the Bombay Aloo, the Sag Paneer and the Onion Bhajis- delicious! I can also recommend the Vegetable Balti and Chicken Tikka Masala. Since this place is just around the corner, we often pop down to pick up a few side dishes to go with a home-cooked curry and they never look at us funny, despite our paltry order! I like them.

You can never have enough good quality Indian restaurants (so says I), without doubt Shahi Tandoori…read moredeserves to be added to that category. It's located in an odd place at the bottom of Ditchling Rise, because of the location you might never have come this way, I really would recommend it though. 'Shahi' is a little bit cheaper then the more central Indian restaurants (and take aways, they do both). The food is also of a very good quality; I had the rogan josh and passanda, both of which I could eat 7 days a week. The area isn't the nicest, the decor is a little dated, but it's a fantastic place filled with Indian charm (and food).

The food is consistently excellent and there is an opulent feel to the decor. I particularly like the relaxed ambience. Fast food is not for me.

The service is of the highest quality and so is everything else in my opinion.

It is one of the best indian restaurants in Essex I have eaten at with efficient and friendly staff. The food is excellent with some interesting new dishes and plenty of traditional curries too.

They do not have a car park which is a bit of a pain but there are several car parks within walking distance

I love Pakistani food, and so am quite picky about the places I eat, and I love this restaurant…read more Considerably cheaper than a lot of competitors they cook their food in a glass encased kitchen so that customers can see just what is going on. They have a large selection of foods on their menu, from the mild to insanely spicy. Their kebabs are also fantastic, as is their naan. If you're in need of mild go for the korma dishes, the others tend to get progressively spicy. Service is quick and friendly. Unfortunately they don't do deliveries, so you have to pick up in a neighborhood that isn't all that conducive to driving. They do cater for large parties and have a rather large eat in section. There are also special deals for those who eat in.

Outstanding intimate Indian…read more So this little place is at a rougher end of town. Down a road that takes you off the main shopping street, littered with kebab houses and scruffy looking pubs and, erm, litter. Inside is clean and fresh, and the decor well thought about. Bronze elephant heads hold aloft red wall lights on bright white walls. There can't be much more than 20 covers, so it's a little cramped but clean and comfortable. I love it when the menu has something I've not seen before. Even better when your friendly waitress is happy to answer all of your questions about contents and size of portions. We all ordered something different and our waitress asked how hot we would like our food. Brilliant for a spice wimp like me. I wish I could remember what we all had. But I'll tell you this now: the only food left was the rice my toddler threw on the floor. I had a (admittedly boring) chicken korma. Lovely nutty sauce, generous on the meat and perfect with the milk appam (a kind pancake). My better half had the Sri Lankan mutton curry. Full of flavour, slightly sour and definitely full mutton flavour, and not lamb. Our rice portions were generous, 2 just about fed 5 adults along with 2 nans. Thin and crispy, not the doughy excuses for nans breads so prevailing in other curry houses. The aubergine side dish was one of my favourites. Warming and rich, I would happily eat that for every meal. The spinach in our aloo saag was fresh, and not frozen which which makes such a difference. My only complaint was the big standard out of the freezer selection of themed ice creams. However this was easily negated by a cocktail. So, between us we had 8 side dishes, 5 main courses, an alcoholic drink each and 4 puddings and the bill was under £80. For the quality of food and friendly service, totally amazing. If you are in Southend and want some indian food, I would not hesitate to recommend this place.
