Good Curry Houses in Brighton

[Pogue Mahone]

I quite like Indiana, and Ashoka, and that one in Rottingdean - Sea of Spice...but if you're looking for a takeaway, it's GOT to be Nishat Tandoori in Preston Street. Sublime...

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

With you on that one- very popular with a number of Albion fans who can often be found there. I would add The Curry Mahal which is in Portland Road to the list of good ones.

Indeed. I ALWAYS see [MENTION=259]Jack Straw[/MENTION] in there every Sunday. In fact, I even switched to a Saturday this week and he was still in there.

It's posh curry innit. Dont expect a Lamb madras!
Comparing it to Nandos is like comparing Bayern Munich to Palace.

and Nando's is posh chicken, so the comparsion seems suitable.

 

[Pat McCrotch]

Karim's in Blatchington Rd is different gravy

My second home!
No one makes a chicken tikka madras like they do at the Ganges.
I've been a regular there since it opened 20 years ago after having the most beautiful Indian meal ever.
The staff are wonderful too. They are lovely, lovely people and very knowledgeable about football which is always a plus.
If you live in Haywards Heath, there is a Ganges take-away there, run by the same people.
The chef is the man who cooked my first curry 20 years ago!

Hove Tandorri or Homaira Tandorri (Waterloo Street) for take away

You're not wrong. They are lovely people.

For me, Planet India.

Hove tandoori for me or Indian Summer for a different twist. Used to like Ganges but not impressed the last couple of times. They do the worst balti I've ever had - devoid of flavour. Thought they'd left out some spices the first time but exactly the same when I tried again.

Sri india

This place was recommended on a thread last time - had their signature dish, bloody awful, will never listen to nsc again! Was like heinz tom soup, spiced up and very few pieces of meat.
Having said that i don't really like british curry. Been to india twice backpacking and loved the food, never found anything particularly decent back home though...

I prefer the British take on Indian food. I have been to a number of more authentic places but much prefer the western dishes. That said I love those Pakistani places which serve up dry burn meat rubbed in spice. Yum yum.

 

[Plake]

Chilli Pickle is outstanding for lunch. The complete polar opposite to Nandos wtf.

Indian Summer very special too, good for a romantic meal.

For good quality gribsy cuzrod I go to Pavel on St James's.

Had a delivery from there a while ago, Portions were tiny, which was handy because everything tasted like shit

Don't understand how people don't like Chilli Pickle. Been there twice (old location+new location) and its great, very interesting food, great flavours, great cuts of meat. Only problem I had last time, was 2 sets of couples pissed up, who ended up having a blazing row between the 4 of them!

 

[Notters]

ashoka.

 

[tubaman]

I've had two very successful visits to 'Spice' on the Old Shoreham Road, Hove near what used to be the heart of BHA.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

It just has to be the raj pavilion. Fantastic service, awesome food ....I'm hungry just thinking about it !!!

 

[Brownstuff]

A curry would go down a treat now watching the tennis but alas not enough shekels
All the curry houses along Church Road,Hove are good and never had a dodge one in the Indiana (been there 10 plus times)
