Unfortunately not a great experience. The room is nice. The service was lacking. We were sat and…read morethen had to wait almost 10 minutes (restaurant was only half full) just to order our drinks. It took another 10 minutes to get the drinks (2 bottles of beer & a chili mojito). Ordered our food (1 veg, 2 meat Thalis) which then took almost an hour. When it came the food was sadly mediocre. Flavour was lacking (how that's possible with a curry I don't know), my wife who is Indian almost asked for salt (but couldn't find a server). Once we finished eating the server was nowhere to be found. Ended up going and finding a different server to pay the bill. Positives: good room, ice cold beer. Maybe an off day but with so many choices out there, we won't be back.

We sat at the front of the restaurant and there was live music being played on the piano. We very much enjoyed the music but the staff also asked us if we were happy with the volume and where we were sat which was much appreciated. The food was delicious, authentic Indian, not greasy, and not a korma insight. We had a few items from the street food menu and a main, the waiter explained what everything was and the various dips when they were served. They also provide extensive gluten, vegan and dairy free dishes, all of which are clearly displayed on the menu. I know they've received several restaurant awards and frequently feature in Brighton's top 10 restaurants so I'd definitely recommend booking ahead. I just wish I'd remembered to take some pictures!

This is only my second time trying Indian food but it was delicious with lots of unique tastes. The service was beyond anything I've experienced in the UK. They gave us roses, chocolate, orange slices, and warm wipes when we were finished, needless to say it was above and beyond.

This place ROCKS. I…read moredon't think I will ever be able to enjoy a curry that isn't from here. They've ruined me for life. We ordered a MASSIVE amount off the menu (go hard or go home, kids) and demolished the lot because its so good! We had the lamb, the salmon, chicken, dosa and loads of sides and naans and things. The staff are exceptional here and I would seriously recommend it just based on the staff, even if the awards and food do speak for themselves. 100% the best curry in Brighton. Don't go anywhere else.

Noori's is a lovely little Indian restaurant in the Lanes, tucked away by Hotel du Vin and the Old…read moreShip. It is quite hard to stumble across, but a worthy excursion point: the food is excellent, if a little Anglicised: this isn't traditional Indian food, but there's nothing wrong with that. Apart from that, the whole set-up seems to scream posh-Indian, although the prices and food really don't reflect that: a real mixed bag, this place. Noori's is a bit of a confusing evening out: everything seems to be incongruous. However, from a really basic perspective, Noori's does serve very nice food. The curries aren't too hot, the selection is pretty standard, but expansive, and it all tastes great. Living in Brighton, there are plenty of places that claim to give you authentic Indian cuisine: Noori's is much more your standard British-Indian fare. As such, it is uneventful, if perfectly lovely dining. Apart from the food, Noori's is otherwise a little confusing. The space to sit down is quite big, yet often empty: probably because it's so hard to find. The decor is faux-glam: you might feel underdressed when you first enter, but then realise that no one else there has dressed up, and I doubt anyone ever has to come here. Also, apart from the look of Noori's, little really says "glamorous". All in all, it's a rather peculiar dining experience: give it a try, but don't expect the world from Noori's: it's not the best, nor the most authentic Indian experience in Brighton.

I've been meaning to try Lal Akash in Leatherhead ever since the Epsom branch, which I enjoyed,…read moreclosed down. So, last Friday, my salsa friend and I finally took the opportunity to try it out before we went dancing. The Leatherhead branch is very plush with nice comfy chairs and personalised crockery and chocolates! The staff were very friendly from the moment we walked in, being the perfect mix of helpfulness and not hovering. The menu is quite extensive with some interesting and unique dishes, several of which are in photos to give you and idea of what they look like - where's scratch and sniff when you need it to enhance the pictures? The popaddoms came with 6 chutneys and dips - I'm all about the dips and they went down well. My mango lassi was satisfyingly thick and velvety We settled on the chicken jeera and ghost (lamb) e-laziz. The portions were huge and despite the aim being not to stuff ourselves before dancing, we had little bellies by the time we walked out! The chicken jeera was packed with flavour and was the better dish. The lamb was advertised as hot, sweet and sour. Even for a seasoned curry eater like me, it was a little too hot, especially if you happen to catch a stray fresh chilli. Still, I suppose the menu warned that it would be hot! We will be back as there are still lots of dishes to try on the menu and I'm glad the Lal Akash spirit lives on
