In a rural location housed in a fiormer coaching inn, The Raja of Kent - not to be confused with it's equally fine sister restaurant in Maidstone - has plenty of parking. The menu, whilst featuring all the usual suspects - King Prawn Butterfly, Chicken Tikka Masala, Pasanda, et al - contains many unique and unusual dishes fishes , Duck Tiikka, Aromatic Mussels, Venison Karahi, Chlli Scallops, using ingredients sourced fromlocal suppliers. The cooking is first rate but the pricing surprisingly modest. Starters are around the £3.25 to £4.75 mark, and mains mostly £5.95 to £7.95.

It ain't bad, it's just predictable. You could probably recount their menu & you haven't even been there................. There is, though, one point that has been foolishly missed by other Qypers. This is a 400 year old building with an inglenook fireplace & these guys have really gone to work on it. The fireplace (& remember, it's large) is sprayed sparkly sky blue and proudly boasts a super bad taste water feature thingy. It's SHOCKING!!!!!!!!! I'll try & take a sneaky photo & post it up shortly. Fantastically, this horror is protected by a perspex screen. I think it stops people vomiting on it. **STOP PRESS** ENJOYED AN EXCELLENT TANDOORI KING PRAWN LAST FRIDAY, DEFFO NOW WORTH 4 STARS!!!!!!

I have chicken tikka balti, rice, naan, Bombay potatoes, hubby had Monkfish masala, duck chaat, onion Bhajis and rice. The chicken was a tiny but tough but the flavours were incredible. I was full up and still kept eating it as it was the good. Spot on, the best balti I've had in a couple of years. He said the Monkfish was delicious and just fell apart, cooked perfectly. The onion bhajis were the best he has ever had apparently. The service was attentive. The atmosphere was a bit lacking. But, if you're near this place then you absolutely have to pop in! All in all excellent! I'm licking my lips as I've typed this.

Unbelievable! An incredible meal, one of the most enjoyable I've had in Eastbourne. I ordered the…read morechana masala and mutar paneer (side dishes, as there aren't many vegetarian options for the main dishes here). The food was absolutely breath taking - all the right spices in all the right places, and thick layers of ghee atop each dish. The paneer was perfectly firm and fried slightly to give a small amount of crisp. That dish had a little more heat than the chana. Coriander added the freshness to the nice amount of heat included in both dishes. I enjoyed sopping up everything at the end with my garlic naan, as the rice portions (charged separately) here are fairly small. The naan was so delicious, crispy and chewy all at the same time, perfect. It wasn't nearly expensive as I thought! About 35 British pounds for the whole meal (including also a seafood curry for my grandmother and some filtered water). Please go here!! You will love it forever.

Greeted almost immediately by the manager and escorted to our table with minimal wait or fuss. There was a waiter within minutes ready to take down our selection of drinks- which arrived in a matter of seconds. Now Im sure you're imaging an empty indian restaurant, however the place was ram jam full! Its impressive that they managed to keep the level of service so high. The dishes on the menu were plentiful and delicious just to read. The atmosphere was warm and friendly- the yellow single roses on each table made the place beautiful. We each selected the Chicken Dhansak and Peshwari Naan. The expression eat till you explode could have possibly been turned into reality yesterday. Though we were all full- the food was just too good to waste. The sizes were perfect and east dish was perfectly spiced with minimal oil. My only fault would be the noise level. It proved difficult to hear the person opposite you. But I can hardly fault the restaurant for that. The meal was completed with a complimentary drink and after eight chocolate. I say my work was done well.
