  “It's not often I get home from a restaurant and immediately write a review, but this fantastic meal deserved it 100% WOW, the flavours are insanely good and the service is lovely. If I walked past Madrasi's I probably wouldn't have noticed it to be honest, its a modest looking place. However it was recommended to me by a supplier of mine who is from Southern India, and when I asked where his favourite place is in Brighton and Hove for authentic food, he didn't hesitate to suggest Madrasi's. We booked for three of us, me and two of my chefs from work, but one had to cancel (her loss!) so we decided to order for three people anyway and still try several dishes! We were not disappointed and everything was so delicious and FULL of flavour. I can't wait to have the takeaway leftovers for lunch tomorrow! My two favourite dishes were the Methi Paneer curry- it was rich and silky, and plenty of paneer, and the ghee spicy dosa - just WOW! All the sauces to dip were different and tasty, and the edges of the dosa were crispy and perfectly seasoned with salt & spices. It's great value, super friendly and attentive service, and absolutely banging Indian food. It's refreshing to have to choose from dishes with names I havent heard of before, rather than the usual English version of Indian currys!!!!”

  “We had a delicious meal here - excellent dosa masala, the cauliflower fried with Manchurian sauce was exceptional, amazing tasty saag paneer, tarkha dhal was perfect & much more. The lighting could help with being dimmed & warmer to offer a more relaxed atmosphere. The service is great with friendly & knowledgeable staff. Can highly recommend.”

  “Hired madrasi for a private event (30 people) and it was the highlight of the day. We still receive compliments about how fantastic the food was and the service was flawless! They turned up, set up and started serving the food. No drama, just smiling faces and great food! We had chilli chicken, onion bhajis, gobi Manchurian, lamb biryani, butter chicken, naans, veg curry, and gulab jamun for dessert. The staff are so friendly and so happy to help with any questions. Plus the portion sizes were great, enough for everyone to have seconds and thirds. You’ve gained a good few customers I think! Thank you so much!”

  “I’ve lived in Brighton & Hove since 2018, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a better takeaway curry than this! I can’t believe I have been sleeping on MADRASI for so long - the food is so fresh and flavoursome, and so reasonably priced for what you get. I really enjoyed the kadai chicken curry, and my husband’s fish moli curry was so light and refreshing. The pilau rice was spiced perfectly to compliment the dishes, and the pappadums were fabulous. We also ordered onion bhajis - these were a generous size, really fluffy inside, and had a deliciously crispy exterior. I am now looking forward to visiting the restaurant in person, rather than just taking away - cannot wait to sample more incredible cooking from this hidden gem! 😍🥘🇮🇳”

  “Madrasi Taste of South Indian one of the most authentic South Indian restaurants you’ll find in the Brighton & Hove area. Located in the heart of Hove, just a short hop from central Brighton, this place is a true gem if you’re craving real South Indian flavours—especially their dosas, which are absolutely spot-on and hard to find elsewhere around here. We’ve been here multiple times, and every visit has been consistently great. The menu offers a wide range of dishes—from crispy starters to comforting mains—and the food is always fresh, well-spiced, and very reasonably priced. You really do get excellent value for the quality. The restaurant does get busy on weekends, so it’s best to book ahead. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe is relaxed but authentic. If you’re after a proper taste of South India in Brighton or Hove, this is the place. Highly recommend!”

  “We went on a Friday evening for dinner with the family and I’m glad we booked ahead because the restaurant is small but very busy. At first I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it but the food completely surprised me, everything we ordered was authentic, full of flavor and absolutely delicious. The hosts were attentive and kept checking in which made the experience even better. The only downside is that it is not really a spot for a quiet meal since it is lively and gets quite loud, but if you are looking for amazing Indian food this hidden gem is worth it.”
