“Waited over an hour, given hot plates for our upcoming food 45 minutes in, then had them swiped away for an other 15 minutes while our stomach's groaned. The manager accused us of lying about the time we arrived at the restaurant to make it …”

“Really really nice food. Tandoori salmon came sizzling with fried onions, tomatoes, red pepper - was delicious. Both garlic + special rice were very nice, complementary brandy's or baileys was offered after the meal, although it was denied. Very polite, helpful and kind servers were easy to talk to, nice in conversation and took our picture 😁 Will definitely be returning! Come here if you're in Lewes.”
