About BLUE INDIA LEWES - Indian Restaurant

On West St in Lewes, Blue India Lewes is an Indian restaurant serving the room on a walk-in basis. The menu includes tandoori salmon, served sizzling with fried onions, tomatoes, and red pepper, alongside chicken dhansak and a chef's special roast chicken. After the meal, the restaurant offers diners a complementary brandy or Baileys to close out the visit. The format keeps the room open to anyone arriving without a reservation, making it straightforward to drop in from West St. Between the tandoori dish, the dhansak, and the roast chicken, the menu spans both familiar curry-house staples and a chef's own preparation, rounded off by the post-meal drink that accompanies the bill.

    “We recently visited Blue India in Lewes for a team dinner, and it was an absolute standout experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and huge respect, making us feel right at home immediately. This is easily the top Indian restaurant in town. If you are looking for high-quality food and stellar service in East Sussex, I highly recommend Blue India. We will definitely be back!”

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the warm welcome and friendly, attentive staff, with the food close behind. The chicken dhansak and the chef's special roast chicken are called succulent and tasty, and the tandoori salmon is described as arriving sizzling with fried onions, tomatoes and red pepper. Reviewers mention good portions, fresh vegetables, sauces and heat that were just right, and dishes adjusted to taste, such as a hot korma vindaloo. A party booked on short notice was accommodated, and one reviewer mentions fast delivery. The main complaints concern pacing. One reviewer describes a very long wait in which hot plates were brought out and then taken back, and says the manager accused the table of lying about their arrival time. Another found service a bit slow, though food came out quickly once ordered. Several reviewers close on small gestures: a waiter who stepped in when a dhansak was too spicy, and complimentary brandy or Baileys offered after the meal.
