I’ve gotta be honest, this is the best curry in Brighton by a country mile. I’ve tried most of them, and have to hand it to these guys. The curries are perfect, and it’s actually affordable. You don’t have to pay extra for rice. One thing that would be amazing if possible is if they did a garlic cheese naan
Best Indian food in town and I’ve tasted the real deal during multiple trips to India.
Honestly some of the best curry in Brighton considering the price. It’s my local so consider the bias, however the service is always speedy and the quality is always spot on. Definitely the place to go in Kemptown and worth the trip from Queen’s Park terrace and beyond!
Been coming to this place for over 15 years never once had an issue. Also the bs reviews about that traditional paneer comes with cheese ignore them lol. 5/5 stars i honstely don't know how people can only give 4 stars the food is always hot, fresh and tasty.
This deceptively compact building is a bit of a Tardis, room upon room bars and restaurant areas, mostly attractive decor and a welcoming atmosphere. It was a bit noisy but then it was busy, with everyone having a good time The food was average price and service cheerful (students), but nothing remarkable here. It was at least as good as the next place... Wine prices are ridiculous, stick to beer!
I live near Brighton and have wanted to go to the Walrus for sometime. My son and I went for Sunday lunch yesterday and had the first sitting. Staff absolutely lovely, relaxed style but very on point. Our meal came almost immediately. The plates worryingly were cold (odd) I have subsequently seen the other reviews on here about cold Sunday lunch..... my roast chicken was amazing, warm and tender. My son had the lamb. However the potatoes were hard i.e. cooked and microwaved. I asked for some 'hot gravy' which came in a boat which was luke warm. The vegetables were not a plenty but lots of potatoes! By this time the restaurant was hideously busy. I actually tried to get a waiters attention (we were in a lovely corner seat) and that was impossible. The food is very well flavoured, but I thought if I finally got someone to take my plate away and heat the food (my son said his was 'ok' temperature wise' - my son would have been finished with his food. It became a silly conundrum! Overall, beautiful venue, could be good food but really not hot or even warm and I could kick myself for not sending it back. It would have created the wrong vibe with my son and I didn't want to do that.
First time ordering and have to say very very impressed. Every single part of order was beautifully made. Meat curry had loads of meat in! Super tasty. Will definitely be ordering again.
After ordering a chicken tikka chilli Balti tonight my partner had started to eat his meal and thought the ‘chicken’ was chewy and tasted funny. He then realised he was actually eating lamb! My partner hasn’t eaten lamb for over 10 years so it was a bit of a shock! On telephoning the curry house to complain, my partner was spoken to as if he was lying! Raj told him ‘We are extra special when we prepare your meals’!! ‘We need to see the packaging!’ Now the reason Mumbai Express are so careful with our food is because I’m a vegetarian and twice now I have been eating my vegetarian dish and there has been chicken in it! But the worst reason for Mumbai express double checking our meals is because on 15th February 2019 I was eating my vegetarian dansak and I bit into what I thought was onion skin. After removing it from my mouth I realised it was 2 skin colour plasters stuck together and you could actually see the blood on the white part of the dressing and this had been in my mouth! The manager quickly came to my house and apologised for this and took the plasters away with him! Now why did we go back? Because we thought we’d give them another chance! But over and over and over again they’ve made mistakes…. But not just little mistakes! But it’s the way they actually deal with you as a customer! They are rude and abusive and basically call you a liar! Here attached are pictures of tonight’s mistake… clearly says Lb tikka balti … should have been Garlic chilli chicken tikka balti and also attached photos of the plasters I removed from my mouth from my vegetarian dansak!
This is a little gem on the vast take away scene in Brighton. They've been around for many years & I never had a bad experience ordering from them. Food is lovely, great choice of dishes & very good value for money. The Batli today was perfect, succulent pieces of chicken, very flavoursome and generous portion. Friendly customer service & a very kind & chirpy in house delivery driver. Looking forward to my next curry!
Cannot give more than this 1 star. Two issues I noticed. 1. Ordered Matar Paneer, but I in turn received cheese Matar. Full of only cheese, may be it was mozerella. Totally incorrect order and never thought cheese and paneer are same. 2. Store is part of AMEX shop small, when I swiped the card - none worked. No AMEX card was successful when swiped. Amex customer service representative updated the merchant transaction didn't reach Amex and it is the merchant side problem.
