"Before I start, I want to say that the restaurant owner has reached out to us to apologize and make this right. This review is based on the events of the night. TLDR: Starters took an hour to arrive, and we gave up on further food after 90 minutes and left. Were told the order had not gone through the system, but the front of house staff didn’t notice we weren’t eating or clear the empty glasses from our table and ask if we wanted a second round. We watched other tables eat 3 courses (although we were not the only table who left unhappy). We were a table of 5 who booked in for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We had to leave a £10 per person deposit to hold the table, fair enough. The website also stated that we had to pre order our meals, which seems a little strange for a table of 5 (I could understand if we were twice as many). A phone call confirmed that we didn’t have to pre order, so the website could do with updating as this might put people off. We arrived a few minutes early, sat down and ordered some cocktails and then our food (starters and main course). After an hour we had finished our drinks, the empties hadn’t been cleared away and nobody asked if we wanted more. We then asked what had happened to our starters and suggested some chips and dip for the table while we waited. After checking we were told that our starters were being plated up and there was not point in getting chips (one of our party wasn’t having a starter and by then was getting pretty hungry). The starters were delicious when we finally got them. After flagging down a server for another round of drinks, we waited, watching other table arrive after us, and be served their meals. I was beginning to wonder if we had done something wrong when I saw someone from another table to go the kitchen hatch and collect their own food (they later also left the restaurant unhappy). When we did ask what the delay was, the staff were not helpful, or apologetic. We finally gave up on getting our food and left. During the evening the owner (also the chief) was in the kitchen working away. He seemed unaware of the issues going on in the front of house, and nobody apologised to us, or offered to put things right until we left (the owner did email us the next day and has been working with us to make amends)."

"If you aren't eating here, what are you even doing with your life. The food is on another level. A whole different plane of existence. Im pretty sure that dhal is from another world, it tastes too good. Your not going to go wrong here. Also the people who run the place are so lovely. If I could rate it 6 stars I would. One of the best food places in East Sussex. Criminally underated."

"Have been here several times and always go for the evening buffet. Which you can do at lunch or dinner time. It £29.99 a person but you can eat, as much as you like. The portions are small which is great as it means you can have lots of different things rather than the masses they give you when you order a take away. Service is always good, food hot and delicious. Really recommend. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Egg Fried Rice, Chicken Chop Suey, King Prawns with Oyster Sauce, Special Fried Rice, Ribs, Pork Dishes, Crispy Seaweed, Sirloin Beef Dishes, Chicken Chow Mein Recommendation for vegetarians: Somewhat recommend Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labeled vegetarian dishes"

"We recently attended one of the nights of Xmas live music nights, discovered they have the best cocktails in town and it was absolutely incredible atmosphere... great fun! Honestly can't recommend this place enough whether you are having a couples date night, family meal...or wanting to party with friends on a live music night there is something for all and have now gone a few times. The staff are so friendly and welcoming every time we have gone in. Food is great, freshly cooked specials and classics and there's always a treat for our dog if we are passing on a dog walk. Looking forward to some cosy music nights in a warm friendly atmosphere and a couple more of those cheeky porn star martinis!"

"I have been using this Restaurant since it opened . The waitress is actually very funny ,her sarcasm is in humour not rudeness we often chuckle at her comments and she smiles at us cheekily. She works very hard on her own all night provides a good service . .The food is fabulous, I used to live in Thailand and I am used to Thai food. I know it’s missing some authentic Thai veg but we aren’t always able to buy these items here in Sussex and I believe they do the best they can. The food is never anything but excellent in our opinion. It’s our favourite restaurant in bexhill ."
