Mandarins

Visited Mandarins several times. Once for breakfast and several times for dinner. Each time we were able to eat outside. Food is excellent and well presented. Eve the owner is great. She ensures restaurant has a high standard. Will definitely want to return next time in Eastbourne.

Malayalam allows customers until 10pm so it was a great choice to go for a meal to soak up all the alcohol from this year's beer festival. The choice for vegans is great! We opted for a few small dishes, such as spicy potatoes, aubergine fritters, onion fritters and a masala dosa. We left Malayalam full and with a tasty warmth in our mouths. It was incredible. We will have to return to try one of their curries.

My friends and I recently visited Malayalam Mother's Cuisine for breakfast, and we had a pleasant experience overall. The restaurant stood out with its cleanliness, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted with warm smiles and seated promptly. The ambiance was inviting, with a comfortable and clean dining area. It was evident that the restaurant takes great care in maintaining a hygienic environment, which was highly appreciated. The highlight of our breakfast experience was the pappadum. They were perfectly crispy and had a delightful taste. We couldn't resist ordering another round! The flavors were authentic and left us craving for more. However, we felt that the uttappa fell a bit short of our expectations. While it was decent, we believe it could have been better in terms of taste and texture. It lacked the distinctive flavors we were hoping for, but it was still enjoyable. Despite this minor setback, the overall service and dining experience were commendable. The staff members were attentive and helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their friendly nature created a welcoming atmosphere, making us feel right at home. In conclusion, Malayalam Mother's Cuisine is a clean and inviting restaurant with exceptional service. Their delicious pappadum was the highlight of our breakfast, although we felt the uttappa could be improved. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a pleasant dining experience with authentic flavors. We will definitely be returning to try more of their menu offerings! Kudos to Stanley for giving us the best experience

Very friendly waiters, they explain the menu and make great suggestions. Quick service for starters, mains and desserts. There are spicy options and mild options. The chicken and lamb is very high quality meat, best in Eastbourne I've tried so far. The herbs and spices were so tasty and not too much.

First visit, new favourite. Nice interior, good atmosphere. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about food, asked intelligent questions about how you like your food, how spicy etc, excellent service. The food is 5 star, really very good. Everything from starters on had a bit of "Wow, this is SO good" about it. Lots of vegetarian options, lots of seafood, extensive varied menu. Was googling as soon as possible to try to find the recipe for things, (the Rasacharu soup starter is a simple bit of genius, my other half had a first taste & said, "I want the recipe, I want a bucket of this"). I guess we'll just have to go again ASAP.. Will be back soon!

After a long walk alongside the beach, walked into this Kearalese-Malayalam restaurant for a bite. The ambiance was great, excellent location (right off the beach near to Pier) and good service. My mum wanted Masala Dosa as she was yearning for one after eating soups and beans across Eastbourne! Dosa was crispy and tasty and so are the chutneys that were served with it. We had chappattis which were pretty tasty, served with Aubergine +Tomato curry. In addition to this curry, we’ve also ordered Dal and Spinach which was mild but awesome flavoursome! The lemon rice was a treat - rich in flavour, it had excellent lemony-tangy taste with dals giving us a munch bite. It was a wholesome meal with a Payasam as a gorgeous treat! PS: I’m a vegetarian so unfortunately can’t comment on the non-veg dishes, sorry!
