We were very impressed with the quality, flavours, portions and service (ordered a takeaway for collection)! The food was DELICIOUS!!! Really authentic, homecooked but of high standard. The Dhal Makhani was my favourite. Will definitely visit/order from in the future and recommend.

Wonderful food and a very friendly welcome. Our favourite dish was the stuffed baby aubergines, which was a family recipe. All the dishes tasted super fresh, with rich and specific spicing to each dish we tasted.

Good food period. Pretty much everything was on point, maybe a little oily but who cares. It's a splurge and indulging and excellent. The To-go section is great and so is the service and there is parking closeby. Go Enjoy!

Authentic Indian home cooking, do not compare this Indian to a local takeaway. This is an actual restaurant with the best spices and fresh ingredients money can buy. This is the best Indian I have ever had every meal is packed with flavour and you can taste all the different spices, why this restaurant does not have a Michellen star I don’t know. Best Indian I have been to by far in the whole of East Sussex a rare and beautiful find ❤️

Excellent food; really authentic, varied and interesting flavours, textures and spice levels. Service was perfect, friendly, informative helpful. Beer was cold. What more could you ask for on a Friday night?

This is one of the best genuinely authentic regional Indian restaurants I have eaten in, in the U.K. a favourite of mine. I’m posting this as I am Surprised (but not surprised) by some of the comments stating it’s different to normal curry house food or not « spicy » enough. It is spicy. But the depth of flavours are more complex because it is genuine (Gujarati-i think home cooking). It’s not pure chilli hit, for the English standard curry house food. I personal recommend the Thalis and the vegetarian ones. Best set of flavours and lovely to have a mix. The Mango lassi and buttermilk lassi are good too.

We went in for valentines day, food was fantastic (the Hydrabadi chicken was amazing) & cooked perfectly. Service was great, atmosphere was great. Worth visiting for a curry!

I was staying at premier Inn 2 minutes walk away and ordered ahead. They nicely phoned me to say it was ready for collection. It seems to have a nice atmosphere in the place with some character. Ordered chicken jalfrezi, palui rice, chana masala, bread and drink for £30. Good to better standard of curry.

I absolutely love Chaula's! The food is always so fresh and vibrant and feels so much more authentic than typical Indian Restaurants. Their vegetarian dishes are as good as good, if not better than many of their meat dishes because they are more traditional. None of the dishes have that floating-in-ghee look or taste that is common elsewhere which is brilliant. They make delicious Lassi too! The staff are always friendly and polite, even when it's clearly a busy night. I can't wait to be able to eat in the restaurant again!

Booked a table about 45 mins before we turned up and they very kindly accommodated our party of 7. The food was delicious and fresh, and love that they make nimbu paani (fresh-squeezed lime soda) and lassi. A really reasonably priced place that also sells some of its spices and curries to go/ stock in the freezer. Only removed a star because some of the staff were a bit blunt/ terse on occasion, which I suppose was because they were full.

We had an absolutely brilliant meal here. The service was incredibly helpful and attentive with all aspects of the menu. We had 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 rice and 1 naan and left very satisfied and full. All was cooked very well and the flavours were delicious. There was a great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, all labelled on the menu, and the staff were very helpful with any questions we had about the cooking of the dishes. Couldn't recommend more for a lovely meal!
