BLUE INDIA LEWES - Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Lewes

My friend booked a table for Saturday 9th August 8pm when we got there it was very busy, we went to the front desk and was told that they didn't have a reservation for us, although we had a confirmation email of the booking. We were told to sit by the bar and he would get it sorted. We sat on a small square table nowhere near big enough for the three of us and ordered drinks. A short time after we were moved to a bigger table. We sat down for about 20 minutes and a waiter dropped some poppadoms and chutneys on the table and took our order. After another 30 minutes one of the starters came out but nothing else, we tried to catch the waiters attention to ask where is our order he said 1 more table and ours will be ready, another 45 minutes passed with nothing looking like anything was coming to us, so we decided to leave. I certainly will never...

Came with a group of people and had a borderline nightmarish service experience. The food was alright, although a little bland and the portions were certainly smaller.

The waiter pushed starters on us without mentioning it wasn’t complementary, which ended up costing £14. He was hostile when we asked questions about the food, and made sure to add snark remarks in between orders.

After the meal when a member asked for separate check, the waiter sarcastically remarked “no we don’t offer those, this is not a McDonald’s.” Our group was forced to calculate our individual payments as the restaurant refused to simply allow us to go down the receipt and pay for what we ordered (as every other restaurant does).

Overall, the food was mediocre but the service was some of the worst I’ve ever...

A beautiful indian restaurant, very tasty food. Love the idea of sharer starter for 2. Although popadums did not taste freshly cooked, they were crispy. The pickles that come with could have done with more chopped onion, their version had small pieces carrot, which was lovely and the smooth mango chutney had cumin lovely change to it x We chose 2 mains and a mix of side dishes, all very tasty.

Worth noting, get there as close to opening as possible, that way the little car park (west street car park) not so full. No space by time we came out tho.

Highly recommended. Clean, well decorated. Customer service brilliant. Even the toilets were nice.

Shame 3 hours away from where I live. Well worth the visit....
