Garlic chilli chicken and lamb Korma was ordered. We decided to eat early as was passing. We are not locals.
I?ve read some of the reviews and can see their points made about the restaurant.
For my experience.
I was concerned by the mint sauce for the poppadoms being offered with a glowing orange consistency.
That much food colouring worried me as did the pilau rice that we ordered coming out coloured yellow.
Some of these colourings are very dated to old BIR. (British Indian restaurants) which tend to be Bengali run)
I think the restaurant caters to its regulars it?s been going so long 30+ years.
Very reasonably priced considering the equivalent in Brighton can be 13-17£.
Food was ok. So I can?t complain.
Really the korma tasted of butter and almonds as it should. We asked that it wasn?t too sweet. And they catered for that.
The garlic chicken had a lot of garlic and chilli which was nice and not a compromise to see.
The owner and staff were friendly enough and yes can see that such a small restaurant they could overwhelm if they were quiet.
Some noted the food came out very quickly and all together.
We got this.
I think more the point is get them fed get ready for the next attitude.
Unfortunately because this was a low key experience I didn?t take pictures right from the get go. But here are a few bad ones. Apologies.

Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala with mushroom rice for a main coarse. Starters Poppadoms and salad were good.
Unfortunately the main meal was very poor, no taste to it and very sloppy. Was expecting better.

Really expected a lovely meal. Unfortunately ended up binging the whole meal. Spent £ 40 pounds disappointed.
Struggling with food places I Hassocks.

I went for a meal here with a friend and the food wasn't great. The restaurant was empty and the waiters kept coming to our table asking if we needed a top up or anything else.
I know they were probably just trying to look after us, but I just wanted to catch up with my friend.

I don?t get takeout Indian food very often, but when I do, I?m so lucky to have Sunam Tandoori right in the heart of my village on the high street! It?s a proper old-school local ?curry house,? and the food is always so fresh and full of flavor, with generous portions and great prices. Plus, the guys who welcome you are always super friendly, making it feel even more special!
