"The customer service was terrible! Mr. Singh and his staff were more like Humpty Dumpty and a group of unhelpful street kids. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant."

"I have to say I was very surprised how bad my experience was with the Spice Merchant was. It started very badly with the food taking two hours to be delivered. This was after several calls over that period where we were told that the food was on its way and should be with us in five minutes. That was a bad start but the food was just as bad. The only saving grace were the starters of chicken lamb lollipops which were tasty. The main courses were all very disappointing, lacking spice and flavour. They were also swimming in oil. The breads were also flavourless. I don’t like to give reviews like this but in this case it is well deserved especially as it was extremely expensive. £150 for five people. For that kind of money it should have been allot better. Worst curry I have had I recent memory! Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40"

"While the food and ambience is good, I was taken aback when after booking via OpenTable the waitress was not able to find my booking. Furthermore, she stated we don't use OpenTable and so this was not a valid booking, inspite of my showing the email confirmation and the booking on the app. Wasn't a nice start to an evening when I was taking guests over there, but the food and service thereafter was decent. Pricing is a bit high, but then it has made a name and so was packed even on a Thursday evening. Worth visiting. Perhaps book directly."

"Zari is certainly one of the best Indian restaurants within 20 miles of East Grinstead. I've been there a couple of times a year for, probably, 4 years and it is always good and always busy. Don't be put off by the location in a rather mediocre 70s concrete block alongside equally mediocre fast food and grocery shops. Inside it's much better. Suits a group more than a tete a tete for two as it tends to be quite noisy. The atmosphere is enhanced by being able to see into the large and modern kitchen, which is only separated from customers by plate glass. The staff are friendly and attentive, even if some of them are a little hesitant in English. The menu is just about right. All the standard Indian dishes plus a good selection of Zari specials. Apart from samosas, everything I've had has been very good. Unfortunately the samosa are triangular pyramids with quite thick pastry as they are commonly made in Singapore (and parts of India). It's only a matter of taste, but personally I don't think you can beat the flat triangular samosas made with thin and flaky pastry. Conversely I've not had better nans or poppadoms."

"I tried Dangal for the first time and I will definitely be going back. The food is fresh, the aromas are fantastic, and there are dishes I've never encountered before. It is a bit more expensive than other takeaways, but the extra few pounds are worth it."

"very nice restaurant. love the interiors. beautiful looking place with a bar. and apparently they soon open a Sheesha lounge and look forward to it! had a great experience here. Eat: we started with Indian ingwer and Masala tea, which was really good, and pappadum. for the main course we ordered chicken tikka masala and a fried rice, dhaba chicken and pilaureis and Karahi sprout with plain naan. I must say we were not disappointed by any of the dishes. the food was delicious and portioned enough to fill it completely. price: a little expensive, too little for us students, but I would say it worth it. service: the staff is very polite and beautiful! very happy with the service. definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves or wants to try good Indian food!"

"I came here with my baby &pushchair) and friend. Though some other restaurants on the same street to one look at my buggy and said we should have made a reservation this Indian managed to sit us without waiting complication on a Saturday evening. The service was prompt yet we didn’t feel rushed to leave being given the bill until we asked for it. That was nice as my friend and I had a lot to catch up on. Now about the food. It was really tasty and presented very well. I couldn’t see a problem with this restaurant. If I had seen the restaurant review here on Google beforehand I would definitely not have eaten here but I’m glad I didn’t. Excellent place."

"The staff at the restaurant were unhelpful and denied knowing about our booking, despite having confirmation. They were dismissive when inquired about ingredients due to allergies, claiming all food was bought in. Service was slow, resulting in a member of our party not being able to eat their main dish. Dessert was served too hot and then taken away without permission. The disabled/baby changing toilet was not well-equipped. The set menu may not be advertised, so it's best to ask about its availability. Overall, our experience was disappointing."

"A group of friends and I visited Glasgow and stumbled upon this charming restaurant. I was impressed by the beautiful paintings on the walls that brought back childhood memories. However, the food was a letdown. We ordered fish pakora and chili chicken, but the presentation of the chili chicken was unconventional and not to our liking. The taste was also disappointing. The Gol Goppa was a standout dish. The chicken Chettinadu and prawn korma were okay, but lacked authenticity. The biryani was overly buttery, overshadowing the spices and fragrance. The naan was the highlight of the meal. The staff was polite and the service was efficient. Overall, this restaurant may not be suitable for those seeking authentic Indian cuisine."

"Dinner for 2. Return visit as I had been previously during the Eat out promotion with a friend and food had been excellent. Food was still very good although we thought the mixed vegetable platter starter was a bit greasy. Staff were very good and we had a nice evening. We would still recommend as there are some nice choices of the menu that differ from our usual Indian."

"this restaurant is a real hidden gem. there is an interesting and varied menu with some of which we had not seen before. the waiters gave excellent advice regarding selection and selection and are the most interested I can remember. we shared the hotplate for two between three of us and there were generous amounts of delicious and freshly cooked paprika. we ordered a selection of different curries for the main course and they were all well cooked and very tasteful. the portions were generous and we fought for the conclusion. the waiters were thrilled to discuss other dishes when we were finished and most pleasantly thanked us for the need and encouraged us again. we will definitely try if we are back in the opposite!"

"The Indian cuisine at this restaurant is fantastic. The staff is highly informed and helpful, and the majority of the menu items are gluten-free (unfortunately, naan bread is an exception). Overall, it's a wonderful place to visit, and they make a point to confirm that your meal is gluten-free when serving it."

"Sadly having to give 1 out of 5 due to the terrible experience with delivery. Food was delivered an hour and a half late. Was basically lied to when enquired by phone, ranging from its out for delivery, it’s left and should be there in 5 minutes, it hasn’t left yet as it’s on the hot plate, it’s leaving in 15 minutes, to the driver was delivering it and had a car accident and had to go to hospital. I sincerely hope the latter was not a lie, it’s a terrible one if it was, but I hope the driver was ok if genuine. Asked for a refund and to cancel the order and told could not get one as no one there to refund me. Food finally arrived. The food was actually really nice, but we were eating it so close to going to bed for the evening due to it’s late arrival, so even though the food was nice we didn’t really enjoy it. Suggest just honest with customers, if there’s a delay, explain why, we will understand. Will not use again based on this experience."

"This is the best Indian food we have had anywhere outside my mother inn laws kitchen. Authentic flavors, meat is tender, the mixed grill was to die for. Fish curry incredible and the biryani totally floated my boat, Service was prompt, and friendly, yes seating is a little tight and portions a little on the small side, but for this area it is still amazing value, you will not find a better Indian. I am eating the leftovers cold for breakfast : What a treat !"

"We live nearby and usually avoid restaurants that serve meat, so we were hesitant to try this one for a long time, even though it seemed quite accommodating for vegans. However, we finally decided to give it a chance last week, and we had a surprisingly wonderful experience. All vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, and the chef even made the dal makhani vegan upon our request."

"I had some time to spare in the area so decided to bring some friends for a drink and a small snack here. The Waitress on duty seemed to be grossly overworked and had little clue what to do. It took a long time for her to come and take an order, we had to ask several times. It then took even longer for some of the drinks to arrive, one of the Drinks was missing, the Waitress did not say a word and walked away. Only after several further reminders did she bring the remaining drink. We then had to ask several times about the food, which she eventually did bring. As I did not have the time nor the patience to wait for her to bring the bill, I went to the Bar and paid somebody else behind the Bar counter. I then went to retrieve the car key from the Concierge, not entirely sure what happened, but the person there muttered something along the line that the usual Concierge was not there and that he did not know exactly what to do. He then could not give me any change and also no receipt of the money paid for the car parking, when asked for a receipt he said that the usual Concierge would normally deal with this and that he could not issue a receipt. Altogether a very disappointing experience, and quite embarrassing in front of my guests. I certainly won't bring any of my guests there again so soon."
