Old Cottage Indian - Chichester

We made a spontaneous decision to try this restaurant and it exceeded our expectations. Despite its unappealing exterior, the inside was impeccably clean. Sha provided exceptional service and the food, from the poppadoms to the curry dishes, was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic and delightful, and all four of us agreed that it was the best Indian food we've had in a long time. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience - we look forward to returning in the future.

Appalling food and service. Popadoms were not fresh and had a slight mouldy taste, couldn 't finish them. The lamb chops starter arrived promptly and my teeth ached trying to chew these lumps of fat sprinkled with curry powder on top. Meat madras arrived, lots of gravy with 2 small cubes of meat cut into 20 pieces. Tandouri mixed grill looked and sounded authentic, but was dry. Waiter was unfriendly. The worst Indian meal we have ever had anywhere in the world. A waste of money. Agree with the reviewer who said wouldn 't take their dog to eat here zero stars had to put 1 just send.

This is the worst Indian food we have ever tasted. It was really bad. I would recommend eating from a gutter nearby instead, it was terrible.

The food at this restaurant was delicious, especially the rogan josh which was the best I've ever had. However, the staff left a negative impression as the manager was rude and disrespectful towards them, swearing and being arrogant. Due to the poor treatment of the staff, I would not consider returning to this restaurant.

I absolutely love Indian food , but this was possibly the worst takeaway I have ever had. It was inedible ! The chicken was so over cooked that you could not even chew it. The sauce was like water and the nann and rice was soggy and very undercooked. The whole dish was completely tasteless. When I rang to tell the Indian I could not consume the food and aired my disappointment , the man who answered was rude and dismissive. He would not address my complaint nor be apologetic. He refused to replace the order. This is shocking service, I would not recommend them and will certainly not be ordering from them again !
