Absolutely phenomenal, couldn't fault this darling restaurant situated in Pevensey. It was highly recommended by our bnb host and when myself and five other friends arrived and sat down we knew we were in for a treat. Very kind and helpful waiters, lovely background music, clean, crisp and modern decor. The menu was well laid out and good translation of each dish. From the starter and main course we were greatly impressed. Shining and clean cutlery, glasses and crockery. The food was so tasty, each dish with its unique taste simply delightful.
My best friend was made to feel very special as they dimmed the lights and changed the music to Happy Birthday as they brought out her cake. We were not rushed, just left to enjoy the evening.
It is definitely not over priced and well worth it.
Thank you Raipur Staff.

I already love this place which is why I picked it for our team outing. Even though our party of 9 requested individual orders, these guys could not have handled it better, they learnt all our names and every order was spot on. The whole restaurant was busy but we still had the full attention of our waiting staff. The food, as usual was delicious and all arrived at our table at the same time.
I can't say enough about my personal favourite dishes, the salmon is the best I've ever had and the onion bhajis are second to none.
Thank you for a brilliant night from the LWC girls.

This review is only three out of five stars for a few reasons. If I was marking on food itself then it would be a 5/5. However the minus two stars equates for the lack of service or attention to customers. We arrived at 6:50pm for a 7pm table booking and were sat immediately which is great. We had to wait 15 minutes before getting our drinks order made and order of popadoms it then took any of the staff to return to our table another 35 minutes after dropping the popadoms off. This wasn’t at any fault of ours as we called the staff a few times without avail. Then once our order was made we didn’t get it until an hour later at 8:30-40pm. Now we understand it’s a busy Saturday night but that should be taken in to account by staffing. Then once the food arrived three out of four meals arrived and the other was no where to be seen we had to ask them where it was. Then after five minutes the dish was brought to us but was incorrect meat in it. We were brought chicken instead of lamb. We then had to have this changed and brought back another five minutes later.
Then once finished it took a further 20 minutes to even clear the table and bring us the deserts menu. Then no one returned to take our order for deserts order for 15 minutes so we decided to pay at the bar then leave.
We don’t feel that it was good service but fortunately the food once arrived all correct was very nice.

Just had a takeaway, it was absolutely awful, obviously you have a new chef, it was always good, but tonight it was burnt, tasteless and even the dog wouldn't eat it. In fact after one mouthful, it went straight in the bin.
I won't be coming back, unless you update your chef, you wasn't even busy (I wonder why?)
Sort it out, you was always my best Indian takeaway.

Take away for 4 ordered. I thought I'd lost my sense of taste, seriously. Chicken dansak, with no flavour, so ask hubby for a taste of his ceylon, yes it was hot, but again, no flavour !? I'm sat watching our friends grind salt and pepper over their meals... they need to get the basic gravy right.., WITH SOME FLAVOUR before adding meat. Absolutly disgusted. Onion bhaji... dry, and hard. Pompadom, not fresh, and the peshwari naan... chewy.... this place used to be the place to go, maybe a change of chef ? Either way, none of us were enjoying the meal

This place must have changed hands, it used to be superb. Last night I ordered what I ususlly have and asked for lemon rice instead of the pilau rice and was refused! This also happened to my son who asked for garlic rice. We then decided to leave so the chef agreed to make the change just this once but told us if we came again we would have to have the pilau rice that came with meal. I could understand if it was a big change but just asking for a different rice which we were quite happy to pay extra I feel unacceptable. Also the fish dish I ordered used to have large pieces of fish but today was more mush, I must say it did taste very nice but I missed picking out the prawns etc.

This restaurant came highly recommended but fall short of its promise. The service for a Thursday evening was very poor, starters placed on table with no cutlery after staff were asked food was now cooled off. Then main courses arrived this time part missing again await the delivery of the roti, which was lovely and fresh but the curry again cooling off. Such a shame as the food did taste lovely but poor service ruined it.

I usually love this restaurant, tonight I ordered what I normally do , lamb Madras , chapatis, onion Bhaji . When my food turned up there was no mint sauce to complement my bhaji . I called the restaurant, and to my surprise the guy who picked up informed me that it doesn’t come with the sauce or side salad!!!! Of course unless u you ask for it , he then went on about ordering 5 dishes , ( this was mot my intention) It’s always come before . Very disappointed and rude customer service ! You have put me off with your rise attitude!

We’d eaten in the restaurant a few years ago pre-Covid and were pretty confident that a takeaway would be ok too.
We ordered for 4 and all the dishes were very good. Chicken sag and chicken Chettinad were both tasty. Onion bhajis are worthy of special mention.
We hadn’t ordered poppadoms but a few were added into our delivery which was a nice touch.
Overall we enjoyed the food, which was delivered quickly and was still very warm.

Very disappointed by the customer service tonight at Raiper. All of us have previously eaten out at this restaurant so were looking forward to a good night out. Couldn’t fault the food but once we had eaten and finished our meal they couldn’t wait to get us out. From presenting the bill to clearing the table around us,made us feel very unwelcome. The restaurant was half full so not as though we were keeping them up or preventing new customers. We don’t go out much so disappointed our custom meant so little to them in these difficult times.

Was staying at a local airbnb and researched a local Indian. Reviews was good so gave it a try. Absolutely amazed at the welcome we received for our reserved table of 6. We ordered drinks starters and mains. Everything was tasty and plentiful. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We had a cake, to celebrate. Service with music and choice of music after was available, which we gladly welcomed. Complimentary drinks for the table at the end. We was all pleasantly surprised at the bill, which was so cost effective for the tasty food. Was unbelievable value for money. We travelled up from London, but honestly would make the journey again. The food was that good. Would highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

Our dining experience was totally spoiled by the service. We had to wait for an hour and a quarter for our food to be served - all the while watching a constant stream of takeaway food leaving the restaurant. It made us feel that as we were there they just wanted to serve us more drinks and weren't bothered about getting our food to us as we were a captive audience. We won't go back as there are other restaurants locally where we have had better service.

Raipur is an extremely modern looking Indian restaurant and the place was buzzing the night I visited.
I always go for the vegetable side dishes and was pleased to find some out of the ordinary ones not usually found on the average Indian restaurant menu.
I went for the Tarka Sagdal and Niramish with a chapati. (Niramish is shredded cabbage and carrots with coconut, chili and curry leaves).
The dishes were excellent and the dryish Niramish went very well with the Tarka Sagdal.
As you can see from the photo I also got a free portion of Bombay potatoes... maybe because I looked hungry, or probably because the restaurant was about to close.
Friendly staff and excellent service. Free wifi.

We were recommended here and easily booked a table for 2. Good distancing etc and the menu looked amazing, much more than on link here. Started with Lamb Barra Kabab which were supposedly ‘slow cooked in tandoor to perfection.’ Well they were black on the outside and almost raw in the middle more reminiscent of an applied blowtorch, the flavour was ok but they begged for slower cooking. The chaat hub had was another speed casualty, the chickpeas still hard and raw. Mains I chose murg ki shaag o rana and it was very good, chicken breast stuffed with spiced lamb in a beautiful sauce. Hub had chicken Nigren which was very fresh and tasty but also ordered okra side dish. You know when okras been slow cooked and develops a lovely flavour and glutinous texture? It didn’t. Once again almost raw. When paying the bill the waiter said completely unprompted and I quote ‘ were very busy we don’t have time to give to the customer and make their experience’ the waiters were fine I would suggest the chefs need to take more time developing taste and textures. People will wait.
