we had a lovely night at this restaurant. only minus: we do not go that much to such a type of restaurant and we did not know what to choose. it would be an opportunity for the staff to do a 'speciality of the chef' so that you receive a few little dishes that you can learn all types of... More

My partner and I ate here whilst in Brighton for the weekend. The food was amazing, presented beautifully and tasted fabulous. I was gutted I was full and couldnt finish my meal. We were offered complimentary alcohol beverage after our meal which I thought was very nice considering we'd shared a main, rice, side and nan so hadn't spent a... More

This place doesn't look too inviting from the outside, but is very clean and attractive once inside. The food is very tasty, not greasy and if you like king prawns, they are very reasonably priced - You get 3 large king prawns in the shell - for an indian restaurant, a bargain as £8/£8.50/dish. The waiters are friendly enough and... More

Finally found an Indian take-away in Brighton that we will use again! Thank goodness - we had started to drive to Eastbourne for good Indian food as until yesterday everywhere we had tried in Brighton was a big let down. Food from Pavel was wonderful. Ordered and paid on line which was very easy. Delivery promised in about 40 mins... More

Been here several times and always had good food and service. Went here last Saturday (06.Apr.13) - mistake! Food bland, tasteless and rather cold. Service slow, although it wasn't busy. Evening ruined by the fact that they let in a Stag Party (about 20 guys) who were so obviously going to be trouble. Not only were they dressed totally unsuitably,... More

We stubled across Pavel by accident and we were glad that we did. The food was delicious. I had the Goan chicken, a rich curry with lots of garliuc and ginger, very spicy and hot, but delicious. My partner had the Tandoori King Prawn Masala, equally as delicious and tasty. Portions are a good size, so be careful not toover... More

Wonderful food. Great choice. Pleasant staff. Highly recommended. Try the Tarka Dall, Its simply delicious with their fresh chapatis! Also, the best lime pickle I've tasted. Portions quite large so don't over order (like me!) Although they do offer you a doggy bag!
