Jali Indian Restaurant in Hastings

Friendly staff and a wide menu. The ambience could have been better, the table candle was left unlit abd the heating was inadequate, I had to keep my overcoat on. The starter was ok but the dansak was bland.

Terrible service, I paid £45 for an order to take over 2 hours to arrive, peshwari naan had no filling, my curry had no meat and very watery. The food arrived cold after I called the restaurant several times to enquire why my order was taking so long. Extremely disappointment and now the restaurant will not answer my calls for a refund or a reasonable explanation for the service we received. I would not recommend anyone ordering from here

One of our best meals on a trip to Hastings. Very welcoming staff, nothing too much trouble. Chicken tikka 3 ways starter was excellent, really well done. Main courses were also a delight. Attentive service, reasonably priced. A great meal.

This was one of the most delicious curries I've ever had. Brilliant selection of curries, really great service from the whole team, and delicious sides.I asked for a very spicy meal and was not disappointed. The Goan fish curry was aromatic and very flavourful, The fried okra and Naan breads were also top notch. A true hidden gem!

The best meal I had in Hastings. Food and service is excellent.

This was GREAT - the yummiest food, but also lovely staff and they stayed open late for a last minute table of 7! Delicious and a fab experience all round. Defs go if you’re in Hastings.

The service was friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious - the best Indian food I’ve had in ages. Highly recommended!

Very friendly restaurant catering for vegans perfectly. The rice was soooo fluffy! Really tasty cauliflower curry! 👍😊 So tasty xxxx I thoroughly recommend this restaurant xxxxx

Genuinely the best Indian meal I've ever had. The vegetarian food was incredible - particularly the okra dish and paneer tikka masala, and the meat eaters were equally happy.

After reading the good reviews I decided to give this place a try. Turned up without a reservation and was asked to wait while they prepare a table. After 5 minutes I asked for a pint of Cobra and was immediately served with a nice cold beer which certainly helped pass the time. About 10 minutes later I was given a table and promptly ordered poppadoms and a main course. I think they forgot about me as it was pretty busy. After 20 minutes the poppadoms, rice (jeera rice) and the main course(kolhapuri chicken) arrived. It was certainly worth the wait as the rice and main course was absolutely delicious. As another review said, the service is a bit like faulty towers, the staff are great and the girl behind the bar was dedicated to keeping everyone happy. I've been to many Indian restaurants over the years and I recommend you try this one. It's much quieter after 8:30pm where you might find a quicker service.
