Turners Hill in Mid Sussex

Excellent food and fast friendly service in a very relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend

I've found it really difficult scoring my visit to Tarana and have taken a little time to think about it. Firstly, it wasn't a bad experience necessarily but having read the reviews I had high expectations.Tarana is a surprisingly big restaurant and I think visiting on a fairly quiet Weekday evening didn't show it at its best. It felt a bit empty because of its size and there was A LOT of waiting staff moving around - possibly 2 or 3 staff for every customer. Some of the staff would stand near our table looking a bit bored and it didn't help us to relax and enjoy our time. Because of the emptiness the restaurant felt a bit dark. I can imagine the restaurant is probably a different expirience during a busy weekend. The welcome was... fine? We were waved towards a table and presented with the menus but I wouldn't describe it as a warm welcome.The food was fine but unremarkable. I had a naga madras from the specials and whilst it had a really nice heat to it the underlying flavours weren't particularly exciting. I had mushroom rice and poppadoms to accompany and the portion size was good. Service was quick and fine. For two curries, two rice, poppadoms, a beer and a non-alcoholic beer the bill was a little over £50 which is fair. I added 10% service charge. The most the waiter spoke to me during the visit was when the topic of adding a tip was brought up which I found quite funny. When we left it felt like a warmer departure than the welcome.So overall, it was fine. I can't criticise or complain about anything in particular. I think we are going to revisit but this time as a group on a busy weekend and see if this is where Tarana shines - so I look forward to revisiting this review after our second visit. For now, I'm leaving 3 stars.

I've been wanting to try Tarana for a long time now as I'd heard it was good food. The menu is huge, with lots of choice. I personally find this a little overwhelming and I made a bad choice of food. I always like to try something new, often the "special" from that particular restaurant. Food was nice but not as good as I was expecting, this could have been down to my choice of dish.The restaurant is very big, with a lot of staff and it felt a little uncomfortable on a quiet week night. The staff were attentive but that felt a little too much. It was like they were trying to find things to do as they're not busy.An evening at Tarana is probably better on a busy weekend or when there is an event. We felt a little uncomfortable in the restaurant and felt our exit was warmer than the entrance. I'm not saying I wouldn't go again or wouldn't recommend, I'm just not sure a week night is the right time to go.

Picked up takeaway on sunday, the resturant was very clean and tidy ,Vindaloo was gorgeous as well as tandorri chicken and Chicken dansak, pomperdoms where great, garlic rice was top class. overall highly recommend!

Tarana kindly provided my place of work food during the Pandemic. Since then, I have wanted to attend the restaurant with my husband.The booking process & confirmation was straight forward.The atmosphere was lovely, service provided was exceptional and most importantly the food was of a high standard.Thank you for a lovely evening, I am looking forward to return.

Sunday buffet was the first time we've taken the kids to an Indian restaurant. Food was fantastic and service was flawless. Second time I've eaten here and will definitely be going back.

Another great evening in the Tarana. Food was fabulous, great selection, despite being really busy we didn't have to wait long.The service was on point and prices very reasonable. Thank you

Me, my husband & 6 other members of our family had a fantastic meal at the beautiful Tarana Bar & Restaurant Saturday evening to celebrate my birthday.The quality of the food was amazing with so many delicious dishes to choose from & very generous servings.The staff were very welcoming & super attentive & the service was impeccable.Thankyou to everyone at Tarana for a wonderful evening & a special thank you for the scrumptious dessert, the sparkler & candle you lit for me whilst playing ‘happy birthday’.My family have used the Tarana Bar &Restaurant for many years to dine in & have takeaway as their food is the best Indian food you will ever taste.

The first time that the wife and I have had a meal there. Well what a surprise. Very good food and the staff are very helpful and polite.I would recommend it to my friends. We will be definitely going back.

I was expecting better but I usually get some local delivery and they cook similar.The place is very dark, you can barely read the menu.Security cameras on the ceiling covering the whole place, not sure why.Service isn't very good. We had to wait like 35-40 min for mains. After we finishef I had to ask for bill after 15 min wait. It wasn't the only table so I assume it's the common practice, leave you there with the dishes finished.
