Ilke Kartal We popped into Tun Tun’s on Monday for their free student curry and I’m officially hooked. The staff were so friendly – the moment we walked in they greeted us with big smiles and asked whether we’d like veg, vegan, or meat. I went for the chicken curry, and it was still piping hot by the time we got home. Considering it was completely free, it was absolutely delicious – generous portions, loads of chicken and lentils, and packed with flavour. Exactly what I needed on a gloomy Monday evening. I’ll definitely be going back to try more, especially since they also do a £5 student deal. Edit: We did end up going back to try the £50 mega thali, and it was incredible. We also ordered two mango lassi – smooth, sweet, refreshing, and perfect alongside the spicy dishes. The fish curry was light and fragrant, and the pastries were unreal, especially the sweet coconut pathi. The chana daal was comforting, and both the aubergine pakora and onion bhaji were delicious. The chutneys that came with everything were amazing too – a perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy. I’ll definitely be returning, and next time I’m bringing friends!

Stephan Desmoulin Came here for Christmas lunch. They had a special menu for the day, and despite normally requesting reservations two weeks in advance, they were able to accommodate me the same day. Excellent food, a nice atmosphere, and very friendly staff made this a great meal for the holidays. Will come again when Im in the area!

Maria Wilkinson Just had a fabulous meal in this gem of a restaurant! The service was phenomenal from the very warm welcome the minute we walked through the door to the very sincere "Ciao, ciao" as we left. The food was absolutely fantastic too - we shared calamari fritti and arancini to start with a quattro stagioni pizza and the allo scoglio risotto for mains. There was so much seafood (mussels, clams, king prawns and langoustines) in the risotto - delicious! To finish I also had the pistachio tartufi which was the perfect end to the meal, together with a double espresso for me and an Americano for my partner. Not only is the food fabulous but its also excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Michaela North First time visiting today for lunch! Food was sensational, as was the service and decor. £5.70 for two bottles of Schweppes soda water for our wine was a little shock on the bill, I feel you could purchase soda siphons or a soda stream to offer this to guests at a lower price…baring in mind it is free in most establishments. Constructive, as we had a lush lunch with you regardless.

Sarah-Jane Pearson This is unshamelessly the best restaurant I have dined in near Hastings. It is the epitome of excellence. From getting out of your car to getting back in again is a beautiful journey of decadence. I had the most exquisite lunch on the beautiful patio served by a wonderful young lady. This is truely a family run business with a wonderful passion and commitment to excellence. You will most definitely go away with a smile dining here. Just perfect.

Julia Snodgrass An amazing meal after a long day of hiking! We were seated right away upstairs, our server was kind and welcoming, and the food arrived promptly. We shared the siu mai, chicken satay, lemongrass shrimp, and tom kha soup with mushrooms added. Each dish was more delicious than the last. So grateful to have stumbled upon this gem!
