Hasina Tandoori

There are plenty of indian takeaways and curry houses in Brighton. I don’t have a regular favourite and like to experiment.
Some are excellent but most are not. There is a plethora of oily, medicre offerings with uninspired menus and unappetising dishes. Hasina, however, IS excellent and I shall be ordering again.
I plumped for onion bhajis, chicken dansak, bombay potato, rice, bread and poppadoms and I enjoyed a lovely meal and had plenty of leftovers for the next day.
The bhajis were crispy but not cloying and came with a delicous dip. The dansak was complex as it should be: spicy and a little sweet. Sometimes the lentils in a dansak are little more than a sludge, not so at Hasina. It was perfectly done and generous with the chicken. The rice was fresh and not greasy.
The bombay potato could have had a bit more poke, but that’s a mere quibble. The bread, too was, delicious. I would have liked some gratis mango chutney.
Hasina delivered swiftly, but not worryingly so. It was on my table within 45 minutes of ordering. Piping hot, with salad and a smile from the driver.
An excellent restuarant.
