Moved to the area about 3 years ago and this place was really close, there's a few other Indians around but I haven't bothered trying anyone because this one is so good.

An outstanding dining experience. Food was delicious, extremely good flavours. The naan bread was like a fluffy pillow, biryani was rich in flavour with soft melting lamb, and the lime pickle was full of delicious lime flavour. The boss man was friendly, attentive, well spoken, and informative. His service and charm are top notch! The atmosphere was very old school and it gave off a nice relaxing vibe. The best Indian I've ever eaten!

Excellent curry, very traditional curry house, reminds me of the 1980's. Great service, good selection of food. About 20 a head with poppadoms, starters, mains, rice, Dahl, nans and a few drinks. Definitely be back. Thank you.

Returned to this little gem after around 45 years! My absence is purely down to location - I don't live near here. Pleased to say it has not changed and is well worth the journey. Food is great quality. Manager and Waiters all to keen to help with any menu queries and happy to make 'customised' dishes. Have to say I'm glad I booked - it was extremely busy - moreso surprising for a relatively 'cosy' restaurant tucked away in the backstreets of Burgess Hill, even on a Saturday night. Atmosphere lovely, excited chatter, not too loud. Brisk takeaway business as well! Thanks for making our evening so enjoyable!

India Garden was recommended to us by multiple friends. They were the first Indian restaurant in burgess hill, having opened over 50 years ago! Incredibly impressive service! Seriously delicious and authentic Indian food; the best I have had in the UK. Friendly and upbeat vibes. Very reasonably priced too. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Wow. I used to be a regular until I moved from the area around 15 years ago. Circumstances dictated I was in Burgess Hill so decided to pop in and see how everything was. I was not disappointed. My family have been coming here since it opened in about 1975 and the quality of food is second to none. The fact it's in the same place, with the same name and owner stands as testament to the enduring quality, Sadiq even remembered my name which is amazing. Really cannot fault here and definitely won't leave it so long for a return visit Thanks Sadiq, you're a legend
