Andaaz

In Worthing, Andaaz charts a confident course through India’s culinary map.

Sophisticated yet warmly inviting, it pairs time-honoured technique with a modern polish, offering a considered journey from coastal spice markets to royal kitchens. Friendly, attentive service and a cosy glow set the tone for unhurried meals where conversation flows as easily as the aromas from the kitchen.

The menu reads like a travel diary in dishes: a Parsi dhansak with lentils and gentle heat; a fiery vindaloo from Goa that bites and blooms; rogan josh whispering Kashmiri aromatics; and Hyderabadi biryani layered with saffron and patience.

From the coconut-laced curries of Kerala to the regal kebabs of Lucknow, each plate nods to its place of origin. Comforts such as dal makhani and chole bhature sit alongside Gujarat undhiyu, while saffron pulao or soothing jeera rice make faithful companions to vibrant gravies.

The tandoor brings its smoky signature to chicken tikka and succulent lamb chops, while starters like chilli paneer, onion bhaji and a crackling popadom with chutney ease guests into the feast.
