An institution. Very sad loss. - Edit
I don’t know how many times I ate in Bombay Aloo over the last 20 years, but I know I came out happy and full every time. Thank you BA x

It's all vegan - Edit
I don't want to leave a bad review but I would not recommend to any of my friends. Food was surprisingly bland and watery. But I read some good reviews do maybe it's a time of day thing. Great that it's switched to all vegan but I'd prefer a few dishes done really well rather than many dishes done not so well. Not for me even at the price. Sorry.

As always a great selection of food at the buffet and at a set price of £6.99 for all you can eat you really can’t go wrong. All the food was hot and continually topped up.

Unappetizing - Edit
Found around 5 hot dishes that didnt look too fresh. None of them were particularly delicious, very plain. I guess thats what you pay for...

Good, but not the most interesting and too much oil for my taste.

Cheap and filling - Edit
Selection of 4-5 main dishes with lots of salad options and onion bhaji. Food was okay, on the oily side and a bit bland, but was certainly filling.

Great value for money, but reflected on the food quality - Edit
Great value for money but things like the onion Bhajis were really dry where they just sat in the tin container. Also the serving spoons were in with the food which meant potential cross contamination from peoples hands being dirty! (Sorry massive germaphobe)

Everything is vegan - Edit
Great flavours, lots to chose from AND cheap. If I lived in Brighton I’d eat here every week. The only complaints I have is that the area where the food’s placed is very tiny and there’s not much space to move.

Enjoyed the lunch buffet while on holiday in Brighton. Everything was delicious and the price is unbeatable. I believe they are 100% vegan now, including their delicious rice pudding.

Now 100% VEGAN - Edit
Ate there again after two years.
Read moreCurry still a little watery but very tasty none the less.
Filling,simple,cheap fare.
Full of potato and vegetables - mild flavour in general. Some dishes slightly spicier. Can spice it up more with raw chillies.
Had chillies, poppadums,,pickles, potato fritter,onion Bhaji, Dall,mixed veg curry, sag aloo chick peas,chick pea curry amongst other dishes. Enjoyed my meal- very full.
Very good value. Cheap and cheerful but nothing wrong with that. Eat as much as you like for £6.50.
Recommend you try it.

Cheap, Easy and going vegan in April 2018 - Edit
If you require cheap food, this is the place.. Most places close at 6pm ( 18:00 ) leaving only pizza style places in Brighton city center for vegan food that will cost you around £15 to £30 depending on where you go...
Read moreThis buffet is £6.50 , all you can eat... It might not be the best curry, but people are friendly...
They are going 100% Vegan in about 3 weeks time ( approximately April 2018 )
Pros: Cheap, No waiting, Open till Midnight

Disappointing - Edit
Still offering great value buffet. All you can eat for £5.99 but the selection of the promised 20 dishes which are advertised outside is disappointing.
Read moreNot everything is vegan which is fair enough but disappointing that no bread is available for those who don't take dairy. What's even worse is the non vegan naan bread was placed on top of the only rice available so that can be ruled out.
4 different curries, all tasting similar but with different veg, a tarka deal and some very standard salad. The potato pakoras were more batter than potato so overall very disappointed.
What made it really bad is that the same person waiting at tables and handling money was also chopping condiments and putting them on the hot buffet.
Pros: Good value
Cons: Poor selection

My mum could cook a better curry and she's a white woman from Alton. - Edit
Okay so it's 5 pounds and it's nearly all vegan but it tastes of nothing!! Easy location and pleasant service and cheap but the sauces are 90% water here - nothing authentic here! :( a no go from me!

Disgusting - Edit
Have been here once before the food was decent. Not authentic or very flavourful but decent. Went here yesterday and the food was SHOCKING so watery every curry had the same flavour and consistency. It was awful. My 2 year old was charged for the kids buffet despite eating MY rice. The place is very dirty e.g toilets with wobbly seat and no sink. Will never be going back.

decent & cheap - Edit
It hasn't changed much in the last several years. Decent food and cheap. You get what you pay for - a bit watered down with plenty of 'bulking' veg like potatoes and cabbage. Can get frantic on a Saturday night. Staff are happy to point out vegan dishes.
Read morePros: cheap, convenient for fast meal, decent quality
Cons: not much space between tables!

cheap & cheerful - Edit
Little restaurant that has an all you can eat buffet for £4.95 a bargain! All food is vegetarian and staff are very helpful in letting you know what is vegan (avoid the naan, bahjis & korma). Curries are a bit watery but the veg is fresh and each curry has a different flavour and heat, at that price who is complaining!
