Reviews in Hastings

Went there yesterday. A customer paying his bill complained to staff that his meal wasn't fresh. I thought he was just being awkward, alas he was right. Whilst waiting for my order I noticed the ceilings had leaks and there was buckets to collect the water. The salt and sauce cruets were grubby and blocked. Once my order arrived I could only take a few mouthfuls of food then paid and maid a quick exit. For a seaside fish restaurant this place should be avoided at all costs.

I love Indian food and also fine dining. Normally those 2 options don't go together. However at Jali they do. I love the fact that they have atypical dishes on the menu and are Indian influenced rather than Bangladeshi like most Indian restaurants are.

A Nice fish and chip supper. Crispy batter. Pot of two served four due to extra teabag and hot water provided. Friendly lady served us. Premises clean. April 2013

great course loved it xx

This has to be the best Chinese restaurant and take-away in the whole of Sussex, let alone Hastings. The food is excellent and freshly cooked to order. The staff are friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The whole atmosphere makes for a very happy experience and a relaxed good night out. Very good value and not expensive. I cannot fault the August Moon. Just brilliant.

Beware this restaurant. Food served on cold plates,no ice/Lemon for drinks,lacklustre waiters,side order didn't arrive.Overcharged for drinks.£11 service charge added to bill without our consent.No manager available to speak to.2 emails remain unanswered. If you use this restaurant check your bill very carefully.

Nothing compares, superb food, beautifully presented, we feel very lucky to have such a quality restaurant on our doorstep.

Outstanding value and quality! Bring your own booze, no corkage fees. This is Persian food at its best. Starters 2.50, main courses (huge) 7 to 8.50. Hurry!!!

Great place! The food, service and atmosphere is spot on. The bar staff are lovely and my daughter particularly liked one of the young strapping, model looking like, barman. I told her I looked like that when I was younger but she laughed. 100% would I recommend anyone to go there and check it out!!

Had a great meal at the black market last week. I was with a group of friends and we all had great food, a rare thing as we are all fussy.

The best place to eat in the town, food great, service great, what more can I say

Fantastic food, freshly cooked in front of you in their tiny kitchen. Big on local produce and quality ingredients!

The food was very good,and the service polite.I would recommend this place to anyone...try it..x

We love this place!! great food, great value for money and great service!!

Good atmosphere in smallish intimate, bistro style restaurant. Interesting range of meals and wines.

We waited half an hour for our food, despite people entering after us not only being served but having nearly finished their meal. When I asked the eastern European waitress how long we would have to wait, she simply shrugged her shoulders. We then left without paying (we had had our drinks in this time), and then the manager of the restaurant followed us down the street, blocked himself in front of my baby's buggy, and threatened to 'lay me out'. I immediately contacted the police who dealt with the matter and it was clear that the proprietor was known to them, as they advised us against letting him have our contact details. This grubby little man was rude and aggressive, and all this to a family with two young children who were simply dissatisfied with the appalling service. There are many restaurants along the promenade so please do avoid this one like the plague, and utterly shocking place with a sad and aggressive little owner who failed miserably to get one over on us.

Absolutely awful. A highly pretentious place with 'modern' stark decor which looks cheap and uninviting. Our fish n chips meal was quoted as 'fine dining' and all it seemed to be was a glorified greasy fish finger. Staff were rude & snobby. I guess this kind of place will attract the high street brand symbol wearing fraternity who love to rub shoulders with their kin... avoid totally!!!

Amazing food, what a fantastic night, we will be going back again and again, very good value for money considering the quality and service!
