Best KPortal Reviews

This restaurant continues to be the best Indian in the town as far as I am concerned. Their evening buffet is excellent value, cooked to order and the individual dishes all have distinctive tastes (unlike some restaurants where all taste the same). I really don’t care what others may say about it I find it consistently good on the many times we have been there with a friendly service as well.
We've ordered from Brinjals a number of times because they are consistently good, and they do a paneer version of most curries which my vegetarian husband loves! The food is always super tasty, good portion sizes, and although it always says it's going to take forever to get to you it inevitably arrives really early! Would definitely recommend
Cooked well, spices were used well and heat didn't overpower flavor. Really nice curry!
Only problem was that staff seemed to be over-working, service was ok but some drinks were forgotten about, understandable as it was really busy. Felt for the waiters because they were rushing around, could have done with one more waiter to give the other guys support and make the restaurant feel less frantic.
Where do I start... Oh my god these guys are sooo annoying. Me and my friends ordered the buffet meals cos we were really hungry and the food was already subpar to say it lightly. Then I found hair in my food. After raising it with the waiter, the waiter went and brought me a new plate which was still as cold and dry as the last. When I asked what was going to happen about the hair in my food I was then informed that they would take no further action and that the chef would still not wear a hair net. I asked for a full refund which was not provided to me. I then found out from my friend who is Bengali that the chef (who was also the owner) had told them not to serve me and my other friends anymore. So not only had I been served hair in my food but THEY STOPPED MY ALL YOU CAN EAT AFTER ONE PLATE!!!! So not only did they not give me a full refund but I paid for a buffet but only got 1 meal. Planning to raise this with the food standards agency but I suggest that no one goes here. You never know what other poison they’ll add to your food. P.S. their water tastes like garbage.
So glad we found this lovely restaurant. It was a Sunday night and not many eat in places were open. Thankfully we found Brinjal's. We chose the buffet meal option and were permitted to bring our own drinks. The meal was tasty and service was good. Waitron was attentive and friendly. Restaurant was clean and toilet facilities pleasant. Lovely evening overall
Choose your meat (or vegetarian) and the a sauce. The list is extensive. There are also chef specials. The food was excellent, the Bhajis being light and not stodgy; rice light and fluffy and enough meat with the sauces (generous enough).
On a Thursday night there was a constant flow of people , mainly of student age. At present this restaurant is byo and only takes cash. There is an off license very near. Also can get take away with 10% discount with NUS.
I would say there are seats for approx 30 people.
My only issue was the large screen showing film throughout the evening. I go out to talk to friends and however much you try to ignore it - it’s there. Can’t all sit with our back to it.
I will go back as the food is worth it and BYO is always a bonus
There were all kind of restaurants along Lewes Road. We were looking for a chinese one but finally we entered this restaurant and it seemed a good coice. The food tasted good though the vindaloo was not so spicy as we used to eat. This restaurant offers a lot of vegetarian menus and for us it's great. Good service. The only problem was looking for a parking place at this area.
I love Brinjals! The food is always so delicious, and there is inevitably a 30% discount on the offering so ends up being really reasonable as well. We've had a variety of different curries- all with some form of garlic chicken and paneer and have never been disappointed. Most recent choice was a garlic chicken pasanda and paneer jalfrezi with the obligatory sides of samosa, popadoms and garlic naan and everything was tip top!
