The Best Indian Restaurant in Chichester
Prachee is a family-run Indian restaurant in Chichester, open seven nights a week at 83 Nyton Road, Westergate. Since opening in 2023 we’ve become one of the area’s highest-rated places for Indian food, thanks to overnight-marinated tandoori grills, chef’s signature dishes you won’t see on every curry house menu, a walled garden for summer evenings and free on-site parking.

Dine in
Indian dining in Chichester, indoors or in our walled garden
Our dining room is elegant without being stuffy, the kind of place that works as well for a quiet dinner for two as it does for a family celebration. The staff are attentive and friendly, the cocktail list is properly made, and nobody will rush you out.
When the weather is good, the walled garden is where you want to be. With lights, fire pits and space to spread out, it’s one of the most relaxed places to enjoy Indian food in Chichester.

Questions before your visit
Can’t see your question here? Give us a ring and the team will help.
So which is the best Indian restaurant in Chichester?
It comes down to taste, but if reviews are a guide, Prachee is near the top. Diners give us 4.7 stars on Google across 199 reviews and 4.8 on Tripadvisor, and they mostly single out the warm welcome, generous portions and our tandoori grills.
What should I order on my first visit?
Start with the tandoori lamb chops or king prawn tandoori, and ask for the house chilli sauce with your poppadoms. For a main, regulars rate the jalfrezi, the chicken korai and the wild lemon lamb. Portions are generous, so it’s worth sharing a starter.
How far is Prachee from Chichester city centre?
We’re in the village of Westergate, a short drive east of the city centre. Most guests come in along the A27, and there’s free parking when you arrive.
Is Prachee good for a special occasion?
Very. Birthdays, anniversaries and work dos are a big part of what we do. Let us know when you book and we’ll help you plan the table, the menu and the timing.
Is the restaurant licensed?
Yes. We have a fully stocked bar, and our cocktails and mocktails get a mention in plenty of reviews.
I'm vegetarian. Will I find enough to eat?
Plenty. Saag paneer, chana paneer, aloo gobi, Bombay potatoes, mushroom bhaji and a vegetable biryani are all on the menu, and any vegetable side can be served as a main portion. Ask about vegan swaps when you order.
Can I get a takeaway near Chichester?
Yes. Collect from us in Westergate and you’ll get 10% off any takeaway order over £20. Order online or ring 01243 345298. Delivery is on its way.
I have a food allergy. Can you help?
Please mention it before you order. Our team will tell you exactly what goes into each dish and which ones the kitchen can adapt for you.
Allergies: nuts, shellfish, gluten, dairy and many other allergens are handled in our kitchen, so traces can’t be ruled out in any dish. Always tell us about an allergy or intolerance when you book or order.
