May23360 Best Authentic Indian Dining Experience 2023 – East Surrey Curry night anyone? Why not make it a top one at an award winning restaurant that boasts a masterful blend of both innovation and history? Jai Ho Restaurant, located at the Coppingham Arms, Horley, ticks all these boxes. We find out more in the wake of its most recent success at the Southern Enterprise Awards 2023. Situated in the 120-year-old building that was for many years known to the residents of Horley and beyond as The Coppingham Arms Pub is the Jai Ho Restaurant, a hub for Indian cuisine that combines the traditional conviviality of dining with innovation in a menu that exemplifies the best of Indian food. Following a three-month renovation of the pub, Jai Ho opened its doors in December 2009 as a 60-cover restaurant. By 2012, the restaurant had spread its wings with an impressive extension that allowed for 120 guests – a capacity it regularly reaches. Jai Ho continues to answer the significant demand for its offering with an unparalleled takeaway service that has now become a central pillar of its operations. Meanwhile, the restaurant itself expanded to include an outdoor seating area that would allow guests to continue enjoying the Jai Ho experience, until such time that government restrictions were eased. However, it comes as no surprise that Jai Ho remains in such high demand more than a decade after its inception. The team’s mission is certainly no secret; as they say themselves, “We are about being innovative in our cuisine, promoting our industry, giving our customers that extra factor and value-added experience. “The most important thing is for us to have the consistency to never disappoint our customers.” This drive has seen guests from all over the world visiting Jai Ho over the years, many of whom arrive at Gatwick Airport eager to tuck into some delicious food. Jai Ho has even welcomed some famous faces – Peter Andre, BoyZone’s Shane Lynch and Ella Ayres, to name a few – and has also been relied on to cater for VIP events. In 2017, Radio Absolute recruited Jai Ho to provide for the Christian O’Connell show, while elsewhere, the restaurant catered at a Stereophonics concert. Having proven its mettle in the catering sphere, Jai Ho is regularly called upon to cater and host events of all sizes: from intimate dinner parties to birthday events to whole wedding parties. “Indian cuisine is all about sitting together, enjoying with friends and family over a big, hearty meal,” says the Jai Ho team. “We understand that! Our in-house decor is beautifully arranged to offer you the same warm and cosy Indian dining experience.” The combination of fantastic cuisine and welcoming ambience has seen Jai Ho applauded over and over for its winning dining experience. Rated Number 1 by TripAdvisor for its region, Jai Ho has been finalists in the English Curry Awards 11 years in a row; has won Restaurant of the Year South East category in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018; Service Team of the Year and General Manager of the Year 2017, in addition to its most recent success at the Southern Enterprise Awards 2020/21/22/23. Of course, the challenges of COVID and the last couple of years have proven to be a significant challenge that the restaurant is looking to overcome. The cost of living crisis naturally means that people have less money to spend. Due to rising costs of products and energy, Jai Ho always looks to keep costs as low as possible without any impairment to service and quality. Yet, it is the restaurant’s contributions to its community that truly sets it apart in the restaurant sector of the South of England. From charitable functions in support of the local hospice, to its regular fundraising activities with Lions Club for local and national and charities, to its participation in the Horley in Bloom Award and even its sponsorship of the local cricket team, Smallfield Cricket Club, Jai Ho is an established pillar of the Horley community. As such, the whole of Horley can take great pride in the restaurant’s most recent accolade of Best Authentic Indian Dining Experience 2023 – East Surrey.
