“Eat well in Brighton” at this South Indian street food café – a firm fixture of the buzzing Lanes that was launched in 2014 (and for some years also operated from a kiosk inside the local train station); the rather “bohemian” (or is that “garish”?) artwork isn’t to all tastes “but the food is truly homemade and spectacular and authentic to its roots” – and, as befits any boho joint, there’s a great line in craft beers to go with it.

This “nice, relaxed, simple South Indian street-food café” is “clearly part of the community in the Lanes” – the beating heart of Brighton. It “continues to offer good food and generous portions at reasonable prices”, alongside a “great range of local beers”.

South Indian street food and craft beer combine to popular effect at this brightly painted “shabby-chic” venue in the Lanes, and its Kemptown spinoff. Evenings find more substantial curries and tandoor dishes on the menu.

Albeit “casual” and “relaxed”, this “shabby chic” South Indian in the Lanes (with offshoots in Kemptown and at the station) is a “great find”, and the “award-winning selection of craft beer and great array of alcohol-free brews for drivers is a great bonus”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
