Arabic restaurant in Brighton

“Delicious mezze, great selection and lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Slightly dark in the restaurant itself but not a huge issue”

“We had a delicious vegan lunch at Wild Cherry. We shared a vegan sausage roll, roasted pepper with chickpeas and bulghur and mushroom lasagna. We also picked up a few things from the deli. We really recommend this place!”

“Lovely staff, even for a Friday evening we barely waited for our food. Fun atmosphere and amazing cocktails. We shared the platter for 2-3 with 4 and had the hot mezze starter. Perfect!”

“We came to Efes on a whim and what a great decision that was. Efes is easily the most authentic and lovely experience we've had in Worthing. Our server Ali was attentive throughout. We will definitely be returning and I would recommend the experience to anyone. The food was incredible, to the point where we took home leftovers and argued between us over whose dish was best (we couldn't decide! Both were amazing!). A 10/10 experience - the kind where if someone who was visiting Worthing asked me where I'd recommend for dinner, I would say Efes.”

“I found your restaurant on Google Maps and am grateful for that. As a Persian fan of Kebab, I can say that this restaurant, Joojeh, was precisely what we have in Iran. Its taste and flavour were perfect. The service and the servers were excellent. She was so welcoming and made my experience even better. I can only say that there is room for improvement in toilets. There was no tissue paper, but the soap smelled very good.”

“First time here, a small, "real" Turkish restaurant. Fresh produce, crispy bread...everything generously portioned and very tasty. I had a halloumi-tzastiki wrap, which was excellent. The service was very nice and friendly. I'd be happy to go”

“I am so happy that Tunbridge Wells has a great Persian restaurant! Absolutely loved the food. Extra points for having delicious vegetarian options! And the desserts are to die for. Highly recommend.”

“Everything absolutely mouth-watering! The portions are huge, and the flavours are amazing . Do not skip dessert , they're so good !”

“Wow! It was raining, so we were looking for a cute place to hide and saw this amazing little restaurant. This was the best choice we’ve made so far on our trip to Brighton. The food is amazing!! The people are also really nice! So happy with this experience, thank you.”

“We had a great experience in Into the Blue. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh, nothing frozen and they offer a wide array of seafood/fish for every pallet. The only thing was it was so popular that they ran out of food half way through the day! So we’d recommend getting in early on weekends. Would absolutely return.”

“Go here, owner is SO NICE!! Great hookah lounge. Great music. Perfect vibe. Really good tea too”

“An exceptionally good Adana kebab. Easily as good as I’ve had in Istanbul, tender and perfectly spiced. Lovely fresh bread and salad, perfect rice, friendly service. Full marks!”

“Great service, Atmosphere and the food was amazing. Would definitely go again!”

“Lovely cafe with the most peaceful vibe. Best place to take a breather from the busy streets of Brighton. Coffee was really good and the service was amazing!”

“Great find in Brighton. The food was cooked perfectly and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend the chicken shish, calamari, salad and prawns. Best meal we had all week!”

“Fab friendly place with fun atmosphere, brilliant music, great beers and delicious food! We had a selection of Spanish tapas all home cooked by the Spanish chef, yummy! Pop into this pub you won't be disappointed!”

“First time time. Class atmosphere and great food and service. I found the owner really friendly and accommodating. Did I mention how delicious the food was? Try the veg dishes and the chilli sauce along with your usual.”

“My friends and I booked through First Table, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The restaurant is on Boundary Road, quite a way from central Brighton, but the interior is worth the trip — beautifully decorated and full of character. We were warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who offered some great suggestions. We tried their Turkish white wine, which was spot on, then moved on to starters and mains. The highlight for me was the lamb casserole — absolutely heavenly! What really sets this place apart from other Turkish restaurants I’ve been to is the pricing. Even without the 50% First Table discount, the menu is very reasonably priced. The only downside for me is the location, as it’s quite far from where I live (Preston Park). Still, I’d happily make the journey again for their food. Dined for: 3 Meal: Starter + mains + drinks Total bill: £109”

“Beautiful decor, wonderful food and friendly staff and owner. I’ve never felt so welcomed in a restaurant before. This has been an incredible dining experience. Meat was so juicy and food were freshly made. Will bring my family and friends back here.”

“Tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint. The food is authentic Afghani, full of flavor, and the portion sizes are generous … you’ll definitely leave full! The menu has so much variety, it was hard to choose just one dish. Service was fast, the staff were really welcoming, and best of all, no service charge! The restaurant is easy to find and 100% halal. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something hearty and real.”

“With a large choice of vegetarian food in Brighton it can be hard to find a great place to eat. Some of the larger restaurants are marvellous but if you want quality on the go, or just seated in the pedestrian area then this place is a bit of a gem. Quick service, simple menu and fresh products. Staff who will chat and tell you about the process of making fresh falafel. Please do drop by and try it. We did and really recommend it.”

“I met up with my girlfriend on my lunch break and we decided to go to Alushi’s. This place really is a hidden gem in Brighton. The smells coming from the coal grill and kebabs are incredible and immediately draw you in. We both went for the meal deal, which is excellent value: a wrap, chips and a drink for £12. We chose the homemade chilli sauce and garlic sauce, which were both delicious. The wraps were incredibly tasty. The meat was perfectly grilled and generously portioned. I went for the lamb while my girlfriend chose the chicken. The salad inside the wrap was very fresh, with ripe tomatoes and a lovely pickle that really stood out. On top of all this, the service was fantastic. The guy behind the counter was friendly and happy to make recommendations. When we were leaving, we told him how good the food was. He winked, wished us a great day, and clearly knows just how good his food is. Highly recommend this place.”

“We had lunch today, and we never got disappointed. The food was brilliant. We had mixed grill, and it was cooked to perfection as always. I really recommend this restaurant you won't get disappointed.”

“Very delicious. Great location view of the sea. Very friendly staff. Father and son work there and it is really lovely. Will be back soon!”

“I really love this deli/cafe and, judging by the constant fast moving queue, so do the fair residents of Brighton! I almost religiously grab a chicken wrap to go and it never fails to impress. The food is great, the service is great, and it is all remarkably consistent. I sometimes branch out and grab their really rather good pastries, and they serve those amazing Mexican colas/fruity lemonades. Really can’t recommend it enough and it’s a wonderful choice for a tasty and affordably priced lunch.”

“This is such a hidden gem! The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, the food tastes as good as it looks like on the photos and is cheap for such quality. There is an ‘boutique’ tea section I fell in love with. There are so many different items on the menu I’d like to come back and try especially Lebanese themed items! The only thing is it is a bit dark inside inside but maybe that’s just my preference.”

“Aroma's uniqueness is the direct result of the beautiful family that runs this very special place. The coffee is high-quality and delicious, the baked goods are moreish, and their made-to-order foods are fresh and packed with flavours. I would highly recommend 'Fool' – a classic but hard-to-find-anywhere-else bean dip served with bread. The chicken kabseh falls off the bone and is served with perfectly seasoned aromatic rice. The homemade desserts such as the kunafee and the kabseh are enough to make the trip to George Street worthwhile. The delicious food aside, being at Aroma – one feels the kindness and tranquillity that is hard to come by in chain cafes. Customers take their time here; they read, they have meaningful conversations, they plan and congregate. It is not further from the truth at all to say that Aroma is a cultural hub, a place where people from all walks of life find their place of respite. I cannot recommend this place highly enough; come for something delicious, but stay and keep coming back for the beautiful souls that run this establishment.”

“We had a fantastic late afternoon lunch at Turks Oasis. Such delicious food and lovely attentive staff. Also very pleasantly surprised by how reasonable it was. We shared a couple of dips (with warm flatbread), as well as a few plates of hot meze. Super fresh, generous portions that were full of flavour. The air con also went down very well in this weather! We will definitely be back and be recommending to friends :)”

“Lovely veggie/vegan diner with amazing and very fresh food, always a pleasure to eat here and great to people watch out the front too! Very reasonably priced and maybe the best value for money vegan food in the Laines!”

“Wonderful food and great portions we had a lovely family meal. They don't do chips which the little one wanted although they do a kids size portion for one of meals which was good. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want to eat some lovely food in a great setting.”
