Local cuisine in Brighton

“I love KitoKito! Yesterday I had the spicy salmon poke and it was so yummy, the spicy kimchi sauce is so tasty.”

“Came across Tammy's on a weekend away in Brighton, after a long and arduous journey. The steep hill climb to the chippy helped build up our appetite and gave us a laugh along the way. Staff were friendly, food was freshly cooked. All in all, a worthwhile find.”

“Had a lovely experience at Tookta! The food was absolutely delicious – very authentic Thai flavours and clearly made with care. The service was just as wonderful. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming, making it feel like a warm, local gem rather than just a restaurant. One of the best Thai meals I’ve had in Brighton – highly recommend and will definitely be back!”

“You wonder if its going to be as good as you expect. The experience was a birthday gift from my niece . My wife and I went with moderate expectations but we were really happy with the whole thing. I loved the range of food and the care the staff took to make sure everything was perfect. The multiple dishes provided, solved my normal problem of what to choose on the menu and wanting to try a bit of everything. Just go with a few friends and have a great time”

“Sometimes you walk in to a restaurant and you think... this is a restaurant. Other times you walk in and feel like you are in someone's home being served their best food. This is most definitely one of the best Italians, if not homely places I've visited in a long time From the moment you walk in, you are made to feel at home. The food is amazing and I would recommend this place. They know how to do customer service and beyond. A must visit if you are in the area and a hidden gem”

“This is a great place to bring the kids for lunch. They have delicious ice creams. Also the portions are good sized. It’s not expensive at all and it’s quite tasty. The people are quite nice, accommodating and really friendly. It’s right in the park and next to the paddling pool so the kids can have loads of fun here, you can really spend the day, and have loads of fun recommended.”

“Wonderful, warm, and cozy atmosphere as well as incredibly tasty food. Good vegan/vegetarian options too. Char grilled sweet potato and spicy cucumber was to die for ‼️”

“I think the best streak in Brighton. We've been four times, waited to review, great each time. Really well priced and amazing steaks. Friendly, knowledgeable, service. A London chain had opened up nearby. In London, they're a no brainer. In Brighton, go local and independent. Open kitchen, the counter seats are fun, the chefs serve you if you're sat there. Nice wine list. Well priced by the glass.”

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

“An absolutely wonderful experience. First time have visited and what a treat. The menu is seasonal. The food was delicious well flavoured and cooked to perfection. Staff are wonderful very welcoming and great knowledge of dishes served and the wine menu. Can't wait to go back.”

“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.”

“Excellent experience, which is what I expect when I eat out. Extremely friendly staff and falafel wraps that must have been made in heaven. Excellent cappuccino, my coffee must be 10 out of 10. Disability accessible, I took my mobility wheels to the table.”

“Archipelagos Gyros in Brighton offers a reliably tasty option for lovers of Greek street food. The menu has solid variety — traditional pork and chicken gyros, halloumi, vegan versions, burgers, sides, and salads — all at very reasonable prices. The portions are generous, especially in the “main box” combos, which give you meat (or plant-based protein), chips or salad, pita bread, and sauce. It’s filling without feeling gimmicky. The service is fast and friendly, and even when busy things don’t feel chaotic. Ambience is casual, good for takeaway or a quick sit-down; it’s not fine dining, but that’s precisely the point. What you get is authentic flavour, hearty meals, and decent value. Highly recommended for a satisfying, no-fuss Greek feast.”

“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.”

“Ordered a takeaway via Just Eat and the food arrived on time and hot! Great start, good first impressions. Then I tasted the food and I think I went to heaven and back. Absolutely delicious, I cannot fault anything. The meat was perfectly seasoned and so tasty, the fries were crispy and flavorsome. The Tzatziki was divine... In fact, the only think I can say is that there was far too much.... But that's not a complaint, it just means I get to have the left overs tomorrow!! 10/10”

“The pork pad Thai was 10/10. Also had the prawn on toast which I had never had before. It was good. The spring rolls were pretty standard. Hard to get them wrong. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is small with bar seating inside and a couple of tables outside but cozy and warm”

“Amazing craft beer spot. Lovely burgers and tacos. Fish tacos, veggie, steak and pork. Outside in the summer is amazing. The beer garden faces due west so you get sun all afternoon. Beer is amazing, I absolutely love this place!”

“This is my favourite restaurant in town. I especially love the generously filled bahn mi, the Laos minced pork dish, the Northern Thai specials (make sure you check the little board behind the server), the pork broths and the green papaya salad. We're so lucky to have this on our doorstep”

“Excellent food, drinks and service. Really nice ambience. Highly recommended.”

“We went here for our anniversary dinner, wonderful food and service! We had the duck and lamb, both very tender and juicy. For starters we had the duck roll and scallops, I normally don’t enjoy seafood which I always find “fishy” but I loved the scallop, complemented by the sauce/puree that goes with it. For dessert we had the mango cheesecake, not the most impressive but not bad and would overall recommend this place !”

“Cucinetta is the best restaurant in Worthing! It gets everything right. Food is delicious, service is exceptional and the price is reasonable. What more do you want? We went to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary on a Thursday night.”

“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.”

“I had a burger and chips. The burger with beef patty,cheese and fresh vegetables was really juicy. And the staff were very friendly and welcoming.”

“I'm from Coulsdon and I have to say my family travel the 45 min drive to Shoreham fish bar on a weekly basis , Simply because the fish and chips are the best, there's probably 5/6 chip shops with in a 10 min drive from Coulsdon however they do not come anywhere close to what you get from Shoreham”

“Nice little place with sea view in Peacehaven. Excellent staff service and excellent food. Very cheap compare to Brighton.”

“Every great day in Seaford starts, ends, or includes a visit to Pomegranate! Lovely food, staff, and ambiance guarantees you a delightful experience.”

“What a lovely place! Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and fabulous food. I had the breakfast but the cakes looked absolutely divine too! The way the staff interact with the customers is lovely. They obviously have a lot of regulars and greet them by name. I needed to kill some time while my car was in for a service so decided to find somewhere for breakfast. I don’t really like eating out on my own but this place had such a lovely warm vibe I didn’t feel awkward at all. I will definitely be back!”

“Best place to order exactly what you want and fresh Staff are lovely too”

“Delicious black bean tacos with guac. 10/10”
