The best restaurants in Brighton and Hove South East

Phenomenal lunch; the best service and food we had during two weeks in the UK, and one of the best value meals too! Lucked into this place on a day trip from London (the only day of the week it would have been open for lunch), and were thrilled we did. Among three of us we had a lamb steak, polish sausage, vienna-style shnitzel, cocktails and cider, and everything was excellent. Server was friendly, helpful, and very honest (including warning us that there was only one chef cooking everything -- which meant about a 15 minute delay in food). The environment is cleverly decorated -- not my style, but it does the theme well -- but whether you're into witchcraft or just craft food and drinks, this place is a must!

We've eaten in Turkish restaurants a few times but never before have we had some friendly suggestions as to nice combinations. The food was excellent, service friendly and helpful. It is also very reasonably priced

Intimate cafe, the food was fresh and fantastic. Excellent coffee too. We bought some cake to go and it was lovely. We had high expectations after reading good reviews and it was worth the visit.

Great food, servers lovely, good music, only improvement would be how long food and drink took to arrive, which even then was not too bad

Amazing coffee! Beautiful cosy cafe, clean and welcoming. Lovely, friendly guy owns this place and cooks from fresh the most sensational food that is reasonably priced. This place is an absolute hidden gem. This is the second time I’ve been here and the food and service are second to none. Treated like royalty yet again…I will definitely be back again and again. Highly recommend 🥰

This restaurant takes the word 'authentic' to quite a new level! I'm sure we've all eaten in restaurants which say they provide an "authentic taste of......" but Manju's not only offers authentic regional indian cooking but also has the courage to take you away from the familiar english version of indian cookery to the kind of flavours and dishes you might actually expect in Gujarat, all freshly prepaired by someone who clearly knows what they're doing. If you want chicken tikka masarla then this is not the place for you. An experience not to be missed.

Wonderful, warm welcome upon arrival. Large, interesting menu. Food beautifully presented and very tasty. |Service first class. Great value. Recommended

Very nice, efficient and professional service. Food good for local Italian - great Italian tasting pizza and pasta. Fresh and tasty

Don’t GO!! Reviews good but had beyond horrible experience! Server was sweet, beyond that was down hill! Extremely overpriced wine & a disgusting, cold & undercooked pizza followed! Horrible food, go elsewhere!

My friend & I were in Brighton for a birthday treat for myself. Found this lovely, quirky tea room for a snack. The food was lovely and the owners were very friendly. We would both definitely recommend this place 10/10👍

This little place serves the most amazing tasty food accompanied By personable staff run by Giuseppe and Fabio. Customers are made to feel like family and you are welcomed personally my. I will never stop eating here. It’s simply the jewel of Hove.

I am a regular visitor of this little gem. I love everything they sell! Their cakes are gorgeous, they offer a delicious selection of healthy colourful salads, the coffee is decent and their toastiest are to die for! So happy to have this so close to me. Staff are always very friendly too.

Popped in for a quick toasties. I had ham and cheese my wife had ham salad. 10 out of 10 for service and taste. Served by very friendly staff. Try them, you'll love them. Owners dog is very friendly too!

I have been to many Indian restaurants but to me this one stands out in terms of the quality of the food. It tasted wonderful and fresh and full of well balanced spicy flavour.
