Bruha in Brighton and Hove

Lovely restaurant, the food was delicious. Ordered so much as we wanted to try everything. Trying to organise going back with friends so we can try the rest of the menu as it was so tasty. The staff were very polite and happy. I was surprised it has been in Brighton for 5 years and I had never heard of it so they should definitely advertise more! Would highly recommend!

Me and my wife we stop for lunch in this authentic Filipino restaurant. The food was so nice and the staff so friendly.

Single handedly one of the best places to eat in Brighton. A small and local business run by 2 very dedicated and hard working people, The food is amazing, I recommend the pork Lechon and the Chicken wings… damn, the depth of flavour, texture and mouth water food, have eaten here multiple times now and blown away by the taste. The 2 owners dedicated their life to this place and have made hard and crushing sacrifices to keep this place. Here to not only support but appreciate this amazing restaurant if I could give 10/10 I would!

"Great food and service at Bruha in Brighton – a must-visit for authentic Filipino flavors!"

Banging highly recommend! The service was very attentive and the cocktails and dishes were prepared with so much love

I always go to Bruha when I'm in Brighton. And I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews I've seen here. What I love about this restaurant is that it is not pretentious: from the food, decor and even music, everything is definitely Filipino. Most of the so-called Filipino restaurants in London (excluding the turo-turo ones on Earl's Court) claim to be Filipino but a more accurate description would be "Filipino-inspired", where they hide the Filipino-ness of a dish by adding other Asian stuff like Vietnamese sauce. In one London restaurant, kare-kare is "deconstructed", served with the veggies separate from the stew (so weird). At Bruha, their kare kare is how it would be served in a Filipino household (or restaurant like Gerry's). Bruha's kare kare is so delicious, and unlike some Filipino restaurants which don't serve bagoong because they probably think Britons would not like the taste, they have bagoong on the side. We also had Bicol express, which my British dining companion described as the best "curry-like" dish he has ever had, including those from Indian restaurants in the UK. The pork was oh-so tender and the spiciness of the stew was just right. My favourite is their ube cake but unfortunately they don't always have it. I wish they would have it in their regular menu. Price-wise, it is very reasonable. The main dishes already come with rice. Service is great and prompt and always done with a smile. Never in the several times I have been here did I think that service was slow. They are very nice people who seem to love their job. I will keep going back to this place.

Really enjoyed the food! We had the sisig and lechon kawali. Would definitely come back to try the ube shake and they’re sinigang! 🤗

Insanely good. Service was so lovely! Food was excellent, options for everyone. Left absolutely stuffed after starter and main. We will be back for milkshakes and dessert! Thank you 💚

Amazing Filipino food. Took me back home 🏡

Highly recommend this place. Such wonderful food, great atmosphere, lovely staff and owner, big portions, really reasonable prices, we will definitely be coming again. Thank you so much for having us!

Amazing food, my fiance said she loved the pork sisig more than me.. Not sure if that's a statement on our relationship, but that must be some bangin pork.

Amazing staff, they were really friendly Food was great. Loved the ube milkshake and turon

Popped in for a drink last week and service was fantastic and vibe was so chilled before the weekend 👌🏻

Good food and excellent service! A must try restaurant if you are craving for Filipino dishes. We had lunch and because it was too good we ended up coming back for dinner the same day. Shout out to Jay and Talia who are both very accommodating and nice, will definitely visit again.

Service took too long without prior head's up. Taste is not all that good, It's too salty. It's too pricey with only a few things to choose from the menu. 👎🏻

Legit Filipino food! Sisig was to die for and lechon kawali was so tender and well cooked. The crew were very nice to us too. Will definitely eat here every time we go to brighton😊

Cosy atmosphere inside, staff are super friendly left a tip for the staff. If I had to comment on improve maybe the sizzling sisig it was abit too spicy for my personal taste and I think they added too much soy sauce it was very acidic in taste next time I visit I’ll try something else on the menu

I love the place! Friendly customer service, they recommended delicious dishes for us

As a Filipino, I always have high standards with food let alone filipino food but this restaurant hits the spot all the time. The best Ube shake there is even better than the ones in London. If you are looking for a mouth watering experience this is the place to visit. Two thumbs up! 👍👍

I agree with the previous comment about the poor service and the sisig being just 'okay'. Mine was swimming in oil. I was here a few years ago and remembered having a great experience then. If the kitchen can't cope with the volume, maybe tell your customers that the wait for one meal would be around 45minutes. Reviews seemed to be great so was disappointed to not have the same experience.

Went there for lunch around 1:30pm and we’ve waited for an hour and a half for our food to be served. I was looking forward to eat Filipino food since this place such had a high rating only to be shown how bad the service is and bland the food was. To top it off, a +12 service charge? Gosh. The sisig was meh, the bicol express was spicy but it became like a soup. Why add slurry in the sauce? Odd! Other people were leaving table by table since their service is so bad. Lol, won’t recommend.

Very classic panda and ube(taro) smoothie, great taste and reminds of the yam tea I had when I was a kid. Waitress also nice and kind, will come again for the food.

Food was very tasty. The Sisig and spring rolls particularly nice. The portions were also extremely generous - we were really full afterwards and didn’t finish even the meal!

Not only was this fast service, but the food was incredible. The food was soooooo taste and unique from most bland food in Brighton! I ordered the Leghon Kawali and rice. The pork was so crispy but tender and moist. Rice was fluffy goodness The owners are so friendly and hard working in making this a special place to Brighton! This is a MUST for any foodie people. Will be back x

Wonderful place to eat if you want good food and a chilled vibe. We ate too much. This was a lovely place to eat food the colours, flavours of the food and drinks were top tier. staff were so friendly and incredibly helpful.

Excellent and unique from every point of view, definitely experience it

One of my favourite restaurants in Brighton. Everything is just perfect Filipino vibe 😊

The perfect Friday night dinner. Sitting in the square with the sun shining and some delicious Filipino food was the dream end to the work week. The mushroom calamari and tofu Tokwa were both must orders, and the sisig was great too (we had tofu and pork, both nice in their own way). Big portions too. Highly recommend for meat eaters and vegans alike as the menu is super accommodating to every need. Really nice staff on top.

Absolutely lovely staff 😍 very friendly and kind. I was able to enjoy a sun ray sitting outside. I ordered chicken adobo, and it tasted a bit too watery / quite a bit more of ginger than I expected. But still keen to try this place again for the lechon kawali or similar 😊 salamat po

Fantastic restaurant and I'm convinced that their cocktails are the best in Brighton

Up the poorly lit stairs was a little dining area opening out onto the square below. We had shared starters and tried most of the main menu. Having all been to the Philippines we were looking forward to a feast which it was. I found it a bit bland and salty and the pork was fatty. It was good to go as a group and really great to have a Filipino restaurant locally.

Amazing food and drinks! A lot less expensive than we expected, great service and even better food (the spring rolls were a surprise hit). Will be back again!

I have not eaten here but wanted to comment on how disrespectful the staff here are. They supposedly were having staff drinks outside their venue on Monday night which is fine but they were blaring music on a speaker and shouting and screaming and had a dog barking outside. This was fine for the first few hours but when I continued until after 2am you can understand it was very frustrating for anyone living in the square to sleep. I had to be up at 6am for work and my neighbour even went over and politely asked them to keep the music down around 12:30 but they were not very apologetic and didn’t make any effort to quieten down. There is no email or phone number to contact the venue directly hence why we have had to leave feedback here. I understand you were having a nice time but it could have been done inside the venue and not outside for everyone to hear until 2am. Very frustrating and disrespectful when people clearly live in the buildings above. Would not have even been as bad if they had apologised when we asked them to keep it down but instead just laughed and continued for another hour or two.

They have me with their Barakotini - Espresso Martini which is fantastic! The food is delicious however just a bit salty and oily. Otherwise, if you need a quick catchup with a friend or just chilling, this place won't disappoint. :)

The food was excellent and tasty. We were greeted with a warm welcome and smile. Would highly recommend trying.

The food and service were excellent highly recommend to try. Great atmosphere. The owner and staff were polite and Very friendly

Food is excellent and a great little venue. The service was great, I've only marked down one star due to the speed of service. There are less than 10 tables in the entire restaurant and the floor we were on was completely empty apart from us, however it took 20 minutes to get our drinks order and nearly an hour for food. I get that good food takes times and there are only two members of staff including the chef, but be prepared for a 'relaxed' experience.

Best Filipino food I've had. The pork adobo slapped. I actually couldn't comprehend how good it tasted. 110 would recommend

Superb authentic tasty Filipino food! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff – really nice chef and owner. Highly recommend, the food was absolutely spot-on! Will definitely be going back :)

Love the authenticity of filipino Cuisine in this restaurant . I enjoyed the "feel at home " ambience . Josh and Tania are very attentive and our food was served with good portion too .

Everything was great ! I am definitely coming back

I love the food here it so authentic, service was amazing especially Hannah the waitress shes lovely and also Jace and Tanya. Great place to eat . We will come back again next week

Worse restaurant, customer service & food… Such a shame for being one of the few Filipino restos in Brighton.. do not recommend!

Nice laid back vibe here. The upstairs room sounded noisy (it was a large group) so I was glad we weren't up there.. i enjoyed the main courses : sour tamarind soup w/ pork belly, and beef in peanut sauce. Three stars because the squid starter was overcooked, as was the rice; in that way it gets after it's been at the bottom of a large rice warmer for too long.

A nice filipino Restaurant in Brighton. Ambiance and design looks unique and interesting. The food was also great and I enjoyed every bite of it. This is a family owned restaurant and got the chance to have a little chat with them. They were kind, welcoming and accommodating. Definitely a must try if you fancy filipino food. 💜

What a great find! My eldest son is now in the Philippines so we thought send him off with a flavour of things to come. Six of us fed and watered well from a menu we had to explore as none of us really knew any of the dishes. A proper treat of authentic (as close as you can, get Filipinos feed their pigs differently :-) apparently) just excellent. Well worth it and good value. Thanks Bruha

Went for a mate’s bday. Top draw. Lovely atmosphere & very tasty food!

Very tasty, good service, great prices, quite a tight squeeze, so book yourself a table.

A great first experience and can't wait to come back for more. The cocktails were delicious and refreshing. All of our food was a taste sensation, my lechon kawali was some of the best pork I've ever had. My mother's sisig was incredible. Big portions so make sure you're hungry!

We visited here last a Thursday and we had truly Amazing food, experienced friendly knowledgeable service with a lovely atmosphere. Genuinely the best dining experience I’ve had in Brighton for a very long time and looking forward to go back and try everything else! We had the mango cocktail and the tequila one and both were excellent as well. We had the following and recommend all! Spring rolls Ribs (unreal) Pork & tofu Chicken adobo Beef brisket in Peanut sauce

Really nice food and cocktails. Ordered a few different starters all were really tasty. Will definitely go back again.

Never had this food before. It was all tasty. Good vegetarian, fish and meat dishes. We would definitely come back again. Staff were very friendly. Building was quirky, our table was on the second floor.

Happily found while wandering. We really enjoyed our meal. The chef/owner was lovely and welcoming, and the food was excellent. Small dining rooms made for a cosy atmosphere. I would make a point to return next time we are in Brighton

Incredible food, service and atmosphere. Really engaged staff, making time to talk and get excited about the food served. Food was fantastic. Picture shows Lechon, Beef Pares and Chicken Adobo. We were tempted to have another dish rather than dessert Good choice of other Filipino things. Red Horse beer, mango juice. A place to keep going back to. Small menu done very well

Amazing food and service! Definitely recommend this one!

My favourite Filipino restaurant in the UK. My girlfriend felt like she was home, and I discovered even more amazing Pinoy dishes. The nilasing na hipon with that vinegar is simply devine. The pares also was so tender, it melted in my mouth. Salamat po!

Stunning food and excellent service! Can’t wait to come back! Cocktails are amazing.

Must try the honeyed chicken wings

An absolute gem of a restaurant- friendly owners with great knowledge of the food. Finger licking Lyn good- would definitely recommend the wings!

Super friendly staff and the food and drinks are delicious with generous portions. The atmosphere is very cosy - the 4 stars is a completely personal preference because I prefer a bit more light when I eat a meal, however it makes an excellent place to relax with drinks. Definitely coming back!

I'd recommend this place to anyone and everyone - the food was incredible, the staff were personable and easy to interact with and the atmosphere was great. The pork belly was some of the best I've ever tasted - the Pork Abodo practically melted in your mouth - and the honey garlic calamansi wings were both dripping in honey & crispy. Portion sizes are large, flavours are phenomenal and prices are very reasonable. We booked a table for 21:00 (1hr before the restaurant closes) and we were happily accommodated for all 3 courses right up until almost 1 and a half hours past close - your milage may vary on this but we felt very well looked after! As mentioned the service was great, just the right amount of time between each course and it was easy to chat with the staff. That was some of the best food I've ever tasted, I'll definitely be coming back. (one thing to mention is their menu says that they can't accommodate any allergies)

Huge portions! With very attentive and helpful service! The room itself is small but cosy with a great view to indulge in. Lovely Filipino food will leave you saying Filipinyes!

If someone is going to Brighton and you’re looking for an amazing meal, you have to go to Bruhas, Philippines ‘s food and will blow your mind!

Fantastic food and cocktails, and such a warm, friendly welcome. Beautifully decorated with quirky and really thorough design accents throughout. Would thoroughly recommend this place, it’s a tiny hidden gem. We’ll definitely be returning when we’re next in Brighton 👌

Bruha had a dark interior as we went in and up the stairs. The waiter was very attentive and helpful when we were choosing our food. We chose Mango smoothie, buko pandan and ube smoothie which were thick and delicious but I suggest not to have these drinks until after you’ve had the meal as you get full up. For starters, the spring rolls, spare ribs and tokwat baboy were delish. The main we chose were varied - kare kare was full of flavour, barbecue pork was very good; Sisig with egg is yum; dinuguan had chunky meat which is so tender and tasty but the Pancit bihon with pork was watery and on the salty side. For our dessert, we had the turon which was exquisite with banana and ube jam oozing while you bite into it- that’s perfection ! Ube yema cake was divine! The portions are so generous so the four of us shared all the food! It was very nice to experience Filipino food without tinkering much from the original flavour. It was quite pricey but it’s all worth it. Highly recommended! Bruha needs to have a contact number and email for customers to contact them because we only made a booking via messenger and or Instagram. Reply to our booking was quite slow. Overall the food and service at Bruha are great !

Amazing restaurant!! Options for vegetarians, great ambiance and the people are so nice! The mangga salad was very soft and it's such a smart combination I loved it! The spotify playlist was also really cool (but I can't find it! if you could share it maybe...:)).

So nice! Loved the deco, drinks, food and lovely staff :-)

Lovely little place in a very central location. Service was super friendly and quick. Food was amazing, so flavourful and authentic. Would recommend the buko pandan cake!!

Our first time eating Philippino food. It was so delicious. A really cute restaurant. A hidden gem. Food, atmosphere , service all excellent. We live in Brighton so happy to have discovered it.

The food was amazing, filling and satisfying. Gave 3 out 5 as waited just almost over an hour tho it’s understood as not many staff on

Love all the details! The concept, decor, the food and drinks. Being a LondonerC it’s close to home as you can get and didn’t realise I’d find it in Brighton. Highly recommend 💕

Bruha offers an overall pleasant dining experience with commendable staff. However, it's important to note that the food might not align with traditional Filipino taste preferences, as it offers a different culinary approach. If you're open to exploring diverse flavors and appreciate attentive service, Bruha is a suitable choice.

Great Filipino food, took me back to my childhood 🥲 unfortunately the sinigang had just finished, but staff very kindly brought us the last remaining half serving or so on the house! Highly recommend

Need to improve the taste of food. Had pancit and there is too much pepper and also sour. The sisig mushroom and tofu , i think need to tone down the sourness as it overwhelmed the food. Probably better to seperate lemon and let the customer squeeze it to their food . Husband had lechon kawali and it is bland. Milkshake ube pandan is great.

A very good Filipino food experience, unexpected for Brighton! I recommend pairing with the mango salad! Everything was very good, a little toward the British tastebud but still good.

Great little restaurant for drinks & food. The meals are so flavoursome, freshly cooked & the chef is happy to amend to accommodate intolerances. Looking forward to going back to try out the other dishes.

Visited here because my daughters partner, who is originally from the Philippines, was very excited to find a Filipino restaurant. Short menu but with the best known dishes on offer like Adobo. As I understand it generally it’s a meat focused cuisine but actually I thought the best dish was the mushroom and tofu sisig. Desserts were limited but very nice too. Could not fault the service either. Will definitely be taking friends here.

As a filipino I'm sad to say i did not enjoy the food. The food was over cooked and dry. I think it was more a remix than filipino. The mango daiquiri was nice. Price was rather expensive but i guess because of the location. I might give it a go again but maybe when theres a different menu.

We tried the sisig and sinigang and i love it! This is probably the most authentic sisig and sinigang i tasted in the UK (i tried plenty in London). They made mine without mayo as i requested and glad they accommodated it. I would personally prefer the sisig meat to be minced more but that's just picking on it really. Their sisig is spot on especially with the egg! The sinigang tastes like home, the broth is sour just how i like it. I think one order's portion is good enough for two people (both sinigang and sisig). My friends who were new to Filipino cuisine loved everything we ate. The servers were absolutely nice and friendly. We were seated at the 2F of the building so it did take some time for some little requests. I will be back to try their other dishes and cocktails for sure! Hopefully they have a reservation system in place then. We just walked in and lucky to get the last available table.

Fantastic food, very authentic filipino stuff and an interesting backstory behind the restaurant. They were very nice about a delay behind our food and gave us some extra for our troubles, staff are super friendly, overall amazing experience

Everything else was good apart from the service which take about an hour and half to serve without an updates from them. Pancit a bit watery/oily. As you can see on the photos, looks like it was uncooked from the bottom of the casserole. I’m not trying to discourage the customer but hoping this will have some improvement and hopefully this will never happen again.

Lovely staff. Food incredible. Huge portions. Will be back!

Good food, sometimes they dont have the choices in their menu but still have plenty to choose from. Good portions, I’m always full when i visit. Only gave 4 stars because it takes quite a while for your food to arrive, but it’s understandable as they only have 1 chef. Would highly recommend if you want to try Filipino food, and i would definitely come back

A good selection of Filipino favorites well prepare and authentic. Really enjoyed the food and friendly staff. We sat outside but there are some nice windod seats quirky corners inside on the first and second floor. Plenty of Filipinos eating here add to the atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table so recommend to book

They claim to open at 11 am, we arrived at 1 pm and they were already closed. They were apparently “sold out” because they have ran out of pork. And allegedly their menu is pork-centric. Loads of other groups who travelled from afar have come only to be shooed away just like us. We drove 2 hours for nothing. They don’t even have a website where you can book a table. Who runs out of stock for the WHOLE menu?! This needs reviewing and maybe even some compensation for the wasted petrol/commute money!

This Filipino eatery is fantastic. We were delighted to see a Filipino eatery for the first time. They are quite accommodating, the owners. The environment is nice and cosy. For those looking for Filipino food, this place is a true feast with large amounts. Had the dinuguan, ube turon and tapsilog #bamboochair cheers guys, see yah next time :)

Authentic Filipino food experience. Tokwa’t baboy and lechon kawali ftw. Super accommodating service by Jay and Sarah. Friendly banter and hearing about their Pinoy roots made our late lunch even better. Worth coming back.

Lovely staff made us feel welcome and lovely food Tried some dishes I had never had before, we felt looked after

Amazing food, make sure to stop here if you are visiting Brighton

We loved it. Food was really tasty and the service was great.

Great experience and nice to see a flippino Resturant the food was good and great mixture of the favourites and they was very friendly and welcoming and a go to for anyone who wants flippino in Brighton

Great filipino food. Came here 4x in a year. I'm still coming back for sure. The only thing is that no one replies for when you try and book for a table in their ig and fb. 😅 Also, there is no contact number. Just go there and hope you will be seated or hope that they are really open on that day. I think, though, that they always update their opening times, and when they are closed on google website, in that case, times are reliable. 🥰

Świetne miejsce na obiad lub kolację. Jedzenie wyśmienite, polecam każdemu, nawet wegetarianin będzie zadowolony z jedzonka.

The food doesn't taste all that. For us it seems like it's not cook freshly tasted it's been reheated. We had a squid as a starter and it tasted rubbery, the interior looks dingy and grabby. A service charge is added to the bill and service is slow, had to prompt for our dessert as no one came to our table to check . We choose the place as the website menu looks good and appealing but in reality the menu that they have on site is very limited. It's our first time to be here and would be our last. Not recommended

Amazing as always. Food and cocktails are amazing!!!!
