Estia in Brighton and Hove

Visited Estia with friends and it was lovely. This family run restaurant , small and intimate was completely full. Very nice menu with lots of veggie and meaty options. We had the fish meze and our friends the vegetarian meze, both delicious and generously portioned. It was also very well priced for central brighton. Will definitely go back!

Had dinner here last night. Very reasonably priced. Excellent sword fish. A lovely meal. Shame we dont live nearer. Would go again when in Brighton.

My girlfriend & I were looking for a Greek restaurant in Brighton on TripAdvisor & Estia came up in the search. It's highly rated & the reviews were all very good, so we gave it a try.....this was a great idea! We ordered 6 small plates to share between us including the meat moussaka which was delicious & courgette & halloumi balls on some Estia rice which was heaven! Service was very good & the speed that the food came to us was perfect for our needs. Can't wait to go again & try some different dishes, or maybe have the same again? Recommended.

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! The food was fresh, flavourful and packed full of delicious Greek flavours!

Estia was one of the first places we ever discovered in Brighton, and it's been one of our most favourite restaurants in Brighton ever since. Family run, full of heart, warmth and absolutely delicious food, always. The highlights are the Greek salad, calamari, sheftalia, sea bream, kleftiko and stifado, and I often find myself struggling to pick one as I love them all! Andreana and Andy are delightful hosts and genuinely wonderful people, and the steady stream of loyal, returning customers is testament to the quality of their food, service and the overall dining experience that they offer. It is our home away from home, and one we will continue to return to as long as we can!

Excellent food, wine and service. Highly recommend.

This is one of the nicest restaurants we have visited for sometime and........we have visited quite a few! Situated in a side street in the centre of Brighton parallel to the i360. Simple and tasteful decor with conducive lighting. The atmosphere was one of relaxation and calm simplicity. Typically Greek , didn't need to ' try too hard', just natural. Good traditional menu, well presented, ample portions and cooked to perfection. Be warned if you want to have the Baklava, don't over indulge on the starters/mains, you will have no room!! Good selection of drinks ( even Retsina!) at extremely good value. Lady who welcomed us very friendly and efficient but not at all Intrusive. Very impressed all-round.

Fantastic food, great service, lovely atmosphere. The Kleftiko was gorgeous.

I have to confess we didn't actually have a full blown supper. We began with the mese starter plate for two and worked our way gently through the delicious food - washed down with a bottle of the very passable house red. When we'd finished we really had no room for anything else which was a shame because it all looked wonderful. The staff were excellent and we will be going back.

We found this wonderful, friendly Cypriot restaurant some years ago. We always eat there whenever we visit Brighton. On our trip this month we were able to visit on two consecutive evenings. On both visits we loved the homely and well proportioned Greek food. We were made very welcome by Andreana on both days, as well as her lovely daughter on the second visit. The mixed maze starters for two got things off to a great start. We then enjoyed the beautifully prepared and served chicken souvlaki and the swordfish for our main course the first day, and kleftiko and again the chicken souvlaki on the second visit. A rare and special delight for us on both visits was the galaktoboureko dessert. This is one of our favourite desserts but is only rarely available on restaurant menus, as it is more commonly made by families for their own enjoyment. The dessert was delightfully moist and filling, with or without a serving of cream. On both days we choose a lovely New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine from the wine list, which was refreshing and well priced. We look forward to our next visit!

Fantastic food. I felt very welcomed. Will definitely go back

Fabulous restaurant with great staff. Catered to our hen Party with numerous dietary requirements with ease.

Very nice food and a the service was great! A lot of vegetarien food:)

Good food (especially if you like Cypriot/Greek cuisine) with nice cosy atmosphere.

Food, wine and dessert was pretty amazing! The service was very quick and excellent!

This was the loveliest experience, had the best time and Adriana the host was the most wonderful person. So kind and really treated us like we were family, would absolutely recommend this gem in Brighton ❤️ gave us the dessert as a present for my friend’s birthday - so kind and so much appreciated!! Thank you so much xx

This is a family run authentic Greek restaurant with food to die for. Lots of lovely freshly cooked traditional Greek dishes together with meze dishes with a great choice for everyone. Very reasonably priced and food is very tasty. Good for large parties but book to avoid disappointment. Will definitely be back.

Leckeres Essen quer durch die zyprische Küche. Freundlicher Service, gute Weinauswahl, Preis/Leistung hat gepasst

Great little local family-run restaurant…good food and atmosphere….

Nice little restaurant with a very authentic feel, lovely traditional food and very friendly service

Every time I eat at Estia I am never disappointed. The food is excellent and is always fresh, with a menu to suit everyone. The service is great with very friendly staff. I have a small appetite so usually take some food home with me; I have never been made to feel uncomfortable about this. The prices are competitive and they have a decent wine list. Don't hesitate - just go and try this place!

Just a really great Friday night dinner with friends in a pleasant atmosphere. The food was superb, delivered in a timely and friendly manner, at a reasonable price. Good food and good company. What more could you ask for on an evening out.

Excellent as usual. I have to say 100 words but excellence doesn't need this. Fabulous food, lovely staff (the owners). My favourite restaurant by far in Brighton - and NOT pretentious like many others.

I liked the food and the service was really good. Very friendly.

Really nice and friendly family run restaurant- lovely Cypriot food and lots of fish and vegan options. Relaxed and good atmosphere as well.

Really lovely restaurant, feels so authentic and great food. We’re off to Cyprus in a couple of months and this place makes the wait unbearable.

Estia is our go-to choice, it’s never let us down. It’s cosy and warm, with lovely lighting and the service is friendly and efficient. Greek-Cypriot food is delicious and really reasonable. We will keep going back.

Beautiful atmosphere. Friendly buzz. Beautiful food. We ordered small dishes and it came out in good time. Fresh and full of flavour and authenticity. Great value.

Food was very average and disappointing. The atmosphere was like a steam bath in there don’t think we’ll be returning

Amazing food and the service was perfect

Good food in the nice part of town.

Wonderful service and lots of vegan options. Lovely ‘home style’ cooked Cypriot dishes. We had the vegan meze and added in the vegan moussaka. Lovely food and warm, welcoming atmosphere.

5 out of 5, brilliant food, atmosphere and the team are amazing! Couldn’t do more for you. We have a christmas do there every year because it’s absolutely brilliant.

Lovely family owned restaurant with amazinf homemade food. We went for dinner in a small group and shared the meze selections. Such a good range of food for a reasonable price - haloumi and courgette balls, whipped feta and moussaka in particular were to die for. Would recommend.

Such a wonderful restaurant - the atmosphere was fantastic, the food divine, and the service excellent. We were a large group and couldn't have been better taken care of. So pleased we found it, will definitely return.

Great Family Celebration.. We enjoyed a mixture of small platter starters, the Greek sausage was really tasty as were all starters.. Mains were really nice I had the lamb which was super tender and plentiful.. Atmosphere and service was of a really good standard and we will definitely visit again.. Thank you 😊

This was our 4th visit: if we are coming to Brighton we make a point of booking a table at Estia. Everything about the restaurant is fantastic, can't fault it . We'll be back, hopefully before too long.

Amazing food and hospitality by the owners.. they couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and the food was spectacular. Highly recommend

Very pleasant. Nice water. Nice salad. Good meal. Very nice waitress. Should have given 5 stars.

Great starter & wicked portions

Simply the best family run Resturant in Brighton the google reviews says it all Andrea (the BOSS) Mia and Georgia and Carol work tirelessly with smile to serve the best food prepared by Master Chef Andy Andy is completely wasted for he can get job as head chef in Dorchester tomorrow if he wanted to but he says no he rather stay in Brighton and serve us Well done team

Food was really good and staff friendly, was a good date night.

My partner and I returned here with our baby and had the most delicious meal. I had wanted the swordfish skewers which they didn’t have but they had a swordfish steak instead which was HUGE and cooked perfectly - so yummy! My partner had the...

I visited the Estia last night for the first time -I had a Moussaka starter - it was tasty but the topping sauce did not have its flour cooked out properly. For a main meal I had the Halibut skewers with a Greek salad -...

Such a cute restaurant! Very cosy and just off of the busier streets. The owners were so sweet and the food was absolutely delicious! You have to try the desserts, too. Lovely environment. Highly recommend!

A homely restaurant with the most amazing and authentic greek food. Every item on the menu looks and tastes incredible and the staff and lovely and caring. Thank you and see you again soon!

Good, hearty, home cooked Greek food, the lamb tastes amazing and great calamari, reasonable prices and a homely feel inside, probably bevause it’s in a converted house! Makes me feel like I’m in Greece when I eat here. A proper Greek restaurant, serving real authentic Greek food!

really tasty authentic greek food, great service, honestly couldn't recommend more

We booked a table for a family lunch to celebrate my sisters birthday. The service was warm and efficient from the start, they don't always open on a Saturday afternoon but said they were happy to open for us as we were a large group....

Guaranteed fantastic, delicious food. A family favourite. Perfect for a group/ family/ date night meal. Would recommend to anybody visiting/ locals of Brighton. Such a beautiful restaurant too. Love it!

Brighton is lucky to have Estia; a restaurant that feels like you have stepped into the dining room of a Cypriot family home. The perfect place for big birthday celebrations, 'fancy going out for dinner tonight?!' kind of evenings, or a perfect 'home-cooked' meal at...

Had an engagement party organised at Estia, everything was very nice! We loved it and the food was very delicious 😊 Would really recommend for any event or just a dinner, very lovely to be there!!

Fantastic family run restaurant. The food was amazing, the service was quick and friendly! We would recommend this place to everyone & can’t wait to come back.

Andreana and her family always manage to make every visit to Estia a special one. The food is never anything other than excellent (the giant butter beans are gorgeous!). We love dining out and Estia is always on our “we must go there again” list.

My partner and I finally visited here this week after passing on many occasions and we were so glad we did! The food is delicious - we shared mussels and a selection of dips to start and then I had prawns while he devoured a...

Family run restaurant,lovely Greek Cypriot food we went as a family of six (2 kids).excellent service,staff with a smile.Atmosphere was good and lots of choice of lovely food .will be coming back in half term in may 2022 .see you soon

I come on trip advisor to decide where to eat and I’m afraid I slipped up on this one As a previous reviewer put it was hollow and noisy,there was my wife and myself another couple and a table of 4 ,although talking quite boisterously...

Family run restaurant. Great authentic Greek/Cypriot food. Good value for money. Lovely staff.

Really enjoyed our dinner at Estia. It's so nice to find a meze restaurant with proper vegetarian and vegan options. The food was so good (our party tried both the meat and vegetarian mezes and both were amazing). The restaurant has a nice welcoming atmosphere...

Fantastic! Had the most amazing meal here with my partner for our anniversary and there was not one element of the experience I could fault. The food was cooked to perfection and they're not shy with the portion sizes, we left Estia both full and very happy.

Could not recommend Estia highly enough! The food was absolutely knock-out amazing and the service and atmosphere was faultless. Beautiful little restaurant, nice and central but tucked away just off the main road. Will definitely be making a return visit in the near future.

Nice place good food friendly staff

This is an authentic, family run restaurant. It was lively, with a good vibe. The decor is modern - white tiled, wooden tables etc. The food was all authentic Cypriot classic dishes, cooked with love and served up with a smile. Worth a special mention...

We were coming to Brighton for a gig on Saturday evening but decided to come on Friday specifically so we could eat at Estia. This was our third visit and we were so pleased as it was as good, if not better, than we remembered....

This place is in a row house that’s been turned into one big room where every sound reverberates like the inside of a drum. So imagine what the noise is like when there’s a party of 10 women in the corner whooping it up. Excruciating....

Lovely food, lovely service , Thankyou for a very enjoyable evening.

Enjoyed a lovely evening at Estia, the homemade sheftalias are so delicious with a great Greek salad! Plenty of choice on the menu, Troodos and Othello wines on offer and Keo beer! Enjoyed talking to the lady about Cyprus, really enjoyed our evening. Definitely a...

Very friendly family restaurant with great food

Lovely food, best Greek Cypriot we’ve tried. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Lovely food, staff & service. Worth the small walk from the seafront to go to. 😊😊😊

We've been visiting Estia on & off for many years now & it's always consistently excellent. Get a sharing platter to try a little something of everything!

I went to this restaurant with my daughter and we had the most delicious meal. Lovely ambience and a real family feel. Totally recommend this lovely small inviting restaurant

Gorgeous Greek Cypriot home cooking food 👌💗 Lovely atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend

Great food, first time I've been. Went with a hen party

I recently had a 50th birthday and got Estia to cater for the occasion as I love Greek food and couldn’t get to Greece! I communicated with Andreana who runs Estia restaurant with her husband and she was so accommodating and lovely. She recommended dishes off the menu which would be suitable - we had a selection of mezes, vegetarian and meat, and Andreana delivered to my home address for a daytime gathering in the garden. The food was absolutely amazing, everyone was so impressed with the fabulous spread, very authentic and totally delicious. There was plenty of it too! My personal favourites were the melitzane salata (aubergine dip), the gigantes (giant beans), spanakopita (spinach pie) and both veg and meat moussaka. Thank you so much Andreana for making my birthday really special and stress free!!!I would highly recommend Estia restaurant to anyone interested in booking catering for an event. All the best xxx

My gf and I were visiting the area and wanted Greek food. We went in and we’re happily greeted. We were accommodated and looked after. We misread the menu regarding meze as my gf is vegan and I am not. Again we were accommodated and...

Fantastic family run restaurant. Amazing fresh food, fantastic service and very enjoyable evening at Estia. If you looking for gorgeous greek food this is the place to go. I will be back next time I am in Brighton.

Great friendly place for Cypriot food. We loved it.

I love Greek food and this was one of the best I’ve had.. ordered the chicken slouvaki which was delicious! Was extremely well presented and large portion size which is always a bonus!! Beautiful interior and service was excellent! Definitely recommend

Had a wonderful evening at Estia. Ordered starter and main, both of which were delicious and faultless, portions were big so didn’t have room for pudding but I wish I did! Service was the best I’ve received in a long time, really inventive small family...

Went to Estia as my parents recommended it due to it being their favourite restaurant and it did not disappoint!! I love Greek food and this was one of the best I’ve had.. ordered the chicken slouvaki which was delicious! Was extremely well presented and...

Brighton is full of great restaurants and this one is up there with the best of them. We visited on a Saturday evening around 20.30 and were given a lovely table at the front of the restaurant. The staff were super friendly and the service...

Our first restaurant trip since lockdown and we were not disappointed. We arrived early at 630pm to an empty restaurant but by 7pm it was full! Family run and very friendly. After ordering the owner came over with an extra suggestion for my vegan diet....

It’s been about 6 years since I was last here. The food is amazing and staff are friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again soon!

מסעדה יוונית אותנטית טעימה עד דמעות של אושר. השף יאני מפנק באוכל משובח טרי שגורם לך לרצות עוד ועוד. מתוך 5 ימי חופשה בפאפוס חזרנו לשם 3 פעמים כי פשוט חבל לנסות מקום אחר. הסופלקי עוף וגם החזיר מושלם. הטעמים נפלאים והארוח לבבי ואוהב. יאני אוהב ישראל ומארח בלב גדול ורחב. הדגים על הגריל מושלמים והסלטים נפלאים וטריים. ממליץ בחום רב!

6 of us visited this lovely family owned restaurant for a celebration meal! Andreana and Andy were so lovely and looked after us so well! We all shared the delicious mezze platter and every element was lovely, as were the drinks! Thank you for having...

Such a fantastic place in Brighton to eat out. Owned by a hardworking, generous and endearing couple. It's one of those places that has a quirky but unforgettable qualities. The food is mouthwatering. Overall its a wholesome experience.

What a D-light. Me and my godson Peter spent a wonderful evening here. Terrific food, drink and service. Can't wait to come back and sing again.

Amazing food and service. Never disappointed with this fabulous restaurant. Great menu, great value. A must visit. Lovely atmosphere and so incredibly friendly family run restaurant. Cant wait to visit again.

Just the most fabulous evening with friends. The food is off the scale. Tremendous selection , great atmosphere. The service is second to none. If there is one restaurant you must visit, this is definitely the one. Thank you so much for another wonderful evening.😍🍽🏺

Absolutely phenomenal food, lovely chilled resturant and really friendly welcoming owners and staff. Would highly recommend and will 100% be back soon 🥰

Good selection of Turkish fare, wine and Efes beer with attentive service and a safe environment. I’ll be back to try a Turkish breakfast.

Habiendo vivido en Chipre, este restaurante me llevó de regreso, el ambiente y la sensación eran típicamente grecochipriotas y la hospitalidad era acogedora y cálida. La comida era buena cocina chipriota producida en casa y mucha variedad y flexibilidad si desea cambiar el menú, también a buen precio.

Lovely meze starter plate for two, followed by mussels and swordfish ,excellent homemade chocolate & raspberry brownie with ice cream and good service .recommend a visit x

We’ve been going to this restaurant for many years but had not been for 6 years as we moved out of area. Well it hasn’t changed! The welcome was warm, the atmosphere relaxed and the food was delicious. Love this place 😊
