Indian Summer Kitchen in Brighton and Hove

This was about our third visit to Indian Summer and it never fails to impress. Really friendly hospitality, great cocktails and an awesome vegan thali. Booked up again recently to try the Valentine's Day sharing menu.

Fabulous Indian food, I had the mamaji chicken curry, which was gorgeous. Good value as it came with rice and roti. Funky interior, good, music and really nice staff. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely mean here with 2 years old son and wife. It’s a cool modern Indian restaurant, with a great vibe and very attentive staff. Even though they had a few sick calls and slightly short on staff, service was not affected and we...

Spectacular food, had the pork ribs for starter and the meat fell off the bone, the service was great a real find, well done to all would highly recommend

A fantastic evening out at Indian Summer. Amazing food and service. A great choice of dishes and drinks. Can't wait to go back.

The food here always excellent (love the Thali) and the staff are very helpful. We always come here every time we come to Brighton.

Excellent meal . Really tasty, authentic food and great service . I have been before and will definitely be going back as it’s such a great restaurant

Third visit and just as brilliant as first time. This restaurant is a must-try, especially if you are vegan. Mixed dishes and every one delicious.

Best Indian food ever. Authentic and delicious. No big bowls of meat and gravy. Rather, beautiful flavoured smaller dishes which we shared and discovered things we loved which we’d not normally consider. An amazing dining experience and the most accommodating hosts we could wish for....

Indian Summer Brighton surpassed my expectations, providing an exemplary dining experience that seamlessly blended delectable cuisine with impeccable service. Each dish presented a harmonious blend of spices, creating an authentic and memorable flavor profile. The menu showcased a diverse selection of Indian dishes.The freshness of...

First visit, we were rather late but this did not phase the extremely busy staff who were attentive but not pushy. Delicious food very well cooked and presented.

We are from NYC and wanted to try London’s famous Indian Summer Restaurant. This spot met all of our expectations. It is a great place for a date night or just for connecting with friends. The food, drink and service were great.

Amazing!!!! ! Food was full of flavours, service was so good and Rob was very polite and very helpful with choices of food

Food was so tasty. Really friendly staff, quick service. Couldn’t fault anything about the place. Will definitely be returning

Another great experience. Francesco and his team always deliver not just great food but the best personal experience.

Delightful evening! The best Indian meal I have had in years. The fish was cooked beautifully.The favours kept building. Will visit again when next in Brighton.

We have been to Indian Summer last night and we stop talking about how amazing it was. This is not your usual Indian restaurant in the UK.. the food is incredible. It feels like you are eating proper authentic street food. Everything is fresh and...

Really enjoyed the Thallis and the sharing starter platter. Tandoori paneer was on another level. What a great restaurant!

Delicious. Hadn’t been to Indian Summer since it changed hands as we were worried we might be disappointed as it was such a lovely restaurant. Well we were very impressed and I regret not having been back sooner. Food was delicious and the service couldn’t...

Visited on New Year's Eve and so glad we did. As usual, the food was amazing. So grateful that they cater for Coeliac sufferers. Have already booked to return and so looking forward to it.

This is one of our fave restaurants, have been visiting for years when wine flights were a thing! Great food every time. 4 of us all chose the thali, 1 vegan and they were astonishing. Friendly staff, great service, fab end of dinner cocktails. Will...

Fantastic children's menu, great food. We had a great experience, really friendly staff too. Thank you x

An unexpected delight, a hidden gem! Food and service were faultless! The lamb melted in the mouth. Definitely going again!

I have heard good reports about this restaurant and I turned up not really knowing what to expect. Looking at the menu, there were a lot less items on it that every other Indian restaurant I have been to, which I found intriguing. I am...

Great authentic northern Indian cuisine, amazing ratings so had to go, couldn't fault the "home-cooked" flavours, my wife is Indian and it took her back to when her mum cooked at home, a compliment indeed, went for the grand thali, a combination of the best...

Food was excellent, with wonderful choice. We were looked after very well by Elena . Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing service, drinks and food!!!! such good vibes, so friendly owkwkwkeksksjsnenkwwkkwkskskwkwkwksklsls delish

An excellent, relaxing atmosphere with delicious food. Menu provides an interesting bit of information and insight into the dish which adds a special little ✨ to the experience. Place is nicely decorated and very very warm! Would come again.

Fantastic food! Most authentic Indian food I have had in the area. The restaurant was busy but we were greeted warmly and service was impeccable.

Wonderful restaurant! Really friendly staff, delicious food, generous portions… lovely decor. The mango lassi, vegetarian thali mango desert were amazing! A lovely different menu 😍

Visited this resturant a few years ago, and pleasantly surprised to see it has survived. Quality and Quantity go hand in hand. Keeping to a small amount of choice greatly improves the dishes and the service is top notch. I can’t recommend the team highly...

Amazing food, delicious, along with superb service. Paneer butter masala, Mamaji chicken, chicken butter masala and the veg thali are definitely worth trying out.

What a hidden gem! Had a great meal here, their fish main was super tasty, well presented, as was the vegetarian platter, king prawns etc

Great food and wonderful service. Absolutely love this restaurant! My favourite dish is the vegetarian thali but everything is amazing!

Great food, service all complimented by fantastic background reggae music so when next in Brighton we’ll return👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is my new favourite restaurant in Brighton! The food was delicious, the staff very nice and helpful. The food arrived very quickly and the atmosphere is nice and unpretentious. It’s nice to go to a place where you can hear yourself speaking without having...

Have visited Indian Summer over 10 times and the experience is always the same, amazing! The food is consistently brilliant & the service staff create a loverly atmosphere in the restaurant. On the off chance, we popped in whilst we were in town of a...

This place was a new experience and an amazing one food to die for! Definitely coming back great tastes and different like Indian tapas

Really great food, fantastic service, and great atmosphere! The Grand Thali really lives up to the hype! Special shoutout to our waitress Egle who looked after us brilliantly :)

We visit Brighton prob once a year and when we do always book in for a Saturday night. Amazing food, ambience and service. Never fails to please.

Lovely Indian food with a twist. We fancied an Indian while we were away. This one had great reviews & it certainly lived up to them. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The curry was outstanding. The waitresses were also very accommodating. However there was a...

The establishment had a great atmosphere. The staff were warm, friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. The shot at the end was an added fun bonus. Thank you!

Enjoyed a quiet Monday night dinner with my boyfriend at Indian Summer. Only a large table of customers in there at the back so we had the front of the restaurant. I was drawn in by the reviews after researching the area for our 3...

Absolutely my favourite Indian restaurant EVER 🩷 The food was authentic and absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, the staff were friendly, so relaxed. We even went back the next day because we couldn’t fit everything in that we wanted to eat!

Staff were excellent and level of service really made the experience. Very friendly and genuinely helpful despite being a very busy Saturday night. We were held up and missed our booking slot and manager made every effort to accommodate us in a very kind manner....

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G we love this place!! Eaten here three times and loved it every time. Delicious food, good wine, great service. Highly recommended. You’ll need to book as it’s always rammed. Fantastic for Coeliacs with great Gluten Free options.

Delicious food perfect for friends to sit eat and enjoy the chat. We love this place and I hope you do too. In the Lanes of Brighton a stones throw from the sea.

Spent the night eating tremendously delicious Indian food with my wife The vegetarian shared starter was super tasty, hearty and carefully presented …the samosas are insanely good The thali main was supposed to be for one but we shared it and every little dish/pot was...

Welcoming staff and wafting aromas greeted us before being shown to our table for 4. Options explained, choices made, wine poured and thereafter ensued an array of delicious food. Our omni visitors were delighted with their choices, as were we with ours. Vegan Thalis is...

Fantastic meal again. This is NOT your standard Indian with the standard menu, this is something and special in my view. The menu is very different and the food is so flavourful without it being too hot. Great balance. This is the best Indian I...

Popped in for a quick curry in between bands at a festival and Francesco was wonderful. Ensured we had a great meal in half an hour. We loved this place before, now even more. Great food and service.

We ordered Dosas for lunch and they were really tasty! Small however compared to other restaurants that serve dosas, but they were really yummy and would go back. The interior is also super quirky, loved it! - Our host was Mikey and she made she...

We had a fabulous vegetarian thali. A tasty mix of different delicious dishes. It was great to have a range of curries to try.

This is one of the nicest restaurants in Brighton. The food is always excellent ans the staff are lovely, friendly but not pushy. I'd definitely recommend the butter chicken and the dal. Their Indian twist cocktails are great too, especially the crimson sari. I'd recommend...

Quite the nicest Indian meal we have had for a very long time. We particularly liked the way the staff took time to explain the food whilst serving it. We will definitely come again.

Awesome! Most enjoyed meal in ages, so tasty, I had the Meat Thali which was epic, wife & daughter shared Grand Thali which was equally superb. The cocktails with an Indian twist were nice too. Great service too, perfect balance of friendly, attentive but not...

amazing time the staff were so friendly and explained every dish to us! we went for a birthday and the whole place was very accommodating and the food was delicious x

Everything is worth the visit: the service, the colourful place, and above all, the quality of the dishes. Excellent cuisine, thanks for a great evening!

Had a wonderful family meal here. More of an artisan Indian restaurant like chilli pickle and Mowgli than a traditional curry house. Highly recommend the grand thali dishes - a collection of distinctive and beautifully spiced curries - chicken, paneer, and lamb with an abundance...

My daughter & I had a lovely meal here before going on to see Gary Numan in concert. Staff where brilliant, telling us all about the different dishes, my daughter went for the Butter Chicken & I went for the Mamji Chicken, both the meals...

The restaurant itself is stunning, like a work of art. The staff are friendly and helpful with spice tolerance and allergies. The cocktails were lovely. We had bhel puri and masala dosa to share which we have every time we go. Lamb mewari and the...

As an Indian living in the UK i was missing home cooked Indian food and THIS is the place for it. Such good quality food with just home like taste. The staff is polite and helpful in suggesting food according to various tastes, they even...

Amazing food ! We were served by a very friendly guy, the place is very nice and cozy. My friends and I loved it. Amazing started

We found this beautiful little restaurant on Instagram (@indiansummerbrighton) ! And as soon as we got to Brighton on our holiday we went there. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the interior is so cool and a very modern Indian restaurant. The waiters we super...

Great food, great atmosphere, really great wine too which I didn’t expect. Fully recommend. I’m only visiting but I will be recommending to local friends.

Lovely settings, food was amazing. Best Indian for ages. Friendly staff. Good for a special occasion. Just on a side road up from the seafront. Bit on the pricey side but you pay for what you get and we got a very nice meal

On holiday for 5 days fro. Shropshire. Found this little gem. Food was absolutely amazing , full of flavour. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Was given a taster of sauces before we decided what to have. Asked for a larger portion of one...

Great thalis and lovely staff. Initially disappointed that meal was served too quickly, but manager more than made up for this. Had a wonderful anniversary meal. Thank you 🙏

My husband loves indians, we less so. I am often put off by the standard ambience of most indian restaurants irrespective of the food Eg. Bright lighting and flock wallpaper. Indian Summer has modern gorgeous decor with lovely light/ambience. Excellent service and food was brilliant.

This restaurant serves the best Indian food I have tasted. So good, I didn't take ant photos. Portions are generous, friendly staff and a very chilled vibe. The next time I'm in Brighton, I will be back.

The food was really good and we enjoyed it and the best part very very friendly staff. The Biryani was okay but overall amazing experience

Great portions, biryani was really nice with large chunks of succulent meat. Food arrived very quickly, service friendly and efficient. Can't fault this restaurant!

It is Very delicious! Pretty near to real Indian food in India. Very good service- they explain all the food if you want..

Wandered in late afternoon and had a wonderful meal. Fantastic lamb curry, garlic naan, mango crème brûlée and calypso coffee.

We had dinner on Sunday 3rd at Indian Summer, Brighton - we just walked past and saw how busy it was and how amazing the food smelt and decided to pop in. The staff were very friendly and the service was prompt. The food was...

Superb food- chicken butter with added spice was great as well as garlic bread & lamb curry. Service staff were superb, highly recommend!

One of the best curries I’ve had for a long time, real authentic feel to the place, staff v friendly and well informed. Looking for an excuse to go back to a Brighton so I can eat here again!

The friendly, attentive staff & delicious, generous portions of food made this a great night out. Add some cocktails & Cobra beers & enjoy!

Top👍 Haben zu zweit gegessen und es hat uns sehr gefallen. Das einzige Problem war, dass es schon kostspielig war....

I ordered a special occasion meal for approximately 30 people at my birthday celebrations in a private garden in Brighton. I was able to talk to the head chef and arrange to pick up three main dishes of Chicken Curry, Vegetarian Curry and Rice +...

Amazing food! Taste was very similar to restaurant food in India. The interior is colorful and beautiful. We had the thali which we highly recommend since you get to taste a bit of everything! @risholflavour

Amazing place, service and especially the food. Was cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend Indian Summer in Brighton. Proper traditional Indian cuisine.

Amazing vegan options. Authentic delicious Indian food in a fabulous setting with super cool decor. We had a masala dosa ( who doesn't love a dosa !) And the vegan thali! All yummmmm Try the south East Asian styled cocktails... you won't be disappointed. Thanks...
