Indian Summer in Brighton and Hove

Good food. Pruthvi did a good service

Pruthvi help us very politely, good natured person and also we having a good food in Brighton thank you so much pruthvi and Indian summer

We visited last night, I read the reviews but should of probably read the menu first. Firstly when we arrived my husband asked for a lager shandy and was told they didn't know what that was so he just had a pint of coke instead which cost £7. They did not sell Tandoori chicken or onion barjees and no pilau rice. The waiter told me my dish did not come with rice so I ordered rice and then when my meal came out it did already come with rice so I had extra rice. The bill came to £85 we paid it and left but was really disappointed and the menu is extremely limited.

Amazing food and nice service. Totally recommend!

Such incredible food, excellent service! Went with a group of 8, they were so accommodating and had multiple people taking care of us!

Excellent We were lucky to get a table. Warm welcome. Great service Great food

Lovely food! Honestly one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to. Both the food (lamb briyani, mamaji chicken, and garlic naan) were fantastic and the cocktails were delicious. Truly a gem

Great discovery. Really nice service and food. Don’t hesitate to experiment.

The owner and whole team went above and beyond for me to cater for my multiple food allergies! They were so professional, diligent, and the food tasted INCREDIBLE!

Excellent place where conviviality, discovery and diversity of dishes are very well highlighted. The service is great with attentive and very friendly waiters! 100% recommendation (especially on the Indian experience ;o)!)

What a nice surprise. The diversity of dishes took us on a journey. We recommend without hesitation. In addition, the service lives up to our expectations.

A lovely surprise! The restaurant is right in the tourist district so we weren’t sure what to expect. But the service was lovely and the food really nice. Well worth a visit

We ordered masala dosa . The taste was average but it had boiled potatoes in terms of masala instead of fully cooked masala.. they severed tadka dal instead of sambhar and coconut chutney was very cold

Delicious food, nice environment and great service. Fully catered for gluten free (celiac) and vegetarian (& vegan). Love this place.

The food is delicious, the food is awesome, I will visit again

Beautiful food and cocktails, highly recommend the Tahli!

Tasty food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Caters to vegans. I would eat here again.

We really enjoyed the food. Pruthvi was a really great host. Must visit place !

Amazing food & Prithvi’s service was brilliant! Very welcoming & he made sure everything was well!

Had my ♥️ set in eating great Indian food whilst visiting Brighton… Indian Summer is simply divine. Starter tasting platter was a meal in itself … delicate, delectable flavours 😋 The Grand Thali following was equally delightful. Signature cocktail menu 💕. Go with an appetite 🙏🏼

Such a fabulous experience at Indian Summer. The service was exceptional and the food amazing. I have eaten here twice and each time is perfect. The staff are so attentive and knowledgeable and make you feel like a valued customer who it’s important to them. I have spent triple this amount on a meal in Ivy Asia and whilst I appreciate the food style is different, the service and quality of food you get in Indian summer is 10x better that of Ivy Asia ! If you want great food and service at a very respectable price - go to Indian Summer !

Went to Indian Summer yesterday for lunch, amazing vegan selection, welcoming and friendly staff and lovely atmosphere! Will definitely be returning 😁

We like the food and taste but the service and attitude of staff was not satisfactory. Specially Angelica, does not look polite and kind to customers. Dislike the service and staff's behavior. Not attending on time for food order as well.

Taste is amazing but it’s bit pricy

A lovely experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional—attentive without ever needing to flag someone down. The food was absolutely delicious. I’m usually not a big fan of Indian cuisine, but this visit completely changed my perspective. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the city craving a gourmet Indian meal.

George was our waiter and was very good... the food was wonderful... the atmos was amazing... made a great srart to our satruday night 👍👍

George the waiter was a great host 👏🏼

Tasty food and brilliant service from George! Greater vibe, would recommend.

So, this restaurant has always been a favourite of ours over many years of visiting Brighton, and I'll be honest, I was a little apprehensive when we discovered that the chef had retired after 24 years. However, we were told by the owner, and our (extremely charming) waiter, that ghe new chef had joined from a Lonfon restaurant where he had been awarded two Micheln stars. I wasn't sure about these stars and whether I cared but after experiencing this evening's sublime and divine feast - I can only rave about this place more than ever. We enjoyed every mouthful - it was a treat fir tgd senses and my taste buds and stomach have been treated like royalty. The service was fantastic - we were madd to feel valued and none of our questions were tiresome despite us being very inquisitive! I cannot wait to visit again. We highly recommend.

Absolutely superb food - exactly what we needed after the marathon.

Not only the food is delicious (meat dishes as well as vegetarians), well presented and a good size portions; the service is unique, they great you when you arrived and they take the time to explain the dishes, give you good recommendations. Highly recommended!! We have tried many Indian restaurants in Brighton and without a doubt this one is the best from all.

We went last night for dinner have not been for a while and was just as nice as we remembered it , the food was amazing, they were very busy and service was slightly slow but really not bad and we were given a complementary drink which was lovely of them , look forward to going back again to have the Tali

Thank you so much Dhanusha for amazing service, and being so attentive!

Lovely Indian restaurant, nice atmosphere, staff were all very friendly and our server was very accommodating to a gluten-free diet. Very kindly allowed for swapping-out items on the thali. Food was delicious, they had great veggie options and the cocktails were delicious too! Highly recommend!

Lovely staff, tasty food and nice atmosphere :)

Food was absolutely delicious, service was fantastic and the vibe/atmosphere was lovely, highly recommend

Really great experience and really relaxing space. We've spent over 2 hours here with great food and amazing cocktails.

Incredible food. Beautiful atmosphere. Will be back. Unforgettable experience. Thank you Indian summer.

Food, service, ambience all excellent

Was really lovely food, waitress super friendly and helpful

Visited with friends such a great restaurant fabulous food and fabulous staff an absolute must visit if in Brighton

Delicious food, excellent hospitality, and lovely decor.

Had dinner there with friends and it was very nice as usual. Our waiter was friendly and funny and made sure we had everything we needed. We all had different kinds of starters and mains (vegetarian and vegan) and we all enjoyed our meal.

Not only is the food amazing, but so are the staff and a massive shout out to Rob. Having had dealing with him over COVID, I can honestly say he is most genuine person I have had the pleasure helping with his waste service. Keep up the amazing work and we will be back soon.

Everything was a delight from the starter to the lassi, including the toilets and the service. Very good experience from start to finish I can only recommend !

Great kitchen, great people! upd 22.03.2025: still amazing — every time here I got gastronomical macroorgasms!

We had lovely food in this venue.

We just had a fabulous meal at Indian Summer. My husband is gluten free and there were so many options and all were delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Food was lovely more traditional than normal English Indian with bold flavors and tastes angelica was a great host very bubbley and knowledgeable about the food

Delicious food, great service, lots of gluten free options. We will be back.

Butter chicken and garlic naan is the best combo ever. Must try one. Lamb biriyani (spicy) is good aswell.

Great food, nice staff, quite a busy/noisy restaurant, not a curry house vibe, more of a curry cafe vibe.

Wow, wow, wow! What a fantastic experience! Where to begin... Staff - warm and welcoming Owner - Rob, could not have done more on the night to make us feel welcome! Food - Insane and so delicious! Venue - Eye catching and beautifully themed Will be returning and so glad we stepped outside the norm when it comes to our usual spots, and Indian Summer has now taken spot number 1 :) Aaron Knightley

Great night great food perfect staff especially george.

Excellent. Incredible food, incredible service

Great food, great service, good atmosphere.

If you are looking for a good Indian, go here. It’s one of the best in Brighton.

Yummy food, the team and especially George looked after us very well. Would recommend

Lovely food and decor, and authentic tasting in the centre of Brighton!

Starters were great but we found each of the curries and condiments in our Thalis were either rather bland or simply not enjoyable. As a huge curry fan this was surprising. Service was friendly but we waited 40 minutes between courses as they forgot our order.

Great food, very good price, very good portion size, Jordan is the best host Kingfisher available in pint pitchers Would recommend

We had the Thali's, they were amazing. So nice to have a variety to eat and the lamb was so good. Staff were friendly, so accommodating and couldn't do enough for you. Quirky gem found here, would definitely come again!

Haven’t been for years offering changed food still good. Service from Matt was really good

I've eaten at many different Indian restaurants this was by far the worst place I've eaten so called Indian food at £154 for 3 off us and we all had the same opinion never again

Probably the best Thali that I have had and I’ve had a few. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was amazing I would highly recommend Indian Summer to anyone who is visiting Brighton and even to locals who have not been before ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was great and the service even better. Jay was amazing!

First time here and the service and food are amazing. Matt, our waiter, was really nice and we couldn't have had a better time. Try the cocktails and save a space for a dessert, they're delicious.

Service (Mat) wonderful as was the food

Food and service both top notch. This was our first visit since a not so great experience 8 years ago. Very pleased we gave it another chance.

Excellent food. The thali was 10/10 and good value. Lovely staff and atmosphere. One of my new Brighton faves already. Thanks for a fab evening. A true hidden gem.

Greta meal for my girlfriend's birthday, would definitely recommend 👌🏼

Ate here on Valentine’s Day so set menu only. Catered for meat and vegetarian with a tasty selection of small plates. The service was impeccable. Def recommend.

We ate at Indian Summer last weekend and I can’t stop thinking about how good the food was! We had the sharing starters and the ribs which fell off the bone, 10/10! For main, the lamb curry with the lemon rice which complimented the curry so well. Service was excellent and I have to say the cocktails were unreal. I’m fussy about my spicy margaritas but these were such a treat. The food is so fresh and delicious you can’t go wrong with anything from the menu.

Loved the food service was amazing especially pruthvi was really kind and helpful

Pruthvi gave great service! Very helpful and friendly.

We come every year for valentines day. The staff are always lovely and the food is excellent. Recommend the Bhel Puri.

I came here tonight with my wife for Valentine’s Day. Pruthvi was incredible and served us immaculately. The food felt like summer, Indian summer… Riesling wine is fab and will flow you away. 10/10 cannot fault.

Really delicious meal! Had the ribs and samosas for starter - the ribs were so tender and delicious, and the sauce had a little kick to it, I'd recommend). Then the meat sharing thali, which had a nice selection or dishes to choose from. The masala chips were nice, but they were a little plain, could have a smidge more of the masala seasoning on.

Came here for a really early supper pre the theatre. Food and service awesome. We had thalis (both meat and veggie) and dosas. Food tasted really authetic with a great mix of flavours. Only downside was being so full that I nearly fell asleep in the theatre. I haven't been here for a few years, but will be back regularly now. The menu feels much broader than it used to be and the beers were excellent too.

Tastes just like home 🥰 Warm, spicy, flavoursome. Loved every bite Also a big fan of their cocktails and desserts

What can I say other than indian summer saved my birthday, we were cancelled from another restaurant and they managed to get 16 of us within 2 hours....the food was awesome and all the staff are lovely 😍 thank you so much

2025 update... Still fantastic 😊 delicious 😋 Amazing place. Excellent every time! Fabulous food. Incredible quality. Wonderful atmosphere. Lovely, helpful, friendly staff. Fantastic 😊

Food average Waiting staff really friendly Front of house rude to the waiting staff in view of customers

Amazing food, the meat Thali is so good! Poppadoms and chutney were so tasty too. Visiting from London and will definitely be coming back! George our waiter was lovely.

The food was great with an array of amazing flavour in loads of different dishes, the service was great, with my main man George sorting out our every need. Explaining the food what it was made out of and making sure everyone was happy. They even bought put our birthday cake with candles and a great song

We had a last minute table reservation here and the experience did not disappoint. Our host, George, was attentive and thoughtful and made our friend's birthday very special. Thank you George and Indian Summer.

Lovely food, nice music, attentive staff

We’ve visited Indian summer many times but tonight’s meal was next level exceptional. The atmosphere, the service, incredible food and I was blown away by the Spicy margaritas 👌🏼. We shared the selection of starters and for main I had the butter chicken curry which was incredible. Everything is fresh and delicious with something for everyone. I recommend all my friends and clients visit this gem of a restaurant. We will be back very soon.

Indian Summer is an absolute gem! The food was bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was delicious, from the rich curries to the freshly baked naan. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and efficient. The staff made us feel truly welcomed and ensured a great dining experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place for a cozy meal. I highly recommend Indian Summer to anyone craving high-quality Indian cuisine. Can’t wait to visit again.

To the best Indian meal I had after 4 years being in the UK. Value for money. Tastes delicious. Portion sizes are generous. Service is fast. Will be visiting soon

This restaurant is so highly recommended. The food was exceptional. I have eaten in a Michelin star restaurant in London and I can safe to say this was actually better. The staff, the atmosphere and just everything generally was 5 star. Cant recommend it highly enough. We had dinner in a Friday night and loved it so much we took a take away home with us on the Sunday. We will be back

What a lovely place to have a causal Sunday diner. Restaurant is warm and vibrant. Atmosphere was very good. i think we were the only people not drinking cocktails. Food was great and service was fantastic. i have been a few times but not for over 5 years. i will be sure to not leave it that long again.

Amazing service and wonderful food

The best Indian food I’ve had in the UK—without a doubt! The flavors are incredible, and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend it!

Best Indian food in the city! Don’t look anywhere else!

This is the best Indian food I’ve had in the UK with an amazing service from the Indian Summer staff. The taste is authentic and everything is cooked to perfection. We had the Meat Thali and it was delicious!!

Good food, good vibe. George was my fave

We had a lovely time here celebrating a birthday! The staff, especially George, served with our large party with ease and patience and we had a wonderful evening. Delish food and drinks!

Excellent food, fantastic fast service- thank you!

Lovely time celebrating a dear friend’s birthday. Very long table and nice chandeliers. The food was as tasty as an Indian summer, just as promised. George was nice
