Manjus in Brighton and Hove

Lovely friendly, family run restaurant with plain but stylish decor, and good simple tasty food. Recommended

Viajamos con frecuencia a Londres desde Nueva York, y cuando lo hacemos, siempre estamos seguros de tomar el tren a Brighton para disfrutar del aire del mar, el 99 Flake y la mejor experiencia gastronómica india que hemos tenido. La comida es sabrosa, fresca y deliciosa. El personal es paciente, amable y feliz de explicar el menú.Como cenar con la familia. ¡5 ESTRELLAS MÁS!

Amazing. We ordered the whole menu as a group of 4 and loved every dish! Highly recommend. 🤤 the team that run it are super friendly and helpful too!

I would recommend Manjus. The food was mostly delicious although one or two dishes could've done with slightly more depth of flavour. Also the chilli paneer was very hot (not complaining, just a warning!). Highlights were the spinach/onion bhaji and the caramelised carrot dessert, both were superb.Service was great, really efficient and friendly. But I objected slightly to the officious text message before arrival telling us that our table was only reserved for 90 mins. That isn't long enough for a relaxing, three course meal and unsurprisingly we were still at our table at 10pm, 2 hours after arriving. Given there was clearly no subsequent booking for our table, I didn't understand the slightly aggressive nature of that text.But overall, a good experience and recommended

Manju's food is phenomenal, really, really good. It's tiny, so booked but we went as a group of 10 and they fit us at a table. We decided to order one of everything and share, and so glad we did because there wasn't a single dud dish on the menu.Great, tasty food,

A pleasant experience- but not a 5 star one. I appreciate the authenticity and uniqueness of manjus amongst numerous other Indian restaurants- it definately felt different and was good to experience. However, the food largely tasted quite average- some dishes were very nice but most were actually pretty bland. This would have been ok if it wasn’t for the high prices and expectations. It was a little disappointing. The waitress who served us was a bit grumpy and not particularly friendly (again fine if you’re in a cheap chain restaurant but not what we expected here), and, while it is admirable that their 83 year old mother still works as the chef, when you hear this repeated constantly to everyone who walks through the door, the whole thing starts to sound a little like a sales pitch. Overall, fine, but I think a lot of the appeal of manjus relies on the story behind it (authentic food, family restaurant, mum working as chef), and the food unfortunately fails to live up to expectations. Some genuine tips for the restaurant that would improve the experience for customers: 1. let them know how many more dishes are coming, as we had no idea whether we were halfway through our meal or near the end. 2. Make it clear, as the dishes arrive, which are very spicy.3. Point out any cold dishes as they arrive at the table- we didn’t know what was what.

We have been here once before. Again one could not fault the lovely dishes. Manu cooks great Kachori.The service is good and the food is authentic.

This is a small family run restaurant which ticks all the boxes. The menu is not huge, so each dish is perfected and wonderful. The staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, but not "in your face" and the restaurant is small and intimate. My first visit, but I'll definitely be coming back and have recommended it to friends.

We went based on the ratings of this restaurant and they lived up to 5 stars! We had 4 starters and 2 mains shared between 2 of us. The paneer starter and main is wonderful as was the deconstructed samoosa and their speciality starter (can't recall the name). The flavors burst in your mouth and hot if you like a bit of heat!Their chilled alcohol free drinks are amazing as is their gin collection. Service is efficient and the owner is very friendly and informative on what else we can see in the area. You have to try the ice cream, I have never had such tasteful ice cream before!

Great food, fab service. This is a family run place where Manju still cooks. Her katchori are a masterpiece. A wonderful little restaurant to which we shall return.

A sweet little family restaurant, very reasonably priced and the food looked beautiful. Was very much looking forward to our visit after much research, but the heat from the amount of chilli used made it very very difficult to enjoy. We are big foodies and we don’t shy away from ‘heat’ in food at.all. However we both found it totally overpowering and took the enjoyment away from the food. I mentioned to the waitress that we were finding it too hot and she just looked at me and said “it is Indian food!” (Not the most helpful comment) It was clear a lot of effort had gone into the presentation and the staff were very attentive, but just a shame it wasn’t as enjoyable in the taste.

We had a delicious lunch at this wonderful family restaurant.I loved the inclusion of your mother’s story at the start of the menu ,a real inspiration,The food was so tasty and from the moment we walked in we felt we had been welcomed into a very special place .My daughter and her partners are both vegan and had just so much to choose from.I wished we lived nearer, as this would certainly be a regular retreat .Even the drinks were beautiful -thank you .

We really enjoyed a sharing platter for two. It was beautifully presented, tasted great and bursting with spicy flavours. We were unable to book an evening as it was fully booked, well worth a visit but book early !

Stopped in for mid-week dinner with a friend. An absolutely wonderful first time dining experience here. Four small plates and two curry plates, with wonderful drinks, all served by a genuinely warm, friendly, helpful duo front of house. Wonderful family history here too. I cannot recommend enough if you’re looking for honest, delicious small plate Indian sharing dishes. Booking recommended, this delightful place will only become more popular.

really enjoyed our evening at Manjus. Loved the format - the menu is made up of number of small sharing plates, 4 starters and 2 mains recommended for the two of us which was plenty. I'm not vegetarian but loved the food here really delicious. Highly recommend Manjus and hope to be back next time in Brighton. The staff are great too, couldn't be better!

Such a nice little family run restaurant, it’s clear why it’s rated so highly by other reviewers. Some of the best food I have ever tasted can’t wait to come back

We were looking for an Indian restaurant with a difference and chose Manju's due to the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. There were 4 of us so, after talking to one of Manju's sons, we chose to have all 12 dishes on the menu to share between us. The food was wonderful, fresh and very tasty and it was lovely that every dish was explained to us when it was served. We are vegetarians but our friends are not but they said that they didn't miss having meat and enjoyed all the dishes that we had. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and it was lovely that both Manju's sons took the time to chat to us. The restaurant was full and you definitely need to book. Sadly we are not local to Brighton but we would definitely return to the restaurant when we come back to the city. We would highly recommend it.

We visited for a birthday celebration meal in the early evening after booking a few days in advance. We were warmly welcomed by Manju's sons. We ordered a wide selection of the dishes that were available, which we all tried. All the dishes including desserts were exceptionally delicious and beautifully presented (it is making me hungry now just thinking about them!). We are vegetarians but I am sure meat eaters would equally appreciate the lovely food. Manju's sons provided friendly and efficient service throughout our visit and there was a lovely atmosphere in the resturant. I agree with all the positive comments expressed in the reviews of others and based on our experience, I am suspicious of the very few negative comments on this site. I am already planning our next visit to Brighton and will be in touch soon to book a table in advance.

Definitely worth a visit. This is a great little family run vegetarian Indian restaurant. It’s small and you need to book in advance. Food was fresh and flavoursome. Already planned another visit. Great value for money.

Ordered a series of dishes to share. Well cooked with balanced flavors. I could not find fault with the food or service.

We went as a table of four and ordered all of the dishes on offer. All beautifully presented and very tasty. Service very good and overall a very good night was had by all.

Visiting our vegan daughter in Worthing she was lucky to reserve us a table for this fantastic restaurant on the last night before they close for the Christmas period. Superb food with incredible textures and tastes, wonderful service and a world away from the usual curry house. Can't wait to come back.Thank you; our holiday definitely started here!

If you're looking for good food from India that isn't generic, then this is an excellent place to visit. Authentic Gujerati food, with a very contemporary twist ( the smashed samosa is a treat) served by a very friendly family at reasonable prices.

I’m not a vegetarian but if I could eat here all the time I’m sure I’d never look at meat again. The food is delicious, extremely authentic, and plentiful! Four of us ate and for ease ordered everything on the menu to share - the menu is perfectly formed with a good variety of dishes and is so tasty (I would recommend parties of four or more do the same, try everything!). You will not be disappointed.

Went to Manju’s on Thursday 12th December 2019 with my partner after reading the reviews on here.

Small indian restaurant with such a cosy and modern atmosphere. The food was really good and you see appreciate all the little details.

We had a lovely meal at Manju's. The staff were extremely friendly and took time to explain the dishes and help us make our selections. The dishes are quite small and designed for sharing, but they were all very tasty, full of interesting flavour combinations and quite different from typical Indian restaurant food. Many of the dishes on the menu are made using non-gluten containing ingredients, and being a coeliac the staff were careful to avoid any cross-contamination. There was also a choice of several gluten-free craft beers to accompany the meal.

We booked a table here for our five anniversary and we were not disappointed. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating. We ordered five dishes - each more delicious than the last. Will definitely be returning!

Small and very friendly restaurant. Interesting menu, small plates, big flavours, delicious! We loved it!

Oh wow what a find thank you TA community we only went here on your recommendations. And what a find. We loved every dish put in front of us and as meat eaters did not miss it at all. So lovely to eat such tasty food. The flavourings were amazing. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel so welcome and it was lovely to chat with everyone working there. And all respect to Manju and her cooking. A super experience.

Brought my partner here as he's been to India and is a big fan of authentic Indian food. Absolutely wonderful. Charming staff and very attentive . Lovely rich fresh food - all naturally spicy just bare that in mind. Cosy atmosphere. Lots of choice. All veggie - delicious will return

I don't often write reviews but I feel I should with Manju's. The staff where fantastic, friendly and accommodating! The food was to die for and came with a smile and explanation of the dish and I could not fault them. The deserts where incredible. The drinks menu was great espically the cocktails. I would go again for sure. It is a great place if your looking for some authentic cooking made that's clearly been made with love.

My fella is a huge Indian food fan (borderline obsessed!) We were booked for lunch and ordered half the menu (small sharing dishes) seeing the joy in his face enjoying the food here we made a snap decision to go back and order the second half of the menu for dinner.

I was booked in for lunch and enjoyed the restaurant so much that I went back for dinner! All the meals were presented beautifully and tasted delicious. I'll be returning next time I'm in Brighton!

Manju's is an incredibly special place. You are welcomed warmly and guided through the menu expertly by Manju's sons. As a group of four, we enjoyed all the tapas plates and two of the curries. All superb, in particular the palak bhaji and chilli paneer. Meat is not missed at all. Make sure you leave room for pudding (we shared three!) We will be back again and again ...

Highly recommend this little place .. have tried several times to get in but gets fully booked quickly . It was do worth the wait .. do not go thinking that it’s your usual run of the mill curry houses who’s food has been adapted for western taste. Therefore the food is traditional home cooked Indian food and therefore tends to be a little bit more on the spicy side and is tapas style It’s a family run restaurant who genuinely want you to enjoy both the food and the experience and care about what you think . Both food and drinks , cocktails were all great . It’s a very different way of dining and is veggie food only ., but even for meat lovers this won’t be missed as the food is so full of flavour . Loved it .

This is an authentic experience with a tapas style menu that lets you try lots of flavours and dishes. They are purely vegetarian and give you an explanation and history of each dish which is cooked by their 83 year old mother! Would definitely recommend.

After seeing the restaurant on TV last week I managed to get a table last Saturday for an early sitting at 6pm - The small cosy venue was already buzzing. When you eat here you get a dining experience. Our waiter took the time to describe the origin of each dish and how his mother lovingly prepares all of the food with the assistance of a few other female chefs.

Sometimes you go somewhere and you just know everything is going to be okay. I had this feeling last night when my partner and I entered Manjus.

Not your usual curry house.. excellent varied and different dishes to the usual.

What a delight, just walking by and caught this very pretty looking restaurant out of the corner of my eye. It is only small in size as a restaurant but what a joy. Greeted by two brothers whose warm smiles and friendly greeting immediately made us feel like we were invited. They started this restaurant for their mum who loves to cook.

We came here for dinner before a show having only just learned about it online. Manjus is exclusively vegetarian (as is most authentic Indian cuisine), and whilst we are not vegetarian we thought we couldn't pass up a chance to come here after seeing the reviews.

Great family run restaurant. Awesome. 100% recommend. My wife and I went here for a dinner and it was great. Food was exceptional and the service was brilliant.

Manjus was absolutely delightful. We visited as a family with my cousin who is a vegan. All dishes which didn’t contain cheese as the main ingredient were able to be changed to suit his diet.

Four of us booked for Saturday lunch and had pani puri, chilli paneer followed by thalis and mini dosa. Superb flavours and friendly service as always. Definitely make sure you try the fantastic mango chutney! Looking forward to our next visit.

We found this little gem as we were walking through the lanes, we were delighted with the attention to detail, the staff were brilliant, the food is like nothing I have had before, beautiful, my only slight tiny criticism is I felt a little rushed with the speed our food came out and felt I had to rush it and couldn’t really saviour it. Maybe if you took out just a couple of tables it wouldn’t feel so crowded. I would thoroughly recommend eating here if you want something a little different.

We consider Manjus to be the benchmark or yardstick by which all restaurants, (not just Indian), need to be measured. The quality of cuisine, the presentation, the standard and the level of service are all just superb.

we had to book a week in advance because this place is so popular as a group of four we were at a larger table,there were eight choices of starters and they recommended that you mix and share this work well as two of us dislike chilli and two love it.

A different menu from usual indian restaurants. The food and service were excellent especially the chilli paneer.

Fantastic food, great service, small menu but everything is worth trying. My friends and I loved everything we tried, the stuffed chilli starter was my favourite

Can't fault the food and service. The food is good - tasty, well cooked. The cook understands what makes good home style Indian food.

An authentic dining experience. The dishes arrive as ready and are perfect for sharing as a group. The waiter was very good about saying which dishes were suitable for the gluten-intolerant person in our party.

We regularly go at lunch time, however they just about managed to squeeze us in before the rush tonight which was so very welcome after a hard day:)

We booked in advance for a table at Manju’s as we’d read the restaurant was small – a good move as on the Saturday we visited, the place was very busy with hopeful diners being turned away.

We had a lovely evening with the most amazing dishes! We just googled best indian restaurant in brighton and thats what it was! Perfect menu with unique and well selected dishes. Also the people are special and so caring. They make you feel so comfortable and welcome. One day after the dinner manjus sons recognised us on the streets and starting chatting to us like good old friends! Great experience!!!!!

Stopped by on the off chance this week, to grab a lunch box. The restaurant was small, but packed, they were very busy... however, they still managed to put a very nice Thali vegan lunch box together for me in 10 mins, to take away. It was hot, fresh and extremely delicious. It comprised of rice, a kidney bean curry, an Indian falafel style number, and some salad. 10/10. Served in a brown card box, with a serviette and wooden fork. Looking forward to visiting again. :)

My partner and another couple visited last night and we were not disappointed.

Chanced upon this lovely little restaurant after wandering around Brighton for the day, and we couldn’t have been happier. The staff so kind and accommodating, and the food was not only delicious but well presented with the various tasting plates giving us such a heavenly range of flavours - and the gin and tonic wasn’t too shabby either!!! We came out feeling that we had had a truly authentic experience! Couldn’t recommend this restaurant more highly.

Great experience and really nice food, atmosphere and wines! Service is quiet and very friendly! Will definitely go back soon!

Went here as fb reviews were good, and yes it's really excellent. We had all vegan options and the food was excellent. We liked the tapas style servings, lots of small dishes that were lovely. It gets very busy there and there is only 24 places so you have to book ahead. Cost was ok too, 48 quid to full 4x small dishes and 2x mains sharing with 2x beers. Staff were friendly and nice. Recommended!

We went here for a family meal. The food was lovely. I enjoyed having the small plates delivered throughout the evening. It gave us time to appreciate the flavours of each dish individually. They made most of the dishes vegan for me. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is nice. There are only a few tables so it almost feels like you are eating in someone’s house. It was full which isn’t surprising. Looking forward to going back for lunch one day to try the thali.

Not a big place and although they operate two evening sittings you must book. I got lucky with a cancellation when I rang on the day but at least half a dozen groups were turned away while we were there. Lots of small dishes on the menu and idea is you pick approx 3 starters and 2 curries. I'd encourage a sense of adventure and just go with it. The homemade chutneys are incredible and best I've had. Onion bhaji is terrific and curries are rich, packed with flavour. No rice here but chapati are warm and a great alternative. Not sure the total of five dishes I had would be enough for a big eater but a total of 10 dishes for the two of us with glasses of wine was £45. I considered that a bargain considering the lesson in taste I was given.

This restaurant deserves an extra special review because it delivers on everything, perfectly! The food is delicious. I loved the fact that you could taste every ingredient - the passion for creating recipes was clear in every bite. I could (and will) happily return again and again to try other things on the menu.

Went with very high expectation. The portion size was too small. Might work well for international tourists definitely not for Indian tourists.

A wonderful restaurant, superb personal service and a lovely setting, I am certain it’ll expand soon. By far the best Indian vegetarian food we’ve ever had in the UK and as good as that in northern India. All cooked to order, healthy and so fresh. Absolutely loved the creative smashed Samosas appetiser, flat Bharjis and the pea balls - main course Dahl, Dhossa and Paneer just sensational. Congratulations, we’ll be back !

I have been twice to Manjus and both times have left full of joy and delicious food! Service is very friendly, the decor is lovely and the food is just wonderful. It is hard to choose because everything looks and tastes so good. Portions are delicate but filling and the recommended amount to order which is stated on the menu was just right. The family running the restaurant are excellent if you need to deal with food allergies as everything is home made on site. It is a small place with short opening hours and it really feels like a special occasion and a privilege to enjoy a meal here. I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend the paneer curry and trying allllll the chutneys which are unlike anything you might get from a supermarket...I probably can't ever go back to shop-bought mango chutney ever again now!

Came here after reading the excellent reviews. I was not disappointed. Food came as a selection of small dishes to share. the dishes were quite spicy. All were very authentic and incredibly tasty. We loved the smashed samosa and stuffed chillies. The food is all vegetarian and as meat eaters we did not miss the presence of meat. Will be back the next time I’m in Brighton

perfect place for authentic gujarati home cooked food but at a very extravagant price!!

Visited with my husband at lunchtime and we each had a thali. Absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced and spiced. Great value for money with lovely service. Put manjus at the top of your to do list!

Excellent flavours of north India with pretty much everything homemade - chutneys, sauces etc. Vegetarian with good vegan options. All very healthy and a bit different from the mainstream Indian. Friendly helpful service. This is a small restaurant which somehow we walked right past. Book early to get a table.

I love Indian food and was very excited to try this restaurant, BUT if like me you can't handle medium + heat dishes then avoid! My partner was raving about the food, but for me even the mango chutney was too hot... Such a shame as the food smelt amazing and the service was incredible.

I went there at 6pm when they just opened and the place was empty. They told me they were fully booked and it was of no use to come back later...this was said on a very rude way. They probably don't make enough money if one person sits on a table. The food might be good I will never know.

We had read about Manjus and were excited to visit.

First: Reserve, it is compact and sells out.

You have to book way in advance for good reason. We went as a hungry group of 4 and ordered everything on the menu to share - the small plates and small curries are pretty small so make sure you order at least 3 per person. Delicious

We were in Brighton and tried many of the top rated names in Brighton like Curry Leaf so disappointing and over rated.

Visited the restaurant again for the 3rd time (so I won't keep reviewing) but this time for my birthday and again it was a delicious and enjoyable lunch. We both had the thalis and shared the puri as a starter. The food is delicious, the service is genuinely friendly and unlike many restaurants they show a genuine interest in their customers. It's a great restaurant and I'd strongly recommend it.

Really delicious food, impeccable and authentic customer service, provided by the family men. Apparently the women are cooking in the kitchen - all the credits for the flavours go to them!! We'll definitely be back to this lovely family-owned restaurant for more.

Visited here on a Friday evening, booked last minute and I think we were fortunate to get in as it was busy all evening. It’s a lovely cosy, small restaurant, with only a few tables, but that gives it its friendly and authentic feel. The staff were welcoming and chatty from the get go, and we really enjoyed finding out a bit more about the family who run the restaurant. There was a good selection of wines. The food was absolutely incredible. The flavours made your mouth tingle with excitement and it was so authentic, and beautifully presented. We loved that it was a small menu, but with a real variety of options so you could try several different small plates. Honestly can’t wait to return to this amazing gem of a restaurant! Thank you to the family and team who looked after us.

Do not expect your traditional Indian menu in this place, instead allow them to surprise you with various unique platters that you will remember for a long time. As far as I am concerned, this is my new standard for Indian food. I cannot wait to come back.

Everything about this place is great. The staff are lovely, the food is authentic and delicious and the atmosphere is cosy. We loved Indian food before coming here and now we find most other Indian restaurants mediocre and want to go back to Manjus!

My mum and I heard about this place online and decided to try it out. It’s in quite a hippy part of Brighton. We both ordered the thali which was vegetarian and gluten free (came GF as standard). At £10 a thali it was good value and a sufficient portion size for me. The small appetiser was a little hard so I’m guessing it was reheated. Other than that it was all great.

This small family restaurant has a great back-story. Two Gujarati brothers have opened the restaurant for their 82 yr old Mum to cook the food they all grew up with - which is delicious. They all love what they are doing and you will to!

Found this restaurant from Trip advisor reviews. So glad I did. Concept is to try a number of different street food or curry dishes. Food freshly prepared, explained by the really friendly staff and full of multi layered flavour. Not a traditional Indian restaurant but in my view all the better for it. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a good value friendly food experience.

Absolutely superior experience. Fantastic service, delicious food, excellent value. Would highly recommend the chilli paneer and pani puri.

We are not vegetarians there is no need for meat with these delicious veggie dishes! The flavours of all of the dishes were divine and the presentation of the food was outstanding. The service was excellent too, with super friendly staff who were only too happy to explain the dishes to us. All in all a most enjoyable meal in every way, we will certainly be back.

We were a party of four and visited Manjus' on Saturday night - having booked a table well in advance - which I would highly advise. The restaurant is small and very much a family run business. The service was excellent from all members of staff. The dishes varied enough to give you a real sense of flavours. We loved it so much that we will be returning. Thank you Manjus' for a fabulous dining experience.

This is a jewel of a place. Its cosy and popular. You'll need to book in advance. Currently the menu is Street food which means there's a limited choice of dishes. The flavours are fresh and beautifully layered with enough chilli to add warmth.

Great food, great service, and lovely atmosphere. Also really pleased to hear that they won't compromise the quality of their food and the style of their restaurant by inviting deliveroo, justeat, and ubereats to deliver their food. Great stuff!

My favourite vegetarian Indian restaurant in Brighton. The menu changes from time to time but the food is always great and the service too.

The service was great, all the tables were reserved and they said they could seat us as long as they could have the table back in an hour and a half, which suited us great! However, I wasn't a fan of the tapas style serving and the food was very mediocre...but it has a nice atmosphere and lovely people running it, a very popular place, it just wasn't for me.

For a first venture into the business pretty much flawless!

Subtle and intriguing flavours with authentic tastes. Nice to have a wide variety of dishes arriving at intervals. This is high quality food, and better than comparable places in the city. We ordered 6 dishes between us and I did still feel hungry afterwards as the portions are small especially considering the price.

I can’t remember a meal I have enjoyed so much recently. We ordered one of everything to share. It is authentic vegetarian food that comes out as and when. Dishes were explained by the waiter and at least half are gluten free. I haven’t got a favourite as they were all great. The excitement was savouring the different flavours. Service is excellent and atmosphere friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

We ordered one of everything the menu to share. You really can’t fault it, I couldn’t even pick a favourite dish for some reason it was my first time trying paneer, delicious! Everything was vegetarian and the lady cooking was so lovely I Bumped into her on the way to the bathroom. The decor is lovely and it’s reasonably priced.

Great night with my friend here eating up to four of the main plates of various Indian dishes all lovingly prepared and discussed by the staff. We ate practically all the menu and topped it off with puddings and chai tea. Loved the carrot halva. Interesting flavours, small portions so you need to order a few dishes but it's well worth it for the tastes. Well recommended.

The food is simply superb, small plates of traditional Indian street food. A changing variety of dishes as the seasons change. Very personal service with short and interesting descriptions of the dishes.

Really enjoyed the flavours going through this Thali. Not bad at all for a £10. When you get it you don’t think it’s enough but surprisingly it fills you up. If you’re not into spicy food then maybe it’s not for you as there’s a bit of a kick in some of these pots but if you order a mango lassi to sip during the meal it totally extinguishes any spice immediately after.

Had Friday lunch there on our second visit. We both had the Thali and also had a pea / potato type fritter to share along with the house white wine. Delicious combination of tastes, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Very different from the usual curry house fare this is a great place which I'd recommend. Hopefully we'll get to try an evening meal there soon.

Booked a table for lunchtime and were treated to a superb thali, khanda palak bhajia, mattar ringar. Pani puri were so good we ordered another portion. Even had large bottles of Kingfisher..,hurrah!!
