Mohammed Spice of Life in Brighton and Hove

Really fresh, delicious food and lovely friendly service, always my go to when I come to the open market! I love how the curry is super flavourful and almost soupy

Have been here several times over the past few years and it never disappoints. The food is really tasty at a reasonable price and the vibe feels totally authentic. The staff are the best part though, so nice and friendly!

One of my favourite places to eat in Brighton. The food is delicious, healthy and caters for vegans. The lady who works here is not only a wonderful chef but her personality makes the experience of eating here wonderful, it really does. The masala chai is awesome!

Really nice tasty food, full of flavour and colour, people are super friendly and is located next to the level park, perfect for summer days, they do vegan and veggie options too!!

Came for lunch with my husband and son. It’s rough and ready, as is the manner of the owner, but the food is authentic and so are the people. They were attentive and generous in their treatment of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Would definitely return next time we’re in Brighton.

The best biriyani and Samosa in brighton , also a lovely atmosphere created by uncle and aunty here. Regards Nash

Delicious food and friendly service Authentic with a nice homely feel, and it smelled amazing even from outside! Thank you, see you soon Jasmine- I will be back soon 💞

My partner and our baby went to have lunch there a week ago . The place is family owned and has a total deal of Indian street food . There is no stress no corporate atmosphere. My baby wanted milk , my partner said I’ll go and buy some from the shops but the lady owner offered some and even heated it up for us . The food was lovely ! The samosas were so true to what I had when visited India . The main was a little bland for us , yes still lovely and the baby totally demolished it . I will definitely return , for more ! 💓🙏🏻

We had a delicious lunch here. The food was tasty and authentic. Jasmine was very welcoming and generous. We will be back soon.

First time we'd eaten here and we'll definitely be back. Fantastic food, recommend the lamb biriyani but all looks great. The best samosa I've ever eaten! Jasmine and Mohaned very friendly, It's unit 19 out the back of the market, we like the fact its authentic, not posh with great food and really good value.

Delicious food, very reasonably priced and lovely welcoming and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

A hidden treasure and our favourite place in Brighton to eat! We come here whenever we need a pick-me-up and the food is always incredibly delicious. The family who run it are so gracious and hospitable that whenever we leave we have massive smiles on our faces. Thank you for looking after us today Jasmine!

A really lovely place with great value vegetarian food and the kindest owners :) I highly recommend visiting this establishment!

I had a delicious vegetarian lunch here - super creamy yet also fresh tasting. The woman who served me was happy to accommodate my gluten free diet by swapping bits of the lunch menu around for me, and was incredibly friendly when serving me in the cafe. A warm treat for a hungry belly. Would recommend!

The proprietors were really friendly, the menu was detailed. The decor is unpretentious. The food is really good value! And what food, we both had a lamb curry, cooked slowly (and never boiled, the chef explained) the lamb was melt in the mouth- delicious! I have never tasted a samosa so good! For a starter we shared an onion bhaji- so tasty so moist Drinks I had a really sweet chai and my wife enjoyed a sweet lassi - mango. I will definitely be taking my friends and family back here, and soon

The food is incredible. There is no gee in the food and it’s all about healthy eating, but the taste is the thing. An infusion of flavours and the best samosas I’ve tasted anywhere. The ‘lunchbox’ at £6.50 is excellent value. I had spinach, lentils, rice, squash and a samosa. All served with the sunniest of smiles. A wonderful place for lunch.

No frills but super tasty food, we had lamb. Felt more like an authentic taste and experience than a lot of other restaurants in town and we arrived by bike so we’re able to sit outside with them.We will be back to try more of the menu

Every time I come here I receive outstanding food. The people who work here are very friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. I bring friends and family here, I bring work colleagues here as well because I know that they will receive good quality food and be treated well. I am fond of the daal, although I like the samosas, onion bhajis, spinach…..

The BEST LAMB SAMOSAS in town Light crispy perfect spice mix Very friendly owner/staff… Go try them in the Open Market… top end if you come in from London Rd

We had a lovely meal with food that tasted amazing! The owners are such kind people and make you feel so welcome! Definitely coming back and will recommend it to others :)

Amazing atmosphere with the friendliest staff, can’t thank our server Jasmine enough! The food was gorgeous too. Will definitely be paying another visit

The food is always stunning, the owners are lovely, and the atmosphere is great. Every time I come we’re served by the lovely jasmine and it’s wonderful seeing her smile each time. You have to get the onion Bhajis as they’re kickass

Worst Indian/Bangladeshi food in Brighton. Visited a few weeks ago and had the worst experience here. Slow and rude service, despite the restaurant being completely quiet. Disappointing as I've wanted to try this for months - would not waste my time or money here again,...

The short form: masala chai to beat a grandmother's, a wide menu of good simple subcontinental classic food made by a man who demands quality for his customers and is at pains to know all the little details, and the effortless charm of a couple...

My friend and I visited this little place near the open-air market in Brighton; the owners are friendly and welcoming, the masala chai is great, and the food is fantastic!

The best chicken biryani in all of Brighton, home cooked quality and taste !!! Highly recommended !!!

We were two people and we ordered; Panipuri, chicken Xacutti, and a lamb curry with chapati. Afterwards, even though we were quite full, we were tempted into ordering some samosa because the lady at the next table ordered some and they looked amazing (they were)....

Mohammed- spice of life is an incredible resturant. Its very affordable and the food is very tasty! The customer service is also fantastic. I would highly reccomend trying it!

Nice staff, but for £8 i would expect more, Had a chiken curry there was plenty of rice but not enough chicken, It tasted ok but wasnt cooked fresh came out the microwave watched them do it. samosa was lovely though, Far to pricey for...

A very unassuming place but the masala dosas and samosas are DELICIOUS. Definitely worth a trip to the Open Market (which is also great for food shopping).

I can’t sing my prayers high enough the food is to die for and the service is impeccable I will be returning very soon

The Spice of life makes the best samosas in Brighton. The place is a hidden gem in the indoor open market just opposite the Level. They also do lovely lamb and chicken curries and lassis. Love the place - it's my regular haunt when walking...

Always fresh food, not too oliy, spices just right. Best samosas ever. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere

Mohammed is such a lovely person! Such a great welcome to his little cafe and shop. His food is simple, but authentic and delicious. He deserves lots of customers.

Great samosas. The mains were bland and the portions were too small. King prawn dhansak with tiny shrimp instead of king prawns. Beef special in a dry, thick spicy sauce was tough, oily and on the bland side.

Very friendly staff and excellent food. I will definitely recommend someone visiting Brighton to go there.

If you find yourself facing a Jury's Inn Breakfast in a Bag, and just can't stomach it, head to the Open Markey (5-mins walk) and try one of Mohammed breakfasts. It's original, tasty, flavoursome and refreshing. I have to confess, this is the only breakfast...

I cannot comment on the food because I just stopped by for a drink. I asked the lady if she did mint tea, she didn’t so ordered a water. Not long after a charming man came over to our table and told us he’d just...

had an amazing vegan lunch , the samosas are absolutely incredible and the owners were really friendly

Came here on my lunch break it is a really lovely place in the open market! Very friendly, homely and welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious- I highly recommend the pani puri, dosa, samosas, mango lassi and desserts. Going to have to go back to...

To my fellow vegetarians and vegans, may I warmly recommend Mohammed’s Spice of Life for the most delicious food in town. I find it impossible to walk past his restaurant without popping in to order some veggie samosas, and once you had tasted one you...

I’ve been popping for a while here and the food is incredible. The owners are very sweet and warm people too which is always a bonus. Do not miss out!

My wife is part Bangladeshi and there are so few authentic Bangladeshi restaurants in Brighton. We ordered from Deliveroo and food was fantastic. Highly recommended! My wife said it took her back to eating at her grandma's when she was little.

The vegan wrap is delicious!!! Spicy and tasty, with good flavours. Not greasy and the prices are affordable

I had lunch here, it was really delicious, authentic and super reasonably priced - just £5 for a decent portion of Chana Chat, a chappatti and two small samosas! Really lovely use of spices and flavours. The Masala Chai (tea) was really good too! Definitely...

Run by a small team, with a big heart. During lockdown 1, they not only cooked hundreds of meals for key workers, but offered to lend me their fridge when mine broke down! Aside from that, the food is delicious. So I've just picked up...

Felt like home cooking in the best way - delicious, good value, good veggie/vegan options and lovely people and service. Best samosa we've had in a while too.

the most delicious samosas, they were so kind to give us a couple of extra samosas and some pear free of charge. will definitely come back! a great place to come if you are in brighton visiting, or local. thank you spice of life!

PROPER Bengali cuisine served by a lovely couple, quality place for a spot of lunch or cup of chai! Will definitely be coming again.

this is my favourite restaurant in brighton! the samosas are the best i’ve ever had and everyone there is so nice and lovely! the service was extremely quick and i 100% recommend! :)

The best samosas in all of Brighton, now my favourite food, freshly made and warm (get the vegetable one if you like some spice), they're really friendly excellent customer service 10/10 experience.

Food is delicious and owners are very friendly and kind. They also have vegan and gluten free choice. I really recommend this place and I'll definitely come back!

Dam, este lugar es tan sincero. Esta es la verdadera cocina tradicional bengalí e india. La comida siempre es excelente y el personal es muy atento. No te decepcionarán estos chicos, tienen desde un rico curry hasta los mejores somos como jamás hayas probado. ¡Apoya a tus tiendas locales y viva somosas!

¡Probablemente el mejor servicio al cliente de todo Brighton! ¡Son extremadamente cálidos y acogedores! La comida es absolutamente increíble. Nada como cualquier otro restaurante indio en todo Brighton y las afueras. La comida se prepara con amor y habilidades tradicionales. Siempre te ofrecen alguna fruta complementaria o una samosa, ¡que por cierto son deliciosas!Puede parecer una comida débil desde lejos, pero créeme, cuando entres te tratarán como si fueras de la familia, y la comida siempre es fresca y excelente para tu sistema digestivo. También recomiendo tomar un café allí. ¡Hacen cafés increíbles (no con máquinas) que saben mejor que cualquier Starbucks o Costa!Y si no tienes hambre, al menos ven y saluda :) No te arrepentirás.

Este se ha convertido rápidamente en uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer en el mercado abierto, que ofrece una amplia variedad de opciones vegetarianas y veganas que siempre se sirven con una sonrisa en los rostros del maravilloso personal. Muy asequible y con una excelente relación calidad-precio.

Seek this place out, authentic food, devoid of oil with distinct flavours in each dish. So happy to find decent food that delivers before 1pm.

Buenos días Mohammed,Hace aproximadamente un mes, vine a tu restaurante con mi novia y su papá y comí una de las mejores comidas que he comido en mucho tiempo. El mejor panipuri que he comido :)Puede que nos recuerdes cuando te tomé una foto con mi cámara de película. Desde entonces, finalmente tuve tiempo de desarrollarlo y escanearlo, así que pensé que tal vez lo querrías. Siéntase libre de usarlo para lo que sea.Mejor,Robin

Came here with my brother and had some fantastic food. Samosas to start followed by dosa served with sambar. Delicious! We went for the vegan options, though meat options are also available. The owners were really nice and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back here.

Este es el mejor lugar en Brighton para comida india / bangladesí por asomo. La comida viene en grandes porciones y tiene una increíble relación calidad-precio. Los propietarios también son muy acogedores, gente encantadora y se ofrecieron a hacer un menú para estudiantes porque nos encantó mucho. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficiente, es una comida maravillosa hecha por gente maravillosa.

Space of Life es un pequeño restaurante increíble en el mercado abierto. He probado muchos de sus platos y he encontrado cada uno lleno de sabor y satisfactorio. Mis favoritos son sus samosa y cordero biryani. Tienen muchos platos vegetarianos encantadores también. Cuando estoy de humor para verduras, tengo un pastel de verduras caliente o una de las envolturas.No puedo decir lo suficiente sobre el dueño y su esposa. Siempre son amables y dispuestos a proporcionar un excelente servicio. ¡Yo recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera!

Hemos estado trabajando en los restaurantes del Open Market durante un tiempo y esta vez fue el turno de Spice of Life. Esta es comida india con un guiño hacia Goa. Teníamos al perro con nosotros y, aunque no está permitido en el interior, hay asientos en el exterior cuando no hace demasiado frío y con protección contra la lluvia. La bienvenida y el servicio son muy buenos y está claramente gestionado y gestionado por los propietarios. Pedimos dos platos principales que en la oferta de almuerzo incluyen arroz y samosa. Y pedí dos bhajis de cebolla a un lado. Fue muy amable por parte del propietario traer un bhaji a la mesa para ver si realmente queríamos dos, ya que son enormes. Tan honesto de él, ya que solo teníamos uno para compartir al final. Me gusta ese tipo de servicio. Los platos principales eran buenos, aunque me hubiera gustado un poco más de profundidad de sabor. Dicho esto, esta es una cocina casera y preferible a algunos restaurantes indios que dependen de pastas y MSG. Todo muy agradable y me complace decir que aún no he encontrado ninguno de los restaurantes de mercado abierto que no son geniales.

Food here is absolutely delicious! Extremely generous staff, they gave me a free samosa :) Highly recommend.

Cheap, tasty and the nicest staff ever. I run a monthly meal group and this got the big thumbs up from everyone.

Visited with my dad, who was very impressed at the curries (he had the lamb, I had the vegetarian selection), and overall quality of the food. Mango lassi delicious and not too sweet. Also, good music :)

La mayoría de los alevines y tentadores alimentos que alguna vez tuvieron. Lo que me gusta del restaurante es el ambiente cultural y la decoración de la tienda. Me gusta el hecho de que puedes ver en exhibición en el restaurante el ingrediente tradicional e incluso a partir de ahí. ¡Fantástico! !

I found the food rather bland TBH, most probably won't return as there are many other cafe's near by.

food not too spicy but thats how i like it and you can sit inside and eat your food.the chef is freindly enough and informative

Comimos comida de aquí en un domingo reciente, un bhaji gigante y un extraño plato de curry. Estábamos buscando algo cerca del nivel después de tiempo con nuestros niños pequeños.

Fantastic samosas and great bhaji, our family always visit when we come to the Open Market. The bhaji is huge and will feed you for a long time. Also my favourite samosas, just like my Mothers. The price also is excellent for value.

Great flavour, not at all greasy, great portion size and friendly service. There is nothing about this food that falls short of excellent and the samosas are the best I've ever had. Superb value for money!

I have been eating here for years and the food has always been very very tasty and good value as well. Limited choice but when u know it's good that doesn't matter.

Ordered a chicken tikka masala, it was disgusting to the point I had to bin it after a few mouthfuls.

The masala was bland and sloppy. Naan bread wasn't nice either. I hardly ate any of the meal. I won't be ordering again.

lovely fresh and delicious food. in a good price friendly service traditional and authentic Bangladeshi recipes samosas

The prawn curry had a few prawns swimming in a very thin sauce that tasted of a mildly spiced passatta. The vegetable curry comprised of tinned vegetables in the same sauce as the prawns. The rice and naan were ok.

Driver was unnecessarily rude, also refused to accept that one drink was missing from the order despite the fact it was on the receipt he brought with him, rear,and subsequently gave to me.

We ordered 2 kebabs which were of a high standard, tender pieces of meat and not at all greasy

Food was only warm had to reheat. Food was late. Contacted the restraunt and the person i spoke to was very rude. Will never order from these again.

The driver was pleasant and patient. The food!!! was amazing! I will definitely be ordering again.

Visited for a late lunch with my friend who'd recommended the place. Had both the Goan lamb curry and the vegetable curry; were able to take our leftovers home in one of the take out boxes. Received some complementary extras too. All of which was delicious. Also very good chai and mango lassi.

Tasty food, generous portions delivered hot and on time.

fast delivery. Order was correct and

We visited this place, walking back from the pier, a bit tired and in need of refreshing Masala Tea. Our eyes were caught by these precise words on the menu, while passing by the Open Market. The tea was refreshing and so was the courtesy shown by Mohammed. It was getting a bit late in the evening but they did not show any hurry and offered us complimentary samosas as well. The samosas were tasty and a bit different from those you would normally get in the UK.

Excellent food Excellent Quality Excellent Service
