The best restaurants serving Indian food in Brighton and Hove South East

This restaurant takes the word 'authentic' to quite a new level! I'm sure we've all eaten in restaurants which say they provide an "authentic taste of......" but Manju's not only offers authentic regional indian cooking but also has the courage to take you away from the familiar english version of indian cookery to the kind of flavours and dishes you might actually expect in Gujarat, all freshly prepaired by someone who clearly knows what they're doing. If you want chicken tikka masarla then this is not the place for you. An experience not to be missed.

I have been to many Indian restaurants but to me this one stands out in terms of the quality of the food. It tasted wonderful and fresh and full of well balanced spicy flavour.

Been to Kukis a few times now and it has never disappointed! The chef was very helpful in recommending dishes and clearly knows what he's doing!! Great prices and good beer served on tap. All round wicked experience every time I go! 5/5

Very good service. Lots of people serving you. Friendly staff. Modern indian dishes very tastey. Nan bread one of the best i have tried. Two types, regular and garlic. Medium prices.

Whilst wanting to keep this superb service top secret, I also want them to succeed. You book via WhatsApp a time slot and they send you a menu to select from. Monthly specials are worth it. This is delivery only, placed lovingly in tiffin tins, which are collected the next morning. Slots go quickly, so get in there; you won’t regret it.

We at The Fox Project would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Simply Veg for their exceptional contribution to our recent charity fundraising event. The food you provided was nothing short of spectacular! Our participants were absolutely delighted by the array of freshly made choices, each bursting with flavour and creativity. Not only was the food outstanding, but every dish was served with a big smile, adding a personal touch that made our event even more special. Thank you for helping to make our fundraising event a resounding success! We look forward to working with you again in the future. Highly recommended!

Popped in for dinner and had a lovely selection of the dishes which provided my tastebuds with a whirlwind tour of Asia. The madras omelette pancakes were dynamite and the warm, friendly, family welcome ensures you are well looked after! Thank you and I’ll certainly visit again

Greeted at door & offered choice of table by Des. Whole restaurant atmosphere was buzzing (even at 5pm). Had few questions bout menu & spice/heat intensity of dishes which were answered perfectly & we ordered. Food came in perfect amount of wait time & wow....beautifully presented & delicious. We like to eat from hot plates. Restaurant plates are stainless steel & cold bt Des went & got us 2 traditional plates that he had warmed...cant get better service than that! Whole experience excellent & will def return. Highly recommend.

I use Bengal cuisine as my go to Indian on a regular basis. Having tried and tested most Indian take aways in Brighton over the last 30 years, I personally always have an excellent experience. From promt delivery, friendly staff to food always arriving hot, fresh and tasty. If you like a bit of heat to your curries they definatley deliver. Excellent value for money too and if you create an account through their website you get ongoing credits to discount your meal. Don t hesitate to try them if your looking for a great Indian take away.

Amazing food, great atmosphere. Extra points for the comedic menu descriptions 😅

Incredible service , lovely space location and interiors. The food was incredible! Best nan I have tasted in UK! I took the chef specials , I will def go back if in Brighton . Amazing portions too! Good price for value

What a lovely restaurant and I give it 10 out of 10 for service, atmosphere and food. Vegetarian Thali was excellent and lassi a must. We finished off with cheesecake. As a visitor to Brighton, this lovely restaurant will be our first choice. Thank you so much for a lovely experience 😀

Vel tiene el galardón de ofrecerme uno de los currys más sabrosos que he probado: el tiffin sambar. Cuando se combinaba con arroz con limón, esto era una sensación de sabor. También es recomendable el gobi manchurian, uno de mis platos favoritos; pero, de nuevo, Vel definitivamente tiene la mejor iteración de ese plato. Hay muchas opciones, y si he tenido un pequeño comentario, es que el menú puede ser abrumador, ya que no hay descripciones para cada plato para describir lo que está recibiendo. PERO eso también te anima a hablar con el encantador personal sobre tus gustos, y lo que cada plato ofrece en términos de perfil de sabor. No solo eso, sino que es una ganga. Hazte un favor y visita a Vel para una comida increíblemente sabrosa.

I've been using this take away for about 5 years now but feel compelled to leave a review. This is one of the best curry takeaways in my area (Fiveways, Brighton) however the prices are rising, portions getting smaller with barely enough meat for a child let alone a hungry adult, the sag aloo (spinach and potato) barely half filled the small tin foil tray and they have started charging for minor substitutions even though the items swapped are the same price EG asking for a naan instead or rice (both £3). They charge £1 extra per swap The bags of salad and onion are much smaller now and they are charging for chutneys / mint sauce which used to be FOC. So in short it's just not worth the £££.
