We had delivery which was super fast, and very good value. Tasty too, with the one proviso that everything was spicier than expected – even green curry!
Verdict: Awesome

China China
Classic excellent Chinese restaurant – not much to speak of re decor, but comfortable, with an enormous tasty menu at bargain prices. Peking duck especially good.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 33-35 Preston Street
Bar-BQ Shack at The World’s End
Food concession in the pub, with a promising menu of proper BBQ classics. I tried to go – twice – but you seem to have to win the lottery to actually get any of it. First time they were not running for unspecified reasons, and today none of the proper BBQ plates were on due to staff issues. Sandwiches were on but honestly the Pitmaster sandwich with brisket and sausage was just average. Cheeseburger pretty ok though. Overall, not worth the trouble really.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 60-61 London Road

The World’s End
This pub has some things going for it, in terms of space and beer selection, but it’s otherwise deeply average with extremely basic furniture and generally not much atmosphere to call it out.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 60-61 London Road
Eastern Eye
It doesn’t seem promising – its website is garbage and the exterior looks budget. But that is totally wrong, this is one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to. Not dramatically original inside but clean, spacious, and friendly, and with a really interesting and varied menu. Mysore chilli chicken really special, and lamb rogan josh extremely excellent. All for very affordable pricing.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 58 London Road
Burgers & Cocktails
Chain this one, but pretty nice inside, lots of room! I enjoyed my brunch burger and thought the fries were excellent, but chicken burger a bit uninspired and the service, frankly, very annoying, so points off. Happy hour bargains though including half price beers!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 15 North Road
Fatto a Mano
Neapolitan pizza, renowned in Brighton and Hove but honestly, only ok. Pizza pretty good, but Brighton is lousy with top flight Neapolitan pizzerias. Cheap, yes, but the place is small, hot, and pretty plain. Basically, you’ll have a pretty solid meal but much better to be had.
Edit 25/3/20: Had a delivery from these guys and it was amazing, so just get delivery!
Verdict: Ok / Edit: Awesome
Location: 77 London Road
The Grand
Old-school grandeur hotel. This review is for the hotel bar, and it’s great. Big and vaulted but cosy in its way, easy to get service even on a Saturday night. You pay a bit for that, but great place for a very relaxed drink.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 97-99 King’s Road
Gingerman
Father of the Ginger family, and surprisingly small – but in a great way. Short, ever-changing menu with a choice of 2 or 3 courses with 5 or so options in each. Went as a group of five so tried lots and everything apart from 1 dessert was rock solid – super inventive and interesting, really tasty. And, all up, a very good price and top notch service.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 21A Norfolk Square
Cloud 9
Cute little place for coffee and cake (or ice cream or a shake) – highly recommend rainbow cake! Be aware that it is ONLY dessert-y things – brownies as well – but they are delicious.
Verdict: Awesome
