Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Deliveroo Editions of a brand I’ve heard of but never had. Had one of their preconfigured grilled chicken burritos, and I really enjoyed that it was a bit different – chargrilled flavour. Good chips and guac too. Not my favourite burrito, but worth a go for sure.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: Unit 1, Saxon Works, Olive Road

Only tried one thing: a 12″ garlic and mozzarella pizza bread. And it was quite expensive, but so so worth it.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 36 Preston Road
Proper dirty curry takeaway; everything was delicious because it was very bad for us. Have to not eat too much to avoid having it sit inside you for a long time, but that’s not its fault!
Verdict: Awesome

Had Deliveroo of this Lebanese restaurant, and it was really great. The mezze platter was massive and came on a proper separated tray, and my grilled chicken was fresh and flavourful. Not the cheapest for this sort of cuisine but worth it.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 107 Western Road
Tricky, as I didn’t have much standard Chinese stuff. I had chips, which were excellent actually, and wontons, which had way too much pastry to filling. Then I had a combination salt and pepper – chicken, squid, king prawn & ribs. The chicken was amazing, the squid and ribs chewy and boring, and there was one thing I’m not sure what it was. So on balance not a great choice.
Verdict: Ok

Delivery only place, I tried pancetta mac with a free cheesy garlic bread. And I enjoyed it, I guess, the garlic bread was cheesy but not very garlicy, the mac I feel would be pretty great fresh in a restaurant but it was kind of half and half delicious and just ok, hence the verdict.
Verdict: Ok

Struggled with this one. Brighton outpost of a Vietnamese chain, reasonably priced stuff. Pork spring rolls amazing (because stuffed with pork!) and summer rolls and noodles nice. But my spicy brisket pho was pretty poor – just like spicy oil and little flavour. Probably worth another go.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 12 Black Lion St
Excellent Thai takeaway, coming in Chinese takeout style boxes with plenty of meat, and well priced.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 40 St George’s Road
Deliveroo Editions of what is a chain of gyros/souvlaki places. Interestingly their own locations seem to charge quite a bit less, but for me these were just fine – a little dry – and way too expensive for the size.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: Unit 1, Saxon Works, Olive Road
Highly rated London outfit, and maybe it loses something in the delivery but I thought it was just ok really. Had two lots of wingz, sticky BBQ and buffalo, BBQ pretty nice but buffalo underwhelming; they have a sugarcane “bone” which is like the dumbest thing I ever heard of – why would you add that?!?! Dirty fries were cinnamony but light on everything else. Would be “ok” but seriously expensive, two wingz are £6, double that and another £6 for a meal, it’s crazy.
Verdict: Don’t go
