Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
As the name implies, classic kebab takeaway that I had delivered. Some points off for lower quality chicken nuggets, but overall a winner as still hot when delivered plus had a cheese gozleme flatbread thing which was really great.
Verdict: Awesome

Perfectly serviceable burger/chicken takeaway outfit, but nothing more – average across the board, although it was hot!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 3 Islingword Road
Tried delivery from here during quarantine. They pitch their burgers as fancy and one day I’ll try one in the restaurant, but had takeaway chicken nuggets, chips and cheese bites and while the latter were great, the former were low quality product.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 8 East Street
Tried this pan-Asian noodle focused place during quarantine, and while it had good spring rolls, the Pad Thai was just average; won’t be in rotation for us.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 12a Queens Road
Stopped in for a drink, and it’s a surprisingly large, pleasant space. Food looked good too.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 36 Ship Street
Specialist steakhouse with lots of options for sauce, sides etc. Comfortable space with a family restaurant feel and nice people; we shared a platter with several different cuts and their “famous” onion loaf, which is delicious. Desserts too. But when I think back to the steak, I’m not excited.
Verdict: Ok

Amazingly fun little place with 80s nostalgia everywhere – posters, toys, even Super Nintendos to play at your tables. I wanted to love it, but unfortunately the pie was just ok.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 41 Meeting House Lane
The newest addition to the Gingerman Group is a small number with most of the seating at the bar or on stools looking out the window. Small plate type deal; really enjoyed chicken schnitzel and mushroom tempura, and service was impeccable. Food pricing pretty great too. Two reasons it’s not awesome: first, the wine list only has a couple of wines under £30 for red and white; there’s no reason to have to pay £40 for a Malbec (in fairness the food costs balance this a bit!). Most importantly, no reservations. We happened to be nearby so gave it a go but normally I won’t even bother.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 13 Hanningtons Lane
Another dessert restaurant with cookie dough, crepes, waffles, shakes and piles of ice cream flavours. Brightly lit, pleasant, and tasty.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 123-124 Western Road
Alleged Italian, although you wouldn’t particularly know it from the menu; this is for info and not a bad thing at all. Small (like what, 20 covers?) and personable place with just amazing food at really good prices. Had amazing beef croquettes, cod dumplings, confit pork, beautiful chips, great desserts – really punches massively above its prices.
Verdict: Awesome
