We came here for dinner before a show having only just learned about it online. Manjus is exclusively vegetarian (as is most authentic Indian cuisine), and whilst we are not vegetarian we thought we couldn't pass up a chance to come here after seeing the reviews. We chose 3 small plates and 2 small curries and all I can say is wow!!!These dishes are spectacular, and like no Indian food I've ever eaten here in the UK. Every dish has a plethora of flavours, a taste sensation - they are true culinary masterpieces! You can tell that so much love is spilled into them food. You can see it in the presentation, taste it in the flavour, and feel it in the atmosphere of the restaurant. All of the staff (family members) are extremely proud of what they do and it is so refreshing to see!We enjoyed absolutely everything we tried and walked away stuffed! Well done Manjus. We'll be back again for lunch!Dear NivanaMee,Thank you so much for the wonderful review!Manju's is our passion, we love our little restaurant to bits. It's fantastic our love and passion comes across to our guests- your comments makes the whole team try even harder so thank you!We'd love for you to join us for lunch, hope to see you soon.Thank you,RegardsManju's

It's an Indian restaurant with a different style of cooking, everything is freshly prepared on a day to day to maintain a quality and taste.

Dinner on Friday night at Bayleaf in St James Street was a disappointing affair.Our waiter looked like heâd rather be somewhere else & got our poppadom order wrong - he brought us 2 instead of the 4 we ordered.Not a great start.The other waiters were quite smiley - just ours was having a bad day.Food arrived - chicken madras, vegetable dhansak, garlic naan & pilau rice.Very average.My vegetable dansak was Not full of flavour, nor hot & sour- more like a mildly spicy vegetable stew- but the only vegetables were potatoes & cauliflower.Disappointing really.Wonât rush back

Planet India is a delicious Indian restaurant in Brighton near the base of Hanover hill. It offers superb home-style vegetarian Indian dishes and a range of craft and unusual beers.Planet India never really seems to be open but is actually accessible 6 days a week though not for long of an evening. It seems to be quite well known despite the tucked away location set back from the road. The outside is not the best with a slightly garish signage. All that belies what is surprisingly a magnificent place to eat.Inside the decor is a bit odd with lots of iconography of people like Bob Marley and references to his smoking habits. The music is similar and doesn't really seem to fit with the ambience or the tasty food.Service is fine. Not especially engaging but with good attention and food arriving in decent time. The range of beers is surprisingly good. All sorts of styles are catered for with a seeming preference for bottles from a Scottish provider. A heather beer went down really well.The food is fabulous. It has to be said that this is high quality eating. The food here is not at all the standard Indian fare but really excellent and well crafted spice combinations with terrific layering.Simple things like samosa are homemade style rather than the mass produced rubbish. Really well cooked and nice taste. The Dhal Bhel Puri is amazing. It has a combination of both flavour and texture that makes every mouthful delicious. Well worth its reputation.For a main course main options look good but the Mombai Potato Curry is a decent way to go. The curry has plenty of coconut milk in it but is still flavoursome and spicy. Not hot in a traditional Bombay Potato style but layered and meaningful. Rice portions are oversized so not necessarily one per person. Poppadoms are ok though the mango chutney is a winner. Price is reasonable for this level of quality with the meal clocking in around £20 per head. For all the creative and excellent vegetarian eateries in Brighton, Planet India is one not to miss. It is a remarkably good curry house serving up delicious home/street style food.

Situated in the bustling lanes, snuggled between terre a terre and toni and guy. A beautiful victorian building with high ceilings and original features. Adorned with indian street images and candlelit walls, you are sure to enjoy your experience here

We went for dinner on a Tuesday night and were surprised at how busy it was - a testament to the good food!!!The staff were all very attentive and helpful. Theyâd obviously actually tried the dishes on the menu and made recommendations as to what their favourites were.The food was all excellent and the portions generous without being too overwhelming. We were pleased we went with the staff recommendations since those were our favourite dishes.Lots of vegetarian options which is always great.Weâll definitely go back!Thank you so much for your review it really does means a lot to us, thank you again x

Curry Leaf Cafe is a delightful south Indian street food style cafe that is well worth a visit if you find yourself in the Kemptown area.I ordered a Mughlai Chicken Biriyani made with slow cooked chicken thigh, basmati rice, coconut milk, tomatoes, onions, garlic , sultanas and spices and topped with a boiled egg. It was on the menu as medium spicy but it had a real kick. It also came with mini popadums and vegetable pickle raita. I have to say it was absolutely delicious. When I was there the restaurant was full of Asians and Chinese so that says a lot. The hosts were English and were very welcoming. The cooks were all from India and it is possible to watch them cook from your table which is nice. It really adds to the street food atmosphere. Would love to go back again and try some other dishes as this restaurant has clearly got some talented chefs. The food was not particularly over priced either. I paid £12 for my meal. Easily one of the best meals I have had in Brighton thus far. Thanks for taking the time to give feedback, always great to hear from new customers.Hope to see you again soon,Euan
