25 years of serving some of Brighton’s favourite Indian food, and now @indiansummerbrighton have launched a brand new food and cocktail menu that I couldn’t wait to try
And wow… they absolutely delivered. The cocktails are curated by an incredibly experienced mixologist who’s worked at some of Brighton’s best cocktail spots, and you can really taste the quality and creativity in every drink. A huge shoutout to the Lychee Luxe, made with tequila, lychee liqueur, cream liqueur, strawberries & lemon, smooth, fruity and seriously delicious. And of course I had to try the Hot Honey Marg, my current favourite cocktail trend, and this one was made perfectly 🔥
We went for the Indian Summer Experience, a sharing starter and main designed to showcase a range of dishes from the menu, honestly the best way to try a bit of everything. The starters arrived on the cutest afternoon tea style tower featuring Onion Bhaji, Tandoori Paneer, Samosa Chaat, Chicken Tikka, Indian salad & chutneys. Such a fun presentation and every bite was packed with flavour. Then came the main sharing tray… and it was seriously impressive. Six different curries, huge portions and so much flavour throughout. My standout was the Lamb Rogan Josh, a classic done exactly right 👌
Even though we were completely full, we were convinced to try the new White Chocolate Pistachio ice cream dessert alongside their twist on an espresso martini, the Espresso Chia-Tini and I’m very glad we did because both were incredible. The perfect way to finish the evening
Overall, such a great experience. Friendly staff, vibrant atmosphere, amazing cocktails and delicious food throughout. A must visit in Brighton if you haven’t been already ❤️
