Indian Summer

One of my favourite Indian restaurants has just raised the bar once again

If you haven’t been to @indiansummerbrighton yet, you’re seriously missing out. An iconic Brighton restaurant that’s been serving incredible food for over 25 years, and somehow it just keeps getting better. Their brand new menu is easily one of their strongest yet, and we loved getting the chance to try some of the new dishes

The standout for me had to be The Sizzler, a feast of Beef Short Rib, Tandoori Chicken, Pork Ribs and Paneer Tikka. Every element was packed with flavour, perfectly cooked and served sizzling hot. An absolute must order! Another highlight was the Falls Off The Bone Portuguese Beef Rib, a slow-cooked beef flat rib marinated in aromatic Indo-Portuguese spices, cooked until beautifully tender and served with rice. I loved the fusion of Indian and Portuguese flavours; it’s something completely different and it worked so well… And with the Bombay Cheese Chilli Naan... freshly baked, loaded with melted cheddar, mozzarella, peppers and green chillies. Rich, indulgent and with just the right kick of spice. I could happily order one all to myself!

We were also delighted to see Jubel on the drinks menu. Thanks to @rosieposiebtn for introducing us to these recently, they’re quickly becoming one of our favourite beers and paired perfectly with the meal. To finish? An incredibly indulgent cheesecake that rounded off a fantastic evening

Every visit to Indian Summer leaves us completely stuffed, but already planning our next trip. The team are always so welcoming and attentive, and it’s clear the chefs have a real passion for creating innovative, flavour packed dishes

If you’re looking for one of Brighton’s best Indian dining experiences, this is a must visit. We can’t wait to come back and work our way through more of the new menu!
