Indian Summer
Indian Summer prides itself on providing a fine-dining experience, high-quality ingredients and meals worth the extra cost. Indian Summer describes its menu as "a unique blend of Indian and European cuisine." Many entrees, such as the Murgh Angoori and the Baingan Doodhi Dallsa, include dairy-free and gluten-free options. The Food Standards Agency gives Indian Summer five stars for food hygiene--the only Indian restaurant in Brighton to have achieved this distinction.

Bombay Aloo Mix
For those with large stomachs and small wallets, Bombay Aloo Mix provides a buffet-style meal for a great value. The selection includes all of the standard dishes--curry chicken, lamb, naan and bhajies. Although the ambience and service have been rated as mediocre by some patrons, £8.50 for an entrée (in 2009) is hard to beat! Arrive earlier in the evening to avoid the crowds.

The Chilli Pickle
If you are searching for authentic Indian cuisine as opposed to its British variant, the Chilli Pickle serves unique dishes in a great atmosphere. Tucked away in the midst of boutique shops in South Lanes, this hidden gem is easy to overlook. However, several customers have lauded it as a place where quality meets affordability, reminding potential customers that "fortune favors the brave" here.
