Indian Summer

I have been meaning to go to this restuarant after hiring them for a Curry Night at our Customer open evening at C Dugard Machine Tools in Hove about 3 years ago. The food then was brilliant for an outside catering event. Well we took friends to the Brighton restaurant last night 21st August. I was a bit worried because I had built it up a bit. We expected Excellence, but it was better than that. The Staff were attentive without being overpowering. The atmosphere was brilliant. The food was fantastic. We all had a problem reading the menu because the text is a bit small, by that gave our waiter the opportunity of explaining the structure of the presentation of the food and the history of the Restaurant. Enough of my thoughts, If you like good food and you don't want to be rushed out to make way for other diners go there. We arrived at 8.00 and left at 11.15 and we will all go back. But I will be taking other friend next time, when you find a place like this you have to show it off to as many people as you can. Sorry Nigel and Catherine.

Absolutely wonderful - stumbled accidentally across Indian Summer tonight, got in thanks to a cancellation, and what a meal! Service friendly and unpretentious, food excellent quality without being overly fussy or artificially wacky, portions just generous enough, wine list nice and varied. The espresso cheesecake (served in edible chocolate teacups) was particularly good. Can't comment on whether it's value for money by local standards, but compared to London prices it's a bargain.

Four of us went here after completing the London to Brighton bike ride last Sunday. It could have been the euphoria of completing the event, or the fact that I was really, really ready to eat, but I have to say this was not only one of the best Indian meals I've ever eaten - it was one of the best meals of any type I've ever eaten.

The decor is smart but still relaxed, the staff were friendly but not intrusive, and the food and wine were all outstanding. It came to about £40 a head for starter, main course and (phenomenal) chocolate cheesecake, with wine and liquers, which isn't the cheapest curry I've ever had. But it was definitely the best value.

I'd cycle all the way to Brighton again just for another meal here!

Eating at Indian Summer was A superb experience, with lovely touches to the service at every stage & an exquisite menu. Portions are perfectly sized to leave you satisfied, but not bloated.

We will most definitely be back!
