Why you’ll like Chilli
Chilli Brighton is the latest addition to the city’s dynamic culinary scene, opening late 2024 in the heart of Brighton’s historic Lanes. This sister venue to the much-loved Chilli on Church Road in Hove, brings a fresh and vibrant approach to Thai dining. With a cosy, contemporary setting, it offers an intimate space perfect for everything from a casual lunch to a romantic Thai dinner. Inspired by the team’s travels to Thailand, Chilli Brighton and their brigade of generation Thai chefs combine authentic flavours with a creative twist, delivering a unique Thai restaurant that stands out from the crowd.
A Celebration of Authentic Thai Flavours
The menu at Chilli Brighton is a celebration of traditional Thai cuisine, offering a diverse range of dishes to satisfy every craving. Start your meal with a selection of irresistible small plates, including crispy spring rolls, flavour-packed sweetcorn fritters, zesty chilli squid, and aromatic chicken satay. For seafood lovers, prawn doughnuts and sesame prawn toast are delightful options, while vegetarians can enjoy unique creations like chilli coconut bites.
Bold Curries and Signature Dishes
Chilli Brighton’s curries are a must-try, with classics like green curry, red curry, and massaman, as well as more unique offerings such as roast duck curry with lychees and pineapple or a fiery Southern-style fish curry. The menu also features vibrant salads like spicy papaya salad and pomelo with prawns and coconut. Their best sellers are the Khao Soi and the Kao Pad Saparot – pineapple fried rice with juicy prawns, cashews and topped with pork floss…presentation and taste are both outstanding. These favourites sit alongside hearty stir-fries and signature dishes that reflect the team’s passion for thinking outside the box as they transport the dishes of Thailand to the tables of Brighton. Chilli Brighton is more than just a Thai restaurant—it’s a reflection of Thailand’s rich culinary heritage, reimagined for modern diners.
RB loves Chilli is a true taste of Thailand, we’re not talking copy and paste dishes, instead you’ll find signature dishes and rotating specials that have been inspired by visits to Thailand and eating with the locals. It’s not wonder the resident Thai community of Brighton and Hove are regulars to pick up snacks and more – a nostalgic trip back home in the heart of the lanes.
