Indian Summer has recently relocated to their new premises. Situated next door to their old premises, they are now at 70 East Street. The first thing you notice when walking through the doors is that everything is authentic, from the warm welcome from long-running manager, Tim to the menu which is based largely on Founder Minesh’s meals whilst growing up in Gujarat, west India.

Fine Indian cuisine

Ideally positioned in central Brighton in The Lanes, Indian Summer is brought to you by Byron Swales and has had a great reputation in the Brighton restaurant scene for over fifteen years.

Born because of their mutual passion for Indian food..

.. Indian Summer was born because Brighton really was lacking a great Indian restaurant going back a few years. Now there is much more competition.

A real Indian food experience

Beautiful décor, slightly subdued lighting and friendly knowledgeable service will be the order of the evening as Indian Summer wine and dine you in boutique inspired surroundings.

Offering street food treats such as masala dosas and bhel puris – plus the combination of Minesh’s/ Byron’s family recipes, Indian Summer offers a modern take on an Indian restaurant all served in an elegant and ‘fine dining’ style.

What’s on the menu?

Here you won’t find that Indian dishes which have been changed for a British palette, instead you will find popular Indian dishes fused from around the country, plus, at the same time the restaurant provides extensive gluten and dairy free dishes which is in keeping with menu choices in India. Menu items are easily adapted for those with dietary requirements which is a real bonus.

Have a look at their menu page to find information about their lunch, dinner, dessert and wine menu – along with their delivery options.

Indian Summer is also a great option for a Sunday lunch and you can find more information on the Restaurants Brighton Sunday options page.

The friendliest restaurant in town? Tim does a great job running the floor and always has a cheery smile for us when we go in. Love the modern Indian style of food and innovative dishes. Really great central location near the beach and the Lanes.
