Book a table at Indian Summer
The first thing you notice when walking through the doors of Indian Summer is that everything is authentic, from the warm welcome from long-running manager, Tim to the menu which is based largely on founder Byron's meals whilst growing up.
Fine Indian cuisine - Indian Summer Brighton
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.
