Harden's says

Brighton's first branch of Dishoom is also the first in the group to have its own name, a reference to the first legal drinking dens in 60s and 70s Bombay. All the Dishoom classics are on the menu, along with some new snacks, curries and cocktails, while the menu is veg-heavy with no red meat at all.

“A great addition to Brighton” – Brighton’s first outpost of the Dishoom empire is also the first in the group to have its own name, a reference to the first legal drinking dens in 60s and 70s Bombay. It’s “a great spin on the Dishoom concept” – all the Dishoom classics are on the menu along with some new snacks, curries and cocktails, and it’s “reasonably priced” like its siblings. Interestingly, though, it’s less stratospherically well-rated than its metropolitan peers – it’s not clear whether Brighton types are more blasé than their London cousins or that it’s perceived as being slightly less awesome. Top Menu Tip – “for breakfast the chai with bun maska is amazing, as are the naan rolls and marmalade mimosas”.
