This tiny place on the Brighton-Hove border serves a "spice-driven menu" cooked by an Ecuadorean chef.

Ecuadorian chef-owner Diego Ricaurte’s “amazing little restaurant in Brighton” (a cute 20-seater in a former take-away) offers “exciting fusion food” revolving around a long list of “lovely small plates to share”. “Fun vibe” too.

This “spectacular little place” (just 20 seats) occupies a former takeaway near the Brighton-Hove border; its “excellent menu, changed weekly”, offers an unusual “mash-up of South American and Indian cooking” courtesy of chef-owners Kanthi Thamma, who is Indian, and Diego Ricaurte, an Ecuadorian. The spice-driven venture began as a series of pop-ups, and its new bricks-and-mortar incarnation is a “a real find” by all accounts.
