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.

2023 Review: “Never disappoints” say regulars at this popular destination, near Shoreham Beach, where “the menu is predominantly fish dishes”. “It’s our local. We love this place and highly recommend it. Choose the specials!”.
