What a pickle 22nd September 2008

The chili pickle, on meeting house lane offers a really different, well presented menu. The service, has been good also. I have been once with a friend during the evening, twice for lunch and the menu changes depending on whether you visit during the day or evening. The evening menu has quite a few starters and main courses. My friend had the mussell pot as a starter and enjoyed it. A lot of thought has gone into choosing the menu. The selection of authentic Indian desserts, are worth a try too. The poussin whole tandoori massala, is great. On the lunchtime menu the crispy pork wrapped vindaloo, which my lunch date ordered was a winner.

Indian with a difference 22nd September 2008

This place recently opened in Brighton's famous Lanes. I popped in on Sunday and sampled their lunch menu, which is headed 'Street Food'. I have always loved street food from India so I was expecting a treat. We shared delicious Dal fritters, crispy onion and cabbage pakoras, an utthapam, some lovely, puffy pooris with a delicious potato dish in a creamy sauce. My other half also tried a salmon dish which she declared wonderful (I am vegetarian).

All the wonderful dishes mentioned above came with a wonderful selection of dips and sauces which were fantastic - a delightful sambar, a delicious rasam, an amazing mango dip and some coconut/coriander yoghurt. All faultless. This place is a very welcome addition to Brighton's eateries and definitely deserves a visit. I will be going back soon to try their dinner menu in the evening.

Highly recommended.
