We found this little gem as we were walking through the lanes, we were delighted with the attention to detail, the staff were brilliant, the food is like nothing I have had before, beautiful, my only slight tiny criticism is I felt a little rushed with the speed our food came out and felt I had to rush it and couldnât really saviour it. Maybe if you took out just a couple of tables it wouldnât feel so crowded. I would thoroughly recommend eating here if you want something a little different. Dear Elizabeth,Thank you so much for the review!We're sorry if you felt your dinner was a little rushed, the food is all cooked and sent to our guests as soon as each dish is ready! Some dishes are quite quick to cook and others take quite some time.As you know, our restaurant is tiny, we only have 9 tables so to remove a couple of tables would not be possible. We would have to increase the prices by 25% just to compensate and our aim is to provide the very best value we can.Thank you,RegardsManju's

It's an Indian restaurant with a different style of cooking, everything is freshly prepared on a day to day to maintain a quality and taste.

Dinner on Friday night at Bayleaf in St James Street was a disappointing affair.Our waiter looked like heâd rather be somewhere else & got our poppadom order wrong - he brought us 2 instead of the 4 we ordered.Not a great start.The other waiters were quite smiley - just ours was having a bad day.Food arrived - chicken madras, vegetable dhansak, garlic naan & pilau rice.Very average.My vegetable dansak was Not full of flavour, nor hot & sour- more like a mildly spicy vegetable stew- but the only vegetables were potatoes & cauliflower.Disappointing really.Wonât rush back

Situated in the bustling lanes, snuggled between terre a terre and toni and guy. A beautiful victorian building with high ceilings and original features. Adorned with indian street images and candlelit walls, you are sure to enjoy your experience here

I had been meaning to visit Indian Summer for a while. What kept me?! Bhelpuri for starters was the best take on this dish that I have eaten. To follow three of us the thalis that were on special offer in the early evening - which turned out to be delicious, and much more filling than they look on the restaurant's website. Being always interested in new things to eat I chose the water buffalo. I enjoyed lots of tender meat in a distinctive sauce, with well-cooked rice. Good professional service. Nice bottle of wine. Price reasonable with the special offer.

Planet India is a delicious Indian restaurant in Brighton near the base of Hanover hill. It offers superb home-style vegetarian Indian dishes and a range of craft and unusual beers.Planet India never really seems to be open but is actually accessible 6 days a week though not for long of an evening. It seems to be quite well known despite the tucked away location set back from the road. The outside is not the best with a slightly garish signage. All that belies what is surprisingly a magnificent place to eat.Inside the decor is a bit odd with lots of iconography of people like Bob Marley and references to his smoking habits. The music is similar and doesn't really seem to fit with the ambience or the tasty food.Service is fine. Not especially engaging but with good attention and food arriving in decent time. The range of beers is surprisingly good. All sorts of styles are catered for with a seeming preference for bottles from a Scottish provider. A heather beer went down really well.The food is fabulous. It has to be said that this is high quality eating. The food here is not at all the standard Indian fare but really excellent and well crafted spice combinations with terrific layering.Simple things like samosa are homemade style rather than the mass produced rubbish. Really well cooked and nice taste. The Dhal Bhel Puri is amazing. It has a combination of both flavour and texture that makes every mouthful delicious. Well worth its reputation.For a main course main options look good but the Mombai Potato Curry is a decent way to go. The curry has plenty of coconut milk in it but is still flavoursome and spicy. Not hot in a traditional Bombay Potato style but layered and meaningful. Rice portions are oversized so not necessarily one per person. Poppadoms are ok though the mango chutney is a winner. Price is reasonable for this level of quality with the meal clocking in around £20 per head. For all the creative and excellent vegetarian eateries in Brighton, Planet India is one not to miss. It is a remarkably good curry house serving up delicious home/street style food.
