We've been wanting to eat here for a while and had high expectations. We weren't disappointed.
The food is fabulous - full of complex flavors and textures. The service is exceptional - friendly with lots of information about the dishes and the history of the restaurant - which is quite remarkable (check out their website).
It really is a family restaurant (three generations work there at the weekend) where you feel the 'love' of the family for each other and their food. A real privilege to be part of for an evening.
Amazing Indian vegetarian restaurant. I would recommend going as a group of 4 and then you can try one of everything on the menu, however you will be very full afterwards.
They brought each dish us one by one and explained the food to us. All of it was very delicious. We were too full for dessert but it did look fantastic.
Hard to get a rez at Manju’s and it’s clear why. Brighton has a wide array of great Indian Restaurants but this has immediately become one of my favourites.
We had a convo last night about how a good vegetarian restaurant barely needs to mention it’s vegetarian. It’s good regardless and this is such a case. Put it toe to toe with a meaty curry and it’s still probably coming out on top.
The chutneys are the best I’ve ever had too, you NEED the papad.
Booked a table for 4 people last Saturday. I’ve been wanting to visit this restaurant for so long and finally did! When we arrived, the restaurant was full and everyone was seated with lots of smiling faces and laughter filled the place … Good start … It’s a small but not cramped restaurant the decor is warming.
We were met and sat at our table the owner explained the menu and how much to order. We ordered wine and the food. All the dishes came out a few at a time so you are not overwhelmed.
The flavours are so delicious… Some delicately done but still punchy at the same time. We all enjoyed the tasty food we ordered… Just amazing flavours. I’m not a vegetarian and I didn’t miss the meat at all.
I would definitely visit again.
Manju's is in my top 3 favourite restaurants worldwide. This time we were a group of 4 and ordered the entire menu - who's bucket list is this not on? Everything, and I mean everything was a flavour explosion. Each dish was different and unique with multiple stand outs for everyones tastes whilst all being tasty I'm not sure how its even possible. This isn't even related to what us Brits call an Indian meal, this is on a whole higher level. I'm a big meat eater and never miss meat coming here. Such a great restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere, friendly staff and a great story. I wish we lived closer so we could go every week! As I said we ordered the menu plus 2 drinks each split between 4 totalled £150 (37.50 each) and we were all STUFFED! The drink selections are mostly local beers and a varied wine list amongst cocktails. Something for everyone, all good quality. This is what every dining experience should be like - but only Manju's does it this good!
Have been waiting to dine here after seeing various posts in a Vegan dining group. It is a small cosy place with a great decor. It feels like you're just visiting friends for a meal. The service was superb and felt very natural. Food was absolutely amazing with so many layers of flavours. They have got a great approach to their business and it is obviously working based on the reviews and a packed restaurant. I for one will definitely be coming back here. Thanks for a great meal and thanks for making us feel so welcome. 10/10
We came here for the special Christmas eve Roti service after hearing so many amazing things about the food and service.
Although it was a set menu it didn't matter, it was a great snapshot of how amazing this place is. A real gem amongst the plethora of Indian restaurants in Brighton and Hove.
The food was top notch, clearly so much attention to detail to each element of the dishes and all top quality ingredients used as well.
The service was fantastic and a huge part of what makes eating here so special. We cannot wait to come back and sample the rest of the menu.
Thank you Manju's for an incredible and tasty dining experience.
Amazing food and service. We will definitely return
Been meaning to come here for a while. I had very high expectations, based not only on the online reviews but also on what my friends had told me. I wasn't disappointed! The food is wonderful, absolutely delicious. I had a couple of favourite Indian restaurants in Brighton, but this one has now beaten the lot by miles!
We ordered almost the entire menu and to be honest there were 2 stand out dishes and the rest were avg. So don't let yourself be pressured into ordering the recommended 3 starters and 2 mains per person, it's simply too much food. The samoosa chaat and SESAME TIKKI were incredible, the chilli paneer was a big let down because the paneer wasn't crispy as was the spinach and onion bahji which were dense. The curries and courgette dish were avg. There was another dish with puffed rice which is the third dish I would order if ordering only 3 starters per person which I think is the right amount of food. Don't let this dissuade you, some of food at Manju's is out of this world and for that food I would definitely return.
