Some of the best food I’ve had in such a long time, the flavours were so refreshing and unique! The dishes were cooked to excellence. Everything we had on the menu was delicious and Marta was a wonderful host and cook! Thank you 🙏
Amazing food. Must eat in Brighton!
Friendly and kind staff. Food super tasty! Really don’t miss it! Also, make a booking or be willing to wait!!! Get the mandazi and kulfi for dessert! It’s stunning.
And for mains get the kahai chicken, the white fish, and the okra! They were great great great. Amazing quality and flavours.
Incredible
Can’t recommend this place enough! HYPED
We paid £70 for 2 starters, 3 mains, 1 beer (local - very good), and 1 dessert.
We were 3 of us, and shared everything!
So so so so so good.
Visited in May 2022. Came with some friends and that's probably the best idea as you can try most of the dishes on the menu.
Everything was tasty and we ended up quite full.
Portions could be a bit bigger but they are definitely not small.
Can't remember how much we paid but it felt a good value for money.
I wouldn't go again before trying another place but I would definitely recommend people to go and try it.
You might need an adventurous pallet for some of the dishes as it is not strictly speaking a traditional cuisine.
I can’t say enough good things about Kitgum. We had 5 dishes, all were absolutely delicious. The fried cauliflower was over the top. Yum. The staff were friendly and attentive, and we were fortunate enough to meet the owner and his family who were delightful.
Amazing place, delicious food - there were four of us and as it’s sharing plates we were able to try basically everything on the menu which was a dream!! All the staff were so lovely and we spoke to the owner who was so welcoming and clearly passionate about providing excellent food and service to customers. We booked so were able to be seated right away, there are only 6 tables inside so not sure what it would be like for walk ins. Might be worth phoning ahead. Support this local business it is amazing!
Amazing place, I got the Vegan taster menu and it was amazing! everything was so flavoursome and well made with high quality ingredients. The food is just incredible. Beautiful decor, clean and amazing atmosphere. Staff are super helpful and friendly! definitely recommend 👍🏻👍🏻
Firstly, the taste of the food is the main attraction here. Can't fault that. Nice spice combinations, simple presentation - just delicious. When I visited, there were only 12 dishes on the menu, which made things easy!
However, the portions are small and expensive. Six small wings for a tenner, a curry main course which is around the third of the size of one you'd get in an Indian restaurant is £14. Staff are lovely but conditions in the restaurant are cramped - more like a greasy spoon than a restaurant. I sat back to back with another diner.
Meal for two was around £108 - it would've been £122 but I noticed that we were overcharged on the.
Definitely worth trying but not more than once for me - an expensive night out fotr what you're getting.
We had a lovely time here and enjoyed all of the different flavours of the foods. We were served by the chef wearing chilli ear rings who had the most welcoming smile and was so attentive and friendly. It made the whole experience!! The wines and beers were also so delicious.
Incredible African cuisine, never had it before and I can confirm the flavours are insane! It's a great place to share a number of plates with a small group, trust me you'll want to try everything on the menu anyway, so this is perfect! The waitress was also super friendly. 100% recommend all the dishes I had, which were -
Cauliflowers don't have wings - the texture and flavour is something else
Mogo chips
Ringna bateta nu shaak
Grilled masala fish
Lamb kalio
Mandazi Kulfi - donuts for desert
Nice concept, the history behind this restaurant is lovely. Food was delicious, small plates style of food, i personally never know how to order, i always end up with too much or not enough, but that is my personal problem. Service was kind but a bit rush. Been a small restaurant pay a bit the covid-19 situation and restrictions. Hope all the best.
Lovely little restaurant, we ate a wide variety of small plates and all were delicious (though small, ended up ordering some more as we went) staff were polite, responsive and generally nice. Would thoroughly recommend!
Amazing flavours, very tasty, beautiful colours, perfect sized shared dishes for two, we only had the veggie / vegan dishes and loved every mouthful. It is a small cosy intermate place. Music was a tad loud and I personally would have liked cushions on the chairs. Lovely staff. Shame the prices have gone up.
Really interesting menu, delicious food, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Pretty much ate everything on the menu! Our party's favourites were the cured sea trout, Kenya potatoes, and the lamb curry. Will definitely be back.
Visiting Brighton from the North West due to visiting family. Booked this restaurant online, which was easy. Decided we wanted to try something different and this caught our eye online as we was browsing. 5 star reviews helped on this decision too. Was not disappointed. We loved it. We was greeted with a warm welcome by Kelly our host. She was so nice. She also helped us with what to order. And it was perfect. We ordered 3 starters between 2 then 2 curries which we shared. 1 rice and 1 chapati. Everything was so fresh, and hot. It was an infusion of wonderful flavours. The atmosphere was calming with nice back ground music. Reading the little history on the top of the menu of how the restaurant came about was interesting but also intriguing as we then wanted to know more. Fantastic evening. Thanks so much. Will definitely be back.
Kitgum is a true gem. One of those places where 5 stars isn’t enough. There’s such authenticity and love in the food (do not miss the lamb curry it’ll blow your mind and tastebuds!) The hosting and service went waaaay above and beyond expectations - we had some tricky requirements to deal with and they were just so incredibly kind and accommodating. So grateful, can’t wait to come back again. Thank you!
Been waiting to try Kitgum for ages and we weren't disappointed! We had the lamb curry, squid, potatoes and samoas 💕. The sauce with the tempura squid was epic, potatoes were lovely and the samoas had just the right amount of spices, only reason it wasn't 5 stars is that the lamb was a bit salty for me, still melt in the mouth meat though! This place is great for both a quick bit and a longer meal with mates.
Really tasty well made food, small restaurant but friendly staff and nice place to eat.
Couple of other reviews stating food was expensive and I think maybe one or two dishes were a bit overpriced but most ok.
My issue was the food is served as it's ready, which is common these days, but the rice and bread came at the end when we had eaten all the dishes we needed the rice for.
And £6.50 for a can of beer is annoying
Great tasting food, small venue so worth booking a table. Small portions so slightly overpriced for what you get. Still worth a visit for the unique fusion of East African and Asian flavours.
Had an amazing birthday lunch here today. Lovely staff, amazing food, and a great story behind the restaurant! Will definitely be returning, if northing else, to try the rest of the options on the menu!
