The Curry Leaf Cafe

For quite some time now The Curry Leaf Café has been synonymous with great South Indian street life in the heart of Brighton’s lanes, using the finest ingredients: free-range chicken, locally sourced meats, fish and vegetables, and organic salad. The restaurant on Ship St certainly is in a class of its own taste- and quality-wise and has left a legacy among the growing base of satisfied customers. Try their wonderful four-course meal and wash it down with a range of draft beers. And please do come for the afternoon tea, which takes place in a relaxing and friendly atmosphere.

Make no mistake: The Curry Leaf Café on Ship St is not your average Indian Restaurant. Quite the contrary, The Curry Leaf Café in Brighton stands for clever South Indian street-style dishes that you’re hard-pressed to find anywhere else, let alone in Brighton. Do yourself a favour and go for their quick and healthy lunch and experience the rich and one-of-a-kind flavour of a far-away country. Come and enjoy meals composed of only the freshest seasonal ingredients, while spiced Indian brunches are served on Sundays from 10:30am to 3:30pm, and a collection-only takeaway service is offered during less busy periods. And head chef Kanthi Kiran Thamma from Hyderabad has run up one impressive resumé, taking him to being the Senior Chef de Partie at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay and being Jamie Oliver’s Food Champion – among other successes.

Striving to always match the taste with the presentation of the food, you’ll be presented with wonderfully composed and decorated plates. The restaurant on Ship St itself mirrors the image of a modern and raw food place where taste is king, greeting you in an airy and inspiring atmosphere. We can’t say enough nice things about The Curry Leaf’s choice of dishes: whether you go for grilled dishes like or vegetarian options, look no further. This is one unique dining experience you can’t allow yourself to miss out on.
