Boom! Bird - (Near East Sussex, South East)

Michaela North First time visiting today for lunch! Food was sensational, as was the service and decor. £5.70 for two bottles of Schweppes soda water for our wine was a little shock on the bill, I feel you could purchase soda siphons or a soda stream to offer this to guests at a lower price…baring in mind it is free in most establishments. Constructive, as we had a lush lunch with you regardless.

Sarah-Jane Pearson This is unshamelessly the best restaurant I have dined in near Hastings. It is the epitome of excellence. From getting out of your car to getting back in again is a beautiful journey of decadence. I had the most exquisite lunch on the beautiful patio served by a wonderful young lady. This is truely a family run business with a wonderful passion and commitment to excellence. You will most definitely go away with a smile dining here. Just perfect.

Ela Gorla Vel is one of my favourite restaurants in Brighton and one of the best South Indian restaurants I ever tried. I spent 5 months in South India in 2024 so when I moved to Brighton I was desperate to find a place where I could enjoy authentic South Indian food and I’m thrilled I discovered Vel. The food tastes exactly like the food I used to eat in India and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for true Indian flavours.

Ilke Kartal We popped into Tun Tun’s on Monday for their free student curry and I’m officially hooked. The staff were so friendly – the moment we walked in they greeted us with big smiles and asked whether we’d like veg, vegan, or meat. I went for the chicken curry, and it was still piping hot by the time we got home. Considering it was completely free, it was absolutely delicious – generous portions, loads of chicken and lentils, and packed with flavour. Exactly what I needed on a gloomy Monday evening. I’ll definitely be going back to try more, especially since they also do a £5 student deal. Edit: We did end up going back to try the £50 mega thali, and it was incredible. We also ordered two mango lassi – smooth, sweet, refreshing, and perfect alongside the spicy dishes. The fish curry was light and fragrant, and the pastries were unreal, especially the sweet coconut pathi. The chana daal was comforting, and both the aubergine pakora and onion bhaji were delicious. The chutneys that came with everything were amazing too – a perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy. I’ll definitely be returning, and next time I’m bringing friends!

CJ HADDEN Really amazing experience. Me and my lovely girlfriend were celebrating our anniversary and wanted somewhere to have our first seafood boil and this place came highly recommended. From the moment we came through the door to the moment we left the service was exceptional and well above what we were expecting. They were friendly informative and made us feel very welcome. The food was second to none and absolutely gorgeous that even though it was huge portions we wanted to battle through it was that good. Definitely coming back soon and couldn’t recommend highly enough

Jessica Vinson We came here for Valentine’s Day with the valentines set menu (3 courses and a coffee for £30) and had an amazing time. There were warm and attentive servers who checked in with us on multiple occasions. Every course was brilliant! There was a cozy, intimate atmosphere. I would highly recommend this family owned business!
