Starfish & Coffee - (Near East Sussex, South East)

Aydin swan Absolutely gorgeous. The food was bloody delicious and the servers were really nice. Quiet, warm atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

S MW Malawi Its big, its pleasant, the toilets are clean plus its well positioned. We were debating whether its South African or Portuguese? Turns out, its the former.

Oscar Wan Great Food!!! I went with my granddaughter and the food felt authentic. Our waitress Annika is wonderfully pleasant and a great lady to have a conversation with!

Mxitrix xox Oh my god. No words. This was by far one of the best meals/experience I’ve had EVER. The service, quality of food, ambience, just level of care and detail has been just outstanding. Many thanks to Chloe for taking such good care of us throughout our night. When we are in Brighton again, we will be back!

Maria Wilkinson Just had a fabulous meal in this gem of a restaurant! The service was phenomenal from the very warm welcome the minute we walked through the door to the very sincere "Ciao, ciao" as we left. The food was absolutely fantastic too - we shared calamari fritti and arancini to start with a quattro stagioni pizza and the allo scoglio risotto for mains. There was so much seafood (mussels, clams, king prawns and langoustines) in the risotto - delicious! To finish I also had the pistachio tartufi which was the perfect end to the meal, together with a double espresso for me and an Americano for my partner. Not only is the food fabulous but its also excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

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.
