FUMI Restaurant - (Near East Sussex, london)

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!

Megan Smith Luis was the loveliest server!! He was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed! The other staff were also amazing! The food was amazing and we had the perfect galentines! 100% would come back!

Clive Griffiths Been a while since last visited this restaurant, mainly go to the one in the sovereign harbour for the view. Came in for lunch today . Atmosphere all round was pleasant , greeted by very friendly staff who quickly showed us to a table and showed us the menus. Everywhere was very clean and tidy and well presented. Went for the 2 courses for £13.99 (main & dessert) . Food was amazing with good portion sizes. Didnt have to wait to long either. Great visit really provides a calm and friendly environment to enjoy a great meal. Hopefully back soon

Sam Hesketh Had one of the most delicious meals ever, from the minute we arrived we were warmly welcomed & taken to our table. The service & food was exceptional I cannot fault it in any way. The zucchini frites was the best I’ve ever had! Light, crisp & moorish. I wish I lived nearer.
