The Chilli Pickle

The Chilli Pickle We are a nationally-acclaimed regional Indian restaurant in the heart of Brighton. We're passionate about Indian culture, local produce and traditional methods.
(1978)

Having worked abroad for several years, husband & wife team Alun and Dawn Sperring returned to Brighton to find it in the grip of an enthusiasm for Indian food. They found the perfect spot in the cobbled lanes amongst the jewellery and antique shops of Meeting House Lane. The Chilli Pickle gradually but inexorably gained its reputation through word of mouth. As guests returned again and again, we

knew that Brighton was ready for an authentic but distinctive experience of Indian cuisine. We gathered together an expert team of chefs with specialisms in a variety of Indian regional cuisines, and our own style became increasingly defined. After two and a half years at Meeting House Lane an unmissable opportunity came our way: a move underneath My Hotel. We're now an established presence on the Brighton culinary trail, but we haven't lost the drive to surprise you with new flavours, now approaching our 10 year anniversary we are very proud of what we have achieved.

It is HOT.

There’s something about summer at The Chilli Pickle that we always look forward to 🌞

The terrace turns into a bit of a sun trap, the cocktails get fruitier, the desserts get colder, and suddenly a lunch or dinner here feels a little bit like being on holiday.

This summer we’ve got Banana Daiquiris and Jaipur Spritzes coming out of the bar, Coconut Kulfi and Chilli Glazed Pineapple on the menu, plus a collab with the brilliant Boho Gelato.

Come and spend some sunny afternoons and warm evenings with us 🌶️

Another reason to visit The Chilli Pickle -
Tandoori Chicken & Chips for £18.

Half tandoori chicken, pot of tikka gravy and Gunpowder fries or House salad. Listen to that sizzle 🌶️

Available everyday. You can also get it at a certain Chicken restaurant that recently opened their 500th site. Well you can be the judge…

Smoked Bone Marrow Naan - rich, smoky bone marrow melting into warm herby naan.

Buttery, soft, messy in the best way, a dish that has everyone reaching back in for one more piece. Definitely not one to leave behind 🌶️
