Chalk and Cheese !
Just went to my local and had a lovely German porter with braised beef cheeks and mash. The perfect post-work end of week meal for winter time.

Polpo for lunch.
Pretty good value. The fried meatballs, milanese chicken and crab linguine were excellent as were the pizzeti. Also had baby octopus, soft shell crab and a whole bunch of nibbly things Came in at £60 for 2 with a drink each. I was full and happy.

Like I say I know the Eastern Eye is popular and I was risking a backlash with my post, but I geninuely prefer the food in the Raj and think the staff really look after you.

I agree - definitely prefer the Raj, regardless of what their bogs are like.

Another recommendation on the curry front, is actually a take away rather than a sit down, but the Balti Express is my favourite curry in Brighton. It literally makes my mouth start watering thinking about it. If you haven’t tried them and you like your curry I would say try it as soon as possible.

I went Tue evening in a party of six. We all left very impressed. The octopus was great value at £3, and the flank steak with porcini cream was an amazing (small) dish. There are some great salads there too. Tried a few other things that were good too. The only disappointment was a desert (blood orange, ricotta and honey) that was revolting. I told them as much, and were very apologetic and took it off the bill, also claiming that it had only recently been put on the menu. Despite that, I'll be going back: a really good mid- to upper-level, flexible addition to Brighton's restaurant scene.
How easy to get in, given that you can't book? I nightmare at weekends I spose.
And Eastern Eye is a bit too much like being in an amusement arcade.

Went with a work party on Tuesday night. Had four sharing steaks and variety of sides. All who attended thought the steaks were fantastic. Only slight shock of the evening was receiving the bill. one of the Chateaubriand steaks alone was over £100! - Whilst good, if it this was my money I wouldn't spend so much.

We (six) turned up at 9 on a Tuesday, not having booked, and were seated immediately. There weren't too many other free tables at that stage though.
Two of us turned up at 8.30pm midweek and it was the last free table. Pot luck I guess. We did phone a few minutes before to check and had another place in reserve.

Not sure - we turned up at 1 ish on a weekday and there was loads of room, though it was filling up by the time we left.
Moshimo last night for an early dinner to take advantage of the 50% off for members deal. Some really good mackerel sashimi and their tempura really is decent. Worst (i say worst, it was the least best) dish was the beef sashimi, though the meat is really good quality.
Service impeccable.
We had about 8 or 9 dishes and a really good bottle of sauvignon blanc for £55 all in (including tip). Best value in town. Would have been 75 without discount.

Go there quite regularly. Fantastic food, best steaks in the area
Busby & Wilds.
Well well well. New contender for best steak in town at Busby and Wilds. The whole meal was excellent in fact.
Started with pork croquettes with anchovy aioli and had the steak followed by a single scoop of chocolate ice cream. Couldn't fault any of it and will go as far to say as it's the best meal I've had in this town since I last went to Little Fish Market.
4 people with starters and mains, only one didn't have pudding, a bottle of really good wine and 6 beers (great selection) and 4 coffees came to 200 quid with service and it was worth every penny. It was a little quiet in there which was a surprise but it's a bit out of the way I guess. If this was in the town centre it would be full most evenings with the level of cooking. I demand you all go.
