I have no idea why this is rated 4.4. This has probably been the best and most authentic Indian food I have ever had in England, From brick lane to Brighton I have been constantly disappointed. All these new and high rated Indian places to eat are just not that great. I have been to India many times and this by far is the best.
The chef was Rahul and it’s located in kemp town, it was fresh, very tasty and authentic! Will be going back regularly! Just wish I found it earlier!

I have tried most well established Indian restaurants in the UK and this is the best Indian restaurants I have ever visited in the UK. The dishes which were exciting were mutton chukka, dosai varieties, butter milk and coffee. Must try these dishes when you visit. When you ask for coffee, please ask for strong one if you are a fan of kumbakonam coffee drinker (if you don't get one, again request to make it strong like I did). However, the chilli parrota, fish curry and fish fry were average taste. In curd vada the vada needs to be socked to taste even better. The ambience was really great with Tamil songs. Try to book a table of you visiting over a weekend or bank holidays.
Decent dosa (thosai) - sambal was spicy and delicious, dosa was nice and crisp with simple potato masala'
Chennai super king dosa was very spicy so be warned but great with coconut chutney.
Too many tables for the space so not comfortable to sit. Friendly servers. Unclean toilets. Overpriced for what it is but pretty decent food
Everything looked so delicious … didn’t even click good pics … next time will click better ones , yes there definitely will be a next time …
This is my second time in Brighton and second time in Vel
This time had pepper chicken curry , coriander/chilli naan …
Raja , Rahul and Asif … hats off to you guys … very good chefs …
Wonderful service by Martha and Priyan ! Keep up the good work guys !
Visited the last night for a dinner on a bank holiday. Had to wait for 10mins for seating and another 30mins to get the Menu on table. They were busy and only two people to manage all tables. But once the food arrived it was worth the wait. All the things we ordered were super delicious and taste like original Indian dishes. South Indian food was something best I had in UK better than any of the sarvana bhavan’s.
By far the best Indian in Brighton, the only authentic South Indian food around. The ghee roast and poori are insane. Real coconut chutney too.
A small restaurant with decent food and excellent service, since restaurant was busy and service staff told us that food is going to be delayed (appreciate ,coz the told it earlier)
Amazing South Indian food, best so far in Brighton. Mutton pepper gravy, biryani, Kottu paratha and dahi vada are too good. They have amazing masala chai as well. Staff is very friendly and provide great service.
Didn't try dosa but saw the preparation and it looks delicious.
As always they are one of the busiest restuarants with happy customers and successful service providers. I enjoy every dish here. It feels like home food☺️. Just hope if it is a big enough place so we don’t need to wait for longer time😄.
Absolutely fabulous place in Brighton to have authentic South Indian food.. The best place in the whole of Sussex by far👌 loved the ambience and service.. Staff were very welcoming and happy to accommodate our request of making Jain food for our friends too.. Cannot wait to dine here again 🙂👍 Kudos Team Vel💥💥💥💥💥
