Recently been to this lovely cafe in Brighton that I would highly recommend! This family-run cafe has an incredible location and a charming ambiance. The decor is cute and comfortable, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
What really stood out to me was the amazing variety of Indian snacks that they had on offer. From savory to sweet, there was something to suit every taste. And let me tell you, everything was absolutely delicious! I especially loved their samosas and chai tea.
The staff at this cafe were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made me feel right at home and were always happy to chat or make recommendations. It was clear that they take pride in their business and go above and beyond to make their customers happy.
A real gem. We went in during a howling storm and felt totally nourished by the food with delicate, delicious flavours, the warm welcome by the family, and a charming atmosphere with relaxing folksy tunes. Would be great for a morning coffee, lunch or dinner, or a glass of wine in the evening.
This place is the definition of hidden gem!! The food is always amazing, been twice now, the food is so fresh, healthy, nourishing, beautifully served and tastes absolutely incredible. Wish I could eat here everyday! Excellent.
A group of us recently spent the afternoon at Nanima for my husbands birthday. The food and service were both outstanding. We tried a selection of the delicious homemade dishes and shared them between us. The menu changes daily (which tells you just how fresh it is!) and is super flexible with many options/variations to choose from.
The hours passed as we steadily ordered more food and more beer! Nanima feels like a home from home, super relaxing and the best place to catch up with friends.
HIGHLY recommend!
Popped in for an early dinner with our dog on a Friday. Very much a cafe style place, intimate and informal, but if that's what you're after you can't go wrong. Delicious, varied menu - found it very hard to choose what to have. Dishes all delicately flavoured, nourishing and cooked with love in beautiful family run kitchen. Homely atmosphere and Nicky and her hubby could not have been more hospitable and warm to us and especially our pooch. Will be back soon!

A warm dog-friendly welcome from Nicky and family led to a lovely dinner for myself and girlfriend. Our dog is a little random on account of being a rescue, but we were assured through stories of various family dogs over the years, that our fuzzball was in good hands.
The menu is a selection of freshly cooked concoctions which you can mix and match into meals, for instance 1 main and 2 veg sides, that sort of setup. We had salmon with string beans, shredded veg and a delicious sauce, with some chicken wings and a tasty puff pastry lamb-slice-type-thing plus a fresh tap lager. Think it was cobra. The queue for the place next door beggars belief as I'm sure their pizza is fine but it's not going to be much different pricewise than Nanima and you won't have as healthy or tasty a meal or meet nicer people than this lot! I mean: it's just pizza?! I remember when I was a student the familiar ease of stuff like pizza or kebab felt more soothing and once habits had been reinforced they were difficult to break, but the predominantly uni-vibe of the takeaway next door would have an amazing meal at Nicky's for not more more.
My mates got a saying 'i make my own atmosphere!' and whilst that's a great attitude most of the time I reckon a packed evening in here would be even more fun than the decent low-slung guitar-led tunes that were on the playlist when we visited. They're all so amazingly warm, attentive and chatty. Just a lovely bunch of people and we'll definitely head back.
Highly recommend this great cafe.
Welcoming host, whose passion for the food they serve shone through in his detailed explanation of all the dishes available, which change on a daily basis.
The food was delicious, just the right side of spicy.
Can't wait till I am back in the area, as want to try their Singaporean Laska, only available in Fridays and Saturdays
Very cute spot for a bowl of wholesome goodness! Made us feel so welcome as well. You have to try the gin jasmine tea cans. Will deffo be back
Stumbled upon Nanima while looking for a coffee shop near the hospital, I was immediately welcomed and shown the food on offer, which looked amazing. I only had coffee and a brownie this time (which were both delicious) and could only look on in awe as the place filled up with people, each time welcomed in and shown the daily menu on offer. It had a great family run atmosphere and the passion for the food and service was clear. I'll be returning to try the food very soon!
Cracking’ place in a lovely part of Brighton. I came here during the Great Escape festival and had a really lovely meal. It’s a great venue and the people that run that restaurant are so welcoming and nice. The food is amazing, we ordered lots of different things and loved them all, but my top tip is to leave a little room in your belly, and it’s difficult to when presented with such great starters, for the amazing deserts, oh my goodness they are great. Don’t think twice, this place rocks, get yourself down there.
