You might want to check but the morrocan restuaurant (name eludes me) on Western Road has belly dancing as an added extra (might only be for parties though).

Had a hilarious night at this place in Kemp town years ago. The chef comes up to 'entertain' once he's finished cooking. It was one of those so bad it's good nights - don't know whether it's still there though

Rotana in Preston Street. Moroccan restaraunt, you sit down on the floor, with cushions etc eating as a group off a table. Belly dancers etc. Only been once about 5 years ago but was good.

Why don't you get them all togged up in shirts & ties and take them to McDonalds - that'd be quite quirky and certainly qualifies on the "food not very good" criteria.

This is what I was thinking when I saw the thread. Make and cook the curry, consume it (with complementary beer), and then carry on into town.
Sounds like a top night!

I have never eaten in a tapas bar and in fact wouldn't know how about ordering a meal so for a novice like me how does one start do you just pick a few items that you like the sound of and hope that they go together well. Any advice is welcome as I would love top try one.
I am warming to you
It's all small dishes, so normally order 2-3 each, share, and order more if you wish.
My fave tapas is the Andalucia in Ferring near Worthing if you are out this way
Tapas is easy to do at home. Just look up some recipes online for ideas and give them a go. It'll work out cheaper if you end up throwing stuff away that you're not to keen on.

This is what I based this thread on. Have had some great times in there but was hoping for something else along these lines, having been there 5-6 times it's kind of lost it's appeal sadly. Thought about Yo Sushi or Moshi Moshi but others going didn't seem so sure. Booked Agua Dulce now so will report back soon!
There used to be a brilliant Mongolian in Horsham, probably about 15 years ago I guess now, you could pick out what ingredients you wanted then take it to the front and watch it being cooked. I only went once and then it closed. Was great fun though particularly as a child.
That's a shame mate, I love it there. But I do get ya drift if you've been before a few times.

Pretty much exactly what the one in Brighton does, I liked it because it was different! Can't believe there is nothing else along those lines in this city...
Is it still open? Can't find a website, do they open at lunch times?

I have a feeling they might have re named or something, try Gobi??

Bali Brasserie was a great crack and brillinat food, we had the banquet and then was entertained by some old granny with a guitar, she was so cheesey, awful which made it fantastic in a querky kind of way.
That appears to be right
