Arabic Restaurants iin Brighton

Cowfold Seagull · Feb 17, 2015

Having worked in Beirut for some time back in the 1980's and 90's l developed a taste for Middle Eastern cuisine. I know that there are now a plethora of said Arabic restaurants in Brighton, and l wonder if any of you foodies out there have eaten at any of them regularly?

If so, do you have any particular favourites?, and which dishes do you order?

I'd be interested in this - visited Beirut twice a year between 2007 and 2014. Used to regularly eat at http://mounirs.com/menu.html

I've been to Kambis just near Norfolk Square a couple of times and it was very good but having never been to the Middle East I couldn't comment on how closely it matches the food over there.

It's BYO as well which keeps the cost down.

Kambis is one of my favourites - been there lots and it's never disappointed

Been here a few times - Shandiz on Church Road, Hove and really like it.

Kambis is great. I've been told by a lebanese former colleague that the one on West Street is crap.

Al Nakhl at the top of West Street and Kambis by Norfolk Square are both very very good! But as I've never been to the Middle East I can't confirm if they are a true likeness.

Sahara near Norfolk Square/Western Road is thoroughly recommended
Great meal and great service and good value.... Bring your own drinks

Blue Man in Queens Road is Morrocan. Used to be in Lower East Street. Been a couple of times -- good value, and good if you like that kind of cuisine

Good shout, though it's not Arabic.

I like Kambis, but does anyone remember The Fountain House that used to be on Queens Road. There aren't (m)any restaurants that I end up as a regular in, but this is as close as you get. It was delicious, dirt cheap, great selection and BYO too. I regularly weep its absence.

For someone that has NEVER been to the Middle East you have some warped views on Israel.
By the way I'll be running Tel Aviv marathon next week. If only one could do the same safely elsewhere in the region ....

You're in the wrong thread mate.

Unlike you who sits behind their keyboard, I actually go out to the Middle East & see what life is like there in person. For someone that has such strong opinions, but never ever visited the Middle East - your opinions are laughable.

And for the record I concur with others- Sahara restaurant is very good. Especially the humus, falafel & shish kebab

Give it a ****ing rest. No one cares about your stupid spat we just want to know where to get good arabic food.
