I have to say service spot on and I found out why before the end of the evening. The food was exquisite. Chicken Satay was dreamy the chicken still moist and the satay sauce had a bit of warmth. Would like to buy a bucket of that sauce. Five skewers of chicken which as I stated was dreamy. Then I had drunken noodles with chicken for the main course the heat level went up a couple of notches but was still really enjoyable there was pineapple chunks in the noodles which heightened the mix of flavours. We were chatting away whilst finishing our food some had finished and I thought it was unusual practice to clear away plates whilst others were still eating. Became clear when the man not wearing a waiting apron leaned across me still eating nearly got the opened water bottle up his sleeve said he needed the table in 5 mins Now I an sure when table was booked it was explained. I would suggest next time he asks us how our meal was and then he could say that the next dinner guests had arrived and could we start leaving the table. Waiter service 10/10 food delivery 10/10 food quality 10/10 food quantity10/10 management attitude needs work for a perfect score. My advice get there on time and enjoy the food. Be prepared to be asked to leave once your time is up. Great place to eat but not a place to chill. The stopwatch is on

We've been here twice now, and every dish we've ordered has been 10/10.Highly recommend the Country Chicken and prawns wrapped in crispy noodles.

We asked the owner for some recommendations and they did not disappoint. Delicious food, generous portions and very friendly staff. Highly recommend the crispy squid and I love salmon dishes. We will be back for sure!

After wandering around looking for somewhere to eat, we just opted for this place, not knowing anything about it. Eternally grateful that we did though. Food was absolutely 100%, atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and the service was excellent. Being here on holiday, I so wish this restaurant was closer to home.

We visited this restaurant for my mother's birthday and it was such a nice decision. Its a very cozy restaurant with scrumptious thai food and some unique dishes. Everything was super tasty and had different flavors. The floating market fish and the prawn wrapped in crispy noodles won our hearts. What made our experience memorable are the super warm servers. We were greeted and taken care by three of them and they all are super friendly and managing the entire place responsibly ?. If u r looking for any place for celebration, then hands down would recommend this restaurant as it ticks off all the boxes ?.I would love to give one extra star for the service ?

We live locally and finally got around to trying out this place, and we shouldn’t have waited so long. What an amazing experience. Food was fantastic, generous portions, extremely tasty and arrived in good time. Our server Mei was excellent, funny and attentive. Will certainly be back!

Cafe Chilli in Hove is, without a doubt, the best Thai restaurant in Brighton. Whenever you arrive, you're greeted with the friendliest staff, and the owners, Seb and Fon, are the heart and soul of this wonderful place.One thing that really sets Chilli apart is the portion sizes – they are incredibly generous. Seb and Fon go above and beyond to make sure their customers feel welcome and appreciated. It's not just about the food; it's the whole experience that keeps us coming back.As we're always about to leave, Seb always surprise us with a complimentary shot, a sweet gesture that makes us feel like part of their extended family. Their kindness and genuine care for their customers make each visit memorable.?️??
Great restaurant and lovely food, very spicy so be careful of the curry, I love heat but this red curry was to my limit. Prawns were to die for, satay was real good as well, beer was expensive but part of the meal experience. In all probability the best Thai In Brighton. £160 for 4 inc 4 beers and 2 cocktails…

The food was very disappointing.This restaurant was MUCH better. The Tom yum was tasteless and lacked the most important ingredient which is lemongrass!, the squid was not served in an optimal quality and the chicken green curry was over cooked and the curry itself was watery in consistency (not creamy and rich).

Busy, very nice host, lovely service, waited a while for each course tbh.Small portions, there was no guide on the menu as to ow hot the dish might be, which would have been really helpful, they used to according to my friend who comes regularly, why did you stop?I always resent paying for rice as its obvious you need that.... Very small portion of prawn crackers, mean.Expensive for each tbh. Disappointed.Tasty enough,Desserts were very few, I was lucky going for the crispy pancakes and ice cream but banana spring rolls were not to any of our taste.I felt meh about the whole thing, I get that it's hard for restaurants now and they are obviously making portions smaller in a bid to make profit, but sorry I wouldn't return, it was just too much for too little for my taste. Be generous with cheap items like rice and prawn crackers, , we are spending our money with you, you want us back no? Sorry it a red buzzer from me...

Food was good but at end of meal on asking for bill was given it with things added meaning it was 2 & times my real bill. They corrected it before I paid but they had known what I had so do not think a mistake. So if you go food nice but check your bill carefully before paying.
