The Curry Leaf Cafe, Brighton’s largest independent food operator, opened their fourth site yesterday. The award-winning South Indian casual dining restaurant has bucked the trend, proving independent restaurants can survive in a competitive food market.
A purpose-built street food trailer, styled to resemble an Indian train carriage, has been positioned outside the popular Churchill Square shopping centre.
The Curry Leaf Cafe already has three sites in Brighton – the original Brighton Lanes Cafe, Kemptown Kitchen and Brighton Station kiosk – and serves more than 15,000 people every month. The addition of ‘Curry Leaf Cafe – Churchill Square’ further cements its reputation as one of Brighton’s hospitality success stories.
Euan Sey, Curry Leaf Cafe co-founder and commercial director, said:
“We’re thrilled to open another site here in our hometown. Churchill Square attracts millions of shoppers every year, and trading from such a prominent location gives us the chance to bring our freshly prepared, authentic Indian street food to an even wider audience – as well as offering a range of reasonably priced, restaurant-quality food to the many people who live and work in the city centre.”
Curry Leaf Cafe – Churchill Square will serve a range of Indian pastries, street food, wraps, biriyani rice boxes and curries from 9am onwards each day, alongside healthy options such as salads, lassi drinks and organic teas.
