Pavel Indian Restaurant is a casual Indian dining room at 40 St James’s Street in Brighton’s Kemptown area. Guests can reserve a table for dinner or choose collection and local delivery, making the restaurant suitable for both an evening out and a meal at home.
The menu spans mild, creamy dishes and hotter, aromatic preparations. Chicken korma combines almonds and coconut, butter chicken uses tandoori chicken in a yoghurt based sauce, and lamb potato balti brings together tender meat, roast potato and layered spices.
Tandoori chicken, onion bhaji and other starters sit alongside an extensive range of balti, biryani, chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetable dishes. House and chef specialities such as lamb tikka bakara give regular curry house choices a more individual direction.
Rice, naan and vegetable accompaniments allow a table to build a shared meal around different spice preferences. Guests with allergies should speak with the restaurant before ordering, particularly because nuts, dairy, gluten and other common allergens appear across curries, breads and shared preparation.
Address: 40 St James's Street, Kemptown, Brighton BN2 1RG, England
