At Gandom Charcoal Grill, we believe great food is about more than just eating. It is about bringing people together, sharing good food, discovering new flavours and creating memories around the table. Our journey began with a simple passion: to bring the rich, authentic flavours of the Middle East to Hove and give our guests the opportunity to Experience the Taste. We wanted to create a restaurant where traditional recipes could be enjoyed alongside the warmth and hospitality that are at the heart of Middle Eastern culture. From the moment you walk through our doors, our aim is to make you feel welcome, relaxed and ready to enjoy something special. We carefully select fresh, quality ingredients and prepare our food with great attention to detail. Many of our dishes are made using traditional methods and recipes, while our charcoal grill gives our meats and kebabs their distinctive smoky flavour. We are constantly learning, improving and developing our menu while staying true to the flavours and traditions that inspired us. The name Gandom, meaning wheat in Persian, represents something simple but important: food, nourishment and bringing people together. Just as wheat has been an important part of Middle Eastern culture for centuries, food has always played a central role in bringing families and communities together.

“Delicious chicken and salad. Baba ganoush and naan were exceptional. Try the starter that has walnuts in it. You won't regret it!”
“Very tasty food coupled with excellent service. The best in Brighton for Mediterranean food. Very highly recommended.”
“They made us feel like kings and queens. We came with our toddler and the kindness of staff towards him, gifting him extra little treats or noticing he could use a small spoon, made all the difference. The food was incredible. So fresh and tasty. You can see it is a happy team. Thank you so much.”
