Authentic Persian & Middle Eastern Cuisine in Hove & Brighton

“We visited Gandom Charcoal Grill for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious – we enjoyed the falafel and Kashkseh Bademjan for starters, followed by the chicken and lamb shish served with rice and vegetables. The portions were very generous, so unfortunately we didn’t have room to try any dessert this time! The service was excellent – friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and is a great place to enjoy a meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely like to come back to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We visited Gandom for the first time with a group of friends and had such a wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly and made to feel comfortable. We each had the Gandom kebab platter for one, and it was absolutely worth it. The lamb and chicken were beautifully cooked—tender and full of taste—and the rice was light, fluffy, and fragrant. The grilled peppers and fresh salad paired perfectly with the meal. We were also offered complimentary tea, which was a lovely touch, and shared some baklava to finish. It was the perfect ending to a great meal. We stayed for around two hours and genuinely felt at home. The background music created a great atmosphere, and the young lady who served us was incredibly attentive, friendly, and hardworking. We’ll definitely be coming back. Keep up the amazing work!”
