The Golden Peacock is a vibrant Indian restaurant in Brighton offering a colourful and contemporary take on classic Indian dining. Open for lunch and dinner, it is a lively and welcoming spot for everything from relaxed midweek meals to celebratory evenings with friends, family or colleagues.
Inspired by India’s national bird, the peacock, The Golden Peacock restaurant celebrates joy, creativity and diversity, blending traditional Indian flavours with modern techniques and subtle global influences. The menu goes beyond the standard curry house offering, while still respecting the roots of Indian cuisine.
Starters include onion bhajis, royal murgh malai tikka, vegetable samosa chaat and lamb samosas, ideal for sharing. Main dishes range from Old Delhi butter chicken and paneer-based curries to Kerala-style seafood molly, all served with fragrant rice, dal and freshly baked naans. There is also a thoughtfully designed children’s menu, featuring familiar favourites alongside mild curries, tikka with rice or chips and other kid-friendly options. Desserts include pistachio kulfi, churros with saffron ice cream and chocolate brownie with ice cream.
The drinks list is equally varied, with beers, spirits, teas and coffees, alongside an extensive wine selection covering red, white, rose and sparkling styles. A range of cocktails and mocktails adds to the sociable atmosphere, making it a great choice for group dining and birthday celebrations.
Inside, the decor is bright and modern, with teal walls, warm wooden floors and gold accents creating a stylish yet relaxed environment. Leather bar stools, high tables and a wraparound bar make it easy to drop in for drinks or enjoy a full meal. Outside, the navy frontage with gold lettering offers a striking introduction to this fun, quirky Brighton restaurant.
