.Not
often we can boast a member that has a Loo of the Year Award but
that is just what chef proprietor Shah Athar's restaurant achieved in
its first year. Cafe Rasoi first came to notice when a curry fan from
Australia was so taken with the restaurant that he told all and
sundry. The decor is smart and the food, fusion and innovative with
attractive presentations. As well as being popular locally, we are
told customers regularly travel from 25 miles away or more to enjoy
the food and ambience. Regular jazz evenings with professional
artists are an added attraction as are the occasional taster evenings
to try out new flavours. Tipped for the top and certainly one to try. Shortlist

An exciting new restaurant opened in summer 2008 by
Alun and Dawn Sperring. Originally from Brighton Alun has spent the
last twenty years circumnavigating the globe, firing up his passion
for interesting and delicious food in Europe, Australia, the
Americas, the far, near and middle East, the Caribbean and India.
Alun has won plaudits wherever he has been at the helm of a kitchen
brigade, deploying his considerable expertise, experience and
creativity to turn a restaurant around, or cement and refine its
established reputation. Alun has now brought his classical European
sensibilities, via a stint at London's Cinnamon Club and travels in
India, back to the wonderfully diverse and unique city of Brighton,
in order to offer Indian regional dishes, authentic in flavour and
method, but tweaked and tuned to his own distinctive style.
Chef Sabu works his magic as a South Indian specialist
whilst Chef Laxman concentrates on Indian and Nepalese dishes and
Dawn organises front of house.
