Curry Leaf Cafe is two years old this month, and to mark the occasion we're putting on a special evening of food, drink and music at our Ship Street cafe. The five-course menu is inspired by Chef Kanthi's recent trip around South India, providing a culinary tour of some of the region's most celebrated and unusual dishes.
To coincide with our second birthday we'll also be launching a brand-new Indian spiced cocktail menu created by our mixologist friends from Brighton's award-winning The Cocktail Shack. Tickets cost £30 each.
Venue: Curry Leaf Cafe
