The Coconut Island Brighton

The food and service were both excellent... having been to Sri Lanka earlier in the year, we were craving the tastes and flavours of the island. The food did not disappoint, it was ultra delicious!! The vibe at the front of the restaurant was pretty flat and the music too loud - it seemed like the place to be was in the back! I'm sure when the front is full, the atmosphere is better :)

A brilliant experience. We loved all of the dishes we chose which was a combination of meat, fish and veg, incredible flavours, textures with just the right amount of spice. Very good portion sizes too and great value. Staff were all friendly and attentive. The reggie music gave it a great atmosphere too. It was very busy when we were there and the noise from the guests reverberated around the room but we soon became used to it. Will definitely be returning

Amazing food, great service and atmosphere. So happy about the amount of vegan options too.

Great experience and great food for a fair price. We will be back.

Just back from Sri Lanka and missed the food so much. Yummy authentic and and great vibe. Service fantastic. We will be back soon x

Loved it! The food was incredible and so was the service! We had such a nice evening. The food is insane!!!!!

Amazing food and cocktails, great atmosphere, really great service. A must in Brighton!

Not great, it’s trying to be a bar rather than a restaurant. Loud reggae music in the front section with high tables not conducive to restaurant dining and a sunken characterless dining room in the rear. Food was disappointing, small(ish) plates, overpriced with not a lot of choice. Didn’t really think this was an authentic Sri Lankan dining experience. A pity but will not be coming back.

Fantastic food and great service- I’ll be back! Thank you

First visit. Really enjoyed the food and the vibe. Reasonable prices & good advice from our waitress

Hoppertastic! Brilliant food as always, and lovely to have a Lion Stout too.

Booked on a recommendation and we weren't disappointed. Great food and service.

Amazing food, lovely staff and cocktails to die for - what’s not to like?!

Amazing food The staff where knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming We will return soon

Fantastic food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

We loved the food (great quantity, fair value) and the aesthetic of the restaurant, however the service was quite appalling from our waiter and the music was too loud for us to hear each other at a small table for four. I want to highlight that other members of the team were working hard to cover for their complacent teammate and were visibly stressed. We had to call over for their attention several times and spent most of the evening waiting to order, for drinks and food to arrive, for the table to be cleaned (including piles of cinnamon powder leftover from the table-side fire drinks display), and to pay our bill. The restaurant has a few teething problems to work on, and I’d love to return once it has found its rhythm, but it’s not quite there yet sadly.

Incredible food and lovely staff - would highly recommend to anyone

Buzzing atmosphere. Friendly service. Fantastic Sri Lankan food. Would recommend

Delicious food, reasonably priced drinks list, friendly staff who made great recommendations and good music too...what more do you want

Amazing food and atmosphere, will be going back again soon

Took my mam here for a belated Mother’s Day. Probably my new favourite restaurant in Brighton!

It was an absolute success! Food is lovely (beyond expectations) service was amazing, they took care of us very thoughtfuly

A bit different. Tastey food and nice service. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous authentic Sri Lankan street food Staff were amazing, friendly, attentive & helpful. Good size portions for ‘small plates’ & brought some home. Had

Was surprised at how big place is, as there is a bit out back with more seating. Good guidance from staff on how much to order. Loved the black belly pork and prawns. Would go back again Only downside was we ordered a certain wine but they gave us a different one without telling us. So I queried and they said they didn’t have the wine we ordered, and apologised for not telling us and just giving us another wine.

Lovely food, good service, nice busy atmosphere, decent music too !

Food and service were great. We particularly loved the hoppers, squid and fish curry. But all the food was delicious! Thank you very much, we'd love to come back soon!

Second time here and was as brilliant as the first. Great service, excellent hoppers, black pork, cashew, squid fry and wattalapam!

Amazing flavours, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Completely delicious! Will return.

Absolutely incredible food. I loved every mouthful. Lovely level of spice. Perfect!!

Good food, very authentic, good vibe and very friendly service,

Amazing food and amazing service! Our waitress Gayana was fantastic and was very knowledgable of the menu! Would definitely go back!

Good food lovely staff will go again great atmosphere thanks

We ate some of the best food weve ever eaten. So many vegan options too. The dishes were served as and when they were ready, hot and so flavoursome. Would definitely return.

Service excellent and friendly. Very tasty food and lots of vegan options. We will be back soon.

Delicious, interesting food. Lovely cocktails and great service. Easy going atmosphere and good prices. I liked everything.

Amazing food. You do need to be able to take a little spice, but loads of vegetarian and vegan options!

We loved it. Very friendly staff, delicious food and island vibe. Acoustics not great. As the evening got busier, it did get noisier and we found it hard to hear ourselves.

Friendly service and authentic Sri Lankan food, would definitely go again.

Delicious food and great speedy service. Everything was super yummy!

Absolutely amazing food. Fresh, tasty and vibrant. Went for a tasting menu and it was brilliant. Highly recommended. Will be back very soon. Thank you x

Quick lunchtime visit. Very easy to book. Great food and friendly helpful staff

Visited Coconut Island Brighton this past Saturday with my partner for an early Valentine's meal. The food was exceptional, and the server was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the dishes and drinks on the menu. We enjoyed a fantastic spread of dishes and a great cocktail each. The restaurant's decor is beautifully done, adding to the ambiance perfectly.

Great and informative staff. Brilliant food and drink. We loved it 👍

Great Sri Lankan food, good atmosphere and good value 👍🏼

Great food, great atmosphere, great experience. Would definitely recommend a visit!

We had a lovely meal. The Goat was delicious and so was the Angry bird. Don't get me started on the cocktails. Attentive staff and great tunes 😍❤️

Great food, great service, grwat drinks, great playlist and vibes !!
