The Coconut Island Brighton

Fabulous atmosphere and great food! Although one member of staff told us the roti was vegan and another said they added milk to it, so take care of you have a dairy allergy.

Absolutely wonderful Sri Lankan food...perfect for my vegan taste and partner loved the fish. Total taste experience with great ambience and service !

Fantastic food and incredibly friendly, genuine and knowledgeable team! We will be back.

Delicious food. Very good cocktails. Lovely staff. An absolute treat for our group which needed vegan and gluten free …. There was an amazing choice.

Great food, great service. Will definitely go back again soon.

Enjoyed food, lovely positive vibe and decoration. Felt like we were in another country. We went for my dads birthday, he has terminal cancer so it was nice for him to enjoy and feel happy. One of the owners spoke to him and had a great vibe. The waitress was very friendly and informative too and provided recommendations. We enjoyed everything especially the hopper, the pumpkin curry, mushrooms and cashewnuts. Thank you for making our day

Great food and a nice atmosphere. Will visit again in the future

A great restaurant , great staff, food, and cocktails. Excellent service. A new cuisine for me and I loved it.

The food is fantastic, the atmosphere relaxed and the staff really friendly. And it’s great value for money. We always seem to have take home even when we think we’re ordering sensibly!

Warm Welcome, Authentic food and great value. Definitely worth a try

Fabulous food as always at Coconut Island, created and presented by staff with a passion for this amazing and much underrated cuisine. We will be back soon.

An absolute jewel of a place....the food is outstanding. We had an all vegan choice...stunning

We loved our visit to Coconut Island! Exceptional service, relaxed and friendly atmosphere and incredible food. Highly reccommend :)

The food was tasty and the fish curry and Appam were very tasty

The food was amazing, and staff were just lovely. They accommodated to all our needs and the artwork on the walls is really cool. It was a little loud but I think it’s just the layout of the building.

Best Sri Lankan food in Brighton ! very good service.

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.
