Kitgum in Brighton offers an enchanting blend of East African and Gujarati cuisine, reflecting a rich cultural heritage brought over by exiled Asians from Uganda in 1972.
The restaurant promises a warm atmosphere where good food, music, and times blend seamlessly, inviting guests to savour small plates influenced by the diverse flavours of India, East Africa, and Persia. This is a place where families can connect with history while enjoying creatively curated meals in a relaxed setting.
Taking inspiration from an eclectic range of tastes and ingredients, dishes on the menu are made for sharing and boast a spectrum of vibrant flavours. Highlights from the Firsts section include Ismaili daal, with a whole spice and curry leaf temper, and Katlesi, an East African fish cake served with pickled mooli and masala tartar. Moving onto the Seconds section, you'll find the restaurant's signature dish, KFC (Kitgum Fried Chicken). This is chicken like you've never seen it before, cooked in a karahi sauce with chilli and ginger.
For something a little different, consider the Kalio, a slow-cooked lamb curry with saffron and a crispy potato topping. Sides are just as mouthwatering, with Kachumbari salad offering refreshing respite from the spice, and onion & cumin rice, the perfect accompaniment to stews and curries.
End your meal on a sweet note with a classic Indian dessert – think Mandazi (cardamom doughnut) with kulfi or mango sorbet. A glass of wine or a bottle of craft beer would make the perfect addition to your meal, with Kitgum's drinks list carefully curated to complement the flavours on the menu.
