Brighton restaurant recognised as Kitchen of the Year, celebrating culinary excellence and the team behind the food
Brighton, East Sussex — August 2026: Jamun Brighton is celebrating a major achievement after being named Winner – Kitchen of the Year at the prestigious English Curry Awards 2026.
The award was presented at The Grand Station, Wolverhampton, on 10 August 2026, bringing together leading restaurants and hospitality businesses from across the country to celebrate excellence within the UK’s curry and Indian restaurant industry.
For Jamun Brighton, being recognised as Kitchen of the Year is a particularly significant achievement because it shines a light on the people working behind the scenes to deliver every dish.
A restaurant’s kitchen is its heartbeat, and the recognition reflects the team’s dedication to quality, consistency, creativity and the craft of Indian cooking.
“We are incredibly proud to receive the Kitchen of the Year award,” said the Jamun Brighton team. “Our kitchen team puts an enormous amount of care, passion and attention into every plate that leaves the kitchen. To have that dedication recognised at the English Curry Awards is a very special moment for everyone involved.”
The competition at this year’s awards was exceptionally strong, making the achievement an important milestone for Jamun and a proud moment for Brighton.
The restaurant is particularly keen to acknowledge the role its customers have played in its journey.
“We are incredibly grateful to the people of Brighton who have supported us. Every visit, recommendation, review and word of encouragement has helped us on this journey. We are proud to represent Brighton on a national stage and to showcase the talent and passion that exists within our city.”
The Kitchen of the Year title is also a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to maintaining high standards behind the scenes, where preparation, teamwork and consistency are just as important as what guests see on the plate.
For the Jamun team, the recognition is about more than an award on the wall. It is an acknowledgement of the people who arrive early, prepare every ingredient, refine every recipe and work together under pressure to deliver the quality guests expect.
The team hopes the achievement will also help shine a spotlight on Brighton’s diverse and thriving food scene.
“Winning this award motivates us to keep learning, improving and pushing ourselves creatively. We are proud to bring this recognition back to Brighton and incredibly thankful to everyone who has been part of our journey.”
With the English Curry Awards 2026 recognition now adding to Jamun Brighton’s story, the restaurant remains focused on its core ambition: creating exceptional food while giving its customers an experience they want to return to.
