The family behind Hove's Chilli now runs Tamarind, a Thai on Preston Street

Tamarind^2,3,4,5, a Thai restaurant at 65 Preston Street, is the latest from the family behind Chilli in Hove, Restaurants Brighton¹ reported on 27 October.

The Hove Chilli has been open for 16 years, and a second Chilli followed in Brighton. At Tamarind, husband-and-wife team Seb and Fon took over from Kanok Thai and kept the original chefs, Restaurants Brighton said. The menu keeps Kanok’s street-food theme, with less familiar Thai dishes next to better-known ones.

The lunch menu is noodle bowls, curries and stir-fries. Boat Noodles, a soup with pork stock and pork, cost £14.95. Most other dishes, from Bangkok Dry Noodles to Green Curry, Paneng and Pad Krapow, cost £13.95 with vegetables, £14.50 with chicken or pork and £14.95 with prawns. Restaurants Brighton also picked out a rum-spiked Thai milk tea cocktail called the Siam Silk and Khanom Tuay, a layered custard topped with coconut.

Brighton and Hove council inspectors gave Tamarind a food hygiene rating of 4 on 2 September.

It opens from 12pm every day. On weekdays it closes from 3pm to 5pm, and tables can be booked on its website.
