Beelzebab — Restaurant in England

Where do I begin? We ventured up to Brighton from Cornwall for two things. To visit a spa and to grab a vegan doner kebab from this place. Neither let us down.

When we walked in it instantly reminded me of the famous ruin bars of Budapest, Hungary. Full of character from floor to ceiling. Overflowing with quirkiness, yet the real star of the show has to be Beelzebab.

We tried out the doner and my word, it was so tasty! I haven’t eaten a real kebab in several years since turning vegetarian and I never thought I’d have the simple pleasure of pitta, meat and salad again. My partner has never had the pleasure, so i wasn’t sure if the vegan doner would do it justice- but it totally did!

I imagine this place could be 4* on a good day if you order the right thing, But overall my experience was...

All vegan, bit hipster, very colourful. Beelzebab is, I hope, a Vegan Brighton Institution by now. A great range of beer and always the delicious Seacider on tap. Vegan junk food is good, but pancake Day here is the best. Off the normal menu, I'm personally not a big fan of the hotdogs, and that's a "my mouth doesn't like the texture" thing. However, the loaded fries and kebabs are amazing. Pudding is ways super too. This is one of my fav places to bring an omni friend to surprise them how ace vegan junk food can be. Service is usually good, although, of course, a little slower when busy. Its a popular place, so don't be surprised if you can't get a seat on a...
