Our Story
In 1972, the president of Uganda, Idi Amin, announced that all Asians had 90 days to leave their homeland. Among the 60,000 exiles were my parents, and although they only took a single suitcase they brought culture and cooking from two great continents. I was raised with these recipes and now I want to share them with you.

Need to show some massive appreciation for the one and only Susie Bates

Three months in and I still just stand in our space and gaze at how beautiful it is. Everyone who walks through the door says the exact same thing.

Susie has incredible attention to detail. If it were down to me, it would look horrendous! She’s always on my case about the little things, and yeah, I get annoyed at the time—but I always take a step back and think, ‘Shut up Fayaz, she knows what she’s doing.’ I trust her fully and always have her back.

I’m so lucky to have her as my partner in Kitgum and my partner in life. She turned our first house, and then a standard mid-terraced house, into something extraordinary. She has an eye for this and just knows exactly what she wants.

The funny thing is, she has zero confidence in her ability. I tell her interior design is her calling, but she just shrugs it off as a ‘fluke.’

Well, I’m here to say—it’s no fluke! She did absolutely ALL of it. The colours, managing the builders, electricians, and carpenters, the front door design —every single detail.

What makes it mind-blowing is she pulled all of this off while being an amazing mum to three young kids and working a full-time job in TV.

The reason our space looks and feels so amazing is ALL down to YOU, Susie Bates! Thank you, we’re forever grateful! 🙏 ♥️

For the first time since Kitgum started 11 years ago, me and Susie went to Kitgum as customers.

I’ll be honest, I was bricking it all day. Knots in my stomach, to the point where I thought I couldn’t do it. Maybe because I thought I’d be studying it too hard, or because I know Susie is a (very much needed) perfectionist and would notice everything@if it wasn’t perfect.

We waited a few minutes outside, walked in, and every bit of the anxiety disappeared. DJ playing nice tunes. The atmosphere just hit us. We sat at the bar and chatted to fellow diners while plate after plate kept coming, every one delicious. Emrys, our new bar manager, made us incredible cocktails. Deep down I knew it was going to be amazing, and we had the best time. All very positive. Obviously I drank way too much, but thankfully I didn’t get kicked out. 😄

Me and Suze sat at the bar, looked at our team, and both agreed how lucky we are. Our customers say it. Our DJs say it. We’re one team, not front and back of house, just one team. Brenden said it perfectly last night: we’re a family.

And that’s exactly how it feels. A Kitgum family. ❤️

So a massive, massive thank you to ALL of the team. Thank you for all the hard work, passion, love and effort you put in every single day. Thank you for being part of our family!!

Love you all! ###

OctoberBest 2026: a nod to Pakistan

Very late to the party! It’s been hectic and we’ve nearly missed out on telling you about .

From 10th to 24th October, we’re serving our October Best menu. Multiple dishes inspired by my teenage years in London. Hanging out with Pakistani mates is where I discovered this cuisine, and where I first fell in love with food. Late-night grill house runs, seekh kebabs off the charcoal, and big pots of biryani at the house parties.

Bookings have gone a bit crazy, but we still have space.

Come and eat it with us.

From next week we’re open Tuesday to Saturday, with lunch from 12pm on Fridays and Saturdays. 3 Hampton Place, Brighton. Link in bio to book.
