Overpriced, the ham is not that good; expect small portions so order a lot of food if you want to eat well. It feels like a real Spanish restaurant because of the design, the smell and the noise.

What a fantastic meal at Casa Don Carlos! The atmosphere was wonderful, and I've since learned that it has not changed since it's opening. A beautiful, intimate, traditional spot found in the Brighton lanes, I cannot recommend it enough. My friends and I shared the grilled squid, chicken and peppers, chicken and ham croquettes, garlic prawns, patatas bravas, and the rum chorizo special which was lit on fire table side. We also had a bowl of olives and bread, served with garlic mayonnaise. The menu is vast, with a wide variety of fish, meat, and vegetables dishes as well as daily specials. I highly recommend getting a jug of sangria for your table to share. A true Brighton land mark, this is one restaurant you have to try!

The food, the staff and the atmosphere here were fantastic. We ordered around 5 dishes, a bottle of the house wine and bread & olives for two. It was a perfect meal, the dishes came out promptly one after the other and when the table was filling up too much they brought another table across. Will definitely be going back.

Food were delicious! The slightly downside of it? One of the waitress who was serving us was not friendly. For me, aside from delicious food, it is also very important good ambience and friendly service!

My favourite restaurant in Brighton!Always a pleasure to visit the Don and the food is excellent. As good if not better than anywhere I’ve visited in Spain.Highly recommend the flambé sausages and the paella, the octopus is lovely too.The price has gone up a bit since Covid but that’s not unusual, paying to keep the lights on and the gas in the kitchen must have quadrupled so I reckon it’s perfectly acceptable.

From beginning to end the whole experience was bad. From the outside the restaurant looks authentic and sweet, but once seated the menus were thrown at us. The manger (older man with glasses) came to take our order and rushed us through the ordering. He pressured us into ordering bread and dips, despite us saying no at first he pushed us to order them.When the dishes came out, the disappointment continued. The paella was stoggy and warm, not hot, with little fish or meat. It was also salty and had little to no flavour. The prawns also had eggs, and while it’s fine to eat them it’s not always pleasant. The other dishes (meatballs, patatas bravas and chicken wings) were covered in same salty tomato sauce. No where during service did we get asked if the food was okay or if we needed anything, and getting hold of any staff was hard.When we finally got hold of the manager to ask for the bill, he didn’t bring it straight away. Instead he cleaned the table while we were still sat there. At this point two of our party were very uncomfortable and got up to leave.When we finally got the bill it was a poorly scribbled piece of paper, which was ineligible therefore we couldn’t see the price or the items of anything to know if they were correct. When we asked to keep the receipt he said no and handed us a small slip of paper with just the final amount on, no itemised receipt instead I had to take a picture of it.I would not recommend and as we were leaving we told people outside not to go in and waste their money.
