Aloka

On a visit to Brighton to see R&S, we decided to try Aloka during their special late lunch deal - between 3 and 4 pm the food is 2-for-1. They have a buffet-style setup with loads of vegetarian, vegan and raw selections, and you weigh your plate to find out how much you pay. The plate above is a little bit of everything I saw - avocado and cucumber salad, seitan bake, tofu tarts, olives, red lentil curry, roast potato wedges, roasted vegetables, rice, and a lot of varied roasted seeds. There's probably a few more things but I can't remember it all. Very tasty and light - we came out full but not uncomfortably so, and it's a pretty good deal with the 2-for-1 deal. Not sure if it would be worth full price though, as the plate above would have been about 8.50.
