18 Ash Street - The Restaurant at BAHA in South Lakeland

We had a great time here, food and service also superb. Staff were very helpful - we left belongings there by mistake when visiting the area and they kindly posted them onto our home. Thanks!

Booked in advance a 1st floor restaurant table with window view (as one of the surprises for my wife's 50th birthday, while on vacation in the Lake District) only to be totally let down as once we arrived to be told "The 1st floor restaurant is closed" with no apology whatsoever? When the member of staff was challenged and asked why I had not been notified at the time of booking or previously in order to be given the opportunity to book elsewhere he looked confused and gave no explanation and still no apology? We were offered a seat downstairs which was grotty looking, most undesirable to say the least, in such disgust we were left speechless and simply walked out. It was now evening 8pm and we stood no chance of trying to find another restaurant as they were all too busy! So, thanks to all at the 'BAHA' for totally ruining a special 50th birthday> I implore all to boycott this establishment! Book at your peril!

Amazing service - Pablo was amazing and very professional he has been very charming and friendly. The food was delicious and fresh and Marius was very professional and smiling and took from his time to have a chat with us and tell us more about the menu and the venue.We recommend this place, if you are in the area you must come, is the most beautiful venue around Windermere lake.Thank you guys for the nice afternoon.

Booked the premium afternoon tea with Fizzy Tarte for myself and family which is next door, excellent service right from time of booking. Due to specific requirements they happily sat us in neighbouring restaurant BAHA. GF afternoon tea was sublime as was the non allergenic. The children had food from the BAHA menu, my son proclaimed it was the best burger he's ever had, chicken was cooked beautifully and the melted cheese on the brioche bun was a perfect accompaniment. Matt our server was excellent and went above and beyond for us. Definitely will return for another round.

We booked a meal for the restaurant which was lovely. Great staff, lovely decor and the food was really nice, good atmosphere. Not a massive menu but a good choice and was really tasty. The staff were really friendly too. After we ate we went downstairs, it was Saturday night and it was really busy. So no idea why they only had 3 bar staff on. I queued for about 15 mins, missed half the guy on Sax set, missed out on dancing with my friends. Eventually got fed up and joined the group, but we still wanted a bottle of wine. Went back to queue again for another 15 mins, by which time the group couldn’t be bothered so we left and went elsewhere. Such a shame, the vibe was buzzing and we didn’t want to leave but having to queue for such a long time and still not get a drink was ridiculous. Definitely need more staff behind the bar.

We received a very warm welcome and were shown to a nice table. It took 20 minutes to be asked for our order but after that the service was very good. The food was good and reasonably priced and the decor was very cool.

We had a table for 20 for a bottomless brunch. The food was huge and absolutely delicious. The staff we so friendly and really attentive. There was a good range of drinks available on the brunch. Thanks to the lovely staff. We had a fantastic time!

good range of options, decent service and comfortable enough. Well located for a stroll either before or after food and fairly cheap as well.

Went to the Karaoke Pod as a group of 11 friends which was great fun. We had intended to just go back to the rented house after karaoke but the downstairs bar had fantastic music and a brilliant atmosphere so we ended up staying. The barman ‘Mark?’ was an absolute star. He was very efficient, friendly and had great craic. The music a DJ and saxophonist were awesome. Even the security staff were lovely, friendly and professional. We would highly recommend the Baha. It was one of the highlights of our weekend.

This place is done nicely, very bougie. There is a bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs, the staff were really friendly and even got me a birthday card. The food wasn’t anything special though, we thought this was going to be fine dining but it was more like TGI Fridays. I’d come back to the bar but I wouldn’t eat in the restaurant again.

Got stung with additional drinks added to the bill which we didn't have or order, in addition I went to the bar to get the drinks and they added a service charges ?

Booked to have a family meal on Sunday 12th November. We all had Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed at all. The service was amazing as was the food. We had a fantastic time. Thank you so much

Really enjoyed my evening at Baha Bowness, very nice place. They had introduced a new menu on the night we went which tasted unbelievable, however the portion sizes were too small in my opinion and wasn't worth what I paid. Apart from that very good experience

Lovely quirky place with fabulous customer service! Great food with enough choice for an afternoon stop in Windermere 🍹🍹

Quiet time of year so no problem turning up without a booking. Prompt service. Good food - ordered 3 small plates to share, beautiful! Great vibe and lovely decor. Bonus was staying at the Cranleigh Hotel and getting 15% discount!

Had an enjoyable night here. The food was really tasty and the service was really good, everyone was very friendly. I'd say this is more a family friendly place than a romantic venue but didn't stop us having a good time! Plus we'd definitely come...

The venue is very quirky staff very attentive the venue itself. It’s only a short walk from the lakes. Food was lovely visit again soon

Having lived in the Lake District for 8 years I’ve only ever been to Baha for drinks. I’ve always wanted to try their food so I went last night (9th of October). The way the food is described on the menu is certainly inviting and...

What a fantastic night at Baha restaurant! The food was hot, delicious and all came out together for 16 people. Andrea and all the staff were absolutely amazing! Because we were a big group we sent our food orders in a couple of weeks before....

4 people had a lovely meal after walking. Good menu. Friendly staff. Lovely decor and vibe. Really enjoyed it.Emily was super.

Before arriving at the restaurant I rang up to book a table , I was told it would not be necessary as they was very quiet so we arrived half an hour later with no booking. Was greeted at the door by a lady who...

Lovely bar with great decor but we had to leave after one drink due to it being so cold. Everyone sat in the seats near the door were also leaving which staff wouldn’t have been aware of. One guy asked for the air con to...

Lovely decor. Nice staff (although I have to use a mobility aid and the staff member did not offer me the use of the lift so it took me ages to get up and downstairs) Food is bland feels very ‘big chain like’ - basically...

Firstly I’d like to start by saying the staff are great. Really attentive. The menu sounds excellent (slightly more expensive than I’d expect) and the choices are good. However, the reality of the food was pretty bad - the crab was ok but the mac...

This is a dog friendly restaurant/ bar , which is not on their website . If you are looking for somewhere to eat where dogs are allowed at the table great , but not for me . There is very limited veggy / vegan choices...

We visited baha which was recommended by a hotel we was staying at, so we gave it a try and was very happy. Atmosphere and food was lovely, would definitely recommend and would come back here.

Had an absolutely horrendous experience here and would never return. Stayed a few nights up in Windermere for the bank holiday with my partner, and on our last night we ventured out into Bowness with a couple of recommendations of bars to try. A couple...

We visited on a quiet Monday evening, service was good and we loved the decor of the restaurant area. Although the menu is small it is fairly priced and we had no problem making a choice. The burgers were really good and the chips were...

The restaurant is beautiful and staff very nice, unfortunately they don’t let you eat just starters, you are forced to eat mains. I won’t be back for food, not recommend it.

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Baha last Saturday! Beautiful decor and a relaxing atmosphere and the service was excellent from start to finish. We both had the Sticky bbq burger which was honestly delicious. I was gutted I didn't have room...

Just came in for couple of drinks and some food. We ordered the mango rum punch to start and they were amazing they quickly noticed that we wanted to order food and came straight to the table to take our order. The food was amazing...

First time we had been here and cannot fault the service. Not sure if it was the Manger who served us but nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely and presented well.

Been here a few times with no problem until recently. Ordered drinks from bar young blonde haired lady very snappy and rude obviously didn't want to be there.

Just had the most Amazing Sunday lunch everything was sooo tasty , took my friend for her Birthday she loved it she had the vegetarian option and she said it was honestly the best she’s ever had , we had the beef platter so so...

Had Sunday lunch. Best roast dinner we have eaten away from a home cooked one anywhere. It was fabulous. Veg choices were unusual, but that added to the enjoyment. Brilliant staff, reasonable prices, good atmosphere and a cool experience.

Food was tasteless and we were asked to leave before we had finished our drinks because they wanted the table back even though we had only been sat there for an hour.

Amazing Sunday lunch with massive sharing portions and bottomless gravy. We are picky about our roasts and Yorkshires and we're not disappointed. Staff were friendly and service was good too.

We ate here on Sunday afternoon. Between us we had Sunday lunch, bau buns and Katsu curry. All were fab. Particularly the gravy…..worth a visit just for that Service was great and everyone was lovely. Would definitely recommend and will be back 😁

Excellent food quality I had katsu curry chicken only fault was flavour wasn’t to my taste but it wasn’t horrible it was still nice I’d say It tasted more like a korma. Potion sizes were big tho and we did enjoy our meals

Food was all deep fried and bland. Disappointed, had no flavour to it. The seaweed crisps are kale, and super oily. Bao buns were stale and had no flavour to the chicken

Rudest waitress ever! Very unwelcoming and matter of fact. Would definitely not recommend. Arrived at 8.30 and was asked to wait then told no table.

I'm a massive roast fan so was a little disappointed as wasn't as good as I was hoping but is hard to find any really good reviews for roasts round here so will try somewhere else when we next come up this way. Was filling...

My husband and I visited BAHA for an evening meal during a weekend away in Bowness. The menu was quirky with lots of delicious sounding food and cocktails. I’m gluten free and the allergen labelling was clear and easy to follow on the main menu,...

Six friends attended the Charlotte Tilbury night at Baha £45 for a welcome drink, make up demonstration then 3 course meal. Had a great night, I was delighted to be chosen to be the model for the evening!!! We had a brill time food and...

We called in for a drink & hoping to look at the menu for food or Sunday Lunch. Told no Food available at 2pm. We sat & had a drink. While there I counted 16 ppl inc children being turned away , mostly asking for...

Promised so much, delivered so little!! We love Asian food and living locally decided to give the food here a try. We ordered 5 or 6 starters and sides etc to share between us. The chips were good as were the Japanese chicken tenders, you...

We had a fab night here on Thursday. My work friends organised a little hen doo night for me, and the Baha team was very accommodating. The food was all delicious and the staff were amazing. There were 11 of us all together and not...

Nice dinner with friends at Baha, food was quite good, not outstanding, I had sea bass, skin was not crispy but overall dish was good. Nice place to go with friends but was a bit empty at 6.30 on a Friday pm, and a bit...

Highly disappointed in the service and the food. The venue is very pretty to look as is the presentation of the food however that is as good as it gets. Staff seemed disinterested and food was rather bland. Staff didn’t come to check how the...

Picture if you will, this amazing scenario. I decided to visit a venue that I’ve never been to before, BaHa in Bowness. Lovely venue and a stereotypically good looking team. I was treated with distaine and an overwhelming feeling of ‘ you shouldn’t be here’...

What a hidden gem! Presentation and quality of food was A+. We ordered two main courses and were delighted at the dishes placed in front of us, by a great front of house team which only added further to the experience.

We dropped in for a light lunch before heading home from the lakes. There was lots to choose from on the menu and the lighter bites we chose to share were excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive. Would return.

We came for two of our friends birthday celebrations- and tried to find somewhere nice for a roast dinner !! We couldn’t book online so rang up and a staff member kindly offered us a table right then. We were taken very well care of...

Had a fabulous meal, cocktails were amazing, fairly priced too. Our waitress for the evening Natalia couldn't do enough for us, she is a real credit to the business. Thank you for a lovely evening

On new years eve I arrived with a group of 9 friends to celebrate the evening. We pre booked online via the website in October 2022 and paid £30 per person for the tickets. We were sent an email confirmation and copy of the booking...

Had a really lovely birthday meal and cocktails here, everyone one friendly and helpful. Music was a little to loud but a great night

The menu clearly identified what allergens were not included in the meals I.e. Dairy free and vegan. Upon ordering meals we were informed that some of these dishes did contain some of the allergens that it wasn’t supposed to contain and were not vegan. For...

Superb bar, live saxophonist DJ. Mixture of age groups. Very lively with lots of space to Dance or sit Would definitely go here again.

Visited here for my birthday meal having previously visited on our last trip to Bowness. The food was lovely and plentiful. The drinks were good. The service we found to be a little slow in comparison to previous visits.

Visited at 7pm on a Friday evening, we were seated upstairs in the restaurant and the setting was divine! The window display really stood out. Service was great, speedy without feeling rushed. Starters were okay, mains were much better, really tasty! Plenty on the cocktail...

Booked for Saturday night, great atmosphere. Was very busy but this didn’t effect service. The food was absolutely amazing! We had calamari, bao buns and sirloin steaks, cannot fault a thing. Went downstairs after the meal, the DJ was brilliant. Definitely will be back!

Where to start We reserved our table for 5 ladies and were told to have a drink at the bar until it was ready .. 25 mins later sat down to a poor menu , average food and not good service , then then tried...

Quite expensive for average food and quite soulless venue, but not the worst place we have ever been.

Did not want to put average as the food was tasty, but had better. Felt like some staff were miserable, except the male waiter. Expensive drinks and no service for drinks when in the karaoke booth, after being promised. I guess when your in the...

Very rude waiter who very obvisouly didn't want to be there. We both had what was supposed to be "crispy pork belly" what arrived was soft boiled pork belly on a bed of what tasted like plain instant mash with some sauce threw on top!!!!!!...

We were greeted warmly and sat at our table the food was great we got the sunday roast. The only issue was we were then left for a long time having finished our meal without being asked if we would like another drink or to...

Been going to Bowness for years and this is a great addition as an eating place being different to the other offerings. Service was very good and didn't have to wait long to be given menus and drinks order taken. My wife had Katsu Curry...

Food to die for! The sesame uszu chicken salad was delicious with a side of Asian slaw, fresh & tasty! Hubby had the belly pork which was equally superb. Highly recommended! & then the salted caramel martinis oh my!! Excellent service & the restaurant has...

The restaurant on the top floor is amazing, food was delicious, service great. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was that it was very noisy, loud background music and we couldn,t possibly have any sort of conversation.

We booked a table online which was easy to do. Baha is a bar and restaurant that is on 3 floors. The restaurant is just stunning , the decoration is amazing. We were greeted by the staff who were all lovely and attentive. We were...

The food wasn’t all to our tastes but the restaurant is nice and the staff were good too. Presentation good

We booked at table for 6 + a highchair for 17.15 on a Thursday. We were seated at a table which was completely inappropriate for a highchair (table too high) only to be told no other tables were available. No apology made about this. It...

Natalia was our waitress when visiting Baha and she definitely made the experience. After struggling to choose a mocktail, she asked what flavours we like and ensured that personalised mocktails were put together! She also ensured that our meals were adjusted to our preference, which...

I visited this restaurant with some friends whilst in Windermere and we were amazed by the excellent service we received! We were looked after very well by Natalia and I have to say she has to be one of the best waitresses we’ve ever came...

Avoid. Staff were sullen at first, acted like they all had two day hangovers. Not a great sign to start. Served end-of-barrel dregs as beer, argued it was 'supposed to be like that' until presented with a photo from the brewery's website that proved otherwise....

Stunning restaurant, food and service from Natalia who made our dining experience so enjoyable. Highly recommended and thank you!

Visited with wife while on holiday. Great food, quick service, very much enjoyed. Both had cauliflower steak and various other bits was lovely. Highly recommend

This restaurant is decorated so beautifully I spent ages just taking in my surroundings! The menu has lots of vegan options and the food is delicious, my favourite was the vegan boa buns. Staff very friendly and helpful, great atmosphere and music, and seating areas...

The restaurant decor and ambience is lovely!! Restaurant is on 1st floor and downstairs there was music and a bar. Staff were very nice. Food was poor, we ordered wings and loaded Japanese fries there was no seasoning on the fries it was bland. For...

My boyfriend and I decided to go to Baha for food last night for our anniversary as a few people have been and highly recommended the food; unfortunately, I can not say the same. Our table was booked for 5:15pm, we arrived just after 5pm...

All food is amazing, such a great variety and very different to other restaurants. The atmosphere in both the restaurant and bar is very chilled and relaxed. Staff were approachable and friendly, they went above and beyond to cater to any specific requests. We will...

Natalia and the team are exceptional. They made sure I got everything I needed even if it was last orders. The music as well as the design of the place was pleasant. I enjoyed my time at the restaurant and it was a lovely end...

Contrary to the website, BAHA is NOT dog friendly. We booked a table for dinner at 8pm on Friday night and had 2 small dogs. The website clearly states that 'furry friends are very welcome 7 days a week on the ground floor.' I called...

Can’t wait to visit again for a lively night out, this place has everything Food, cocktails music and Excellent customer Service.

Only came for some drinks on Saturday evening so can't comment on the food. Had a few cocktails, very tasty but quite expensive, I guess you're paying for where you are! Had a live singer on who was really good, great atmosphere!

We saw many reviews about the Sunday dinner being the best around. However, we did NOT agree. The Sunday dinner was OK at best. We would not return as it tasted burnt, and too smoked.

Visited here last night as had seen that they had an extensive choice of gluten free choices. Were not disappointed. The Thai green curry was delicious and s’mores were fab if a little messy! We will definitely be back. Lovely staff and great location

Great restaurant, bar & service. Highly recommend visiting & trying everything on the food and drink menu. Decor is absolutely beautiful, great find in Bowness

Delicious fresh, hot food and good friendly service. Clean and well decorated with a nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

Great atmosphere, staff and food. Food was delivered extremely qucikly too, woudl definitely recommend.

Recently visited with family and Baha was amazing, the restaurant itself is a must see with an alternative interior design, definitely captivating. I had 3 courses, all of which were very tasteful, presented perfectly and were all round good, the price was lower than expected,...

Such a cool place, has a really good vibe to it. Food and drinks were great, highly recommended the salted caramel martini ....was delicious! Service was excellent, all staff so friendly and welcoming. Love the decor of the place and the upstairs dining area is...

This place was great - cocktails very overpriced especially when most of it is ice! Food was phenomenal, service was great. After eating in the restaurant we went downstairs and enjoyed the dj - mash up / remixes, absolutely fantastic! Will definitely return again.

Great place to find on our holidays. Food was great, staff were super friendly and the decor, music & ambience were fab😊. When we visit the Lakes next time, we'd love to book the private karaoke booth! Keep up the great work. Lovely to find...

Partner's king prawn green Thai curry was pronounced a hit. My KFC King (Korean fried chicken burger) was completely tasteless. The additional £2.50 to upgrade the fries to Japanese junk fries seemed to consist mainly of burnt chopped garlic with some miniscule bits of seaweed,...

What a find … absolutely amazing in every way. Food was brilliant, staff friendly and atmosphere really good. Gary Barlow (Tom) … great performance 😊 Highly recommended 👍🏼

I'd love to know the deal with this place and their admittance policy. We came out on an average Saturday night, nothing special. We went to enter and was told by 2 female doorstaff that if we didn't have a booking we couldn't enter as...

The place looks amazing inside and out, after looking at the menu we made a reservation. Staff - Lovely and polite and nothing was too much trouble. Drinks - Cost around the same as what you would usually pay for a cocktail, Pornstar martini nice...

Having reserved a table we entered the restaurant before our booking for an aperitif. Our server was poor. I can only imagine that she was having a bad day. The poor attitude of another female waitress caused us to abandon our intention of dining there....

Have only good things to say about this place except one. Service, politeness of staff, surroundings and food - all, on the whole, excellent. Although, I think for the price, Sea Bass was over priced for what it was, my step daughter had to additionally...
