The restaurant is all about Mauritius. Huge landscape photos cover the walls, and each table is named after a place in Mauritius. If you've been to Mauritius, sitting in this restaurant will take you back there. The food is genuine Mauritian cuisine, it's presented well , cooked to perfection and tastes fantastic. The service is always friendly and professional. I've been to other Mauritian restaurants, but this one is by far my favourite.

We used Flavour of Mauritius for catering services for a Mauritian party 23rd November 2024. The team were amazing and made the whole process for us easy. Food was delicious and the service was great. Our guests loved the vegetable fried rice and sautéed chicken. Salad was fresh and colourful. Would definitely be using you guys again for the next celebration! Keep up the great work.

Maybe the best dining experience I have ever had! Welcomed by Yogeeta who made us feel immediately at home. A delicious array of Mauritian cuisine - if you like Indian/South Asian food, this is for you ; you'll recognize the flavours but have a distinctly unique quality to them. Around 60 different rums available, and a ln extensive drinks list beyond that, as well as catering for vegetarian and vegan diets. Good value for what you get, plus you might get to meet Bear the dog! Lovely atmosphere with a personal touch. I can't recommend highly enough.

I'm still sat here in the restaurant, and it's been so good I wanted to review it right away. Lovely little place, very cosy. The family who run it have been very hospitable and the service brilliant. I had cardamom and fennel seeds tea which was very tasty. For my meal I had chicken curry, rice and roti which was clearly home made with fresh curry paste and ingredients and it was all delicious. Portion size I'd say was spot on, I couldn't quite finish it all but wish I could have! Great find!

Been here once before, food was fantastic. Came back, and suddenly we were not allowed to share 2 starters, 1 main, and 2 sides for a table of 2 (also having beers). Ironically, if we removed the 2 starters and added a chicken curry instead, we would have spent less, and you would have made less margin on a main meat dish. It’s rather archaic to dictate to your customer what they must spend when the restaurant is 90% empty. The hospitality could have been much better here. We would have liked to try a variety of different dishes since the food here is so good, but instead, we will not come back, and not speak kindly of the place to friends. Such a shame. Whilst we weren’t charged, the principle of a 15% service charge is extortionate, for the environment and service style. As we were leaving, the owner interrupted herself from serving the only other table, to reiterate her main course policy, making us feel even more unwelcome, even on the way out. I feel terribly sorry for the lovely waiter who was genuinely kind, warm, and welcoming. I would like to hope the 15% service charges are fairly going to him. It could have been so much better.

I went there once with the family. The food was cooked fresh, however not very tasty and the price was extortionate. £4 for a pair is dhal puri is ridiculously expensive where everywhere in London the price is between £1.50-2.00 It's good to see a local place to eat but I will never go there again due to their prices.

Flavour Of Mauritius was a fantastic. It had a great selection of tasty authentic food, it was very apparent that all food was prepared fresh using fresh ingredients. The staff demonstrated great care, attention, and pride in the food they prepared, and rightly so given its quality - definitely a restaurant with a personal touch. There was also a great range a unique cocktails. The atmosphere was very inviting and relaxing with a tropical vibe. The service was great, and the staff were really friendly.

The food was ok and the service was exceptable but I was charged twice deliberately. After finishing our meal I asked for the bill. We got the bill and payment was taken via card machine at the table. about 5 minutes later another waitress came to our table and said that the payment had failed and could i go to the till and try again. As I was on a date I quickly did as asked. I tapped my card again and the payment was made. when I got my statement from my bank BOTH payments were taken but for different amounts. When I went back to the restaurant, the owner said prove that you didn't order more food or drinks. I luckily have both receipts but my bank said they can't help. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT.

We felt welcome from the minute we arrived. Staff were happy to explain the menu and even the origins of the dishes and cooking styles. We kept to simple choices including potato fritters, lamb samosas, sautéed chicken and upside down rice bowl. All were cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The homemade chilli paste is a must try, but beware of the heat! We bought some to take home with us. We drove 3 hours from Swansea to stay in Reading for a couple of nights, but would happily drive the 3 hours again just to visit this place alone for a second time, it was that good.

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. Would say if you're having curry watch out for the spiciness as it will likely be one more higher than you bargain for (mild being medium, medium being spicy ect). Otherwise, great meal but usually ends up being around £20-£30 per person.

I brought my wife here for her birthday having read the reviews and an article somewhere. We arrived on a Sunday evening and we appeared to be the only people there meaning we had the full attention of the waiter who was very friendly and passionate about the food they were serving. We asked which were the most traditional Mauritian dishes and went with the choices recommended to us. All in all the food was very tasty, the spicing was good and flavoursome but unfortunately there just wasn’t enough of it. The portion sizes were just too small for the price. I was quite shocked when the bill arrived at over £140. Whilst I would love to return and try more dishes on the menu I just feel that there are much better value small independent restaurants in Reading with just as good food. The 12.5% added service charge annoys me as well. Whilst I would happily of tipped as I always do when I am happy with the service I feel that it is my prerogative and I should make the choice how much.

After watching the semi final England we were quite hungry. After some debating we walked in the restaurant as we never had Mauritius food and we were honestly a bit worried. Group of 7 !! What a nice lovely colourful restaurant. They have a Sisha lounge too. Food was fantastic, along with their own Mauritius beer. Great customer service and very polite and helpful staff. The chef was very accommodating with our request of food. I would say this is one of the best restaurant in Reading I've eaten. Dishes ordered squirrel really tasty and the gravy top notch. Octopus. Rabbit, ragouille, dads lamb, mix mum , chicken livers Highly recommended

We booked this restaurant based on online reviews and we definitely made the right choice. The menu selection was very extensive, the food was top quality with wonderful flavours and the right amount of spice. The hosts were extremely helpful and were very friendly, taking time to talk about the dishes and making sure we got exactly what we needed. For starters we had octopus croquettes and spiced chicken livers. For mains we had the "Dads Special" and the Goat Curry, accompanied by mixed roti, rice and steamed vegetables. Would recommend this place to anyone who loves spicy food.

2 of us visited 5th Jun 24. Unfortunately had quite a dissapointing experience today. The server was very friendly and the restaurant is beautifully designed. The main issue was firstly the goat curry was rock hard and secondly the price is insulting. For almost £90 the meal left us hungry with tiny portions served (that's a teaspoon by the way for comparison). The rice portion for £5 was so minimal I had to order another. Quite shocked to see a 15% service charge too. Can't think of many places in the UK where they have that. We frequently dine in Reading and Central London and I can honestly say the quantity of food is significantly higher in London for the price you pay. Was really thinking this was a nice place to take people, but after those prices no way! Left a bit of a bitter taste... Additional notes after restaurant comment: thanks for your response. We know the items left on the plate were bones hence that why we ate the seriously tough meat and left the bones on the plate. We've eaten goat curry in many restaurants, on the bone, and many of them are well cooked and soft. We did actually mention the extortionate service charge to the waiter but sadly he never mentioned it was optional.

They adorned our table with rose petals and had a card waiting for us at our table wishing us a happy anniversary! The manager Hema was warm, welcoming and happy to chat with us and make us feel at home and relaxed. Highly recommend the cocktails, which were delicious. Food also excellent, we'll definitely be returning to try more sometime in the future, although we would happily come back just for an evening of cocktails. What impressed me the most however was the service and friendliness of the staff. I was surprised the dining area wasn't busier on a Friday night - the locals are sleeping on this place! Perfect for a dinner + drinks date if you fancy something exotic and a cuisine you may not have tried before!

Food was okay not tasty enough, but very rude behaviour. It felt that she owns the customers. Not a good hospitality. Nothing was told by the person serving. Second, a small line hiding somewhere in the big book like menu which is not even visible to anyone easily. Finally, how can you control the appetite of a person and ordering a customer to order more when the customer wasn't interested to order food because of the valid reason already told. This not how the restaurant works. We were politely moving away by not saying anything about the food, but when someone wants to bang heads with you, then the best answer is food is not tasty. So, long story short, you cannot control the appetite of a person and neither you can order someone. Restaurant is about hospitality, kindness, and customer feedback.

We were welcomed in and seated promptly. The server was very friendly and happy to answer all our questions about various menu items as well as give us some insights into Mauritian culture. We tried some Mauritian cocktails which were highly recommended and didn't disappoint. For starters we shared lamb samosas and octopus croquettes. It all came out nicely hot and served with a flavoursome chutney. All was tasty and the croquettes were especially delightful paired with the chutney. Our table had a selection of cooked to order mains including rabbit salmi, fish vindaye and lamb curry. For sides we shared tomato salad, rice, mix roti and paratha. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied with their meal. My lamb curry was seasoned well and had a good hit of spice. I initially thought the rice portion could be bigger since we shared it between 2 but paired with the rotis it was adequately filling. The ROTIS!? STAR OF THE SHOW in my humble opinion. Super soft and freshly prepared perfect for mopping up the sauces. Will definitely be back again to try out the extensive rum selection and dessert since had no more stomach room left for those delights this time

The place was quiet but it did give us a chance to chat with the owner/chef(?) who was very friendly. The food was delicious and I could have eaten a second helping of the vegetarian noodles. There were a lot of options to choose from and things that are a bit unusual like taro fritters so it was definitely fun to order loads of various things to try. I’d highly recommend trying and will be going back to try more dishes!

Disappointed with the quality of food Rice cold, Jackfruit Curry tasteless, starters burnt. The service was poor £30 service charge added to bill, Pina Colada £10 each also tasteless. Overpriced food would not return to this establishment.

A real gem for reading. One of the few left indépendent places. The food is incredibly flavoursome with many vegan and vegetarian options. There is the option to chose between hot and mild for each dish. The service is impeccable and very friendly and it's also affordable. If you're looking for a more intimate setting there is also the option to hire a cute little booth inside. I truly recommend this place. Hopefully Reading people will keep supporting them!

We made a reservation for dinner and were greeted by name. It turned out we were the only customers in but couldn’t have been made more welcome. The service was fantastic and the food was divine. We didn’t even get started on the rum selection!

Wow! What a place this is. The food was fantastic, kind of cross of Indian, African and French. An amazing culinary mashup. We didn't know what to have but the menu sounded delicious. The owners helped us pick a selection of fried starters - with fresh chilli sauce and some Mauritian mains - upside down bowl, goat curry and an octopus curry. Completely stuffed by the end of it. The owners (Yogeetha and Mark) are a lovely pair, switching between chatty best friends, to barman, to waitress, to chefs - who made our evening extra special. Definitely check this place out as it deserves to be hailed as one of the best restaurants in Reading.

I visited while in the area for the day and had a lovely lunch. The coffee was really nice and there was a great selection of sweets treats. I also got some scones and quiche to take away which were amazing. A really friendly relaxing atmosphere, can't wait to visit again.

Fantastic evening at this lovely little venue. First visit for us and we’ll be back. The team there went above and beyond. It was my daughters birthday and they made her feel really special. We went along to the ‘Brush Party’, it was the first one they held there and we 100% recommend, if you get the chance, go along, it’s lots of fun and really absorbing.
