The Banyan Tree in Central Bedfordshire

Got a few take aways and eaten once in the restaurant itself. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend.

I visited before for lunch with my dad and as we’re both Italian it was nice to find somewhere authentic. When I went for dinner (I have coeliac disease/I’m gluten free) I forgot to ask for gluten free pasta. When it arrived I realised, so apologised and asked for the GF version. The staff replaced it and apologised to me, I explained it’s me who should be apologising! I’d taken one bite before I’d realised, and the waiter came to check I was ok. They were so kind and didn’t charge me extra so I gave a decent tip. They allowed me to bring a cake, as it was for a birthday, and they brought the cake out singing Happy Birthday!

FOOD - 5⭐️ The food was amazing, everything was tasty and delicious- and for someone who lived in turkey for 7 years it tasted the exact same. The portion sizing was quite big and I could have done with less chips with the lamb chops. SERVICE -4⭐️ we went on a Friday and it got quite busy. We had a lovely blonde English girl serving us who was very social and polite alongside making us feel very welcome here and not rushing us. Alongside her serving was a young girl lad who was again a polite chappy who had all the same qualities as her. I had to knock a star off of the service tho due to the amount of time the manager spent outside smoking. We were in for no long than an hour and 1/2 and he must of been outside 3 or 4 times whilst the young waiters were left to do everything. When he came in the subtle smell of smoke lingered too which slightly put us off. We also always tip in cash for the staff who served us the most to keep for themself and we saw them put in all in a pot so the main waitress/ waiter probably didn’t get they exact tip from us which was very disappointing due to them doing such a good job. When we come back to leighton- we will be sure to return!

Tasty, hot and really fresh food. These guys work so hard and they’re always really busy which says it all! This place works for the whole family as you can buy everything from fish and chips to burgers and fried chicken. Best takeaway in LB!
