The Banyan Tree in Gedling

We went last night the food was amazing as always and service was amazing - love this place ❤️

The restaurant is tired with damaged tables and in need of some maintenance. Food was average at best. Lamb chops were tough and way overcooked. Service was slow. Most were friendly apart from the guy who bought our main course out. He needs some customer service training.

4 if us went on a Saturday night, first time back since COVID and it was a delight! Service excellent, ambience great, food was amazing... Honestly can't fault it. We will definitely not leave it so long next time!

Only had a couple of takeaways, but it has been great service and lovely food.

Food was lovely, although they did get our order wrong!

Loved the food, the service, well maintained decor. Even they are open till quite late. We are going back.

We haven't been here since before covid, and wow, what a shock the staff was amazing apart from watching one member of staff constantly wiping his sweat on his sleeves and arms as he was serving and then to my surprise rearranging his genitals before serving the table next to us.🙈🙈 . We had a set meal for two, which is still a reasonable price but not served in the same way as in the past (a little messy) but like I say the staff were still 100%

We've not been for a while, but will be back soon. The food is delicious and beautifully presented on the plate. The front of house staff are very attentive. Good value too.

Had a lovely meal with friends food good at a reasonable price to

Fabulous food - they now do veg/vegan thali - great environment, lovely staff, loads of parking. Highly recommended. ………….

We have been tonight for a meal and it was absolutely lovely (well done to the chef ) and the waiters and staff who was wonderful and very attentive ❤️

We booked last Friday for a friends birthday. Had a first class meal in a pleasant atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and prompt service. They made our night by bringing a surprise chocolate cake for our friends birthday out at the end Thank you to all your wonderful staff

Brilliant night,great food very helpful friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us who even came out with a cake for our grandsons eight birthday and sang happy birthday to him,very clean and comfortable inside,a great big thankyou to the Banyan tree staff for a lovely time,very highly recommend,we will definitely be back.

Come here New Year’s Eve 2023 young staff very friendly food good only thing what let this down. Was the manager owner with the grey suit on wasn’t friendly bit of an attitude far from friendly. Don’t deserve nice customers manager let the night down needs a chill pull

Went new years eve had the banquet for 2 The food was fabulous Enjoyed every bite ...this was the first time I've been ...even though I've drove by numerous times ...I will definitely be going back...reasonably priced as banquet worked out £55 for two absolutely would recommend

Had a take away, ordered online for 6pm collection, collected on time, not often I get this often a delay. Chicken tikka masala and chicken biriyani along with rice and naan. Specified gluten free which was confirmed on collection and on the boxes. The food was excellent, well cooked and plenty of it. We’ll definitely be going again.

We visited on Christmas even 2022Great place, staff are very knowledgeable about their restaurant and menu. Former Little Chef. Very nice and interesting decor. Very reasonable prices and a wide range of menu choices. Owner very hospitable and welcoming. Very warm welcome given to my wife's assistance/service dog Update: We visited again on Christmas Eve 2023 as we were again staying in Nottingham for the Christmas period. and the food and service was as good as previously. Well worth a visit ! Plenty of parking

Absolutely lovely place, booked for daughters 16th birthday was not disappointed, staff was very friendly, service was amazing and food was gorgeous , even brought my daughter a cake out for everyone to share which added that extra touch. Will definately be booking again and highly recommend

We had a delivery for my son’s birthday last night. Food was amazing as usual. Food was fresh and plentiful. Would definitely recommend The Banyan Tree. The owner goes out of his way to make sure everyone gets the right food for their dietary requirements. My son is a vegetarian and my daughter is coeliac and she could have anything from the menu apart from the naan breads! Love this place. Will definitely order from here again!

Great selection. Food really good and good value.. Service excellent. A great team - very well organised, professional and hospitable.

Great staff..love the food..they even gave me a birthday cake with candles thx for a memorable night

Ordered take out and wasn't disappointed. Very tasty and plentiful. The only downer is there isn't delivery to our village so I had to collect. Will definitely be eating in the restaurant soon.

Curry had no flavour worst curry I have ever had

Went with family members for a 70th birthday 🎂. Food was delicious and staff were very friendly 😋 1st time there and we go back again ..

Dreadful service from chewing staff who were smirking and ignoring customers. Very rude and abrupt. Food was greasy, too much fat and oil. Chicken was chewy and old.

another great curry. we had ordered takeaway. This place is so good. The dinning area was packed soldi, the waiting area was packed. that's how good this place is.

Have had take out plenty of times, first time dining in, loved it, great staff, great food and a great atmosphere! Will be dining in again soon!

What can i say? Amazing! Service was brilliant, the waiter was funny and accommodating. And even brought out some reading glasses so i could read the menu. The food was awesome, and the service was second to none. Will deffo return. brilliant!

Came to dine with my friend, had tandoori king prawns, was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. I would like to thank the management for surprising my friend with a birthday cake, and sambuca for us both, will be back very soon.

Came to Banyan tree for a family meal, food was amazing especially the sharing platter for two 😊. Compliments to the chef, we all cleared our plates, there was definitely more than enough. We had an amazing time, food and drinks flowing, and a good family catch up. Would like to say a big thank you to the owner and the staff, made the nite more so enjoyable, 😊

Superb! from the moment we arrived and took to our seats. Fantastic selection of wonderful freshly cooked dishes. Amazing service delivered by all staff. Courteous and pleasant. I must have driven past the restaurant hundreds of times, each time saying “we must try it”. Well, don’t be a fool like me, book a table and try it yourself.

Cutting costs. Prawns are cheap. Meat and sauce no frills.. Veg options don’t have a range of veg in them. Naan breads are tiny ….it’s just flour and water guys?? Service wasn’t welcoming or sincere. Place has gone down hill.

Placed an order and they missed two items off. Asked us to prove they got our order wrong. After years of using this restaurant, we won’t be ordering from them again nor visiting their premises.

The food was bland and had no taste at all. When the waiter asked why the food wasn’t eaten I explained the situation. He called over the manager who was extremely rude and could not take any criticism.

Amazing night out with my girls! Loved the food and service was great as usual. Staff was very attentive quick. it was nice to see the place so busy!

Abit disappointed this time the sauce for mains was the same thay made a big pan and added different heat to them this has not happened befor but in there defence it was packed out

Food was absolutely delicious. I had the Goan fish curry

Found this gem of a restaurant by accident on Saturday evening and called in on the off chance that a table was available. We were found a table and by the time we left the whole Restaurant was full - seemed very popular. Not surprised as food was excellent and a little different to usual Indian restaurant menus. We had a really lovely meal and customer service was very good too. Would thoroughly recommend.

Totally dry chicken tikka, rubbery naan breads …. Worst we’ve had from anywhere. Like we’d been given leftovers from someone else’s dinner. Ordered on line for collection ant 5.30 (so not a busy time). Only needed chicken tikka and naan breads so expected freshly cooked and good quality. So very disappointed. We’ve had good food from Banyan Tree in the past so very surprised and hugely disappointed with todays experience. Should have cooked our own at home! Will try Mapperley restaurants in future.

Staff excellent, place very nice. Starter was superb ( sharing platter ). Main courses OK but the Tikka Masala tasted a bit tomartory. 99% of places when you order cider put ice in your glass and give you the bottle/can. Had to ask for glass of ice! Small details but these are the things that make you return.

Great food if a little pricey, I suppose you get what you pay for. Limited beer selection, but its about the food and that was well above average.

Always a great meal at the Banyan Tree. Great service as per usual.

Generally good. Nice staff, good staff , expensive drinks

Absolutely brilliant takeaway. I asked for onion bargess, chicken tikka massala and it's what I got. Cooked to perfection. Could not have been better.

Lovely decor, clean facilities, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, gorgeous food.

Great service Great food Great staff

No faults with our meal & service tonight for our party of 8. Generous portions & really tasty. Good choice for veggies & vegans too. Spaciousness, nice temperature & decor. 100% recommend to curry lovers!

Lovely place, friendly staff. Amazing food, great service, even sorted a cake dessert out for us all on our daughters birthday ! Looking forward to our next visit.

Absolutely lovely. The ambiance of the restaurant was very welcoming and the dining area was very clean and well presented. The staff were very attentive, welcoming, communicative and approachable. The menu had a good variety and was informative. The food was excellent and both myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed it. The only reason I have given 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was a long wait between our starters and the mains. The restaurant was, however, fairly busy at the time and the staff communicated with us about the wait and apologised for it. I will definitely be coming here again!

First time at The Banyan Tree and wasn't disappointed at all. A beautiful place with a lovely atmosphere and the food was absolutely fantastic,very tasty and presented well. Staff were lovely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely will be back for the best curry ever!!

Great curry and food, but the highlight has to be Ish who (every time we visit) completes the experience with his humour and welcoming attitude! Fantastic customer service from him and quite honestly carries the whole atmosphere with his charisma! Thank you for such a great experience.

It was recommended to me and i would absolutely go again, probably soon, the place looked lovely, the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was fab! Decently priced too!

Celebrating my birthday, with family and the food was amazing, very fresh and came out really hot. The staff was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. The owner even brought me a birthday cake out, with sparkler, what a great end to a lovely evening. Will definitely be returning.

Wow, what an amazing experience we had this evening. We where greeted with a friendly and polite waiter and even the owner came to introduce himself. The service is 5*, we didn't wait long to be served with a selection of drinks and fine wines and then on to our table. Whilst at the table the waiter pulled out chairs and seated us with our napkins on our laps what an amazing experience this was. Now on to the food, it was absolutely delicious, it was freshly prepared and served hot. the curry was amazing nice and full of flavour, Peshawari naan was tasty and generous in size. Even the own catered for my 3 year old child as she's a fussy eater with the classic chips and nuggets. Overall this restaurant is amazing, friendly and polite staff with a very professional owner. Suitable for all occasions. 5* service and great quality food l. I will definitely be returning.

Lovely service and food! Korma was really nice and creamy and not a long wait either! Nothing was too much trouble and really reasonable pricing too! Will definitely return!

The food is always a 10/10 and the staff are always friendly and welcoming ! Service was also great and fast. The staff never fail to make us laugh and were very kind. Will for sure visit again in the future!

Treated to a meal for my Birthday following a recommendation. Lots to chose from on the menu. Friendly staff. Good portion sizes. All hot and full of flavour. Will be back again

Fantastic Indian restaurant! Come here all the time with family and friends ! Highly recommend! ++++

Come here every week & always faultless. Food & staff amazing. Recommend to anyone who loves Indian food!

Myself and partner enjoyed our food however after witnessing how the owner aggressively raised his voice and shouted at a customer (and his staff) I would not recommend this restaurant.

I have been coming here for years with family and friends and the staff and the owner are second to none. The food is to die for and couldn't recommend anymore

Never again! Have not been there for 10 years and will Never go back. Not sure who paid you to write those amazing reviews or you never had any quality food and good service in you life probably. This is place is far from fine dining! Waiters come and go to your table in bunches, like 5 were servicing us on Valentine’s Day 2023. Only manager made and eye contact and somehow cared. The rest do not make any eye contact and look tired and fed up. Food is supermarket quality ( not joking) overprice and takes ages to get cooked and service is below 0. I never write reviews for restaurants unless I want to either warn people or really recommend a good place! In this care warning do not water your time and money.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Staff were very good and polite, food was very nice and bot badly priced.

Nice food n nice kingfisher.small portions of rice tho.

Appalling, expensive and tasteless. I ordered a medium hot dish with chicken for my partner and I ordered tandoori prawns for myself. Usually when you order rice there is enough for two. A side order of onion barjis and that was order meal. When I...

Excellent food Excellent staff - couldn't do enough to help. Good surroundings - although a flick around with a duster would be a good idea, the windowsill had a covering of dust. Verry poor cleanliness in the disabled toilet - I lifted the seat to...

Another fantastic curry everything was spot on

Excellent customer service. Delicious food. Beautiful place, staff are attentive to all your needs .

Service was quite slow and quite noisy but food is nice 👍

By far my favourite Indian for both takeaway and dine in, service is great and never had a bad meal. I also used to frequently visit the Mangrove in Mansfield which is the same team and equally as good.

Never fails with the standard of food here always excellent and great service.

We arrived at opening time for a end of year / christmas work dinner - it was extremely cold and the heaters were not turned on till much later when other customers arrived. Flavours were not rich and in my opinion probably a little too much on the menu to make good food.

Not been here for many years but was not disappointed at all still as good as the first time we ever went...excellent service excellent food and lovely atmosphere, well worth a visit.

Managed to get a table last minute as another restaurant let us down.Great service and lovely food.(we had the meal for 4) plus extras for the rest of our table.Good portions,chicken dishes were great,granddaughters said it was the best chicken tikka masala they had tasted.😊

If you’re disabled, and require you’re assistance dog, this place is not right for you! It is illegal to discrimine against disabled people and refuse entry to assistance dogs. We came here for a special occasion as this used to be my favourite restaurant, and I will no longer be returning. I am appalled and furious.

Slight delay with the pick up and no real area to wait that wasn't separate from the people dining in, but food was in the pricey side but excellent and waiter apologising for getting so busy and the delay... Can't complain if the demand is so high, can only mean one thing about the quality of the food.. top drawer

Great food, great service keep it up !!

We ordered online, and got one of the meals wrong (my fault). Banyan tree couldn't have been more helpful. They sent a new meal to our house (in Ravenshead) so Quickley. All the food was delicious and the whole family loved it. The service was...

Wow well the best Indian we have ever had , was delicious , the staff are super nice and attentive we will be back Thankyou

We were at the Banyan Tree last week for our birthday meal. We have been going there for Birthdays, Engagements for many years, love every time we visit. The owner and staff are incredibly lovely. Thank you to all. See you soon xx

Great food and staff that are friendly and helpful.

5 stars all around had a great night. The service was fast and very friendly. The food was delicious.

Excellent food and impeccable service

This is the worst I have ever had rang for a delivery said one hour that’s ok one hour 30min later rang them again and they said we tried to deliver I ask for the address they got they had the total wrong address so...

Called in on recommendation without a booking, what an experience. Right from us walking in we were made welcome, the waiter was amazing, and I can't speak highly enough of the service and quality of food. This will be my restaurant of choice for Indian food in the future.

We have been going here for years and we are never disappointed. Even though it was a busy Sunday evening we was made welcome the service was friendly and efficient and the food was amazing cooked fresh and so tasty. My favourite is the tikka masala mirchi.Thank you to all the hard working staff for a lovely evening 🙂 Totally recommend 👍

Relatives treated me to dinner at the Banyan Tree…a very enjoyable evening. Shrimp curry was most excellent! Service was very supportive and friendly.

Waste of £40. Ordered chicken tikka masala x2 with all the extras. And it smelt and tasted cheesy? Even looked cheesy! Tasted like it had come out of a jar from tescos Couldn’t even eat it after only having one mouthful.

We visited for the first time last Wednesday to celebrate a birthday. We had a lovely time, the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Thank you for making us so welcome and we really appreciated the complimentary birthday treat! We will definitely be back.

Thought we would try this place tonight for the first time. I wish I could comment on the quality of the food, but after waiting an hour and a quarter we left not having eaten.

Went for the first time tonight, lovely restaurant, lovely food and lovely staff, would definitely go again

Had a beautiful meal here last night, the food was great and the staff were amazing. Will definitely be going back. Read the previous reviews and don’t agree with the negative reviews in any way. Thanks guys for a great night

We have visited and reviewed before; after a poor experience a few years ago we had not been back but decided to try again. The venue has the potential to be a really lovely restaurant and the food has always been good. However at our...
