Went for dinner with a friend and had Dylan as our server. He was absolutely 10/10. I wanted something with more sauce and he went out of his way to provide it. I am a chef and I was so impressed by the food and also Dylan’s server skills. A very talented team and I have a feeling Dylan in particular will be a big name in the future. Thank you so much!

We had lunch at Coconut Tree in Bath a few days ago, and it was such a lovely experience. The food was absolutely spot on, so flavourful and delicious. What really made it even better was Lalin, who served us. He was brilliant, so friendly, attentive, and made us feel really well looked after. Honestly, everything about the visit was perfect. We’ll definitely be going back again soon!

Great food however was charged £7 for a pint that never arrived (upon checking bill the next day), food was brought to table and waiters did not know what it was, and bill took about 15mins to arrive after asking for it. All fine bar the £7 over charge - which beyond being robbery I could have used that pint to soothe some of the chilli!! 😂

All the food was served so cold, and while the service was generally good, I felt uncomfortable when I was told that some people don’t have the opportunity to eat, yet I had leftovers. Seemed somewhat unnecessary and impolite.

The food was very bland so we were quite disappointed. The food was incomparable to other British Sri Lankan restaurants like Hoppers or Kolamba. The service was slow and it was difficult to get the attention of the staff. The portion sizes were quite small and the menu didn’t mention that it was small plates / how many items you should get per person. I was excited to try this place as I love Sri Lankan food but it didn’t live up to expectations.

We had the privilege of dining at Coconut Tree, a Sri Lankan restaurant in Bath, and as someone from Sri Lanka now living in Switzerland, this was a real treat. It’s always exciting to find a place that serves food from my native land, and we were eager to immerse ourselves in the experience. The ambience of the restaurant was vibrant and welcoming, with a lively atmosphere that sets the tone for an enjoyable evening. However, there were a couple of points that left us slightly disappointed. The hoppers, one of Sri Lanka’s signature dishes, were unfortunately not as authentic as we had hoped. Authenticity is key, especially for a dish so iconic, and while we understand adjustments may be made for a Western audience, we feel the essence of Sri Lankan cuisine should be preserved. You can still maintain authenticity while tweaking spice levels for milder palates if needed, rather than creating a fusion that might detract from the original flavors. Another small issue was the timing of service: the food arrived before the drinks, whereas we would have preferred the drinks to come first to fully savor the experience. That said, the restaurant manager went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant time. Their attentiveness and commitment to our satisfaction made a big difference, and the staff overall were friendly and professional. The food itself, aside from the hoppers, was undeniably tasty and beautifully presented, which we greatly appreciated. One suggestion I would offer is to incorporate Sri Lankan music into the dining experience rather than reggae. It would add an extra layer of authenticity and help immerse diners in Sri Lankan culture. Overall, Coconut Tree is a great spot to enjoy Sri Lankan food in Bath. The flavors are enjoyable, the staff are excellent, and the ambience is lively. With a little more focus on sticking to the authenticity of Sri Lankan cuisine, this restaurant has the potential to shine even brighter. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bath who wants to explore the flavors of Sri Lanka!

The Coconut Tree in Bath offers a lovely ambience that creates a warm and welcoming dining experience. It was enjoyable to try their Sri Lankan-inspired dishes, though we found some elements of the food to be less authentic than expected. The hoppers, for example, included beetroot, which added a pink color and a slightly unusual taste. As fans of traditional hoppers, we found this a bit disappointing. Additionally, the sambal didn’t seem as fresh as it could have been, which was another letdown. That said, the rest of the food was decent overall. One highlight of the evening was the cocktails—they were excellent and definitely a big plus for the restaurant. Another standout was the general manager, who was incredibly friendly, kind, and a pleasure to interact with. Some members of the staff seemed very motivated and enthusiastic, but a few others appeared less engaged, which detracted from the overall experience. A happier and more consistent attitude among the staff would certainly improve things. Despite these minor issues, we really enjoyed our time and would recommend visiting The Coconut Tree. We look forward to returning one day!

The service was pretty good and the price/performance ratio was good. The food didn't appeal to my taste. I ordered the roasted black pig and the more classic egg burrito. If the burrito was sour, I wouldn't think it was that delicious, and the black pig was a little too old and spicy. The mouth is heavily seasoned

Tuvimos una gran comida pre-teatro en el Coconut Tree en Bath. Elegimos unos 5 o 6 de los platos y estaban frescos, picantes y deliciosos. Los cócteles eran excelentes (uno de ellos es espectacular! ). Es muy céntrico - situado en Bath y perfecto si vas al teatro o al rugby. También es excelente para veganos y vegetarianos. Mantienen la presentación sencilla y callejera -estilo alimenticio- que supongo que es como pueden mantener los precios tan muy razonables. ¡Disfrútalo!

We visited this place recently (Oct 24) and had the worst dining experience. Amount was very small to the price they are charging. Took nearly 45 mins to serve the food which were standard dishes from their menu. Most of the dishes we ordered (including Hoppers and Eggplant mojo) were cold and stale which gave us a sense that they were prepared a day or more before and came straight out of the fridge. The manager came up with all unconvincing excuses. never again. Stay away from this place.

The food is really incredible here, and very unique. I’m pretty sure anything on the menu will be great, and all dishes are full of flavor and spice. They place was pretty empty on a Monday night although they kept telling people they were holding tables for their reservations. The Black Pork dish was one of the best South Asian dishes I’ve ever had and very unique to experience pork with this flavor profile as it’s not very common on Southern Asian menus. Goat and potatoes, Dahl, fried paneer cheese in sauce, and the thing with meat and shredded roti were all hits. Interestingly the hoppers that they really hype up were the only things I personally wouldn’t get again, but it’s worth a try if you’ve never had it. The food is served as a small plate sharing menu. They say that 3-4 is the suggested amounts of plates per person although I think 3 is more than enough per person IMO. We didn’t get to try the drinks menu but they have some great deals if you buy two drinks of the same category.

Very disappointed. The atmosphere was great, we ordered our dishes where the service was a little clunky. Some of our food turned up which was really nice, 2 dishes were missing. I then politely asked for over an hour where the remaining 2 were and the waiter basically said they weren’t coming and he’d refund them. Usually I wouldn’t care but we were looking forward to them and I don’t understand why the waiter just lied for over an hour where he eventually said there was a mix up, why make us wait? We wouldn’t have cared if we were told straight away. Even when we asked for the bill, it wasn’t brought to us so in the end we just walked out and paid. Such a shame.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. They worked very hard to make sure we had everything we needed. We hadn’t all eaten Sri Lankan food before so they were so helpful to explain what was on offer. The food was incredibly delicious. The toilets were spotless as was the whole place.

Lovely food and drinks and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately was let down by price and service. We'd gone specifically there because of a special offer which the staff seemed very reluctant to honour, doing what the could to get our of it. Service was also incredibly slow, no one checked on us during our meal for s food check or drinks order. In the end they half heartedly honoured the special offer that their website was advertising but the night out was a lot dearer than anticipated, it put quite a dampener on the end of the evening. Food and drinks great so was a real shame the service was such a let down. I only noticed when home that they'd added service charge on which I'm cross I didn't spot as I would have removed that. Edit: I emailed the venue on the night of my visit, and then again 2 weeks ago subsequent to the below request. No response so far...

The food is the reason I'm giving 4 stars - it was very good (and amazing that it was bottomless). But the service and atmosphere did not live up unfortunately. We booked for a bottomless brunch at lunchtime on a Saturday, but it was veryyyy slow. Each order was put in as a "regular" drinks order, meaning your 90 minutes of bottomless was significantly slowed. Despite it being very quiet as well, they really took their time to serve us. The atmosphere was non-existent also (it being so quiet didn't help). This place needs a bit of TLC, then it would definitely be 5 star!

We popped in with some friends for dinner. The food overall was good, quite spicy. The service was chaotic. Food came out in dribs and drabs, the staff seemed generally confused. It may be that it is supposed to give it the edgy street market feel, but it does not. Our friends had almost finished their food before ours arrived. Before the food arrived we asked for some more drinks and were told that we had to relinquish our table in 15 minutes, to which we politely pointed out that we had not yet had hardly any of our food. She went off and when she returned to take the drinks order we had almost finished eating. Two dishes also came cold, so not cooked fresh as you wait, as the menu tells us. There was a waiter who was doing his best and was very good but overall it was mild carnage.

incredible restaurant / menu! its not every day you get to try Sri Lankan cuisine, and it was a fantastic experience all the way through. the menu (including cocktails) is creative and offers a refreshing variety. as we had a hard time choosing from many vegan & vegetarian options, the super friendly staff recommended to simply put together a "best-of" for us. best decision ever - we received a full table of different veggie delights. colourful, rich, with a variety of tasty coconut curries, pickles, glazed paneer cubes, rice dishes, salsas and much more. we finished every last grain of rice, because it was just fantastic, and happily rolled out on the street. 10/10 recommended!

We visited the restaurant through recommendation. It did not disappoint. Our table was in the most poignant position. Very very busy throughout our time here. The staff were vibrant, On point . And so friendly. So much so after our bottomless brunch .. we decided to stay and enjoy some of the coconut trees more premium cocktails. THE FOOD Wow!! The flavours. Not just curry's.. no!! I'm a carnivore. But my waiter recommended some of the vegan options. They were delicious. Cooked to perfection. pumpkin.. lentils... etc... My favourite: Calamari- it was amazing!!! Crisp.. and tender... I'm fussy when it comes to squid. To top it off the ambiance was so relaxing . With a good vibe of music..I will definitely be coming back. Maybe not for the bottomless brunch , it was amazing, That was a taster. The prices are so reasonable . The portion sizes are huge!!! Iv been in hospitality for 30 years. They are doing something right.

We came here the 3rd weekend in July for a hen party brunch. Booked months in advance and booked a specific hen package – which changed between booking and the date of visit – however, the restaurant said they would honour what we had originally booked. When we arrived we were told we would have to sit on separate tables, which wasn’t what we had arranged. After a whole hoo-hah of issues with different tables, we asked to move to the biggest table they had (which would fit us all), and were told that when the family occupying the table had left, we should be able to move and in the meantime to order drinks. Four of the party ordered prosecco, which, upon arrival tasted flat. At this point, everyone was less than impressed and with it being a hen party, we were rather disappointed, especially for the bride to be. It then transpired that actually they had run out of prosecco (which makes me think the drinks could have been watered down as opposed to being flat) – however, we were offered some pink fizzy stuff instead, which luckily everyone was happy with. They moved us to the bigger table and got the drinks going, I think in an attempt to win us over after such a failed first impression – of course this effort was welcomed. The food here is absolutely incredible and the portions are more than fair, I actually cannot recommend the food enough! It turns out that all the FoH staff were on their first few shifts and that the manager had been brought in from another location at very short notice. Though this did show, they did a tremendous job at looking after us and rectifying the disastrous initial situation – I should say, that a few of us were verbal with our dissatisfaction and did sort of put our foot down with our expectations – I think if we hadn’t have done this, our level of service would not have improved to the level which it did, but I can’t say that for sure. Nevertheless, we all ended up having a fabulous time and I would for sure return to The Coconut Tree – thank you for having us and good luck 😊

We arrived here without a reservation and that was no problem. It wasn't that busy. We were assigned a table and they brought drawing supplies for my daughter. We were given a menu and only when we asked about portions were we also shown the children's menu. That menu is great with various dishes including vegetables (something that is often forgotten in other restaurants). We chose the option to let them choose the dishes. They recommend 4 per person, but that's too many. Better with 3 per person or 5 for both. The food is well prepared, tasty and varied. The service was also good, but there was one major drawback. At checkout an optional 10% was added to the bill!! service costs added. Without any warning or anything like that. You can expect this in other countries, but in England everyone gets a decent wage. Then charge another 10% WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS? That's a scam. So enjoy the food and the service, but be sure to check the bill!

I would have given 4 stars overall if it wasn't for the hidden "optional" 10% service fee added to the bill. The food and drinks were delicious (with lots of vegetarian options and a decent healthy kids menu), and the service was friendly and helpful. However, when we got the bill, I noticed that an "optional" 10% service fee had been added to the bill without our prior consent. When I asked to have this removed, that was done, but then I was asked if the service was not up to scratch, and if it was, why weren't we paying the service fee. I thought it was strange to be quizzed about an optional fee, so I explained that we are not Americans and this is not America. We left without any goodbyes or thank yous, and with a bitter taste in our mouths after such a pleasant meal.

The Coconut Tree Restaurant is a hidden gem that truly captures the essence of Sri Lankan hospitality and culinary tradition. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance envelops you in a warm, inviting embrace, with rustic decor and traditional music setting the perfect mood for an unforgettable dining experience. The food at The Coconut Tree is nothing short of spectacular. Each dish bursts with authentic flavors, lovingly prepared to showcase the rich culinary heritage of Sri Lanka. From the aromatic spices in the curries to the delicate balance of flavors in the appetizers, every bite transports you straight to the heart of Sri Lanka. And despite the exceptional quality, the prices are refreshingly affordable, making this a place you can enjoy time and time again without breaking the bank. What truly sets The Coconut Tree apart, however, is the genuine care and attention from the staff. Every member of the team goes above and beyond to ensure that you feel welcome and valued. Their heartfelt gestures, whether it's a warm smile, a thoughtful recommendation, or a complimentary taste of something special, make you feel like a treasured guest. The service is consistently attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance that enhances the overall experience. The Coconut Tree is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Sri Lankan culture and hospitality. The combination of delightful ambiance, exquisite food, and unparalleled service makes it a standout choice for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic and heartwarming dining experience. Highly recommended for both its culinary delights and the genuine warmth of its people.

I had been to the Coconut Tree in Cheltenham and had one of the best meals of my life so when I saw there was one in Bath, we added it to our plans. This was one of my family of four's favorite meals during our visit. Everyone was so friendly and eager to help us figure out what to order. The restaurant is VERY clean. They have a lovely 2 for $8 for their mocktails so we had the virgin mojito raspberry and passion fruit along with sprites. For food, we each ordered a hopper and they were so good (highly recommend). They had a nice kick to them. We shared the cheesy Colombo, prawn curry, hot battered calamari, black pork, chicken curry on the bone, and vegetarian kotthu. My favorites were the black pork and the kotthu but honestly everything was so good. We don't have Sri Lankan restaurants where I'm from and I was excited to share it with my family. They all loved it and raved about the food, the vibes, and the service. I loved that the menu was a little different from when I went in Cheltenham so I got to try new things while also ordering what I enjoyed last time. Just a few items of note: They say to order ~4 dishes per person and that would've definitely been too much for us hahah and we do tend to eat a lot. I personally think 2-3 per person is perfect but it also depends on which items you get as some are more filling than others. Lastly, they have an express meal which was a nice option. We didn't order it as we wanted menu items that were not included but if you're in a rush and also want a great meal, it seems really nice! 10/10 would recommend dining here!

We love the Cheltenham branch so when we found ourselves in Bath we thought we’d drop in for lunch. disappointing experience tbh, absolutely no atmosphere, lights turned off, skylights leaking, general air of unenthusiasm. Also portions seemed smaller (?) and no water brought to table, dirty cups, just an all round lacklustre experience compared to our Cheltenham branch visits

As always - wonderful, fresh, tasty food with great service. First time at the Bath branch - and really disappointed by the banging house tunes that totally drowned out our conversation! We were in an upstairs area which exacerbated the sound - but maybe I’m just getting old !!!! It did put us off staying for the delicious cocktails after though !

We visited as a large group at lunchtime, taking advantage of the advertised bottomless lunch. It took about 10 minutes having been seated to have everything explained to us. It was pretty restrictive and confusing. Whether that was our disorganisation or theirs, I’m not sure. It took forever (another 10-15 minutes) for the first drinks to arrive and our food order was only taken as the first drinks arrived. Recognising the need to play the game a bit, we tried to order second drinks as the first arrived but this ‘confused’ matters and is where the wheels started to come off. The staff were unable to deal with a group of this size (25, booked in advance) and there seemed to be elementary mistakes in how to serve that many people; none of the staff seemed to know what was going on and this led to drinks being missed, tables not being served for 20 minutes or more. The food then started coming out and it was a shambles; a main and either a side or a pancake was the deal yet people got either their main but not the side / pancake or vice versa and were waiting up to 20 minutes for the corresponding item to arrive. I only got my food 90 minutes after arriving at the venue. When a colleague asked politely where her drink was, she was asked how many drinks she’d had; clearly a reference to a maximum the establishment wants / needs to impose to remain profitable but completely unacceptable in what’s billed as a ‘bottomless’ offer. Hugely disappointing. The food was delicious when it arrived but the hassle and frustration around the whole service delivery means I won’t be going back.

Food 5/5 Ambience 5/5 Quantity 2/5 - very small portions- can do better with the £price , prawn rice with 4 -5pieces and chickin kothu with 4-5 pieces are not worth the price. ( just for the quantity) Toilets - not neat. Suggestion : The food quantity provided is best £5-£6 May be you can provide large portions for £11/12 etc

We came for our daughter’s 18th birthday. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and charming - both helping us decorate before and with all the details that made it a really great evening. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Thank you for making it a really memorable night

Highly recommend coming here for a great meal and cocktails. Everything we ordered was amazing, especially the prawn curry. The service was great. Restaurant was clean. I wish we had a location in the USA!

I came across this place by pure chance. As a Sri Lankan myself, I struggle to find authentic Sri Lankan food in the UK. So, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the new discovery. The food was brilliant and very authentic. As the dishes are tapas dishes, it's worth getting two to three dishes per person. The service was really good as well. Well worth the money.

Coconut Tree came up as highly recommended so we came in with high expectations but weren’t blown away. The decor and vibes are lovely, we loved all the artwork on the walls. Unfortunately, the food was a bit disappointing. The dhaal and goat curry were delicious. However, the kotthu didn’t live up to expectations, the chicken wings were too chewy and a bit tasteless and some of the cheese pieces were overcooked/rock solid. They also only offer tap water, no bottled which I found quite strange. They set fire to one of their drinks using a sugar cube and cinnamon which is a nice touch (bit gimmicky) but servers need to be a bit more careful when sprinkling the cinnamon as they got it all over the table, our coats and bags and brown powder doesn’t go well with cream coats! Our waitress Harshini was super helpful and great with recommendations and concerns about allergies. Unsure if we caught them on a bad day but I probably wouldn’t visit again.

Very friendly and generally warm place to eat. The food tastes authentic and the staff made effort to introduce us to the local cuisine. Having said so, the portions could have been bigger.

Lilan was incredibly friendly and helpful, ordered goat, chicken and potatoes as well as rice which was the perfect portion, as per Lilan’s suggestion. Had a brilliant time indulging in Sri Lankan food.

Thaikhun is my favourite Thai restaurant in Bath. I just had a fantastic birthday meal with my family, a real variety of food and strong flavours. Our waitress Sea was lovely as well. I would definitely recommend going here!

A great family run business. Enjoyed the chicken naga zhall and my favourite and go to is chicken tikka biryani. They have high chair and it is suitable for families and young kids to dine with. Staff are friendly and kind.
