The Eastern Eye in Bath and North East Somerset

Been to this restaurant for years. Highly recommended. Great food and ambience, impessive decor. Had Chicken Madras and plain boiled rice which was perfect.

Hemos comido aquí 3 veces en los últimos meses. La comida ha sido excelente en cada ocasión. Me encanta su pollo jalfrezi. El servicio siempre ha sido educado, amable y muy atento. El ambiente y la decoración de este antiguo salón de baile georgiano es excepcional. Muy valorado. Volveremos.

Hermoso restaurante con una decoración increíble y personal muy amable con sabrosa comida auténtica sin duda recomendaría este lugar a las personas que visitan el baño que quieren cenar en un pedazo de historia

Estaba bien, nada en absoluto especial, pero pequeñas porciones. Cuando leí la crítica anteriormente diciendo que el vino era un muy razonable £ 5. 50, pensé que sería para una botella, no para un vaso pequeño!

Fue con la familia y la comida estaba bien, bhaji no cocinado en el medio y la comida caliente, no caliente. El camarero no sabía qué vino tinto hacían, ya que seguía diciendo tinto y tenía que traer hotel para mostrarnos. Paratha estaba barquillo esto y goteando en mantequilla y era bastante horrible. Los baños de arriba son horriblemente anticuados y no lugar limpio necesita una reforma importante. Aparentemente ha sido asumido y nos dijeron anteriormente que era excelente. Si yo fuera tú no me molestaría. No volverá.

My favourite curry house! Been coming with my family for years now, and always happy to come back. Staff very friendly and treat me and mine like family. Would recommend, especially if its your firt time in Bath

Very average curry, must be better in Bath.

Decent Indian restaurant in a beautiful upstairs ballroom. Service was a bit hurried but the lamb was excellent.

Been using this place for years through its many name changes and the food, certainly during our last visit, has gone severely downhill. Worse though, was when I pointed out to our waiter that there were three items on our bill that we hadn’t ordered. Be careful as this happened to a friend of mine here recently which is why I checked more carefully than usual!!!

Truly excellent dining spot. Wonderful grand interior, attentive and polite staff. Food was delicious. Wine was great at a very reasonable price. Very accomodating at a very late hour, the only dine-in place still serving food and wine. Would absolutely recommend.

Reasonable food. Over priced for an Indian. Quick service but they have the bare faced cheek to add 10% to the bill. Really off putting. I would not return or recommend

Average Indian, not horrendous, not amazing. We opted to go on a Saturday night, as a family of 4. Very attentive service! The meal was nice, but a bog standard Indian (felt more like a take away). If I could give 3.5 rather than 3, I would. Wouldn’t return but perfectly acceptable for a quick bite / post rugby curry (of which there were numerous fans doing!).

My wife and I have eaten here previously when it was called The Eatern Eye. When I visit Bath and I have time, this is one of my "go to" restaurants if I want a curry and the change of name hasn't changed my mind. Tasty, well prepared food, friendly, welcoming and attentive staff, together with a fabulous dining area, make for a pleasant occasion. Don't be put off by the underwhelming entrance and the flight of stairs ( the restaurant is on the first floor). It is worth venturing inside to at least see the dining area, which is large, airy and the decor will catch your eye. The tables have clean linen table cloths and menus are unmarked, a small but important detail in our view. We will return again.

Great food! They have an affordable lunch special currently, that is a 3 course meal if you go between noon and 2:30 pm. It was delicious.

It was exactly what we were looking for for dinner. Great service they accommodated all our needs . Great food. And a nice ornate large grand hall to be eating in.

Excellent, excellent. Some of the best Indian food we’ve ever had (and we’ve had a lot). the service was friendly and prompt and attentive, the restaurant is Pleasant and of course the food is excellent.

Now the PEARL of INDIA. We have been eating at this restaurant, albeit under a different name for 20-30 years it was always reliably good. So a bit of a surprise to find it even better and very good value. The house red wine was only 5.50 and very acceptable. Popadoms the best Ive had with 4 chutneys again just a few £s. So whilst they are trying so hard- opened 6 weeks ago- you should give it a try. David & Trish

Had a meal here last night with my wife, and thought it was delightful. Going in we were unsure what to expect as it looks a bit dingy from the outside, but inside was a grand historic Georgian ballroom that was absolutely stunning. Thankfully it had delicious curries to match the decor. The Dhaka Lamb in particular stood out, and my wife loved her Tikka Masala too. The servers weren't particularly talkative, but the service was swift and friendly. Do not miss this place!

I love chicken Madras and pilau rice. It’s what I ordered but got a bobs sauce heated up with naga paste. It was all heat no flavor. I mentioned it and they seemed suprised I knew naga taste. Not impressed.

We had the most fantastic meal. We were spoilt for choice as the menu has so many options! If you are after an authentic and flavourful curry this place is for you.

A group of us girls came here for dinner and the staff were so helpful and friendly and the food was just so amazing. I cannot wait to come back again! The decor and ambiance was just beautiful ! Thanks again guys!

Love love LOVE this place, it's an absolute MUST if you are in Bath - amazing cuisine, really friendly people, and the location is perfect for touring through Bath. I genuinely cannot recommend it enough - and the price is really affordable too, especially so for Bath. I'm a big fan of the Jalfrazy but for those who can't take the heat as much - the Patia or Rogan Josh (or chicken tikka massala) are all excellent. Especially recommend trying the Bengali dishes and this place does them so well!

Went with some students who have been to every curry house in bath as we from Teeside they took us Omg fantastic best we have ever been to worldwide Andrew and Barbara

Delicious three course lunch, very reasonably priced. Excellent friendly service. Thank you, we will be back, such good value.

Had the most beautiful meal with my wife, the staff were very friendly, the restaurant setting is unique and the food was so delicious! We will be coming back with the whole family again. Have recommend to colleagues and friends and they've all thanked me! One of the best curries we have had!

All dishes were full of oil.they served courgettes for brinjal bhaji..tasteless except paneer matar dish..very bad experience.. Yes it was bhegun bhaji and was horrible

Had an incredible meal at this restaurant on our weekend trip to Bath. As someone who eats Indian food a lot, I can attest to the quality of the dishes. Great flavours, tender chicken, thick rich sauces. They had some great house specials, and the venue was absolutely stunning. A big Georgian Ballroom. Looked magnificent. Great service too. A*

So if you have 4h in front of you, go for it. We got served after more than 50min waiting, 15 people is the whole room. I am not sure how they managed things, what is wrong with poeple when we tell them we have an appointment afterwards and want things to speed up a bit. For real, in which restaurant do you see all other people being served except yourself (2 people) for 50 minutes ??? So pass your way on this one, not worth your time.

Food was a disappointment but wasn't expecting much after seeing staff carrying in a big tub of Pataks sauce and a big plastic tub of ready made pappadoms! Bombay potatoes were hard and in a watery sauce as if they had been defrosted. My curry was very bland and I overheard a woman near me said to her husband this is white man's curry not authentic Indian. Even the coca cola was cheap and nasty. Staff were in jeans and t shirts so not presenting a very professional image. The only thing I liked was the naan bread.

Lack of friendly service, seemed like all the staff did not want to be there. Way over priced for the food received. Never brought water after many requests, had to go to he bar. When paying had the cheek to question why I don't want to pay the service charge and tried to charge me for a special Nan when it was a Garlic Nan just to make up for a tip I refused to pay, lieing to my face when I watched him on the screen. Bad vibes are never wrong. AVOID! Better options avaliable else where.

Excellent Indian restaurant, generous portions, great taste and very good value, staff were very friendly and service was quick. Very appreciative that the meat served here is Halal. Absolutely huge dining room with skylights, this location can cater for large parties. Celebrities including; Nicolas Cage, Rowan Atkinson and Amanda Holden have eaten here.

Being a purveyor of some excellent curry establishments, I can safely say this is not one of them. Wet salad, lukewarm warm chicken, and dry rice. Needs improvement.

We had a great meal last night. The staff were super friendly. They give customers a round of applause when you leave and that made the atmosphere so memorable. I’ve never witnessed that elsewhere and it made everyone join in and feel very special when they left. Go there if you want to be a king or queen for the night!

I had the best time with my husband! The staff were very efficient, the food was incredible, especially the garlic chicken zohary! Yummm! Will definitely be visiting again!

Fantastic and wholesome curry! I have been here before and it was fantastic the first time but even better the second! Absolutely delicious, authentic and flavoursome! Atmosphere was beautiful too! Can't wait to visit again!

Absolutely gorgeous inside, great atmosphere and the food was great. Highly recommend :)

Service and atmosphere was really good but the food was where it went downhill. The lamb curry was overcooked and chewy and the sauce consisted of a tomato tin with the chunk's still in there which was very bland. As for the chapati never have I seen anywhere offer this to be a chapati it seemed like something you get from a packet.

Oh dear, what was once a great Indian has since changed hands and s a shadow of itself. The food barely tasted Indian, the service was terrible and the building is suffering from decay. As locals we will. It be back however I suspect that buisnes will continue whilst the new owners live off the previous owners google reviews

Went in on a quiet Wednesday night. Lovely people, excellent food and in such a grand room. Had the rezala which is recommended. Will make it a regular.

Although the decor and architecture of this restaurant was gorgeous, the food and service might be the worst I have ever encountered. Not only did it take ages to get our food in an empty restaurant, every dish that our table was sub-par to downright awful. Overall a massive let-down.

Saturday night in Bath and such a disappointment . Restaurant was fairly busy when we arrived but emptied out whilst we were there. Poppadoms came and had the best lime pickle I ve ever eaten. They had run out of onion bhaji so didn't order starters due to limited veggie choice. It then took well over 30mins for our mains. No food appeared to be coming out of the kitchen in that time but the drinks did ! When mains arrived the veg madras had zero taste I've never had a madras like it ...full of grease/soapy consistency with broccoli , cabbage and zero potatoes and just hot (I don't mind hot but it was bland and no flavour ) . My husband s was good but there was no check in if the food was ok and by the time someone wandered over (they were more interested in serving beers ) my husband had eaten all of his. I complained and refused to pay for that and the non eaten naan. I was offered a pudding and I said I've not eaten anything ...why would I have a pudding!?! Not gonna go back. Shocking service all round.

Joint worst Indian restaurant I have been to. Was really looking forward to it but from the very get go it wasn't great, placed a booking which they didn't appear to be aware of however had plenty of free tables. Poppadoms and drinks order was taken swiftly and all was good. We then had an uncomfortably long wait before our order was taken which can be understandable if they were very busy but they weren't and there was plenty of standing around. It was eventually taken and starter arrived in reasonable time. The starters were okay but nothing to write home about, not over cooked but a little slimey. It was after this it went really down hill when we had to wait over an hour and 20 minutes for our food to arrive. During this time we had a waiter come to our table once to ask for more drinks and when asking about the food he said he will check but failed to do so and instead went to do drinks for another table. After being there for over 2 hours food finally arrived but the evening was not redeemed. Rice order was messed up and 2 rice's weren't delivered, when mentioned the waiter went and grabbed one of the wrong types of rice and smoked it on the table before disappearing again. The dishes themselves did not reflect pictures others have shown, the 4 pieces of chicken I received sat about the sauce in the dish and for a £12.50 dish the quantity was concerning. Another form my group received less prices than the chicken takeaway starter. Meals were also laden with oil and the taste was distinctly average. The bill came wrong due to us not receiving the food we ordered and they still tried to bill for it. When questioned about the rice and how long the wait was they correct the price and removed £10 from the bill which was pretty poor considering there was a service charge of nearly double that so they still collected a tip despite an atrocious service.

Good curry from a reasonably sized menu. Paid with cash as we weren't sure if card was available.

Very central in Bath so easy to find. On our visit it had (clearly) just been renamed 'Pearl of India'. They also would only accept cash, a situation that we were advised was only temporary. The room where we ate was well worth seeing, large and quite a sight. The service was good and for standard Indian fare, the food was OK. My prawn puree starter in particular was very tasty. We told the staff serving we were not in a hurry so please could we have a rest between courses but unfortunately as they took our starter plates away they immediately served our mains. So, even with the restaurant not being crazy busy, we were in and out very quickly. I toyed with my rating as I wouldn't tell anyone not to go. The food was 'fine' and as standard as all run of the mill Indian restaurants. So i'm certainly not saying "don't go". But I couldn't give it a 4 out of 5 I'm afraid.

Rogan Josh was very salty! Service could have been better, we asked for glasses multiple times and fresh water but they never arrived. Changed review to 1 star after noticing they overcharged us on the bill! Never again. Avoid.

I did the chicken tikka taka tak off their signature menu and enjoyed it. It was pretty empty the day I was there, which was odd to me because I had read about it as a best place to go online. I paid cash as they’re not accepting credit cards at this time. It think it’s transferring names and/or ownership.

I had the mixed grill which contained an assortment of bland lukewarm overcooked dry meats. Clearly everything had been cooked beforehand and pre-heated. The lamb was so tough I had trouble cutting it with a knife. The restaurant does not accept credit cards and only accepts cash or bank transfers. One of the worst curries I have had in years.

Great tasting food, beautiful. If you enjoy Indian food, this is the best restaurant you will eat at in Bath. They accomadated also for my partners' vegetarian dinner request. Excellent service, polite...100% :)

On a visit from NZ and popped in for lunch and had an amazing meal. We were made so welcome by the friendly staff. We enjoyed a lamb biryani, chicken balti and prawn balti. The meat was so tender, it could be cut with a spoon! The staff were genuinely interested in our well-being and the food was extremely high-quality. Excellent authentic Indian cuisine. 10 out of 10.

Popped in for lunch & had amazing prawn balti, chicken balti and lamb biriyani - the meat was so tender. Friendliest staff

Poor customer service food was not good enough tastewise and slow services moreover bill is not accurate.they are applying wrong charges on curries with mentioning main and normal one and staff has bad manners to talk with customers.no clearity on menu.

Had dinner here with my husband, Popadoms served quickly and were super crispy, chicken madras was delicious, rice fluffy and naan bread perfectly cooked, I would recommend and return.

Very tasty food at reasonable pricing. Friendly and attentive staff

Food was awful. The restaurant brought over my groups food and didn’t bring mine. When I RE-ORDERED they brought me the wrong dish. I said this wasn’t what I asked for and they insisted it was and wouldn’t give me an alternative and insisted what they brought over was what I ordered. Food was pretty poor and service even worse

Boiled chicken in salty curry sauce, rather than tender chicken Tikka in the sauce you have selected. Don’t even get me started on the salty saag aloo with extra salt! I probably eat way too much curry from too many different restaurants, but it has enabled me to judge good from bad. This particular restaurant looks great, but tastes aweful😞

Great fine of a restaurant, the outside does not do justice to the opulent interior, especially as the restaurant is situated upstairs, will happily go again.

Restaurant was so pretty and service was great! Food was really really delicious.

Dry pre frozen seafood and over spiced, asked to change, and was changed after much consultation. Chicken substitute was dry and over cooked. Ordered a balti and was the heat of a madras, All party of 8 agreed

Had high expectations, award winning apparently! Very busy as Xmas market on but that should not make a difference! Firstly forgot to bring our poppadoms while people arriving after us received theirs. When food arrived it was mildly warm at best, Pilau rice was just boiled rice with peas and carrots in it, so not pilau rice! Choice of rice and Nan breads was very limited. I ordered a garlic Nan but got a plain one. Complained and they removed the service charge! Plus 15%. I have had much nicer Indian food and sadly will not return or recommend

From a tiny entrance on Bath City Centre you climb a flight of stairs to a marvellous hall. Seating is on straight tables and the staff are amazingly attentive. Noisy for me because I have hearing problems, so conversation was difficult. Delicious food though. Perhaps some round tables would be good to improve communication

We came to this restaurant some time ago while spending an anniversary in Bath. The food was amazing, and at the end of the night the owner presented us with a cook book and a card wishing us a happy anniversary! That card dropped out from a bookshelf just now and reminded me to review. Better late than never. Thank you Mr choudhary!

I recently dined at The Grand Eastern Bath, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The ambiance and the waiter who served us water were pleasant, but regrettably, the behavior of a staff member at the reception, particularly a lady, was disheartening. Throughout our visit, she had created an uncomfortable atmosphere, it was both unprofessional and unsettling. The food is not that great too! Worst Indian food I had in the UK. 👎🏼

Nice restaurant with lovely decor inside, nice staff but was let down by the curry. There were 5 of us out and all of us felt that the curry was very very salty so unfortunately didn’t really enjoy the meal

Great service, couldn't moan at all about that. Setting was lovely. However food not great. Everyone experienced salty food. Mine was also quite greasy. Needs a bit more care and attention.

Absolutely beautiful food with brilliant service. Very good menu and drinks selection. Just a beautiful place.

No flavour other than salt. And that was across five separate dishes. Decent service but they need a new chef. Disappointing.

Cash machines not working! They should tell you that on booking instead of assuming that you’d have £200 in cash. Lovely decor and staff are friendly but the food was relatively average and the soft drinks were flat and the rice was a tad cold. The rest of the food was okay and friends I’d been with had been before and enjoyed it. But it wasn’t the best for me.

Excellent food, excellent service. What more can I say.

Food was delicious and staff were very attentive, my only criticism would be that it felt like dining in a canteen.

Visited on 24th Oct and it was very quiet. I thought we had picked the wrong place to eat it was soo quiet but the food was very nice indeed and I am glad we did go here

Usually a great place to eat, but tonight waited 35 minutes with nobody coming to take an order, so got up and left.

Worst Indian restaurant in a very long time. Food was terrible and teh service was something out of a bad comedy show.

Good curry at a very fair price. Quick service and lovely surroundings

Beautiful restaurant with a very good menu including both the classics and a few specialities which added variety. Staff were really helpful, food arrived in good time and was excellent. Decent portions (too much for us) but really tasty and well prepared. The restaurant is worth a visit just to see the space, it is marvelous. Also the Cobra was perfect too!

Certainly a place to take those you are hoping to impress, you head upstairs into a feast for all the senses, lovely smells, great tastes, beautiful murals, and pleasant music. I had the Lamb Shank, and loved it but everyone loved what they had and went home full and happy. Bellies full of spices and heads primed to rest upon their pillows and dream sweet dreams of India.

Excellent - all round top notch. Group of around 15 on a work night. Superb service as you’d expect, but many variables within the order and all dishes delivered perfectly. Critically it tasted wonderful And I felt superb the next day. Highly recommended Really quirky decor aswell! Tune the piano!

Unfortunately, we had incredibly slow service. Food was OK, but when we tried to give our food order when the waiter took our drinks order he ignored us and then it took another 1.5 hours to get our main order taken.

Do yourself a favour and walk up the stairs to this magnificent Indian Restaurant...beautiful decor, beautiful food and atmosphere You will not be disappointed...a must do when visiting Bath

Great on a busy night, good food, decent price.

Terrible service waited 1 and a half hours for some descosting food Xhdhbdbddbdbdbndndbdhdbdhhdhdndndjdjdj

Delicious Indian food. They do taste fresh. Sauces are available in degrees of heat level.

Ai love this place. Always good food and service and not expensive. It's solid. Never disappoints. Great dining room too!! Not at all what you'd expect from the entrance

Good curry good service did not know it was there will go back

Restaurant does reservations and walk-ins. We came at 10 PM on a Saturday and they still seated us for dinner. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. The owner suggested we try the papadam with spreads as an appetizer, we had never had it so he gave us a serving to try- delicious! Sweet to savory/hot spreads that were flavorful but not overwhelming. We ordered a traditional prawn biryani and a chicken tikka masala. Both were flavorful and fit their description profiles 100%. Biryani was served with a mildly spicy vegetable curry and the prawn/rice ratio was nicely balanced. The combination had a little kick but didn’t punch you over with heat. The chicken tikka masala was just creamy and rich enough and the chicken was tender and not outdone by the sauce. Rice served with the masala was perfectly cooked and tasty. Overall a great meal with professional but friendly staff. We left at 11:15 and only then realized the restaurant closed at 11 pm but they didn’t rush us or even hint to us or the other few remaining guests that we needed to ‘finish up’, there were still guests eating and enjoying themselves when we paid our bill. Definitely recommend you try The Eastern Eye when you are in Bath.

Good food. Expensive Asian food. Nan are very expensive. Surprise to see the rate.

Fine Indian Restaurant. Superb Location, good Service. Lots of choice. Indian Beer and wines. Friendly service. Standard in taste, nothing Special. Good for indian food experience. But not outstanding.

Nice quiet environment. Clean and neat serving. Can be trusted for pure food. Md. Mizanur Rahman.

The unassuming entrance in Quiet Street meant you had to go up a grotty set of dirty carpeted stairs that put me in mind of queuing back in the day to get in a stale, cheap end club in the eighties. Totally unwelcoming. Anyway, on entering through some skanky doors you are in a large vacuous hall which the owners describe as lofty with grandiose décor. To be fair, with some serious investment this place could be spectacular; as it is it’s dirty, outdated, tired and beyond underwhelming. Naff wood carved bar area with naff neon lights, odd ruched and dirty curtains hanging off the wall and oddly not covering a window, cheap laminated wall signs everywhere; more of the same filthy red carpet; you get the drift. Strangely the place has 100+ covers but the meagre 25 of us dining were sardine packed into one small area. Obviously for the benefit of the serving staff and not the customers. So far this is as enjoyable as getting to a waiting room seat at the dentist. Redemption in the food perhaps ? This is what you might call old school Indian with its weighty and over promising menu. Poppadom’s were average and, to be honest, too oily tasting albeit the standard array of dips and chutneys were slightly better. We had a dry Chicken Tikka which had zero plate appeal and zero taste and served with that useless and totally inappropriate accompaniment, the half-hearted salad (why ?). My lamb Mon Passand house speciality curry was okay but the Peshwari Naan was a disaster. It was undercooked and as floppy as the rim on Gandalf’s hat, and no doubt, as tasteless. I sent it back, with no quibbles from the waiter, and to be fair the replacement was much better. This place just doesn’t cut it and is an ageing relic belonging to yesteryear. It might work for a group of pissed up students at ten in the evening in need of a hole filler before a night out but that’s about it. Shared poppadom’s, two mains with rice and a naan and a large Tiger beer and water was £55 all up including 10% service.

CELEBRITIES love the food here and so do we!! Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Mr. Bean... you name it! So DELICIOUS & AMAZING😍 !! Their original Garlic Chilli Zohary is the BEST curry we have ever eaten. A MUST-GO restaurant in Bath!👍💕

Late night curry for a group of four amazing choice of dishes tried a lamb dish I've not seen on any Indian menu before and it was delicious also ordered a chicken and mincemeat curry that was lush would highly recommend this restaurant really enjoyed our visit

Outstanding hospitality. Quite possibly the nicest owner/manager you could hope for a restaurant. My partner and I have just had an amazing meal, great recommendations and fresh and tasty food. Highly recommended. Lovely atmosphere, we will definitely return

Had a lovely meal here. Went here once six years ago and I remembered it being excellent, and I'm pleased to have found that it still is. Kind and helpful staff, fast service, plentiful food. Next time I'm in Bath I'll be going here again!

What a miserable and disastrous experience! Miserable staff, angry, unfriendly, no atmosphere, awful food, the manager was aggressive to us when we complained, my tandoori was grey and cold, the pilau was just boiled rice and the naan was colourless filled with grey lamb and impossible to eat, avoid at all costs!

Went here for a birthday meal yesterday. Was unsure at first due to it being so hot outside, but luckily the restaurant had air conditioning and was cool inside. The dining hall is absolutely stunning. Huge big domes in some grand looking hall. Prices were reasonable for the venue and portions, and most importantly, the food was incredible! Some of the best curries we'd had. Was recommended the garlic chili curry instead of my typical madras, it was perfect. Chicken super tender. Rich spicy garlicy sauce. A friend had nowabder instead of his usual tikka masala and again, hit the spot. Mild, richer and creamy like a masala but with cashew nuts blended in. Other meanls were as good. Service was decent. Overall highly recommended! Made my bday feel that little bit more special.

The Food was outstanding, the staff were very friendly and our overall experience was just brilliant. Will definitely be going back again!

This restaurant seems to have two names, the Grand Eastern and the Eastern Eye. First impressions when you walk up the stairs are wow, because of the three glass domes in the roof, the murals and the huge restaurant. After eating here, I can understand why it was so empty on a Saturday night. No complaints about the service and the food portions were a decent size but the curries were swimming in oil (particularly the chicken mon passand) and lacked any depth/layers of flavour. Suspect the ‘lamb’ was actually mutton in the butty kebab starter. Meal was expensive overall due to the added service charge and extras such as £7.50 for two poppadoms and chutneys. As previous reviewers have said, the stairs leading up to the toilets are grimy. The loo I used had Blu-Tack to keep the lock in place. The whole experience was that the place needs a deep clean/redecorating. My friend also said there were dubious plants he could see growing from the windows of the men’s toilets! Unlikely to return, sorry.

I totally loved the experience of being at this place. The food is good along with some good atmosphere.
