The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in Lansdown Cheltenham South West

After many a visit to East India over the years (which included a private masterclass), took some friends having sung its praises. Suffice to say I wish I hadn’t. Opted for the taster menu. Sadly a selection of average (albeit fairly well presented) dishes, none of which really stood out for any of the group. Whilst 4 went for the standard taster, I opted for the veggie/vegan. We were all left pretty flat. But it was the slow, cumbersome service which lacked any real welcome or interest that really stood out. My past experiences of EIC have been great traditional food, presented well and in a welcome environment. The food was ok, incredibly slow to reach the table, until we complained (only to be asked if we were in a rush….) and being sat at the back away from any other diner, just felt an unworthy experience at nearly £100 a head given there was little alcohol consumed. Oh an a biryani which represented literally a packet of uncle bens veggie rice doesn’t cut it for me ever!
