   Beautiful restaurant, very busy but was valentines day so short wait for table but there is a bar upstairs so not an issue. Table was nice but had to ask for it to be propped up as it had a horrible wobble but they were happy to oblige. Starter were immense, we had the non-vegetarian platter and it was stunning although we had to ask for a tray of chutney as it lacked any moisture and again this was provided immediately. Main course was where my issue lay, firstly it was delayed but they apologised and offered free champagne as a compensation. If you that bust surely turn off Deliveroo!!! The Venison Vindaloo just tasted of vinegar, the manager explained that there was a spice used that was a goan spice and had a vinegary taste but I wonder if it had been over seasoned. Was offered a replacement but chose not too and they comped that main. Not so much an issue with the restaurant as my pallet but it spoilt what would otherwise have been a stellar meal. Staff and service were excellent though so zero complaints there. The price, at £132 with a comped main course was overly expensive and more akin to a central London venue and with a meal going back uneaten this did not make it seem value for money and at £17 for a cocktail I'd say massively overpriced.

   Such a wonderful experience! Great service, we had a lovely chat with Chef Binod and Anupam who manages the restaurant. Both were warm and welcoming. Food was delicious, with a carefully chosen menu that would appeal to pretty much every palette. The ambience is calming, relaxed and unpretentious. We will definitely be back very soon! All the very best to this new local gem.

   We went to The Bank for Valentine’s Day and had a lovely evening. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive and looked after us really beautifully. The cocktails were great - I can thoroughly recommend the Chai Espresso Martini. The food was really delicious and interesting and we had two delicious little complimentary courses - a mango shot and a fudge like chocolate treat. The restaurant itself is very stylishly designed. We will definitely be going again. Amazing to have somewhere so good on our doorstep!

   Food very good - starters on the larger side - be careful not to fill on them otherwise you will have no space for mains. Huge options for starters - less so for mains but enough options to satisfy all - did not look at vegi options but looked to have plenty of options. Service was good and overall experience was excellent. We will visit again

   Food was very tasty and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant is in a great location just over the road from the tube station with the option for parking, if driving. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and hopefully be back for another visit soon.

    We had dinner at 5pm with the kids and it wasn't too busy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming especially with the kids. We were able to take our time to order, the food came out in good time and was just delicious. We did not feel rushed to eat. The chef came out to talk to us about the menu. The restaurant and toilets were clean. We had a lovely time and felt relaxed being there with the kids. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
