"I always noticed the wonderful smell coming from this place when I walked by, so I finally decided to try it out over the weekend. The man behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, explaining the spiciness levels of the curries and offering to adjust them to our preferences. The food we ordered was delicious, the quality was great for the price, and we didn't have to wait too long for it. I would definitely order from here again. Another great thing is that the menu offers the option to make any dish vegetarian or vegan, which is a big bonus for those who require it."

"My partner and I decided to try this restaurant for dinner one evening, as we live nearby. When we arrived, our table wasn't ready, so we were directed to sit at the bar. Unfortunately, our experience at the bar was subpar - it took a long time to place our order and our drinks never arrived. We were looking forward to enjoying them at the bar, which offers a lovely view of Kensington Gardens. Once we were seated at our table, the service improved significantly. The waitstaff were great and attentive. The standout of the evening, however, was the food. The dishes were truly amazing and stole the show. The ambiance of the restaurant was also pleasant. Despite the initial hiccup at the bar, I would still give this restaurant 5 stars. It's possible that we just arrived during a busy time for the bar. I would definitely consider dining here again!"

"Mildreds is a staple of the London Vegan Scene. I can't believe I’m only writing a review of it now We went to the branch in Soho before watching Les Mis and decided to just share a few of the small plates instead of having a big plate and some starters, as we would normally do. You get to try a lot more things this way, and their small plates are delicious! Honestly, there wasn't anything we ate that I wouldn't order again, but there were definitely a couple of standouts that I hope they never take off the menu. Topping the list is their Sweet Potato Leek Tortelloni, which comes with a lovely leek cream that is somehow both rich and smooth. Also amazing is their Whipped F'ta topped with roasted cherry tomatoes and oregano which is just perfect to dip their grilled pita on. There's still so much on their menu that I haven't tried. I absolutely must go again soon! Overall: 9.5/10 Fully Vegan What we ate: "

"We wanted to get some North Indian food on our Scotland trip after a long day, and luckily, Sam's was open until later. As vegetarians, we were told that it was mainly a non vegetarian place but we could get a few veggie options. We opted out of getting any fried starters as we were told that they were fried in the same oil along with meat. We went straight for the mains: Butter Tandoori Roti, Butter Chapati, Kadai Mix Vegetable, Saag Paneer and Dal Tadka with a side salad of onion/lemon/chilies. The food was really well made and we enjoyed it and would recommend. However, the only thing that could be better was the service we did not feel welcome. We did not receive a smile or any greetings throughout the experience. The staff was polite but curt and lacked the warmth and hospitality that one would appreciate when dining in. Not a single waiter from the many once came by to ask how we were doing and whether we needed anything or to even inform us that the kitchen was closing and we should place any last orders we may have. However, I think this may just be towards certain groups of people because I saw them smile at and check in on local looking folks. Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options"

"The quality of the food was awful. We ordered a Masala, lamb and chicken, it was practically mush and I found it quite inedible. It did not look properly cooked and definitely not like Indian food. We tried to report this but their responses were unprofessional and repetitive, never actually trying to solve the issue, they refused to give us a refund and just ended the chat even though we still hadn’t finished the conversation."

"Good menu and plenty of options from almost plain to quite spicy, including small street food options as well as the usual starters. Friendly and good service. Quality of food is good and menu descriptions accurate!"

"Now I've been to the Wardour Street branch and thought it was fine, if a little unmemorable.I came to this Store Street branch at lunchtime and ordered the jungle curry with steamed jasmine rice. The curry was horrible. I had to send it back. Full of woody bits of lemongrass, it was fiery yet tasteless. It also had goose-pimpled pieces of chicken skin floating around in it and it was throroughly off-putting. I know that often cheaper cuts like thigh and leg which have skin on it are used as they have more flavour, but the ratio of the skin and the meat was disproportionate.When I told the waiter I couldn't eat it, he gave me a withering look and said Maybe I should have told you that the jungle curry comes with chicken skin and is quite spicy Err yes, perhaps they should have told me that it would be garnished with flabby skin. But they didn't. It annoyed me that he tried to patronise me like that. I have spent many weeks in different parts of Thailand, and I never came across chicken skin curry after all.Everyone else declared their mains as delicious."

"So I done the right thing and called the establishment to give my feedback rather than leave a review but I was met with passive aggressiveness and argumentative communication, so here I am.... Order was wrong but it stated on the docket it was correct so there was a miscommunication between me and the person whom took my order. That 's fine as I didn 't really mind as it was just one main dish but what got me was the very poor quality of the food. The chicken on the honey chilli chicken dish was stringy (like really over cooked calamari it was also very greasy as if the frying oil wasn 't hot enough and the sauce was sickly sweet, tasted like a desert and that goes the same for the sweet and sour chicken (I ordered curry but apparently I didn 't.... . Everything was also very under seasoned and bland. The BBQ ribs were actually ok but very little meat. The spring rolls were just your standard bought in spring rolls but they tasted unusually fishy nearly like it was off. The most amazing thing was the overcooked steamed rice?!? Come on guys, over cooked rice from a Chinese restaurant? Was it even washed before hand to remove the starch? Coming from a culture that 's so dedicated and takes pride in creating amazing food this was shocking and I don 't know what these awards are that this place has won? Are they made up? £39.90 for a 'takeaway ' sweet and sour chicken, honey chilli chicken, spring rolls, ribs, steamed rice and chips (sides are also charged separately btw which I don 't mind if the food is worth it . Yes you get a 20% discount on the mains but still expensive. Save your money and go elsewhere, I don 't know where the positive reviews came from. If you want good customer service and food this isn 't the place to be unfortunately."

"This is one of the best dessert shops in the area. The staff is always friendly and the desserts taste amazing with fresh ingredients. I usually order for pick up and the wait time is usually around 20 minutes. I didn't give it a 5-star rating because I had a terrible experience with delivery - it took about 2 hours for the food to arrive. I would definitely recommend this place for pick up orders."

"I have used Jasmine for about 9 years now following a move from the other side of the city. I 've had food from all of the Coventry Indian restaurants/takeaways many many times and although the other side of the city seems to have more of a choice Jasmine has been especially good. It was a shame that Shimla Spice by the train station went, but relocated to a smaller site at Spon End and Jay the proprietor had clearly worked hard to build his business. This has since closed. Bob and Nashaa, he too has grafted for years and when I 'm next over the other side of the city I 'll either book a table/get a takeaway. I have not liked Tumeric Gold on the occasions I 've had food from them and never understood the 'best in Coventry ' tag the Coventry Evening Telegraph gives the place only to think the journalist has some vested interest. I could list the many places I have had the pleasure of using. The best though (sorry to Shimla Spice and Nashaa) for a takeaway in my opinion is Jasmine. Ali and his staff are great. Decent food, decent prices and a great reputation over the Eastern Green/Tile Hill areas of the city."

"Came here with family on a Saturday night. When looking at the menu, the owner/waiter was rushing us and ended up taking the menus saying the kitchen is very busy! When trying to order the lamb tikka masala I was told no it 's hard so we asked what do you mean...hard to cook? Which he replied no the lamb is hard we cooked it yesterday! I have never been to a restaurant where I 've been told to avoid something... My starter was nice chicken tikka puri..but the prawn tikka masala wasn 't great, no flavour to the prawns themselves. The tables seem to small also, my naan was sitting on the windowsill as it was easier then finding space on the table. Would I return no... Parking: Parking is terrible, other customers have no choice but to block you in so they then have to stop eating to let you out."

"The food was amazing with a nice selection of different dishes. The staff were really friendly and helpful. They only sell soft drinks but you can take your own wine or beers to drink in there at no extra charge. This is the first time we have been there and if we lived in that area we would be going there as often as we could. Price was very reasonable as well less than £25 for two meals and one dessert. l highly recommend this restaurant."

Overall a very enjoyable experience and I have no doubt we will be back"

"I’ve had the Tastecard a little while now, but never got around to using it. The restaurants featured on the program are largely chain-based. Or not very good ones. So this is my first experience with that in hand. BananaTree is located in the heart of Soho making it an ideal spot to catch up with a friend from the office. The deal meant buy-one-get-one-free so we had a lot of food for not a lot. A good start. Our order consisted of the chicken wings, money bags along with our mains of the beef rendang curry and the pad thai. The fried wings are very good. Messy, sticky and lots of sauce. They offer a recipe for their tantalising wings on their website. It all looks well and good and I get excited up to a point. Then I realise, and decide it’s too many ingredients and too much work. It is one of the most popular appetisers at Banana Tree, and easy to understand why. The rendang was just above average, the meat tasted a bit dry and there wasn’t enough curry for my liking. The beef is quite chunky, and of good quality so its got that going for it. Banana Tree feels like yet another whitewashed Asian-inspired food restaurant in London. Others that come to mind: East Street and Dim T. Dishes across Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam all meld into one being rather than having each of its own elements celebrated. The first store opened a staggering twenty one years ago and now its eight stores it may have traded that authenticity with domination. The venue at Banana Tree has a nice, vibrant atmosphere and this is only completed by the size of the crowd. It’s plenty busy and a popular haunt for some of the other corporate dwellers from the looks of it. I didn’t find the find innovative but it was tasty."
