Bana Dessert — Restaurant in Bristol

I was scouring Gloucester Road for dessert places and saw this place, it's right next to Lonas. At the time we went, they haven't fully launched yet. My friend and I wandered in thinking they just do cakes and baklava mostly, asked for a menu and saw they did some awesome looking crepe/waffle flavour combos too. They did mention their cakes and cheesecakes just came in, so they we super fresh. Sold.

We got: ▪️Ferrero Rocher cheesecake - Looks can be deceiving, it looked like it had a decent biscuit base but it was much thinner than I thought. It needed a better base to cheese filling ratio. Also the cheesecake filling was more like whipped cream rather than cheesecake consistency, super light but not what I expected. Flavourwise it tasted nice but tbh I wouldn't get it again. ▪️Tiramisu cheesecake - My friend had this, they said it was like a slice of tirimisu rather than cheesecake consistency, so similar to mine. Tasted nice but wasn't a cheesecake as it lacked that biscuity base. ▪️Pistachio land crepe - My friend wanted more so we got this as well, they couldn't finish it all, so I helped 😂 Omg this was so good, it had tiny pieces of butterscotch candy on it with the salted caramel sauce, crushed pistachios and white chocolate drizzle. That combo was wonderful and the crepe was cooked well. Since they haven't launched properly yet, they didn't have pistachio ice-cream, so instead gave vanilla ice-cream topped with a crushed pistachio spice mix. I couldn't figure out what was in the mix but it was superb.

I would highly recommend trying out their crepes and waffles, they're a bit adventurous and do more than the standard flavours, which is awesome. Probably wouldn't go back for the cheesecake though, personal...

It was soft, gooey, and packed with flavor, just the way cookie dough should be. Whether you’re a dessert lover or just looking to treat yourself, this is an absolute must-try!

A Middle Eastern dessert venue well worth the visit. I took my parents for an evening out to get some sweet treats. The trip here did not disappoint. We had Milk Cake, Baklava, banana split ice cream and Turkish coffee. The milk cake had just the right level of sweetness although the portion size is advice sharing between two. The baklava tasted up market, none of that plasticky aged taste you get from the supermarket offerings. The banana split ice cream had a real bananarie punch. The Turkish coffee came with Turkish delight. The coffee itself didn’t have that bitter punch to the taste buds but instead a strong bitterness that built on the tongue. I would recommend for coffee lovers. The Turkish delight had been made with rose water but the rose flavour wasn’t too strong. I hate rose flavouring normally but this was just the right level to enjoy it.
