The Banyan Tree — Restaurant in England

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here, what is likely to be the first of many!

Not withstanding the friendly welcome and brilliant service, the vegan menu is HUGE and full of variety. We got chatting to our server who is vegan herself and influenced their chef, who enthusiastically took on the challenge to convert and design vegan versions of their authentic dishes.

We had the shared vegan vegetable platter to start which was bursting with full and flavoursome veggies - baby corn, roasted cauliflower, mushrooms, peppers and onion, as well as a sumptuous extra that we think was soya chunks. Whatever it was, it was moreish! Each were gorgeously spiced whilst still staying true to what they were. I get fed up of vegan options being 'deep fried everything' so this was a refreshing change!

For my main I enjoyed the soya keema mutta with a tandoor roti, again delicious!

My boyfriend had a non vegan option and was equally impressed, but said he regretted not trying something off the vegan menu as it all looked so good.

If you're looking for an authentic Indian without having to go into town, this place fits the bill perfectly! Highly...

I had paid more for the wrong dish to be sent and with calling the restaurant 7 times and no answer I was not impressed at all. Online it says to contact via a certain email if there is a problem and require a refund, I've done that and they have responded a week late and said they cannot help and to contact the restaurant! Absolute joke and such a shame as I love the Banyan Tree but from now on I will be using the city centre restaurant for Dine in and Takeaway as this is the second time I've tried to contact Werrington over an order that has...

My first visit. Food was very tasty and my starter was interesting, flaked fish with finely chopped nuts. Never had anything like that before. Most unusual idea but it worked. Main course was lamb with pilau rice and keema naan. Again spicy and tasty. I had a pint of cobra beer with that. Prices seemed fair. Only two negatives. It was terribly cold in the establishment. My fellow diner also commented. His hands were like ice and I could feel a chilly draught round my legs and feet. The main course took quite a while to reach us. No continuity of service following our first course. Other diners seem to be taking precedence. If I went again. I'd...
