I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jimbu Contemporary Dining, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. I tried their Thali Set, which included naan, lamb curry, chicken curry, vegetable curry, spicy onion relish, pakoras, and a delicious pakora sauce.
Starting with the food, the naan was soft and freshly baked, perfect for scooping up the curries. The lamb curry was a highlightârich, tender, and bursting with deep, aromatic spices. The chicken curry offered a creamy, comforting flavor profile, while the vegetable curry provided a fresh and wholesome balance to the meal. The spicy onion relish was tangy with just the right amount of heat, and the pakoras were crispy, light, and perfectly fried. Paired with the flavorful pakora sauce, every bite was a delight.
Beyond the food, the ambience of Jimbu was truly inviting. The contemporary decor, warm lighting, and thoughtful layout created a cozy yet upscale environment, perfect for a relaxed meal.
The staff were another highlight of the experience. Polite, attentive, and knowledgeable, they made sure every aspect of the meal went smoothly. Their skill and efficiency were evident in how seamlessly they managed the service, ensuring every guest felt valued.
Jimbu Contemporary Dining is more than just a restaurant; itâs a place where great food meets excellent hospitality in a beautiful setting. The Thali Set was a feast for both the palate and the senses, and I highly recommend visiting for a memorable...
   Read moreAbsolute shambles, I've never had a worse restaurant experience than this in my life. I came here alone today, and it beggars my belief how badly this place is run.
I looked at their online menu before visiting and saw a dish that I wanted to try (see screen shot attached), but when i came to the restaurant, this dish wasn't on the menu?
I then ordered 2 dishes, a lamb dish Jimbu Tava and a vegetable dish, Okra and bread. Ten minutes after I ordered my food, I was told that there's no okra and that someone has gone out to buy some.
1hr plus later, my food arrives, just the okra and bread arrives, but no lamb. I gave it a few minutes to arrive, it never did. When I asked the waiter where my dish was, I was told that that particular order did not go through to the kitchen.
I told the waiter to cancel the dish and get me the bill, and upon checking it, there was a mistake there as well, which I politely asked to be rectified.
All the while, neither the manager nor owner came up to explain or apologise. The poor water serving me was left very embarrassed. This is very poor.
I left the restaurant and went to a nearby supermarket to do my shopping, and I see the manager in there, with a bag full of whole chickens.
Guess I wasn't the only one who's food item was not available in the restaurant fridge.

Sammy opted for a Rib Eye steak with Brandy sauce, Julie had the Sirloin with peppercorn sauce, Anne the Chicken Highlander, me Roast beef dinner and wee Lexie had her favourite Fish fingers and chips. Every one of us enjoyed our food and would've given it 10 stars if that was possible. Anne especially was delighted with the Chicken Highlander and, although saying she was full, kept going back and eventually cleared her plate. We all had dessert, me at last getting the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The only disappointment being that it is served with ice cream not custard but still gorgeous.
The service was great too. We didn't have long to wait before our drinks order was taken, then our waiter took the food order a short time later. Also have to say that I'm pleased that the background music is just that - background. And there's no jazz. Result!
Every one of us enjoyed our food and the evening in general. I'm pretty sure it won't be long until we're back for either lunch or...
