Really delicious food, the servings are very generous and such a good price. The menu is very varied, so there are options for everyone. Would definitely recommend for an evening

Hot chocolates and cake.. a simple order…Took ages….Cakes were microwaved to disguise that they were stale, the base was rock hard, crusty; old.The hot chocolates were not hot, nearly warm.Used to be a fabulous place under the old ownership.

Popped in for lunch on a whim as we were passing. Really friendly staff who accommodated all the dietary needs of our party. Food was full of flavour. We’ll be back!

Loved the food and service here. We had a shakshouka and a full Mediterranean brezze, which was basically a full breakfast, but make it mediterranean. Every item served was so fresh that it has become the benchmark for us when we look for mediterranean places to eat at.If it weren't so far from where we live, we'd go there every other week for a breakfast like that

Well, where do I ever begin.Have been a regular visitor to the coffee club for well over 10 years, the food used to be exceptional, service amazing, and atmosphere absolutely buzzing.Visited yesterday excited to have one of the amazing breakfasts there, ever took a few friends along for the ride.The food was diabolical, and that's being polite. The sausages were the cheapest, maize filled sausages I have ever had the displeasure of sampling, a rookie cost cutting mistake. The cherry tomatoes had been shown zero love and were cold. Literally a sprinkling of poorly cooked mushrooms, a greasy deep fried hashbrown, again cheap, minging. The eggs...dear lord, they'd been shown the frying pan, the whites were completely raw on top, they were horrendous.My tea was served with a bag...in a percolator, weird.Really really sad that this place has gone so far down hill.It used to busy, it was dead quiet for a Saturday morning, I can't imagine how disappointed the local elderly regularly visitors must be.

This is a restaurant that does justice to Mediterranean cuisine. When we went this time, the menu was renewed and full of great seafood. The price range is the same as last year and you will not be surprised if you come in large groups. We definitely recommend it for your special occasions. We will be back for Christmas

One of the great places to visit in Westbourne. Friendly service and we have never been disappointed since we changed owners last year. If you haven't tried it yet, make a reservation now and try it. ♥️

Absolutely shocking. We were a group of 4. We had 3 starters one main meal and a bottle of wine. The green bean salad was tasteless. The total cost was £97 . I would never go again. I would advise anyone to avoid this place if you want value for

Our meal in the relaxed atmosphere here was most enjoyable. Our king prawn starter was superb and our filet mignon main course was cooked to perfection. All served with delicious sauces. All in all a wonderful evening and we were made very welcome.

We went for a late light lunch at 2pm; only one other table occupied. The waitress was delightful, helpful and friendly. We ordered coffees and a sandwich each, from a rather limited menu. The coffee arrived, hot and most enjoyable, and we finished it before our sandwiches arrived. Eventually, the sandwiches turned up, with a littlewilted saladon the side. I have no idea what the rolls were made from but just one bite got me thinking it was akin bird seed, dry and crumbly with dry little filling. My son's was pretty similar so he went to have a word with the waitresses, who immediately wanted to put things right, but I had an appointment at 3pm and it was now 2.40... she said they'd be quick but at 2.55 I left, without my sandwich, asking my son to request it be made 'to go' as could not wait any longer. They did eventually turn up, pretty much as before! My son, in despair, politely refused them again, saying we'd enjoyed the coffee but that was it. These sandwiches were £9 and £10 + each!!! Shameful!!!

Would put no stars if I could. Used to love this place and come in here often (as you can see from my previous review), but I will never return after the rude service we experienced. Very poor and disappointing.We arrived and asked the member of staff at the bar if we could bring our small dog in. She said yes and said to sit where you like. We sat down, the waitress passed us menus, and we took our coats off etc. Then a male member of staff came over and said we would need to move to the back of the restaurant because of the dog, despite having already asked if we could bring her in. Instead of acknowledging their mistake and letting us stay, they made the whole situation very awkward and uncomfortable and proceeded to stare at us oddly whilst we were leaving making me feel very uncomfortable that I even told the man he was being weird. We come into bamboo a lot for breakfasts and it’s my go to place whenever my friends visit, but we will vote with our wallets and never return

I was so excited to try 44 bamboo for breakfast with my other half. I left unfortunately bitterly disappointed, I ordered the ‘Mediterranean Breeze’ which consists of:Turkish style spread with two eggs, garlic beef spicy sausage, olives, baby tomatoes, sliced avocado, fruit & mixed salad with feta cheese, grilled halloumi & honey topped with walnuts served with sourdough bread & cheese filled pastry. Costing £12.90The breakfast I was served didn’t contain: beef spicy sausage, sliced avocado, halloumi and no topping of walnuts. All of the pricier ingredient’s. I didn’t bring it up with the staff, to me it wasn’t just a simple mistake, the breakfast was not a mistake for something else on the menu, as there was nothing else that matched up on the menu with it. In my opinion that is a business trying to be sneaky and save money, not good practice and comes across like plain greed, leaving this customer feeling upset & unsatisfied.Please give customers what they are paying for.
