A nice atmosphere & friendly staff, food was very nice but a little over priced compared to other Indian restaurants of equal quality.

Had a birthday dinner at Bouchon du Rossi last evening. I would like to give 5 stars, as I have always done so in the past. But no, not tonight Josephine. In hindsight, I shall begin enquiring when I make my booking ~ 'do you have any large table bookings on this evening? There were 3 large bookings which seemed to dominate everything from waitrons through to the kitchen. I have never been served warm food before at Bouchon. The chips were not up to their usual standard, they were hard. Vegetable side dishes and boiled potatoes were the only hot food of the meal. Sauce portions which used to cover the plate, barely managed half way. One dessert was ordered as a ' take home' for someone who could not come with. It was packed in an ice cream tub with some kind of film covering it. The profiterol eaten at the table, had stood around and was already melting when eaten. Including the owner's partner, there were 5 waitrons. It appeared that they were run off their feet. A lot of attention being required at the larger tables. HOWEVER, I will say, it's my opinion that the waitrons make this restaurant as much as the food usually does. They are always friendly, cheerful and work hard to make the customers feel welcome. One of the main reasons we return.

Everyone enjoyed the food and service. Fresh fluffy naans and a perfect dhansak. Good portion sizes. Bit pushy on the starters and side dishes - we know they exist!!! Drinks choices were a bit limited.

Great food. Be prepared for it to take a long time on a busy Saturday!

Such a shame this was my favourite place four years ago sadly been met with appauling service made to feel very unwelcome and ruined a celebratory night:( food ok but orders got muddled this felt as if it was my fault. Feel sorry for staff the stress they will get tonight.

Visited here with my wife, despite having a few in, the service is quick and efficient. Food is excellent and the vindaloo extra spicy delicious. We will definitely recommend and return.

The manners of the guy that served me was just lovely . In these times it’s rare .The food was fresh , clean feeling , not stodgy . Absolutely delicious.Even the “neon “ mint sauce . I couldn’t find the yoghurt / raita though which would’ve been a perfect accompaniment.Vegetarian options: Seemed ok

Probably the best Indian food I have ever had. Delicious fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. No booking made, but accomodated a table of 6.

Probably the very best Indian food we've ever had. Really busy restaurant but each table/booth felt intimate and quiet. Super attentive staff and really friendly but polite. Wish we lived nearer...we'd eat there at least once a week! Strongly recommend booking to avoid missing out.

Despite not booking, they managed to squeeze us in a table of 6 on a Saturday night.A huge menu with masses of choice, but nicely laid out and with little explainers on some of the lesser known dishes.The wait for food was decent and the food itself excellent. We had a large variety of dishes between us and everyone was happy with what they ordered.The only downside is that it took quite a long time to get the bill when we had clearly finished and we’re ready to leave.Otherwise the staff we attentive on drinks and extras and the atmosphere was nice.Despite being a big place there’s plenty of small nooks and half rooms to keep it cosy.

I visited jewel balti last month with my family. It was quite busy but luckily we booked our table. I was fancy for a beef dish, so waiter suggested me jewel balti mangsho. I must mention that it was one of the best beef dish i have ever tried. Beef was so tender and juicy. It had some potato as well. Rest of my family loved their dishes too. I must recommend this place. Service was top class. Definitely coming back again.
