Bistro 51

It's an amazing fine dining experience serving authentic Indian cuisine. From the house of Taj group from India, each and every dish was made meticulously and yummylicious. We had Lamb Seekh Kebab, Chicken Reshmi Kebab and Chaat for starters. As part of the Diwali celebration, we were served with Thandai👌 as welcome drink. The Mains came as a complete royal thali treatment. The platter had Saag, Dum Aloo, Butter Chicken, Prawn Curry, Pilau Rice, Salads, Papad along with Butter Naan, Roti, and Paratha. The food just melted in our mouth. The hospitality was mind-blowing. Would highly recommend and definitely coming back soon.

Had their breakfast buffet as part of our stay at the St. James Court Hotel. The restaurant was quite busy and there was a queue of guests waiting to be seated delite numerous tables at the entrance of the restaurant being vacant. We were sat within 10 minutes. The food spiciness and hotness is definately toned down to suit the western palette. The omelette was perfectly cooked. The aloo (potato) parantha wasn't the crispiest but flavor was toned down. The bacon at the buffet table was good but, a little salty. Fruits were good.

Me and my partner went here for our anniversary and we got a lovely surprise. The menu is very well labelled with gluten free and vegetarian, there should be a bit more dishes that do both but it was okay and easy to read. We both got small plates as a starter. Mine came in the shape of sushi rolls but there was no chopsticks. I was told to use my cutlery but it broke apart so I used my hands. The food wasn’t the best tasting but the experience was amazing. The anniversary dessert the chef kindly made gluten free for me was so delicious and made my evening. They need heating though because it was freezing and the lighting was too bright so it wasn’t very romantic. We were not charged for our dessert which was lovely. It was £140 for starters, mains and prosecco. I would definitely come back but make sure you dress up or you will feel out of place.

All I want to add about this location is the fact that the place where the restaurant is located is truly magical. If you like to serve a coffee in the open air, with a beautiful view, without crowding around, this is the perfect place. The restaurant and the place where it is located has an Italian touch, which is perfect for taking some very instagrammable pictures. The food is delicious, the menu is not overly expensive as it sounds here, you can also find Italian food. The service is very good, all employees are very responsive.

Had the best time having dinner with a party of 10. Ivonio took excellent care of us and gave the much needed attention, humor and service. The food was tasty and a nice fusion between italian and Indian cuisine. The lamb bao buns were tasty and spicy, and the sides that came with the grills weee great
