点评:Always loved the Jasmine - this is our go-to Indian restaurant and has been for around 20 years (and Mum remembers when it first opened over 30 years ago!). The family who run it are lovely and the food is consistently smashing.
I made a booking for my dad's birthday (doubled up with Mother's Day for my mother and grandmother). We've not visited in person since the lockdown, so this was truly a special occasion! When we arrived, we were shown to one of the booths off to the side and given menus to peruse.
The restaurant itself was quite quiet which was a surprise; there weren't many parties dining in (and we stayed for over 2 hours) given it was Mother's Day weekend but they were very busy with take-out.
We all went for a variety of different meals and sides - the Chicken Tikka Tandoori, Aloo Gobi, Korma, Plain Naan, Golden Chicken Curry (one of the Jasmine's specials) and a Butter Chicken. Food was brought out beautifully presented and hot; everyone agreed that the food was up to the Jasmine's usual standard and the portions have remained very generous over the years!
To wash this lovely grub down, our table ordered a bottle of water, two tonic waters and two Cobra beers. The bill at the end of the night was very reasonable at just under £70 - not many places that'll feed four adults for that!
The restaurant hasn't had a re-decoration in quite some time; it looks exactly the same as it did 10 years ago, but it's still clean, bright, with some lovely attentions to detail - little branded hot serviettes, branded after-dinner chocolates, glass illustrated panels dividing the booths.
Parking is good - there's a large free car park just around the corner by Tonic Day Spa, and if by chance that's full, you can easily find alternatives around the back of the High Street. Accessibility is something to note; there is a step up into the restaurant, and stairs up to the loo.
The only downside I could mention is that you'll need to be patient; there were only two ladies on the waiting staff, and they were juggling take-out and in-house customers. Very polite and happy to give recommendations, but they were pretty rushed off their feet when we visited. If you want to see the dessert or coffee menu, or if you're in a rush and want the bill straight away, it's worth asking when someone arrives to take your plates. You might not be able to catch their eye too quickly after that!
Looking forward to visiting again, it was a lovely night full of good food and company.
翻译:一直很喜欢 Jasmine - 这是我们常去的印度餐厅,已有大约 20 年的历史(妈妈还记得它在 30 多年前首次开业时的情景!)。经营它的家庭很可爱,食物一直很美味。
我为我父亲的生日做了预订(与我母亲和祖母的母亲节一起预订)。自封锁以来我们没有亲自拜访过,所以这真是一个特殊的时刻!当我们到达时,我们被带到旁边的一个摊位,并给了我们菜单供我们仔细阅读。
餐厅本身很安静,这令人惊讶。考虑到这是母亲节周末,没有多少派对在餐厅用餐(我们待了 2 个多小时),但他们非常忙于外卖。
我们都点了各种不同的餐点和配菜——Tikka Tandoori 鸡肉、Aloo Gobi、Korma、Plain Naan、Golden Chicken Curry(Jasmine 的特色菜之一)和黄油鸡。食物被端上来,摆盘精美,而且很热;每个人都认为这里的食物符合 Jasmine 一贯的标准,而且这些年来份量一直很足!
为了洗掉这只可爱的蛴螬,我们的餐桌点了一瓶水、两杯奎宁水和两杯 Cobra 啤酒。晚上结束时的账单非常合理,不到 70 英镑 - 没有多少地方可以养活四个成年人!
餐厅已经有一段时间没有重新装修了。它看起来和 10 年前一模一样,但它仍然干净、明亮,并且对细节有一些可爱的关注——小品牌的热餐巾、品牌的餐后巧克力、分隔展位的玻璃插图面板。
停车方便 - Tonic Day Spa 拐角处有一个大型免费停车场,如果碰巧停满了,您可以轻松地在 High Street 后面找到替代方案。可访问性是值得注意的;有一个台阶进入餐厅,楼梯上到厕所。
我能提到的唯一缺点是您需要耐心等待;侍应生中只有两位女士,她们在兼顾外卖和内部顾客。非常有礼貌,乐于提出建议,但我们访问时他们很匆忙。如果您想查看甜点或咖啡菜单,或者如果您很着急并希望立即结账,不妨询问一下何时有人来拿走您的盘子。在那之后你可能无法很快引起他们的注意!
期待再次光临,这是一个充满美食和陪伴的美好夜晚。
