Was really looking forward to going to this restaurant. I love the art deco period and this restaurant was originally the Carron tea rooms built in the 1930s. There are two entrances, the one that we used, which takes you straight into the dining area, is an open room with large original art deco windows. The other entrance takes you into a beautiful art deco bar area with comfy sofas. The corridor between the bar and restaurant has cleverly been designed as a train (see photos) giving you the experience of travelling on a train in India. This is a great idea but there was no-one sitting there during our visit. Our vegan requests were not an issue and the food was lovely, although the bhuna could have had more spice. It would have been nice to have had another option for non alcoholic drinks such as a cider or bottle of nozecco. Staff were attentive and professional, but could have been more welcoming and would have been nice to get a goodbye when we left the restaurant. Those are the personal touches thar make us want to go back. £45 bill was really good value for money. I read that there was a lot of money spent on restoring the art deco features in the restaurant, and i expected it to have more of a wow factor than in did, but it was lovely to see the mirror rumoured to have been designed by Picasso himself. Hidden behind the boring brown toilet doors are some lovely art deco toilets. Well worth a trip to this restaurant. A hidden gem.

We love the vibe and atmosphere. The train corridor through to the stunning art deco dining room, superb. The food was well worth the wait on a busy Saturday night. The staff are exceptional and friendly. Our first visit and we will definitely be back. Great menu and service
