    Would definitely not recommend this place if you want to experience Indian food The decor and service is good Also very child friendly But the food the main reason for coming was a total and utter let down The veg starter platter tested as if it was made before and simply reheated had a repugnant smell to it The Kerala prawns where nice but the tandoor prawns had no wow factor to them The best thing we ate probably would have been the tandoori nans , we ordered garlic ones but they did not have any garlic taste to them But they where nice

    Food was terrible. I love Indian food but this was inedible. Edit: It was earlier this year since you must know. The dissatisfaction was noted on the night in question since we ended up only paying for drinks and sending the dishes back to the kitchen. Most business owners don't respond so venomously to critical reviews. Your response really says a lot.

    Very tasty food and a friendly, attentive service. The food is a little pricey, but worth it and the best Indian I had in Barbados.

    Great Indian restaurant with all the classic dishes. Exceptional nann bread, very light and fluffy. We ate inside due to the number of people smoking on the terrace, as it made it a very toxic environment. Can't understand restaurants who allow smoking at any tables?

    We loved this restaurant so much that we visited a couple of times. The food was fresh and tasty, the service was excellent on all levels. Next time we are in Barbados we will look forward to visiting again. A huge thank you to the staff.

    We booked on line and on arrival we were told that they had a restricted menu. This was ok because the food we wanted was still on the menu. We asked for water before our meal which is very common in this hot country, but were charged $12 for it. They took it off our bill, but you need to watch for this. Having said all that, the food was very good

    Really good food, great service and brilliant welcoming vibe. Wonderful spot to dine and enjoy delicious curries and rum sours while holidaying in Barbados.

  • 2/5 Kajal S. 6 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately the food wasn't good. Too much spices used and the vegetable fritter starter was full of sugar. The channa masala was overloaded with spices. I had heartburn. The butter chicken curry was sweet. Never had Indian food that tastes like that. Was a shame as I was looking forward to it after reading the reviews

  • 5/5 Melissa J. 7 months ago on Google
    This food is so authentically wonderful and Indian we watched people make reservations for the next night while eating the current night. Papadan, rice, naan, lamb and seafood were all perfectly spiced and amazingly delicious! Kudos!! Great bar selections as well.

    I would highly recommend this Indian restaurant. The food was amazing, the staff very friendly and set in a nice location with ample seating.

    Second time around. Was here 6 months ago and the lady, I believe is the owner, recognised me straight away. Now that's knowing your customers. As the first time, beautiful food. Cannot say otherwise. Everything about it is beautiful, relaxed, and welcoming. Will be back in 6 months time.

  • 5/5 Mark Lawrence C. 1 year ago on Google
    The freshest Indian food I have had in many years. The best on the island!

  • 5/5 Alan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Indian food with good ingredients. I had a lamb rogan josh. Best I’ve had anywhere. Super clean restaurant and lovely staff. I left my phone behind and the waitress chased after me for ages to return it. Utterly charming.

  • 5/5 Anna H. 2 years ago on Google
    Fab restaurant. I really love the food here and would recommend it to anyone visiting Barbados. Great vibes too, really fun night every time. I especially love the chicken tikka, butter chicken pizza and chicken 65. Top marks.

  • 5/5 Jumi J. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant owner and his brother who owns a restaurant on the south side of Barbados, do the best Indian food on the island. It is authentic ( MSG free) in taste and presentation. I am not ashamed to say that during the 4 weeks I have been here I have attended this restaurant 3 times and the one on the south coast at least 7 times. In fact the south side owner gave me a complimentary meal. I just love the food, tastes great, clean, affordable and important for me MSG free. And the final key point. The South side branch, the owner is often on site. A truly nice man, welcoming, pleasant all around and always smiling.

    I had a lovely meal here. Chicken was high quality and curry flavours fantastic. I didn’t leave hungry . Prices reasonable (for Barbados) and the busy staff were very attentive and friendly. I didn’t try them but cocktails looked really good. Next time!

    Tucked midway along the quaint 2nd Street in Holetown, each time I treasure the relaxed atmosphere with that special Indian-Bajan flare, sincere service...and the food...just tantalizes the tastebuds.

  • 4/5 Keniel L. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the best Indian on the Island. Well spiced and very flavorful. I was way too hungry to take photos. Pricey, but what isn't in Bim. Worth a try. Hopefully I will dine in next time.

  • 5/5 Ian S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Not So Many B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good Indian food. Wine list was nothing to write home about. Three times more expensive than UK but hey ho! Worth a visit if you need your Indian fix

  • 5/5 William G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great authentic Indian restaurant, very impressed by the quality of the food and lived up to expectations being regulars at many great curry houses back home.

    Excellent service to go along with a great meal. Drinks on point and recommendations from staff saves money and food.

👍👍 With all the shutters open its quite the open air restaurant. High top tables are a plenty, but will fill up quickly around supper time. Ordering is easy with an amazing menu with several choices from fish to jerk chicken and your favorite salad. The food is absolutely amazing.
