"I have always been a fan of Jasmine, our favorite Indian restaurant for the past 20 years (my mom even remembers when it first opened over 30 years ago!). The family that runs it is wonderful and the food is consistently fantastic. We made a reservation for my dad's birthday (coinciding with Mother's Day for my mom and grandmother). Since we hadn't been able to visit in person since the lockdown, this was a truly special occasion for us. When we arrived, we were seated in a cozy booth and given menus to choose from. Surprisingly, the restaurant was quite quiet with not many other diners present, even though we stayed for over 2 hours during Mother's Day weekend. The staff was very busy with takeout orders. We ordered a variety of dishes including Chicken Tikka Tandoori, Aloo Gobi, Korma, Plain Naan, Golden Chicken Curry, and Butter Chicken. The food was beautifully presented and hot, living up to Jasmine's usual high standard, with generous portions. For drinks, we 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, feeding four adults. The restaurant hasn't been redecorated in a while but is still clean, bright with nice details like branded hot serviettes and after-dinner chocolates. Parking is convenient with a free car park nearby. There is a step up into the restaurant and stairs to the restroom, so accessibility may be a concern. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow due to only two waitresses juggling takeout and dine-in customers. However, they were polite and happy to provide recommendations. Overall, it was a wonderful night of delicious food and great company, and I look forward to visiting again."
