Mandakini

Dined 3 days ago

Fabulous second time dining here for my husband's birthday. Perfect place for a very special treat. From the moment you arrive you are looked after and made to feel at home. They remembered a dietary requirement from a previous booking 4 years ago that I had forgotten to add into my booking. We didn't feel rushed and enjoyed a leisurely 3 hour lunch with nibbles, wine and the non-alcoholic pairing was fantastic. The only dish not quite to my liking was the dessert...I would have preferred something less savoury and more sweet. This felt like a cheese course and we had already added one as a supplement. Other than that the service was faultless. We have some goodies to enjoy today. We didn't need to eat again for the rest of the day (and couldn't if we tried)!
