    the staff were very welcoming and explained how the menu worked . tapas style . the Hopper was recommended (a thin pancake filled with tomato spicy caramelised onion chutney and an egg. ) all to be rolled together. and enjoyed. we had a mix of dishes which we all shared. I enjoyed the fish curry being very tasteful not hot . my friend who is gluten free and vegetarian was well catered for. the vegetarian rice was a meal in itself we were very full and managed to share a panacotta which was a nice finish to the meal . passion fruit mocktail was very refreshing. we would definitely return

    Crispy breaded shrimp with a sweet glaze and sesame seeds, alongside a mix of chargrilled vegetables and battered fish garnished with fresh lime wedges.
    A variety of dishes including fluffy rice, stir-fried noodles with soy sauce, rich shrimp curry with lime, chargrilled meat garnished with herbs, warm flatbread, and a tangy beet salad with onion.
    Sautéed vegetables including shredded cabbage and carrots, served with fluffy white rice for a fresh and healthy meal.

    A variety of dishes including fluffy rice, marinated grilled meat with tomatoes and bell peppers, creamy curry garnished with red chili, a mixed vegetable dish, and savory fried rice with vegetables and protein, creating a diverse and hearty meal.

    We had a fantastic meal at the Coconut Tree in Bournemouth. The food was delicious and portions more generous than we expected. The mango curry and prawns were especially good. Staff were also really friendly and helpful

    The food looked great, was well prepared and tasted delicious. The decor is spot on and there's a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant all night. We arrived at 5pm and were the first customers. Even on our own we were having a great time. By the time we left at about 7:30pm the place was really busy and the groups were so varied. There were families, there were groups of friends, there were date-nights. We loved it and we'll definitely be back

    Crispy appam topped with a soft-cooked egg and three distinct toppings: a savory brown chutney, a sweet spiced carrot or pumpkin mixture, and a nutty coconut or lentil blend.

    Yummy food, tapas size portions - only worth it with 50% off deal.

    Decided to try this restaurant during a mini break. Nice restaurant friendly staff, nice food. Quite shocked on my travel to the toilets to see the state of the hallways passing the kitchen. Just didn’t look clean or tidy. Had I used the toilets before our meal I wouldn’t have stayed for a meal.

    Went here after a site visit. Having been to their Oxford branch many years ago, it was a familiar name. Outstanding food and service. Go there hungry! Wish there was one in London!

    Too much food! Ordered and was told not enough so ordered one more dish and was far too much. Enough for double the number of people and expensive too. Slow service when ready for second drink.
