10/10Great drinks, food and service. Only annoying thing was they forgot to apply the 50% deal so had to tell them to redo the bill.

9/10The food is delicious. Atmosphere is good. Service is excellent, particularly Way and Kayo. They were very attentive, kind and friendly. The best dishes were goat and the egg hopper. Fish is fair. Calamari wasn’t marinated, so if without sauce no taste at all.

10/10The food is so different from the usual run of the mill stuff. Lots of amazing flavours and the cocktails were good too. Also it is very unusual to see Red Stripe on tap. And the staff were friendly.

8/10First time visiting the coconut tree. I had £50 yums rewards to use and restaurant excepted. Never eaten Sri Lankan food before that I'm aware of so we thought we'd give it a try. I am vegetarian but other guests were meat eaters. Service was great, the waiter was great and talked us through the tapas style menu and how many dishes to try. We went wild with the selection and everything was delicious. Jackfruit wings, manho curry and cheese cubes were the tables favourite dishes. We aren't drinking ks bar 1 but had mocktails. For 4 dinning we spent £150. They didn't remove the mums reward so had to mention and get refunded but this was all a smooth process. I'll be back for sure.

Always a good meal. But I am noting their portion sizes in rice are becoming smaller and smaller but it's fresh and tastes good

6/10We got to our booking just after 4.30pm to find one table in the venue. Sat quickly by a server that worked there and followed us in from the front from his vape break. We sat and the man kindly asked if I needed any help with the menu to which I replied no thank you. We ordered our drinks and received them promptly. It all went massively down hill from there. The same server came back and took our order. He then seemed to disappear. At this point a staff member that had finished work as we got there was outside with a group of young men in tracksuits. Another staff member came up and asked if we wanted anything, we asked for the beers which she didn’t know, she then went outside with the group leaning all over the barriers. After being there 45 minutes we asked about our food to be told the original server didn’t put it through. We got the food another 15 minutes later, ate, stacked our plates, went to the bar to pay and left. To then be stared at by the group in tracksuits.

8/10Great Food and customer service from Hazel. Three small plates per person plus a roti was pleanty for us. The food does not comprise on flavour and the spicing certainly does not over power the main ingredient, leaving you with a great taste. Really enjoyed the evening, especially with inoffensive pricing too.

10/10A welcoming and spacious Sri Lankan themed restaurant which is good value and caters for gluten free and vegan diets. The staff were welcoming and my friend enjoyed his peppered pork coconut curry while I enjoyed a mix of vegan fried rice with veggies and chilli, juicy beetroot baduma and succulent coconut sambol (since I didn’t feel like a rich, creamy meal which you could also have, maybe next time) all washed down with Tiger Beer (red stripe also available). I would definitely return here.

9.5/10Food was lovely very well prepared. But because aware they don't take cash so if going in a large group sort out alternative payment beforehand.

10/10The serving sizes are on the smaller side, so if you have a hearty appetite, I recommend ordering multiple mains to share. However, the food quality is exceptional. My partner, who hails from the Caribbean, particularly enjoyed the goat curry, as it brought back fond memories of home. Personally, I found the prawn curry to be delightful, given my Asian background. We both savored the calamari as well. The ambiance of the restaurant is also fantastic; it exudes a relaxed vibe that made our dining experience truly enjoyable. We're definitely planning to return in the future.

9.5/10The food was amazing and tasted so good. My friend had so many vegan options to choose from. If full priced, the food might be a pricey as you need 2-3 dishes, but for 50% off the price was amazing. 100% going back soon as all the food going to different tables looked so good and there are so many food options.

8.5/10Great food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Our order wasn't quite right but we didn't make a fuss. The wine tasted a bit weak!
