Richard's review of Trishna

First the good point: the food is really very good. Ok, you might think that this is the most important thing in a restaurant and, whilst it is clearly the raison d'être of a restaurant, you go out and spend money for the whole experience. At Trishna, the real problem lies in the decor: bare wooden floors and exposed brickwork may be oh so trendy and look achingly cool, but they also lead to sound bouncing around to such a degree that it is difficult to hold a conversation (the first time we went, we were sat next to a table of twelve: conversation was impossible).

If you go, and it is worth a try, go in summer, so that you can sit outside (or bring earplugs and a pen and paper, so that you can at least write to your companion, even if you can't hear them).
