I depend for my food and culinary ventures on Michelin series of guides or Zagat Survey that compiles consumer comments instead of using professional food critics. It is so far regrettably neither being rated by Michelin nor Zagat; after yesterday evening gala it definitely deserves a very strong rating for what I call a high class food served with some very special care to technique of cooking. Banyan is situated on a unique summer sunset south west alignment that offers perfect sunset, though it is a new player on the London scene it has some greatest of views of London Thames river water line and sunset. Incoming tide and regular helicopter landings makes it a very panoramic place. Views alone don’t sell restaurant, there is where this place comes on top, the quality of food and service. Steaks and accompanying paraphernalia of sauce and vegetables are usually most difficult to cook, for me the way Banyan presents the two in a nice treatment associated with a reasonable costs makes it an attractive propositions, I think great selections of wine add certain another nice dimension to peculiarity of the restaurant. No service charges and absence of hidden surprises like expensive water is the best attraction, I liked the purified bottled free water bottle under ‘brand name of Rafayel is a great effort to save Thames from plastic bottles.This entire experience makes Banyan so unique, once fully discovered this hidden gem will soon become Mecca of culinary delight.
