Banyan was a delightful surprise! Wonderful ambiance with pleasant music in the background at just the right decibels. And the river view was magnificent. The food is a good blend of East and West, with more Asian flavours, but appealing to all palates I'd say. We had the Cromer crab and mango and king prawn, with a set of deliciously tender lamb chops, to round off our dinner with a delicious dessert of kheer brulee. The staff was warm, attentive, and eager to please but not ingratiating. The piece de resistance was the fantastic price we paid! Great great value for money. Summertime lunch/dinner dates at the Banyan are a must!
