Banana Tree Soho

Booked here for my birthday as read in a previous review they have Gluten Free options. Only starter that’s GF is salad which is poor! There’s about 4-5 mains that are GF. The rice was hard & dried out, and there was not enough sauce in the curry to wet the dried out rice to the end, so left a third of it. Ordered 2 cocktails each at start and these did not come until we had finished eating! We didn’t even have water on the table so absolutely nothing to wash the food down with! Was suppose to get coleslaw with the meal but got done limp shredded lettuce instead! Service at our table was dreadful and the whole place was chaotic & noisy. Went to the loo, they were dirty with “liquid” all round the base of the bowl! Whilst waiting to use them I waited in the corridor, and could see into the kitchen - shocked to see how dirty the floor was - really bad and how dirty the rags were that they were using to wipe stuff!! Turned up 10 mins early and the manager told us to wait even though there were plenty of tables empty and ready all wiped down! There was also a queue outside, which we were in initially but after 15 mins of not moving yet seeing empty tables through the window, we booked a slot online as we were queuing so we got in a fraction quicker. Refused the cocktails when they arrived as did not want to be sitting in this awful place trying to knock back 2 cocktails on a dinner! Finally got some water toWould not recommend this place and will never be returning! Ruined my birthday night!

The food was good, I tried the Pad Thai ( rice noodles - gluten free), and it was delicious However, the service didn’t quite match the food quality, When I requested small plates and extra lime it took a while for them to arrive

Delicious gluten free options, and 241 on tasty cocktails is never a bad thing.
