Lemongrass Restaurant

This is a quaint little place I would love to come back to! It’s a house that’s been changed to accommodate restaurant and dining. I really love the decor- seats with cushions nestled into corners which lends itself to awesome relaxation with friends!

The menu is interesting and I enjoyed two starters which were yummy, especially their peanut satay sauce- a must!
A friend had the sundried tomato and spinach pasta and she couldn’t stop raving about it
Try the Thai deep fried ice cream- the crumb has flavours that transport you over to the Middle East! Yum!

The staff are wonderful, engaging and friendly and even more so are the resident kitty cats

I googled nice restaurants near me for a date with my wife and thought this place would be perfect from pictures. I thought the environment would allow me to sit and have beautiful conversations with my wife.

My experience was horrible, we had to return the cutlery because it was dirty, the waiter did not understand the menu and worst of all?Their table was not stable and their chair broke while I was eating and I fell to the ground. I didn’t fight because my wife asked me to just let it go.

I would never ever recommend this place to anyone, period…

My wife took us there for my birthday. She looked for something special and hit the nail right on the head. The place is a gem. The menu provides a wide variety of special dishes. We are definitely going back to try a few more.

I didn't quite like my experience here. When we got there, the lights were off and it was dead silent. It didn't seem like they were prepared for customers. They didn't have a drink menu and the waitress could not tell us the prices or what was on offer either. I suggest that they create a digital version of their drinks menu if the problem is paper wastage or costs. To top that off, we asked for the bill and had to remind the waitress twice before I walked up and paid.

We had a meal at Leongrass on Sunday. Food and service was really good. They seem to catch up speed again after Lockdown 3. The place needs some TLC and attention. Will definately be going back in the near future. I will recommend everyone to go and experience it for yourselves

It was our monthly bookclub get together. Lovely log fire kept the winter chills at bay, an attentive waiter and the eats were of a hugh standard. All in all an enjoyable Saturday afternoon.

Fancy a taste experience of Indonesia or Dutch Cuisine then Lemongrass is the place to go ! Situated in a cosmopolitan street this hidden Wonder has many surprises waiting for you. On entering this old world restaurant built over a 100 years ago you are greated with a style and wonder that the owner Ivonne Taylor has carefully and knowingly designed with many many imported exotic ornaments and absolutely gorgeous fabrics. As you walk over wooden floors with hand woven carpets you hear the sounds of gentle music in the background with a touch of soul. The waiters are very well groomed and dressed semi formal and they remind me of top class waiters that would only be found in a First class cabin of an international airline. They seem to breeze and flow through the room and take care of your needs without any effort. Lovely music with tunes from the pianists playing on the keys that got the patrons to clap hands after each piece from the piano making this even more memorable. Now the food - oh my goodness.
Firstly the presentation is tops with attention to detail. We tried the Indonesian style food. My palate was alive with Subtly spiced without being extravagant flavors and secret spices( no not referring to the food being chili’s —- it’s spiced ) Every bite a mouth watering experience. The food is vibrant and colourful and clearly preparation done by top chefs in the kitchen. In winter there is a crackling wood fire place. While you enjoying the meal browse around at the pressed ceiling and the hard wood floors. The area had a gentle smell of coriander , rosemary , turmeric and gentle spices. Sounds from the kitchen made you realize that food is freshly prepared. Hidden outside around a corner is an area where on certain nights folks come around as a community and listen to local artists playing their tunes on a stage. A few tables and a fire place for the cold evenings. Toilets facilities are of the cleanest I have seen. There is free WiFi for 2 hours and the waitrons are more than pleased to assist with that. A security guard looks after your vehicles in a well lit dedicated parking lot.
