The Bombay Bicycle Club

They have swings for chairs at one of the tables. The food was fairly good albeit a bit on the more "not so exciting for the price" category. With that being said, it was still nice and enjoyable. Overall experience was positive with friendly staff. There are hats available should you want to immerse yourself in the experience. We'll definitely return!

I was expecting so much more from my dining experience. I was particularly looking forward to it because I hadn't been since the renovations and was particularly excited about seeing the changes and enjoying the food. Firstly, the decor is amazing, the place is looking really great, the staff are very friendly and the ambiance is much like I remember it to be. From the time we walked in everything was great. We were seated and after a few minutes attended to by Nono. It seemed like Nono and Rheece were the only people on the floor. This definitely affected the service as I felt it was very slow and the orders took long. The food was below average. I had previously asked about their ribs and checked with Rheece whether they were smoked as they could have changed it since I last enquired. He advised that they were not but in fact, they were. The pasta was a let down, bland and creamy, the steak was not cooked to the level requested. This was not brought to the manager's attention because we were too hungry to be bothered or wait for them to correct it. I was very disappointed by the food. It put a damper on the evening. It looked delicious but didn't taste it and I expected more. I was looking forward to a great meal but got a below average one, according to me and my crew, of course.

First time visiting BBC, overall good experience worth trying.

Firstly you have to make a booking (especially on a Friday night when we visited). The decor inside is quite intimate and cosy. Important to note that the place does get really busy and quite festive on a Friday night.

As a vegetarian there’s about 4/5 options on the menu. We enjoyed our pasta below although portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side considering the price.

Would recommend the ravioli over the mushroom pasta which tasted a bit basic. The Camembert starter was also quite tasty.

Our waitress was friendly and polite, however the service was not great. Probably because we were also seated on the top floor on a busy night.

She had through the evening forgotten our order on multiple instances (drinks/side portion of chili for our pasta) and was most of the time difficult to track down.

Also check your bill because an extra meal was mistakenly added to ours.

Tip: drinks are really good here - just make sure you order from the cocktail menu. I got a cucumber smash (not on menu and waitress recommended) which was unfortunately 50% filled glass and with big pieces of cucumber and ice and not worth it.

Overall experience: Might come back for a night out and drinks to experience the vibe. Would rather eat food elsewhere with better more reliable service (note this is important to me personally)

Not only is the decor so superbly unique, the food, cocktails and service are beyond phenomenal. Thank you dearest Sephora, Rees, Harry the musician and the rest of the team at Bombay Bicycle Club for making me feel extra special on my birthday.

First time at Bombay Bicycle and it was a really rad experience. Food was great, we ordered the baby chicken, Bombay cheese burger, chicken con polla pasta and a Bombay chicken burger. The vibe is pretty decent and I absolutely love the decor! Cocktails are a definite!
