The food is really good but the service leaves a bad taste. There was a long wait time for drinks once we had ordered. The food arrived in a good amount of time and was served well but the drinks service wasn’t great at all. It took a long while to get coffee at the end. They lost a coat and we kindly received a lecture from one waiter about the importance of getting a ticket for your coat even though they said they would put the coats together. Really let down by the service.
VatavaranResponded on November 28, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. While we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food, we sincerely apologize for the service issues you experienced. Long wait times for drinks and coffee, as well as the mishandling of the coat situation, are not reflective of the standards we strive for. We understand how these missteps impacted your experience, and we will address these concerns with our team to ensure improvements are made. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the seamless dining experience you deserve.

We had a fantastic evening at Vatavaran. The food was amazing, but the lamb curry was a bit salty to our palette ; rest everything was spot on.

This was hands down THEE BEST restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. The decor, the drinks, the service, the staff and last but by no means the least the food - exceptional. It was a taste sensation. The staff are so professional and know the ingredients of every dish and give expert advice. So good I can’t put it into words. Outstanding dishes were lamb shank breyani, the fish and butter chicken - all the sides and vegetarian options were equally as good. We had a bread basket and that was also on another level of excellence.
VatavaranResponded on November 28, 2024
Dear Kathryn, Wow, thank you for such an incredible review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience and consider us the best restaurant you’ve ever dined at—what an honor! It’s wonderful to know that everything from the decor and drinks to the service and food exceeded your expectations. We’re especially glad you loved the lamb shank biryani, fish, butter chicken, and all the sides and vegetarian options. Your praise for the bread basket truly warms our hearts as well! Thank you for sharing your kind words, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another exceptional dining experience soon!

Tasty food, unique choices. Great atmosphere. However when other diners arrived and the restaurant was busy, the waiters were too rushed and we were ignored. Had to ask three times for extra breads and yoghurts. Had to ask for dessert menus, had to ask for our main courses to be removed. After which, we didn’t feel like ordering more after dinner drinks or desserts and just asked for the bill. They were very kind to prepare a small dessert for my son’s birthday. However again, we ordered a taxi as it was taking too long to arrive!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're thrilled you enjoyed the food, unique menu options, and atmosphere, and it was our pleasure to celebrate your son's birthday with a special dessert. That said, we sincerely apologize for the delays in service and the rushed attention during a busier time. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us improve. We truly hope you'll give us another chance to deliver the exceptional dining experience you deserve. Thank you again for visiting us!
