Megan was so lovely and attentive. That mushroom linguine with grilled chicken was the star for me - the sauce was creamy but not heavy at all. My husband enjoyed his small plates too. The whole place just has a nice, relaxed vibe.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always spot on, proper British-Asian classics done right. Gets packed out most nights, mind. Book a table or you&#39;ll be waiting.

The tandoori chicken had a really nice smoky flavour. The naan was soft and warm, straight from the oven. I&#39;d go back just for that.

Russell was super helpful with recommendations. Got my food quick and it was exactly what I wanted. 👍

Travelled a fair distance for this. The food came out quickly, which was perfect with our toddler. One of the better Indian meals we&#39;ve had.

A solid meal, service was prompt. The location on the Esplanade is very convenient. Good for a straightforward business lunch.

The team really made my daughter&rsquo;s day special with a surprise cake and a little song. It was a lovely touch. The food, as always, was full of flavour and you can tell it&rsquo;s made with care.

As a coeliac, I really appreciated the care here. They have separate equipment for gluten-free prep, which is a huge relief. Felt safe ordering, and nearly everything on the menu was an option for me.

Stumbled upon this place on a New Forest walk. The puttenesca pasta really stood out &ndash; loved the salty kick from the capers and anchovies. Portions were generous too.

Nice little pub with a garden for the kids to run around in. The climbing frame kept mine entertained for ages while we had a quiet pint. Hosts were really friendly too.

The owners are so lovely. But what keeps me coming back is the freshness of the ingredients. You can really taste it in the simple salads and grilled fish. Everything feels clean and thoughtfully prepared.

Free overnight parking for campervans if you eat here. That&#39;s the main draw for us. Food was decent pub grub, nothing fancy. Did the job after a long day exploring the castle.

The mussels and pasta were spot on. A minor quibble &ndash; the mozzarella starter. The tomatoes were a bit bland, even for winter. A glass of crisp white wine would have really lifted that dish.

Isa&#39;s service was personal and efficient. She even sang happy birthday. The food is some of the best on the promenade.

My go-to spot in Cowes. The fresh food selection is fantastic. It gets packed but they manage the crowd well, so you&#39;re not waiting ages. Staff are on the ball.

I took my daughter for lunch as a school holiday treat and we had a lovely meal.  She loved the salad cart and choice of children&rsquo;s meals.

Always great food, fantastic service and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended Set in a beautiful building with a great bar area as well as well maintained gardens that are lovely to sit out in the summer months

Lovely little spot for Greek food. The chips were perfectly crispy, a real highlight. The side salad was fresh, a nice complement to the mains. Just a cosy, simple vibe.

A really nice spot to work from for a few hours. The staff are super friendly and never made me feel rushed, even when I was just nursing a coffee. Good vibes for getting some writing done.

Popped in for a late lunch. The Juicy Lucy burger was solid &ndash; cheese actually oozes out when you bite into it. Staff were quick and chill. Place has a nice, warm vibe.

Came early to grab a table with a plug and get some work done. Ordered three dishes for a quick lunch. Everything came out fast and tasted good. Perfect for a focused solo bite.

Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles were spot on. Flavours and textures just right. Green papaya salad had the perfect heat level for me. Quick service, got my order in under 15 mins. Exactly what you need for a fast lunch.

Lamb biryani and garlic naan were spot on, great flavour. Service was efficient, got the bill quickly when asked. A solid option for a business lunch near the office.

Late night craving sorted! Food arrived super fast at 4am, and the driver called instead of just buzzing.

Just popped in for a pint. The front of the pub is covered in these amazing old tiles, really gives it that proper local feel. Nice spot to escape the rain for a bit.
