Ordered takeaway, the food arrived when it was supposed to and was the best curry we have had in Peterborough. Would definitely recommend trying their gunpowder gobi.

Absolutely Amazing!!! Great in every way! From food, to service, to drink selection (we stuck to the Cobra - but so many other fab beers to choose from! N non-beers too, obviously!) The quality of experience was just second to none n we live 40+miles away, but I'll def be back soon. Thank you!

Terrible - delivery took nearly 2 hours and the food was cold. Couldn’t get through to the restaurant on the phone for 30 mins. Email address invalid.

Had a hearty vegetarian meal. Kachumber salad was differently unique on my taste buds and dal makhani was out of the world (damn good). The waiting staff and as very accommodating and friendly.

My dish was like eating tomato soup with bits of chicken in it. My partners taste more like black pepper. Their dish menu has not got a lot to offer and nothing spicy or traditional. Brought wrong drinks to us. It was a waste of money never again will we get going here the food was so disappointing

This is by far one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been too!
Not your typical Indian - amazing dishes and probably one of the best lamb chops I've had as starters. Everytime I go to Peterborough I always visit and never disappointed. I can't wait to go back!

We ate at The Banyan Tree last night. Fantastic service and amazing food!! The staff were really helpful when choosing vegan options and other options that were not too spicy 🌶 - but still full of flavour. We’re definitely going back 👍👍

Had more substance and flavour from a microwavable meal from the supermarket.

This is the 2nd time that we have ordered from the Banyan Tree and both times the order has been incorrect. This time they missed off a meal. It’s difficult to believe that they can get an online order wrong. My wife now has cold rice and a dried out naan bread while still waiting for her main dish. Very poor service indeed.

I can consider this visit as successful. After lunch at "The Banyan Tree" I am able to write that I was satiated and spend time in a great atmosphere.
A typical Indian music that gives the climate.The decor also allows you to feel like in India.
Men who served me meals was professional and very kind and attentive.I do not know, but maybe because I was alone, I was often asked if food tasted good I think that this is an advantage. Everyone working there, except for the waiter, is from India so I believe that no one is able to undermine the taste of meals.
For appetizer I ordered 'Veg Manchurian
