Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We visited here back in March as we'd been drinking at the Picturedrome. Last minute decision as the weather was poor, but what a pleasant surprise. Amazingly, it being a Saturday evening, there was just one other couple dining. I am absolutely delighted to see...the reviews on here because they are so well deserved. All I remember was that the food was delicious and the chef came out between courses to deliver some tasty nibbles. He described his creation with a real passion. I have the bill and we had the onion bhajis and then the Saag and confit de poulet for mains. A nice bottle of Shiraz was £25. This review has reminded me I need to make a reservation sooner rather than later.More

This is the best Punjabi place I’ve ever been! Quality food, atmosphere and service. The host is one of the best you’ve ever seen, they will make you feel welcome and at home. Will one million percent be following this business around the country and...wherever this adventure takes them. Can’t thank them enough for the food and environment, the best we have and will ever have and will continue to recommend this place to anyone I know. Thank you all for everything, The Marshall Family:)!!!!More

Our first visit, and it definitely won't be our last. Everything was perfect, the food, the service, the staff - and of course the head chef who is lovely. Can't wait to come back!

We had a great meal at FrenJabi. I was a little sceptical at first as to whether French and Indian fusion would work. I was very pleasantly surprised however, all the dishes had a lovely balance of favours and each were presented beautifully. There were...several nice touches, such as the amuse bouche before and in between courses. The service was also impeccable and the owners are incredibly welcome and friendly. Would highly recommend.More

The food last night was absolutely amazing. The amuse bouche between courses was a lovely touch and the espresso martini (and chai-spresso martini for my friend) at the end was fab. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much for them. Will definitely be...back!!More

Amazing food, service and ambience. Was a really different and varied menu, the chef went out of his way to accommodate my dietary requirements. The amuse-bouche were a nice touch and we were also given complementary cocktails to celebrate the coronation. Will definitely be back.

We had a couple of deliveries from here during lockdown but have only just made it to the restaurant in person and what a treat it was. The food was delicious. The additional appetisers between courses an unexpected treat. Definitely somewhere we will be going...back to and will recommend to as many people as possibleMore

Great restaurant. Staff very attentive and helpful in this lovely family run business. Food was sublime. Well worth a visit if you want to taste the fusion of French and Punjabi cuisine. The Bakri Saag was gorgeous, a lot of "Indian" restaurants don't get the...spinach bit right and on this dish it was perfect, spice level spot on, flavours balanced. Will definitely be going back with family and friends.More

I booked a table based on a recommendation from a friend to celebrate my wife’s birthday. That turned out to be a great decision. The owner had opened the restaurant even though we were the only diners that evening (don’t let this put you off)...it was a unique dining experience. Rav (owner) has a real passion for his art and this was reflected in the taste sensation of the meals. We will definitely be going back in the near future. And by the way the meal was great value given the quality of the food.More

Lovely evening with friends here. Food was delicious with some nice culinary 'twists' or history to them. Rav and his staff very attentive and the free baby Guinness was an added bonus! Will definitely return.

I cannot fault this restaurant in anyway at all. The food was incredible, every course was piping hot and full of flavour. The presentation and attention to detail was second to none. The amuse bouche was a lovely touch and again the taste was impeccable....The hospitality from the chef and the very cute 'head chef' was faultless. Everything was excellent.More
