Bib Gourmand 1

Dastaan

Bib Gourmand££Indian

A modest-looking place from outside, Dastaan is a restaurant run with true heart and soul. Its reward is a dining room consistently packed with happy diners, joining together to create an electric atmosphere – and while its popularity may seem like it could cause an issue for the service team, they make it run it like clockwork. The menu presents great value for money and takes North India as its main inspiration, with each dish delivering many layers of flavour thanks to the expert spicing. The desserts are a joy, too, be that the homemade kulfi or the gulab jamun.

TripAdvisor review sample · 3.4/5 · 80 reviews

Petersham Nurseries Café holds an average rating of 3.4/5. Food quality receives mixed feedback; while some praise the cakes and menu, others report cold dishes or buffet-style service. Service is inconsistent, with specific staff members commended but overall complaints regarding slow response times. The ambiance features a unique garden and greenhouse setting, though some areas are crowded and lack table linens. Value is a significant point of contention, with many visitors finding the prices high relative to the experience, particularly for casual lunches.

Suitable for diners seeking a unique garden setting for special occasions, but those prioritizing value and consistent service should proceed with caution.
