Correct
I think Busaba is a very nice restaurant although I find annoying the fact that you always have to queue for at least 20 minutes.

The food is normally great although it may vary from one dish to another.

The atmosphere is great and if you go late you can have a nice meal without feeling the pressure that you have to leave your space for someone else.

Very good indian
We arrived 5 minutes late and they had given our table already. However, they offered us another table wich was ready 30 minutes later, we were having a drink in a bar nearby and they called us to our mobile phone.

The menu has a wide range of very different dishes. All of them were fantastic and very tasty. The service was good and quick. The place was not specially pretty but it was ok.

We had a discount of 50% in our bill we had contracted before by e-mail. When they brought the bill the discount was not aplied so we had to complain and they applies it to the food but not to the drinks. I will go back!

I've just loved it!!! I thought it was going to be packed with lawyers and bankers and I was wrong (at least to have lunch they don't go there!). The service was quick, the food was excellent and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Defineteley it will be one of my locals! I hope to try the rest of the restaurants of Smiths very soon!

A nice Spanish place
I come from Spain and I must say that this place just looks like a lot of traditional places in the south of Spain. Although the food do not reach the high standards of Spanish food it is quite good. We tried several things because we were missing spanish food and everything was fantastic. I specially enjoyed mussels and bravas.

Too hot, some dishes great, some just awful
I expected a nicer place after having reat all the reviews at Time Out and I was disappointed. The place was so hot you could barely breath (at least they opened the door so the air could circulate). The place is too kistch.

The food was ok. we were 5 people and the bill was 52£. The best thing was the Vietnamese rolls and the chicken satay. We also ordered duck and it was fantastic. however, the fish with mango which was recommended in alot of reviews was just awful...

The service speedy, I agree that it was too speedy in fact.

Nice views, nice, food, better atmosphere!

The first time I went to roast was a Saturday afternoon. I though the place was cosy and very beautiful. We got a table close to the windows (these are the best but you have to arrive before 10,00-11,00 to get one). The service was just perfect and the food excellent. It may be a little bit expensive but everything is good quality and I thin k it's worth to visit at least once. I enjoyed the Special Borough market which was 12 £ but I could not eat anything else for at least 8 hours!

Great fun!
I thought that the food was going to be a complete disaster but I was surprised. I oirdere fish and it was amazing. The only thing is that you'd better go very early to have dinner otherwise it will be impossible to have a decent conversation. The caipirinhas were not very good from my point of view and they difer from what a caipirinha should be. However the place is great and the atmosphere it's good!
