Dave - Great night at the Yatri - after the initial concerns over the provenance of the kingfisher, lack of spicy popadoms and no prawn puri for starter - the evening progressively improved following confirmation that the kingfisher was draft (10 for beer??) and realisation that the king prawn starter was fantastic (would have scored 10 but one mark deducted for no spicy popadoms). The Bombay curry was very good and the crispy naan bread scored well. Not able to score veg as they didn't do veg dishes. Overall vfm ok - sign of the times that anything around £45 is considered par for the course now. (According to the boe inflation calculator our first curry in 2020 - cost £21 inc 2 beers - should cost £39.10 in todays prices.)

Jeff - Yatri retains its cafe style feel, with bare wooden tables and chairs and an A3 menu printed on paper at each place setting, but I think they have added a few pictures on the wall to make it more homely. The menu is in the main non-traditional with a few familiar dishes like tandoori king prawns also available, which I chose for an enjoyable starter - although it was only accompanied by sliced red onions - maybe they ran out of salad.  For my main I chose slow cooked lamb, which came with a good amount of lamb in a tasty sauce. The only issue at this restaurant is the lack of choice of vegetables, unusual for an Indian. Altogether, it was an excellent meal, in comfortable surroundings, with a good buzz, and service was polite, friendly and efficient as far as I can remember. Draft Kingfisher was decent. The room was busy with mainly younger punters - hang on, nearly everyone is younger these days.

John - Tandoori Prawns followed by chicken, spinach and garlic curry. All very nice but not quite the same standard as previous visit.

Mark - T'was a dark and stormy night … half a dozen of us avoided the floods and train cancellations to revisit the popular Yatri. People sitting outside and even looked like a queue so happy to have our table in the back. The limited menu raised some eyebrows but the overall food and service was very good. Basket of pops not wonderful but my samosa starter was tasty while the Bombay Curry hit the spot nicely even if I avoided the offer to make it more spicy. In and out in under 2 hours but never felt rushed. I guess we will be returning next year.

Richard - The fish tilapia starter was delicious and one of the best starters I've ever had. Perhaps the raw onion on the side should have been lightly fried, which I think applied to some other dishes too. Popadums were unusual: small and came in 2 types. The main dish of chicken makhani was fine but a touch bland, but sides and rice were good standard.

Brian - First visit to this place for me. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, and I suppose us old farts need to accept the modernist trend to mess with something that appears to work fine, in this instance popadoms. Fish starter was good, as was my chicken main. Veg ok, but again we had to order a veggie main, rather than a variety of sides.
