Great flavour combinations with warm and friendly staff. Although the restaurant was busy we weren't rushed and it wasn't too loud either in spite of the Christmas party!

Five Rivers offer an excellent choice of Rubys, that will satisfy everyone from the timid to the seasoned currymeister. The ambiance is pleasant and the prices and hospitality are excellent.

Lovely atmosphere, staff very polite and attentive, the food was absolutely amazing, so full of flavour, spice that doesn't just burn your mouth out and leave you with that horrible taste in your mouth later. Good size portions as well. Our first time visiting but booked again on the night for our next visit; can't wait!

Nice chicken and vegetarian spinach curries but don't recommend prawn curry at all. Extremely sweet and chewy. Helpful staff even though they start laying the tables very loudly at the end of the meal. Time to go home!

Food EXCELLENT , poor service ,we hadn't sat down and our popdoms were on the table no menu for us to look at to see the ingredients in main course four different waiters came to sever us at different times , we had to ask for our drinks , They were not happy in there work . And brought us our bill before we had asked for it, more or less here's you bill now go . We have been before and recommended The five rivers to our friends because we had excellent service 6 months ago .

It was the most terrible experience. It was a treat from me to my father & nephew who were visiting us from India. The service was very bad, food was not great. I ordered two starters: Non veg platter and Fish amritsari. Chicken was hard, fish was not great. There were no sauce to go with the starters which was priced high. The waiters & the server took almost 15-20 mins in the beginning to come and take order. For the starters they took more than half hour to be served. The order taken for mains were late as well it took them around 30-45 mins to serve. Poppadoms were not served. Mains -chicken dish had to be returned as it was not palatable & had to be returned. We ordered Prawns Gassi a speciality from mangalore as clearly mentioned in the menu, being mangalorean I can confirm it was not even close to any Gassi dish. All the mains for some reason was sour. Plates were not cleared on time. When asked, the answer was bear with us we are busy. The bill had both chicken and poppadoms which we had to return to amend and send revise bill. I won't be going back again. It was a total put off show.

Overall very good. Bit noisy but in a full restaurant inc a birthday party that’s to be expected and sitting away from main hubbub didn’t detract from the experience. No sauces or salad with mixed platter starters: had to request the raita etc to be provided. Bit mean with king prawns in main dish ( only 4). Made all the worse by the dish ( king prawn gassi) being so tasty. Overall standard of food very good and a pretty good evening all round. Hadn’t been their for some years but will visit again soon .

Lovely food, very good service, shame about the music! We thought that the background music was too loud and intrusive, and not really suited to the people who were dining in the restaurant. Also, having nice food served on bare tables seems a shame - the extra costs of table linen would make it much more enjoyable!

I'm a coeliac and often struggle to confirm the food is gluten free. The staff know which dishes I can and can't have straight away, if not, they always go and check. Food is really lovely and not too expensive.

From the outside the restaurant looks like something I would pass on, the kerb appeal is not very good. However step inside and it's pleasantly pleasing, nice comfortable arrangement with nice decor, tables are set for a fi e dinning experience and the food is fabulous. We had a mixed plate starter consisting of popodom, and chutney shis kabab, onion bhaji, Masala fish, chicken tikka and a delicate paty (which I do not know the name of). Followed by a curry myself I chose the lamb bhuna which was tender and the tasty sauce was thick ( can't stand it when the sauce is like coloured water). The o The person's in the party chose fish curry (the best option we all agreed light and fragrant perfect after a large starter and for the lunchtime period which we dined), butter chicken ( absolutely delicious and tender chunk of meat filled the dish), and chicken tikka masala (this tasted similar to the butter chicken wasn't so tikka as we are use to but still very nice). It was nice the the sauce was think and the Nan breads were a real nice accompaniment to the rice as to ensure you scooped up the tastey curry sauce. Desert was also included in the lunchtime deal spiced carrot and vanilla ice cream ( the ice cream is one of the best we have tasted and the spiced carrot cake was like a cookie dough really suited the ice cream and something most of the party thought they wouldn't like but their wasn't any left on the plates! Service is kept at a good pace, although their was only five other tables vacated at the time we dinned, the restaurant can serve around 30 tables The toilets are clean, tiles from top to bottom and fully functioning, they are a little bit cold visiting them down a flight of stair to the basement, i don't know if they have a wheelchair accessible facility upstairs so would need to check that out before bringing my friend who relies on the use of her wheelchair. Service was ok, a bit robotic and flat, our waiter tried to crack a joke or two which we didn't find very funny. One of the waiters did whisk away our popodom plates very quickly and we were surprised as we were still using them, causing my husband to drop his food on his clothes, no appologies or offer to provide a cloth to wipe it off which was a shame. If the service was spot on and the outside was more appealing, with a lunch time promotion board outside would bring in a full lunchtime period service, as the food is excellent and the lunchtime 4 courses was excellent value. I would say this restaurant would be excellent for a evening meal to, it is cosy and warm in the restaurant and offers a modern twist to Bengali foods. Absolutely delicious food and beautiful internal design. Would definitely go back again and would recommend to other people.
