Title: Restaurant
Post by: Posh Red on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, 17:12:25
Looking for any recommendations for somewhere to eat on Saturday night after the game.

It’s a table for 7, mixed age group

If you like curry, you've really got to try Mela in Old Town. Absolutely amazing food. Lamb Royal and Goan fish curry are incredible. It'd be a waste if you went with an ordinary curry from them - couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Hadn't been out in Swindon since lockdown 1, but went to Swindon this weekend and visited Mela twice.

Give us a bit more detail Posh, what type of food are you after?

Had a date in Los Gatos a couple of weeks ago. I'd been told it had gone downhill since being taken over, but I thought it was as good as ever.

Miller and Carter (steak)
Los Gatos (Tapas but not sure you will get a reservation now as it books up pretty quick)
Old Town Thai or Smile (Thai)
The Zaika Valley or Biplob (Indian)
Swindon Rendevous (Chinese)

Not sure about good italian restaurants, one at bottom of kings hill is decent. I wouldn't recommend Marios myself as I had an awful experience there recently and was sick.

Fabio's is great for Italian. Love Da Vinci as well, but haven't been in about 5 years - portions were huge.

Thanks all.

Tried a few places, but couldn’t book a table for 7 just after the football.

Would have booked a curry house, but have a couple of fussy eaters who don’t like anything slightly ambitious, so gave up & booked at the pub we’re staying at

It's still as good :D.
