The Piano Garden - Lagoa

We visited with friends on a week night and overall it was a disappointing experience. They brought pappadoms to the table like a couvert without us asking for them, the onion bhaji starter was okay but the lamb samosa was salty. The naan breads were served 15 minutes before the mains, and as for the mains these were most disappointing as my dish was nowhere near medium spiced as per the menu and my friends Vindaloo was no more than a lamb stew really, with virtually no heat whatsoever. The biriyani and butter chicken were also nothing special. The service was friendly but slow, and our 2nd drinks order was forgotten completely. At the end we were asked about our food and my friend mentioned the Vindaloo having no heat and all we got back was that it’d be mentioned to the chef, but surely, any chef would know if a recognised hot curry had no heat before it came out? To make matters worse, when we asked for the card machine we were told it was cash only. Yes we missed the MB sign with a cross through it, but if we’d been tourists we could be forgiven for not knowing this stood for Multibanco so they must surely have had awkward situations with people not having enough cash on them to pay. Overall, a poor evening and one we won’t be repeating as there’s so many quality Asian restaurants in the area.

What an amazing hidden gem. Great setting and ambience, amazing food and friendly staff. Definitely making it a habit to visit.

What can I say very poor went with good friends very cheaply done with expensive prices, poor service Ordered a vindaloo as fancied a hot curry has spicier spaghetti bolognase. Would not recommend very disappointing

Very nice restaurant with excellent food and service. The owner and her staff are very friendly and the music was nice. We went here almost every evening to eat and drink. Top restaurant. We recommend it to everyone

Zeer fijn restaurant, met zeer lekkere curry gerechten. Leuke bediening, in voor een praatje en lolletje.
