An enjoyable lunch, with a wide range of cuisine. Pleasant surroundings food was lovely. Just an idea my friend who is 80 years old found the seating a bit hard! A jug of water on the table would also be a good idea! Reasonably priced too

We had been recommended to visit Reesa by more than one person. We were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious. Very high quality. Presentation was outstanding making the over all experience even better. Service could not be faulted. They even made us some onion bhaji, which were not on the menu, showing that nothing was too much. We will most definitely be dining here again and recommend people to visit for a wonderful experience. 10/10 and a huge thumbs up from us

Lovely experience, food was good. Service was mostly great aside from the fact that our order "didn't go through" so we waited longer for our food than we should have. But aside from that, the overall experience was nice.
