Bikano's Indian Cuisine

The restaurant was quite quiet when we arrived at 18:15 but it gradually filled up with people. It’s not the most atmospheric of restaurants but I’m not sure that that is a problem. I can’t complain about the service we received. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The main waiter was very impressive in noting the orders without writing them down and there were no issues with the order (I’d definitely have to write it down). One of the tables had an issue getting the attention of the two waiters but this was because they were in the middle of serving the main meal to the largest table in the restaurant. The food was uniformly excellent with each dish being distinctly flavoured and the starters in particular were beautifully plated. The menu has an excellent mix of classic British Indian dishes and some interesting/more unusual dishes without the amount of choice being overwhelming. Portions were decent sized. We probably ordered too much, ordering three main dishes between the two of us, along with two starters, a rice and a naan bread. However, it was so good that we managed to eat pretty much everything and we (I) ordered a second basket of poppadoms to mop up the remaining sauces. Prices were pretty typical for Indian restaurants in Bath. We paid £115 for effectively three courses for two people, with a bottle of Prosecco, and including a 10% service charge. I’d highly recommend eating at Bikanos and would definitely dine there again.

Been here a few times when visiting Bath. Always best to book, as it was very busy when we dined on Saturday at 7.30pm. Food was excellent. Like most places, I see that they have increased their prices a bit. Just remember that the do add a 10% service charge to your bill automatically.UPDATE: Visited again last night (Friday 13th at about 5.30pm). Another enjoyable visit. Food and service was very good. I think since the opened, they have fine tweaked a few things for the better.

I had an amazing dining experience at Bikanos. The food quality and taste were exceptional, with generous portions. The service was top-notch, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place for its delicious food and excellent service. It's definitely worth a visit!"

Exceptional service and absolutely amazing food! We had 2 starters, 3 mains, and 3 desserts and every one of them was beautifully presented and thoroughly delicious. The king prawns were huge and very tasty, the Sag was flavorsome, and the poppadoms and dips were scrumptious. I have to single out the Broccoli Surkh Angar. This starter was mind-blowing. There were 4 of us sharing it and we all agreed that it is, by far, the best broccoli dish we have ever had. I can't overstate how delicious it is. I had the Pistachio Kulfi for dessert. The flavor and texture made for an enjoyable and mouth-watering end to the meal. If you're in the area, I highly recommend trying Bikanos!

Pros: good price, tasty food, good portion sizes, cosy atmosphere, friendly service Cons: slow service, unclean & rundown in some parts of the building, limited menu On arrival we were seated slowly and it took 20 minutes to get our drink order in since there appeared to only be one front of house staff member. He was very friendly but would have been nicer to be seated with a drink a bit sooner. The food was very tasty and with a perfect quantity, which was the main basis for my rating. The building was ok, but there were parts that looked run down, required cleaning and the toilet was very unpleasant. If I was in bath again I probably wouldn’t return here as it’s not a restaurant Eid be dying to return to, but for locals I imagine it’s a very solid choice.
