Food lovers don’t forget that this Friday and Saturday night, The Tiffin Room at The Bonchurch Manor Hotel will be opening their doors to the public for Deepavali Celebrations.
Yes folks, you might remember that earlier in the year The Tiffin Room changed their opening times to by appointment only, but at the end of the week, they will be welcoming the public back into their fabulous dining room to enjoy the delights of Shuba Rao’s Southern Indian kitchen.
Cost for dinner at The Tiffin Room on Friday will be £23 and £26 on Saturday night when you will treated when the festival of lights will be celebrated with a firework display. Call 852868 to make your reservation.
For those expecting to order a firey vindaloo, you’ll need to look elsewhere, Southern Indian food much subtler and sophisticated in flavour.
Having sampled Shuba’s food many times before, we can safely say it is a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it. It definitely gets the VentnorBlog thumbs up!
