Can Anyone Recommend a Restaurant in Covent Garden

[Icequeen01]

My DSis and I are taking my DM85 to see the Lion King in March for her birthday. We thought we would have an early dinner before we go home (we are seeing a matinee performance). Last year we did something similar and ate in the Delaunay which I really wasn't keen on.

DM uses a walker as she's a bit wobbly on her feet so wondered if anyone had any ideas where we could take her. We have also eaten in the Palm Court Brasserie which is nice but a bit cramped for DM to get around.

Agree with Brown's.

It's been a few years since I went but Punjab Restaurant was great if you like Indian food https://punjab.co.uk/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gbp-listing

Based on the recommendations above, I would go for Cafe Murano. That would suit all. You could listen to the podcast The Dish as a warm up!

I ate in Paro last time I was close to there, was fairly good (not as good as authentic places half the price in other cities with large Indian populations but that's normal). Also at a thali restaurant but might be too far for you as it's about 20 mins

roka is really loud

Excellent sugggstion

Came here to say the same. Why go anywhere else!

Great suggestions

Barafina is good food and wine too

We ate in Punjab six weeks ago and it was as good as it was when we discovered it eight years ago.

Not for your mom but for another trip I went to the eight on Shaftesbury avenue last week. Excellent food. We were the only non Asian (far east) in there.

Sagar is fab, a veggie/vegan Indian restaurant in Covent Garden (1 min walk from the covered market). Eaten there lots, delicious food every single time. www.sagarrestaurant.co.uk/

Masala Zone - was nice when I visited a few years ago!

I was going going to suggest this.

@Sinkingfeeling952 if I may ask why is din tai fun is note worthy, obviously China Town is so good etc.

Downstairs tables too and likely to accommodate accessibility easily with an advanced call

Balhazar is quite spacious and I'm sure they could sit you somewhere with room.

Rules has stairs but the main dining area is downstairs and I believe there is a loo there

I wouldn't go to Balthazar personally. The last couple of times I've been, I've had such cramped and squashed together tables and I'm not sure how good it would be for accessibility.

Another vote for Cafe Murano or the Opera Tavern if you like tapas/sharing plates

Had a delicious lunch recently at Cinnamon Bazaar - we just went in on the off chance, noticing it as we walked past.

Palm Court Brasserie. I go regularly when I'm in London. Love it.

This is an old favourite of ours. We have been many times over the years but last time we went we struggled with space and the toilets are down that winding concrete staircase. We had to sandwich DM between us to ensure she didn't slip. It was nerve racking.

I was just about to mention Cinnamon Bazaar as I really rate it. Lovely food but quite informal, depends whether you're looking for something a bit more special.

That is a good point about the toilets. I stay nearby so I never usually go but yes they are down narrow steps.
