The
Bina has been an integral feature of the Caversham restaurant
scene for many years now, a destination for many diverse
groups who share the aim of excellent food in enjoyable
surroundings served by professional staff. The Bina
continues to deliver all three in abundance as it recovers
from another hectic festive season.
The
recent renovations reflect the desire of the owners
not to rest on their laurels, their desire continues
to be customer based, to the Bina staff the customer
is both king and queen. A Paris based designer has brought
the finishing touches to a celebrated restaurant where
the owners have enjoyed an unrivalled reputation for
service with food prepared to the highest possible standards
of both taste and presentation, the awards collected
over the years bear testimony to the strategic approach
to customer satisfaction. The careful and thoughtful
use of colour, the clearly defined lines of the light
wooden floors combine to create a perfect stage for
the diner who seeks the perfect stage to dine with their
guests.
As
we depart from the worst of the winter months, with
brighter, clearer evenings in sight, diners continue
to seek the perfect environment for their evenings of
food and fun then take a close look at the Bina before
you look anywhere else, their reputation is unrivalled,
their experience beyond comparison and their supportive
ability to ensure you and your guests enjoy themselves
know no bounds. If that is not a recipe for success
and enjoyment then you should remain at home, alone,
with your cookery book.
I
had the Prawn Puree to start, sweet and sour melt in
your mouth prawns served in Indian bread, accompanied
by an ornate salad. My main course was a speciality
of the restaurant, a Chicken Jalfrezi, cooked with fresh
green chillies, ginger, tomatoes and coriander, served
with my favourite Pilau rice and Nan bread, a combination
that has been a personal favourite of mine for many
years. The wine list is extensive, refined over many
years of consultation with regular customers, and reflects
both the quality of the restaurant, its standing within
the national trendsetters within the industry, and the
discerning nature of the many regular clients. The attentive
staff, uniformed and all serving guests with the customary
smile, chat easily and effortlessly with the customers,
reflecting the friendly nature the Bina stage is built
upon.
The
Bina, in the musical words of the Tina Turner classic
song, is ‘Simply the Best’, do you need
to know any more.
