"My previous experience dining at Tana Thai was nothing short of faultless and second to none in both service and the quality of authentic Thai food served. So I had high expectations for my second visit and was not left disappointed. We ordered the Thai experience for 2 for £27, which in my opinion was excellent value for money. The staff once again were welcoming and accomodating ensuring we had an enjoyable and pleasant dining experience. Tana Thai manages to deliver a varied menu with generous portion sizes. If your looking for authentic Thai flavours with subtle flavour combinations of hot, spicy, sweet, and sour then Thana Thai gets a A+ from me every time. We will definitely back in the future. My friend and I dined at Tana Thai for the first time tonight, we were not disappointed. We have dined at other Thai restaurants in Bedford and would certainly place Tana Thai along side the best of them for flavour and authenticity. The service from the staff was both friendly and prompt. The mixed starter for two was filling and tasty, with the Thai spring rolls certainly being the star of the show. We ordered beef in black bean sauce with egg fried rice and a mixed seafood pad thai. The beef was succulent and tender and the seafood was cooked perfectly with a mixture of crushed nuts on the side for texture. An excellent meal and excellent service, thank you."

"My recent visit to Deshi Spice Indian restaurant in Bedford was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and their professionalism was truly commendable. Now, onto the food – it was an absolute delight! The flavors in every dish we tried were exquisite, and it's clear that the chefs at Deshi Spice are masters of their craft. Whether you're a fan of rich curries, flavorful tandoori dishes, or aromatic biryanis, this restaurant has something to satisfy every palate. One standout dish for me was the chicken tikka masala, which was creamy and packed with flavor. The naan bread was fresh and perfectly cooked, a great accompaniment to the curries. And if you're a fan of spice, don't miss out on their vindaloo – it's spicy and satisfying. The ambiance of the restaurant is also worth noting. It's cozy and inviting, making it an excellent place for a date night or a gathering with friends and family. In conclusion, Deshi Spice Indian restaurant not only offers exceptional service but also serves some of the finest Indian cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting. I wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved five-star rating"

"I spent good Friday evening with my wife and the fantastic hosts of the 2likeus Bistro Lino and Roberto. The rustic Italian food Lino creates is truly a feast for your taste buds and you certainly won't go home hungry. We started the evening with starters of homemade meatballs for my wife and artichokes for myself. The meatballs were fresh, tasty and cooked to order. The tomato sauce was indulgent and had a real depth of flavour. The artichokes were cooked perfectly and still had a slight bite to them, a great starter for any vegetarian or food lover. For our mains I ordered the seabass which was beautifully cooked which I highly recommend you try. My wife had the Rib Eye steak drizzled with orange balsamic , sautéed potatoes salad and cherry tomatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and just to my wifes taste. We've both been to 2likeus many times now. Lino and Roberto always deliver great food and great service. Thanks again for another lovely evening. We'll be back that's a promise!!"

"Love the design of this coffee shop. Very wooden and chic! Posting as I had an amazing chai latte (some places make them way too sweet but this was perfect and the best frangipane I've ever had. So I figured they deserved a good review. They were lovely and really good service too. Now I know about this place I'll definitely be back! (Picture attached of the big bit of frangipane! Which I may have already taken a bite of"

"Now that we can walk to a decent curryhouse, we are visiting our favourite Bangladeshi restaurant in Bedford far less often, which is ridiculous when the food is so superior! Tonight all 5 of us loved our delicious meals. I had my usual vegan pathia, which was the best I’ve ever tasted, (always a good indicator of a great restaurant, when every time you eat there, the food is the best you’ve ever tasted! The bonus tonight though was being informed that they have stopped using ghee in their pilau rice, so now, apart from the keema rice, every other rice is suitable for vegans so I had the coconut rice . We’ll be back again soon!!"
