The Banyan Tree
About
The Banyan Tree Westgate is a vibrant Indian restaurant nestled in the heart of Peterborough’s city centre, housed within the former Royal Hotel adjacent to Queensgate Shopping Centre and John Lewis. With more than a decade of culinary craftsmanship, it offers a rich tapestry of flavours from north India’s Moghlai cuisine to the aromatic dishes of the South, all prepared using fresh spices and traditional techniques. The restaurant boasts a spacious two‑floor layout, featuring a relaxed ground‑floor dining area, a well‑stocked bar with exclusive wines, premium spirits and craft cocktails, and a first‑floor private dining room for more intimate gatherings. Visitors can savor a diverse menu that caters to vegans, vegetarians and gluten‑free diners, alongside classic staples like Butter Chicken, Butter Chicken and Süleman Gosht. For special occasions such as Valentine’s Day, a ten‑course tasting menu is offered at £30, while the New Year’s Eve celebration welcomes guests with free entry and an extended menu of canapes and street food. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak times, but walk‑ins are welcome. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal, a romantic dinner or a lively evening with friends, The Banyan Tree Westgate delivers an authentic Indian dining experience paired with a sophisticated bar atmosphere.
