It feels magical inside! Awesome atmosphere & the drinks are lovely. I only had dessert here which was amazing.
Very busy at the bar so I found it a good idea to get two drinks at a time 😜 friendly & helpful staff & there was live music the night I went in & they sounded fantastic. Definitely recommended & will go back again

We had a wonderful Christmas get together at The Botanist, Coventry. Great fun music and yummy food, eyes were too big for my belly though! Our waiter, Leon was amazing, very happy, joyful and had a constant smile on his face 😀

Lovely venue, with live music. Food was pretty good, although not frills. Kebabs were good, sides quite basic. The bar service was very slow, which was an issue when sat upstairs. Would definitely go again however.

A very unique place. The skylight is a feature which will amaze any person who will enter the premises.

Friendly staff and good drinks with a lot to offer. We did not eat there this time but will certainly try something in the future.

Decor is very unique, hence the name. Plenty of plants dotted around and a water feature!

Was here last night for a works team meal. We had been to one of the sister restaurants in Birmingham so we're hoping for more of the same. We were not disappointed.

The location is fantastic being so central, and the decor is so relaxing and unusual.

Food was great, the team mainly enjoying the great hanging kebabs that they do.

Not too expensive and enjoyed by all.

A Disastrous Experience at The Botanist

I visited The Botanist yesterday with friends for a Christmas meal out, and I can confidently say I won’t be returning. The entire experience was appalling, from the poor service to the overpriced and underwhelming food.
To start, the price of the three-course meal was £37.95 – and that didn’t even include drinks. As someone who required the vegan option, my choices were extremely limited. For the starter, I was given a basic hummus with some bread, which was far from satisfying or festive. The main course, a festive pie with vegetables, was equally disappointing. The carrots were practically raw, as if they had just been sliced and thrown on the plate. It’s shocking that a restaurant would serve vegetables so poorly prepared.
I wouldn’t mind paying a high price if the food was decent, but this was far from acceptable. The sticky toffee pudding for dessert was the only saving grace of the meal. However, even that couldn’t make up for the shoddy service. We had to go up to the bar to get our drinks, and everyone was waiting around 15 minutes just to be served. There was an obvious shortage of staff, and no side plates were provided for the starters.
To make matters worse, the bridge inside the restaurant is extremely dangerous. My friend fell over, hit her face, and was bleeding. Although staff brought ice and water, that was the extent of their help. Shockingly, no accident forms were filled out. I’m not sure if this is standard policy, but the lack of care and attention was appalling.
For the exorbitant price, the experience was unacceptable. The lack of quality in the food, combined with the abysmal service, left me disgusted. I strongly advise against visiting The Botanist. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about its customers.

It looked really nice here. Beautiful atmosphere.
The meals we had were good.
Service was a bit sloppy though (maybe they need more staff).
I will visit again and I recommend.

Waiting for food over 40mins is bad.
Food wasn’t as good as we remember, we ordered hanging kebab.

Went in on Saturday afternoon, wasn’t crazy busy like you could see lots of tables available. But the wait time is crazy
