Banquets

The New Millennium inspired Balbir to adopt a new approach to Indian dining – ‘Healthy Eating’, with Route 77 as the ‘pilot’ restaurant.

Not sure how customers would react to a restaurant where Madras, Vindaloo, even Poppadoms and Spiced Onions were ‘outlawed’, Balbir decided to convince people verbally himself and to operate for a short period without a menu.

This new approach proved a huge hit with the customers and slowly, the ‘no menu’ approach was brought to the radar of food critics who came and were genuinely bowled over.

whatever Balbir’s have done, they should patent’

The purpose of the banquet option is simple, to serve a substantial meal and introduce dinners to some of our unique starters and main courses at a very reasonable price. Simply let us know your likes and dislikes or any other dietary requirements…. then allow us to organise a meal to suite your palates.

The meal consists of three starter courses served one after another, followed by the main courses, rice and bread. It is is available from tables of two upwards. The larger the group the bigger the selection becomes.

Please note the banquet is not a fixed set meal. Each table will have its own different dishes according to the strength of curries requested, the type of bread they require etc. Dishes such as the salmon starter are not compulsory, alternatives like pakoras, or Seekh kebab are always available.

*Fish Dishes such as Halibut, Monkfish and King Prawns are available as main courses within the banquet option at a sub charge of £5 per fish dish. However curried Salmon dishes are included in the standard banquet price.
