The Coconut Tree Reading - (Near Berkshire, South East)

4 /5 Still Alive: Food, taste wise really good - 7.5/10. However size wise is disappointing for the price. Spoon for reference in the photo, all together it was £20pp for just the food not including drinks. Service, very friendly, the staff are good with their recommendations but when we asked for the food to be spicy (theres the option to tone it up all the way up), there was no heat to the food at all. Atmosphere during the day (we went 2pm) was lovely, its just a bar-restaurant situation. Simple vibes and not busy.

4 /5 Sam Janiec: First of all, the food was incredible, cooked to order and bursting with flavour, standout dishes for me were the goat curry and the black pork, must try. Although we were the only people in the restaurant, service was very slow once we had gotten our food, only one server on who spent most of the time on his phone despite us trying to catch him for the bill. The atmosphere was to be expected for a Monday evening so cant say anything good nor bad about it. Overall id highly recommend this restaurant for the food.

5 /5 Trinity Mcfarlane: Amazing place!!! Went there for my friends birthday. It was my first visit. However a few people at the table had been previously and they recommended we get a bit of everything as they are small plates made for sharing. This was a lovely eating experience. The atmosphere was sensational. It was a quiet day and Alex went above and beyond for me and my friends. Even putting on a few cheeky song requests as we were the last table of the evening. The Cocktails were to die for! Flavours all around were amazing. I will definitely be coming back soon for sure and recommend this place to many!

5 /5 Nic G: Came here on a Wednesday date night so it was (understandably) quiet, but Alex looked after us, and was really lovely. The decor was cute, beach-y vibes and the food was delicious - we ordered 4 main dishes and 2 rice/bread sides between two of us and the quantity was perfect. Highly recommend the goat curry and the hot battered calamari. Thanks to Alex and the team - will be back to try other dishes!

2 /5 Madihah Chowdhury: I don’t really leave reviews for many places, but was honestly pretty disappointed, me and my mum came here to try some Sri Lankan food after work, and the food was just bland and overpriced. Was excited because they said everything par the pork dish was halal on the menu, so we ordered Chicken Kotthu, Egg Hopper, goat curry, sticky rice and some 2for1 mocktails. The egg hopper was okay because I wasn’t expecting it to be that flavourful since it’s basically a pancake with egg, and the chicken kotthu was probably the best in terms of what we got, but I was expecting spicier. The goat curry came to the table basically lukewarm, and sorely needed both salt and some spice, really disappointed because I was looking forward to that the most. Paired that with the sticky rice which was good. Ironically the best thing we had when we went for food wasn’t the food, but the mocktails, we had a pina colada one, only because it was 2 for £10, not worth it otherwise. Overall, service was good, but wouldn’t eat here again, you can get better food in Reading for a fraction of the price.
