Came yesterday for valentines day with a friend and booked in advance via opentable. Front of house staff very welcoming and told us to go upstairs. Left a bit clueless upstairs until the waitress came. Seated and was asked if we were ready to order after 5 minutes and we weren’t!Food came at a decent time but the rice took very long we were worried the food would get cold. Slightly dissatisfied with the portion size for the price being paid, but I guess the atmosphere makes up for that. £70 for two drinks, two curries, nan and rice. Meh.

Very much recommend! Little expensive but the taste is too good !! Miroslava has done good hospitality! Thank you .

We came to Vermillion after an amazing previous visit.We were left slightly disappointed. We were never tended to, had to keep grabbing the attention of staff for drinks.We asked for a bottle of water for the table, it was brought with no glasses, which we then had to wait 10 minutes to get the attention of someone!When our order came, 2 dishes were missing, which then when I told them, the proceeded to only bring 1 of the 2 missing dishes.The food is lovely, however it was luke warm, which took away how delicious it actually was.The place itself is beautiful and after such a wonderful first visit, I felt let down.

Really thank full to Mr. Iqbal Ahmed for hosting such an amazing evening for all us.It was simply one of the best, no doubt about it. I would love to come back again, which I am sure that I will. Thanks for make us feel like we are not far from home, our mother land Bangladesh.Indeed it was one of my best dining so far. Service was very professional and helpful. Vermilion really do raised the bar of my food experience from now on.Indeed you are a pride of Bangladesh.

Very beautiful place, outside is very beautiful at night, they have a big car park with parking attendant, parking for the restuarant is free. The outside area is lit very well and the front of the restuarant is gorgeous, once entering you are greeted by receptionists, and theres a small waiting area on the left where you can view the auto rickshaw and various other items. They have a elevator to go to the dining floor which is the second floor and i believe weddings and functions are held on the first floor. The interior of the dining floor is very well decorated and bright lights fill the room. The popadoms selection and sauces were different to those you find in a normal indian restuarant so was pretty nice, the starters were all lovely and my favourite was the momo. I just wanted to eat more and more of them, for the mains the food was very delicious, the mocktails they do is a good selection and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and thanks to the manager for looking after us all. Will be back in near future hopefully. The top floor above the restuarant is like a bar type chilling area which was pretty cool, nice area to take photos too.

Absolutely beautiful decor, loved the atmosphere /vibe, loved the restaurant /venue itself. Love the fact you have to dress up to go here.Brilliant customer service. Did not have to wait for food long. Abby, who served us, was amazing.Food itself was OK. The steak was nice but the rest was so bland. No real flavour/taste. Drinks that we ordered were in the smallest glass bottles ever. Quite pricey for what it's worth. I won't be rushing to visit this place anytime soon.

Absolutely love this place. The food is excellent and the decor is so inviting! The pods in the bar upstairs are so good, can't wait to go back.

Whent there for a friends birthday , staff was great food was good howether for the price we paid at the end expected better maybe it's because they was cooking for 40 of us maybe when i go back with my girlfriend I will have a different opinion on the food that being said the prawns where lovely tho . Not a variety of cocktails to choose from ended up with some whiskey one in the end because that's the only appealing one they had to me howether they have all your spirits and beers to.choose from . Definitely recommend to try this place .
