From a very good vegetarian selection (The Bay Tree was once vegan-only and still cooks meat separately), a steamy stew is rich in flavour and texture, with large pieces of nicely simmered veg. There are also pasta dishes, a children’s menu for fussy tots, and discounts for students. There’s no wine available, but if you grab some from the nearby shops on your way in, staff will happily provide glasses and corkage for free.

The concept is the brainchild of Amanda Bhalla – “My Husband and I frequently dine out and one day realised there was a niche in the market for a high quality family friendly vegetarian restaurant, the concept was born”. “We decided we wanted to open a restaurant that was not only comfortable and beautiful, we wanted great music, and we wanted the food to be delicious and authentic”. We specifically decided on creating a concept where you would share your food as this is a traditional method of eating at home, thus all our dishes are sharing plate/tapas sizes, our range of dishes compliment each other well and will enhance your dining experience. The menu for Usha’s has been designed and inspired by Usha Bhalla, my Mother-in-law, who incidentally is an amazing cook, in consultation with Sameer Sehgal: formerly of The Dorchester Hotel, London and currently the Speciality Head Chef at Armani Hotels & Resorts’ exclusive Amal Armani hotel in Dubai.
