    Pleasant staff. Very nice food. Good value with the OpenTable deal. Our one criticism is that although we liked the decor the light level was very low. I hate very brightly lit restaurants but this was so dark we had to use our phone torches to read the menu. Would go back though.

    Paro is pretty good overall. Good and bad points. Felt rushed the speed the food was brought out and plates cleared before everyone was finished. No break at all between starter and main. We specifically asked if the butter chicken was breast meat and were told it was. It wasn't. Couldn't eat it, but they did replace it quickly with another dish. Service was friendly and the food was tasty and hot. Only real downside was that if I'd seen the toilets before eating, I wouldn't have eaten here.

    Second time coming to Paro, thoroughly enjoyed as usual. Food is good value for money considering the location, popadoms are a little over priced considering you only get one per person. Other than this the staff were very attentive and food was tasty. We will be returning in the future

    Great Pre-Theatre menu with lots of choice and was really good value for money for two people. Restaurant in a great location. We visited on a Saturday night so it was very busy, but it felt quite hard sometimes to get the waiters attention and we had to call them over 10 minutes after sitting down to take our drinks order.
