What Our Guests Say About Their Experience
Discover why families keep returning to Lotus for authentic Indian flavors and warm hospitality.
"New owners, new menu. Gave it a go Friday lunchtime. The decor has been upgraded since The Banyan Tree - very modern and relaxed. We were warmly welcomed. Plenty of pescetarian/vegetarian options available. We shared sev puri starter - light, refreshing, delicious. For mains: tandoori monkfish, pumpkin makhini, thoran vegetables, jeera rice and lacha paratha. Food quality was next level. Every grain consumed, dishes wiped clean. Staff warm and friendly. Prices very reasonable. Our new favourite, can't wait to return."
"Absolutely outstanding! Lotus offers one of the best Indian dining experiences in Peterborough. The food was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented — every dish had a perfect balance of spices. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place — a real gem in the city!"
"First time here and certainly won’t be the last. Beautiful place and friendly staff. We had the biriyani and I think it could have been the best we’ve had. So tasty and comes with the naan over the top. 5 star from us"
