Dot
Scarlet
Date of Visit: 25th
October 2013
Ambience
This is a fusion restaurant with
an Indian menu and a Thai menu – I’m normally wary of fusion restaurants as
they don’t appear to be specialised in one cuisine but we chose this place
since it provided variety for my veggie colleague. We went to Dot Scarlet for a quick lunch and
since the temperature was mild, we opted to sit outside which overlooked some
of the market stalls in Spitafields. The
restaurant itself was not busy but the surrounding area was full of lunchtime
shoppers.
Food
We opted for a bento box set – a
Thai one for myself and an Indian one for my colleague. Mine consisted of Thai crackers, Prawn spring
rolls, Pad Thai, a side salad and some fruit.
The spring rolls were a little over-fried and oily but the Pad Thai was
fairly good. The dressing on the salad
was appetising but the fruit pieces looked dried as if it had been out for some
time.
Drinks wise, we ordered a couple
of non-alcoholic cocktails which were refreshing but little did we know that a
soft drink was served with the bento box.
Service
The service was fine but it would
have been nice if the waiter pointed out a drink was included in the bento set
but it wasn’t a big deal.
Summary
I found the food to be
inconsistent – some elements were nice but others were neglected and as a
result, I wouldn’t recommend it.
