This time we visited on a Tuesday night and nearly had the place to ourselves, all of us were impressed with the meals, although there were a few dishes not available which was annoying. Highly recommend the dip and warm bread and the cocktails are fantastic. Seating on the floor is exciting for the first hour but after this our... More

I loved the dining experience in this place. You sit in curtained off areas on the floor with cushions and low tables. Really intimate and romantic! Great for dates or special occasions. More

Been here a few times before but last time was about 5 years ago. We had cocktails first, I had an espresso martini $17, it was ok, the Bowery can do them much better with a real shot of espresso. We kept being asked if we are ready to go to our table, when we went they didn't come back... More

Dimly lit, the food flavors were confused. The jazz band playing in the bar was the highlight! Sitting on the floor in the restaurant was just plain uncomfortable. More

Unique decor and dining set up on the floor, awesome mood lighting, relaxing music and delicious food, great funky relaxed bar out the back. Woudnt recommend if needing peace and quiet however the noise gives it a lively buzz and is to be expected due to the curtained off rooms. because of its originality, location and quality meals I rate...

We went with several friends for my hubby birthday and had a great time. The cocktail bar was great and not too expensive. It was great fun sitting on the floor and private with curtains but noisy. More

This was our first time dining at Garuva and the whole experience was fantastic. Seated in our own cosy sectioned off area (very romantic) and sitting on the floor is all a part of the experience. My Husband being 6ft 3" is very tall and had to adjust a few times but he didn't find it too uncomfortable. The meal... More

Great little set up and great atmosphere. It's private and would be great for catch ups for dates, quite romantic! Food however is quite average.. a little better than average maybe. Definitely try the Lamb curry, it is great! Service was very slow! Took them around 20-30 minutes to even get our first order! More

Expensive and ordinary. The cocktails are great but the food is ordinary. Great concept where you sit on the floor but if you are over 5ft 10' dont expect comfort. Slack service tops off a horrible evening. More

A group of 22 of us went out for a Hen's night. The service was very average and they initially seated us in an area much too small for our group. The seating is all cushions on the floor at low tables, curtained off into little private areas. It is quite intimate and would be great for a romantic evening.... More
