Are online or telephone reservations limited?
Jasmine Palace accepts a limited number of reservations because we welcome walk-ins at any time.
Can customers visit our restaurants without making a reservation?
We can be extremely busy, especially at weekends, bank holidays or special occasions (easter,xmas etc..) but we do our best to accommodate our customers on a first come, first served basis. Sadly some customers may be disappointed by the wait and we apologize for that but cannot guarantee a table at busy times. We therefore ask large groups, or those attending for special occasion to book in advance to avoid disappointment

Yes. However, our operator may not be able to accept every Facebook booking or may not be able to reply in time for your booking. It would speed up the process if you leave a contact number and email address with your message.

In order to make any reservation using our service you must have the legal capacity to do so and you must accept financial responsibility for all transactions made under your name. You must make sure that all the information you provide to us is true and accurate. Booking a table at our restaurant means you have to pay our restaurant, usually at the end of your meal. Jasmine Palace management reserve the right to require customers to pay for their meal before being seated.

We will, however, use our best endeavours to provide you with an alternative table as soon as we can. If some of your guests are running more than 15 min late, then please inform at the reception immediately so that alternative arrangement can be made to accommodate you as soon as your guests arrive.
