This is a bad bad review from a very unhappy customer: You arrive at the restaurant's doorstep and find yourself obliged to PAY to be able to use the restaurant's parking... As if you eating in the restaurant is not enough forthem. On your way to your table you see stray dogs everwhere IN the restaurant and sitting next to you while you eat the average-standard dinner and service offered to you Just when you think that all the troublesome experience is over, the BILL hits you right in the face. You are not just charged for the just-okay food but also for the TIPS. Yes, mates. A 10% of the total bill is charged for the tips. And i must point out that all of these (the paid parking, strat dogs, tips charges) were NOT informed by the restaurant. Disgusted..

My favourite restaurant. Excellent steak, and an amzing atmosphere at any time of the day.

we Visited this Restaurant with 4 persons. Waiting time was more than 90 minutes for simple things like fried Calamari and burgers. Restaurant wasn't full. I recommend to go there just for drinking or when you are not hungry.

Don’t advertise your restaurant if you are not prepared to take any public bookings

New management offering a mix of creole,indian, chinese food.

Tres bon accueil ,beau cadre ,le prix est au rdv la qualité non .Certes la pêche du jour vous est proposé ( 2 poissons et un crabe ,1espece de crevettes de mer ,une autre d'eau douce ) pas de coquillage , le gratin de fruits de mer surgelé ,les calamars surgelés ,auprix pratiqué ça fait cher le surgelé .C'est dommage le thon rouge frais en carpaccio était bien . Bref cette maison qui a même un sevice de navette a des qualités . Pourtant les gastronomes seront deçus ,il y a mieux pour moins cher . .

had a great time there,fresh seafood available,very nice decor and service was excellent.

We have visited bella now on many occasions and although it is not the cheapest restaurant in the area its service is the winning combination, with the gardens and pool winning you over each time. They are attentive to your needs and if you visit with children they are relaxed and easy to meet your needs, so refreshing, lunchtime is the best time to go if your with younger children. The food is of good quality , prawn cocktail is the best ive eaten on the island, and carpaccio of tuna lovely! Starters are pricey though and not exceptional, in fact most are fried from frozen...the mains are the show stopper though, their fish dishes are good and tasty. Pasta dishes are delicious Tiger prawn lasagne excellent as well as seafood pasta.Chicken curry with prawns very good to. Desserts are average, coofee great though and pool is super what more do you need for the perfect lunch out!

I went there very long ago but everything was so perfect that I couldn't forget till today the wonderful seafood dish lovely hot bread z live music band and of course z lovely staff didn't get annoyed as I was very (exigent) that time they were very nice, polite wiz me,z chef Indian chef so yummy z food and the kitchen so neat I swear I've never seen such clean kitchen in my life even not in a five star hotel, and the waterfalls garden a marvelous souvenirs

serves the best indian food on the island...esp chicken starters

I went there with a group of friends for lunch and we ordered before we reached the restaurant. It took them 30 minutes to bring the starters ( despite ordering before ) and another 30 minutes to bring the mains. The food was really good but drinks were disappointing ( especially the lassi ). Service in general was appalling and you could tell that the waiters were struggling as they were 2-3 looking after the whole restaurant which had 3 to 4 tables of 10 to 15 like ours ! We ordered some ice creams at the end of our meal and it took them another 20 minutes to bring. The food is really good though and if only they worked out the service, I am sure we can have a different dining experience

I've been there recently to celebrate a relative's birthday. The service was quite average as the staff was not that warm. It seemed as if we were disturbing them as the restaurant was empty and they were busy gossiping. Seeing this empty restaurant & the attitude of staff almost made me turn around to go elsewhere. However i gave it a thought & said to myself - let's try the food and see! I was really amazed by the food which was superb and i must say that it's one of the best indian restaurant i've visited. I would certainly go there again but two things that need to be worked on is the service & the drinks (Lassie...which was not up to my expectations) The whole Shoprite complex being under renovation, I would also advise people to be careful when going there!!!

The food was really awesome and the staff were really nice and kind...i went there thrice for dinners and a lunch and i was never disappointed by neither the service or the food..recommended highly sneha

Had been there numerous times. The veg and non-veg thalis are excellent for lunch time. Even the package for 4 that we ordered on another occasion was awesome. If u are looking for delicious Indian cuisine and less spicy food, then it's the place to be. Kids will eat without complaining. They don't sell alcohol but it's not a priority or a miss when the food is so so appetising!

We were told this was the place to hang out at on friday and saturday nights.. Turns out that's because in that specific region, it's the only place open. Another 20 mins heading north you reach Flic-en-Flac, where there's a far better and far wider choice of entertainment at a far more reasonable price... Totally over rated.

Was told to go there as a fellow South African owned it. The service was excellent and Big Willy was on hand all evening, but the food was terrible. Lamb chops were rawer than sushi, steak over done and sauce tasted like packet sauce. Also way over priced IMO. For value for money, 10 mins down the road in Flic en Flac try Pepe's, brilliant!

Was at Big Willys on Saturday night. We had exquisite food. My lamb ribs were excellent and so was my husband's beef filet (according to him the best so far on the island). The servings are generous. After the ribs, I could hardly finished the French fries. Ate on the terrasse and watch rugby on a big screen. Very warm & cosy atmosphere. DJ arrived at around 11ish to mix some of the latest songs. It was greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat! The good mix of ages didn't make my husband and I feel too old (40ish......). At last a discotheque opened to "grown ups". We will definitely be back for the food and atmosphere and surely for the dancing.

big willy's is the best in all!best chef with best food recipe.as well as barman,who fill your glass till your have guts to swallow.romantics candlelight dinner with a cool music.me kawshal"working there, was a great experience for me,nice atmosphere,a friendly working team,along with good bossy.............lol

One of the best steaks of the island. A tad bit expensive. But i guess the restaurant is more on the premium side. The service was excellent. The staff, very friendly and quite patient. Their drinks card does not have enough variety. Wines start pretty much at Rs. 900. Would have loved seeing more creative cocktails and refined premium spirits. More thought needs to go there to match their dishes.

This is for sure the best Restaurant,pub,bar to hang around on the Island. If you want good service,excellent food and drinks look no further Big Willy's is the place. A special note for the owner's Nicolas and Fred those guys know how to look after you and make you have a great time. Can't wait to back to there. Big Willy's rocks
