About BAHA

On Ash St in Windermere, BAHA is a restaurant serving Asian street food alongside cocktails and regular live music. Fire-Crisp Pork Belly opens the menu as a starter, and the Thai Green Curry appears as a main in a large portion. For two people, a 3 meat Sunday roast is served as a sharing platter, and a surf and turf add-on brings a ribeye steak to the table for an extra charge. Waitstaff take orders and carry dishes out rather than leaving service to a counter, and the restaurant runs on a walk-in basis with no reservations. The cocktail list sits alongside the food menu rather than as a separate bar offering. Live music is a regular fixture on the schedule, running alongside the sharing plates and mains through the week.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the pork belly starter, described in one review as absolutely delicious and in another as fantastic alongside the Panang Tiger Prawns, plus the Thai Green Curry, called the best curry one reviewer had tasted. A shareable meat platter with lamb that "fell off the bone" and a 3 meat Sunday roast platter also draw praise, and several reviews describe birthday visits marked by handwritten cards, candles, and staff singing. Service is repeatedly called warm, attentive, and friendly, though quality seems inconsistent: one reviewer found their steak and surf and turf addition "no flavour and very chewy" for the price, and another felt mains like the Yellow Adobo Half Chicken and Spiced Lamb Rump didn't match the strength of the starters, with several menu items, including the ribs, unavailable that night. Multiple reviewers say they'd return.

    “Popped over to Bowness on the ferry for a day trip and wanted to grab a bite to eat in the afternoon. The Asian fusion aspect is why we chose Baha but actually ended up sharing their 3 meat sunday roast for two platter. The food was great but the service was better; friendly, personable and attentive and willing to be flexible with the drinks on offer when my first choice was unavailable. Alex and Leon were exactly who you'd want to represent any business in the service industry and they're a credit to the management of Baha.”

    “I took my partner to Baha to celebrate her birthday while we were staying in the area. The food looked fantastic online, and the atmosphere of the restaurant really appealed to us, so our expectations were quite high—especially given the price point. To start, we ordered the Fire-Crisp Pork Belly and the Panang Tiger Prawns. Both dishes were absolutely fantastic—full of flavour and beautifully presented. They really set the bar high for the rest of the meal. Unfortunately, the mains didn't live up to those expectations. There were quite a few items unavailable on the menu, particularly the beef dishes. We'd specifically planned to order the ribs, only to find they weren't available. Instead, I had the Yellow Adobo Half Chicken, which was recommended by our waiter, and my partner chose the Spiced Lamb Rump. Sadly, we were both left feeling quite underwhelmed. Neither dish matched the quality or flavour of the starters, and it was disappointing after such a strong start. We also had a cocktail each, and my partner ordered a Prosecco. By the end of the meal, the bill came to over £120, and unfortunately, we didn't feel the experience justified the cost. We decided not to order dessert as we were already disappointed with the mains and didn't want to spend any more. Overall, I don't think the meal offered good value for money. The starters were excellent, and the restaurant itself has a great atmosphere, but the mains let the experience down. If they had been of the same standard as the starters, this would easily have been a five-star review.”
