Achari Indian Kitchen in Bristol, City of

Beautiful food, great people, good vibes. Stunning.

Delicious and very reasonable prices too!

Thank you for a lovely Valentine's Day meal for me and my young family. Although you were extremely busy and it's a small establishment we really enjoyed our tasty meal and didn't feel rushed. It was very flavourful and we will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience, service and food was all 10/10. Honestly have no complaints

I have come to Achari many times and I am always impressed. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great and the service is impeccable. They do a range of very affordable deals that are great for students such as myself. I can’t recommend Achari highly enough!

Great place, great service, amazing food

Amazing experience, lovely food, amazing servers!!!

Delicious food. Amazing flavours. Such lovely staff and a great atmosphere, really recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Great food and great service brilliant to start a night out

Had dinner for a friends birthday and everything was amazing. The food was so delicious - we had an assortment of curries, naans and rice and everything was incredible, just so flavourful. Food and drinks all came out very quickly and they even very kindly gave us our poppadoms on the house! Habib was our server and looked after us so well the entire night, so can’t recommend enough.

The 3’s hockey team, so bold and bright, Went to Achari for a social night. With sticks laid down, and laughter loud, They savored flavors, feeling proud. Curries and tandoori, each bite a win, The team found joy, where spice begins. A perfect night, with food to share, Achari’s warmth was beyond compare!

A chicken bhuna full of flavours, amazing Habib did us many favours The garlic naan was delicious, it left us feeling full and vicious Fun and games with savvy b, Ready for the games to proceed. Flavourful and light like air, Claudia winklemana eating naans everywhere This was yummy and divine , Yes we had a real good time.

The was a 3s team who did love their curry And archari did satisfy our tummy’s We ate and we ate until we were satisfied And left full and wine and very gratified

Great service and excellent food at a reasonable price.

Myself and my lady friend had a delightful visit. Must be one of the best curries I’ve eaten, thoughtful service, will be returning in jiffy - just try to keep me away!

The staff at Achari are lovely as is the food. We had three specials; lamb, king prawn, and sea bass. They were all excellent quality and full of flavour. The sides (aubergine and saag paneer) were just as good. The breads, a chapatti and garlic naan, were fluffy and chewy with the perfect amount of charred flakiness. All of it was perfect and we will definitely be back.

Had an amazing experience. Chiken Shaslik and garlic chicken was standout. Will visit again

Great food, every item we tasted was good. Quick service and great prices too. Definitely a spot to visit if you’re in Bristol!

Really friendly and amazing food! Would definitely recommend! :)

The service was excellent. The food was delicious. Special shoutout to Habib at the restaurant who did a did a stellar job. Very pleased with the service!

Great food lovely experience thanks a lot

So so tasty and value for price would 100% recommend

Although Gilroy has his reservations about any curry house that doesn’t double as a nightclub, Achari won him over. As a university society, we arrived in force, but the staff handled us brilliantly—keeping the naan coming and the “water” flowing without a single flinch. The curries were on point, the portions generous, and even Gilroy admitted the lamb madras might be better than a night out. A great spot for group meals—though we’re pretty sure they were relieved when we finally left!

Society booking for 18 people. Staff were lovely

Really delicious food that never disappoints with good deals and the staff are very friendly and helpful. 😊

Amazing food with amazing service. Lovely and friendly people. Would definitely return

Went with a group of friends, food was really great and will be visiting again..

Great service, delicious food, nice atmosphere.

A well flavoured and tastefully prepared meal, the Lababdar was delicious. Drinks however were not cold, which was dissapointing. Otherwise a good experience.

10/10 experience. Lovely curry. Lovely service. Thank you

10/10 food staff are the loveliest people ever xxxx

Amazing curry place - best in Bristol!! Got me right murf

The food was very delicious, felt like in India. The quantity was also sufficient. Very pocket friendly restaurant.

Visited this restaurant for dinner today and was so impressed I have no doubt I will be visiting again! The waiter was lovely, the service was fast and the food was incredible to say the least, very tasty, perfectly cooked and you can tell the chefs clearly take pride in what they prepare. If you are after some wonderfully tasty and authentic Indian cuisine I most certainly would recommend Achari :)

Achari always has really delicious food and the staff are really nice. We organised a wedding party for 20 people, which went perfectly. Everyone enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was great. The food was very flavourful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The price was good too. We will definitely go back and enjoy other dishes in the menu.

Best Indian in Bristol by a landslide

Amazing food and vibes and so cheap great deal and BYOB!

I have meet with my friend Simon for a meal on Tuesday evening ( 17th Dec) and had a wonderful time with their service and food. The starters are amazing and very unique. Overall it is one of the best places to eat Indian curry!

Just had a really really nice curry with some friends for Christmas meal. Top quality service and great food. Thank you achari

Great food, lovely staff. Always so accommodating and the food is top notch! Gave four star for atmosphere as the staff are very friendly but the restaurant and space is small but food is worth the squeeze as clearly others love the restaurant too! I go back for a takeaway every so often for a treat

Lovely people and amazing food.

Me and my Gmas favourite spot for a curry! Such a lovely warm welcome every time we go and the food is alway delicious! Great atmosphere too!

**Restaurant Review: An Unforgettable Evening of Indian Cuisine** Nestled in the heart of the bustling high street, this Indian restaurant promised an evening of authentic flavors, and I am pleased to say it delivered in ways that left me both satisfied and longing for more. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere set the tone for a memorable experience. Dimly lit chandeliers cast a warm glow over intricately carved wooden furniture, and the faint aroma of spices wafted through the air, instantly whetting my appetite. **Service and Ambiance** The staff were welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. I was guided to my table promptly, and the menu was presented with a genuine smile. The soft background music, a mix of traditional Indian instrumentals and contemporary fusion tracks, added to the cozy yet elegant atmosphere. It was a space that felt both upscale and approachable—ideal for a relaxed dinner or a special occasion. **The Food: A Symphony of Flavors** *Chicken Bhuna* The chicken bhuna was a revelation. This dish is often a litmus test for any Indian restaurant, and here, it was prepared with meticulous care. The rich, thick sauce clung to tender chunks of chicken, a sign of slow cooking that allowed the spices to meld harmoniously. Each bite offered a burst of flavors—earthy cumin, aromatic coriander, and a hint of smoky paprika balanced by the subtle sweetness of caramelized onions. There was just enough heat to make it exciting without overwhelming the palate. It was clear the chef had a deep understanding of spice layering, as no single note dominated the dish. *Pilau Rice* Accompanying the bhuna was a side of pilau rice that was as much a delight to the senses as the main course. The grains were perfectly cooked—fluffy yet distinct—and infused with subtle hints of saffron and whole spices like cardamom and cloves. The rice created a perfect balance against the robust bhuna. The rice was not merely a side dish but a worthy complement that elevated the entire meal. *Garlic Naan* The garlic naan was, quite simply, the best I’ve had in years. Served fresh from the tandoor, it arrived at the table piping hot, with a crisp exterior and a soft, pillowy interior. The naan was generously brushed with garlic butter, its fragrance tantalizing even before the first bite. The slightly charred edges added a depth of flavor that paired beautifully with the rich bhuna sauce. I found myself tearing piece after piece, alternating between scooping up the curry and savoring the bread on its own. **Presentation** The food was presented with understated elegance. The bhuna was served in a traditional copper dish, keeping it warm throughout the meal. The rice came in a neat dome, garnished with sprigs of coriander, while the naan was presented in a woven basket lined with parchment. It was clear that thought had gone into every detail, ensuring both visual appeal and practicality. **Value for Money** For the quality of the food and the overall experience, the meal was reasonably priced. Indian cuisine can often be mishandled at restaurants that cut corners, but here, the dishes spoke of authenticity and skill. It felt like I was paying not just for the meal but for a journey into India’s culinary heritage. **Final Thoughts** This restaurant is a gem that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates Indian cuisine. The chicken bhuna, pilau rice, and garlic naan trio showcased a mastery of flavor, texture, and tradition that left me deeply impressed. The attention to detail, from the service to the food presentation, further elevated the experience. I left with not just a full stomach but a profound appreciation for the artistry behind the meal. If you’re searching for a place to indulge in Indian flavors, look no further. This restaurant is sure to leave an indelible mark on your taste buds—and your heart.

We had a delightful experience at the restaurant, with great service, very kind waiters and great food. Would definitely recommend

unreal, couldn’t recommend a place more highly 🤌🤌

Best Indian restaurant on Cotham Hill, very atmospheric, delicious food and great service! Gluten free options available 👍

Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

I've been in a monthly Bristol Curry Club for 6 years, and this place is right up there. All of the marginal gains come together here! And... BYO booze for £2 - what's not to like?

Habib gave great service, tasty food and a good price for a group of 11. Recommended the jalfrezi🌶️

EDIT As you can see they have commented saying we had no booking. They literally tried to call on an unknown number. Showed the booking when we went in and said ‘you booked online’ then said we had 30 minutes to eat We went here for an anniversary meal after seeing great reviews online. Booked the week before and all accepted online even a reminder the day before. Got to the restaurant and they said they had a bigger group they wanted to serve so we had 30 minutes to eat! They also said they had tried to call… I had one missed call that day on an unknown number and no message left so no possible way to call them back. Were so rude and tried blaming us!

Habib is a wonderful server! Xoxox
