Sunil is a top-class chef. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour – you could tell it was made with real care. He was so attentive to what we liked and tailored everything perfectly to our tastes. It wasn’t just a meal – it felt like he cooked from the heart, and we felt that in every bite. Big thanks to Raj, the manager, who really took the time to hear us out. He gave clear guidance to the team, and you could see his passion for good food and great service shine through. Everything flowed smoothly because of that. And I’ve got to give a special mention to Pallavi – an amazing waitress who made sure we were looked after the whole way through. Nothing was too much, and her attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. Altogether, the food, the people, the atmosphere – it just worked! Thank you all so much! P.s - Order the Parle G! Chef's kiss!

Delicious! We opted for a few small plates, a curry each and a couple of cocktails, and it was all excellent - all topped off with lovely service and the sound of live jazz (a regular Thursday evening event). Highly recommend.

The food was not authentic taste. The lucknow biryani was not at all tasty. Can do better with Chicken kebabs. The food is pricey and over and above that they add service charge extra which I was not aware of. Had a bill of 82 and 10 pound more for service charge. WHY?

Heaven for vegetarians and Jains! Would recommend this place as the food tastes like home — pure Indian soul food! Recommended- bandook chaat, soya chaap, rumali roti, kurkuri bhindi, kathal veg biriyani, pav bhaji.

We went for dinner on a Friday night after reading reviews about the good food here and we not disappointed! Everything we chose was from the starter/ small dishes sections of the menu as it all sounded so delicious we couldn’t decide what to have and didn’t want to give anything up for a curry main dish - so we shall have to come back! The food was exceptional, some familiar flavour combinations and others new and exciting to try (Bombay Prawns was our favourite dish) The staff were kind and welcoming, the decor is lovely with family photographs at the entrance and we had a lovely chat with the owner right at the end of the meal. Our only observation was that the food came out so quickly that we were finished within 30mins of arriving! (We were also obviously hungry!) This is excellent if you want to head on somewhere else afterwards but we were there for our evening - they were great at holding back our dessert for 15-20mins so if you are going there for a slower evening, I would mention this at the start.

Given its reviews, I am not sure how useful Google's request for a review is but it really is as good as the ratings say. In a time of dodgy AI fake reviews this comes from a regular customer who has eaten there to meet up with one friend or several all the way through to family birthday meals. What to say? The food is great and the menu is a world away from the average "curry house" (as good as they can undoubtedly be). Rather than recommend anything, I would urge you to be adventurous and try the things that catch your eye. Service is great and the atmosphere is lovely and chilled, generated by the hubbub of conversation and folks who know what they are doing. The Bandook team's only problem is keeping up their reputation, which I imagine is a good problem to have. Thoroughly recommended.

Bandook Bath seriously delivered — from the vibe to the food, everything hit the spot. Shoutout to Yuvraj, who helped us order like pros. His recommendations? Spot. On. We had the lamb chops (juicy, perfectly spiced) and biryani (full of flavour and absolutely banging). The real MVPs? Chicken 65 and paneer chilli — bold, fiery, and totally addictive. We’re still thinking about them. And of course, big respect to Moe, the genius behind it all. The place has a great energy — welcoming, cool, and effortlessly impressive. If you’re in Bath and want food that delivers on taste and vibe, Bandook’s the one. We’ll definitely be back!

A Hidden Gem in Bath Spa! I had an incredible meal at one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited in Bath Spa.

If you’re in Bath and craving authentic Indian food, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I’m often asked where the best Indian food is in Bath. One word: Bandook. Have been coming here for a few years now so this isn’t based on a single visit. Every time I have been (from being 2-7x diners): - the staff have been incredibly welcoming, professional and knowledgeable about the menus - the attentiveness is second to none (staff are vigilant and will notice you finishing your drink or running out of rice/naan etc - they’re not sat on their phones/chatting in a corner like many other restos!) - it always seems to be busy/have a good buzz (even midweek) - for a reason! - the food is ALWAYS top notch (I always want to try new mains but always revert back to the lamb biryani because it’s just so good!) so end up sharing another to try new dishes 🤭 Make sure you visit this place when you’re in Bath, and book ahead (especially Thurs-Sat) to avoid disappointment!

Bandook in Bath absolutely blew us away! From the stylish, vibrant decor to the warm and welcoming service, everything about our experience was top-notch. We ordered the Railway Lamb Curry and the Butter Chicken – and both were outstanding. The Railway Lamb was rich, tender, and deeply spiced with that perfect slow-cooked depth of flavor. The Butter Chicken was creamy, comforting, and full of that signature smoky sweetness – easily one of the best we’ve had. The rice was fresh and fluffy, and everything arrived beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere had a lively, modern twist that made the evening feel special. If you’re in Bath and love Indian food, Bandook is an absolute must. We'll definitely be back!

Vine aquí antes del teatro. Fue la primera vez que visitamos, así que no estaba seguro de qué esperar. Pedí un cordero y pollo al curry con arroz y un peshwari naan. Todo esto llegó a nuestra mesa muy rápido. Ambos platos sabían muy bien y no tuvimos quejas con nada más. El servicio también fue amable y eficiente. Si bien no necesariamente me sorprendió nada de lo que comimos, todo sabía perfectamente bien y el nivel de especias era cómodo - este sería un lugar seguro para ir, y como tal probablemente volvería a visitar.

As a Mosque based in Bath, we had the privilege of working with Bandook for an entire month, relying on them to provide hot meals five days a week for over 100 people a day — and they delivered beyond expectations. This is my personal review as a Trustee at Bath Mosque. The food was consistently on time, generous in portion, and absolutely delicious. The daily dishes provided were varied, from beautifully spiced biryanis to rich, flavourful curries. The quality never dropped — every meal was cooked to perfection with clear care and attention to detail. We were especially touched by the dedication of the kitchen staff. The chefs we collected the food from were not only skilled but truly inspiring in their work ethic. We would often see them preparing meals from the day before to ensure everything was ready for us when we came to pick it up. Their warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on our team. Special thanks must go to Mo, the owner, whose generosity and heart made this entire partnership possible. We could not have managed without his support with pricing and his genuine desire to help. We’re incredibly grateful for everything Bandook did for us and would love to work with them again in the future. — Ahmed Shaaban, Trustee at Bath Mosque

Como mezquita con sede en Bath, tuvimos el privilegio de trabajar con Bandook durante todo un mes, confiando en ellos para proporcionar comidas calientes cinco días a la semana a más de 100 personas al día, y cumplieron con las expectativas. Esta es mi reseña personal como administrador de la mezquita de Bath. La comida era consistentemente a tiempo, generosa en porciones, y absolutamente delicioso. Los platos diarios eran variados, desde biryanis bellamente especiados hasta currys ricos y sabrosos. La calidad nunca bajó: cada comida se cocinó a la perfección con un cuidado claro y atención al detalle. Nos conmovió especialmente la dedicación del personal de la cocina. Los chefs de los que recolectamos la comida no solo eran expertos, sino realmente inspiradores en su ética de trabajo. A menudo los veíamos preparando comidas desde el día anterior para asegurarnos de que todo estaba listo para nosotros cuando vinimos a recogerlo. Su calidez y amabilidad dejó una impresión duradera en nuestro equipo. Un agradecimiento especial a Mo, el propietario, cuya generosidad y corazón hicieron posible toda esta asociación. No podríamos haberlo logrado sin su apoyo con los precios y su deseo genuino de ayudar. Estamos increíblemente agradecidos por todo lo que Bandook hizo por nosotros y nos encantaría volver a trabajar con ellos en el futuro. Ahmed Shaaban, Trustee at Bath Mosque

We were wandering along the street looking for some lovely food, when we found our way along this passage and we were hit by this hypnotic aroma, so we followed our noses and found ourselves here on a busy Sunday afternoon. A lovely lady greeted us and got us comfortable straight away. Oh my goodness this has been the best curry bowl that I have ever had! We had a Tiger Prawn curry bowl and the railways lamb curry bowl. The flavours were incredible, we had naan breads light as clouds, rice, gunpowder fries and a spinach side which was delicious coupled with such warm service. We even had wine and desserts.. sooo good.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at Bandook Indian Kitchen on Milsom Street, Bath, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! My wife, my son, his partner, and I visited on a Sunday night to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to be an unforgettable evening. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was nothing short of phenomenal—each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with the highest quality ingredients. It’s rare to find Indian cuisine that feels both authentic and elevated, but Bandook nails it perfectly. Every bite was a delight, and it’s safe to say we left with full stomachs and happy hearts. The service was equally impressive. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, promptly taking our orders and delivering our food with flawless timing. They demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that made our meal even better. Above all, they were polite, professional, and genuinely warm—qualities that made us feel so welcome. What truly set the night apart, though, was the wonderful surprise at the end. The team went above and beyond by singing "Happy Birthday" to me, presenting a personalized birthday plate complete with a delicious slice of cheesecake and a candle. It was such a heartfelt touch that made the celebration extra special. If you’re looking for an outstanding dining experience in Bath, Bandook Indian Kitchen is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back, and I’d recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. Five stars all the way!

We have dined at Bandook 3 times when visiting Bath now and this is by far an incredible dining experience. We decided to host a pre wedding meal for 26 people the manager was very helpful in organising this and accommodating to the kids and veggies in the group. On the night the staff were brilliant and very approachable and we were greeted by the owner too who showed took great interest in us. We actually decided to dine there again after our wedding as we fancied some fish and lamb chops and again the team were so happy to see us and we had another great meal this time trying some some small plates too - I very impressed with the fried bindi and pakora bites which we decided to experiment with alongside the meat dishes. The set menu for the group booking was more curry based (butter chicken and lamb curry). We dine alot in London so to taste curries better than some places at home was good, will defo visit Bandook again on the next trip.

The restaurant fancies itself as a fine dining establishment. The wait staff are lovely and attentive. What lets this restaurant down is the rude front of house manager lady and the extortionate prices. The lamb chop starter I ordered cost £13 contained 2 very thin lamb chops that were tough and overcooked. The portions were small and we left feeling hungry, despite spending over £75 on just food.

We came all the way from Scotland, and chose Bandook to spend my birthday eve and we were extremely happy about everything there. Drinks- very original and creative and hit you right on spot Starters- we ordered 5 small plates and ate every bit of it. Mine two absolute favourites were pav bhaji and bandook chaat, reminded me of home. Main course was great as well Their service and friendly staff is cherry on cake. A special shout out to Afsana and shirju. They also surprised me with a complimentary mango cheesecake, which we devoured all. I could eat one more portion of that. Manager and chef both were kind enough to take out time to speak with us. He even cared to serve us birthday shots. Overall great experience, would recommend any time. Great work team!

Absolute gem of a place. Incredible value for their lunch menu - £15 for pilau rice, lamb/chicken curry and either samosa chaat or kale pakora chaat. At that price its easily the best value for money Indian I have ever had and third best curry i have ever had in the uk (including Gibraltar which has my number 1) All of it was cooked to perfection and the kale pakora chaat in particular was on another level. My partner is gluten free and the only issue she had with the gluten free options was the excessive choice! Barely anything contained gluten which was pleasing to see (my mum is also a coeliac and i’ll be bringing her!) Staff were attentive and friendly and even when we payed and were just finishing our drinks, they gave us a complementary cup of tea 👍

Visit @the_bath_foodie on insta for more Bath restaurant pictures, videos and info! Bandook has some really delicious food (especially the pani puri and the chaats) and is a very well designed restaurant with a gold atmosphere. We have, however, found the staff to be a little abrupt which can come across as rude. We will, however, keep returning because the street-food style small plates are extensive tasty and they have a fantastic range of vegetarian options. This is not the place to go if you are looking for a big curry, rice and a naan, but deffo give it a go if you are up for sharing small plates and trying new delicious food!

What an incredible experience dining here. Came here on Saturday afternoon and there's not many customers at that time. We were greeted by Moe the manager, and he was really friendly, polite and attentive. He confirmed that the chicken and lamb were halal. The waitress that took our order was well versed with the menu options, and gave great suggestions to choose from. We ordered Railway Lamb Curry and Old New Delhi Butter Chicken, plus Steamed Rice and Garlic Naan to add on. They're absolute perfection! The lamb was really tender and doesn't have a strong smell. Ultimately before we left, Moe kindly let us taste the Indian Cheesecake, which was super delicious too. This restaurant is highly recommended. I would love to come again and try different dishes from the menu.

The food is nothing short of fantastic!! Fresh, flavourful and subtly spiced. We were so impressed with the food and friendly staff, we returned with friends two days later. This place is a real treasure.

Really tasty food, one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to! If I come to bath again I will visit here too

Delicious, would rate 6 stars if I could. I will be thinking about the Keralan moilee for the rest of my life.

Lovely atmosphere and great service. Nice choice of food. I had chilli paneer and lentil char both a bit too sweet for me but I would go back and try other dishes. Good experience thank you

A lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere, all the staff are knowledgable about the menu and extremely friendly. Would highly recommend the kerala chicken 65 and butter chicken, the flavours are incredible and very generous portions for the price! Will definitely be back soon

lamb was well cooked, all the food was great! a bit on the expensive side (the only draught beer Cobra was £7 a pint) but don’t mind paying for quality food. The chilli paneer was also a winner, would definitely recommend to others! thanks!

Lovely tasting food and really nice ambience, but the portions were too small. The service was really slow. To be fair they did have a staff shortage that night and Gabe us a free desert.

We were in Bath for the Rugby so the City was very busy . We Came across Bandook whilst out walking and searching for a eatery Although we hadn’t booked we were offered a table after a five to ten minutes wait Welcoming friendly staff Happy to give us recommendation’s from the menu We had a small plate deep fried cauliflower to start , 1 large plate one bowl and a naan and some rice super tasty and fragrant so good we ordered another bowl dish Comfortable great atmosphere very happy to recommend but would suggest booking in advance Bill for three with a couple of drinks just over £80 with a service charge pre added .

The best Indian I've ever had in the UK if not ever! Amazing, authentic Indian street food. Staff were so polite and friendly. Highly, highly recommend. Best meal I've had in a long time. Lamb biryani was so tender and garlic naans were so fresh.

Lovely tasty meals that you can ask for to be tailored to the spice you need. Chicken wings and squid were amazing. Curry choice seemed limited but grandmas was very nice with the extra green chilli kick, and there was plenty in the bowl. My vegetarian and gluten free friends were very impressed with their options. Only slight disappointment was the soggy biscuit they put into my small £11 martini meaning i couldn’t drink much as there was gross wet biscuit floating in half of it and also once we finished dinner and were waiting for desert, the staff were all chatting and non attentive and in the end, after a long wait, we had to ask to get someones attention to order. All in all, I recommend this to friends and colleagues bar the martini and hopefully table service is a little more planned/frequent after menus are dropped off.

What an incredible experience. The service was amazing and it was my first time eating Indian food. It’s incredibly tasty. I recommend the chicken curry. They prepared for me an extra mild one which still has a little kick to it, but was delicious.

Ordered a takeaway on Sunday night, and I'm now in hospital with food poisoning and on a IV drip. 100% it's from here, as me and my partner had the same food and lunch, and she is completely fine. The only difference was my curry from here. I've had severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, sickness and shivers. They probably just reheated a meal from 2/3 days previously as the food arrived in 15 minutes from ordering. Unless you want to end up like me, I highly recommend you don't eat from there

amazing food and so nice to go to a restaurant where all the food is vegetarian, i was spoiled for choice. ordered the thali which took a while to arrive (1.5hr after ordering) so may be wise to order this if you have plenty of time. but i am sure the other main dishes would arrive quicker. also the kale onion bhaji is one of the best things i’ve tasted!!!!
