Blue Ginger in Bristol, City of

Tarka daal STANK of FISH. Really, really horrible. Feel sick after trying a mouthful. Assuming it’s gone off & out if date, but still serving it. Cheese garlic naan bread is Grimm. Saag aloo is incredibly salty & potatoes taste like from a tin. AVOID

They never delivered to my area but now they do so bonus I haven’t had a curry in a long time so this was a treat the lovely gent who delivered was very polite thank you everyone had a nice meal 🥰

Ordered a takeaway from here 20/03/2025 , I always remember having good food from this place when I lived nearby , but tonight’s offering was just plain awful , the delivery was prompt and ahead of schedule but it goes downhill rapidly from there , the food was just swimming in grease and quite frankly inedible, I’m disappointed 0 stars :( won’t be ordering again I’m affraid. Buck your ideas up blue ginger

Absolutely disgusting service ordered through just eat £60 worth of food for family Order turns up for someone else not even close to wot we ordered contacted blue ginger only to be told not our problem Offered no refund only if I drive over and collect it we can keep the wrong food and collect ours Absolutely disgusting never ordering from there again contacting trade and standards tomorrow poor service rude on the fone and have taken our money stay clear of this place

Disappointed – Too Sweet and Undercooked Food Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Peanut Butter Chicken, expecting flavourful Indian food. The Peanut Butter Chicken was unbelievably sweet—more like a dessert than a curry, completely unbalanced and inedible. On top of that, the rice was nearly raw, making the entire meal impossible to eat. We ended up throwing everything away, which was frustrating and a total waste of money.

Takeaway via Uber Eats. King prawn Biryani was overcooked and tasteless. Wife didn't eat it. Crab Ke Imli was an oily greasy mess with little flavour. Bullet naan was nothing like it should be, just a plain naan with a hint of heat. No chillis in sight. Even the poppadoms were oily tasting. Won't bother again, just glad there was a discount from Uber this time. Note to self , don't trust Uber eats restaurant ratings.

it was late but was expected on valentines night. food was good as always.

Delicious saag aloo but our mains and naans were bland and flavourless. We ordered for collection and nothing was hot.

Really great vegetarian options, would definitely order again! The only downside was there were only 4 pieces of paneer in saag paneer but I think was oversight. Otherwise top notch!

Nosotros como grupo grande e incluso con nuestras familias visitando el jengibre azul todo el tiempo, ha sido mi restaurante favorito durante muchos años, incluso cuando tenían una puntuación baja en la higiene continuamos yendo para mostrar nuestro apoyo y siempre nos encantó la comida y el servicio fue genial, sin embargo 14 de nosotros reservamos para ir el sábado por la noche y 7 cancelados a última hora. Cuando llegamos le explicamos esto al gerente y se disculpó, luego nos habló muy groseramente diciendo que no está encendido y deberíamos haberle informado, aunque estamos de acuerdo en que fue tarde en el aviso que continuamos explicando que solo nos acababan de decir a nosotros mismos, pero que lo sentimos mucho, continuó hablándonos groseramente diciéndonos que nos sentáramos en la entrada y esperáramos para poder ordenar la mesa, un miembro de nuestro grupo le preguntó “¿quieres que nos vayamos?”, luego respondió “depende de ti. Entonces todos discutimos lo que debíamos hacer, ya que todos nos sentimos muy incómodos, ya que dijo todo esto delante de los clientes. Otro miembro de nuestro grupo lo escuchó decir a otro miembro del personal “me están molestando”. Fue en este punto que decidimos irnos e irnos a otro lugar. Estoy absolutamente destripado como he dicho antes, comemos mucho aquí, pero nunca regresaré después de esta experiencia.

Gorgeous food. Super friendly staff. Brilliant value for money. BYO. Thoroughly recommend you give it a try. You will definitely go back again for more.

Fabulous food, good value for money. Very pleasant and helpful staff, highly recommended...

Ordered takeaway, popadom tasted of old oil, chicken chewy and sauces not very flavourful.

nice food however it was cold collected when told to 20mins after ordering made

Arrived in good time, fresh and hot, however the food was a little bland, don’t think the flavours had time to blend, tasted like a based sauce with elements thrown in at the last minute but it didn’t work well on flavour/taste

7 of us went for a Christmas meal. As soon as we sat down it seemed they were rushing us to order then to clear away our starters, rushing our main and clearing away. We felt rushed and we were unable to enjoy the night. Even had a member of staff telling us they needed our table after only being there hour and fifteen minutes. I don't very often write bad reviews but it spoilt our night.

Fuimos al Blue Ginger para una celebración navideña anticipada. Estaba muy bien decorado con una iluminación acogedora. La comida era deliciosa y había una buena selección de platos vegetarianos. Nuestro camarero Juwel era excelente y la combinación de buena comida y buen servicio significaba que todos tuvimos una velada agradable.

Preciosa comida ambiente encantador gran lugar servicio era brillante nada demasiado problema Joya era realmente servicial sin duda volveremos!

Lovely atmosphere and the best Indian food Definitely be back. The staff was really friendly. Service was amazing too:)

Comida de gran calidad, servicio rápido y es bueno que pueda traer sus propias bebidas, así que no será una noche cara con amigos / familia.

Fuera para una comida en un viaje de trabajo por lo que no tenía conocimiento previo del establecimiento. El personal era muy educado y la comida era deliciosa y llena de sabor.

Delicious, good portion size. Speedy. Would definitely order again.

Just had a Blue ginger takeaway after living less than a minute away for the last 3 years and had never tried it Absolutely blown away, fantastic meal we all really enjoyed it and will be back again and again, extremely tasty you can tell they put there love and skills into their dishes The online ordering and collection process is so simple, no wait at all Cannot recommend blue ginger highly enough.

Delivery was on time and food was fantastic. Let down by the driver phoning and telling us to come out to collect.

Out with friends. Easy to book. Lively atmosphere. Amazing food. Great service and value for money. What's not to like.

Great Friday night atmosphere Fantastic food Lovely staff with perfect table service Couldn't have been more enjoyable! Highly recommend this restaurant

Food was lovely and service was excellent always like coming to blue ginger .. will definitely be back again ..it was very busy however service was still excellent

Food was delicious definitely buy again

went with a group of friends the service was impeccable so attentive and friendly some of the best food I have eaten in bristol

Love this place, so lucky to live close to this restaurant. We come here with our unruly toddlers and the staff are always so friendly 🙏 The curries are EXCEPTIONAL, best curries I've had. Totally recommend the Pathia, Madras, their Bombay potatoes, I always order food to takeaway when we go out here and the takeaway portions are fantastic!

Highly recommend, always great food and delivered on time.

Delivery time changed during the order period. We choose the restaurant as 10 mins from where we lived, food arrived barely tepid

Friday evening meal which was delicious and great service. The tamirand and chilli dip served with poppadoms is amazing.

Really fast delivery. Tasty food. Would order again.

Fabulous food. Sea Bass Curry and honey chicken were our first time try. And both were delicious. Also had tikka masala, pasanda & saag which were the usual excellent dishes. Our two waiters were happy and fun. Both of which couldn’t be better. Sadly we only took one name (Maman). With the added bonus of BYO drinks, the bill was really reasonable. This was our first visit, and We will definitely be back very soon.

Rice came very watery, both curries weren’t closed properly meaning they had exploded all over the bag in delivery. Chicken tikka barely had any flavour. Very disappointing as this is normally our go to curry house and was not up to usual standard

This is a very friendly Indian Restaurant which is BYO to help to keep costs down and I have never failed to enjoy the curries. Their standard curries are all great and they have a tasty range of specials. It has parking outside or in nearby streets. The staff are so very friendly and attentive.

Once again another lovely meal, the food is superb, very tasty and generous portions. Juwel and the team are so friendly and helpful. We have been coming here for many years and have never had a bad meal. A big thanks to all of you and we will see you again very soon.

This place is amazing excellent food excellent service can’t do enough for you only had takeout in the past but now we just love the place since eating in, Juwel and the rest of the team are fab keep up the good work 👍🏼

We visited with some friends. A lovely venue. Staff very friendly and efficient. We felt we got special treatment. The food was tasty and well presented. In all, the restaurent was very professional in every aspect.

Lamb was really good, naan and popadoms were excellent. Curries were interesting flavours. One rice was missing, chicken was overdone. Was hard to distinguish curries as only one was labeled.

We held our family member's birthday gathering here. The staff are great in helping us with arrangements , choosing certain dishes, helpful and friendly. The dishes we chose were full of flavour. I would highly recommend this place.

Very good quality and excellent service

a really good meal again thank you

Jay and his team do a fantastic job quality food

very disappointed the ingredients was over powering where unable to eat I work In this area and watch how the dishes are cooked and to what I received it's all been put in with no care I'm advising not to order iv dinned at this restaurant iv never had this service in my past it's very off putting I hope the management can explain why this issue as happened waste of money

We came to England from our home near Paris and visited friends in Bristol who told us about this restaurant. We were not disappointed. Jewel, our waiter, was particularly charming and attentive, and the food was really tasty and piping hot. We highly recommend the Blue Ginger. Jacques and Katie from France

Brilliant place with good quality food

Food quality is so poor! Very disappointing no taste and so bland. How can you an Indian restaurant go wrong with egg fried rice and a chicken korma!!

Curries not great, ordered a vindaloo and it was flavourless and just had lots of chilli powder added to it. Very disappointing and far more expensive other curries available locally that are delicious.

Delivered on time but all our 3 meals were extremely bland. They were slightly more expensive then other Indian take aways as well which makes its more frustrating.

Really good food the best curry i have had in a long time, Thank you

Believe i have been given the wrong order

A quiet meal on a Friday night (NOT). This place was absolutely packed with everyone appearing to be having fun and certainly making a noise. Food was pretty good. BYO as far as booze is concerned (shops nearby). Mistake made with one of the dishes (not sure who made the mistake, it could have been me), however, all sorted out rapidly and without fuss. The staff were really chatty and friendly (just difficult to hear over all the other dinners).

Drove by this place so many times and always wanted to try it. It was early evening and we was lucky enough to get a table. Food was stunning and service was really good, lovely friendly staff.

Just had chicken vindaloo x2 delivered from uber eats absolutely disgusting no flavour tastes like spicy water and pickle tray all dried up I'm not sure what has happened to the once lovely food that they used to serve but one thing for sure I will not be using them again

Driver was very friendly and even gave me a rose as it's mother's day 😁

Really nice food and staff really attentive they want you to have a nice time and enjoy yourself. Good music. Loved it had a Funtime with my family, thank you.

Fantastic service and food! Staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food was outstanding, quick service and great portion sizes.

Had a lovely meal here with the family.

Nice food good service very extremely clean toilets would come here again very cheap I would eat here forever if I could .

Fantastic food and brilliant service. Highly highly recommend

Used to be lovely food but standards have slipped. Salmon tikka starter, only 2 pieces of salmon as per picture(and no flavour) onion bhaji starter was smaller and the bhaji dry and overcooked. I have been trying dishes from the Appetisers section for a change but they bear no resemblance to the descriptions, in fact 2 of the dishes came with identical sauces, and the portions have got smaller too (whole portion shown in container) Used to be really good there but the chicken chaat starter is the only decent thing now.

Lovely evening, great service, friendly staff and a warm atmosphere, will be coming back definitely!! came back & even licked the plate!

Easy going cosy restaurant, great service, super friendly staff. Food came out hot which is always good! Would recommend

Lovely food and always very helpful and friendly staff always help with picking my dishes always choose blue ginger for many years

My first time here. Atmosphere was great. Staff were very helpful and polite. I was allowed to bring my own alcohol and fizzy drink. Food was bang on! 10/10 PG review’s BRISTOL recommended!!!!

Impromptu meal out with partner, after a busy day shopping. Enjoyed the meal very much. Pleasant surroundings. Worth a visit.

Lovely food. Quick and nice service from Juwel. Had the vegetable quorma and chicken tikka both were very nice and served very hot

Superb food, friendly staff, eleven people, food was served together and was hot. Restaurant provided me a mini cheese cake as a birthday cake when my family didn't get me one 🤣.

Always very friendly and welcoming, and food was very tasty, always happy with our order when we come

Been here a few times since moving to the area. Really good food and the service is second to none , we had Anu who couldn’t have looked after us better! Food is very reasonable and with free corkage makes for a lovely but affordable night out!

Lovely evening, great service, friendly staff and a warm atmosphere, will be coming back definitely!!

Best food I've had in along time. Service was fab. Bring your own booze which is great aswell. Will be back. Will also have a few takeaways in the future.

Went here to eat with a friend last night and have to say the food was delicious. Great service. Been here a few times to eat and I'm never disappointed.

Absolutely lovely amazing friendly service it was perfect and I asked for a dish with a little more spice and I think they created my perfect curry Thankyou so much

The food is very tasty and the portions are huge, so good value. Recommend that you book as it is very popular. Also BYO on drinks.

Absolutely wonderful staff to match the beautiful food. I would recommend getting anything from here. It's truly fantastic. Thank-you to all the staff and our server, Jewel.

Booked a table of 4 which was fine, we sat down and ordered our food with a little wait but nothing silly. Food came out within a good time also. They did miss a few items off the order, and we weren’t given any napkins but again not a huge deal. The main issue for us was the sheer noise and activity in the restaurant. Large groups screaming and shouting, singing and walking around interacting with other table just trying to eat their meals. Food good, atmosphere like a house party.

Went on a Tuesday evening at 9pm and it was very quiet, so service was quick and the food came out fast. It's bring your own booze, there's a little shop just round the corner you can get some from. Lovely food, only slight issue was one of the naan was ever so slightly burnt but it didn't take away from the rest of the food. Parking was a bit of a pain, but as we went late parking outside was fine, so something to be aware of.

Great result really enjoyed it excellent, I loved it yes brilliant was a fantastic meal really loves it yes. Thanks. Cheers then bubby bye bye bye cheers then thanks

Really good food. Served very quickly and very fresh. Good portion size and good prices. Bring your own drinks is a nice addition too. Would definitely come back. Served by Only. Brilliant customer service

Our favourite Indian in Bristol, staff are so lovely and friendly, we've found most other Indian restaurants have quite rude staff and sooo slow service which is why we always come here as you don't get that! The honey chicken curry is amazing and they always accommodate our requests (adding things on or tweeking dishes). Bring your own drink too which is a massive bonus

Fantastic curry with a lovely atmosphere, all staff are very friendly, chatty and can’t do enough for you. Will be back again soon. Thank you guys 🙏

It was not as good as we thought it would be. Was ok, hence the 3 stars. We will try them again. Had Lamb Rogan Josh (will pay for more Lamb next time) and Chicken Balti. For medium curries, they were very mild to us. The reason you eat curry is of the flavour and spice, right? Value for money......... nearly £40. Then No.

Lovely food and great service from Jewel and the team. Would definitely recommend and will be coming again.

Accommodated a large table of 23. Remembered everyone’s orders. Very good food. Can bring your own alcohol if you wish

Really good food and such nice staff! Very friendly, we had a big party of 20+ and the meals came out quickly and were all delicious!

Lovely atmosphere, food is hot and tasty. The staff are nice and really helpful, brilliant experience every time we come in 😃

Really good food. Staff were brilliant. Reasonably priced

Mamoon was lovely and friendly like everybody else. The owner is a scream and sooooo genuine. The food was really lovely too. Great selection. The lamb in my tikka masala was really tender and tasty. Always love the popadoms and pickle tray. Superb Thanks sooo...

The service this evening was fantastic. Great food and they even put the air-con on for us when we got hot eating our food. Would highly recommend.

Lovely place to eat, always serve great food and the staff are lovely to talk to. They're willing to answer any questions about why dishes as well.

This spot is great for all occasions the food is always spot. Portions are very generous and can't go wrong with a BYOB. Thank you Anu for the amazing service.

Returned to yet another tasty meal. Anu and the rest of the staff are all very welcoming, courteous and will recommend dishes when asked. Everything is reasonably priced and it being a BYO saves the pennies on the bill.

Amazing flavour curries, and really good balance of spice and heat. Party of 4 people with varied taste and heat, enjoyed by all.

Such lovely people who work here, always makes me feel welcome & wanted! Food is gorgeous at usual, my place to go always🫶

Came here with my beautiful best friend, food and service was excellent. Very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Anu and the team :)

the staff in blue ginger is amazing there very welcoming and friendly to customers there always there for a laugh

Amazing staff and food was lovely! Came here for a birthday meal and was very happy with the service 😊
