Curry Mahal in Bath and North East Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I returned here after 2 years. We were remembered and welcomed with open arms. The food and service was as outstanding as the last time we came. I just wish I lived a little bit closer so I could visit more regularly. Very friendly atmosphere with good quality food and service. Would recommend to everyone.

Pretty grim. There's no doubting that the owner is very friendly, but that's not camouflage enough for the poor quality of the food. The butter chicken was a bland soup with bits of chicken in it and the prawn dhansak probably had more in common with Patak's than genuine Indian cuisine. The naan, which held up the order, was cooked to the point of cremation. I've had much better and wouldn't recommend this place. Hate to sound mean-spirited but, if you're paying good money, you should get good food. This wasn't it.

The absolute worst experience. On arriving we had to knock on the kitchen as there were no staff in the restaurant. It took ages to get served . They are more interested in their takeaway business. The onion bhargies were like dried out bolders the aloo chat had Apple, Carrot, peanut and topped with Bombay mix... what country are they in ! We made our excuses and left asking for our main to boxed up.. it was horrendous , lamb chops were mutton and tasted awful, so greasy. The Rogan Josh was full of grease and it tasted like a roast chicken had been just added to some random sauce.the bar had hardly any drinks and decor was drab.. I would not want my worst enemy to go there .. avoid avoid avoid

Wonderful food and plenty of it, well cooked and full of flavour. It was a Monday night and fairly quiet and weren’t rushed at all. Good value .

What a wonderful little place this is, the food was delicious and so much of it. Excellent value for money too, the service was friendly and staff were very helpful. If you want to walk a little out of the centre of Bath for something to eat, do come here, we just loved our meal and the whole evening.

Solo take away. Tue night. Chicken tikka, aloo sag and Bhajis. Nice popodoms added no extra. The main dishes were clearly cooked from scratch and were very tasty, nicely spiced and flavored. The chicken had clearly been cooked on the tandoori grill - good sized chunks. All in lovely and very reasonably priced. I’ll be back!

Lovely owner, peaceful ambience, delicious food and great prices. Bring your own bottle as well! Very friendly

I dined alone. Sincerely this is the best food I've had outside of India, Forget your 'Mint Rooms' etc. Real deal and great price. Sean (I believe the owner) recommended a Jalfrezi. Knock your socks off GREAT. Enjoy!

We thought we would have a treat as we don’t often get take-aways. The food ordered took over an hour to be delivered (early Monday evening). Plastic cartons did not keep foot hot. Raita was like warm milk. Greasy samosas. Pilau rice was horribly sweet. Spicy popadoms burnt. I rang to query my bill a day later as it was more expensive than I had worked out from website prices. Told due to supplier increases etc they had put them up. Chicken dishes that were £9.95 on website now £11.95!!! These increases are not proportionate and should be updated on website. Overall far too expensive and won’t be visiting or getting a delivery again.

This cheating company is breaking the law, by advertising at one price but selling at another. This is so so wrong

Pleasantly surprised with this Indian Restaurant. Was made to feel extremely welcome, The food was great, Not overly spicy, just perfect. Nan bread to die for. As for the plate sized popadoms, very appetising. Will be back very soon. Can’t wait

Unfortunately I wasn't very happy when I arrived to pick up my takeaway as was charged £2 extra for my Jalfrezi dish which was advertised on the menu both online and in the restaurant at £9.95 but was told the price on all lamb dishes had been increased to £11.95 due to the war. And I was also chaarged an extra 0.50 for using my card to pay. So all in all a Jalfrezi and pilau rice with yoghurt side dish cost me £16.56 to collect...pretty sure that's more expensive than most Indian takeaways in Bath. Menu prices need updating! Order also took twice as long as what was specified. Staff were friendly and welcoming but I felt it was overpriced for a takeaway. Prices need to be updated clearly so customers pay what they expect to pay.

Visited with myself and 9 family members. Excellent food and service and certainly intend to visit again.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. We were served by the owner, who was very nice, we had samosas, sticky rice, and honey chicken. It was nice that it was a little away from the main tourist area. Would definitely recommend.

We live near this place, and walk past it on our way to town. It's become a little meme to see how many people there are in there - which is usually 2, or none. If it's 2, they're always in the window. My other half won't go in owing to reports of dodgy toilets, but I've been determined, and finally paid a solo visit. The interior really should be Gd2* listed, as it cannot have been changed since the 1970s. Flock wallpaper, mock leather seats that would have been green at one time, now a Dulux "white with a shade of mint". The chintzy side plates at one time were printed with "Curry Mahal". They now read "Cu hal". As entirely anticipated, the food is also straight from the 70s, but should not be afforded a listing. We all know how brown was THE 70s colour and everything here is brown. The prawn on the puree was absolutely brown and tasted of precisely nothing. The puree was, however, thin, crispy and piping hot. Not sufficient to gain another star though. Naga lamb was the identical brown in a swamp of brown gravy. There was a bit of a kick, but not a Naga kick. The lamb was quite tender, but fatty. Bhindi was stewed to a soup, and brown. I asked for cider, he moped around at the bar for ages and said "we've got one bottle of fruit cider, but that's it". I had the house white which was passable. For someone with a sparsely populated business serving truly atrocious food, you'd think he would be extremely welcoming to those who don't fear to tread inside - but no. Sullen and sour, like his food. I'm glad I tried it, but never again. And yes, the toilet was extremely grim.

We arrived amongst a football team but the food was the worst we have had nothing fresh sent my food back as was bland watery and no spice Considering I ordered a naga he took it away and bought back the same watery taste less curry just salty I asked him to try he agreed was salty and in fact one of the worst curries have eaten even a supermarket jar is better or on par do not waste time or money on this shame as we went on good reviews and they were a lie disappointed

My family visit Curry Mahal often, we always have a lovely experience, excellent service and the best curry in Bath. I would recommend the chicken tikka biriani!

We called to book a table for two on a Thursday evening as we were travelling back from a day out. When we arrived there were two other tables enjoying their food. We both needed the toilet, the ladies are downstairs and scary! In the dark basement I found two cubicles that did not look clean at all, you know what they say about if the toilets are dirty . . . . i wonder what the kitchen is like! From that point on I was anxious how the food would be, the poppadoms and naan bread were great but the curries were more like slop. Lovely people but not a good experience - sorry :-(

Owners are lovely, you can definitely tell they are passionate about what they do. Food was delicious and the manager was very friendly - would 100% recommend.

Super service and very friendly. Slight time warp on the decor but this just adds to the ambience. We just went straight to the main courses. Lamb biryani was brilliant. Lamb nicely cooked, lots of veggies and tasty sauce. Sri Lankan chicken nice and spicy. All with perfect nan and delicious Dahl. Lovely evening.

Pretty good food with a kind service. It is pitty that the restaurant is very old fashionable! Prices are ok. And they serve food even it is late!

Encantador cordero saag y pollo a la lima, gran servicio, nada demasiado problemático y muy amable. Volveremos en otro descanso. Salimos a las 12. 30 temprano el sábado por la mañana todavía admitimos clientes, por lo que para la comida de la noche llegamos al oro. Comida sin comer empacada para llevar a casa también.

fabulosa comida y servicio, 2 cervezas, chutney tray y poppadoms, 2 platos cada uno, compartieron un arroz, menores de 30 años.Sin embargo, el baño de mujeres de la planta baja es oscuro, húmedo y lúgubre. Me da miedo pensar cuántos años tiene la cuerda en el tirón de la luz, ¡es negra! ¡No muy higiénico!

Not my favourite Indian. We ordered 2 chicken dishes and they tasted identical, very sweet with honey and grainy. Serving was mostly sauce with quite a meagre serving of chicken. It was ok, but I wouldn't rush back.

We had a nice takeaway. The onion bhaji’s were very nice and everything else was good too. Reasonable prices and fairly quick service.

A small, cozy and very welcoming little curry house offering delicious and reasonably priced dishes. Just beware that they are at the bottom of Lansdown Road and not halfway up as indicated on TripAdvisors map.

Nuestra cena aquí fue absolutamente deliciosa. Nuestros platos (pollo shaslik y cordero korma con curry de verduras, papas bombay y arroz) eran extremadamente sabrosos, los ingredientes frescos y la carne jugosa y tierna. Y el muy amable propietario estaba feliz de explicarnos los diversos platos, ya que había algunos que no habíamos visto antes. Sin duda nuestra mejor comida en Bath.

Highly recommend this place I ordered a takeaway to the hotel am staying at.Came fairly quick I was so happy. Fresh onions Bhaji ,naan and curries thanks

Tenía una entrega para llevar esta noche. El pollo en el vindaloo era duro como las botas viejas y no era del todo picante. El keema nan apenas tenía carne. El pollo korma era totalmente insípido y en una salsa muy líquida. Evita este lugar y prueba algunos de los otros en Bath que son mucho mejores. También la entrega tardó más de una hora y estamos a solo 5 minutos.

Truly delicious curry snf a very helpful and friendly owner who advised on whst the dishes were as there are many which are off the nofmal curry house menu. A cut above the normal curry experience.

Gluten Free dishes. Excellent food, great taste & big portions!! Lovely atmosphere for a romantic dinner or family meal out & the staff are so friendly (best service ever). Would recommend to anyone . Great curry to eat in & take away. 🖒

A saturdat night treat turned out to be a huge disappointment.

We were renting the holiday let next door and came here on our first evening.

No está tan mal, he estado aquí varias veces y siempre regresamos por hábito / pereza en lugar de deseo. La comida está bien, no puedo quejarme, pero los platos de las "especialidades del chef" no están; Vale la pena el dinero extra. Los curries normales y los extras son buenos. Se comió una vez y el servicio fue excelente, el servicio de comida para llevar también es bueno

Delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend this place to curry lovers and people who want cheap food

Teníamos un primer plato, dos platos principales y arroz y naan. La comida es muy sabrosa, la porción es mejor que la de otros indios en Bath, y el precio es razonable.

Friendly. The curry and side dishes all tasted distinct and delicious. Nice selection of vegetables in all our dishes which were chosen to be meat free. Great wallpaper.

Llegamos tarde a Bath y solo queríamos cenar, así que intentamos salir de este lugar porque estaba cerca. El pollo de la mantequilla es asqueroso, muy dulce y granulado. También tenía un korma vegetal que sabía virtualmente lo mismo con las zanahorias y los guisantes congelados mezclados. El arroz era espeso y el naan ni siquiera era bueno. Lo único que estaba bien era la samosa. Tan decepcionante como desperdiciamos 30 y nos vamos a dormir con hambre! ¡Por favor NO te lleves de aquí!

Pedí una comida que llegó puntualmente. Sin embargo, toda la comida se echó a perder cuando encontramos y en realidad masticamos un pelo negro largo y grueso, que estaba dentro del pan naan. Cuando llamamos para avisarles y preguntamos si todos los que manipulaban alimentos llevaban redecillas para el pelo, nos expulsaron por completo y el dueño siguió inventando excusas. Ambos somos rubios, así que definitivamente no era nuestro Nos ofrecieron un naan gratis la próxima vez que ordenemos! No, gracias. . No hay oportunidad de que volvamos a comer en este lugar nuevamente.

Wonderful welcoming and tasty experience. Always a delight and a privilege to be there, service gracious and the place is a special Gem in the heart of Bath

Having not been for a curry in a long, long time due to some poor experiences over the years, we decided to try Curry Mahal as a family Birthday treat for my teenage daughter. The service was very friendly and just the right balance of knowing when to be available. The food was FANTASTIC! All 5 of us agreed it was the best Indian food we had ever had. It was fresh and tasty with perfect sized portions.

We had a very delicious dinner here yesterday - Tawa Chicken, Naga Lamb, dhal, salad, saag mottif, rice and nan with great Kingfisher beer. Low key place with reasonable prices and great food!

The restaurant was empty when we went on a Friday evening so we were a little nervous, but it was fine.

Traditional North Indian dishes, freshly cooked and well-spiced with all the favourites in low-key, somewhat retro family run restaurant. Our new favourite Indian restaurant in Bath, and our local!

Well worth a visit nice ambiance in the restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful food good especially the onion bargee. The chicken shaslic was also good. The bonus is you can bring your own drink. Looking forward to are next visit

Had another great meal, very friendly staff great food, looked after my 7 year old Son with extra free pudding! All you need

When staying in Bath previously had takeaways.Four of us went here for a meal which we enjoyed very much. Host was extremely pleasant. only downfall was at the end of the evening going into the ladies toilet which was in the basement, It smelt of damp and really could do with a coat of paint, was not a very pleasant experience. Shame as we enjoyed our meal.

We regularly eat at Curry Mahal and always find the food fresh tasting and consistently good. The staff work extremely hard and are always friendly. Service can be a little slower when it is really busy but they go out of their way to accommodate everyone. With reference to the poor review from the group who were there on 25th November, we were also eating in the restaurant that evening. It was a night when the Christmas markets were on and Bath rugby had been playing so every eating establishment in Bath was heaving. People did have to wait a little longer, which was quite understandable under the circumstances. The food is definitely worth waiting for.

I ordered a takeaway. Food: was a bit oily but tasted good. Service: the staff was very humble to talk and they packed complimentary poppadoms and salad for us. Quality: a bit oily food. Portion size: Good.

We ordered our food really early as we knew that Saturdays are a busy day. An hour later the food hadn't arrived so we rang and were told that it wouldn't be long and it became apparent from their conversations that they had forgotten our order. Another hour later and the food still hadn't arrived. We phoned again and they said it was on the way. At this point we wanted to cancel as it had been two hours but as they had taken the money from our card, we had to wait it out. We phoned for the third time 45minutes later and they said they would ring the delivery driver to find out where he was and call us back. They didn't call back and the food finally arrived 3 hours late! When we checked our order, not only was there a dish missing, the dish I ordered was completely wrong. I looked at the menu there was nothing that vaguely resembled what i had received. I phoned to ask for a refund for the missing items because it was obvious that we wouldn't get them before 10pm. Unsurprisingly we never received refund for the missing items so they basically ripped us off. We feel cheated and they will never get our business again.

I’ve been here a few times and came a couple of weeks ago. Rang up 1 hour before and asked if they could accommodate 7 people and they said they had one table left. The service and food was amazing! As it was busy it wasn’t as fast as it usually is but we had great company so weren’t too bothered about the extra wait - especially because they had taken us on such short notice!

Went here as a group of 7 on Saturday 25th November 2017. Were seated quickly which was the only positive of the entire evening.

Came across this eatery by chance as we were attending a function at Christ Church across the road. We ordered a thali which was a mix of dishes. Each dish was delicious and flavours were well matched. Food was really good but the cheesy decor and bizarre layout of the restaurant didn't add to the experience (i.e. Toilets seem to be in the cellar and random tables laid out in any open space).

I have been ordering food from this restaurant for many many years and it is always deliciously consistent.

Vine aquí con mi novio para nuestro cumpleaños y tuvimos una comida deliciosa. El restaurante es familiar y la comida era tan fresco y delicioso! Servicio realmente encantador y muy buenos precios.

Este restaurante ha tenido críticas mixtas, mi esposa y yo visitamos en la tarde del jueves 14 de septiembre.

As soon as I arrived I was greeted graciously and was asked where I would like to sit. One of the first things I noticed upon arrival was the calm and relaxing atmosphere created by mood lighting and a sensual breeze of music flowing across the restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and within 15 minutes of waiting, my food arrived. I had ordered a chicken korma and I can honestly say that this was the best korma I've ever tasted. The portion size was extremely generous so I would say I definitely received my value for money. I will definitely be coming back here and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting bath. Overall, a lovely evening assisted by fantastic service and delicious food!

We were quite late in the evening visiting this curry house - there were two couples. They had no draught beer, so as the bottled beers are more expensive, they gave me a bottle of beer for the same price as the draught. However, when it came it was a smaller quantity. The waiter wouldn't allow me to make a small change to one of the things on the menu when we ordered. After ordering, he brought us some onion bhajis on the house. They were very nice. I had a vegetarian dish I'd not heard of before. (I can't remember the name of it now).This was really awful. It was like a gravy with a few tiny pieces of vegetables in it and not a very nice flavour. I think this is the worst dish I have had in an Indian restaurant. Unfortunately it was difficult to complain because our friends had just offered to pay for our meal. I would not go back.

Came here with my family a couple of weeks ago. Really good service with friendly staff. Had the chicken madras and was honestly the best I've had in a while

This is my second time visit with my family  to eat at this restaurant.  The food was really good, I always used to have butty kebab starter and King Prawn Bhuna as a main meal and when i had it I got real indian cuisines taste. However, when I come to this restaurant  I feel like my home environment.  Overall this is a fantastic experience  for  my family ......Highly recommended.

I take no pleasure from writing this but this has to be the worst curry I have had for years. The staff were really nice but my meal was inedible and my wife's wasn't much better. Maybe we just went there on a bad night but we will never return

Ive both eaten in and had a few take aways/deliveries.... id give 8 out of 10 generally. But having ordered a lentil dhal and been given a lentil korma....?????.... am not quite sure if they misheard me over the phone or had just been lazy.Either way, not impressed. I will be returning that tomorrow for my money back.Sloppy.

Went there for dinner with friends, who recommended and rated this restaurant very good - that eventually changed after this visit.The food was ok, but I would not rate it as good. We ordered dishes and explicitly asked to make it spicy, that unfortunately did not happen. After asking for some spicy sauce, they waiter said that we will get some sauce for free. When we asked for the bill, we had a "nice surprise".They charged us 4 naan bread too much, the "free" spicy sauce suddenly costed 3 quid and several elements on the bill were just stated as "food or drinks" with a random price. After checking our food the waiter revised the bill, but insisted that the food and drinks element was right. When I paid then (17 quid) I gave the waiter 20 quid, telling him to give me 3 quid back. He just went away and said thank you. Very nice - not =)In total, I will never go there again. Other Indian places are way better and have better prices.

Got take away food many times from this place. Affordable price and good food with good quantity.

Bad food no service.... Dishonesty... comments from a bitter, deluded customer.. very surprised by these comments as I am a regular customer who eats in and receives deliveries.. Absolutely faultless service and always a GREAT meal..

Continually get orders wrong , Donald Trump of Indian cuisine Not fine and original Indian foodCan't say anymore

What a great Evening. Made to feel so welcome. A few extras not charged for. Such friendly staff. Food was Great. Recommended to everyone. Thank you so much... will be back soon....,...

Visited here a few weeks ago, there weren't many other people sitting in but many many take away orders! Cosy, quiet and very friendly family run business.Food was delicious and nothing is trouble when asking staff. We had many different dishes, couldn't fault any and very reasonable prices! I will be returning again..

Twice I ordered a take away, good food but when the very nice delivery man turns up it's a different price than told on the phone. I called to point this is out and although it was admittted they said we made a mistake. TWICE

Food was perfect. We've had many Indians but this rates as one of best. The atmosphere feels authentic and the dishes were excellent. It was very busy which denotes the sign of a good restaurant, but even so, the service was great and we were made very welcome.We will always go back there.

What does one do for dinner when you live right next door to an Indian Restaurant? Why you order a carry-out Curry of course. Convenience, carry-out, and Curry make for a great dinner. We were tired from a long day of sight seeing and just wanted to get back home and take our shoes off. We saw a sign for the Indian restaurant right next door that offered a 10 per cent discount on carry-out orders. It was a no brainer, so we ordered and shared a coconut based Curry, Chicken Korma. It was mild, sweet and flavorful. We added some naan bread, Samosas and some Chicken Tika. All were packed in individual plastic containers. The owners made us feel welcomed and the wait was short. They even suggested and set up a cab for us for the following Friday when we shared we were going to the train station and not sure who to contact. Beyond a doubt, I heartily recommend the Curry Mahal for a great meal and friendly people.

I booked this restaurant for my leaving party and was very impressed by the taste and quality of food on offer. They catered for 20 of us and all courses were delivered on time and piping hot with polite and friendly service. Well worth visiting if you're in town.

Ordered over the phone food was ready for collection and delicious Price was excellent and definitely use them again when staying in Bath

I have used these guys ever since moving to Bath 6 years ago. They've been consistently good with there customer service over the phone and the curry's are pretty dam good to. I've had better but for a delivery service it's perfect. Also good value for money!

I just had some food from curry Mahal and it was very nice and tasty and it was worth waiting for. Also the staff was very friendly.

Sehr freundliches Personal, ausgezeichnetes Essen.10 min zu Fuß vom Zentrum. Kein Touristen Nepp.Sehr empfehlenswert

We had a lovely meal at Curry Mahal tonight. The food was lovely and the portions generous... not quite sure how we ate all we'd ordered, but it was so yummy our plates were clean. Staff were relaxed and friendly. Prices very reasonable, especially for Bath. Would definately recommend

Have eaten here numerous times and have never been disappointed. As a bring-your-own it is great value, especially for large groups. The food is delicious and the service is always great. They also do take outs. It's worth the short walk from the main town centre as it's great value, and it's all down hill back into Bath!

I had the jalfrezi and a taka dahl, it was great. The server was very friendly and they let you bring your own booze. Will definately come again.

I came here as part of a group of 12 friends from work. Initially because of the decor I did not expect much as it is very dated, however when we were met by our friendly host my perceptions changed. You are able to bring your own wine with no corkage charge which is wonderful in itself. There is a large choice on the menu for relatively cheap prices. I tried lamb passanda, honey chicken, korma and tikka masala - I'm not that adventurous.... All the dishes were of good size and anything Not finished the waiter offered to box up for take out. The waiter could see we were a large group with lots to talk about and made sure to give us the right appropriate space without constantly fussing the table. I would come here again and recommend.

the atmosphere is the best quality of this small and quiet place.The food is not bad, but is just enough not leave the table. the prices are in line with the quality.I would go there if I want to relax with nobody around

Six of us celebrated my birthday at curry Mahal. The food was great. There was a relaxed atmosphere and the staff were very efficient and friendly. The meal was good value and a couple if us took our own wine. I had not been to the restaurant for years because it is slightly away from the town centre but will now make it my 'local'. Thank you fir a lovely evening!

The Curry Mahal looks attractive, and is one of the few in Bath which claims to do take-aways every lunchtime, and to be open 7 days a week from 12 noon - 2.30 pm and 6 pm - 11.30 pm. BUT - we were there on Saturday at 11.55 am to get a take-away for my 95 year old Mum, who loves curry. No-one was there, so we phoned (no answer) waited until 12.10pm, and then decided to pick up a pre-cooked one from Waitrose. At 1.30 pm Curry Mahal phoned back to say they had just opened! So we have no idea whether the food is any good or not, but aren't likely to try again for a take-away!

Love coming to this restaurant when I visit Bath ! I have to say the food and quality of is one of the best curries I have ever tried. The prices for the dishes are reasonable along with the portion sizes too. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is also nice and welcoming. The Peshwari Nans are a must to try at this place !

We ordered for three people over the phone and were told the delivery time will be 1 hour. After 3 phone calls and 1,5 hours later the food arrived. Unfortunately one dish was the wrong food. Another dish I ordered from the menu was lamb nowabdar. The dish did not taste nearly as described and on the box it was spelled different. Not entirely sure if it was even the right dish. Not a happy customer and cannot recommend.

I ordered in as it was my last night in bath before I go back to uni, so thought I'd try this place as its quite affordable considering my budget lol To my surprise this is probably one of the best indians I've had, food was so delicious! The chicken biryani was not greasy at all compared to other Indian takeaways I've had and such a generous portion also the lamb madras was so tender! The food was piping hot too, definitely ordering again when I'm back!

Please do not go to this restaurant the quality of food is absolutely poor. Whatever on the menu they serve exactly opposite. Example if u ask for barbecue fish they will give you fried fish. It's a really shame as they don't even know how to cook proper Indian curry.But advice you rajput or eastern eye ate only 2 best Indian restaurant.if u don't want you ruin ur lunch or dinner.

I get my takeaways from here all the time, it's not 'high end' Indian food but is good honest fare. So...when it was time for me to book for a large party of people I decided to give them a shot. I am so glad I did. They allowed us to bring our own wine for a small corkage fee (even though they are licensed). I liaised with them beforehand to give them everyone's menu choices and they were helpful and friendly throughout. On the night they were attentive, the food was good and a great time was had by all. Everyone had starters, sides and mains and even with the corkage and the service charge the bill came in at about 16.50 per head!!! Lovely people, good food, great atmosphere! They are great for takeaways and even better for large parties. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed an on spec lunch today, Saturday, and having walked up the hill from the town to this restaurant we were not disappointed. Deeta (sorry if the spelling is wrong) was our waiter and we can not fault his service - very friendly with nothing being too much trouble - have eaten here before and can honestly say the quality of the food is consistently good

I love a good curry, and this place is very convenient to those on the upper Lansdown side of Bath. It even delivers, and the staff are lovely people. The food, however is not on par with the other numerous Indian restaurants in Bath. I struggled to narrow down my choices, as the menu is exhaustively extensive. Ma always says that a menu that tries to offer everything usually falls short, and this is the case. We ordered completely different dishes, but they tasted and looked identical, apart from the colour. The curry doesn't have the usual chunks of meat you would expect, but rather carved slices from pre-cooked chinks of meat. A good curry should have the meat cooked with the sauce to seal the flavour, and I found this lacking. A curry should never be insipid. But the whole experience left me a bit wan

It is not often I rate things, but Bath has a surplus of restaurants and this one is just not worth it.There was nothing wrong individually, but as a whole, just go else where.The service was slow, yet not slow enough to complain about.The food was bland and uninteresting, again nothing wrong with it, just boring.The one thing that was wrong was the papadums where soft, not crisp. This just points to the "we can't be bothered" attitude.It could be brilliant but it is just like they have lost the plot and can't be bothered, not going to do anything that makes it bad just not doing anything to make it great.

Lovely place, we brought our own alcohol and they were so hospitable here.The food was very nice and they made up a veggie dish for me based on my favourite veggies and spice level. Naan was great too.We stayed here for hours even drinking the drinks we brought in ourselves and they always made us feel welcome.Would definitely come again.

We stayed across the road from Curry Mahal at a holiday apartment in Bath. Got in late so decided to grab takeaway. Met Deepa, the owner, and were instantly welcomed with open arms. She is a friendly lady and got along with my wife and I. The food was nice and spicy. We had lamb dopiaza and butter chicken and were not disappointed. Spicy and tasty.The next night we went back and this time after dinner they served us complimentary tea and Peshawari naan (sweet coconut naan bread). It was nice to talk to them over tea. I would recommend people who like good curries and gracious hosts to go to Curry Mahal for a nice dinner. Thank you Deepa!

I never thought I would use the word 'bland' to describe a meal at an Indian restaurant, but unfortunately I get to use it in this review. While admittedly we did order food that was not on the hot (spicy) end of the scale, other than the onion bhajis, (which were excellent but could have been served with a nice accompanying sauce), the rest of the food lacked any real flavours (even on a mild spice level). It was bland and boring. The most disappointing of all were the vegetable samosas which appeared to be frozen carrots and peas wrapped in a thin layer of phyllo pastry without any spice added at all (did someone in the kitchen forget?). The service was quick and polite, but the meal was not moreish in any way.

Went to curry mahal for a birthday celebration with a few mates. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was very good. It is also 'byob' which I feel is an advantage.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at Curry Mahal. My husband and I and our two friends all had something different and it was all very nice. I liked how we were not rushed which added to our relaxation. We took our own wine which also made the experience for us as we all like different wines. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. All in all a very nice evening. Check out the gallery on the website which shows a variety of dishes. However the menu is very extensive with very good veggie options. Worth a visit if you are a curry addict like us.

Me my friend went to curry mahal for a dinner with a Recommendation by an old friend. Food and service was excellent. We will come back again soon.

The front door has been there since it was Eduards in the 80s and should have been replaced then. The service was very slow, the beer was weak, and they were delivering more take aways than serving customers, so far from a good start.However the food was good and the value too. So my advice would be, stay at home and have their take away. David Bath

Eleven of us ate here this evening for my daughter's birthday and I can say it is the best Indian restaurant I have eaten at. The food was excellent, at a very reasonable price, and the staff were really friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and homely and we had a great evening as a result. I would highly recommend this restaurant!!!
