Indian Temptation in Bath and North East Somerset

If you ever wanted to go for authentic indian food than please try to come at indian Tempataion and have a thali. I can recommend this.

One of the best vegetarian restaurant in bath. Food was extremely delicious and fresh. True balance of Indian spices and portions. Service was really amazing by staff. They are really doing hard work to make sure every customer is happy and satisfied. Thank you so much to serve us.

The opening hours in Google map different when we arrive. We spend 20 minutes walking, and then we find it close !

Lovely Indian Vegetarian restaurant overlooking Bath Abbey. Had a quick lunch there during a Bath shopping outing. The food was fresh and delicious.

Best meal I had in a long time!

One of the best restaurant and best food in the Bath! I did my Lunch and Dinner!! Amazing service and food quality! Also best view!!

Thali was absolutely delicious and service was hands on with the staff explaining what each dish was. Definitely recommend!!

One of the finest and authentic Indian food loved the ambience food and services. Home like food takes you back to India 🇮🇳on first bite. We loved masala dosa and specially the sambhar. Thank you Team Indian temptation you made our day❤

Excellent dinner, an explosion of tastes! Very friendly and helpfull staff. My sons loved their mango lassi.

Really fresh tasty food, generous portions. Helpful and friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning!

Loved it, the food was excellent and the service was really good despite it being in the center of town in a relatively touristy spot. Especially loved the dosa. One recommendation for the ownership is that American tourists use the Yelp app more than google reviews, so you might want to set up a Yelp page to capture their reviews too (assuming you want more American tourists to go)

A truly outstanding restaurant. Unpretentious, quick efficient service and superb food. Very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of the fresh vegetarian dishes on offer (and I am not vegetarian)

Visited on sunday for dinner, Tried their Aloo masala parantha, taste was different level . May customise the filling also. Will surely come back again

Incredible Indian food that matches the best you would get in India. We had the lemon rice, paratha, chana masala, mushroom curry and kale & onion bhaji, all of which were simply delicious. I’m vegan and they were very happy to make us a vegan paratha - but my partner is a meat eater and he thought it was the best Indian food he’d had in the UK. Highly recommend.

A vegetarian rarity. I’m a carnivore but enjoyed my veggie curry very much. The popadom chutney was a bit weak and sparse. Wine and beer prices higher than you’d expect. Waiters very polite. Toilet experience not pleasant.

male staff needs better training for customer service, arrogant behavior. Male washrooms has flies in it, smelly and dirty.

Very friendly waiters, delicious and original dishes!

Food is pretty average. Jackfruit Biriyani was reasonably okay. Dosa was quite bad. Place in general is very dirty. Not recommended.

We stayed in Bath for a few days and really fancied spicy food, our choice was Indian temptation( more by accident than design. )What a lovely find, Staff were great the food was excellent. Vegetarian food only but really delicious. Thanks for looking after us .

Absolutely delicious vegetarian Indian

very pleasant staff & nice food

Best Indian! Beautiful....so cheap!

Good Food -Jain food option also available Very courteous & helpful staff

Very very good ! Great value for money! We feasted.

A warm welcome from the staff. We ordered the kale and onion barjees among other things. They were excellent. The cashew curry and the dhal were also great. Delicious food, nice people and value for money. We walked out and immediately recommended it to the family looking at the outside menu.

Bad customer service & not providing on customer test requirements.

Worst Experience as customer service was at its peak from bottom. No manners how to approach and to talk a conversation. Manager should go and take a training to train its team. Should never recommend this indian restaurant to any other person

Who would have thought you would find one of the most authentic Indian restaurant is Bath not in London. I am very touchy with indian food but as we walked in and the people next to us dived into a bowl on crunchy onions bhajias we knew the food would be good! Ordered my staple- dal makhani, paneer and garlic naan. Good portion size for three people! The couple next to us got a South Indian Thali and that looked delicious too! Really good taste! Quick service and friendly staff! The washroom was also so clean… the place is just opposite the back entrance of the Abbey so hard to miss! Highly recommend!!! Plus it is a pure vegetarian restaurant!!!!

I experienced an interaction with an arrogant server. We had ordered a plain dosa and when we were given masala dosa we sent the order back. The server came back to us with the masala dosa and told us it was for free of cost and that we should eat it. After telling him we didn't want it he insisted twice that we eat it and stressed that it was free of cost. The tone and the demeanour of the server was unprofessional and the assumption that one would jump at a free offer was appalling.

Omg I had a lovely veg food here, bendi tomato was delicious the garlic naans were perfect and crispy not at all too fat like a bread. PERFECT 👌🏻 PANEER CURRY is lovely too, all mix platter is yummy I loved the grilled jackfruit which is quite unique I never ate before

Awesome food and lovely service with a smile. Best Dosa.

We were not that enthusiastic about the food.

Good Indian cuisine, delicious dosas and vibrant ambience, good service, delicious chats and chilly paneer, price worthy

Ok food. Poor service. They charge 1.5 pounds for raw onions, they re cycle the unused/left over onions and re serve other guests for additional 1.5 pounds.. Pathethic.

Amazing flavors and very well made vegetarian dishes. Temptation Thali was amazing, highly recommend getting that.

The service was excellent and flexible as we were late by British standards, it was after 9pm. We had a very good vegetarian meal - even though we hadn't planned it at first: palak paneer, roasted broccoli with mint sauce, chickpea curry, okra with tomatoes.

Highly recommend! I had a korma and lemon rice from the (very extensive) vegan menu. Delicious food, friendly staff and a lovely peaceful atmosphere. I will definitely recommend to friends and return when next in Bath.

I went with my daughter for dinner and food was delicious and we loved the new mocktails, we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

We were so grateful that the staff members at the nearby Fancy That shop in Bath recommended Indian Temptation. On June 9, my husband and I were visiting the UK for the first time and were trying hard to eat healthy. In particular, we wanted vegetables! Indian Temptation was the perfect spot for us. At first we could not open the door--thankfully a restaurant employee was nearby and showed us that we were pushing the door the wrong way, haha! Once upstairs in the restaurant, our table by the window had a lovely view of Bath. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive and kind. When we sent compliments to the chef, the waiter responded that the meals were made with love.

I had a disappointing experience at Indian Temptation yesterday. While the food was passable and the smaller portion sizes were understandable given the pricing, the interaction with the staff was notably poor. Upon requesting the removal of the "OPTIONAL" service charge—citing our status as students and a preference to avoid extra costs—the manager responded rudely, stating that such requests should be made beforehand as per their policy. This raises concerns: if declared upfront, would it have affected the quality of service or food we received because we weren’t paying the service charge? We believe that paying a service charge should be contingent upon receiving exceptional service, which was not our experience. Moreover, as an optional fee, customers should not be required to justify their reasons for not paying it. I hope this feedback prompts the owner to reconsider the restaurant’s policies on service charges.

Food was not tasty and giving less portion of food

The food is really good. Enjoyed the ambience.

We loved this place! Great view of the Abbey and people-watching while eating delicious vegetarian food. My partner is gluten-free and he was well taken care of. Delicious and great value!

Only vegetarian, but one of the best, highly recommended.

The portion sizes are extremely small. The naan bread was good but the rest of the portion sizes were small compared to the price of the item.

Had Chana Masala with Garlic naan,Along side Poppadams . The food and service is upto the mark

Very good food and friendly service

I have visited this restaurant several times and the food always good, when it arrives. Yesterday was our third time..We have recommended it to many of our friends. Their experience of visiting was not good at all, we were also not happy to hear this. And yesterday I felt the same ..i think they changed the chef. Yesterday the food was very bad, the corn potato cutlets were completely raw from inside and the koftas of Temptation Kofta Curry were also raw and soggy. Food has no flavour, the gravy of Butter Paneer and Temptation Kofta Curry was tasteless yesterday. Kiwi mint fizz was the biggest joke ever .. no flavour at all.. it was just lots of ice cube with dash of mint.. Overall experience was a disaster and I m sure I won't put my foot in again.

The food was amazing,we ordered Paneer Butter Masala and Breads were superb I must say....the service offered was also very good, a special call out to Meghan K. for such a good service. All in all a good place to go for yummy food.

I was recommended this place and I am delighted that I went. I had garlic mushrooms and paneer butter masala. Excellent food and extremely helpful staff. Don't hesitate

Lovely authentic food a year ago .... New update. This is the third time I have had food at this place. Usual spot every time I visited Bath. Almost the same order paneer items. The paneer was spiked and had the pink mold. Saw it in the last bite and couldn't help. Informed to the person there and they confronted it was a good paneer and it is masala that we are seeing. Never seen a pink masala and I can definitely differentiate between a pink mold and masala. They didn't care about it. Neither did anything to help. Fast forward to next day(today) food poisoning to one and stomach ache to the other. The masala tea they offer is the English tea with less/no milk in it. Never have it unless u want water with a thin flavor of tea. Pls don't assume masala tea in an Indian restaurant would be the regular Indian tea. The lassi especially the mango lassi doesn't have sugar in it and u r not given sugar sachet unless asked for. We didn't ask as we got it with the tea flavored water. Looks like the menu changed from the last time we visited and this new menu isn't worth it. Absolutely less rice options and two of them are almost the same and the next two are not so great. Service was still fine except for the paneer issue. For which they said the paneer was fresh while it had the pink mold. I have personally worked with pink mold in my lab. And I know and made paneer at home several times. And I am pretty sure of how a masala would look like. Based on the fact that the paneer was hard and slightly burnt I should have understood it was spoiled. Hard paneer and we foolishly thought it was on the verge of expiry only to réalisé it expired long ago. Never coming again. Seems like there are far more healthy options around Bath.

Great food, excellent service and picturesque view from the restaurant!

Tried Indian food for the first time in Bath. Finely decorated with varieties of Vegetarian Indian dishes. The taste was pure Indian, spiced perfectly. Tried Dosha - was a little disappointed with coconut chutney but it was a great experience.

Delicious food it was great experience for me good and great services

Food excellent & service very quick, helpful & friendly

Can't get my head round the negative reviews: staff were great and the meal was the best Indian I've had outside of London and Manchester and those weren't totally veggie menus. Wish I lived in Bath!

Dined at Indian temptation on 20th April 2024. What a superb experience. The best Indian food I have ever had. We ordered the Grazing Platter & Grand Thali & garlic naan & we couldn't eat it all as the portions are very generous. Staff were extremely friendly, helpful & efficient & even came back to say I had paid too much & offered a refund so I explained that the food was so fantastic that the large overpayment was deliberate. Lovely view of The Abbey was a bonus. We will certainly return asap. Thank you to all at Indian Temptation for an amazing night.

Food, staff, everything was incredible. We will be back. My husband said that was the best food he has had apart from London x

Food was Terrible and so as the customer service. Idli was cold and hard, dosa was cold too. Oil dripping from Samosa… when we complained about food being cold they were least bothered. Will never go to this restaurant again

Very delicious curry! Everyone was very happy with food and reasonable prices !

The food was great. service was fast and staff was very helpful.

Meghan was really good! Very kind and respectful. The food was great too!

Great Indian vegetarian restaurant food was excellent

We had a mixed experience. The ambience was inviting, with a pleasant welcome and the food was delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. However, the service left something to be desired. While the staff was friendly, there were noticeable delays in receiving our food. Despite this setback, I appreciated their attentiveness. Overall can say they have potential, but improvements in service efficiency would greatly enhance the dining experience.

Lovely food! Great to have a pure veg curry place in Bath! Dosa was great!

Beautiful interior, including the bathroom! And a view of the cathedral. The loveliest, friendliest people. And amazing, amazing food. And lots of gluten free and vegetarian options! It is my favourite restaurant.

Need to pre book before going to get a nice seating area. Food was good.

Food is delicious Ambience good

Hello Everyone, I just want to tell you all of you that when anyone come in Bath city, England, and who want to eat bestest veg food, they can come to Indian Temptation Restaurant, because food was very delicious and service was very good and worth it. And whenever I come again in Bath City I will come for lunch, dinner at Indian Temptation Restaurant and I'll also prefer to my friends and family. Thank you😊

Beautiful selection of dips and sauces, fantastic quick service. Highly recommend the dosa- wonderful!

yummy Indian restaurant verified by Hong Konger😘

Excellent place for vegetarians. Highly recommend this restaurant

The young guy service was amazing..he is so polite and smiling..

Really great restaurant with very delicious vegetarian food! As someone who is not familiar with the foods, the waiter was really helpful in answering questions and recommending the best options. Highly recommend the Hakka Chilli Paneer and the temptation kofta.

Food was really good. Loved the place. The staffs were really nice and helpful. Must visit

This place is best for indian veg food. Highly recommend the hakka chilli paneer for starters and paneer butter masala for mains. The mango lassi was also very delicious. The staff meghan and kranti were helpful and their recommendations were top notch. Must visit place.

Amazing restaurant and food quality is good

Lovely freshly cooked food. Lovely staff. Excellent service. We ordered two thallis but we could have had one and still be satisfied. Doggy bags given.

Excellent Vegetarian Indian Restaurant. Not greasy or heavy like some, a light touch. I am not vegetarian but prefered it to many meat based restaurants

This restaurant overlooks Bath Abbey (up a flight of stairs) and is wonderful! The vegan and gluten-free options are epic!

What a great restaurant. Lovely owners and serving staff. Fantastic food. I have eaten dosas in many places from India to London, Harrow, Southall, Hounslow and can honestly say that this is one of the best. Just the right blend of spices and lovely chutney and sambhar. Starters - chiili paneer, kale bhajia and bhel poori equally delightful.

Delicious masala dosa and kindest staff

Great masala dosa with delicious flavours. Excellent service too.

We had a a special occasion and we decided to visit Indian Temptation, amazing food, impeccable service and lovely atmosphere. Food is outstanding and the staff are trained and cocktail/ mocktails blends well with the food. Highly recommend!!!

Went here for dinner, the food was absolutely amazing and the staff were also really friendly! Would definitely recommend.

I would say the best samosa chaat I have had in UK. The temptation naan and paneer butter masala was too rich in flavours. Indian temptation is a must try restaurant.

We were a group of 8 work colleagues. We all ordered different food which included biryani, Paneer butter masala , varli baingan, Nan and also the chats everything was superb. We had cocktails and lassi. They have recently started serving cocktails and it was amazing. Will definitely recommend visiting.

Fantastic service, good bar pleasant staff comfortable surroundings. Food is very very good!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was an extraordinary culinary experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance. The aroma of authentic Indian spices filled the air, setting the stage for what turned out to be a delightful feast. The menu offered a wide array of mouthwatering dishes, each bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Not only was the food exceptional, but the service was also impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfection. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to indulge in the rich and diverse flavors of Indian cuisine.

On my anniversary I booked indian temptation, they made my day with real authentic food & incredible service by staff Especial thanks to all team Will visit again

Terrible experience , both of us got food poisoning and it took us a week to recover .. we were alone in the resturant so we possibly were given stale food . Do not go here as it split our whole trip to Bath

Came here on a weekday night with my wife. My first impression was great. The restaurant was quite spacious, clean, and have relaxing atmosphere filled with good playlist of songs. The details of menu and prices were displayed in the picture below, as of February 2024. We ordered Grand Thali and Cheese Naan. The Grand Thali is like a plate full of various side dishes to taste to. The portion was enough for two people, and the prices were reasonable. My wife loves the combination of Cheese Naan dipped with Paneer Masala, which was delicious. This restaurant really gave us a top tier taste of Indian cuisine particularly in Bath city. The customer service was also great. A waitress named Kushali seems to have a comprehensive knowledge on Indian dishes, and she explained to us about the menus really well. Shoutout to a staff named Kranti as well, for following up to us and offered to give us a free add on rice. Overall experience in this restaurant was amazing. Highly recommended, and for sure we'll repeat coming here again in the future.

Such a great meal. It was recommended by a relative and it was wonderful. We will be back!!

We ate only idl and uthapum . Both of us have food poisoning abd still recovering with terrible vomiting and diarreah . I don’t think the batter or Dahl was fresh . Would not recommend or go here again

One of the best places to have authentic india food & flavours. We had a day trip to bath and fancied some Indian food, going to this restaurant was the best decision

Visit was Friday 12th January 2024. We ordered the thali at £22 per person. The food was mostly wet dipping sauce for two very bland items. No spice, no flavours and very basic at best. The most plain tasting vegetarian food I’ve ever eaten. Staff were non existent once the food was dropped on the table, no check back but plenty of eyes watching during our visit. The bill was dropped on the table without a decent interaction from I guess the owner or manager? As a chef I definitely would not recommend this restaurant to either vegetarians or anyone looking for a nice experience.

The food is extremely bad they gave us stale food came to bath for a day didn’t enjoy anything because of food poisoning spoilt our whole day and the night in bath. Paid £60 for absolutely nothing. Please never try this restaurant it’s a waste of money, time and energy.

Gorgeous, friendly, warm, inviting, sumptuous and affordable vegetarian Indian food. The staff are so kind and welcoming and you’re made to feel really comfortable and given lots of time to relax and order and enjoy your food and the ambiance. Not too fussy … just perfect

Such a Lovely place to have an Indian food!! The speciality is it is a pure vegetarian restaurant and i had an amazing experience here 😍i love to suggest this place to everyone ❤️such a beautiful place with lovely staff and service is also satisfying.
