Kaldosa in Bristol, City of

Brilliant service such friendly wait staff. Food is exceptional absolutely delicious and authentic southern Indian food. The paneer is amazing. As is the paratha and aubergine curry!!

Me and my girlfriend rate all the restaurants we go to based on 3 criteria- food, price, atmosphere. This is the only restaurant which has scored 5/5 for every category out of the ones we've been to. Not sure how much significance that carries... but yeah, Kal Dosa is great. Our waiter (Rahul) offered probably the highest level of customer service I have experienced at a restaurant, especially for a birthday dinner. We will definitely be returning :)

The service and the food was incredible. Everyone was so kind and hospitable. The atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect, especially celebrating a birthday with a party of 13 people. One of the best restaurants I have ever been to.

Great food, great service from Luke! Had some small plates, but will be back again to try more! Solid 5!!

Lovely costumer service by staff royal, enjoyed all food💯👍

We had small plates and a dosa and it was all DELICIOUS!!

Ordered for the first time from here on deliveroo. Excellent food and really quick delivery. Ordered a variety of dishes all really tasty with a nice kick of heat. Definitely be ordering again.

What can I say, I've never been for a Thali before but I can tell you everything I had on my tray was delicious, I had a seat outside in the sun, cold beers cheaper than the bar next door with chilled music playing, one of the best eating experiences I've ever had. Top marks 👌🏻

My partner and I visited for lunch and all the food was so delicious - from the small plates to the Dosa and also the lassi. Everything was so well spiced and perfectly cooked, the staff were so friendly and helpful too, 5 stars all around

Visited kal dosa with my girlfriend Lili today and we were served the sexiest, most fragrant selection of deliciousness we’ve had in ages. All the food was spot on and to top it all off our server, Royal, was an absolute bloody legend who took great care of us and made us feel special. 10/10 would visit again!

Been First time as heared alot about kal dosa . Had amazing experience. All staff members were so lovely and helpful. Food had amazing taste .. will definitely come again..atmosphere was so nice and calming.

Has good veggie food options. Nice ambience. Veggie thali and kal dosa were good. The new menu lacks some of the items shown on the images on google reviews.

Really good food, really nice staff :)

Delicious food and great service! Anthony was super friendly and made the experience even better. Will definitely come again!

Great vegans options!! Highly recommend!

Amazing, tasty, authentic food. They were able to reduce the amount of chilli for us and our son. Really enjoyed the dosas and being Indian I would highly recommend!

Easily thy most flavourful lamb curry I've had in the UK. The chicken dosa was banging. Service was really good (they didn't try to upsell unnecessarily), but were very helpful.

Food, ambience and service was great!!

Fab Saturday dinner. Food and service exceptional value.

The food was really mid, no flavours just fancy presentation. Quite disappointed actually as I heard good reviews about this place. Everything seemed just hot and spicy thats all.

Food was good ish, quite salty and wasn’t as hot as I would have liked, great service and nice place

I went to Kal Dosa with my husband recently and as soon as we arrived we knew we would have a positive experience. The service was very welcoming and friendly and the food was outstanding! There were plenty of vegan options for us to choose from. We shared a couple of starters, had a dosa each and a couple of drinks. We will definitely go back to try something new from their menu. I highly recommend you visit!

The menu looked promising, we had the curry leaf prawns, kodi vepudu (curry leaf chicken fried), salmon and podi kal dosa (pancake type). Most of the food was lacking, you can feel the heat but no outstanding flavours especially the prawns. The salmon was okay nothing that would get you excited. The dosas were nice but were served with really small amounts of chutneys and a minuscule amount of cold sambhar. The chicken had a better blend of flavours but a bit too greasy. Serving time for food was bit long, but they did apologise, Service was mid We spent around 43£ for the food, and wasn't really satisfied overall. Will we go again? I doubt it. But hope it gets better.

Visited Kal Dosa for the unlimited thali for £15. We had one vegetarian and one meat thali. Really delicious - came with sambar, a coconut vegetable stew, vendaka (okra) fritters, potato, mixed veg, rice, paratha, rasam, papadum and Ada pradhaman for dessert 🍛

Ok, we are hard to please but this place was honestly AMAZING. We had the prawn and scallop curry, the lamb curry, the salad, rice and paratha, and WOW. No other traditional curry house comes close. And the Tangy Tiger cocktail was superb! Will be back VERY soon x

Had a bunch of the starters for lunch and they were delicious. Also could not resist ordering a dosa which was incredibly crispy and delicious. I’ll be back to try the 12-3 Thali Lunch special.

This is not the place for you if you like British style curries like Dansak and Bhuna. Very nice but not for me.

¡Increíble comida! ¡Las dosas son enormes y deliciosas! También probamos un par de currys que también eran tan buenos. Muy recomendable

Food was really good and tasty. Fast service and good drinks.

The dosa itself didn't taste as authentic.probaby weather related batter fermentation difficulties. Chicken dosa filling was very tasty.paneer fry was spicy hot and well made.lemonade was good.we ordered ginger beer.it was not good with dosa.should have gone with their suggestion and ordered the chai.atmosphere was ok but we felt a tad bit claustrophobic in the corner seat behind a wall.will need another visit and sit upfront near the windows.good prompt service,nice people.

Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend a visit.

Undoubtedly my most favourite biriyani in the whole of England. Especially coming from somewhere close to Dindigul.

This is one our go-to place, whenever we want to have an authentic South Indian food. Some of our favourites there are chicken biriyani, kodi vepudu (chicken 65's equivalent), prawn thokku, and now our recent favourite is their lunch thali - loved it! I can certainly say you can't get a better south Indian biriyani than you get it here!

AMAZING FOOD!! i live right next door so im honestly sorted for life, absolutely love it!!! i couldn’t recommend it enough!!

We had 3 starters, one dosa and 2 pints between the 2 of us. The amount of food you get for the price is great and the quality is insane! The flavour from each meal and the presentation really exceeded my expectations. Really great service too. Friendly staff and the food arrived in good time. Can't wait to come back again.

Good food with Authentic taste.

Authentic South Indian food which is rare to find in Bristol and very welcoming staff I will definitely go there again 🙏

Kal Dosa is a must-try spot for any Indian food fan! Please get a dosa, they are amazing!!

Came out for Sunday brunch but ended up here! And was delighted. We had the fish fry, southern fried chicken and a masala dosa to share, with mango lassis. All of it absolutely banging and highly recommended.

Very nice and professional service. Cosy atmosphere. Not to mention the delicious food, which even convinced my friend who doesn't like Indian food. I love South Indian food. Dosa is a dish that will satisfy the most demanding palates. In addition, when I wanted to give them a tip for this wonderful experience, they flatly refused, saying that my words of appreciation meant so much to them that they didn't want any money. Heartwarming ❤️

The staff was super accommodating, food was delicious!

Met a friend here for dinner, and I have to say, it was a great choice! I’m vegan, he’s not, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the dosa was particularly lovely! I would give the mysore dosa 10/10! I wish I had got another instead of my main, the flavor profile was amazing and of course the texture of the crispy dosa with the spicy aloo is just perfect! Really lovely place, clean and tidy. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff who were attentive but not intrusive. I’ll definitely come back if I’m in the area!

We had our Christmas work meal here tonight (I know we're early but it was the most convenient time for all of us). Most of my team went with the Thali and seemed very happy with it, I had a chilli cheese dosa and red dal. Outstanding food and flavour, and reslly good portions, I felt full but not like I'd overeaten. The staff couldn't do enough for us and were incredibly accomodating with my coriander 'intolerance' (I have the coriander soap gene so have to request no coriander where possible). I will definitely be coming back.

I had a great dosa! It was a late booking and it's a popular place so there were only window seats available. But that was perfect for a meal for two. The service was really friendly and super fast. The dosa was really tasty but could have been a tiny bit thinner.

Fantastic food and service in a great setting. One of my favourite restaurants in the city

What a gem of a place! Really glad we booked - it was a midweek evening but full! Lovely vibe, friendly people and scrumptious Dosa. The fish starter was melt in the mouth spicy bliss 😊

Loved it! Great genuine food. Simple menu but great choices for everyone. Will return on my next visit to Bristol!

Had a great menu, different from usual indian menus, great choices for vegetarian, amazing cocktails, service was great, lovely interior, only fault is the toilets could have been cleaner

Very nice food, highly recommend

Tasty food. Really friendly staff. 👌

We visit here regularly - one of the very very few places in Bristol where you can get authentic South Indian food. Staff are always very kind and courteous. Has become our go to restaurant these days!

La comida era brillante, ambiente encantador, buen servicio y a un precio razonable para el tamaño de la porción! Definitivamente volveré, pero solicitando un asiento que no sea de banco. El banco era bastante incómodo

I have now been here twice. Once for lunch and the second was for a large group dinner. The food is fantastic and the service has been amazing! You have to try the paneer. The only gripe I had was making the dinner booking. If they can just make it a little easier.

Being from Birmingham, I can be quite picky with Indian food, but Kal Dosa is absolutely fantastic. Delicious traditional South Indian food which is made all the better by the lovely staff. Highly recommend giving it a visit!

Food was amazing! It was all so tasty and fresh. The staff are also so friendly and it’s a really nice atmosphere in the evening

When eating-in, the food was amazing. Properly spicy but not outrageous mouth killing. Really diverse dishes, the dosas are a must but the veggie sides are also good. Takeaway was much less impressive though - merely good. Hopefully just a one off.

Maravillosa comida auténtica con una magnífica mezcla de especias y fragancias. El personal era de primera clase y nos encantó sus recomendaciones

Super tasty, very good music (massive plus for us), and good service. We asked for the day menu, which is a tasting menu with small plates, small beer and small dessert. Super recomendable!

One the best meals I've had in a looooong time, we had the thali, 100% recommended

Food unbelievable. Had the thali and each dish was better than the last. Staff were lovely and even the music was perfect. Highly recommend

Overall good food with prices on the higher side. Recommended by a colleague and hence, went there to eat the meat thali. The meat thali for 25 GBP seems a bit high for me as the rice and paratha quantity is such that meat thali can't be shared with one person unless the person wants to eat only protein items. The chettinad chicken quantity in chicken dosa is great and chutney's associated with dosa are good but quantity can be questioned based on 13 gbp cost. Food tasted good and there are not many nonveg south Indian places in england. So, a worth try place.

Preciosa la enorme dosa y el pollo al curry, delicioso y sabroso pero no demasiado picante. Buen ambiente pero ten en cuenta que es ruidoso tan complicado si es difícil de oír

Food was great, not too heavy and really tasty. I had the prawn and scallop curry for main and the Italian red wine was delish. Manager Amelia and all staff were super friendly, thanks guys.

Great food, great prices and really attentive service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Another fantastic meal. Everything is excellent. Would 100% recommend.

Loved it. Friendly service, nice (but quiet) atmosphere and brilliant, delicious food. The dosas are enormous and delicious. The Thali was great, lots of interesting things and we all walked out very full. Will be back again soon.

Always had a great experience here. Table service is fantastic and the prices are reasonable enough to stop here for lunch or dinner. The dosas are incredible. They also offer takeaway.

Love the food and the staff are always so lovely, can’t wait to go back

We recently dined at Kal Dosa and had a fantastic experience. We ordered the Thali, and every dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared. The staff were attentive and helpful, adding to the overall excellent service. With such a delightful meal and great service, Kal Dosa certainly deserves 5 stars. I’m looking forward to returning soon.

I recently visited Kal Dosa, an Indian restaurant that exceeded my expectations in every way. We ordered the Thali, and each component was thoughtfully crafted, providing a true taste of authentic Indian cuisine. The highlight of the meal was the Rasam Soup, which was simply brilliant. The staff at Kal Dosa were exceptionally friendly. I highly recommend Kal Dosa for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful Indian dishes. It's a place I’ll definitely be returning to!

We just had a drink and snack outside, but both delicious and service excellent. Looking forward to returning for a full meal one day,

Stunning food Best iv eaten in England Gorgeous Loved it So happy Yummy

I booked a table for 15:30 for three people. When I arrived, I requested a thali. I was informed that this finished at 15:00 however, the chef was happy to cook this for us anyway, which was fantastic. Lovely South Indian food. I would definitely recommend this place! Loved our food!! Thank you 😊

We found ourselves at Kal Dosa quite late in the evening after our originally booked restaurant couldn't accommodate a celiac-friendly meal. From the moment we walked in, the staff at Kal Dosa went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and safe. They assured us they would take every precaution to avoid cross-contamination, which immediately put us at ease. As we waited for a table to free up, they thoughtfully accommodated us outside with drinks, and promptly called us in when our table was ready. The menu, though relatively small, is packed with fantastic flavors that made it hard to choose just a few dishes. Every bite was delicious, though we may have overestimated our tolerance for spiciness! But no need to worry—the attentive staff quickly offered a small, refreshing drink that worked wonders in cooling our burning mouths. Overall, our experience at Kal Dosa was fantastic. The combination of great food, attentive service, and genuine care for our dietary needs made it a memorable evening.

What a find! Delicious South Indian food and good value with a lively atmosphere.

Great restaurant - really tasty food and friendly staff. - The waiter even ran after us to give me back sunglasses that i'd left on the table! We will deffinitly be going back!

My family enjoyed every dish that we ordered. The service was great, food was delicious.We definitely going back.

Extremely tasty, authentic food. Nice atmosphere and fast service.

Proper with Indian food...dosas just like they serve in India. Very tasty all round.

Amazing south Indian food, the dosas were huge and so tasty! The mango lassi was fantastic. The service and atmosphere was brilliant. Loved that they are dog friendly too. We will definitely be back!

What a lovely experience we had this evening! The food was absolutely excellent and the service was brilliant! We will definitely be back here.

Absolutely fabulous! Food delicious, staff incredibly helpful and attentive. Atmosphere very calming. We will definitely be back

Superb fresh food and cocktails, excellent service! Cannot recommend this place enough! Will be back!

Been here for dinner but had the lunch today and the Thali blew my mind. Fantastic restaurant with lovely staff.

Excellent food and a lovely friendly place.

Went with friends for lunch - WOW!! The food was insanely good and the service was fantastic. We will be back!

My lamb dish either used a very poor cut of lamb or was beef.

We went on a Friday night without a reservation and managed to grab a table at the bar. Service was well organised and friendly. We had a couple of daiquiris to start - good value at £15 for 2. We then shared a couple of delicious vegan starters. The crispy paratha chaat was dangerously addictive and the cauliflower kempu bezule was wonderfully fragrant with fresh curry leaves. We then had the Mysore Masala Dosa, which was epic, though I could have eaten double the amount of the punchy condiments that came with it. Fab food, reasonable prices, vegan friendly and great atmosphere. Bristol is lucky to have this place!

Nice Indian restaurant options are limited.

The food was good,but it is too expensive when it compare with the other Indian restaurants.

Incredible meal. Everything was so flavourful and all the dishes complimented each other. The roti was stand out. Staff were great and our waitress was very helpful recommending the right amount of plates to share. Can’t wait to return.

Lovely food, friendly waiters, good service. Mango lassi was good and dosa and curry was great. There was a large group of us. I had the fish curry and rice which was lovely.

Best sin in Bristol . Dindikal biryani was brilliant 😋

The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. They were so friendly and accommodating! The food was delicious and a great selection of drinks

Nunca he escrito una crítica mientras todavía en el restaurante antes, pero hemos tenido la noche más maravillosa. He estado cenando en todo el mundo durante 40 años y ahora tengo 2 restaurantes propios en Surrey y esto fue algo especial. Primero la comida, como cualquier cocina india que haya comido. Un menú limitado, pero la mezcla sutil de sabores, muchos platos con coco que es uno de mis favoritos, funcionó perfectamente. A continuación el personal, encantador, educado, atento sin estar en la parte superior y extremadamente servicial. El lugar, gran ambiente, ocupado para un lunes por la noche. Lleno de clientes que claramente se lo pasan tan bien como nosotros. Lamentablemente vivo a 100 millas de distancia y vine para el cumpleaños de nuestra hija, pero esta no será nuestra última visita. Bien hecho una visita obligada en mi libro, si no lo has resuelto ya.

Worst food I ever eaten. I got food poisoning. (Previous Message before reply) Hey benny, this message is regarding your reply for my review, I could not be able to reply your message below, reply option disappear, don't know why.(My Response date and time: 26/05/2024 & 17:05) I ordered biriyani last night via Deliveroo and it came along with gravy and raita. It smelled very bad. I thought it was a problem with gravy and tried biryani a little bit and after some time later I felt stomach pain, stomach upset and fewer in the last night itself. It is not simply blaming you. I would like to inform you guys about the food. I experienced and posted the review with my genuine feedback. It is not such a baseless accusation. Could you please let me know what proof are you looking for. And I have eaten (Ordered via Deliveroo) a lot of times in your restaurant, that time it was okay, with the same expectation I ordered and full disappointment. I would like to inform you about the quality of the food, it is not make you guys down. Regarding that, I have sent an email to the below mentioned email address which you shared, check it And for your information, I have attached the photo copy of the bill. Please have a look. Thanks! Naresh

Chicken dosa is delicious Great atmosphere

Excellent food, staff went above & beyond & very welcoming. We hadn’t booked and were lucky to get a table as very busy on a Weds night & didn’t take long to work out why. Food & service superb & staff still took the time to make a last minute birthday surprise for my husband special.

I went here because I'm gluten free and love Indian food. The waiter was really nice and the food was delicious. I precise that I eat regularly Indian food in different restaurant, and this one is one of my favourite so far. I recommend the red dhal and the eggplant peanut curry. I came back two other times to take some food as takeaway. Thanks.

Absolutely great service ! A special thanks to the hostess yesterday for taking action when my meal was too spicy. Not only was it replaced, but I was offered a complimentary one as compensation for the wait. The food was delicious and the ambiance was vibrant. Would highly recommend !
