Krishna's Inn Restaurant in Bristol, City of

Had a wonderful Biriyani today, nice and spicy. Krishnas Inn always the best Tried a Kerala speciality Kappa and meen Cury with a Mango Martini. Delicious fish curry and a perfect drink for a Sunday Had a sambar Idly just before closing time the dish is mouth watering 😋 I enjoyed my meal.....

Warning: Hidden Charges, Unprofessional Behaviour I ordered a meal through their website for delivery. They accepted the order and charged me, including a £5 delivery fee. Then they called to say I would have to order another meal in addition to my order to get delivery, so I asked for a refund as none of this was stated on their website. They gave me a partial refund but charged me £1.70 for the refund. I emailed asking for the rest of the money, and I've had snarky unprofessional emails in response from this business and have been charged a fee for the privilege to be refunded money for food I did not receive due to errors on their website. Edit: The owners have begun emailing me since I left this review about reputational damage, also now they're saying the meal I ordered was a dine-in only option even though they accepted the order for delivery and charged me a delivery fee. Looking through the reviews, this is not the first time customers have had a bad experience and had childish unprofessional responses from the team, so I expect the same.

Really good friendly service in a great location but the food wasn't all that. I had a vegetable Malabar and I'm sorry to say it had nothing going for it.

Krishna’s Inn came highly recommended by a dear colleague, so we decided to sample it. Unfortunately the food wasn’t very good and had a burnt taste to it. Perhaps it was an off night. Some of the dishes were not fresh…

Good food and great taste Avial is outstanding

The food was very disappointing the dishes Korma and Malabar were very watery and was really just a sauce as there was very little meat or vegetables in either of them. The coconut sauce was tasteless and the paratha was so dense it just wasn't pleasant. All portions were in reduced sized containers which actually didn't matter as most of it went into the food waste bin! Very disappointing.

Nice food and justice for the price

The quality and portion of food is very low compared to the price. Not worth it.

Taste like adipoli but quantity wise it was not upto the price which they kept….. need to improve their portion size

Lovely range of tastes, personal friendly service and lovely calm relaxed atmosphere. I partiularly enjoyed the non vegetable platter. All of the food was fresh and an absolute delight to peruse, eat and enjoy. I will definitely be back.

I just had the Veg Thali, and it was fantastic! Each dish was bursting with flavor, reminiscent of home-cooked meals. The variety in the thali offered a delightful mix of textures and tastes, making it a truly satisfying experience. Finally the owner so kind and servie just amazing. I can't wait to enjoy it again!

The chicken curry was very good, and the chicken 69 also. The staff are very helpful, and they gave us some things to do in the city.

The food is awesome. I tried south Indian veg thali the food is really good. Their hospitality is also very good. 🥰🥰must try

Had a lovely Onam sadhya here with my daughter and partner. The staff were super friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and the atmosphere very relaxed. Loved it!

I was so hungry so could not click pictures. Food was authentic tasted like home Quite atmosphere to enjoy delicious food

อาหารดีในมุมมองคนไทยที่ไม่เคยกินอาหารอินเดีย แต่ว่าอาหารแพงไปหน่อยสำหรับคนไทยอย่างเรา เจ้าของร้านนิสัยดี เขาบอกจะมีมื้อเที่ยงให้ซื้อด้วยและราคาจะถูกกว่า แต่เรายังไม่ได้ลอง

Not great - but not bad enough to complain. Compare the prices with Mowgli - you'll be surprised.

We are from kerala and came with great expectations . Food tastes great here ' gulab jamun is outstanding and particularly thali is good, We had 5 thali all of them are good

Food is really bad and it isn't authentic. We tasted only the oil in the vada. The chutneys were just water and no taste. Worst Sambar I have ever tasted. Waste of money.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. You'll find curries you won't see anywhere else

Gorgeous food, full of flavour and really great service. Great for vegan, vegitarian and gluten-free. Lovely atmosphere.

Too much waiting even to take orders, only one person to serve all customers( nearly 20-25customers).one person to take order, serving food, clear plates, serving at the till. Really disappointed. Wash room in the basement. Really risky to use the stair. No hand wash. Just water in the hand wash bottle

We had a lovely time here for dinner! Really good south Indian food, and great value for money. The idli was super fresh, and the kerela fish curry was so good! Highly recommend for a late night dinner!!

Great food and service when we went for dinner. The wait staff were super friendly and sat us for dinner at 22:15pm! The idli and sambar were so fresh and delicious. We also had the kerela fish curry which was so so good. Tasty food and great value for money! Staff were super friendly and happy to talk to us about the menu and the history of the restaurant. Highly recommend!

I have reviewed before and have decided to change my review following comments by the restaurant. Overall the food was good but not outstanding and the portions particularly the fish dish small. The service was erratic at best due to the fact the staff were listening to a football match on a phone which was very loud and distracting and I had hoped it would not be on in the restaurant. The fact that it is not coming home is more likely that your custom is diminishing rather than my review as you suggest.

Delicious food and amazing service. The best south Indian food I've ever had. Our waiter helped my partner chose something other than butter chicken for a change, very helpful recommendations and just so so tasty.

Lovely quick lunch. The service was very friendly, the food was really tasty and it was great value. I would defiantly come again.

I had masala dhosa and other Indian food. I really like the authentic taste of the food and also the hospitality of the owner….Great experience

Called in for a light lunch. It was delicious and reasonably priced, service was prompt and friendly.

Fantastic food again we had the Appam and kerala mutton curry.... We had lunch from krishnasinn and it's quiet place in bristol•the food price was so affordable and tasty for our tongue great customer service

Fabulous food & friendly staff. Lovely evening.

Absolutely delicious!!! Very fine example of Keralan cuisine. The lamb was just beautiful! No fat, no sinew, just tender chunks of beautiful meat. Attentive, friendly service. We will DEFINITELY be eating here again! Thank you!

I was the only person here and the guy was lovely, the food was exceptionally flavoursome, i had traditional dosa, the freshly squeezed lime juice and gulab jamun. Couldnt fault it.

I ordered fish Thali. I don't know its thali or not😞. It was like "veetil oonu". One fish curry with rice.

One of my favourite restaurants in Bristol… must try their Kerala style mutton curry with parota…

Their kappa and fish curry juz awesome

This is one of the best Indian meals I've eaten in a long time. I'm a fan of southern Indian food and I was really impressed with everything I ate. I started with the dosa malabar masala and had the channa paneer and Dal spinach, the flavours and spices were really well balanced, the prices were really reasonable and the service was great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially veggies - there's lots of choice!!

Best dining experience of my life. The food was incredible, staff very friendly and welcoming and the music was great. Cannot recommend this place enough.

very friendly and attentive staff, a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Would highly recommend a visit to anyone.

The best food in Bristol from Birmingham

The worst decision that I made today was to go there for having sadhya which spoiled my Onam. The sadhya was just below average. Even though the owner told like we serve dishes that are cooked on that exact time as per the customer’s order, I don’t know why each and every item that I got today was cold and none was at least heated up. The dish that I liked was just the semiya payasam since I don’t like if the payasam is too sweet. The payasam was ok though it was not the best one. The fish fry was also ok, but could add some more salt.I could bear all these things. But once I got the bill I went blank. It was a total of £99.80. Which was not at all fair. I had to spend my single day’s payment on something that doesn’t even deserve it. The mistake that I did today was that even though I read all the negative reviews I chose Krishna’s Inn for having the sadhya. Not at all satisfied! If you are running a business, try to do it in a fair way. Please don’t give any silly explanations like the way you have given to some of your other customers who have given you negative reviews.You people are Utter flop! Disastrous! I will never ever come again there and We are not gonna allow any of our friends to come there not even for once!

Excellent food taste , breakfast is amazing Love to be here

Such nice cuisine. I loved the dosa and mutton curry. I think this will have to be a regular!

Oh dear....seems like takeaway version isn't in keeping with the restaurant experience, tesco microwave curry would be better, yes...that bad...sorry 2 say but its true.

I went years ago and it was great. This time understaffed, salty food, almost empty (No surprise there) I think the guy serving did his best and was very polite, but for the money it was awful. Cosmo would have been cheaper and better I think.

One good Indian Restaurant in Bristol! Must try place! Their ambience is very peaceful, service is very welcoming, and the food is very yummy!

Extremely helpful and considerate staff; we had a large party and they booked us in flexibly, and then specially prepared food fast for the two people who had to leave early. Food was very nice and authentic, and relatively cheap. Lunchtime Thali available, a set meal with multiple curries and accompaniments plus starter and pudding for incredible value.

Had a lovely evening eating and chatting to the staff at Krishna's inn. Very authentic food and excellent recommendations! Will be coming again and recommending to friends.

delicious idli and thali, highly recommended

If you like to try an authentic Indian food, this is the place to look for in Bristol. I really loved the Pilav rice with chicken curry…there is also a variety of tasty and delicious Indian cuisines you can try from the menu which are absolutely a delight to the palate

Had an exceptional culinary experience, especially with their masala dosa and thali meals. The masala dosa is perfectly crispy on the outside, filled with a flavorful potato masala, and served with a variety of chutneys. The thali meals are a delightful assortment of authentic Indian dishes, each bursting with distinct tastes and aromas. The presentation is commendable, and the staff's hospitality adds to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a genuine taste of Indian cuisine.

I ordered a chicken biriyani after confirming whether it’s kerala style… the person in the reception informed me it’s Kerala style and chef is from Kerala. But the biryani was pathetic, even I didn’t get any aroma of biriyani spices and the rice was too dry like a fried rice…. Sorry to say … biriyani here sucks….

Had our lunch here, really great service and really nice atmosphere to have a family time.

Really good service and tasty food

My dining experience at the restaurant was extremely disappointing. The biryani I ordered was of very poor quality - it was overly greasy, lacked flavor, and had an unpleasant texture. Furthermore, the portion size was incredibly small, leaving me feeling hungry and unsatisfied. To add to the disappointment, the service was subpar, with slow and inattentive staff. Overall, it was a very unsatisfactory dining experience that I would not recommend to anyone.

Very friendly & welcoming. Lovely food, great vegetarian & vegan options. Excellent value for money.

Great customer service with good food always a good place to go to for

Fantastic food egg rice and chicken 65 was my favourite. The staff also quite keen to help nice Indian music, thanks Krishnas Inn Great food taste better and I like to visit again

Terrible Experience here..poor costumer service..and the food was not even edible..

Worst experience ever . Food taste below average and the dosa had hair in it . Wasted one hour waiting for food and it was terrible.

Amazing food. Great service. So good. Had a really tasty mutton curry and enjoyed it a lot. Good veggie options for my husband.

Food was delicious with nice ambience. Liked every bit of it. Staff were very courteous and served us with utmost delight

Good food and customer service. Staffs are very friendly and polite and suggested the popular food and answered all the queries.

Very nice little eatery. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was excellent! Would highly recommend

The worst dining experience we ever had in the UK. Went to have lunch with family on new year day, fish curry thali, kappa and fish curry were ordered. It took ages to get served and the food was just terrible to taste. People who want to taste authentic kerala food please avoid this one. It was our new year day spoiler🙄.

Please avoid. Food arrived 50 mins later. Shockingly with no salt. None of our ordered food tasted good. Even the pickle had so much water in it.

One of the best place for having authentic South Indian cuisine in Bristol. Ambiance is nice and people are really friendly, will surely visit again.

Came here for our end of year meal: it was great, they made it super easy to organise, very relaxed and flexible. The meal itself was excellent, very tasty, good quality food, great value. The service was perfect, friendly and informative. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely evening here! The staff were really engaged and informative when it came to meal choice. They really went out of their way to cater for allergies too. Thank you so much for a lovely evening!

Lovely dinner! Food was incredible and they catered very well to a friend with some picky dietary requirements. Definitely coming again

Brilliant food, fantastic service. Brilliant for vegetarians and for those with dietary requirements

What a fantastic meal! I thoroughly enjoyed.That was a delicious meal. Authentic recipes. Ambience was too good and calm. Now this is going to be my go tp place

The best restaurant in the Clifton triangle. I must return soon.

What a fantastic meal! I thoroughly enjoyed.That was a delicious meal. Authentic recipes. Ambience was too good and calm. Now this is going to be my go tp place

Delightful food over the weekend. Takes a bit of acquired taste and joy to try new cuisines if not accustomed to local Kerala food. Will visit again.

Came with my sister and her husband, it was so lovely, they were so friendly and the food was really good. Reminded me of home :)

Great food, really friendly and helpful server. A little taste of home. Definitely one of my favourite places in Bristol.

Food is really delicious here, I get all taste of the flavors of India 😋

Excellent service. chicken Biriyani was very tasty.

Went here for a quick lunch and thought "it's on the triangle, how good can it be?" Turns out it can be amazing! Freshly prepared, with great flavours and amazing spices. I don't think I've ever had a biryani before and I think it's my new favourite dish. Another thing I loved was the lime pickle. In so many restaurants it's basically some Pataks that's been spooned into a serving dish. This was properly made and tasted like an actual lime pickle should taste. If you want great tasting Keralan food, you have to try this place!

This spot is great for fine dine in for kerala people . I had kerala porotta , vada and masala dosa and that was much grater than my expectation and the service ( Anil chettan) was also very communicative and comfortable . I wish come again…..

I have enjoyed a very delicious Masala Dosa and a cup of Indian Masala Chai in Krishna Inn. More importantly, a young man, Nikhil Reddy, who has passionately served me, he’s absolutely excellent in his services. I do recommend to eat in Krishna Inn to get the authentic foods of the God’s own country, Kerala, India.

Pretty good. Food is reasonable and service was excellent. The taste is too authentic and couldn't find any alternative match at this price.

We had lunch from Krishna's in and it's a quiet place in Bristol city. The food price was so affordable and tasty for our tongue. We felt a bit of a delay in the serving of food. Except everything was perfect and ok

We had Chicken soup, Chicken Fry and Meat Dosa. Taste was good.

Very good value for money for students - lunchbox (£4) for tasty curry

Excellent food at very reasonable prices, friendly and attentive staff Definitely coming back for seconds!

I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service.

The food here is absolutely sublime. Best South Indian food I've ever eaten. Amazing balance of flavours. Had the Sambar Vada and Pepper Chicken curry with Pilau rice. I can't believe it's not packed on a Friday. Is this Bristols best kept secret, probably. Amazing!!!!!

Atmosphere was good. But food experience was pathetic. Poor quality masala served for masala dosa. We waited for ordered items for more than 40 mins. Total experience was bad.

Feels nice coming back here Got here after long time , feels really good to be back to one of my fav restaurants Really enjoyed eating here Third day in a row at Krishnas, I have just been to Krishnas again, such wonderful dosa’s and chutney as at home, the music reminds me of my temple visits…As of my experience food was really tasty no complaints about the food and the staff are really friendly and have a good knowledge of the menu , i would recommend to have Avial and eruserry , bringing kerala food to bristol thank you for that. wonderful dosas and they are consistently good Thank you krishnas-inn for allowing us to have dosas in bristol

Its the worst restaurant service i have seen till date Today i just went to have a nice dinner there with my friend and when i entered the restaurant was empty there where 3 guys inside i dont even know if they where the owners of restaurant or they where customers no one bothered to ask how can i help or any booking after few minutes waiting there i left. After a long day you plan to go have a nice meal and this is what you get.

Small portions, not recommended if you're human

Food was tasty 🤤 I loved idly and sambar specially utthapam

Terrible terrible Food! If you’re Indian and are looking for authentic South Indian food this is not the place. We ordered a variety of things vada, parrota, chicken curry, chenna, dosa ect ect everything was terrible, tasted so bland! No salt, no flavouring, the food tasted frozen and reheated, don’t be deceived by the good reviews on here! Must avoid we wasted our money!

Fabulous Kerulan/South Indian food prepared and served with care and expertise. My whole family thought it was delicious!

Just had the most delicious meal here. They are passionate about their food and really informative about South Indian food and how they source their ingredients. Will definitely visit again in the future.
