Raj Bari in Bristol, City of

We had Tandoori Chicken and King Prawn Dansak here recently. It was authentically spiced with a complex flavour. I would eat here again.

Probably one of the best curry’s I’ve had for ages! We booked a late table 10.15 but the service was great, when the curry arrived we were blown away !!!!!! The lamb saag was so tender and the chicken bhuna cooked to perfection. Honestly don’t hesitate to go here it’s exactly how curry should be. Well done guys absolutely fantastic!!!

Lovely curry, as usual ate far too much

Best and nicest service ever! Thank you.

Recomiendo encarecidamente el Raj Bari. Comida casera consistentemente deliciosa cada vez. El personal también te cuida muy bien.

Authentic food. Restaurant spotless and welcoming. Staff friendly and helpful 👌. A definite must to visit. We were made to feel welcome and the food was amazing. So good we had to go back two days later. 🥰

Excelente comida! No puedo culparlos. Debo haber pedido al menos 30 + comida para llevar en los 2 - 3 años que he estado viviendo en Bristol y la comida ha sido consistentemente de alta calidad y delicioso cada vez. Cuando me mudé a Bristol probé muchos indios diferentes hasta que encontré esta joya absoluta y ahora esta es la única comida india que comeré. Vale la pena el precio y los chefs hay gente tan profesional y genuinamente agradable. Recomiendo encarecidamente su Bombay aloo y su chile de mantequilla de pollo tikka en particular, ¡tan sabroso! Por mucho, la mejor comida india que he probado y honestamente si no estoy en Bristol y probar otro lugar, nada se compara, ha arruinado todos los demás lugares de curry indio, es tan bueno!

Recientemente cené en Raj Bari, fue increíble! El ambiente era acogedor, el servicio era fantástico, y la comida tenía todos los sabores auténticos. El propietario era increíblemente servicial, ofreciendo excelentes recomendaciones de menú que hicieron nuestra comida aún mejor. El tikka de cordero estaba perfectamente especiado y tierno, mientras que el panel de saag era rico y delicioso. Raj Bari es una visita obligada para cualquiera que ame la cocina india! Muy recomendable! Gracias Claire.

great restaurant, really nice food with a lovely atmosphere

Amazing food, great service… been coming to Raj Bari, Hotwells for around 15 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks. Sam

Enjoyed everything was good the service was really good.

We have just had one of the most lovely meals this evening. Tnx

I enjoyed the food and the service was great.

I ordered Madu Paneer which is supposed to be fairly hot and sweet. It was very mild without a hint of any chilli. The other dish which was prawn Bhuna was the same. The food tasted nice but it wasn't what I ordered. I even asked to make the Madu Paneer hot in the order notes. I called afterwards to give this feedback and the guy just said they were busy. He didn't even offer anything, for example he could have offered a free curry for next time and give me eventually what I asked for, since neither curry was what it should have been. He even claimed the Madu is usually mild which is not what it says on the menu at all. I spent £40 on a meal for two people. I'm disappointed as now they weren't even that sorry or bothered about losing two local customers when they could have just offered something for the next time. Shame...

The food was very good the service was good , I'm from Yorkshire so the drinks were expensive I would definitely recommend but I didn't like the 10 percent service charge.

After seeing this place win an award on Facebook we visited for the. First time and wow the staff is amazing and the food is outstanding full of flavour even busy on a Tuesday night we will definitely be back served by anis What a great guy

Tried Raj Bari for the 1st time after recommendation from a friend....absolutely beautiful food 😋 perfectly cooked extremely friendly staff and my husband even asked my to ring and tell them it's the best curry he's eaten in 15 years in Bristol .....we shall be ordering again very soon Julie & Martin Lewis

Excelant service and food. All good

Fantastic staff, delicious food - can highly recommend!

Delicious food! Lovely staff, especially loved the salmon tikka, give it a try, you might be surprised!

Lovely food as per usual. The staff are very friendly and create a great atmosphere and dining experience. Would recommend to all.

I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We had a lovely meal last night for my mothers birthday. Food was delicious and staff were lovely. They brought out a birthday cake and sang for my mother, and even offered her a free drink at the end. Parking, additionally, was free and right outside the restaurant. We will be back!

We have just had one of the most lovely meals this evening. We have eaten in many Indian restaurants and this is one of the absolute best. The food is out of this world and the service was outstanding. Thank you so much for a great evening

Increíble restaurante indio! Reserva a mitad de semana. Personal muy amable y acogedor, deliciosos entrantes, especialmente el puri de gambas, y los currys eran encantadores. Muy fresco. Jalfrezi era muy tierno.

Outstanding dinner with friends and family. Food was delicious. Service excellent.

Food is amazing compliments to chef. I normally eat chicken but was persuaded by Anis to try lamb madras so glad I did it just melts into your mouth sooooo yummy. Lovely atmosphere and brilliant service. You’re the man Anis.

I’m used to having dinner over the years. All the dishes are very delicious and mouthwatering. The Staff and atmosphere are really enjoyable.

Pollo de mantequilla fría era absolutamente increíble! Ideal para familias o citas nocturnas. Vine con mis hijos y nietos. Gran servicio. Personal encantador. He estado aquí dos veces en 2 semanas.

Great place! I would highly recommend it!

Excelente comida y ambiente con una muy buena especialidad y platos regionales. Personal muy bueno. Vale la pena visitarlo...

He estado viniendo al Raj Bari desde hace varios años y nunca deja de decepcionar. Personal muy amable y comida absolutamente deliciosa. Muy recomendable.

Walked past, smelt divine, table for 2 available. Outstanding service, flavoursome food. Will definitely eat here again

Buena comida y personal amable, recomendaría, dice al menos 100 caracteres por lo que diremos OTIB, rovers para siempre por debajo🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Went with some pals from football. Best curry in Bristol. A cut above the rest in my opinion. Chicken Dhansak and Lamb pasanda especially. The manager Anis is also a top bloke and makes you feel very welcome. Visit this place if you appreciate curry with a touch of class.

Excellent food and service highly recommend 😊

Born and bred in Bristol. Been to an awful lot of Curry houses in my time. Went back to my absolute favourite tonight - RAJ BARI on Hotwell Road. Fantastic hospitality. Superb food. Hot and snappy Poppdoms, light and fluffy Onion Bhaji, beautiful tender lamb Dansak (lamb 'fall-apart tender - spicy, seet and tasty) and glorious Mushroom rice. A little bit full. A lot satisfied. Thanks Anis. See you again soon. Carl.

Enjoyed this. Service was really good. Small restaurant with a good atmosphere. Food was lovely, ordered too much , but was able to bring the leftovers home.

My name is Emmeline Horton I am 8 years old and the best curry I’ve ever had. And the man said “l can have a job there” when I’m older.

One of the best lamb dhansaks ever!!! And I had my first ones in Birmingham in the 70s at The Curry King. This curry had the perfect balance of sweet and sour plus just the right amount of spice! Lovely - will definitely be back. Thanks guys!

Amazing food, staff and service. This was our second visit and it was as good as the first; we will be revisiting soon. Highly recommend this place 👍🏻

A fantastic classic Indian restaurant with service with a smile! Highly recommended. Try the new platter!

First time I have been and was not disappointed.

amazing food was delicious and a real indian experience ! amazing service so lovely and polite felt so welcome and a good price! (was lovely to be served by a proper yorkshire lad 😁)

Honestly the best food I've had wouldn't recommend to anyone who likes it spicy or not so much just ask the waiters and they'll recommend what's just for you. Great service and the waiters are absolutely amazing so please have a try.

Average curry, even worse service. The restaurant was empty and the food took ages and the manager was not friendly

Third visit to Raj Bari, this time with 10 of us. Always great food and great service, and very good value for money, great curry house

We popped in after watching a rugby game at Ashton Gate. Staff were all very friendly. Drinks and popadums and starters all came very quickly. Food was all delicious.

The food was so full of flavours and absolutely delicious, I highly recommend checking this hidden gem out and also very good service, I will be back again.

Amazing food some of the best food i tried and service was incredible, they really took care of us and made the whole experience amazing. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

Amazing food, staff and restaurant overall! Could not recommend any better indians in Bristol! 11/10

Definitely a 5-star experience at The Raj Bari. The 2 of us visited this evening for dinner & were blown-away by the new menu choices. There was absolutely nothing wrong with their old menu but the new one made it a much harder choice to make! The paneer shashlik was so tasty & delicious & the lamb chilli balti was so tasty & full of flavour. Great fluffy fresh plain naan bread too. The starters were plentiful & there was a great choice. The drinks & service were both great. Very attentive & helpful waiters. Great parking options outside. The perfect evening out. Well worth a visit - you won’t be disappointed!

A great find. Small restaurant slightly out of town but it's a hidden gem. Beautiful, rich curries with amazing flavours. If you fancy a damn good curry when you're in Bristol. Look no further. Yep. I'm impressed.

14th feb 2024....our first visit and oh what a place...didnt expect the.place to look so small and unassuming....inside is just so tasteful. So, to the food and service..both equally second to none....we.got over excited and probably ordered enough food for 4..just because there was so much to choose from ....exquisite.....we didnt finish it but it was all.packed up for.us to take home 😋......so for THE most amazing,value for money,customer service and atmosphere....this is the place to go ...thank.you all at Rajbari

Fantastic curry. Attentive service. Will be back for sure. Maybe the best local curry house.

I’ve been coming to the Raj for over 20 years and my parents since it opened in the 90s, always exceptional service and great food. Would recommend it to anyone

Good vibes and great portion size. Would recommend, the staff were very welcoming.

Large group visited after the the Bristol City game Saturday. Outstanding service from friendly staff and food was superb. Will definitely be back.

we celebrated a 30th birthday as a large group booking. the staff were so accommodating and even offered the birthday boy a drink on the house! the food was absolutely gorgeous and so authentic. would highly recommend!

Lamb Dhansak hotter that expected.

Been coming to the Raj Bari for 10 years and it never disappoints. Delicious food and kind friendly professional staff. Highly recommend

Dined here on Sunday evening, it was a little quiet but what it lacked in atmosphere it certainly made up for with service and food, the onion bhaji was crispy and light, the breads were fluffy and flavoursome, and the lamb sag was so tender and perfectly spiced, everything we ordered between the 3 of us comes out pipping hot and really tasty, we will definitely return it's a little away from the regular route around the docks, but worth the detour

A long walk from the centre of Bristol, and worth every step I can assure you! We had an Excellent Curry, was welcomed with friendly service and less than 30mins til closing time! Have added this place to my top 3 Indian Restaurants in the UK, and yes I've been to many! The Mixed Grill was perfection.

Food is awesome and customer service is great. We liked the food a lot, everything was perfect. Thank you so much for wonderful service.😊😊👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏽🙏🏽

I live in Miami Florida and grew up in Bristol and this restaurant is the Best Indian I have ever been too, the most delicious food and incredibly friendly staff, amazing experience and vybe, if you want a amazing Indian, you have to go to this Restaurant, 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ate here last Friday night. Table for 4 people. Lovely comfortable surroundings, nice ambience too. Given plenty of time to order, massive choice on the menu. Everything was amazing, starters, mains and sides (mushroom bhaji especially). Possibly the nicest curry I've ever had (we all said the same). Can't wait to return. Well done to the team for the whole experience!

Nice food and service. I touch more expensive than some others locally but a good atmosphere makes it.

Best Indian Restaraunt in Bristol

Fabulous experience. Literally everything is perfect: welcoming staff, lovely environment, delicious meals. Definitely worth to visit! Highly recommend

The best curry house in Bristol. Simply excellent

Had food here last night with my wife and daughter, and I must say it was absolutely amazing, each dish was cooked perfectly and so many different flavours, The staff were brilliant from start to finish, I’ve booked to go back in 2 days with my mates Thank you guys

Food was extremely yummy and staff are incredibly helpful. Will defo be going again.

スパイシーで大変おいしかった　お店のかたたちもフレンドリーで気持よく過ごせました

Service très très long. Cuisine moyenne. Commande incomplète.

Visited for my partners birthday. We arrived slightly early which wasn't an issue for the staff. Staff were very friendly, food was delicious, came out hot and tastied fresh. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again. Pictured is a plain naan, mushroom rice, prawn bhuna & lamb jalfrezi

Wonderful Indian food and very reasonably priced. The service was also excellent.

Unpleasant experience with food that lacked spiciness. Ordered the chicken bhuna, chicken biryani and aloo gobi. Food was aromatic and flavourful but with a complete lack of spiciness even though their menu said “medium”. Checked with the servers, who said it was supposed to be “mild” and “the British would find that spicy”. They offered green chillis to ensure that I “feel satisfied”, and charged £1 for a few whole chillis. What made the experience worse was a server who asked a lot of personal questions which I found intrusive. He also assumed that food from my hometown were spicy, which the fact was the contrary. Of note, they charged £6.3 for two papadoms and a condiment tray. While many Indian restaurants I have been to in this country offered them for free, at Raj Bari they were even more expensive than most of their starter options. Maybe it was a meal that “The British” would enjoy, but for me it was certainly unpleasant.

Ausgezeichnetes Essen in schöner Atmosphäre. Die Gewürze sind fein abgestimmt und nicht aufdringlich. Der Service ist sehr zuvorkommend. Für Vegetarier geeignet. Wir kommen wieder.

Really excellent food and service. I would highly recommend the restaurant.

Brilliant restaurant. Great service, great food, good pricing. A recommended visit

Phenomenal food and such a good value. Thank you!

Awesome Indian cuisine reminds me if the food cooked by mum back in India highly recommended 👌

The food is so yummy most definitely recommend

Went to our very favourite Indian restaurant tonight for our wedding anniversary. The food was amazing, as were the staff. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and the staff reserved a table with easy access for my powerchair. Thank you Raj Bari for a lovely evening. I would rate you 10 stars if I could! Angel & Gary

I went last night with my family. I stated clearly at order point Allergic to Lemon an coconut the waiter wrote it down and repeated it back to me to clarify. To my horror my curry came out with slice of lemon on top of it!!! When i pointed this out the waiter he laughed, then his superior came and asked if there was issue, explained allergic to lemon to which he found it funny too!!! Our meal cost £79 for 3 of us, I could of gone into anaphylaxis or worse case died and they found this funny! Clearly will not go back again as being allergic to something is serious matter, please staff an apology would been nice! To top it off out came the lemon hot wet wipe after meal!

We went there with friends of ours food was amazing didn't take long to serve you and it was our first time we went there I would definitely recommend this place if you like your curry🙂🙂

A very friendly warm welcome and very good service from the start. The food was excellent and the suggestions of types of dish was good. We really enjoyed the whole evening and would definately go back. Highly Recommend.

This was the second time my girlfriend and I visited the restaurant together. The food and service were exceptional, with some great vegetarian options for myself.Charly had a chicken madras with a plain Naan and I had the butter chilli paneer with mushroom rice and a paratha - and we had a portion of chips between us.My butter chilli paneer was a perfect balance of hot and sweet, the paratha was perfect for dipping in the curry sauce and the mushroom rice was one of the best I've had, with wafer thin pieces of caramelised onion to accompany the mushrooms and Charlys Naan was beautifully crisp and fluffy.The waiting staff were lovely guys and even gave Charly a rose at the end of our visit.We will definitely be back again.

Exceptional tasting curry rice so buttery and naan crispy and soft Chilli chicken Bhuna and chicken matpuri a must try! great choice of wine and beer Great service we will be back Daniela and Paul the @curriedcouple

We went tonight for my 60th birthday. The meal and staff were amazing. Staff very polite and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. They found us a table with easy access for my power-chair. Thank you so much for a lovely evening 😍

Tremendous Karahi well spiced and cooked to perfection. Prawn Dhansak has a great sauce. Nice atmosphere in a pleasant location by the harbour side, great for couples , will definitely come back

The food and the service was amazing and faultless, I would definitely recommend this restaurant whether your going as a group of friends, as a family or as a couple. The food was exquisite and the service was fast and friendly, I will definitely be going again with my friends.

Really nice Indian restaurant, went for my friends birthday and it had a lovely chilled, welcoming atmosphere, and nice interior, the curries we had were some of the best I’ve had and would definitely go again, the staff were attentive and friendly.

Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful.Returned after a very poor experience in December 21, hoping that the service would have improved. Sadly not. Staff were inattentive, had to badger the manager to order our main course, waited a further 70 minutes and had to badger again,. Deciding to leave, were asked by the manager if we had booked a table, implying that those that hadn’t (he had taken us to our table!), were last to be served! Incredibly poor customer service. The business is shockingly managed.

Went to this restaurant, to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, the hospitality was 5 stars the food was amazing, the best I’ve tasted in years, the atmosphere was really good , staff where very helpful, I would recommend anyone looking for good food , try this place

Stopped off on the off chance late on a Saturday evening with 3 friends, was given a table by friendly staff, served a choice of kingfisher or Cobra, went for both (both great) and was then served with probably the best Chicken Dansak I’ve ever had. Great food, great service, great value for money, highly recommend.

My husband and I dined here last night, we are down from Leamington Spa for a long weekend. We have enjoy Asian food in many of Restraunts all over the world and I can honestly say this was one of the very best we have tasted. The quality of the dishes & the delicate spices & flavours were exceptional. The staff were an absolute joy, professional & yet friendly & chatty too, they couldn't do enough for us. We would recommend this Restraunt to anyone who loves this type of food but wants to enjoy an exceptional authentic & rather special meal.

I am from London but working in Bristol.Nutmeg in Clifton is good, as is Urban Tandoor if you actually go there but if you order online beware as Urban Tandoor have a fake kitchen for Delivery which is nothing like eating there.So onto Raj Bari, i have not been there but will make sure i do. I have however had takeaways delivered from all over Bristol and Raj Bari is the best.The food is excellent and i always call them when ordering and they are friendly, professional and efficient to the extreme.This is a very good business with people who really care. I do not write reviews but i do when i feel i need to and this is one of them.The food is excellent. Simple as that. This is from someone who loves curry and has travelled all over the UK and Europe.Support these guys and give them a try, you absolutely will not be disappointed

I don't often get a mild curry, but this one was deliscious. As was everyone of our groups. Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Could not recommend high enough!

Lovely food, interesting menu, nice service. Go. The food was lovely, interesting, complex tastes,,wanted the recipe!

My Family and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening, it was fairly busy , the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, The service was good and the food was superb. I would highly recommend this restaurant
