Rana's Dhaba in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

After we were charged for our food we were told there is no omelette with the paratha. When paratha arrived 10-15 min later it was still frozen in places.The chicken curry had no colour or spices tasteless. I ordered a large cup of tea I was given a regular. There was no professionalism from the ladies cooking and serving us.

Rice can be hit and miss, but the other stuff i’ve tried has been spot on. Don’t get the chilli sauce if you aren’t a lover of coriander.

Such a lovely woman, incredibly friendly and food is superr tasty ! Great portions too

The lady is quite slow. She doesn't pay attention very well.

I am sorry but food taste is pathetic .

Don't fall for the Chicken Biryani guys. It's just a Masala rice served with a chicken curry. And the quantity is just not enough for a 10 years old kid as well.

Quality delined. Not tasty at all

Absolutely FANTASTIC chips. I have had a fair bit of "chip experience" and I can honestly tell you these are by far the best I have ever tasted. Absolutely 100% recommend Rana's Dhaba!

Amazing food and hospitality. Enjoyed the food thoroughly and specially the desi chai (Tea).

Best chicken wrap ever!! Amazing street food and great amount and quality at such a low price!! Everyone working there is extremely good and kind

So delicious every time, lovely people

Stopped of late last night just as they were closing and grabbed a couple of samosa - they were the best I’ve tasted since travelling by train in India! The staff were absolutely lovely too. I definitely recommend and I will certainly go back to try more on the menu. Dhanyavaad Didi !

It's my favourite chicken biryani/ curry in bristol. The samosas and deep fried chillies are absolutely delicious. I recommend ❤️

Delicious food. They are very helpful personally.

The chickpea curry and rice was so delicious! I've walked past 100s of times and finally tried - and will go back again and again! Lovely friendly service and I imagine in the sun, a lovely spot to sit in. Highly recommend!

Good Indian Taste. I tried Samosa and Veg Pakoda, the taste was good and the service was amazing. I tried Indian chai too, if you are a tea lover, do try it. Best chutney ever with samosa.

Great food. Good service. Authentic taste.A bit on roadside so it might feel a little more of sitting on the road while eating but nevertheless a good spot for Indian food

The pani puri was excellent . Chole bhature was so good that I travelled from Swansea just for them . Overall everything was delicious and I’ll definitely come back to eat here again.

Lovely food stall, permanent feature in Bristol town centre. We've got a sweet spot for this place, thanks to some good memories.. but their food is seriously good!! It's exactly what you need when hungry and looking for something genuine and different from the usual. Food is available as takeaway or "eat in" to their own foldable tables.

very nice and healthy and hygiene food nice dhaba in Bristol all Indian food are available excellent very nice staf very beautiful Indian dhaba

Ask for chilli sauce with your samosa, you won't be disappointed

This so good amazing food and people loved it love the service have a good time exploring the menu.

AVOID .LOW QUALITY FOOD WHICH HAS NO FLAVOUR AND ITS UNEDIBLE .had tastless biryani and chicken curry it was worst thing I ever had had to bin everything .

Great food with a lot of variety! Rana is sweet and gave us free chai!

My experience here was less than satisfactory. Situated in the center, this small shop offers prepared food heated on request. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Upon arrival, I found the girl at the counter occupied with a phone call, leaving us standing for an unattended 3 minutes. This initial interaction set a negative tone for the experience. Despite the efficient preparation of the Aloo Paratha, which I found excellent, the same cannot be said for the Biriyani. What was presented as Biriyani turned out to be basmati rice accompanied by chicken curry, lacking the essence and flavor one expects from authentic Biriyani. The taste was below average, and based on this experience, I cannot recommend this place for those seeking a genuine Biriyani experience.

I agree with the other reviews - it’s not biryani. But I don’t agree with the other reviews - it doesn’t matter! It tastes great! Exactly what I needed on a winter night. Very nice food, definitely give it a try.

Lovely polite lady serving fresh home-made food. I ordered chicken biryani. It was given in a box - rice filled only half the box & the other half was filled with chicken curry. Because of the curry portion size seemed quite small for 8£, also rice tasted better on its own. They accept both cash & card.

I enjoyed my chole bhature and samosa from here. The food was delicious. The customer service is excellent. The food is not expensive, and the portions are good. This place is better than the other pricey Indian restaurants in Bristol. Definitely worth the visit.

Perfect adrak chai and aloo paratha. And veg samosa is so delicious. It's like blessing for Indians in the middle of Bristol.✅

Best in town really enjoyed my experience.

Very good and very kind people help people make me every time I go there have smile make the day better very good experience I go here every day. Great experience and greet people help me a lot thanks

Very tastiest food available here 😋 I everytime take from here while going to work

Terrible food, they serve chicken curry and pilau rice and call it chicken biryani. Such a small portion for £8.00 and had to wait about 40 minutes. They took money and said they ran out of biryani and when I asked for refund she said she don’t know how to refund because I paid card. And she said she doesn’t have enough cash to refund me either. And then she what she did was that she divided one rice to two portions and gave us food which is microwaved. Honestly you can buy a microwavable biryani in supermarket for better taste, price and portion than here. Terrible food, terrible service.

They served me chicken biryani that was microwaved and wasn’t even authentic at all. They essentially mixed rice and curry. The box wasn’t even full because apparently the pulao rice was over.

Chicken curry was good. Hospitality towards customer needs improvement.

The best samosa you can find in UK❤️

A bit disappointed with the food. There were no gol gappa, so ordered samosa, aloo paratha and channa Bhature. All of them were very bland and they charged us more than what the prices showed. The place is full of trash and can’t eat there if it rains as there is no roof. Would not recommend and would not visit again.

I ate chicken biryani taste was ok ok and prices are to high

Had the goat curry which was superb, picture not great, but there was plenty of curry. The wee salad was lovely too, with a spicy sauce. Very reasonable, nice staff and really tasty.

Giving 1 star is too much for this kinda food. I ordered for chicken biryani and what I received was Chicken Gravy and rice. You cannot be disrespecting biryani like this. Another thing, it was hell spicy that it became painful for me to eat it even. I wouldn’t suggest this restaurant to anyone because it is not what it looks like. Hopefully the restaurant takes the review positivity and make changes in their food.

Incredible food, fast service, great prices. Especially the delicious house-made chilli sauce and the onion bhaji. Easy to overlook, but impossible to pass once you try the food. City-centre ambiance, but there are nice parks nearby if you takeaway.

It’s was amazing nice people nice food and clean place

Ate here after on way home waiting for a taxi after rail strikes. Great food. Had Chickpea (Chhola Bhatura) and Dahl with Rice, Vegetable Samosa and Pakoras. Even charged my phone for me and helped me find a good taxi company. Highly recommended.

Bakwas chai. Slow preparation.. rude behaviour

It was very nice almost you feel Indian taste, I had goat curry with rice that awesome, with reasonable price good quantity and most I love. Veg samosa that was fantastic overall good for Asians who miss the Indian taste 👅

I ordered a kebab wrap with onions The food was cooked and the onion was slightly sweet and crisp but the kebab meat felt like chewing on a leather shoe it was dry and offensive to the taste buds also the wrap fell apart before I even opened it and was too over sauced, I should add they offered halal options as well but it lacked anything special and the main woman was very disinterested in her restaurant it seemed that she was constantly talking and zoning out if I were to recommend a place to eat with a friend in Bristol rana Dahba would not be anywhere on that list there is much better food but if you’re low on money and just want some okay food then I would partially recommend this place.

Excellent Quantity boneless chicken in Chicken biryani.. Very filling worth the price! Taste - Quite good! North Indian Spicy Basic presentation but good food!

Great food, served hot and at a price that won't break the bank. The samosa are huge, so bare that in mind!

Terrible food with terrible service

Very good food at a very reasonable price. Mixed up my chai tea with a normal tea but it was busy and I wasn't too fussed

Worst quality , not safe place to eat

Great goat curry and fish curry!

I had there fish thing and chicken wrap. Fish was OK, not my favourite but wrap was great, very nice and tasty. Good food.

Highly disappointed and over-priced

U.K mein sabse acha indian food shop amazing experience

I had goat curry and rice, which was tasty and good value.

The best street food you will find in bristol

Great food good price, gurt lush

Located in a premium place. Good atmosphere. Some dishes are really good, but some other are just average.

Food was tasty and service was good😋 Worth a try💯

Not bad. Samosa was good. Worth and good.

A wide range of authentic indian food and tea (including masala chai) at reasonable prices

0 for customer service and they’re extremely stingy about sauce, napkins and boxes. But lucky for me I found a better, cheaper and more hygienic alternative- Jew an sweets. So now never going back here only to be treated like we’re forcing them to feed us for free.

Great customer service the person that was in the shop was so nice and friendly and asked me in detail for my order to get it perfect. The warp was definitely worth waiting for would of preferred more of that delicious sauce.

Worst place. The food was nothing as described, bad quality and many items were missing.

Took egg rice...which is too pricey compared to quality and portion.

Always delicious food, friendly service and good prices. Thank you!!

Food was okay but not much chicken in there

the lady is super fun and smily, the food is great and tasty

Very pleasant and efficient staff. Good food

Small food stall. Indian Street food mainly. Reasonable price. Long wait to get the order. I had fish and chips. There was hardly any fish under the crispy batter! Overall, not a bad place for a quick snack. Halal sign was there at the stall.

Very bad service!!! We had our lunch here about a year ago and the lady who served us was so good but today we had a worse service ever we had anywhere. We waited for food for hour and half. Simple food like wrap and chips shouldn't take more than 20 30 mins but we waited for about 1 hour 30 mins. I had little children waiting in cold rain. After getting our last item they didn't even apologised. Worse service and foods quality has decreased since last time. Never coming back and never recommend. Doesn't even deserve 1 star.

Best lunch I’ve had in a long time! Amazingly rich tarka daal with fluffy rice and bursts of fresh coriander and cumin seed. Also had a veg samosa: wonderfully sweet and rich filling with that satisfying background richness you get from the deep-fry. Don’t go to Tesco Express: spend your lunch money here instead.

It’s so huge with plenty lamb. Brilliant taste if you like lamb. Kebab is nice too

The food was hot, fresh, delicious and authentic! If you're looking for proper Indian homecooked food, this is the place. Only thing that hurt was the lady was bit curt to me, though I respectfully spoke in hindi with her; but she was sweet to the British :/

£7 for plain boiled rice and a meager portion of non descript yellow slop.

Very nice food, brilliant service. It's almost impossible not walk by and not get something it smells so good.

I paid the lady £10 for pakora (the value was £3)and she gave me £2 for exchange, she said that I paid her £5, be careful, the lady likes to cheat...

Overpriced wrt quality and offerings

Nearly didn't come here because of the few bad reviews but oh my I'm happy we did!!!! Food was amazingly well priced and delicious (highly recommend the samosas). Nicely spiced rice- all round delicious.

Everything it's very nice especially when I get serve by ( mama ) she's very good lady , the man to and the kids.

Thank you!! Best veggie samosa in a long time - thank you for going above and beyond. Great veggie options all round 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome good-spicy egg roll and an egg wrap, and lovely ladies serving me. Great prices, affordable food in the centre is always a banger 😁

Great food with original taste from India. Must try Tea and Pakora.

Really nice service and taste of the food. By the auntie Everything is very perfect 😊

This was the best veg samosa I’ve ever eaten

I had Indian samosa and tea and I can bet this was the perfect samosas.

Take any Indian dish from here, it gives taste of home made. Recommended to visit once and try by own

Brilliant taste😋, friendly staff🤩👍.

Lovely service, big samosa, great masala tea

The location is very close to primark,haymarket..food is good quality and cheaper prices.if you go for shopping near city center and want to grab some indian food this is good choice.vegan options also available.i had rice with dal .quality was good and affordable prices

The absolute best Indian and panasian food in Bristol. We enjoyed it so much we had to go back for seconds! Amazing vegetarian and meat options, the lady who served us was so lovely. Definitely going back again! Shame we don't have room for a third helping :)

Snacks were good , samosa n veg roll. Rice was just about ok

Hospitality and food both are good , specially samosa and chattni too good 😝🤗🙏💐

Being in Bristol and trying to get th3 Indian taste, then this is the perfect place to be. Loved the masala chatni ans almost everything.

I have ordered chole bhature and guess what they surved uncooked cheek peas with thik bread that to even barely cook very unhealthy and unhinged i used to like this place however not worth it at all now a days planty more good options are available in bristol and far better n cheaper thn this.

My experience was the goat curry and rice, the goat was only bones I nearly chocked. The curry was good Overall shīt meat .Never again.

Foood that tastes like home !!!!
