Redland Tandoori in Bristol, City of

Really good food, but absolutely the worst customer service. They kept apologising for how bad it was then went to serve someone else, leaving me just sitting there. My main course arrived in three parts, in between them serving other people, so I was just sat there waiting for an actual complete meal. I asked for the bill FOUR times, it only arrived when I put o my coat and was going to walk out.

Had an unbelievably great time. The waiter was incredibly friendly and recommended the chickpea lamb (which was unbelievable). Great food, great facilities, lovely staff. Really lovely restaurant and would thoroughly recommend! Thanks again for such a brilliant evening.

Redland Tandoori makes my stomach excited, and is a long term threat to my wallet and wardrobe for being small. I’m never going anywhere else in Bristol. The food was lovely, reasonably priced, timely and vibes were immaculate. Fantastic service, Javaid was amazing, sensitive, catered for allergens well, made us laugh and I think we’ve become friends. If you want a good time, good food and to be looked after well this is the place to be. Thanks RT, I think you’re quite special.

Bang on. Unbelievable food and service. Heard a lot of good things about the place and it didn’t disappoint. Will definitely be returning!

Such a lovely experience and delicious food. Super welcoming owner and staff generally. We just wanted to pick up food but ended up having a lovely conversation. The food is absolutely delicious.

Disappointing. Order from here on Uber Eats because of the reviews on here and great menu. We had two different curries, both very watery. We served them onto the plate and the water ran across the plate, the only bonus was that they weren’t greasy. Tasted ok, no real depth of flavour. Garlic rice was ok, not much flavour. Definitely won’t be ordering again.

Ordered a takeaway for me and my wife. Ordered a Lamb Madras, got a chicken dish of some kind, the tarmac dhal was boring and the naans were more like pancakes.

We are experienced travellers but have never had red snapper pakora from the starters menu before, and it did not disappoint. Myself and an Indian colleague ate from the specials menu and he said it tastes like home. The owner is very friendly and chatty. The dining experience was very pleasant.

Delicious food and great staff!

Came here with 10 people on a walk in and got amazing service

BELOW AVERAGE TAKEAWAY The cheap, white UPVC windows on the outside and only one table taken on a Sunday night were not a good first impression. Also no one else in and out for takeaways.Nor the gimmicky fad of pricing everything on their menu using decimal points, so £6.50 appears on the menu as 6.5. Slightly bizarre and confusing. Is it too much trouble to include the old British pound sign and some extra zeros? Anyway, the food. First time I've ever had onion bhajis that didn't include salad from an Indian (or is this a Pakistani now?). Didn't seem right and for a few pence for some lettuce, slice of tomato and cucumber and wedge of lemon seemed a bit mean and made the starter appear a lot smaller and stingy. The bhajis weren't very nice, flat dark things that looked more like burgers than those nice golden, ball-shaped delights that Indian restaurants used to offer. The accompanying mint sauce was a lurid, synthetic green that looked strange. My pilau rice was fine, but the chicken bhuna lacked excitement and when tipped over the rice did something very strange. Although the bhuna seemed to have plenty of sauce when tipped out, when I was eating my meal the sauce seemed to disappear into the rice, leaving the curry a bit dry. I can only think this is because they don't use any ghee in the curry and use veg oil or similar. Did make the curry quite disappointing in both texture and taste. Overall a disappointment, and after sampling the food I now understand why this restaurant in a good location was so quiet.

Super service, great food and lovely vibes.

Very nice food staff members along with manager and owner are very kind and professional.

Our local curry restaurant and we love it both to eat in and for takeaways. It's recently had a refurbishment and is looking very nice. The owner is courteous and hospitable and the food is excellent - I think the owners are from Pakistan so there are some slightly different, delicious flavours. Strongly recommend. V good value.

Best lamb biriyani in bristol and the staff was super friendly and nice

Eleven of us visited yesterday evening for my husband's birthday celebrations. The food was declared by everyone as the best they had had in a long time (and we all go out for curry very regularly). Service was prompt, efficient, friendly and helpful. We were a mix of meat, fish and veggie eaters and all were satisfied. The portions are not enormous, just right, there was very little left. My king prawn dekar was excellent, just a nice bit of heat and lots of flavour with three big prawns. The fish pakora starter was also lovely, squidy batter and nice flaky fish inside. The garlic naans are very garlicky! There's a short wine list, reasonably priced. In fact the whole meal was very good value. We'll definitely visit again next time we're in the area.

Great food when we needed it most! Merry Christmas, we loved the horse paintings

Fantastic food especially fish 🐟 amazing after getting good service and food . I think that Redland tandoori is best indian cuisine in bristol . Yummmy

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Redland Tandoori an authentic Indian restaurant with group of Friends that left a lasting impression. From the moment I stepped in, the warm ambiance and inviting aromas set the stage for an incredible dining experience. The menu showcased a diverse array of dishes representing various regions of India. The flavors were rich, the spices perfectly balanced, and each dish was a delightful journey through Indian culinary traditions. The Chicken Tikka Masala was a highlight – tender chunks of chicken enveloped in a creamy tomato sauce bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff members who were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations. The attention to detail, from the presentation of the dishes to the table settings, added to the overall dining experience. I appreciated the restaurant's commitment to authenticity, using high-quality ingredients that reflected the true essence of Indian cuisine. The naan bread was freshly baked, providing the perfect accompaniment to the flavorful curries and tandoori dishes. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or a newcomer looking to explore its rich tapestry of flavors, Redland Tandoori is a culinary gem that delivers an unforgettable taste of India. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning for another delightful dining experience. See you soon Redland Tandoori.

Probably the worst service and attitude I’ve experienced. We had to ask time after time for someone to take our order whilst the owner/manager sat with his other male servers eating at 8.30 prime time, they seemed completely unconcerned that customers needed serving or that customers generally come first before staff eating. The other staff either couldn’t speak English or take orders, we waited an hour for food, the samosa was stonecold inside, pancake flat onion bhaji crispy outside wet in the centre. Main course finally arrived rice and naan bread sat on the table for 10 mins while we waited for the curries and repeatedly asked 4 times for cutlery. By the time that arrived the rice was cold, the Dansak and Dopiasa looked identical sauce which tasted like it had been made with Heinz tomato soup as the base. The owner/ manager got angry when we got up and helped ourselves to cutlery and started shouting at us. We said we would like to pay for our drinks and leave. He continued to shout at us in front of everyone in the restaurant while we got our coats. Quite possibly the worse service I’ve experienced, no people skills, rude and clearly not interested in customers.

Such a rude manager/owner, an hour wait, we repeatedly asked to order food and get cutlery, resulted in us being shouted at by the host. Diabolical, no respect for customers he sat eating next to us while we waited and waited for service, when we complained he said we should be grateful as he gave us a bigger table… Awful food, rude staff, I don’t waste your money when there are so many good restaurants.

"I had an exceptional dining experience at the restaurant. The ambiance was delightful, the service impeccable, and the food was an absolute delight to the taste buds. A five-star gem that I highly recommend for anyone seeking a memorable culinary journey."

Good food, chaotic service. Had to chase for drinks and food orders (e.g. ordered 3 drinks but only 2 arrived), but otherwise great. A step up from your usual Indian restaurant

Get a chance to visit them again... they never disappoint as usual quality food/service/atmosphere ...

Had chicken bhuna and chicken was not cooked properly and naan was soggy. Disappointed since I last visited. Staff were lovely but owner was not understanding. Will not be visiting again !

New owners, new decor, but still delicious food and excellent service. We had a very nice dinner. Thank you.

Have had a take away and eaten in. Both times the food was delicious. The service was wonderful and staff were friendly. Highly recommended.

I recently dined at Redland Tandoori and it was truly an exceptional experience. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The staff here goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and their service is impeccable. The restaurant itself offers a charming and friendly environment that immediately puts you at ease. The ambiance is beautifully decorated, reflecting the rich and vibrant Indian culture. From the decor to the music, it all blends seamlessly to create a truly immersive dining experience

Amazing food gen zero complaints great service great vibe even gave us complimentary stuff my Redland kings ❤️❤️

I shared a wonderful meal with my wife at Redland Tandoori. The seating was very comfortable and there was a great atmosphere in the restaurant with some fun authentic background music. The poppadoms and chutneys were very nice and there was a good variety of flavours. We had the onion bhaji and vegetable samosas to start which were both excellent and even the side salad was delicious with a nice bit of lemon and coriander mixed through. We had the lamb with ocra and a butter chicken as mains. Both lovely and fresh, deliciously spiced and a beautiful texture. The Peshawar naan was an outstanding favourite. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely return back in the future.

Visited on a Friday night, the restaurant was busy but had a really friendly local atmosphere, even while busy the staff were helpful and efficient. We ordered starters, sides and mains - all of which were delicious!

Went here 2 weeks ago with family and really enjoyed it and the owners are lovely.

I've had a few takeaways from here recently, and I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant. The food is truly amazing, full of distinctive flavours and of great quality. I'm looking forward to dining inside with friends sooner than later. I wish the new ownership all things good, and so glad it's now back to a restaurant again.

So happy that the Redland Tandoori opened up again. The restaurant has had a new fit out which look great. The food, service are fantastic, I would really recommend you to try.

We came here on the recommendation of loverly friends, and they couldn’t have made a better recommendation. Had the snapper, was delicious! The staff were loverly and very accommodating, will be back very soon

Lovely restaurant with great curry, service and atmosphere. Definitely going back!

I have come to the restaurant since it was taken over by sunny and uzma and I can honestly say the food and the atmosphere is exceptional for someone who has eaten in many Indian restaurants all around the world this has to be one of my favourites the ingredients are fresh and homemade which adds to the enjoyment of eating in this great family run restaurant

great food, nice vibe, and reasonable price highly recommended👍👍👍

Been here a few times take away and eat in. Always had lovely meal with nice atmosphere inside with comfortable chairs attentive service. Pakora and tandoori mixed grill recommended by our group.

This restaurant is really superb. The poppadoms were fresh and crunchy and the pickle tray was delicious. I ordered a lamb achari and the lamb was tender and the sauce fragrant and tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful, with nothing being too much trouble. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in Bristol.

Fresh ingredients cooked to order, very delicious foods, kind and friendly people. I have been twice now and always felt a warm welcome. I gave 5 out of 5 but would give 10 out 10. Strongly Recommended.

Lovely local restaurant under new management. The owners were so sweet and the food was delicious. Thank you xx

Fantastic food and wonderful service! It is very generous portions and the staff are brilliant! Would definitely recommend.

We recently moved to the area and had a fantastic dinner here last night. The owners were so friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food was also delicious and would thoroughly recommend to anyone!

Our usual Indian restaurant has been a bit mixed recently so we tried Redland Tandoori and are really glad we did. Really good selection of food and friendly staff.

Great food and really friendly staff. Really good sized portions Aswell 10/10

Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful food and really friendly service. I've had the King Prawn Jalfrezi, King Prawn Dekar and Lamb Karai - recommend them all. My go to curry house.

Great food, good service. I had the place to myself, but it seemed pretty busy with takeaways.

Great food at a good price. Friendly and helpful staff too.

The staff were absolutely delightful and food was fabulous. Fish pakora was so good that my vegan girlfriend hasn't stopped talking about it since she tried it.

This is one of the best places I have eaten curry, wonderful, fresh staff are lovely and friendly, highly recommend it and price was very reasonable

I live round the corner from Redland Tandoori and have visited once for my birthday with a group of 11 friends on a Saturday night and recently with a takeaway with my parents. Both times the food has been really tasty and a great price. My parents said it was the best Peshwari Naan they have had!! Highly recommended to eat in or as a takeaway and they are really friendly too. I’ll be back and will be my first choice for a local curry.

Top quality foo, great service and reasonable prices. Spotlessly clean too. Would recommend to anyone.

Delicious food, and the patrons were tremendously kind and attentive.

Wir würden von dem Besitzerehepaar sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Besitzer nahmen sich Zeit für ein persönliches Gespräch. Wir fühlten uns sehr gut und herzlich aufgenommen und Weiden jeder Zeit wiederkommen

Lovely flavours and beautiful fresh food. Great friendly service.

Sunny and Usman were perfect hosts and the food was delicious.

Sunny the owner was outstanding with he’s impeccable customer service and how he made sure we were served properly and there were no complaints whatsoever from myself and my family. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is thinking of going because there food is outstanding especially the chicken Bryani.

Good restaurant with very welcoming staff . Good also very good

Found this absolute gem of a restaurant by luck after helping my daughter move into student digs nearby. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful with menu advice. The food was fantastic I had the tandoori mixed vegetables, pilau rice, naan bread and a lovely side order of chickpea cheekar chana, my daughter had chicken Korma - everything tasted wonderful. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely come back.

Fantastic food, Reasonable prices and a beautiful atmosphere .Nothing can go wrong at this restaurant. Highly recommended

Curry was delicious and staff were very nice only had takeaway but will probs dine in next time.

Recently opened family restautrant. A real gem among the overpriced places in Bristol. I tried many times in the last 2-3 months and I never been let down by the quality and all that comes for a reasonable price. If you would like to eat a delicious indian food than this is your place.

Great curry and service for a very reasonable price. I'd highly recommend it.

Very good food and great hospitality provided. Would recommend and will be back soon

Simply the best! We used to come here regularly years ago. Now the new husband and wife owners have raised the bar but not the price. Excellent food, relaxed atmosphere, good value and all in Redlands famous Chandon Road- we love it!

This has to be the best Indian restaurant in Bristol, we used to come here years ago, now the new owners; husband and wife, have raised the standard and not the price. Very relaxed atmosphere we love this place

Tasty mix of Pakistani and Bangladeshi dishes. Beautifully spiced and cooked. Under new ownership and it shows. Reasonably priced and one of the best curry houses in the area.

Fantastic food. Beautifully cooked with proper spices. Relaxed setting. Good prices too. Recommended.

Best curry we have had in years. So so much better than under previous management. The service was attentive and mindful of my extreme allergy. We ordered a chef special - chicken tikka dish which the owner made hotter to my order. All the sauces were fresh and distinct and used ghee rather than oil so not greasy at all. The garlic naan was perfect and rice also perfectly cooked. Sag paneer and tarka all absolutely deliciousCouldn't fault it. Much prefer the new bright interior too. It will be our new regular curry house.

Had a few takeaways from these guys now - consistently excellent. Flavours are bold and portions are generous. The sides and starters also just miles above others for quality. Also excellent value. #1 in Bristol for me.

First visit since new ownership. Staff very friendly, courteous and efficient. Great ambience and the food was delicious.

We couldn't have asked for a better service tonight. The food was also SUPERB!!!! From the moment we stepped inside, we were made to feel at home by Uzma who was running things (it was very, very busy with lots of people eating and chatting... great atmosphere) We ordered a starter and main and drinks . .. my friend ordered a mango lassi and when it came he wasn't very pleased... Uzma, was very apologetic and went into the kitchen and made a replacement herself and it was superb!! We had Chicken Govindpuri, which was melt in the mouth unctuous and umami ...all in one... we also had the Punjabi lamb which was superb...succulent juicy lamb with a mop up sauce to die for. We had plain naan, warm, sweet and buttery...perfect for picking up the succulent meat and sauces... We were very impressed! The new owners are doing a great job and the food has greatly improved from the previous owners. Finally, an Indian restaurant in Redland that's worth its salt!!!!

A welcome addition to Chandos Road. Food is delicious , the staff are friendly and welcoming, the service impeccable. The new decor is lovely and comfortable. Highly recommended .

Very lovely evening at Redland Tandoori under newish owners. Food was extra-delicious, service so friendly, atmosphere perfect - we'll definitely be back soon. Book early for Christmas!!

Delicious meal enjoyed with three friends at Redland Tandoori last night. Food was very high quality, service was exceptional and great value. We did not have a reservation but I would recommend booking & will definitely be returning soon.

Such a hidden gem. The Best indian meal we've ever had. We normally 'do their takeaway' and know its good. But we decided to eat in today and were just blown away by the taste, presentation, service and restaurant. We enjoyed a varied selection off the menu and enjoyed every mouthful.... even took an additional takeaway for our son after the meal for him to enjoy Would definitely 100% recommend!

What A lovely gem of a place. The chicken tikka starter was out of this world and the ginger lamb dish I had for mains was outstanding. The Service was great and personable with a nice family ran atmosphere. I very much look forward to going back.

Best curry in BS6. Great service, great place to have a curry, lovely options. Would recommend to anyone who lives around Bristol

Lovely staff and amazing food, great place to come back to on the regular.

Everything you'd hope for from a local curry house. Great freshly cooked curries at fair prices (specials are always good), kingfisher on tap and friendly staff.

Been here many times in the past and the new owners are making excellent tasty food. Great taste!

Brilliant authentic South Asian restaurant - a hidden gem in Bristol! We’d given up a long time ago trying to find an authentic South Asian restaurant outside of Brick Lane in London, however, after hearing about Redland Tandoori’s recent popularity and reading the reviews since the restaurant changed hands we were obliged to give it a try. Firstly, the interior is beautifully decorated and the ambience is a friendly buzz with traditional Hindi music playing in the background - a nice touch but not too loud to drown out conversations. We also noted the furniture is especially comfortable and you can sit comfortably for a long time, unlike the wooden chairs most restaurants seem to stock. It seems the restaurant is family run and the service is very attentive and welcoming and we weren’t rushed while picking through the extensive menu. To start, we had poppadums which were light and not too oily, they were paired with a selection of fresh and flavourful chutneys which we thoroughly enjoyed. For the mains we ordered lamb jalfrezi, red snapper balti, pilau rice, garlic naan, peshwari naan, coke and a mango lassi. Firstly, the mango lassi was a perfect complement to the meal, it was very fragrant and creamy and was the perfect level of sweetness - it was a very generous serving too (see picture below). The lamb was beautifully cooked and tender and paired with a rich sauce and vegetables, The red snapper balti was also very impressive and flaked apart easily with a fork but wasn’t mushy. What sets this restaurant apart is each dish had it’s own distinctive flavours and spices - visibly they looked similar so we were apprehensive but by taste they were completely unique and perfectly suited to the lamb and fish. The pilau rice was very good and the naans were served fresh and hot, we could tell by the charred and crisp base they had been made fresh in the tandoor oven. The garlic naan was very aromatic and fragrant and the peshwari naan had a lovely sweet filling. It was clear that this restaurant cooks it’s menu using fresh ingredients and treats every dish like a home cooked meal, as opposed to many restaurants which are churning out overly oily, creamy and sweet ‘curries’ that have all been made from the same sauce bases. In today’s day and age if you want quality food a hefty bill is usually justified - the staggering thing about this restaurant is they serve huge portions of quality food and a vast majority of their main dishes are under £10! This humble restaurant is very well deserving of the recent hype and reviews and I can honestly say I don’t think I have had Indian restaurant food to this standard outside of South Asia. We will definitely be coming back - and hopefully securing a regular table before it gets too popular.

Very good, friendly, fresh naans, super shiek kebab and curry, nice decor , highly recommended, best curry I’ve had in years and I’ve had a few ..

I was only in England for 4 days and really wanted a Tandoori (they are quite rare in France....). Good food, friendly people, quite a comprehensive menu. A nice experience.

Great food and service, we shall come back!

Great to see the Redland Tandoori reopen under new management. The food and service is excellent. I’d go as far as saying it is one of the best Indian/Pakistani restaurants in North Bristol. We’ll be back, weekly.

Welcome back to sit down restaurant, nice new look, fresh and clean, very good food and service. Will be back

Had a wonderful meal tonight to celebrate father's Day, well cooked tasty curry, lovely side dishes and wonderful service. Thank you The Sage family 👍

The people are very nice and the food was delicious.

Great place to take the family. Food and service brilliant.

Lovely food and great service, always enjoy it

Loved the complimentary poppaddums and chutneys. The range of the menu is wide and everything we ordered seemed authentic and tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend!

This place is a hidden gem. I tried it for the first time tonight and immediately upon entering I was struck by the charm and lovely relaxed atmosphere of the place. I ordered onion bhajis, chilli paneer, lamb tikka jalfrezi and a naan. The food was so delicious and lovely and hot. The lamb was tender and the paneer was the best I've had. There was a great amount of gravy to the jalfrezi too which I love. Everything was fresh and tasty. The staff were lovely too and the food was great value. I would definitely recommend Redland Tandoori. I'll be coming back again!
