Roobroo in South Gloucestershire

Really looked forward to this treat last night and was just left a tad disappointed. Most of the food was tepid and just a bit lacklustre.

Gorgeous food here. I had the CHEF SPECIAL CHICKEN SHAHI MURGH MUGHLAI which is a fabulously warming curry (but doesn't blow your head off!) with plenty of sauce. Absolutely delicious and a change from the norm - which i am usually scared to do because I love a Biryani! 😄 The waiters were very attentive and efficient; it was nice and busy so the atmosphere was good. If you want quality food and service come here!

Authentic Indian restaurant... A highly recommended place to sit in with the family and friends. Wide range of drinks available at a reasonable prices too. Lovely ambience and very courteous Staff with a smile on their face always.

Had food there last night with a mate who was visiting. Love this place, fantastic Indian cuisine that’s a level above the other Indian restaurants in Thornbury.

The best Indian taste in country side, Nice owner and staff, fully recommend 💯

Lovely staff and amazing food. We came for a birthday and pre booked, they were very helpful with high chair and everything. Food was 10/10, as well as service and cleanliness. Highly recommend

The two of us had been out in Cardiff and on the way home decided we fancied an Indian. We googled restaurants in Thornbury and Roobroo came up. It was a very good decision to go there we hadn't booked but they swiftly found us a table. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was devine very tasty and hot food. Will deinitely visit again I discovered a lovely dark spicy Rum. Just unfortunate I didn't take cash to have left a gratuity. Thank You ⭐️🍽

Excellent meal, as always. Not the cheapest place to eat but certainly very reasonable at around £30 a head with a couple of drinks.

For what it is, it's a bit overpriced. A lot more pocket friendly options are available nowadays in Bristol

We had a good meal at this restaurant, during our visit to Thornbury. The owner was very attentive and took extra effort to make us comfortable. Great food and adequate portions. Will go back again.

Recently discovered this restaurant. Although the menu is more limited and slightly more expensive than local competitors, you're getting a much better experience. It was delicious and well worth it. Highly recommended and one of the best curries in the area

Skilfully prepared food, good flavours and very good service.

Amazing curry. Smaller menu with some curries you don’t find at a normal curry house but still some classics. Lamb shank is my favourite.

Another excellent meal at Roobroo for us the best curry option in South Glos - smaller menu that some but good selection & quality is top notch plus friendly and efficient service. The chilli chicken starter is a must & goes great with the onion bhaji

Amazing food amazing service. Presentation was lovely

Roobroo is my go-to restaurant in Thornbury. There's a good selection of Indian food and everything I've tried has been delicious.

The food at Roobroo is sublime. The food is freshly cooked to order and the flavours are lovely. We have been there many times but today chose the veg starter platter which was delicious. I tend to go for the vegetarian options and my husband has the meat. He loves the lamb which is incredibly tender. The staff are kind and friendly and the service is excellent. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. It's our favourite restaurant in Thornbury.

Enjoyed a fabulous meal with friends on a Friday evening. Great atmosphere and the food was fresh, delicious and very tasty.

Such great food. Samosa chaat starter is worth the trip alone

Located towards the top of Thornbury’s High Street, this has quite an attractive interior with much exposed stone walling in evidence, and a fairly concise menu compared to many other Indian restaurants, with no sign of a Patia, which is my normal go-to, for example. We had a few poppadum’s whilst perusing the menu, and the accompanying sauces were a little more imaginative than the usual selection. I opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala, and this was a decent and tasty dish, with tender chunks of chicken and a great flavour to the sauce. An accompanying garlic naan was also particularly good, lovely and tasty, and not at all greasy as can often be the case. Downsides were the temperature, it was really cold in there, to the point that I was tempted to leave my coat on. Perhaps they had some sort of a heating breakdown as there were a couple of portable heaters around, but if that were the case I would have thought there might have been some apology. Service was decent enough on the whole, but we were waiting ages for the bill, despite having asked for it twice. In the end we resorted to getting up and paying on our way out. Overall, lovely food, but they need a few tweaks to the environment and the service.

Fantastic Indian restaurant! Delicious food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend trying their butter chicken and garlic naan – absolute perfection! Will definitely be coming back for more.

Excellent curry. Had to wait a little.bit longer than proffered, but food is very good 👍

The chef here has some very individual dishes. Not at all what I was expecting but really good non the less. I would go there again when in the area.

Found a little gem of an Indian restaurant in Thornbury. On close inspection the menu is way smaller than most Indian restaurants and after eating a fantastic meal I now know why . Everything tasted so fresh . My wife had the butter chicken and I had the lamb Nihari in a rich gravy . The nan breads and sides were superb and the rice was a perfect accompaniment . Would highly recommend and will be back soon .

We came across this lovely authentic Indian restraunt on a recent visit to Thornbury. We hadn’t booked and it was late on a Saturday night but the owner welcomed us warmly and we had a gorgeous meal. Between us we had homemade pops and pickle - never had such tasty and light pops- lamb shank, butter chicken, mushroom rice, tarka daal, garlic and coriander naan and would recommend all of it. Lovely fresh ingredients, excellent service. Would definately eat there again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This restaurant offers an interesting menu with popular well known dishes and several less well known. We went twice. Once with family and food and choice was very good. The second time we were on our own and the food was not well prepared. This may have been because we ate early in the evening

Authentic. Flavorful. Value for money. Great service.

Amazing food, and service is good. One of the closest to Indian taste I've experienced by far.

Kept spamming me with emails and text messages despite multiple requests to stop. Reported them to the ICO and the next email that came had an unsubscribe option. Blocked the phone number used for texts. Had the jalfrezi but the sauce was watery and tasteless. When asked about my food, I mentioned this, but I got a lengthy lecture about curry sauces while my food went cold. Poppadoms came in threes (for four people) but at the price, we opted not to buy an extra lot. Dips were barely enough for more than one spoonful. Overall, won't be going back nor would I recommend. Sorry, but in a small town with three Indian restaurants, you have to do better.

Great Experience in Spacious Surrondings with Air con. Service was Top Dog & the Chicken Jalfrezi was Delicious… Best I’ve ever tasted. Source was to die for loaded with plenty Chicken Strips. Highly Recommend.

What a gem of a place in Thornbury, we popped in mid week for a casual supper and both myself and my husband were blown away with the service and depth of flavour. This is north Indian cuisine at its finest. We asked the server what he would recommend for the day and both of us were delighted with our delicious food. Lamb shank fell of the bone and melted in the mouth , aubergine dish was perfectly prepared and spiced We will definitely return Thank you Michelle and Steve

We ordered a takeaway from Roobroo for the first time and it was disappointing, compared to our previous dining experience. The food is good quality, however the portions were very small compared to their cost. At nearly £50 for two people, I wouldn’t order from them again.

An exceptional business. Roobroo is the place for tasty curries. My meal had lots of flavour to it. Great service

Well done Roobroo! The service was exceptional and the chef/patron was totally invested in how the service was run. Our beautiful meal was spaced perfectly between courses allowing us to enjoy our evening in a relaxed setting. The very reasonably priced food was exceptional, the portions perfectly proportioned, and a taste sensation. No greasy, oily dishes here, just layer upon layer of beautiful flavours. The patron very kindly provided a gorgeous, authentic Indian pudding ‘on the house’ when he discovered it was a birthday celebration for our daughter. Congratulations on creating a fabulous restaurant and thank you!

Excellent Indian, one of, if not the best I’ve had

We have now visited Roobroo a nunber of times and the food has been exceptional each time. Do not expect the usual greasy dishes served in Pakistan / Bangladesh type restaurants, this is genuine Indian food as would be served in India. Thornbury is very lucky to have this gem.

Best Indians we’ve been too for a long time makes a great change to not eat processed meat. The service was good waiter was friendly and not over bearing and the food was wonderful not one complaint about it. Worth every penny as it’s not...

We had a delivery takeout, after all the hype we were disappointed, the food arrived luke warm and we only live a few minutes away, the flavour weren’t what we were expecting, we did not get the wow factor that we were expecting based on...

Truly a North Indian taste Restaurant. Food with rajasthan & Punjabi fusion in taste. If staying in Thornbury must visit Indian restaurant if you like good authentic Indian food. To add on that really good service by staff.

One of the most authentic curry house in the South country! Truly delicious food served with care. Ram is always smiling and happy to cater for traditional Indian cooking as per request. Soothing ambience and great location. Definitely worth trying.

You have not had an Indian until you have had Roobroo. I dont enjoy currys usually as they are too oily and creamy but Roobroo is fine dining. Very fragrant and delicious. Great value for money.

The food was quite good, though a rather limited menu (eg no chicken tikka) and not particularly cheap. The service, however, was attentive and very pleasant. The restaurant had been recommended to us. The environment and decor is quite basic, but we still enjoyed the...

For those who enjoy mainstream lager and 'three trick sauce’ curry this may not be to your preference. More a handmade cask ale, the deft use by a first generation Indian of fresh spices ads aromas, flavours and textures not seen in mainstream curry houses; even the dipping sauces are a wonder. Arrive empty to enjoy the samosas and rice pudding.

We came last Friday for a meal and were very happy with the good service, nice atmosphere and the quality of the food. Not greasy, very tasty North Indian cuisine. The tandoori chicken and vegetarian jalfreze were really nice. As was the traditional rice pudding for desert. Recommended.

Very disappointed. I was looking forward to this all day. Absolutely love chicken tikka masala but this tasted like it was out of a jar. The nann bread and onion Baji was what you would expect and the staff were very friendly but the curry was not what I expected.

Great for those who like Indian cuisine and enjoy interesting dishes done well with great mix of herbs and spices

Really really good, I have a takeaway from this place twice a month, maybe more but who’s counting. I would say this is a high end Indian and the quality of the delivery is excellent, warm food and on time. The owner is very pleasant and knows me by name which always helps with the hole experience. It is more pricey than your average Indian but for me worth every Penny. An asset to thornbury, keep it up.

Went with a group of work colleagues for a team night out, we weren’t sure what to expect, the decor definitely has what I would call old school charm. Once inside though the staff were lovely, could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Food...

Excellent menu! Great staff polite and friendly! Great quality food. I'd highly recommend

Lucky find and what a treat it was! If you’re after a basic , ten a penny Indian restaurant this place probably isn’t for you . From the outside it’s quite unassuming , then comes the food - Oh Wow! This place serves authentic, freshly...

We had Sunday lunch at Roobroo and had a great meal. Everything was exquisitely cooked, subtly flavoured and immaculately presented. Very courteous and friendly service too. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Visited the Roobroo to have a meal in the early evening of 13th April. This was the first time ever that we have eaten at this restaurant and we would thoroughly recommend it. Many Indian restaurants have deteriorated since Covid Lockdown. However, the Roobroo is much better than most that you will currently find in the South Gloucestershire area and much further away. The food was exceptional and the quality was particularly good.

You have to try this Indian, great authentic food

Had a wonderful meal at Roobroo. The owner was so welcoming and recommended dishes for us that suited our taste buds. Was definitely one of the best Indian restaurants I have been too and was great value for money

The best Indian food we have had in several years. A great find in a small little restaurant in Thornbury.

Amazing food, lovely staff. Monday night so very quite but definitely will be back

Ordered Biriyani and I was served a dish which is definitely not à Biriyani. Taste average. Not very impressed with the restaurant.

This was a really good curry, in the heart of Thornbury. Don't be put off by the slightly-tatty paintwork - the flavours are very good, the service attentive and all with a very reasonable price-tag

What a fantastic curry, best ever we have had. I pass this restaurant every day to work. We visited last night as a gift from my sister, what a meal it was too. Shall be regulars from now on...thank you Roobroo.

My partner and I are foodies! We've tried countless Indians before now and have never tried any as great as Roobroo. All spices are made personally by the owner on a weekly basis.. you couldn't get any fresher than that! Super delicious 😋 We will definitely be back.

Fantastic food, friendly and efficient staff, great evening!

Lovely food and nice atmosphere 👌

Had a great meal again at roobroo great service friendly staff great chef so give a try out there .

I arrived early after a two hour drive from Plymouth. They welcomed me into the warm without question, seating me comfortably. it was my grans 80th birthday. The staff were helpful the entire time, including one member of staff who I believe was enjoying her...

Had a really lovely meal and the menu was good as it was different to your usual Indian restaurant. Very well marked with Gluten Free options and the manager came to double check our order to make sure everything was suitable for us. The only...

Got a delivery and let’s just say we are not the most satisfied. Although the food was ok, it definitely wasn’t worth the price. The way the menu is written makes it seem like you are getting something you’re not and the portion sizes were...

Fantastic food, nice cosy atmosphere, super friendly staff and proprietor. Definitely going back next time we're in the area.

What a lovely surprise this turned out to be. I am quite fussy and find many Indian restaurants serve the same old dishes, most of which taste like each other. This one is not one of them. The food is obviously made from scratch and tasted delicious. You could taste the spices and each plate was more delicious then the other. The owner was front of house and was super helpful when we asked about anything, making us feel really welcome. I cannot recommend this enough!

We ordered a large takeaway this evening and the food was fabulous and the service was quick. They double checked our order to make we had everything (we had orders A LOT) The food seems much more authentic and much better quality than your average Indian. Definitely the best Indian in Thornbury.

Lovely place for a quiet Indian meal, a hidden little gem.

5star meal - this place is different from your average curry house. Different tastes and non greasy. Lovely variety on the menu. Good quality food and service. Highly recommended 🍛

Great authentic Indian food in Bristol. We are blessed to have them near Almondsbury

Fantastic food, really good Indian cuisine. Great service, nice wine and a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go back 👍👍

Superb. If you’re after your bog standard British curry house then this isn’t for you. If you want a more authentic Indian curry then this is for you. The popadoms, naan and curry are much more authentic than the norm.

Had a team dinner here. Service is good. Taste okay. Interior okay.

Was good. A lovely evening. Albeit an expensive evening for what was had.

I organised group of around 20 colleagues who came to Roobroo for our annual 'team lunch', and it was excellent. I had a vegetarian disk Palak paneer kofta which I have never been offered at an Indian restaurant before and it was very good, my...

Always 5* and absolutely delicious. The owner is always polite and welcoming. Truly authentic Indian food.

Have only ordered takeaways from here so can't comment on the atmosphere but food is always excellent and staff friendly when we collect our food. We areplanning to visit the restaurant in the very near future

Not normally one for writing reviews, but the food here was fantastic. Best Jalfrezi I've ever had

Lovely cosy restaurant, excellent food, wide menu, veggie options are superb, reasonably priced, friendly service. Good for larger groups or small. Been several times and always high quality.

My partner and I have been there several times now and it's been superb every time, the vegan options are delicious and we'd highly recommend them to anyone. It's easily some of the best Indian food we've had in the UK. The staff are friendly...

We live in the area, and love this little gem of a restaurant! They have excellent vegetarian and vegan options, and their mango lassi is friggin' delicious (love the hint of cardamon they add to it!). We come here all the time, as it's some...

Great food and so friendly . The owner cane out to check everything was good . The lamb curry meat was very tender .

What a super little restaurant! Tucked away at the bottom of the High Street I went here on a Thursday evening with some friends. We had booked and there were a few other parties there. We were greeted warmly, offered drinks and had a nice...

Amazing food! Everything is prepared with care and staff are friendly. Have eaten at the restaurant and had takeaway. One the best Indian's around! 🙂

Lovely Indian restaurant, staff couldn't do enough. Definitely recommend 👌

Chicken biryani it was amazing!! Love the food

Took a chance as was passing, and even though they were having a busy Sat night, they squeezed us in without a booking. Service was friendly, and food was AMAZING! Looking forward to going back soon!

The flavours and blends of the dishes are outstanding. Order the poppadum's and experience the different sauces and chutneys made on site they were amazing. The owner was very friendly and staff very efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is very very good and reasonably priced. Exceeded expectations and then some!! Owner is very pleasant and made sure our experience was one to remember. Thank you!

Honestly one of worst curries I’ve ever had. Please try the one next door as it is lovely

Lovely food and staff,definitely go back

Delicious meal last Saturday night. I had eaten here a few months ago with a big group and was so impressed I wanted my husband to come this time to try the food. With two children we don't get out often and he's vegetarian, so...

Got a delivery and let’s just say we are not the most satisfied. Although the food was ok, it definitely wasn’t worth the price. The way the menu is written makes it seem like you are getting something you’re not and the portion sizes were not ideal for the price we paid. All in all, could be improved but not the worst

This was a weird visit for us. The curry (tikka and korma) was beautiful. However, be aware when ordering the poppadum's to start - this is not your usual starter alike other restaurants. The poppadum's are seeded and the sauces are not typical (i.e., no...

A friend and I ate there yesterday evening. The décor is a little different from the many stereotypical Indian restaurants which some might read as a negative. The food however was wonderful as was the service. The food was well presented, in a slightly classier style than is the norm. Although I'm not a foodie I was very impressed by the flavours of our dishes. The menu is not massive but what they do, they do well. We got to meet the chef/owner who understandably took great pride in his food. Will definitely be back.

We first visited at the end of July as a couple and we were blown away by the food. We came back this week with our family (my mother and our teenage children) and they also loved the experience. The food is amazing, the service...

amazing service amazing food will into go anywhere else in Thornbury to have an Indian out. The staff are always very helpful I go at least once a week and can never fault it

Delicious food and great service!
