Somerset Masala in Taunton Deane

Googled Indian restaurant in area Tried 2 and then tried this restaurant. Best out of 3 . Great service and food was really spot on .Had a madras maybe try a vindallo next as was bit mild . Will be returning when I’m back in area Spacious modern surroundings and staff faultless …great customer service Wish the team great success in future .

When w got in we got seated by a member of staff then just walked away ! Someone else came back ordered the drinks took like 20mins to come the restaurant was not busy two other tables, the larger seemed to been tinned lager and not from a tap, when are starter cam we was half way through and staff trying to take are plates away, happened 5 times was not impressed by this it's just like just wait for use to completely finish first b4 taking the plates away, the main came out was 5 pieces of overcooked chicken and loads of sauce, the rice had red cabbage in it for some reason had to pick around it!! The best thing was the Onion bhajis really tasty!

Lovely food great customer service i was recommended by staff the curry choose for me it was exceptional very good food lovely choose i would recommend this place

Great choice of authentic Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 cuisine on the menu, I especially recommend the prawn puri starter, the samosas and can’t really choose between the hottest mains on the menu as they were all banging and perfectly seasoned! 👨🏽‍🍳👨🏽‍🍳👨🏽‍🍳 I do recommend a pineapple raita to calm down the spice of those devilishly hot lamb and chicken dishes with 2 or 3 chilli’s next to them! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥- Highly recommended and we will be back for sure! ✔️

Don't be put off by the location or crazy outside lighting, this is actually a very nice curry house. Recommend it if you are going bowling or to the cinema in the same area. The service friendly was friendly and very quick. We were pleased that you get a decent amount of chutneys with the poppadums (sometimes you go places where there isn't enough for everyone but that wasn't the case here). Couldn't fault the food. Good vegetarian selection.

Came and ate here for the first time and was very impressed. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing and the food was very scrumptious! i would highly recommend this place to eat

Highly recommend this restaurant. Went with 10 people for evening meal & service was excellent, nothing too much trouble, clean & food was all excellent. This will now be our go to Indian for sure in Taunton!!! Thank you for a fab evening

We tried our luck on getting a table, on the 2nd Sept as we was staying in a local hotel for the night. They very kindly accommodated us, a family of 3. Service was excellent, each person was very friendly and professional, we felt very looked after. Food was amazing, if we are ever in the area again we will return, food was tasty, looked gorgeous and we were all full up and satisfied. Thank you to all the team and keep up the amazing service and food

Ordered a takeaway tonight been looking forward to one for ages. ordered and told 45 minutes and it came in 20 minutes. but unfortunately it was lukewarm One dish was very salty, other two other dishes lacking in flavour. Very disappointed still feeling hungry, will not use again.😞

Visiting a friend in Somerset and we went from the local pub to this wonderful curry house. Food was excellent and we struggled to eat it all as the portions are generous. The cocktails are a real treat and well priced. Service was attentive and very friendly. Definitely recommend and one of the best curries we've had in years.

Very nice Indian restaurant. Excellent quality level of food served very similar to what I tasted in India. A true surprise. Clean and cozy place. The staff is gentle and competent. Strongly recommend.

We visited with friends on a Saturday evening and had a fantastic meal. The food was excellent and staff were attentive. We will be back and definitely recommend to all.

2nd visit to see if 1st was just a one off … no it wasn’t! Starters of Shaslick and Chicken cigars were beautifully presented and so tasty. Mains of Chicken Badam and Railway Lamb were equally impressive. Simply can’t fault the quality, the service. (My partner considers it is one of the best she has ever eaten). Cost was £60 for both including 1 beer and a lemonade which by today’s prices was not bad. Well done to the chef!

In Driving past this Venue it usually looks empty or closed during the day . Don't be fooled . ! This little gem needs closer inspection ! The decor is warm and inviting . As are the attentive staff. The tables are spaced nicely , we sat by the window . The menu lists a great selection of foods . We had Poppadum and mixed pickles . A great start , to our main course . Drinks arrived prior to the starter . Beer on tap, a good selection of wines and soft drinks . Reasonably priced . Unsure of what to select from the menu ? Ask the staff to suggest for you. They are very knowledgeable about their menu and are very happy to help. Main choice 1 . Chicken Tikka Shashlik . A form of Shish Kebab , tender chicken pieces skewered with onions an peppers and Pilau rice . Pleasing to eye, beautifully served and a treat for the palate. Main choice 2. Lamb Biriyani. Another great dish . Spicier than other Biryani's I have tried. The meat was tender ,lean and a pleasure to eat . This came in one dish no extra sauce or vegetable.. but if you like a little heat this would please you . As anticipated in " Good " Restaurants we were asked if everything was ok. This was timely and not minutes into the first mouthful. It truly was a delight . We left following a hot wipes to refresh hands and an after dinner mint . I am happy to recommend this experience.

We were looking for somewhere near our hotel to have dinner with our daughter and friends, I spotted this place on an earlier walk so thought we would give it a go. We were not sure what to expect, but received a very warm welcome and excellent service. The food & drinks were delivered to our table promptly and with care. The food was absolutely delicious, reasonably priced and we all left very full but so happy with our experience. Should we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely be paying a return visit. Thank you so much 😊

Got a takeaway from the Somerset Masala as it was the closest local Indian restaurant. I wish I had examined it before I left the restaurant as I would have demanded my money back. I paid nearly £4 for a garlic nan bread when I...
