The Coconut Tree Bristol – Glos Rd in Bristol, City of

GoPi was a pleasure, food excellent as usual

If you like spicy food and the taste of coconut, this is a culinary experience not to be missed. Take 2 or 3 dishes per person with one side (I especially recommend the roti) and share, this way you get to taste much more than in an average restaurant. Most dishes are spicy bordering on hot, even if not marked with a devil head on the menu, but you can have plenty of sweet cocktails or mocktails to wash it down. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is lively, the food is delicious - all in all, a great night out.

Overall a nice restaurant proposing a wide selection of sri lankan dishes, which is very interesting. Great place to discover new flavours! I would definitely recommend the Fat sister (pumpkin curry) and the pickled aubergines, I am however not so fond of the Colombo cheese: I really like paneer but this one is not particularly nice tasting and it is a bit dry.

I had an amazing experience at Skrilankan Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavour and perfectly spiced. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. Our server, Lola, was fantastic! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Her service really elevated our dining experience. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. Five stars all the way!

Totally delicious cousin from Sri Lanka , very rich, creamy dishes, great , tasty combinations of spices and coconut milk, very nice and friendly service

We tried this place tonight on a whim & we are so pleased that we did! Great atmosphere, incredible food, amazing cocktails & phenomenal service. Molly, Callum, Rav, marina & onadi were amazing. Molly served us first & took us through the menu which was exceptional customer service. Thanks so much!

We had a great evening with amazing food. Ordered too much lovely food but they kindly bagged it all up to take away. Alastair provided great service

Fantastic food, good music and great service by Pasindu and the team. The food is very authentically Sri Lankan and great portion sizes.

Lovely food, drinks as always and service from Pasindu was excellent. Flavours here are always amazing. Love the coconut tree!

Great place to fill your belly with delicious food. Tasty drinks and friendly service, great service from Pasindu. Definitely will come back!

I like the coconut tree because I like the food

A fabulous restaurant, delicious food and great service. One of my favourite restaurants, the food has never disappointed me and the cocktails are great. The waiters are always friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful place, great food festive and awesome music..very reasonably priced too. Def worth a vist.

Excellent food, loads of interesting dishes.

Recently came in for dinner and one of the guests from the bottomless drinks ended up throwing up all over the floor which got into my shoe, staff was relatively good at handling just ruined the experience

Amazing food. Lovely people. Definitely coming again.

Awesome food, great service and a cool atmosphere!

First time visiting with my sister. Lovely place, lovely atmosphere, delicious food and mocktails 🤤 We were served by a welcoming and helpful man. Thank you we will be back again! Pleased they had vegan and vegetarian options too! 🙏😋

I’ve wanted to visit this places for ages. Finally got there a couple of weeks ago and happy to say I enjoyed it. Lovely warm welcoming vibe/decor. I hadn’t realised in advance that they only do small plates but it turned out to be a good thing as we all got to try more dishes than we would if we’d just ordered our own mains The menu choices were a little overwhelming because everything sounds good! In the end we ordered the goat curry, the chicken curry, calamari, sticky rice, chicken wings and roti. We were 3 people and it was enough. We also tried a few cocktails and they were good too. Shout out to Eden, our friendly waitress who patiently answered our questions. I’d definitely go here again.

A really friendly place with excellent food.

Fantastic restaurant, delicious food, very friendly and welcoming, can’t wait to return

The interior is looks so carefully thought out. I feel like im somewhere in somewhere tropical as opposed to being in Gloucester Road, Bristol. Food is so much tastier here than their branch in Clifton. (The one in Clifton dont taste as good.) A top favourite for me is the crispy squid...it is packed with so much flavour and remains crispy throughout the whole meal and doesnt go soggy - this is highly recommended!

The food was good, could have been better, couldn’t fault the service though.

Honesty the most amazing experience! The food was delicious. The staff were amazing! Especially Lola! What a sweetheart! Some how ended up with an extra cocktail and calamari. The most amazing, lovely people. 3rd time here - highly recommend

I had a great dining experience at Coconut Tree Bristol. The food was delicious and authentic, with a perfect balance of spices. The prawn fried rice and kotthu were my favorites. Kaju maluwa was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, making great recommendations. Shehan provided outstanding customer service, ensuring we felt welcome and well-cared for throughout our meal. The restaurant's decor was vibrant and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. We enjoyed our meal with family and had a wonderful time. We highly recommend Coconut Tree. for anyone wanting to enjoy true Sri Lankan flavors in the UK. We would love to see a new restaurant open in the Norwich area as well!

Excellent food! Excellent service! Will definitely be back for more. Fabulous Sri Lankan dishes and Lion Lager! #hungryhippos

Thank you to everyone at the coconut tree, especially Gopi! Delicious food and great service. Got a few plates for two and it was plenty

Served by Kyziah who was an absolute angel! such great service from her and her colleagues. Came for my partner birthday and she brought him a cocktail on the house. Very glad we chose to come here today! Thanks everyone :)

Second visit and just as impressed as the first! AMAZING service, delicious food, yummy cocktails. Cannot fault and cannot wait return. Thank you!

Delicious vegan food and friendly staff. Keep coming back :)

Great food, great drinks, great price. Can't ask for more - Shehan was a great server too!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Shehan was very nice and helpful. Lovely experience, would definitely go again here.

Loved it, 10/10, get the big elephant with the prosecco, highly recommend🤩 Big thank you to Shehan!

Had a wonderful lunch today, my waiter- Pasindo- was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. I went for the option of having them pick out an assortment of dishes for me- and each of them was absolutely delicious. A nice balanced heat and extremely flavorful. Would be great to go here with a group, but even as a solo dinner, it was very affordable and manageable. I highly recommend The Coconut Tree. Thanks for a great meal 🙏

Great service from Gopi and delicious food, we will certainly be back!!!

Atmosphere amazing, every member of staff were happy and good fun. Food was delicious, shared every meat and fish dish, plus a few on the veggie menu too, cocktails and mocktails too draw as well, over all a great dining experience was had by the party of 6

First Sri Lankan food in Bristol. Yum. Tapas smaller dishes but they’re a little bigger than you think, so you leave full and happy

Coconut tree has a lovely chilled vibe. Very friendly staff and the food is perfect too suit both vegetarian and meat eaters alike! Highly recommend. Gopi is great!

Thank you for the brilliant service Kyziah! Great food recommendations 😊

Amazing service by Gopi, top quality food he will take care off you!

A tapas-styled, relaxed eatery with high quality, very flavoursome food with the right mix of spice and kick even for those who don’t like chilli. Not your usual dishes but delightful nonetheless and definitely recommended for any foodie. Amazing unique cocktails, wonderfully pleasant service and an all round must go destination when eating out at Bristol!

Had the best time tonight in Gloucester Road's The Coconut Tree: we were given a warm, friendly welcome and the menu was explained. I had parippu (dahl), sticky rice, 5C's sambol (shredded carrot, cucumber,chili, coconut and coriander flavoured with half a lime) and brinjal moju pickled aubergine) This was definitely one of the best meals I've ever had out. The perfect combination: a comforting creamy coconuty dahl with sticky rice, fresh zesty, tangy, sambol and the gorgeously hot pickled aubergine was the cat's whiskers! Fantastic! Oh and I had the divine panna cotta -Sri Lankan style! The atmosphere was great, loved the music, definitely coming back to try a hopper!

Fab lunch on a sunny Saturday. The team could not be more friendly & helpful if they tried, offering food & drink advice when sought as well as not rushing us after 4.5 hours of nattering over extra drinks. Our bill for two was just over £80 for two meat mains with rice and 3 rounds of cocktails - would definitely recommend the Negroni. Looking forward to visiting their Birmingham venue.

Excellent service and value for money

Amazing place, food is amazing, atmosphere was great and the service we had was spot on. Definitely going back and would highly recommend.

Really nice little place. Lovely staff, my friend was feeling a bit under the weather and they were really kind and accomodating. Thank you

The food was so tasty, Kyziah served and she was so amazing, really attentive and so friendly!

kyziah slays and is reallllly nice xxx thnx for the good times

On May 18th, 2024, I placed an order for three Chicken Kottu, and I must say, it was extremely disappointing compared to my previous order a month ago. The quality, taste, and portion size have all significantly declined, while the price has increased. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Lovely mix of food and great atmosphere. Will recommend to friends.

Shehan made us feel so looked after and cared for - the staff here are always looking out for you and so much fun. The raspberry virgin mojito is the best drink you will ever have and ALL the food is ridiculously delicious. Thank you!! Amazing every time!!!

Amazing food and lots of choice! Had a great vibe.

Enjoyed our recent trip to The Coconut Tree. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and since we booked through the First Table app it was 50% off so we tried a copious amount of it. Can recommend the egg hopper, the goat curry and the chicken wings. Also the sticky rice is worth a little dabble. Would go again 👍

Gorgeous food, amazing cocktails!

Absolutely fantastic food. They also gave us a free dish, since there had been a mix-up in the orders. Super accommodating staff!

Loved the staff here they were so friendly and helpful, the food is tasty 😋 only downside the music was a bit loud to hold a conversation over dinner

We went for the 'Can't Decide' option on the menu with a vegan requirement, letting our server Kyziah choose some plates for us. All of the choices and food were delicious, the cocktails were great, and we left happy and full :) Kyziah and the rest of the staff were incredible kind and generous to us, making the experience even better!

Very expensive for portions given. Nice food but ordered a large plate and came in a small box. Would need two large plates to feel full.

Really really attentive service, had a really really really really really lovely time, thank you very very much!!!!!! Pascale and Freya were lovely:)

amazing food for good prices, service from Shehan was great. will be back

Every dish enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere, good and timely service.

Had planned to go to Nandos before an evening out in Bristol but they were busy - ended up finding the Coconut Tree and what a treat we had. Not knowing much about Indonesian food we let the (excellent) waitress surprise us and we're presented with a tapas type meal full of variety and absolutely wonderful. We didn't have a lot of time as we had other plans but would certainly recommend making an evening of it. Saturday early evening was already very busy so definitely book.

The service and food was amazing, kyziah and shehan were amazing ! The food was quick and the waiters were extremely attentive!

Really lovely and helpful staff, great atmosphere, and wonderful and delicious food! Always a great time when I come here:)

Stumbled upon the restaurant while searching for Vietnamese and were so glad that we never found the place we were looking for! Fantastic flavours, great portion sizes, excellent service! Highly highly recommend.

Really great food! Genuinely some of the best food we’ve had in Bristol, flavours were incredible. The extra star was lost for service as unfortunately it was really poor! It might’ve just been an off night but there seemed to be 5 floor staff so a lot of staff for the size of the place. Had to flag someone down 20 mins in to order drinks, food came out before drinks, no one checked on us during, someone cleared half our plates a while after we finished but forgot about the 2nd half and not asked about desserts or 2nd drinks (we would’ve ordered if we had a chance). Just feel this isn’t the way it was intended to be, really great food was let down. So easy to correct!! Staff were all nice and friendly!

I enjoyed my visit to The coconut tree. The Food was great and I can't fault the service. I didn't appreciate a 10% tip being added to the bill. An additional £13.50 to bring the food to the table is excessive. I appreciate the money maybe going to the servers to boost their minimum wage but it shouldn't be up to the customer to pay staff wages.

What a great place. Don't come here for a quiet night out. It's fun, loud and great food

First timer. Amazing foodie experience. Tapas style serving. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection . The staff were very welcoming.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was brilliant! Really fun time with friends and loved the flaming cocktails.

Une street-food innovatrice, avec des saveurs exotiques et originales. La carte est variée et offre aussi plusieurs options véganes délicieuses. Le personnel est dynamique et attentionné. Les prix sont très corrects. A découvrir, sans hésiter!

Food was nice and the people were quite friendly. They also have halal options (chicken and lamb).

The food and cocktails are amazing! Highly recommend. Banging music and excellent service from Shaggy! Definitely recommend!

The most delicious Gluten free food with the best service. Couldn’t have asked for more. Would highly recommend and will visit again asap.

The food here is amazing! Flavours like you’ve not had before, attentive and friendly staff. The cocktails were also pretty special too!

Eaten here a couple of times and absolutely loved it. The food is sensational, so many great choices it's impossible to decide what to eat. Would definitely recommend. Great service and atmosphere complete what is a wonderful experience.

Big birthday party. The were so accommodating, the waiter was patient and friendly even tho we were loud and demanding. Top marks. Music was also banging

Just superb. Will be going back with others - food was sublime. Also a lot of the menu is gluten free, which is handy. Helpful waiter

What a very special lunch! A family birthday lunch for 7 people, we ordered a wide range of dishes and all of them were beautiful, the sticky pork and the calamari my particular favourites. Fernando our waiter was fantastic. Thank you Cococnut Tree, we will be back.

Best takeaway I've had in a very long time .fresh ingredients tasty 😋 and something abit different will be ordering again 😋

Excellent food and tasty cocktails. Service was good, the pork curry dish is to die for. Probably on the more expensive end of dining, but not fine dining

Amazing food & lovely staff, highly recommend!!

Nice place and good food but some staff are slightly rude

Me and my husband went here on the new year's eve, 2023. It was Kush who served us. She was very friendly and extremely helpful. Gave us a good service and made sure we were fine with food. We had Hoppers, Beef curry, Prawns fried rice, Paratas, Calamari with passion fruit and raspberry mocktails and they tasted great. Thank you Coconut Tree and Kush for your great food and service!

Fantastic food, small plates means you can try a lot of dishes. Cocktails are delicious

Delicious delicious delicious! Fragrant and full of flavour and incredibly reasonably priced, lovely staff and service very accomodating to bringing my baby in for lunch, cool decor, cool music, great drinks list, all round good experience thanks Coconut Tree!

What an absolutely wonderful meal. My boyfriend and I LOVE TCT, though it is our first time at the Redland branch. BIG thank you to Shaggy for the 10/10 service :)

Went in Jan 23. They had no heating. I had booked for special occasion. Would have liked a call beforehand informing me of the situation so I could have gone elsewhere or they could have moved us to sister restaurant. It was freezing, we ate in our coats. Ruined the experience.

We were met with friendly service and help with the menu. All 6 dishes were delicious and cocktails were dab too. We will definitely come back.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service (by Freya)! I've got to write another 52 characters so I'm doing that now. Oh, and it was very kind of them to squeeze us in at a busy time.

food and service is always wonderful :)

Organised a group to go here to celebrate my birthday after seeing them win on come dine with me. We were so disappointed, service was slow waited ages for drinks etc. Food came in dribs and drabs to table. The food was new to us...

What a beautiful place! Food and drinks were delicious, atmosphere was so chilled and our waiter, Matthew, was an absolute superstar!!

Lovely service, Kyziah was really friendly to us and did not hesitate to serve us with all her heart. Definitely will recommend my friends to come here!

Really lovely atmosphere! The vegan kotthu is great - thoroughly recommend. Kyziah (our server) was very friendly and accommodating!

Insane food, lots of little plates so get to try everything and it was all so good!! Really good value for money aswell and Shehan and all the staff were lovely!

A group of 22 of us came for a hen do and they put on the bottomless deal for us. Eddie was absolutely fantastic, what a lad, he was so attentive, calm and efficient. Credit to him, marina and Matt, give them a payrise (particularly...

Really tasty food. Nice place to sit. Friendly staff. Lots of variety on the menu, but food and drinks. Would strongly recommend for medium to large groups.

Fun fun fun the night was fun and Freya was a great host, she knew the menu so well and she chose our dishes very well, amazing!

Great food, great vibe, great tunes. One of my favourites in the city. Lots of options for vegans, which suits me perfectly, and non vegan friends
