The Coconut Tree Clifton Triangle in Bristol, City of

Really good meal here as always - coops and marina gave us great service

We really liked the space itself and the food was really good! Unfortunately, the service did not really work out. We came in with a larger group and the waitress kept forgetting orders, many people got their curries without the side and by the time the flatbread/rice arrived (10-15 min later), the curry was cold. We all liked our food, however, due to it arriving at completely different times and constantly having to remind the waitress, our experience wasn't as good as it could have been. Unfortunately, by the end, the waitress seemed annoyed and rather than acknowledging the problem. I would go again for the great food but wouldn't recommend it for a group larger than 4 people.

Okay food Absolutely shocking service

Excellent food, sadly let down by long delays. Our second time collecting food today and our second time waiting an unknown time by the door. This time our order was 30 mins late despite being ordered online ahead of time with one of the available collection slots. Incredibly disappointing.

Good food but don’t feel too excited about the prices: servings are tapas style and you need 2-3 orders per person, so it does ADD UP! Atmosphere is clean and nice, strong wifi. Food was flavourful when amazing (sambol), on the other hand the basmati rice was severely undercooked. Service was totally off but makes sense - only one person attending to patrons

This cuisine was such a delight to try whilst visiting Bristol. Such flavorful and mouth watering spices with great vegan & vegetarian selections. The cashew coconut curry is chefs kiss. The hopper is a must have if you have never tried Sri Lankan dishes. We tried a bunch of wonderful plates. I only wish you were closer to London. Thank You for a delicious experience already an instant new favorite.

Great atmosphere: vibrant but chilled. Lovely staff and delicious food. Would highly recommend. We went for pre-theatre food and it was already buzzing.

Great place for a nice drink and good food lovely time and lovely staff treated us very well it was all in all a great night out

Went out for dinner and drinks with family and the menu has a big variety of different options for different needs! there is many vegan and vegetarian options. the lion drink is a must. the staff are warm and welcoming to all and the atmosphere is fun and upbeat!

Went with my family for a meal and was really happy with the selection on the food and drinks menu! the lion drink is a must! service was quick and smooth and staff were really helpful with my allergies, food caters to all needs and would recommend to everyone

Went in for drinks and food and the atmosphere was amazing I really recommend the coconut tree if you want good traditional food and respectful employees! The pork was my personal favourite. A lovely member called Tuana helped me with choosing off the menu and she was very helpful

Excellent drinks, delicious food, friendly service. We had a great time, many small dishes that complemented each other well.

Great food and drinks and great service, but it was not authentic Sri Lankan. They were playing a weird mix of drum and bass and jamaican rastafari music, which gave it a very cheap inauthentic vibe. The toilets were beyond disgusting, they made me want to vomit.

best food ever!! super nice staff, music a but loud but the turned it down thankfully. really friendly and fun place, one of my fav restos in bris as the food is amazing!

Such good vibes as always, great and friendly service and lovely, quick food. Drinks are very yummy too! Always recommend.

Lively restaurant with good food.interesting cuisine.

Food was decent. Could be more spicier and the portion sizes were very small compared to many other Sri lankan restaurants in the country for the prices paid. The service by the female waitress was not great and not welcoming. Sri lankan hospitality is arguably the best in the world. However, I did not witness this at the restaurant unfortunately and this made my experience disappointing.

Love the vibe of the restaurant. The interior is lovely and staff were very friendly.

Goats curry fab, black pepper pork ok but not the depth of flavour of the goat. Wouldn't bother with a hopper again as a starter. For lunch should have had a hopper and goat curry with perhaps the carrot sambal. But good gf options.

Friendly staff, loved the food and the Sri Lankan twist on the cocktails. Look forward to another visit.

Delicious food, great service and a nice environment. Also great value for money. One of my favourite places to eat.

It was quiet when we visited midweek with only one other table in. We ordered the set lunch offer at £15 each. Our waitress was polite and attentive. We all enjoyed the ice tea. The raspberry one was particularly tasty. I personally didn't love the texture of the hopper and found it too sweet. The dal was delicately spiced and aromatic, and the chicken on the bone was tender and had a nice warm after heat. The 5Cs slaw was delicious, though the cabbage slaw may be an acquired taste. It wasn't for us. My husband enjoyed the pumpkin curry, too. The portions are larger than a typical Tapas serving and were plentiful for lunch. I would go back to try the cashew, black pork, and goat curries and chipatis.

Coconut tree is a gem! amazing food, loved the calamari, and great cocktails. Shaz was amazing 👍🏻

Amazing food, great service, good music and an amazing atmosphere

The food and cocktails were gorgeous and staff were very attentive, good value for money too will definitely be back :)

I used to come to TCT quite often, until a recent incident, where a staff member had accidentally spilt chilli oil on me. Accidents happen and he was very apologetic about it and I went to the toilet to try and clean my top and skirt. Sadly, after washing my outfit at home, my top remained stained and so I contacted the restaurant about a compensation for the damage, including a proof of purchase and a picture of the stained top, which I only bought a couple of days before visiting the restaurant. I received a response to say that the restaurant was very sorry and that of course they will reimburse me, however after chasing this for a month via email and speaking to the restaurant twice on the phone, they completely ignored me! I was told that the person dealing with this has been chasing the main owner… Clearly, the owner was not interested in resolving this. Very disappointing TCT!

Very cool interior. Friendly and knowledgable staff. 10/10 food. A refreshing change of cuisine. Get the coconut sticky rice !!

"Great food, really tasty and filling. Great variety, vegan, vegetarian and GF as well as food for meat eaters. Very friendly service. Loved the cocktails and the mocktails. A lovely early evening meal. Will definitely come again… recommend the egg hopper and 5cs. Delicious! Thank you!"

Fantastic food, can be spicy but staff are great & helpful with recommendations 👍🏼 2 -4-1 cocktails are a Friday night bonus

Really enjoyed the cocktails (pina colada and lion cocktail) as well as the tasty unique Sri Lankan food. We were very hungry, having not eaten much all day, so we ordered an egg hopper each and then shared the goat curry, chicken on the bone, devilled chicken wings and pork belly. We had prawn fried rice and roti on the side. It was more than enough (for 2 people) and the flavours and spice levels were incredible - with the goat curry a real standout. Perhaps the food would be deemed too spicy/hot by some, but for me it was amazing. I’d definitely recommend.

The food was Incredible, the atmosphere was great and staff couldn't be nicer. Cannot recommend this place enough - must try

Coconut Tree is a real find. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly and the staff are very attentive. Always impressed with the food and there’s a brilliant array of options for vegans.

Fantastic food and brilliant service. Milly’s customer service was outstanding, very friendly and went out of her way to make it a special experience.

Food was good but customer service is terrible! Was told I would get a refund on a gift voucher over 4 weeks ago, but I still haven't had it and no one answered my messages anymore!

The portions that are delivered are getting smaller & smaller not worth the money now. Poor value.

Great little spot to get our hopper fix!

Brilliant food, loved every dish

Great staff and great food. Presentation, cocktails, etc all wonderfull. I let the kitchen pick my plates for me and I was not disappointed at all.

This was a great find the food reminded me of the food my Sri Lankan mother cooks absolutely delicious - the staff were lovely, attentive, kind and fun. Worth a visit great vibes - thank you.

Fabulous selection of food - love the option to be surprised when you can't decide. Great cocktails and great place to catch up with friends.

Service wasn’t great, agreed a price for bottomless brunch but then when we arrived they changed the price. The staff were quite rude and their bottomless brunch is very limited so would recommend going somewhere else like turtle bay if you want good food and cocktails

Yum yum yum! We ordered as a starter a Hopper with egg each, so tasty! We then orderred, as suggested, 3 dishes each and we had more than enough. I had the chickpeas, calamari, and Dual with a share of bread and sticky rice. Rack if my rusher were sublime and everybody else on the table loved what they ordered. We shared each dish including beef, pork, roast potato, beetroot, cashew curry, oh just way too much but each dish was excellent. If I get the chance to go back I would order just two dishes knowing that we would have plenty. £5 for a pint of beer or cider and cocktails on a rek for one, what more could you ask for?

Popped here for lunch time and opted for the bottomless brunch! Honestly could not fault! & it’s a huge saving especially when you order food let alone all the cocktails! Some which are on fire! Recommend for sure! Thank you Marina, who was super speedy, really helpful and happy.

🍻🍱Food and drinks was amazing, friendly staff especially marina and nisha gave us a nice service..🥂and atmosphere was great too, highly recommend to have a chicken kottu here it was at a next level !🍾🥂🍻

Had a awesome dinner yesterday. Quick service and food was yummy. Even we couldn’t customize the spice level as we want. Highly recommend the egg hopper and the black pork curry if you guys are dining here. Great place !!!

Marisa and Nina were wonderful, super welcoming and friendly and great with coeliac. Amazing food!

Food was nice although tapas style so we're encouraged to buy multiple dishes without seeing prices on the menu, service was an absolute joke, long waits with confusion and missed dishes, drinks took forever also.

If you're craving authentic Sri Lankan flavors served with a smile, look no further Coconut tree restaurant. Ravin and his team offer top-notch customer service that goes above and beyond. They are knowledgeable about the menu and always ready to recommend something delicious. I can't say enough good things about the food – it's flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. Don't miss out on this gem of a dining experience

Lovely food. Menu well set out and we had an interesting range of food Music turned up halfway through the evening was really loud…. so everyone started talking louder. Noise levels simply unpleasant for a nice evening out. We asked for the music to be turned down - it was a tiny bit but still really hard to hear the others at the table. Restaurant was half empty by this stage soo not sure why the music was so loud. Sadly we didn’t stay for dessert as it was uncomfortable to sit in the noise.

I'm not generally a fan of all you can eat/drink deals as they rarely work out but after reading the reviews for Coconut Tree we had to give it a go. AMAZING! The service was fantastic, one waitress (Marina) covered the entire floor and the restaurant was full but she was attentive and managed to look after everybody there so well. We left full, happy and keen to come back.

Worst customer service I’ve ever had.

Visited Coconut Tree Bristol (2 Byron Pl, Clifton) with high hopes, only to endure an almost hour-long wait for food, then inexplicably asked to wait outside in the rain. An absolute disregard for customer comfort and dining experience. The meal, when it finally arrived, could not make up for the dampened spirits and chilled expectations. A true letdown by any standard. Avoid at all costs if you value your time and dining pleasure.

Worst customer service I've ever experienced in a Bristol restaurant. After a nearly hour-long wait for our food, we were astonishingly asked to stand outside in the rain. Utterly unacceptable and disrespectful. The entire ordeal was a dismal display of disregard for customers. A complete disappointment.

Really great food. We were told to order 3 or 4 plates per person as it is tapas style, but we found that we really would have been better off ordering 2 or 3 plates per person and would have been just fine. The calamari, cabbage, deviled chicken wing, and chickpeas were a table favorite.

Really lovely food - highly recommend.

Great food and drink that came out really fast. Great service as well. One of my favourite spot in Bristol!

Brilliant Sri Lankan food that makes you feel like you’re back home in Sri Lanka. Excellent service by Raveen and Coops once again. Definitely will be coming back!

Lovely spicy Sri Lankan cuisine cobined with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. One of my favourite places to eat in Bristol.

Poor, everything too spicy and stone cold. Slow service, I realise it says food comes out when it’s ready but I might have well gone out on a different night than the rest of my table

Fantastic food, great cocktails, above and beyond service from Shaz

Delicious dishes/tapas, the goat and kale&cabbage for me was enough, but depending on your hunger you will need a 3rd dish. If you cannot tolerate any spicy food, be careful because even the ones thay don't have the hot emoji are spicy. Loud music which makes difficult to have a conversation with your friends.

Yummy food and great ambience. Would visit again for sure. 👍🏻👍🏻

We had an amazing lunch here, the waitress was really helpful explaining the menu. The Turmeric latte was a new experience and really enjoyable. The food is delicious, I would definitely come back.

Fantastic meal for my step sons 21st birthday! Allegra was great as was the bar man! They couldn't be more helpful!

Great food and service, good location near Clifton, Bristol. Would recommend as a different kind of dining experience

I wasn't sure quite what to expect as I have never eaten Sri Lanken before so went in very open minded. TBH, I left feeling disappointed, the service was slow initially, but then so many dishes were bought to the table, we did not have room for them all. There were 7 of us, and the drinks were bought to the table over about a 10 minute period from the first drink to the last, likewise with the meal, as one person had opted for a veggie option, her food was at least 10 minutes behind the rest of us. The food was OK, but not something I would say was memorable, we opted for the chefs selection, and sometimes it was only guesswork as to what we were eating. On the positive side, the portions were good, but it would have been much better if it had been spread out - Ironically, just as we were finishing up, they brought out about another 5 or 6 dishes. Perhaps we were there on a bad night, but concidering the price (around £35/head incuding 10 drinks in total), it wasn't cheap, the service wasn't good and the food was mediocre

Incredibly cool place. Delicious food, helpful service, music, nice colors and a good social atmosphere at the tables. Recommended!

Had a great evening here with a friend The dishes served were amazing, very tasty and authentic. Great service all round. They moved us from the high tables to a low tables which we asked All stall were very accommodating. And the atmosphere was great for a Friday evening eating out experience. We shall return.

A party of four, great and tasty food and excellent service. Can’t fault. I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back.

We went for the express lunch which had 4/5 elements each. It was delicious and we couldn’t eat it all. Staff were lovely and tracked me down when I’d forgotten my handbag.

Very impressed with the food. We ordered a mixture of meat and vegetarian dishes and all of them were tasty! The cocktails and beer great too. Staff were friendly and explained the menu really well and the service was quick. The portion sizes were larger than most tapas style restaurants I’ve been too which was a plus. The food is spicy so perfect if you like a kick to your food. This meal has made us want to travel Sri Lanka to experience the country and try more of the food!

We first saw TCT on professional come dine with me and we feel in love with the restaurant and the food, for our 23rd wedding anniversary we travelled to Bristol and it wouldn't be an epic trip if we didn't bring our food fantasy into reality. We can happily say that we were blown away bye the food, service and the cocktails. You need to eat at TCT you will not be disappointed and "marina" is a perfect host who's heart is at the centre of TC. We enjoyed talking about her grans recipe which is featured on the menu. Love The coconut tree and will definitely be visiting again and again. Food is where the heart is!!

Fabulous venue for a girls night out. Staff were friendly, efficient and patient. The food and drinks were served continuously to our large group and most importantly tasted delicious.

We were a table of 13 people and I wasn't sure how the £45 Bottomless deal would work. I needn't have worried, it was completely brilliant. The food was AMAZING, the cocktails were delicious and theatrical and tere was no hanging back with taking orders for more of both. Our server Marina was patient, friendly and effective. All the waiting staff were so friendly and helpful. Our 2 hours only started when we arrived (15 minutes late). Our whole party had a brilliant night and we'll all be back!

A great place to eat, although a little to spicy at times for me. Service was great and I loved listening to the 90s dance classics took me back.

Food was great but ruined by rude waitress! Came here for a graduation celebration on the recommendation of a friend and although the food lived up to expectation and was delicious, our over all experience was ruined because of the waitress serving our table. We were well aware our table needed to be given back by a certain time but despite this the waitress continually came over to remind us whilst we were eating that this was the case, which was understandably annoying. Once would have sufficed. This was even more frustrating as the some of the food took over an hour to come, which meant we had even less time to eat. Even once we had asked for the bill the waitress continued to harass us about people needing our table despite being before the time we were, on top of this we were waiting on the staff to bring us the bill to pay. Simply rude and unprofessional considering they were still expecting a 10% service fee.

Food was good, however terrible customer service. Came here to celebrate a graduation but had the evening ruined by the way we were treated. We were told we had to give the table back at 8 which was no issue as we aware of this when we booked. However then to be constantly told this every 5 minutes while we were trying to enjoy our food was irritating and just rude. We had only just got our last bit of main food after over an hour wait so was trying to eat as quick as possible. Then when we’re just waiting for our bill to arrive we’re told that the other guests were here and we needed leave in a rude tone as if we were causing a problem when it was staff fault for not being efficient enough with giving out bills and getting people to pay. I’m not sure what staff was expecting us to do just get off the table and not pay ? Would not recommend coming here plenty of other places around with much better service.

We visited for a large family and friends birthday night out after it had been highly recommended to us but unfortunately our experience was not a good one and got a lot worse the next few days…so on the night the staff were non attentive and we could not get their attention so they missed lots of drinks orders…. A cocktail elephant ‘mug’ had been broken and glued back together! Surely there are several heath and safety issues with that? The food was okay, nothing really special though. But the next day everyone that had had rice became ill with stomach problems.. fortunately the 2 people in our group in their eighties did not have rice but it could have been a very serious issue as the people that were ill took sever days to recover. I contacted the restaurant to inform them of the problem rice and they did apologise and said they would investigate as they have practices in place but they never bothered to get back to me. So we shall definitely not be returning or recommending the restaurant.

Had a great experience. Food was amazing and cocktails were something special. Service was brilliant, food came quickly. Lucy, who served us, was very helpful and explained the menu well. One of us was vegetarian and had plenty of vegetarian and glueten free options. Would highly reccomend.

Fantastic Sri Lankan restaurant in Clifton, Bristol. The black pork was sensational as was everything else. I love the fact that you have to wait a little longer for the food as the flavours have had that much more time to infuse. Great service and nothing to fault. We had a full meal for 6 with alcoholic drinks for £135 including the 10% service charge. I think that's very good value in Feb 2024.

The food is very tasty and service is really good

Rodney was a very friendly guy, amazing service!!

Food was wonderful, with a lot of variety and great flavours. Our server Rodney was very efficient and friendly and explained the menu to us as it was our first time. The tunes were great. Altogether a wonderful Valentine’s meal for my husband and I!

Rodney was a legend! Was more than happy to explain the menu 🙌🏼

Rodney was amazing as our server, he was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. And we got a complementary Prosecco! 5 stars !!

Rodney was great, good food and good service, we will be back

Super tasty food that came super quick. Will defo be back!

The devilled chicken wings were excellent, the Black Pork good. Chickpeas seemed a bit tame in comparison, not so many spices as the menu suggested. The roti bread was good, maybe it was the pickled green chilli/onion chutney on specials that made the chickpeas seem bland. Waiter knew his stuff and was helpful. Will return if in the area.

This place is great for family, friends, evenings and lunches. The food is great. I eat a Keto diet and this place is so wonderful because it's one of the few places I can eat out and look for the (very few) things I have to avoid on the menu, whereas most restaurants I'm looking for what I CAN eat rather than what I want to. Love it

The food was great! I'm definitely visiting again. I ordered a drink named Sriki Tiki because it sounded fancy. It was a surprise when they brought it to me, attached the video below😂. Cocktails are fancy plus good food.

This is a great venue to eat authentic Sri Lankan food. The hot buttered cuttlefish is delicious. Tasty food and friendly service. I will be back!

Food is incredible but DO NOT DO their bottomless brunch. Service is so slow, has a tonne of rules and you end up paying more for your food and drinks this way than if you just ordered as you went.

Black pork curry was AMAZING😋. Reminded me of home🇱🇰

Excellent food with great service. Make sure you get the Black Pork 🥰

Best place to eat in Bristol! Great atmosphere and great service! Milly took amazing care of us! Definitely very worth it!

Staff very attentive and informative. Loved our meal.

Our servers, Coops, Marina and Matt were great! So helpful with the selection of the dishes and advising what to order and how much to order. All the food was delicious and so tasty. A great experience all round thanks guys!

Loved the food! We decided to let our server choose for us - great choices, particularly the black pork. Would ask for rice next time as flavours were full on! Best service we have had in long time. Well done guys, seriously impressed - transported us straight back to Sri Lanka.

Our first time trying Sri Lanken food and it was absolutely delicious ! Would definitely recommend getting the calamari as it was our favourite. I don't usually leave reviews however the service was amazing so shout out to T who did an incredible job .

Really wasn’t expecting such an amazing atmosphere and vibe when I booked this restaurant last minute. Food was amazing, really enjoyed the calamari particularly. Staff were all so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere and decor were 5 stars. Thank you! Now please bring this restaurant to Ireland! 😂
