Been using this place for years through its many name changes and the food, certainly during our last visit, has gone severely downhill. Worse though, was when I pointed out to our waiter that there were three items on our bill that we hadn’t ordered. Be careful as this happened to a friend of mine here recently which is why I checked more carefully than usual!!!

Reasonable food. Over priced for an Indian. Quick service but they have the bare faced cheek to add 10% to the bill. Really off putting. I would not return or recommend

Truly excellent dining spot. Wonderful grand interior, attentive and polite staff. Food was delicious. Wine was great at a very reasonable price. Very accomodating at a very late hour, the only dine-in place still serving food and wine. Would absolutely recommend.

Average Indian, not horrendous, not amazing. We opted to go on a Saturday night, as a family of 4. Very attentive service! The meal was nice, but a bog standard Indian (felt more like a take away). If I could give 3.5 rather than 3, I would. Wouldn’t return but perfectly acceptable for a quick bite / post rugby curry (of which there were numerous fans doing!).

My wife and I have eaten here previously when it was called The Eatern Eye. When I visit Bath and I have time, this is one of my "go to" restaurants if I want a curry and the change of name hasn't changed my mind. Tasty, well prepared food, friendly, welcoming and attentive staff, together with a fabulous dining area, make for a pleasant occasion. Don't be put off by the underwhelming entrance and the flight of stairs ( the restaurant is on the first floor). It is worth venturing inside to at least see the dining area, which is large, airy and the decor will catch your eye. The tables have clean linen table cloths and menus are unmarked, a small but important detail in our view. We will return again.

Now the PEARL of INDIA. We have been eating at this restaurant, albeit under a different name for 20-30 years it was always reliably good. So a bit of a surprise to find it even better and very good value. The house red wine was only 5.50 and very acceptable. Popadoms the best Ive had with 4 chutneys again just a few £s. So whilst they are trying so hard- opened 6 weeks ago- you should give it a try. David & Trish

Had a meal here last night with my wife, and thought it was delightful. Going in we were unsure what to expect as it looks a bit dingy from the outside, but inside was a grand historic Georgian ballroom that was absolutely stunning. Thankfully it had delicious curries to match the decor. The Dhaka Lamb in particular stood out, and my wife loved her Tikka Masala too. The servers weren't particularly talkative, but the service was swift and friendly. Do not miss this place!

Love love LOVE this place, it's an absolute MUST if you are in Bath - amazing cuisine, really friendly people, and the location is perfect for touring through Bath. I genuinely cannot recommend it enough - and the price is really affordable too, especially so for Bath. I'm a big fan of the Jalfrazy but for those who can't take the heat as much - the Patia or Rogan Josh (or chicken tikka massala) are all excellent. Especially recommend trying the Bengali dishes and this place does them so well!

So if you have 4h in front of you, go for it. We got served after more than 50min waiting, 15 people is the whole room. I am not sure how they managed things, what is wrong with poeple when we tell them we have an appointment afterwards and want things to speed up a bit. For real, in which restaurant do you see all other people being served except yourself (2 people) for 50 minutes ??? So pass your way on this one, not worth your time.

Food was a disappointment but wasn't expecting much after seeing staff carrying in a big tub of Pataks sauce and a big plastic tub of ready made pappadoms! Bombay potatoes were hard and in a watery sauce as if they had been defrosted. My curry was very bland and I overheard a woman near me said to her husband this is white man's curry not authentic Indian. Even the coca cola was cheap and nasty. Staff were in jeans and t shirts so not presenting a very professional image. The only thing I liked was the naan bread.

Lack of friendly service, seemed like all the staff did not want to be there. Way over priced for the food received. Never brought water after many requests, had to go to he bar. When paying had the cheek to question why I don't want to pay the service charge and tried to charge me for a special Nan when it was a Garlic Nan just to make up for a tip I refused to pay, lieing to my face when I watched him on the screen. Bad vibes are never wrong. AVOID! Better options avaliable else where.

Joint worst Indian restaurant I have been to. Was really looking forward to it but from the very get go it wasn't great, placed a booking which they didn't appear to be aware of however had plenty of free tables. Poppadoms and drinks order was taken swiftly and all was good. We then had an uncomfortably long wait before our order was taken which can be understandable if they were very busy but they weren't and there was plenty of standing around. It was eventually taken and starter arrived in reasonable time. The starters were okay but nothing to write home about, not over cooked but a little slimey. It was after this it went really down hill when we had to wait over an hour and 20 minutes for our food to arrive. During this time we had a waiter come to our table once to ask for more drinks and when asking about the food he said he will check but failed to do so and instead went to do drinks for another table. After being there for over 2 hours food finally arrived but the evening was not redeemed. Rice order was messed up and 2 rice's weren't delivered, when mentioned the waiter went and grabbed one of the wrong types of rice and smoked it on the table before disappearing again. The dishes themselves did not reflect pictures others have shown, the 4 pieces of chicken I received sat about the sauce in the dish and for a £12.50 dish the quantity was concerning. Another form my group received less prices than the chicken takeaway starter. Meals were also laden with oil and the taste was distinctly average. The bill came wrong due to us not receiving the food we ordered and they still tried to bill for it. When questioned about the rice and how long the wait was they correct the price and removed £10 from the bill which was pretty poor considering there was a service charge of nearly double that so they still collected a tip despite an atrocious service.

Saturday night in Bath and such a disappointment . Restaurant was fairly busy when we arrived but emptied out whilst we were there. Poppadoms came and had the best lime pickle I ve ever eaten. They had run out of onion bhaji so didn't order starters due to limited veggie choice. It then took well over 30mins for our mains. No food appeared to be coming out of the kitchen in that time but the drinks did ! When mains arrived the veg madras had zero taste I've never had a madras like it ...full of grease/soapy consistency with broccoli , cabbage and zero potatoes and just hot (I don't mind hot but it was bland and no flavour ) . My husband s was good but there was no check in if the food was ok and by the time someone wandered over (they were more interested in serving beers ) my husband had eaten all of his. I complained and refused to pay for that and the non eaten naan. I was offered a pudding and I said I've not eaten anything ...why would I have a pudding!?! Not gonna go back. Shocking service all round.

Very central in Bath so easy to find. On our visit it had (clearly) just been renamed 'Pearl of India'. They also would only accept cash, a situation that we were advised was only temporary. The room where we ate was well worth seeing, large and quite a sight. The service was good and for standard Indian fare, the food was OK. My prawn puree starter in particular was very tasty. We told the staff serving we were not in a hurry so please could we have a rest between courses but unfortunately as they took our starter plates away they immediately served our mains. So, even with the restaurant not being crazy busy, we were in and out very quickly. I toyed with my rating as I wouldn't tell anyone not to go. The food was 'fine' and as standard as all run of the mill Indian restaurants. So i'm certainly not saying "don't go". But I couldn't give it a 4 out of 5 I'm afraid.

I did the chicken tikka taka tak off their signature menu and enjoyed it. It was pretty empty the day I was there, which was odd to me because I had read about it as a best place to go online. I paid cash as they’re not accepting credit cards at this time. It think it’s transferring names and/or ownership.

Firstly forgot to bring our poppadoms while people arriving after us received theirs. When food arrived it was mildly warm at best, Pilau rice was just boiled rice with peas and carrots in it, so not pilau rice! Choice of rice and Nan breads was very limited. I ordered a garlic Nan but got a plain one. Complained and they removed the service charge! Plus 15%. I have had much nicer Indian food and sadly will not return or recommend

Restaurant does reservations and walk-ins. We came at 10 PM on a Saturday and they still seated us for dinner. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. The owner suggested we try the papadam with spreads as an appetizer, we had never had it so he gave us a serving to try- delicious! Sweet to savory/hot spreads that were flavorful but not overwhelming. We ordered a traditional prawn biryani and a chicken tikka masala. Both were flavorful and fit their description profiles 100%. Biryani was served with a mildly spicy vegetable curry and the prawn/rice ratio was nicely balanced. The combination had a little kick but didn’t punch you over with heat. The chicken tikka masala was just creamy and rich enough and the chicken was tender and not outdone by the sauce. Rice served with the masala was perfectly cooked and tasty. Overall a great meal with professional but friendly staff. We left at 11:15 and only then realized the restaurant closed at 11 pm but they didn’t rush us or even hint to us or the other few remaining guests that we needed to ‘finish up’, there were still guests eating and enjoying themselves when we paid our bill. Definitely recommend you try The Eastern Eye when you are in Bath.

The unassuming entrance in Quiet Street meant you had to go up a grotty set of dirty carpeted stairs that put me in mind of queuing back in the day to get in a stale, cheap end club in the eighties. Totally unwelcoming. Anyway, on entering through some skanky doors you are in a large vacuous hall which the owners describe as lofty with grandiose décor. To be fair, with some serious investment this place could be spectacular; as it is it’s dirty, outdated, tired and beyond underwhelming. Naff wood carved bar area with naff neon lights, odd ruched and dirty curtains hanging off the wall and oddly not covering a window, cheap laminated wall signs everywhere; more of the same filthy red carpet; you get the drift. Strangely the place has 100+ covers but the meagre 25 of us dining were sardine packed into one small area. Obviously for the benefit of the serving staff and not the customers. So far this is as enjoyable as getting to a waiting room seat at the dentist. Redemption in the food perhaps ? This is what you might call old school Indian with its weighty and over promising menu. Poppadom’s were average and, to be honest, too oily tasting albeit the standard array of dips and chutneys were slightly better. We had a dry Chicken Tikka which had zero plate appeal and zero taste and served with that useless and totally inappropriate accompaniment, the half-hearted salad (why ?). My lamb Mon Passand house speciality curry was okay but the Peshwari Naan was a disaster. It was undercooked and as floppy as the rim on Gandalf’s hat, and no doubt, as tasteless. I sent it back, with no quibbles from the waiter, and to be fair the replacement was much better. This place just doesn’t cut it and is an ageing relic belonging to yesteryear. It might work for a group of pissed up students at ten in the evening in need of a hole filler before a night out but that’s about it. Shared poppadom’s, two mains with rice and a naan and a large Tiger beer and water was £55 all up including 10% service.

Outstanding hospitality. Quite possibly the nicest owner/manager you could hope for a restaurant. My partner and I have just had an amazing meal, great recommendations and fresh and tasty food. Highly recommended. Lovely atmosphere, we will definitely return

Had a lovely meal here. Went here once six years ago and I remembered it being excellent, and I'm pleased to have found that it still is. Kind and helpful staff, fast service, plentiful food. Next time I'm in Bath I'll be going here again!

What a miserable and disastrous experience! Miserable staff, angry, unfriendly, no atmosphere, awful food, the manager was aggressive to us when we complained, my tandoori was grey and cold, the pilau was just boiled rice and the naan was colourless filled with grey lamb and impossible to eat, avoid at all costs!

Went here for a birthday meal yesterday. Was unsure at first due to it being so hot outside, but luckily the restaurant had air conditioning and was cool inside. The dining hall is absolutely stunning. Huge big domes in some grand looking hall. Prices were reasonable for the venue and portions, and most importantly, the food was incredible! Some of the best curries we'd had. Was recommended the garlic chili curry instead of my typical madras, it was perfect. Chicken super tender. Rich spicy garlicy sauce. A friend had nowabder instead of his usual tikka masala and again, hit the spot. Mild, richer and creamy like a masala but with cashew nuts blended in. Other meanls were as good. Service was decent. Overall highly recommended! Made my bday feel that little bit more special.

This restaurant seems to have two names, the Grand Eastern and the Eastern Eye. First impressions when you walk up the stairs are wow, because of the three glass domes in the roof, the murals and the huge restaurant. After eating here, I can understand why it was so empty on a Saturday night. No complaints about the service and the food portions were a decent size but the curries were swimming in oil (particularly the chicken mon passand) and lacked any depth/layers of flavour. Suspect the ‘lamb’ was actually mutton in the butty kebab starter. Meal was expensive overall due to the added service charge and extras such as £7.50 for two poppadoms and chutneys. As previous reviewers have said, the stairs leading up to the toilets are grimy. The loo I used had Blu-Tack to keep the lock in place. The whole experience was that the place needs a deep clean/redecorating. My friend also said there were dubious plants he could see growing from the windows of the men’s toilets! Unlikely to return, sorry.

After several days of eating pub grub around the south of England, my family was ready for a change of menu. We walked into the Eastern Eye, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside and the food and service were exceptional. Hard to ask for anything more.

Long past its heyday and all communal areas grubby, smelt of fag smoke and whole place has not been cleaned in a long time. Food, small portions and lukewarm, nothing special., place was virtually empty on a Saturday night. My concerns were such that I...

I am writing this review from the restaurant here. I brought my girl for a date and the waiter literally grabbed her plate before she could complete her meal. I told the waiter to give us just 2 minutes, it is a Monday evening 4 hours away from closing time. He still had the audacity to tell her to take her last bite and snatched it from her. Minutes later the same guy brought the dessert menu shamelessly. I am sorry, it broke my heart when he grabbed the plate from my girl. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Popped here with my niece who lives in Bath as I had an overnight business stopover. The service was soooooo slow. After the initial poppadoms and chutneys it took about an hour for the mains to come out. The food when it arrived was average...

What a lovely find on a trip to Bath Lovely interior and a super meal. The only thing I would say that needed attention was the toilets and the thread bare carpets on the stairs. Otherwise lovely.

Awful…. Delivery driver was rude as he couldn’t find address (yet have plenty of other things delivered and no problems finding me!) Chips were cold, hard and could not eat and we ordered a kebab and a wrap… hardly any meat, again freezing cold and tasted awful! Will never order again

Be prepared for: Prices 20-30% higher than shown on menu! To pay £7 for pint of Coke Zero! Pay for any extra condiments! To be left waiting while they prioritise and deal with takeaways! Curries that taste like casseroles/stews with frozen vegetables & partially cooked naan! A LOT of BS from the manager/owner! No wonder this place is always empty! NEVER again!!

Had a takeaway Friday night and have to say it's got to be the best around. Would definitely recommend it.
