Urban Tandoor in Bristol, City of

We visited this place after enjoying their TikToks. The food and service were both excellent. I had a chickpea and tofu curry and my partner had a chicken tikka masala - both were lovely, as were the sides. We will definitely come back!

Amazing food and great service, Urbsn Tandoor is a must in Bristol!! ❤️

Lovely food great service big portions

If I could give 0 stars I would. By far the worst takeaway I've had. Tikka Masalla tasted like ketchup, portions were stingy and very watery paswari nan and Garlic nan tasted the same. Ruined my night

Delicious food and excellent service. Great range of dishes to choose from. Like calamari and monkfish, as well as staples like lamb saag.

Wonderful food, staff and service. Would recommend and return.

Friendly staffs, delicious food

My first curry in Bristol and it did not disappoint! I ordered the chicken madras and the palak kofta, both of which were absolutely delicious. Staff were all lovely and food was bought out quickly despite it being busy. Will definitely be returning when I'm next in Bristol!

brilliant food, brilliant service and kind staff. This place has amazing reviews for good reason, the food is balanced, portion sizes are perfect and prices are great too! veggie and vegan options available, and really yummy! truly can't fault the place. Next time I'm in bristol I'll definitely stop by again :)

Delicious food and plenty of it!! A fab place to eat if in Bristol

The first thing that hits you when you walk in is the atmosphere dimly lit, romantic, and beautifully scented with incense. It’s an ideal setting for a cosy date night. The onion bhajis were absolutely perfect, crispy, and full of flavour, and the poppadoms made for a brilliant start to the meal. I’m actually writing this while still sitting at the table, eagerly waiting for my main course. So far, I’m genuinely impressed!

Great meal. The staff were amazing and so attentive. Will definitely be back.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Food is delicious. Menu isn't huge like a lot of places but it's quality not quantity here. That said, the portions are a good size. Good allergy knowledge (coeliac) and so good to be able to have the poppadoms as they are gluten free.

Lovely waiter! Excellent services!

It’s amazing the the food was amazing

Lovely food, fantastic service and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Great food from a really friendly team. We were the only table there as we went early and felt like we were treated so well because of it. Even given a free dessert for my dads birthday!

tikka masala and buriani rice was delicious , nan bread it’s ok ,

Brilliant as ever! Awesome food and great service. Honestly the best curry in Bristol. And a free dessert for my birthday - what more can I say!

The butter chicken is the best one I’ve eaten in the UK (and I’ve eaten a lot of curry). Certainly recommend - The reviews are genuine and it’s worth the hype

Absolutely delicious!!! Fast food service - the butter chicken is an absolute must!!!

Went to urban tandoor last evening with my colleagues. Didnt take much pictures as the ambiance was a bit off due to dark. The food was superb 10/10. Everything we had was upto the mark and super delicious.

Had an absolutely lovely experience at this restaurant! The food was incredible – we had the Safroni Nighari Ghost Lamb and the Chicken Tikka Masala, both packed with rich, authentic flavours. I also tried several naans, including the cheese and garlic ones, and I can honestly say I’ve never had naan this good – so fresh, soft, and perfect with the sauces. I had the Mango Lassie, which is their alcohol-free mango cocktail, and I absolutely loved it – sweet, refreshing, and full of flavour. The service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience was just wonderful. Can’t wait to come back!

A Wonderful Dining Experience Food: An exceptional culinary experience. Living in Paris, we rarely come across truly authentic Indian cuisine, so we were genuinely impressed by the rich, genuine flavours offered here. The dishes tasted wonderfully traditional, with a level of spice that was bold yet balanced – just enough to be flavourful without overwhelming the palate. As a Mexican, I particularly appreciated the warmth and depth of the spices – not overly fiery, but beautifully aromatic and satisfying. We ordered the Safroni Nighari Ghost Lamb and the Chicken Tikka Masala – both were excellent. The lamb was tender and deeply infused with flavour, while the Tikka Masala was creamy, comforting, and perfectly seasoned. We also added two naans – one garlic and one cheese – both freshly baked, soft, and ideal for soaking up the rich sauces. To accompany the meal, we tried the mango cocktail, which was absolutely delightful – refreshing, vibrant, and bursting with tropical flavour. Service: The service was impeccable. The staff, particularly the waitresses, were exceptionally kind and welcoming. The overall atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed. Orders were taken promptly, drinks arrived within seconds, and our starters followed shortly after. The cleanliness of the dining area, including the tables and floors, was noteworthy and added to the overall positive impression. Price: Surprisingly affordable. I genuinely wonder how they manage to offer such quality at these prices. For under £20, the lamb dish was outstanding – something that would cost well over €40 in France, if you could find it at all, and it would likely be marketed as a sharing dish for two. Final Thoughts: A fantastic team offering genuine hospitality and wonderful food. We’ll certainly return the next time we’re in Bristol – hopefully tomorrow, before heading home, if time allows.

very good experience and yummy food！

Nice food!!! Garlic naan is awesome!

Brilliant service, great curry, the restaurant decor is great, will 100% be back!

Stacy's mom has tasty poppadoms ❤️😉 and Urban Tandoor was a perfect bday meal for our trip to Bristol

Great service and the staff were amazing

Great food and service. Spinach and onion barjis were very tastie. Had a Dansak which was excellent

Had great food here, plus excellent service and lovely touches to celebrate a birthday! We will be back!

Fantastic dining experience! A great place for family outings with authentic and delicious food. Cannot recommend enough!

Excellent food and service. Good environment. Seems authentic.

Always amazing food, and amazing staff! Check out the tik tok if you haven’t, 10/10 marketing Love the atmosphere in the restaurant and the vibes with the decor

La comida era fantástica, los naans eran algunos de los mejores que he tenido. Tenía un naan de ajo y era fantástico y los peshwari de mi amigo eran igualmente buenos! Pero sobre todo el servicio era de primera categoría! El personal de camareros hizo la experiencia extra especial para nosotros, atento y respondiendo a cualquier pregunta. Le pregunté a nuestro camarero Carlos cómo cortan el poppadomss por la mitad (les sirven por la mitad) y él estaba más que feliz de preguntar a la cocina cómo lo hacen! (Resultó que la mitad antes de freír! ¡Quién iba a decirlo!) de todos modos no puedo cantar sus alabanzas lo suficiente. Mi única crítica si tuviera que hacer nit pick fue que el pickle no era como me gustaría, lo tienen liso en lugar de grueso. Recomendaría para cualquiera que esté en Bristol y le apetezca un curry!

Incredible food and atmosphere, great to meet everyone from their videos!

Tasty food at a good price.Loved the lamb biryani, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Service was decent. Worth it!

Had a great night for my mates birthday

Llamamos sin reserva y eran muy agradables y nos dieron una mesa, tuvimos un servicio muy rápido, la comida era muy agradable, aunque pensé que las porciones eran un poco pequeñas en mi opinión.

This is a total gem of a place. A friend and I popped in on a Tuesday night and were able to get a seat within about 10 minutes despite the place being very busy. The atmosphere is excellent, and the venue just looks fantastic, and we got a great seat looking across the restaurant. I had the lamb shank special, which was huge.... you do not need a starter. My friend had the guinea fowl, which looked incredible. The food was so tasty and so well made. Staff were super and very attentive. Would heartily recommend this. The place had a very lively atmosphere and felt like a party going on. Brilliant.

One of the nicer Indian restaurants in Bristol. The lamb shank and staters were excellent

Great restaurant with friendly staff and very welcoming for a birthday celebration

Came to celebrate my birthday after discovering Urban Tandoor on TikTok, and the team couldn’t be more welcoming. They gave me a few birthday freebies too, which was totally unexpected! And best of all, our meal was delicious. Fresh paneer 👌🏽 best peshwari naan 👌🏽 scrumptious all round.

Full marks, full marks, can everyone eat it? Okay！

It was a lovely experience. Delicious food, it was my first time having Indian food and it was Lush. Very affordable too

Muy buena selección de comida india. El Tandori Gambas y Salmón es el mejor! No te lo pierdas. Algunos platos están demasiado fríos... Está muy lleno por las noches y a veces es demasiado ruidoso para estar allí con su único ser querido... Los precios son razonables.

A great resturant in the heart of Bristol. Delicious food and great service.

Excellent service, stunning food!

If you want an overstimulating rave whilst you eat dinner, this is your place! The food was unbelievably average, the service was good, super friendly staff so that is 5/5. However the lights continually flashing on and off, the full blast celebratory/birthday music (so loud you can’t actually speak to anyone) feels a bit over the top when you’re just trying to eat your dinner! The tables are crammed in next to each other (we had to squeeeeze in just to get into our seats, not very accessible). We managed to see the funny side (what else can you do!) but unless you’re drunk and looking for a place to be loud and rowdy, I would not recommend! Most overrated restaurant in Bristol, they clearly care more about what they look like on tik tok than the actual food or atmosphere of their restaurant!

Good and reasonably priced food. The portions are more than sufficient and there are a lot of friendly members of staff.

Not just a gimmick on social media. Really good food and really great staff.

Ordered the tandoori mixed grill, saag paneer, and garlic naan. The portions were generous and reasonably priced. However the lamb and prawn were unfortunately overcooked and tough. The chicken was tender. We did not enjoy the spicing of the tandoori meats. It felt like they were not marinated (as they were tough and the outside spices were not soaked in), lacked complex spices and flavors, and were unnecessary hot because they were coated with cayenne powder. The saag paneer was ok.

Great food, good service, chilly environment.

Fab night out for a 21st birthday. Lots of fun, great food, great service. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience. We came all the way from Dover for a weekend away and had to eat here after watching their videos online. The food did not disappoint at all, and the staff were great. Would definitely recommend

Lovely food and staff were amazing

Bhindi, Goan Fish Curry, Garlic Naan and the most amazing Onion & Spinach Bhajiya. Had a great time after long long time. The dessert at the end was really a cherry on the top to make our Monday Blues more Glowyyy

I rarely leave reviews but felt like I should. 3 of us came for a meal at urban tandoor. Firstly I will say the food was amazing, really fresh and tasty and just great. BUT The service wasn’t great at all, we were left standing around in the foyer for about 15 mins, no one told us what was happening or when we would be seated. Once we got seated there was no real service at all, the waiting staff were obviously very busy and trying to deal with lots of things at the same time. We had no cutlery on our table, we were not given any plates for our pappadoms and no serviettes or anything like that. Every 15 mins the music went really loud and the lights all flashed and there was a song like happy birthday or congratulations played. While I understand this is all part of the fun to be honest it was pretty off putting. We came to urban tandoor because we had heard that it was great experience but we ended up leaving feeling like we had been pushed through a machine. Having said that I’ll again say how great the food was, not cheap but good value for money given the quality. Next time I think I’ll get a take away though.

Amazing food and fast service! Recommending to all my friends who are all coming back next weeks’

Great food, best curry I’ve had in a long while!!! Will definitely return 👍

Fantastic food and ambience. Highly recommend all the starters.

Great food, service and atmosphere! Would recommend!

Amazing food! The waiters were lovely and very good service. We were treated to a complimentary drink and dessert due to a birthday celebration. The tofu curry and garlic naan were exceptional.

Decidimos visitar a eso de las 3 pm para un almuerzo tardío, interior muy oscuro más adecuado para las vibraciones de discotecas. Sentí mucho frío, pregunté si el aire acondicionado se podía apagar y dijeron que sí, pero no hizo mucha diferencia. La comida era muy buena, tenía el pescado goan curry con peshwari nan y mi amigo tenía un plato de langostinos y salmón también muy agradable. Sin embargo, fue estropeado por la cámara fría.

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in Bristol. 10/10 food, 10/10 service. The staff are honestly amazing.

The food was delicious! The employees were also friendly. I think a meal like this for this amount of money in the UK is very cost-effective.

Amazing and authentic Indian food and super kind staff!

Lovely food, good service throughout, lovely vibe. Did a little treat for our stag do as well.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent

Always brilliant at urban tandoor, thank you!!

Came for the genius marketing - will come back for the insanely delicious food and great atmosphere

I have no idea who's giving this place a good rating. Small portion sizes, the food was OK at best, hence why it's not a 1-star review. The service was pretty good though.

Solid Indian food, good service, friendly staff. I'm not used to the butter chicken being remotely spicy though, this one was too spicy for one of our party, which was unfortunate. Madras was good though

Amazing place, Nice staff and Amazing food. I would definitely recommend everybody to go to this restaurant!

Second time here. Food is exceptional, proper top quality. Had the Calamari starter which was light & refreshing. Followed this with the truly outstanding Lamb Shank. This was divine, absolutey top drawer. Would highly recommend & will most definitely return again....Quality

I'm giving them 3 stars for the starter, which was really amazing. I ordered the main course from the vegan menu. The dish wasn't flavourful; it said spicy, but it wasn't really, and the vegetables were not fully cooked.

Acc amazing food and service you HAVE to go! Social media is funny aswell

Lovely time had by all!!! Well done Mr tandoor

Nice decor, food is okay. Dishes spicy despite the menu not indicating heat

After a warm greeting, we were shown to our table and given menus and our drinks order was taken. They arrived promptly and after a few minutes, our food order was taken. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we were very kindly given a complimentary drink before our starters arrived. The food was absolutely stunning. Presented with care and so fresh. You could taste every spice in each dish. The staff were attentive and informative. We even had a chat about how the dishes were prepared and where many of the ingredients are sourced. I seriously can’t fault our entire experience so we look forward to returning soon with friends. The whole afternoon at Urban Tandoor was flawless!!

Food and service was amazing. We did feel a little rushed but I understand it was Valentine's weekend so they were very busy.

Booked via the website messaging service and confirmed booking by the restaurant almost immediately. Was seated quickly and orders and food / drink arrivals were very prompt throughout. The food and customer service from the staff was exceptional. This is the second time I have been here and both experiences were very positive. Highly recommend this restaurant!

What a disaster of an experience. Bad table then changed even though we had booked. Rushed to order then before we even finished eating were told the next guests are here and we couldnt even have desert. Cant remember what the food was like it was to quickly over. And we were frozen sitting by a kitchen vent. So be careful they over book weekends if you want to sit down with friends and family for a nice chilled dinner.

Amazing staff with a delicious food . Very cosy We definitely coming back Highly recommended

Liked the warmth, vibes and prompt services . Enjoyed being there

Lovely food very nice people great service they even gave my wife a birthday dessert

Wow! Spent the weekend in Bristol For my birthday and the Uber driver told us to try here!! Insane atmosphere- food stunning and everyone so friendly. Thanks for the birthday shout out and cake!! Really appreciated it. Come to Swansea!!!

This review is for Chinese people, the service here is a bit like Haidilao.

good meal, have a couple criticisms: - most of food very good eg excellent naan but would not recommend butter chicken masala, it lacked taste - didn't get to enjoy some of pretty lights advertised as was sat in overflow seating just down street, although still fair decoration

Great food, unusual dishes. Very spicy but delicious flavours. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Went for a birthday celebration, lovely touch with a complimentary drink and dessert. Would definitely return great atmosphere and restaurant overall. Reasonable prices too.

Such a lovely find! Restaurant spotless, food tasty and the staff friendly, knowledgable and kind (even with a rather loud and cheeky child in our party!) thank you, we will be back! Recommend the jalfrezi and tikka masala along with the sides.

Urban Tandoor is wonderful! We came here for our wedding anniversary, and the staff could not do enough to make our celebration feel special! We got a free cocktail and a a free dessert. The atmosphere in here is charming, the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food is absolutely delicious. The Lamb Rogan Josh in particular was sublime! Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful food, lovely setting and very friendly staff. Will be back 👌.

Amazing. Lived up to all expectations! We have been intending to visit for a while, but don’t eat out often. I’ve also been out for meals with work next door at the Beirut Mezze, and often thought that Urban Tandoor looked great. The superb Instagram videos have certainly drawn our attention to the place, and this evening we decided to take the plunge and visit for our anniversary. The team looked after us very well. The atmosphere is great; they’ve put a lot of effort into the decor and it pays off. The food was amazing, and the team were happy to answer questions about the menu. The service was great too. We will definitely be back, and I’ll be recommending Urban Tandoor to my colleagues for our next team evening out! Thank you!

Amazing food and great service!

Bit of a victim of its own success. I've been a few times and really enjoyed it but last couple of times the poppadoms were stale and my butter chicken was overcooked this time. It was very busy and loud as well. I recommend going lunch time based on my experience, as that was the best time I visited both vibe and food wise.

Staff were welcoming and happy to talk, advise me on the menu and accommodate my immature palette. Friendly, professional and attentive. Just great. Wonderfully tasty, flavoursome food. Great atmosphere. Eye-catching decor.

Came for my birthday on the weekend - great food but exceptional service - thank you for the drink and dessert on the house - it was a lovely touch and generous. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Very kind staff and waitress on Sunday was very welcoming and nothing was ever too much. We will be back!
