Urban Tandoor in Bristol, City of

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

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!

Next Level! Best last meal in Bristol till next time📈

Came here for the 1st time for my gf’s birthday where she was showered with free drinks and desert. Lovely service and the food was amazing

I had my 30th birthday meal here with my partner, everyone there were all so lovely! I was given a free drink and dessert (along with a happy birthday played over the speakers, hahahah a lot of fun.) The food is amazing and I cannot recommend this restaurant more. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing ambiance with great music choices

Super friendly staff and food was superb. Lamb shank was so good meat literally fell off the bone and the mixed grill was best I have had. Well worth every penny

Friendly staff, great tasting food. Can taste the freshness of the naans.

Great experience and food was exceptional! Thank you so much - it felt like I was finally back in India in terms of taste. 🙏

Came to celebrate getting a new job and Urban Tandoor did not disappoint. Quick reply to booking, delish food and a surprise free drink and card!

Met up with family in Bristol and chose UT based on reviews, we weren't disappointed. Great atmosphere even early evening, friendly welcome, very efficient and helpful service, excellent food, healthy portions, long queues waiting to get in as we left.

Great food, decent prices and went all out for my friends birthday, thank you for a lovely evening. Vegetable samosas were INCREDIBLE

We booked for 16 of us as a family get together, table was booked for 6pm and we didn’t get seated until 6.20, we sat down and within 10 minutes are food was coming out we didn’t have time the popadoms we had ordered, the food was nice but we barely had time to finish our food and they where clearing the table, then at 7.30 we where told we needed to get off our table because it was booked out wasn’t given any time to finish our drinks we had, we where told to finish them in the bar area where there was nowhere to sit or stand because there was other parties waiting to be seated. Was very disappointed with the service when I spoke to a manager he wasn’t interested. Can’t say we will be returning.

Nice food. Excellent and friendly service.

Lovely experience at the urban tandoori!! Yummy peswari naan

The curry here was the best curry I’ve ever had! It was called Palak Kofta. Spinach, paneer and onion dumplings in a creamy tomato, cashew and kasoori sauce. You can’t beat this curry!!!

Incredible service, the food was unbelievably good and the atmosphere out of this world. The team went above and beyond with their amazing service and Jessica was phenomenal with her violin. Apparently Carol Vonderman was there but I don’t know who that is. Overall, 10/10 would come back again asap!!!

Great service and fantastic food

such a beautiful restaurant with lovely staff and amazing food! the service was really quick and the drinks were lovely. will definitely be going again !!!

Food came super quickly and it all tasted amazing! Great service as well- would definitely come again

Beautiful restaurant, really nice atmosphere. The food was amazing, all of it. The garlic naan was really light and full of flavour. Peshwari naan also very nice. I had chicken tikka masala which was lovely. Highly recommend.

Good food, good beer selection, great service.

Amazing vegan Indian food and lovely service 🤩❤️

This place is amazing ! Wonderful food which is well priced. But best of all the service is fab ! So super friendly :) xx

amazing staff, so happy i spent my 18th here. played happy birthday in the restaurant too, it was so amazing and would love to come again!

Brilliant food and service thank you soooo much

First off. Poppadoms £6!!!!!! This is a curry house sin. Should be free I’m sorry. Also no mango chutney with it. However, lovely staff. Everyone was top drawer nice! My Chicken tikka Masala curry itself was a bit bland. Chicken was hard and the sauce was just sauce, no vegetables. Naan bread pretty good though. Won’t be rushing back I’m afraid

Attentive service, good value, extraordinary atmosphere and decor, recommend!!!

Came for the fun instagram content, will definitely be back because of the food.

Food was lovely and service was perfect. Only thing would have been the tikka masala may have been a bit too tomatoey for my liking but I’m sure it’s just a me problem rather than the food. Would definitely come back again and thank you for a lovely evening.

Really great food and really friendly service, would definitely recommend

Excellent service, friendly staff, delicious food, cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended

Very attentive to there customers and surprised friend with free cocktail and dessert for their birthday

Top quality curry. Food comes out quick. Nice big portions and reasonably priced for a better than average curry house. Service is quick and good. Nice and lively spot. Always busy so best to book. Check out their social media for a good laugh.

Lives up to its great reputation. Would happily come here again. Food and service delicious. A iconic place within Bristol.

Always well taken care of, staff as always are attentive to every detail and so welcoming! Perfect meal out

Very friendly staff and good vibes!

Not my first visit and won’t be my last. Absolutely beautiful food, with helpful and friendly staff, nothing is ever an issue even without having booked a table, cannot recommend enough. 5⭐️ every time.

Attended here New Year’s Eve. They had a live violinist which was fantastic. The food and service was amazing. I will certainly be going back

Lovely place , everything good :)

Awesome food and amazing staff who treated my daughter very kindly for her birthday! Thanks Urban Tandoor!

Came from cardiff to celebrate New Years eve and had an absolutely amazing time. Food, staff and atmosphere was fantastic. So welcoming and friendly and the violinist was amazing. Thank you everyone at the Urban Tandoori.

Had an amazing meal at urban tandoor on small street will definitely be coming back soon thank you

Wonderful dining experience and phenomenal vibes. Staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Definitely will be revisiting!!

As a fan of Indian dishes, this place offers a wide range of recipes from south to the north as the chefs coming from Madras and other regions of India

To be fair, while the taste is not bad, the portion is too small⚠️ and hence not a value for money. Paneer Tikka for example only had 3 cubes of paneer as a starter, maybe plated well, which made it no real value for money @ £ 7.95. The rice was also too less in quantity as against the Dal Makhani, which was still ok for the portion. They didn't have Veg Biryani on the menu but offered the same anyways. As a regular traveler in different places and having Indian food in different corners of the world, I think it's over hyped for the experience and portion, but good for the taste! By the way the mirror at the back wall is quite confusing, walk with caution!⚠️

Very nice Indian restaurant, great attentive staff, really great food. Loved the vindaloo, spicy and deliciously seasoned.

Amazing!!! Noisy, lively and lovely, with amazing food and service. Well recommended!! Go there if you are anywhere near Bristol!!

Came for a night in Bristol from Wales and had heard good things about Urban Tandoor pre booked via their website. Was amazing, surpassed my expectations, so much atmosphere, music, decor, full house, staff so polite and helpful with advice on what to order. Was my husbands birthday and he had a song and a cake along with many others!! Don't expect I'll be having Indian food with such flavour until I come back next. .....and that won't be long.

Fantastic experience as always, thankyou for having us!

Incredible food, great atmosphere and the staff are one of a kind! Great experience ❤️

Very nice place, very friendly staff. The food was very good but they could improve a lot on the quality of the raw materials, especially meat and fish, whose flavors did not particularly stand out but were covered by the flavor of the other spices

Delicious 10/10 food, great atmosphere, and we received a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary, which was a lovely gesture, it made our evening.

Came because of the viral videos stayed for the amazing food! Perfect level of spice and friendly service

The food was so good and flavorful, and of course the songs on social media are on point! Would be amazing to see a live show 😁

If you're looking for Indian with refinement, this is one of the best restaurants in the city to find that. Truly authentic dishes, executed to perfection, lovingly presented and served. The staff are always a delight and the atmosphere is buzzing

From the outset the welcome was warm, lovely atmosphere, great service, food was fresh, beautifully presented so delicious flavours. The deserts were delightful.

Delicious food with a limited, but plentiful, selection. Service was great... Very quick and without fuss. Restaurant has a good atmosphere with plenty of buzz and dim lighting. Really enjoyed my visit.

5/5 lovely meal really appreciated the complimentary drinks and dessert

This place was very dark, could barely make out the floor as we were seated. As it's quite a small restaurant, the noise of other customers nearby gets quite intense. The calamari I had to start was awful, I think they forgot to season it with anything. However, the mixed grill I had afterwards was superb. Massive chunks of lean meat, and very well cooked and seasoned. Service was fine, and prices are okay.

Wonderful birthday meal, staff were lovely and the food was great

Had a great time. Food and service was on point. We were honoured to be served by our Nepalese Curry Sherpa, Ragu. Namaste

A large group of us went here so we pre-ordered the food. The food came very quickly and was pretty good (no real complaints about the food). The place was jam packed and really loud. I was unable to hear what the person opposite me was saying. As soon as we were finished, we were rushed out the door as they needed the table for another group. Like I say, food was good, but was super busy and loud. Maybe I'd come again, just at a time when it was much quieter.

Really good food, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Really recommend to anyone visiting the city

Came here for a Christmas doo its very hyped up online wouldn’t say it met the expectation food is ridiculously spicy for mild curry however the food has lots of flavour and the food comes out quickly

Incredible food, went for a Nans birthday and they sang happy birthday with cake!

First time in Bristol and wanted a curry, found this place online and the photos looked nice Food was tasty and the service was excellent 5 stars

Had a really nice meal. We even got a free piece of cake as it was my girlfriend’s university graduation, which was also really tasty

My first visit to an Indian restaurant and I couldn't be happier - staff was helpful with recommendations and explanations, the food was amazing and I'm now eager to try it again. Definitely recommended.

Delicious, great service, superb naan

Good food, quite expensive but amazing service and brilliant attention to detail! Fantastic hosts👌🏼

Absolutely loved Urban Tandoor. The food was flavorful and authentic, with chicken tikka masala being a standout. Great service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Had a blast celebrating my graduation dinner. Can’t wait to come back!

Fab food, fab service, fantastic atmosphere. Best Indian I've eaten by far !!

I eat lots of curry, they did not disappoint, awesome all-round

Excellent food, friendly attentive staff, highly recommend x

Awesome. Food was exceptional, and I told them I was here to celebrate my graduation and they gave me a drink and a slice of cake... Super friendly, welcoming restaurant.

Great place, friendly staff, cosy vibes, lovely food. Impeccable tunes! What more could you want?

Fantastic place. Highly recommended the lamb shank

Had a lovely meal at Urban Tandoor, which we had heard of through their amazing social media presence! The food was delicious, staff were attentive and the restaurant itself is very nicely decorated. We will be back!

They moved my table back half an hour a couple of days before our reservation, try when we arrived it wasn't available and we had to wait in a cramped reception space. Staff didn't seem to know what was going on. They were friendly enough but on a number of occasions when they asked how we were, they had already started moving on before we had a chance to speak. Food was good if a little on the small side for portions. They were clearly rammed and trying to squeeze as many people in as possible which does not make for a good experience, which is a shame and we didn't hang around. Just had a mains and left, in and out in less than an hour. Felt like we were a hassle for the staff otherwise we would have happily had three courses. Also, full or not, they have squeezed in as many tables as possible in there. Go for the food but not the experience or ambience

Had a super birthday meal .Brilliant atmosphere .will be back .

There is no way they got 4.7. The staff service is bad. When we were assigned a table, the staff never said we had to finished at 19:30. He may talk to his colleague but not to us. When we were ready to go, the staff just pushed and scolded at us rudely. Repeatedly said they informed us the time to finish. When we ordering the food, never gave us time. Then when we asked for anything for non-spicy, never gave an answer or any proper suggestion. Never go to this horrible restaurant and dont think they welcome customers. Dont waste time.

Great atmosphere, really good food and fantastic service. The price did not reflect the service at all, it was way too cheap

Gorgeous food! And great service too. This place is definitely a cut above the rest: great people, food, service, atmosphere. Can’t recommend enough!

Really spoilt us for our one year anniversary. Would highly recommend

The service here was absolutely fantastic, amazing and polite staff who couldn’t do enough for you and made our wedding anniversary so special. Great food as well, the lamb was beautiful, thank you Urban Tandoor!

Gorgeous food and lovely people who made our meal super special - thank you! Will definitely be back :)

A good place in Bristol to go for Indian food - servers were helpful and advised on which dishes would be spicier and more to our taste. Food was good, and big portions. Very quick service
