The best restaurants serving Indian food in Bristol, City of South West

Had samosa chatt. I went to the one near tobacco factory. It tasted amazing, the lady gave me the spicy sauce bcs i wanted it to be spicy haha would come again 🩷

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!

Service was very prompt and food all came out delicious - even better than we expected. Cocktails were also great and affordable during happy hour! Best place for Indian cuisine in Bristol that we have tried yet. Will come again!

Probably one of the best curry’s I’ve had for ages! We booked a late table 10.15 but the service was great, when the curry arrived we were blown away !!!!!! The lamb saag was so tender and the chicken bhuna cooked to perfection. Honestly don’t hesitate to go here it’s exactly how curry should be. Well done guys absolutely fantastic!!!

Food was really good and tasty. Fast service and good drinks.

Absolutely blown away by our experience at Salkaara Street. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, and the atmosphere immediately set the tone for what turned out to be an incredible meal. The interior is absolutely brilliant — the walls are decorated with traditional Indian film posters, which gives the place so much charm and character. It’s vibrant, fun, and full of personality, just like the food. Let’s start with the service. Viven, our server, was outstanding. An absolute gem of a guy with a cracking mustache to match. He was attentive without being overbearing, checking in on us throughout the evening to make sure everything was spot on. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does, and that made our experience all the more enjoyable. Friendly, professional, and just a genuinely nice bloke. Now, onto the food — every single dish we had was exceptional. I started off with a mango lassi, and it was exactly what you’d hope for: cold, creamy, and incredibly refreshing. It was the perfect way to kick things off. The poppadoms arrived next with a trio of chutneys. I was especially taken with the mango and red sauce — sweet, tangy, and bursting with flavor. The mint sauce was just as good, cool and herby with a perfect balance to the spice. Honestly, I could’ve just kept eating those all evening. The Agni wings were a real highlight. Packed with flavor and heat, they had just the right amount of kick to get your tastebuds going. They were so good I found myself chewing on the bones at one point, not wanting to miss a single bit of that fiery, rich marinade. Next up, I had a lamb naan which paired beautifully with the chicken tikka I ordered. The naan was soft with a slightly crisp edge and filled with that deliciously spiced lamb. It went down an absolute treat. The chicken tikka itself was perfectly cooked — tender, juicy, and infused with that signature smoky tandoori flavor. Served with a portion of pulao rice that was fluffy, fragrant, and just the right texture, the whole dish came together beautifully. The sauce that accompanied it was rich and savory, tying everything together into a truly satisfying main course. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The food was delicious, the portions generous, the ambiance vibrant, and the service absolutely top tier. A special shout out once again to Viven — if he’s not running the place, he should be. The man knows how to look after his guests and clearly takes pride in making people feel welcome and well-fed. Great food, great service, great price. Salkaara Street has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorites. I’ll absolutely be back.

We had a great time at Namak for my wife's surprise birthday dinner. Namak were very accommodating and somehow managed to squeeze 18 of us into a private room upstairs. The food was amazing and they were flexible with our food and drink requests. Prashant and Mayank especially took good care of us throughout the evening. Overall, it was a v fun place for her birthday celebration. Would recommend Namak if you've got a big group and want delicious food with a warm service.

Awesome local spot very overlooked and well priced generally not very salty but very tasty tend to add some salt at home

He estado en Desi en muchas ocasiones, nunca deja de complacer mis papilas gustativas y mi apetito. La cantidad correcta de porciones por el precio, variaciones suficientes para hacer una comida de tapas todavía. Cierra los ojos y piensa en la cocina casera. Quién puede pedir más.

Had a great meal. Fantastic waiter. Recommend.

The best takeaway I've had in a very long time!

Great food, served and presented somewhat better than other Indian restaurants. Having been a couple of times the food and service were top notch.

Had a delightful evening in this lovely restaurant.The food was simply divine.I have never eaten a Lamb curry that was so tender.Thank you all again for a fabulous meal.We look forward to dining with you again

I stopped by for a casual dinner and was pleased with the food. The spices in the curry were well blended, and the service was both efficient and friendly.

One of the biggest beer gardens on the fishponds road. Really friendly staff and they even do table service outside!!
