The best restaurants serving Indian food in South West

If you ever wanted to go for authentic indian food than please try to come at indian Tempataion and have a thali. I can recommend this.

This was our first visit, and we will certainly be back. A very comfortable dining room, and attentive service. The food was very good too.

Very good quality, thoroughly enjoyed the food and it arrived promptly.

A "Thumbs Up" from me. Indian Sodas - Thumbs Up and Limca Their is only a subtle difference between these drinks and their western counterparts (coke and lemonade). Thumbs Up is flavoured with sugar instead of high fructose syrup, and consequently their is a caramel note. Limca as both lemon and lime juice in it's recipe which adds a subtle tartness when compared to Lemon Fanta I would recommend getting one for novelty - however they are by no means necessary for your experience here. Squid Koliwada (Small Plate) It is not everyday that you find fish on the menu at an Indian - much less squid. Intrigued and feeling adventurous I ordered it. The squid itself was well cooked and crucially it was not too thick nor to thin. Too thick and it is too rubbery - too thin and it feels that you get all batter. The sticky spicy sauce was tasty and added a Thai note to the dish. Ample spring onion and chilli ensured texture and flavour changed throughout the experience. Nannwich - Chicken Tikka (Large Plate) I was not in the mood for a curry and decided to try this novel menu item, however this is where Bandook let itself down; Firstly - the filling of the sandwich was lukewarm. I imagine this is on account of preparing the food of my other 4 colleagues, and neglecting to put the item under a heat lamp, or at least, forgetting to remove the top part of the naan, shielding the filling from the heat. Secondly - the filling itself left something to be desired. It was incredibly dry. Vegetables and chicken tikka, but no sauce! I was provided a thimble of tomato ketchup, but it was not sufficient to lubericate the contents of the sandwich. Thirdly - the ketchup itself was an odd paring with naan bread. Perhaps a korma/dopiaza style sauce would lend itself better. Overall 4/5. Would recommend - but don't have the nannwich.

Excellent service, the food was tasty and hot. A great selection to opt for from their menu, with an additional drinks menu. Good pricing ranges through their whole menu. We didn't book in advance and they still happily accommodated us.

We ordered a take away as an absolute treat. Checked their food was gluten free - which it is besides Onion Bhajis and Naan. The food is so good I couldn’t eat it all! Lack of UHP to stop me eating a delicious curry. Nice one Red Rose!

This is an amazing restaurant with fabulous food and amazing value. We were a party of 28 that were staying at the Ashbury Manor and booked here for a little excursion. The welcome we received was fab and the food was really tasty and extremely good value. To serve so many without pre-ordering was impressive, too. We will be returning next year and won't hesitate to book again. Recommend this place to anyone.

We go to this Lovley restaurant quite regularly and always thoroughly enjoy our amazing food. Lovley staff and owners, they always ensure we have a 10/10 experience and are so friendly. Would definitely recomend to anyone and everyone as you can never go wrong. 😊

I used to frequent this restaurant over 20 years ago and thought I would try whilst in the area. I was not disappointed. The restaurant is as good as ever! From the moment we entered the restaurant, the staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. The food was so flavoursome and plentiful and so reasonably priced. I cannot recommend Refa highly enough. Superb!

This is the best Indian food within at least 30 miles in any direction. I have been to so many different indian restaurants and take aways from Bristol, to Dorchester, to Minehead and everywhere in between and yet Blue Mango are still the best by far. Their food is always sensational in taste, freshest ingredients and meats, never disappoints and always leaves us craving more. Every weekend, our treats are a Blue Mango and although you can no longer eat in the restaurant, the food is still superb and the staff, boss and chef are wonderful and friendly as always. We choose to collect our food as we enjoy speaking to the lovely boss and chef when in and of course Niki in front of house and even the delivery driver who is always a laugh when he's there. Could not fault their service or their food one iota. Thank you so much Blue Mango for years of great food and service. Catherine

What a brilliant experience.Ten of us and all very happy definitely will be back.

Exquisite food - the masala dosa and green mango curry were incredible. Exceptional service too - ice cold glasses, hot plates, friendly handshakes - small gestures which didn’t go unnoticed and made an impression. We’ll be back!

First takeaway from Namaste. Disappointed. Will stick with Tale Of Spice as nicer tasting butter Chicken and Bombay Aloo and more free accompaniments.

We have been going to Arjee Bhajee for a year as our go to takeaway. Food is always great and lovely staff.
