“ This is probably the BEST Indian I have ever had in my life! It doesn’t look like much from the outside but the interior is so cute and the service was amazing and then to top it off was the incredible food! My chicken was delicious and the most perfect amount of spices and my husbands duck was cooked to perfection! ”
“ Jess was very helpful. We were originally seated in a very claustrophobic seat right at the back and Jess reseated us somewhere else very kindly. She then continued to be very helpful throughout our meal. Thank you ”
“ Ordered from this little gem of place, okay fine THE husband owns it — but still, WOW. Let me just say, if I could marry the Koliwada prawns, I would. Crispy, spicy, perfect. Paneer tikka? So good it made me forget paneer is technically just cheese. The tarka dhal and beef madras had me sweating and smiling like I was in a complicated relationship. Garlic naan and lacha paratha? Soft, flaky carb therapy. Lamb chops? Tender enough to make a grown man weep. And don’t even get me started on the spinach saag basically health food disguised as flavor bomb. 11/10, would dine with myself again. ”
“ A true taste of India, right here — bold spices, rich aromas, and warmth in every plate. ”
“ The staff and their service was excellent. They could not have been more accommodating and attentive. The food was really nice, we had a friend who didn’t really like spicy food, and me who really likes it. Everything tasted amazing - see my terrible photos of it. Everyone ate way too much and it was amazing. I would say it got really hot at our table in the back. Not sure the AC was firing on all cylinders - just being a bit picky. ”
“ Great place for a curry! Not your standard menu items but that’s a positive thing! I came as a group booking and the staff were very attentive despite the restaurant being very busy! The food was absolutely gorgeous too and plenty of it so definitely good value for money. Thank you! ”
“ One of the better restaurants in the posh areas of Bristol. A truly modern Indian. Great atmosphere in a chic setting, a bit pricey, like expected, but well worth it. The shank was coming out of the bone, beautifully cooked, so tender! Both curries we tried were delicious and just the right amount of spice. PS: you need to book a table; there is easy parking nearby ”
