"The first thing you realise as you enter this place is: it's full! Then, sequentially, the following truths dawn upon you: a) all the guests are Indian b) there are singers and there is live singing c) all the staff is Asian After this, nothing else matters much. I ordered a tandoori pomfret (noice) followed by mutton kadai with lachcha paratha. Also, a fruit mocktail. The waiters were clearly overworked. My server was Amit, but others helped too, such as Heena and Saurav. The crowds were singing along with the lead singer... Both male, and female. Nice food. Great ambience."

"Food was excellent. Some of the best Indian food I have had in London. However the service was a major let down. Social distancing was not observed. The staff were not wearing masks over their noses, negating the purpose of the mask. They did wear gloves, but didn't change them between customers (which I agree is pointless), so there is no point in wearing gloves. We were less than half a metre from other tables. We had to ask 5 times for some water. We were rushed through our courses and the bill was given to us a matter of seconds after finishing our main. We were then told to leave immediately, although we still had drinks remaining. Found the staff to be rude. Wouldn't go again."

"If you're planning a visit to Bristol for a short getaway, business trip, or if you're considering relocating, this restaurant is a must-visit! The atmosphere is great, with fantastic rustic decor. The food is amazing, bursting with flavor. This is not your typical British curry house, but rather a place that serves Indian street food, offering authenticity to your meal. We tried a sharing platter, which allowed us to sample a variety of dishes, all of which were delicious and not overly spicy. For mains, I enjoyed the butter chicken from Delhi while my partner had the Goan fish, both of which were fantastic and full of flavor. The fish literally melted in our mouths. The naan bread was not the usual stodgy half loaf, but a thin cheese and chili naan, which left us feeling satisfied but not uncomfortable or too full. The service was excellent, despite it being a busy Friday night. We recommend booking a table in advance, which was easy to do through their website. There is plenty of seating inside, with additional outside seating, perfect for summer evenings. If we ever find ourselves in Bristol again, we will definitely return to this restaurant."

"The food was good, but a bit expensive for the portions. You don't have secondary dishes if you want some vegetables to order a main quantity to get something. No high chair for children. Service was okay, but definitely not great. They made a mistake with the order despite repeating twice. When the food arrived and an article was missing, they said we didn't order it. We asked ourselves again (and it came fast, what was great) but we were for both that we received, and those that we ordered and not received. Luckily we have carefully examined our invoice and received a refund for double payment."

"I would like to start off my review with praise for the staff and the decor of the establishment. I absolutely loved the unique decoration of the inside of the restaurant, from the strobes of multicoloured lights, the glass mosaics and drawings and the Afghan Styled (as I had been informed) seating in the lower end of the restaurant, which was not made for our family style but we are very sure is much appreciated by those who do use it. The staff was very helpful for my visit, I would like to thank the waiters and the hosts who were always alert for their kind hospitality, as well as the chef 's for their nice food. in my most humble opinion, the food was very good, though could be improved. Overall I 'd give my visit a mediocre 7/10 and will definitely recommend this establishment to families and friends. follow me for more reviews on restaurants x"

"Chutneys offers a great vegetarian lunch buffet. It is one of a small number of restaurants on Drummond Street doping so, and a fraction cheaper than some of the better known names, but the food is every bit as good and offers excellent value. There's a good selection of cold salads often centred round pulses with warm onion bhajis and roti to start the roti were the only slightly disappointing part of the whole meal as they were a little tough ! . Main dishes includes lentils, chickpeas, mushrooms and cauliflower in distinctive curries, with rice and a good selection of pickles. And there's also dessert with milk jellies and a nice variety of fresh fruit. I had a sparkling lemon and mint drink made to order not from a can it was very nice too, but slightly expensive. But they will just provide you with tap water, and also sell lassis. Note that it's not vegan I heard another diner ask which dishes were, and most were not vegan as many contain yoghurt or ghee. But for vegetarians it's great! Note that the buffet is not served at weekends, I believe."

"Thank you Melanie Phillips for your review of this establishment. My family are booking purely on the back of this review. It's about time restaurants took a stand on allowing dogs in. It is unhygienic and some people even lift them up to the table gross habit. There should only be officially registered guide dogs allowed in restaurants. I understand during the day some cafes bending the rules but surely dogs can be left a short time while you eat a lovely meal without dog hair. Well done spice house you've got our business Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"I had a great experience at Bombay Bicycle Chef. I ordered the Chicken Biryani, Squid Rings, and Cheesy Naan, all of which were delicious. The 50% promotion definitely made the meal feel more worthwhile. I'll need to check the actual prices to see if I agree with their value. The Mango Lassi was incredible, though I was disappointed that they did not serve cocktails or mocktails. I would definitely return!"

"Excellent meal, as always. Portions are generous and it always arrives freshly cooked. We visit this Bangladeshi restaurant quite frequently and of the view that the food is hard to beat. Until recently the restaurant didn’t hold a liquor licence and guests could take along their own alcohol, which was always a real plus for keeping the costs down. They didn’t even charge a corkage fee which was always a bit of a surprise. Our visit the other night was a shock to learn that, under a new owner, alcohol has now to be purchased from the menu (although regular guests are told they have some grace time to learn of this). In my opinion this is a mistake and will certainly impact upon our decision to attend as frequently as we did do. The absence of customers (we were the only ones in there) on what should be a busy night might support our view. Such a shame to lose this rare benefit at what is otherwise an excellent culinary experience. If it had to change, introduce a corkage fee, rather than abolish ‘bring your own alcohol’ you may live to regret it!"

"Last night I ate at the south bank tandoori with a friend who is dad, recommend the restaurant. we went to a impulsive decision after we decided that we felt too lazy to make our own dinner, so we decided to spend money that we had not, oh student life! we arrived at the very full restaurant and managed to get a table for two immediately. it was jam, a good sign for promising eating. we had a series of options on the menu from which we chose a selection. they have taken the ones to my friend a kartoffel corma rather than chickens (as it is vegetarian) very nicely. the service was a little strange, they explained that they were understaffed, but the team of the staff...read more"

"We went to this pretty traditional Indian restaurant with a good friend to visit London. We chose the menu for two for £27. For that price you have onion bhajis, then a chicken tika masala and chicken curry with a side of sag aloo goa. We ordered an extra portion of taka dal. The sag aloo dal and had a good taste but the curry was quite sosa and I'm not sure they were just made. The service seemed a little ropy sometimes too much, especially when one of the waiters connected to my friend as he finished his start. I had the general feeling that the waiters were more interested in ensuring the orderly development of liquidating tables of the comfort of their comensals. In general, the quality of the food does not reach the cost that ended up being 60 pounds for two with wine. There are certainly other Indian restaurants in the Notting Hill and Bayswater area as they deserve our best."

"I dined at this restaurant on Saturday evening with five friends after receiving a recommendation from a family member. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find that the restaurant was empty except for two other diners, and the lighting was very bright and unwelcoming. Despite the initial setback of the staff being unaware of our booking and not having a table prepared for six, they quickly rectified the situation and we were attended to by a very attentive waiter. Our food selections were excellent, but the waiter's recommendations were even better. I would recommend this restaurant, however, the ambiance could be greatly improved by adjusting the lighting and upgrading the tableware. Adding tablecloths and candles would also enhance the dining experience. A more welcoming atmosphere could potentially attract more customers."

"Upon arriving at Gurkha Village, one might initially feel uneasy. Located in a converted pub in a run-down area, the restaurant's appearance is not very inviting. Despite booking a table for Sunday lunch, we were the only patrons there during our meal. The staff, although attentive, seemed to have no other customers to attend to. The decor and menu lacked any distinct Nepalese influences, which was disappointing as that was the reason we chose to dine there. It seemed like just another Asian restaurant in the Medway area, where competition is fierce. As for the food, it was decent. The lamb pasanda had a nice smoky flavor that was not overwhelming. It was a refreshing change from the usual curry house options. I tried the chicken dhansak, which also had a unique fruity taste. The dining area and bathrooms were clean, and I can see Gurkha Village becoming a popular takeout option for locals in the future."

"This restaurant is absolutely perfect! I went for the first time during my recent visit to the area and had the most wonderful meal. The restaurant was immaculate and I really enjoyed being able to see the kitchen through the large window. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and the food was incredible. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant on our next trip to Birmingham."

"Had dinner here tonight and it was absolutely delicious. There was a great vegetarian selection for both starters and mains. I had the chana puri and paneer masala which was so good. Portion sizes were just right, naan bread was lovely and the drinks were very extensive and everything was reasonably priced. The atmosphere was calm and at ease, something which is hard to come by these days, and the staff were attentive, humourous and engaging. We didn't go here during the government's Eat out to Help Out scheme, but all I can say is that Mumbai's Diner Club was not only cheaper but better value than the places we did go during August. I'll definitely be back, I've still so much of the menu to try!"

"I had a wonderful birthday meal at this restaurant tonight. After returning to the area, I took a chance on booking a table here because it was a favorite spot from my childhood and I even worked here for a few years as a young adult. I was delighted to find that the bar was just as welcoming and friendly as I remembered, and even some of my old neighbors from my childhood greeted me by name, which made me very happy! The food was exceptional... My friend and I started with momos, served by the friendly waitress, Sonia. The mixed grill and lamb vindaloo were absolutely delicious! We had to take some home because we couldn't finish it all. Thank you for a lovely meal- I will definitely be back soon."
