"the bristol raj has now reopened. this was our first visit after shutting off the lock, but we were often before. first, they have deeply cleaned and removed the table cloths so that they can wipe between the customers. they wear face masks when they serve them and run a visitor's book as required by the directive. the restaurant was sadly empty and needs its support. I'm sorry that previous posters had a bad experience. honestly, apart from nutmeg in clifton, which is significantly more expensive, we find bristol raj to be the most consistent and tasteful. you just have to find your favorite and then you're in the curry sky! we had the raj murgh. yes, it did not quite meet the description and was sweet, but was full of large pieces marinated chicken breasts and had a Tamarind sauce with fenugreek finish. it has mango chutney in to thicken, not msg, and tasted beautiful. it was mild, not the 2 chili rating, but they can easily repair. the best for me is the king prawn chilli chingra murg (I think it is called). large juicy garnels, beautiful sauce loaded with finger chili, it is like a chili minenfeld! my fave. they have kingisher on tap and also have bottles of other drinks. they are also in order when they bring themselves! In summary we think that the bristol raj is far better than others before place. it is a very basic place, but the prices reflect this. they get very good quality eating and a warm welcome."

"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"
