"We are not usually the negative review writing type, but having visited the Brunel Raj tonight, I felt strongly that this was one time that I would. Myself, my partner and a couple of our friends, visited this restaurant at 6.30pm tonight. My partner is visually impaired and as such, has an impeccably behaved, assistance guide dog. As we came through the door, one of the staff asked that the dog be kept outside? Even though the dog was wearing the high visibility guide dog harness, I politely informed the staff member that it was an assistance dog, and that it should therefore be accepted onto the premises. The staff member, who claimed to be the manager, then said that he knew guide dogs were permitted into restaurants but as his restaurant was small and busy, he would be refusing us entry, even though we had booked. As we have experienced this situation on a number of occasions previously, we are quite used to restaurant owners being unsure of the Equality Act in the UK. But this situation was different. We have not previously been met with such a lack of common decency, rudeness, or any compassion for the feelings of the person using the assistance dog. The complete absence of any respect or understanding from all of the 4 staff present and during this situation, has now led me to write this review and to follow this up further via other channels, in order to prevent others from experiencing this again in the future. Oh.. And by the way, the restaurant was virtually empty."

We turned up at 733 for a table at 730 and they have given the table away and did not offer us another table. Awful service.

Genuinely the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. They have the most unfriendly people in Bristol working here, the atmosphere was really creepy and they got our order wrong. The food was also not good. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Still the best traditional Indian (Bangladesh) restaurant around and served with smiles too. Tandoori mixed grill is delicious. Nov 2023, still spot on. January 2024, the best mixed grill ever. April 2024 Lamb Korai (sp) totally delicious....Madras hot might be even better?

The food at this restaurant is consistently excellent, and the service is equally exceptional. While we typically opt for takeout, a recent visit with a large group proved that dining in is just as enjoyable. The food was delicious, the service was quick and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. The only downside was the noise level, likely due to the low ceiling. Despite this, it remains our go-to spot for Indian cuisine in Clifton.

Sadly after a couple of years enjoying the Brunel Raj I've had to revise the rating down to two stars. On the last visit the music was punctuated by regular adverts and even more annoyingly, loud phone notifications (presumably takeaway orders). There was also a damp smell throughout the restaurant. I couldn't comment on the food as we left before ordering, having paid for the drinks. The manager didn't seem bothered and we went round the corner to Nutmeg which was very good.
