Basmati

An unexpected gem of a restaurant, in terms of the food and service, tucked away in a Bristol suburb. The decor is tired, the menus tatty and poorly printed, but the "special lamb chops" were absolutely delicious! The spice tray with the poppadoms was varied and delicious, the poppadoms themselves light and dry, not greasy. We both had lamb dishes - the Tal Lamb was beautifully tender with a mild flavoursome sauce and both rice dishes ( pilau and vegetable) were very tasty, with an imaginative mix of vegetables in the latter. But the tandoori marinated lamb chops were the stars of the evening - clearly there is a talented chef in the kitchen who really knows how to use herbs and spices! Our friendly waiter was attentive and yet relaxed, even though he seemed to be working on his own.

I eat at curry houses all over the South West, I always try cuisine when I'm in other countries. I booked a table, took my young children who were made welcome, the owner and staff are attentive and lovely, nothings too much trouble, they made me an off the menu dish and it was easily top 5 curries I've ever eaten, kids had a korma, they made a half portion for my 5 year old, they also were very impressed. Come here you won't be disappointed.
