54-46 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 As per title Its my lad’s 16th soon and he loves a Ruby. Been to a few in town but usually at the end of a night on the beer so wondered if anyone could recommend one that’s a bit special for a “proper” evening meal. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 My personal favourite is the Raj Bari on Hotwells Rd. Just a short walk from the many bars/pubs around the docks and the Bear in Hotwells. I rate it highly and haven't been to a different Indian in Briz for ages but I'm sure there are others that are just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Urban Tandoor sounds like it meets your requirements. Centre of town, nice venue and has picked up several awards in the last few years since it's been open including best curry house in the UK. www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/bristol-curry-house-officially-best-775273.amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks As @Kid in the Riot says, Urban Tandoor is great. If you want something a bit more upmarket, the Mint Room in Clifton is amazing, if pricey: http://www.mintroombristol.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54-46 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks all. Was thinking Mint Room and have heard good things about Raj Bari in the past Have been to Urban Tandoor a while back but wasn’t overly impressed. Perhaps I caught them on a bad night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I have only been to the Urban Tandoor once, but I thought it excellent. Not been to Mint Room, but have only heard good things about it. Lal Jomi (sp?) was always excellent, but since I last went there in 1990, every chance it has closed and the building is now a Starbucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Tandoor, in Small Street, is indeed very good, with excellent service and food. Nevertheless, I think I prefer the food in Lal Jomi - I'm assuming you mean the restaurant on the corner in Redland - but, in all the years I have eaten there, I have never once been seated at my table at the time reserved. I must have spent hours sitting on those chairs in the reception area, and never once has there been even a hint of an apology. So. for a special event, I guess I would plump for UT, especially as the surrounding area is far more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paprika and Blue Ginger are both pretty decent, but prob looking to go a bit more central Had some crap food and service in Paprika a few years back, once Blue Ginger opened it became a regular haunt and I’m still friendly with the lads who ran it. The other night popped into Paprika as it’s changed hands and the food was great, had Naga Mirchi, will definitely go back. Going over to Saltford on NYE to see the lads in Golden Moments, never had a bad one in BG when they had it and the new guys aren’t too bad. Away from Bristol, I like the Eastern Eye in Bath, fantastic high ceiling in an old building and have always had good food in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerred Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 If you don't mind traveling, The Indian Accent is an amazing Indian Restaurant. It's about £150 for 4 courses a head and is by far the best Indian Restaurant in London, if not the UK. The one in India, is classed as the best Indian Restaurant in the world. Definitely worth a visit if anywhere near Mayfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I know it's not in town but the pink one in Queen's Road by the Wingrove in Keynsham is good. I like The Clove off North St (went there for my birthday a couple of weeks ago). We used to go to one by Old Vic in town, that was good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you're prepared to travel then look no further than this place, i used to travel up regularly, well worth it. They don't sell alcohol in the restaurant, but they own the off license next door and you can BYO http://www.adilbalti.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdog Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 although deep in enemy territory perhaps The Guru on Gloucester Road is well above average when it comes to a local curry house , its my daughters favourite and must go to place , and believe me she is a fussy mare .

On one occasion some years ago, I booked for six, and they gave us one table for four and put two of us on a table on the other side of the restaurant until a table for six became available for the main courses.
