It gives off an impression that each dish has been cooked with such care and consideration, and it felt like they were cooking for you, and only you, a brilliant personal touch. Because it has just opened the reputation still needs to build and I think they need to make the whole place feel a bit more like a resteraunt, sort of a bit bland at the moment, but I think if they carry on how they have started out then the people of fishponds will have a new favourite indian resteraunt!

Due to my once favourite restaurant, Bhujon, loosing its classic traditional touch that I loved in…read morefavour for plastic (which I really hope they'll reconsider!), I decided to venture out and try this new restaurant. I went with two Indian friends, and being English myself, they did have their work cut out perhaps. So we liked the ambiance, you could forget that Fishponds high street and all its chaos was right outside which was good. However, the waiter literally had to be probed within an inch of his life just to get a basic opinion of what he recommended. (I know, I know, I'm lamenting on the beautiful charm of the staff in Bhujon) The basic starters were good, mixed kebabs with salad. Always a winner. The waiter was rushed and abrasive when he served the meat, so there were glances going around the table by this point. Unfortunately the main courses, Bengal lamb and sylet chicken were odd, and bland. My friend was hesitant at giving her opinion and did not want to be rude, but when later she spilt some of the curry sauce on her purse, her response of "Now my purse will smell of that awful curry", pretty much summed it up! It has potential, but every restaurant needs to make you feel welcome, or you'd just order takeout. Not sure if I'd give it another go. Perhaps I shall just look back fondly at how perfect Bhujon once had it.

Radhuni is an Indian Takeaway located in Fishponds, Bristol. They offer a free delivery service if…read moreyour order is over £12 which usually takes around 45minutes to arrive. You can also collect your order within about 25minutes. The food here is delicious. Every dish tastes freshly cooked and the staff serve with a smile. The takeaway arrived hot and they even accept cards which is handy for such a small takeaway. Price wise, Radhuni is fairly reasonable, with a mixed grill costing £8.80 (not including rice) and a chicken korma £4.70. Rice is £2.50. The portions are a good size, with there usually being a little left over for later! There is also a good variety and number of dishes on the menu and there is a large choice for vegetarians. I would however like to see some sort of desserts or Indian sweets as there isn't any on the menu. In all a really good Indian takeaway with a fast and reliable delivery service.

Guy who called himself a manager (name was sahil) was extremely rude and unhelpful. He said he has paid £7 an hour to driver so he is not going to refund our money or give any kind of compassion.

Definitely my favourite Indian restaurant in Bristol, we keep coming back and would definitely recommend it.

3.5 stars The menu…read moresays the proprieter, Raj, is well-known and has been all around the UK. I think he's either left the kitchen or lost his touch as this Indian food isn't up to scratch. There are highlights, but it's the low-lights that make this an average establishment. Now, for a residential neighborhood it's a pretty nice asset to have on your doorstep. In fact, we drove a few miles to get here. But with a poor chicken curry dish, lumpy oily rice and a old garlic naan bread it's not the best curry in Bristol. The highlights are the lamb curry, and tandoori trout which was a big dish and moist and crispy. Add the good service, nice decor and fair prices Raj Mahal might be on your favorite list. I think I'm going to still look for another curry house to call my regular. Four of us ate well and had a couple of half pints of beer for £50.

As we had chosen to dine at around 6.30pm we found the restaurant to be quiet and mostly occupied…read moreby fellow couples. Therefore, after our immediate greeting, we found ourselves seated in a quiet corner at a spacious booth table. The choice in decoration is subtle and relatively modern, but without the overt flamboyance often found in ultra-modern decoration in Indian restaurants. No light shows, indoor fireworks, or waterfalls are to be found here. First impressions suggested a professional dedication to service and attentiveness from the staff, an emphasis on subtle atmosphere due to dimmed lights and the type of music usually found in Indian restaurants playing at a low background volume. A seat away from the main door and bar is recommended as this restaurant provides a take-away service which is apparently very popular, and a combination of long queue and a door in near-constant action may not be too every diner's satisfaction. Immediate service was fast and attentive: within less than a minute of being seated we were presented with an extensive drinks menu. I am no expert on wine and shall not attempt to claim to be one, but I could see from the list that many variations were available; in addition to lagers, spirits, mixers and soft drinks. A large cool glass of lassi is of particular recommendation for diners who find themselves defeated by a thoroughly spicy dish. While waiting for our drinks to arrive we were presented with the main menu, which contained the usual diverse Indian favorites of such an establishment, with the addition of some interesting special items. The menu provided gratifying explanations of each dish. Those seeking vegetable dishes are well catered for with the extensive options available on the menu, in addition to the special Thali vegetable option. Skipping straight to the main course we were presented in good time with our choice in lamb passanda and Kashmir chicken. The lamb was clearly fresh and of good quality, its rich texture and taste perfectly matching the mild yoghurt sauce with coconut and almonds. The Kashmir chicken was mild as promised, but without the degradation in taste which often accompanies a dish of this type: the chicken was of good quality and in plentiful quantity, and the banana and cream sauce with almonds was rich and thick. The mushroom pilau rice was large enough in portion to share. For side dishes we chose sag aloo and chana masala. The sag aloo was one of the best we have ever sampled: it was neither too greasy nor too dry, and the potatoes were soft and in large quantity. The chana masala added some spice to our relatively mild choices in main meals. Our breads (banana and peshwari) were a satisfying mix of crispy and soft, while also warm and flavorsome. All of our choices were presented well and clearly designed with a sense of uniform in mind. Having finished our main meals, a waiter was at our table within no time at all to clear our dishes and check how the meal was going so far. Eyes being considerably larger than our stomachs (which is often the case for many I'm sure in most Indian restaurants) we passed on dessert, although we could see from the menu that many varied options were available. The coconut ice-cream was particularly tempting. We decided to approach the bar and sort out the bill, not because we felt abandoned but because we wanted to leave and enjoy a much-needed after-dinner stroll. The restaurant host, after having asked us how our meals were, organized our bill and gave us a couple of chocolate mints to see us on our way. The host delegated the actual payment of the bill to a member of waiting staff, who during the card payment process asked if we would like to leave a tip, which I felt was a little uncomfortable and unnecessary. Leaving a tip is the diner's option and this should never be prompted. Due the large number of staff on hand, combined with their overall attentiveness and dedication to good service, neither of us felt as though we were waiting an uncomfortable period of time for an order to be taken or a request to be met. We did not feel rushed and we did not have to deal with constant intrusions and interruptions. Overall it was a pleasant experience, although we dined during a quiet period and perhaps the atmosphere would have been less comfortable for a couple if we had decided on a later time and would have been sharing the restaurant with groups. We shall definitely return.

Shadins has been around for what feels like an eternity. Or to be more precise 19 years. I was…read morelucky enough to be brought here as a teenager by my parents not long after they opened. And I have returned many many times. They are very friendly and they will litterally bend over backwards to accommodate you. They will even cook you a curry thats not on the menu providing they're aware of it. Seriously my favourite Chicken Tika sag pathia is the bomb ! If you like it spicy and sweet with plenty of sag goodness. The decors ok as small curry houses go , the service is second to none and they are BYO booze so no nasty large bills at the end. And in my opinion they are without doubt the best curry house in Bristol. Its deffinately the best I have ever had and trust me ive had more than a few ! If you haven't tried it try it !!!! Oh and the poppadoms and pickles are to delicious. Proper nice homemade lime pickle... I think I may just go back again tonight !!

The food was ready in about 20 minutes (very good considering that we are a party of 10). Just as we were about to leave the owner came out and asked us to wait for a couple of minutes as they thought that it was possible (but unlikely) that an item had been omitted from our order because they were cooking two large orders. An extra bag was produced which included the item in question and a pile of poppadoms and a selection of chutneys! Needless to say, the "missing" item had been included anyway but such an approach demonstrates exceptional service. The quality of the food was superb, the portions were substantial and the service was second to none. What's more, these are among the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. I wish it was my local Indian restaurant!

I want to start by saying just how much I love this restaurant, I have been here on two occasssions…read morenow as after my first visit I just couldn't wait to come back and try something else on their menu! Tamarind is a fine Indian cuisine restaurant, and is much more exquisite than your standard Indian. They offer a really attractive variety of interesting dishes and specials, as well as your usual curries like Korma, Tikka, Vindaloo etc... this really appeals to me, but you will find that it is very difficult making a final decision on what you want to eat as everything sounds so good. The smells from the kitchen are amazing as you're sitting there, so get popadums to start for something to pick at whilst your waiting. The interior of the restaurant is lovely, with white wooden terrace type designs giving the place a quaint feel. There is a good amount of seating, but in my experience it was very busy on a Friday night so perhaps book ahead if you want to guarantee a table. Price wise this place is also great as their meals are very reasonable, on par with most other Indian's in the area. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, it's a bit more classy than most Indians so it would be great for a special occasion meal as well as general family meals or evenings out with friends. If you are a fan of Indian food like me you will love Tamarind.

This place is definitely up there with my favourite curry houses!…read more We have had a few takeaways from here recently and they have all been delicious. I always go for a chicken korma and my partner has something different each time. Last night he went for a chicken tikka rezala which he said is now one of his favourite curries. The last time we ate from here we found that one rice wasn't enough for both of us so this time we ordered two. All our food was lovely, definitely no complaints. The decor is modern with a nice traditional feel and the staff are all really friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area or fancy a change from your usual Indian restaurant.

Prices are very good, £6-8 for a main course and they aren't stingy with the portions. There are a couple of Indian restaurants here quite close together - make sure you get the right one!
