Early this week we had a take-away meal from Spice Mahal in Rangeworthy. The food was FANTASTIC…read more Eight of us ordered various starters (onion bhaji, poppadoms) and 6 or 7 main entrees that we shared (garlic massala, vegetable curry, king prawns, etc.). What a great meal. I've not eaten in the restaurant but the take away is definitely a treat.

First impressions was the location seemed abit out of the way and didnt expect it to be very busy…read moreinside. But they had every table full with a nice atmopshere. Ive heard this place was really good so looking forward to trying it out. We went here for a group meal and the there was about 20 of us....so i expected the service to be slow but they were really good. It didnt make a difference that it was a large the food still came out quick. Nothing was wrong. And everyone complementing their meals. I shared a mixed grill tandoori and it was really tasty. The nann bread were crispy which i really like compared to other curry houses nanns! The staff made checking to make sure our meals were ok. Good food & wine!! Will be returning :)

Raj Pavillions is by far the best curry house in Bristol in my opinion. I have been here twice,…read moreonce a year ago with a small group and last night when there was 20 of us. I have been raving about this place for a whole year but struggled to find a good time to go back until last night. We had popadoms with the usual pickles to start. And for main I had the Lamb Asadi, I have been thinking about it since my visit last year and I have to say it was just as good last night. Asadi is a dish with olives and Feta, which you might think isn't your typical Indian dish but served in the Bhuna style sauce is incredible and works so well. We shared a mushroom rice (although we could probably of had a one each) and a Raj special Nan, it was all cooked to perfection. All for around £15 each, which is great value I think. The staff are really friendly and coped really well with our rowdy bunch, they were quick and efficient. The decor is clean and modern with an Indian flavour, I particularly love the mural of the Indian landscape across the back wall. To eat in, take away or delivery everyone should try the Raj Pavilions you won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

Definitely my favourite Indian restaurant in Bristol, we keep coming back and would definitely recommend it. What's really nice is that if you order and collect your takeaway they take 10% of the bill off and if you choose to wait there they'll give you a free drink. Can't recommend them enough!
