Going for the more casual Indian restaurant look, the Curry Cafe is located on Chandos Road in…read moreRedland. It, like a few other places on this road, has a good reputation, and their food certainly lives up to it. Giving the name 'cafe' immediately puts the guests at ease, but the interior is nice enough to warrant it being called a restaurant. The food is uniquely wide ranging, with a number of options you don't usually see on an Indian menu - Haandi curries, for example. This is the option that I went for, and the meat of the chicken was good quality. I'm not too keen on spicy curries, but there was just the right amount of spice, so it was an enjoyable meal. It's excellent value for money; a main will cost around £6, with rice setting you back about £2.50. Worth a try - a good Indian in a nice neighbourhood.

Okay, I have a lot of good things to say about this place. Being a bit Indian cuisine fan myself I…read morehave tried a fair few different restaurants, and I loved this place so much that I've already been back a couple of times! Firstly - prices are cheap and you get great value for money! And if you don't mind eating a bit earlier, then they have a happy hour between 6pm and 8pm where for only £8 you get curry, rice and naan and can enjoy the great atmosphere of the place. Secondly - the food is actually amazing, and you get good portion sizes - I could only eat half of mine and they were more than happy to pack the rest up for a takeaway. The staff here are so friendly and they literally look after you from the moment you walk in, constantly checking that everything's okay - and the place is so cosy and comfortable, with a buzzing environment! Ahmed's offer all your traditional curry dishes, as well as a few chef specials - and they cater brilliantly for vegetarians, you can pretty much ask for anything that takes your fancy and they'll change it to a vegetarian dish. If you don't want to eat in then they also offer a free delivery service - they tend to take around 45 minutes to deliver too, which isn't bad! Overall I would definitely recommend this place - especially if you fancy a curry in a casual and friendly environment!

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.

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.

There are lots of average and fairly good places in Bristol, as you probably would have seen in my reviews.

It is worth the treck accross town, and on a summer eve get a takeaway and head up to the Clifton Suspension Bridge and enjoy a indian picknick on the grass (don't tell the authorities) looking down the Avon gorge.

There certainly isn't the slight stale, dead feeling you get at some Indian restaurants. They've got a few candles though and it's nicely lit, so all the metal doesn't make it seem too sterile. A reasonably adventurous menu, though you'll still find chicken tika massala and the other usual suspects. It's about nine pounds for a main and some rice. Probably a bit more than you'll pay for a take away, but I'd say worth it for a smart convivial setting. The foods generally of a slightly higher quality than your typical takeaway as well. Helpfully they put spiciness ratings next to the dishes, which I recommend you heed. Oh! Calcutta! takes a slightly different approach than your usual Indian and is much the better for it.

A good choice if you are in this part of Bristol though.

Having been running for what is now 21 years, Ali Baba's must been doing something right, and from looking at the take-away's menu you can see why. The shops name is a little misleading because instead of the 40 Dishes you are spoilt for choice with over 120 dishes, as well as an additional 40+ side orders of rice, naan bread & sundries. Also there are a number of side dishes available to order including Saag Aloo, Tarka Dall & Sarsoon Ka Saag. If you find yourself entertaining friends or feeding the family then you can also choose from Ali Baba's Set Meals, ranging from meals for 1 to meals for 4.

These curries are amongst the finest I have ever tasted; rich, creamy, succulent, and infused with a wealth of subtle flavours and spices, you will not find Indian cuisine more satisfying than this. My favourite dish to date is the chicken passanda, a creamy coconut dish with a unique flavouring (circa £5). Most of the dishes are around £5, and worth every penny. The venue itself is also a joy to inhabit. Whilst waiting for your order, you can admire some authentic Indian artwork, and revel in some ambient Eastern melodies. Definitely an all round thumbs up for this one!
