This is my first Yelp review. The atmosphere at Tulsi is exceptional. The music is well-sourced, the cherry trees are tasteful and pleasant, and the historic Pulteney bridge location makes this a unique fusion of old and new. However, the service at this restaurant is terrible. I arrived at a time when the restaurant was relatively quiet, and yet the four-person wait staff seemed overwhelmed. I ordered a beer from the tap and a main dish with a side of naan bread. I waited over 30 minutes for my beer to arrive, as the wait staff forgot the order, and then brought the wrong drink to the table, and the last time the waiter who appeared in charge had to pour the drink and bring it over. While waiting, three different waiters asked to take my order, after I had already ordered and informed them of such. When the food arrived over an hour after I ordered, it was not as described in the menu, was cold, and was mediocre. I had to ask them to confirm that it was what I ordered. I asked for the bill from the same waiter who took my order and paid as I did not want to wait to leave after I finished my meal. It is worth noting here that the bread and appetizers they bring (almost unsolicited) at the beginning of the meal are not free and total approximately 5 pounds. After finishing my meal and leaving the restaurant, one of the waitresses chased me down and had the audacity to accuse me of not paying in the middle of the crowded street. Very embarrassing. read more

Very unprofessional behavior. First a text asking for a confirmation and a deposit. When asked how to provide the deposit, the reply was "We'll get back to you." The next day, a text informing us that they haven't the staff to open Christmas Day and therefore will be closed. This two days before the holiday. Very shoddy treatment. read more

Once you go down all the steps you find a lovely setting and excellent food and service. We shared samosas and Pasanda - excellent. read more

Tulsi Indian Resturant - Indian Near Me - Bath, BAS

Horrible place. Worst attitude. Outside the restaurant there is a board mentioning that many of the non veg dishes can be customised to veg options . But once we tried to order the waiter rudely tells that they can serve only wats on the menu. Absolutely no veg options. Atleast he can politely refuse. Such ppl should run pawn shaps rather than restaurant . The only blemish in a wonderful bath trip. Pls avoid this place. read more

Really great food, super cozy atmosphere and a lovely staff that made my 2 unexpected nights in Bath filled with delicious food and lovely company. I recommend taking a recommendation from the staff if you're open to trying a new dish -- they have great instincts. Thoroughly enjoyable! read more

We had delicious saga paneer and tilki dahl and both were excellent. Coconut flavored naan was good but I prefer plain naan.

Great (new!) Indian restaurant very close to the Roman Baths (just across the bridge). We walked in at half past 10 on a Sunday, the restaurant was clearly going to close early as everyone else had finished their meals, but they happily stayed open to serve us. So nice. Flavorful food, accurate spiciness labels, really kind staff, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended! read more

We have just had the most divine takeaway meal. The onions bhajis were sublime. Everything was fabulously fresh. The best Indian meal ever! The chicken tikka sauce, was fresh and spicy. Even the mango chutney was subtle and fruity. Gorgeous! We love you! read more

Excellent meal! Delicious almond and coconut naan. My family of 4 shared two meals and were full by the end. Saag paneer and tirka daal were unique and yummy. read more

I made a booking for my mum's 60th birthday at Tulsi restaurant for 13 of us. We even paid a £50 deposit ahead of time for our reservation. As soon as we arrived one of the staff member called Darrius (bald man) gave a very unwelcoming vibe right from the beginning. As soon as we sat down at our table he kept rushing us to make our order very quickly and saying we have held up 4 tables due to the large group which again was in a very bad tone. As it was our first time visiting this restaurant we were asking questions about the portion sizes, menu expecting a helpful answer but instead we just kept receiving sarcastic responses and telling us to hurry up and make our order. Due to Darrius (staff member) we gave our food order which we weren't very comfortable with as we felt very rushed. I really don't understand why we kept getting rushed when the drink order took 20 minutes and food order (starters and mains) took a long time too and when it did arrive some of the items that arrived was not ordered by us. Also, the tandoori rotis were undercooked. When we ordered some more naans, we waited 30 minutes and they didn't come. As the staff were not coming to our table so my husband and I decided to settle the bill by the bar area. We were just raising our concerns to Molly (undercooked tandoori rotis, naans not coming and feeling rushed) but in between we got interrupted by Darrius who started speaking to us very aggressively about holding up 4 tables and we were taking too long. We told him we don't want to speak to him and would prefer settling it with Molly. Then he came very close to my husband aggressively start tapping my husband on the shoulder and said, "WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE, JUST PAY THE BILL AND GO". Both me and husband were very shocked at how a staff member (DARRIUS) is treating the customers in the restaurant. In the end we took the birthday cake back from Molly (which we brought with us), settle the bill and left. This is completely unacceptable, and I expect the management to look at the CCTV camera by the bar area, so they can see how Darrius treated us and Molly was standing right there. He completely ruined the birthday celebration, atmosphere and we all (including the kids) felt very uncomfortable. This was our first time visiting Tulsi restaurant and will definitely be the last as well. I have never visited a restaurant in the past were the staff member has become rude and aggressive. read more

We had the £8.95 menu and ordered the Lamb as the main course. However the meat was NOT lamb but Beef. Although the food and the service was reasonably good we felt cheated. It's very dishonest from their part and would not recommend on that ground. read more

The food was superb. The lamb saag was beautifully done, the spices perfection. The best Indian food I have had in a long time. I am from the states, so my selection of Indian restaurants is not as good as the UK; nonetheless, this ranks in my top ten favorite meals of all time. read more

This is a hidden place that has great food. I'm visiting from the US and this was a gem. I frequently visit different Indian places and this matches up well. People were nice and the service was great. Our waitress was Molly and she was just a delight and very helpful with all the questions we asked. read more

I love Indian food and came upon this when I went to a previous Indian restaurant that I discovered had closed. Opposite is Tulsi Tandoori, and I could not have found a better place. Opened a little over a month, the sound of a water feature is immediately welcoming. The calm design - not over-fussy and a tree in the centre (ok, it's not real, but you'd never know), plus great views overlooking the weir on the raised level easily made this (even before I'd ordered) one of the best places in Bath (and I've been going there and/or living there for 25 years). There is an excellent wine list, reasonably priced (I had a Rioja, which was great value at under £25) and something quite unique - large glass baubles/ballon type things (I'm sure there's a technical name for them) of handmade Italian liquors. They look exquisite, lining the wall above the bar, and start at £4.50 apiece, though they go way higher. I went for cherry (absinthe can apparently turn you grey overnight) and it was fruity without being too sweet - and tasted as if it had come straight from the cherry tree to the table. Then there's the food. Not only the best Indian I've tasted in Bath, but pretty much the UK and USA as well. As I'm largely vegetarian, I went for a mixture of side dishes, all served beautifully hot in temperature (you would not believe how many Indian meals I have had to send back to the kitchen for being lukewarm). The Tirki Dhal - red lentils in thick gravy, with onion, ginger, garlic and red chillies made such a welcome change from the proverbial Tarka Dhal you get elsewhere, although they serve that as well. This is what I like - staple dishes but with a lot of original, authentic dishes I've never heard of alongside them (although I would put a Kulcha nan on the menu - only because it's my favourite!). When I am off my current vegetarian phase, I am keen to try the Chicken Tikka Hyderabadi (chicken pieces rubbed with whole spiced chilli, coriander and spinach and baked in a Tandoori oven). The tables are nicely spaced apart (unusually for an Indian), and everything, from the tablecloths to the spotless cutlery and glasses, is perfectly presented. The service is excellent, and people dining alone are treated not as second class citizens (as happens in so many places) but the same as everyone else. If you are visiting Bath, check it out - it's only a half mile walk from the railway station; and if you are a local, I have no doubt you will become a regular. It's important to support new ventures and I cannot recommend Tulsi enough. Just stay outa my seat! It'll be the one by the window. read more
