Indian Temptation

Finding a fully vegetarian menu in this city was a relief because it’s difficult to go somewhere as a vegetarian and be able to eat EVERYTHING. It was worth every penny to try the amazing food. Totally in love with the south Indian cuisine; it all tasted wholesome and authentic. Despite the hectic environment, the employees moved quietly and effectively while still offering exceptional service. The excellent mango lassi was my favourite part of the event.

It’s a small restaurant at the corner of street, but the food is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed it so much that it completely changed my mood. Every bite was making me realise the right choice of restaurant I made today 😃 Food is a bit mellowed down to suit English palette but it didn’t decrease the taste. Service is okay and can improve a bit on friendliness. Interior had many touches of Indian feel. It’s better to reserve as you will get better table options.

Indian Temptation, an establishment with an impressive eight-year history, stands out as a beacon of authentic Indian cuisine. The culinary offerings here encapsulate the essence of Indian flavors. Noteworthy among these are the Vegetarian Platter and the Temptation Kofta, revered as culinary gems that one must not overlook during a visit. Upon stepping inside, the ambiance evokes a sense of luxury akin to a high-end hotel. The immaculate surroundings, coupled with the warm reception from the attentive staff, created an inviting atmosphere. Seated by the window with a view of Bath, my experience was enhanced. Smith, the amiable waiter, took my order and provided insights into the dining sequence: commencing with the starter, followed by the main course. The Platter's arrival was a revelation – its impeccable presentation was a prelude to its exquisite taste. The harmony of flavors, adeptly balancing spices, salt, and sauces, was delightful. A delectable Sweet Lassi followed, offering a cool respite from the preceding spiciness. Subsequently, the main course unfurled - both the Nan and the Temptation Kofta were paragons of culinary craftsmanship. The flawless preparation, captivating presentation, and exceptional taste harmonized seamlessly. The Kofta, in particular, stood out – its succulence was a burst of flavors within the confines of my palate. In summation, the experience was flawless. The impeccable service, a courteous and adept staff, a skilled chef dedicated to preserving Indian authenticity, an enchanting ambiance, all nestled at the heart of the city, cement Indian Temptation as a culinary haven.

We ordered north Indian thali and masala dosa. Rice in the thali can be given more, it was too less. Masala dosa was excessively crispy from all the sides (so much so that it tasted liked flavoured papadom) The location is prime, it overlooks the Bath abbey. The staffs are like strict teachers and you are not sure when they start scolding you, both of them almost did! 🥲

What a gem this place is! Had a wonderful lunch here on a sunny day in Bath - made all the more pleasant thanks to a table by the window that afforded a stunning view. Waiters were really knowledgeable about the dishes and I really appreciated the suggestions, which were spot on. Dishes were flavoursome and filling, and not at all greasy or heavy... the playlist didn't go unnoticed either - not only a bit of Fleetwood Mac but some banging 80s tunes too. Excellent taste in music and food! We'll definitely be back.
