Nutmeg

Food has been excellent on the two occasions I have visited. Everyone spoke about the food weeks later. Service the second time was excellent first time not so great but after we raised our concerns they went above and beyond to make up for the issues we had first time around. I would eat here again for sure. The biryanis and duck are just two of the dishes we loved.

First time trying Nutmeg we really enjoyed our experience. Atmosphere was relaxed going for early tea. The 1.5 hour restriction on the table was fine for the two of us, may feel rushed if we were there as a large party for an event. The onion bhajis were the tastiest I've had very fresh spices, the sauce was a little on the sweet side for us but still very enjoyable. The dips for the poppadums seemed freshly made and tasty also. My first time having a slow baked lamb biryani and was not disappointed, tender meat and nicely spiced again, portion size was plenty with the rice and baked under a nan bread lid. My partner enjoyed his chicken labadar which is a mild curry. The cost of the meal was on par with most other places we've eaten in Bristol not expensive. I would go again and try out different meals.

Our first visit to Nutmeg tonight (4 of us). This was a Wednesday night at 6.30 pm and the restaurant was already very busy. A nice greeting and taken immediately to our table in the upstairs area. Drinks menu was good, I had a very nice Kevlar beer. The others had different cocktails all of which were thoroughly enjoyed. Great poppadoms and three lovely chutneys, a spicy mango, a mint based one and a lovely tomato one. Menu though small made selection difficult as everything sounded delicious. We chose a seasonal fish curry (today was bass, two opted for one of the lamb curries and I went for a duck curry, not often seen in curry dishes. The mains were so good and accompanied with fabulous Nan bread and saffron rice. What a me as l, we all raved about it as did friends who coincidentally were at the next table. Good wine list as well. Not the cheapest curry but probably the best I have had and will be returning soon. Thanks Nutmeg.

We had a fantastic first visit to Nutmeg recently. The menu is great without any of the usual "old favourites" to stop you trying something new. The guinea fowl starter was exceptional as was the cauliflower side dish. The staff really made it though - knowledgeable and enthusiastic. In the coolest part of Clifton too with plenty of bars for drinks before, and after, if you can fit any more in!

Fabulous place. Service was fast, informative and attentive (I particularly love when you don't have to keep asking for water refills, it just happens!). Started with the paneer and onion bajis which were both excellent, and for mains we ordered a load of curries and shared them around. There wasn't one that wasn't delicious, so don't be afraid of choosing something a bit different! Be warned some of them were more spicy than expected. There's a surprising amount of seating upstairs and around the corner so weekday walk-ins should be fine, but suggest booking in advance for Fri/Sat.
