Thali

I like visiting here when I'm in Bristol. It's a relaxing environment with delicious food and drinks. There's a varied selection of gluten free options so I'm happy! My first Uttapam -Wow! (Hopefully not my last!) A flavourful rice bread with coconut, herbs and spices, accompanied by a chutney. Apart from my regular hot chocolate with oat milk, my favourite raspberry, ginger and lime cooler is a winner! I've always experienced friendly, smiley service. All good!

Lovely food, with the right balance of spices, and generous portions. Quick service (so ideal if you have children or very impatient people in your party). We ordered two thalis and two sides, plus popadom, to share between us (3 people). It was more than enough. Value for money food, especially now that eating out can be very expensive.

Used to be one of my favourite places in Bristol - but some things have changed which now make me unable to give them 5 stars .. Firstly they stopped serving the lamb curry which was so so good, the best in my opinion.. and second, the last time I went there and I had the Keralan chicken curry - it wasn’t as tasty, obviously missing some salt and while it was supposed to be a medium hot curry (this is what the waitress also confirmed), it wasn’t spicy at all.. Also, I preferred the way they served the thali before, with all the little bowls ~ it felt very special. Now they are serving the food on these large plates that are divided into compartments. Although I do understand that its probably more economical, easier to wash, or even better for the environment, it makes you feel like you are eating at a canteen and takes away a bit of the magic.. PS: very hard to find parking available nearby as its an incredibly busy area.
