Not enough people have commented yet

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

Do you think it deserves to be better known?

Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Times

Charlotte Ivers took her mother to an Indian restaurant down a sidestreet in central Bristol that has achieved global fame (and a write-up in the New York Times, no less) via its cheesy TikTok videos of owner Sujith D’almeida and his staff singing and dancing to hit records.

It’s a “silly, warm, magical” place that aims to do little more than bring a few minutes’ happinesss into people’s lives – an aim in which it apparently succeeds.

“The grub is decent, at the upper end of what you’d expect from a classic local British Indian place,” says Charlotte. Palak kofta, samosa chat and mustard paneer tikka “are all perfectly edible, and the beef sukka — fenugreek, cardamom, fennel seed, cumin, coconut cream — that I get on the waiter’s recommendation is excellent”.
