Indian Restaurants in Bristol

1. The Olive Tree, Queensberry Hotel British, Modern restaurant in Bath Russell St - BA1

“Chris Cleghorn produces high-quality fare with a range of tasting menus” at this long-established and well-renowned venture (currently Bath’s only Michelin-starred establishment), in the cellar of a comfortable independently run hotel. This year’s average food scores were particularly high. There are still quibbles raised by some about the “slightly sterile basement dining room” and that a visit is “not cheap”. Such concerns were mostly drowned out this year, though, by the majority who pronounce it “virtually perfect in every respect: a Treat with a capital ‘T’!”

2. The Mint Room Indian restaurant in Bristol 12-16 Clifton Rd - BS8

The “well-cooked and interesting” “Moghul-style cuisine” at this slick Clifton outfit (and its Bath spin-off) is “a big change from usual Indian restaurants”, with “incredible spice balances”. Top Tip – “the monkfish starter is tops!”

3. Pipal Tree Indian restaurant in Bristol 28 Chelsea Road - BS5

2022 Review: Kirpal Singh & his wife Kulwinder Kaur’s four-year-old north Indian fusion venture takes a novel approach to its menu, indicating which dishes are traditional to the Punjab, and which have been developed by expat Punjabi cooks using local ingredients – hence, for instance, mussels cooked in red wine and chilli. Named after the tree beneath which Buddha found enlightenment, it now has a sibling, Pipal Leaf in Redfield.
