Portishead, Indian Restaurant Guide

It’s “rare to eat Indian cuisine made to such high standards and with an imaginative touch to the food”, but one place you can is this sophisticated Clifton operation (with Bath spin-off); “the decor is stylish and nothing like the traditional look”, while the “fragrant” food is more than a match for it (not least “superb” pies “with all sorts of curried delights under the lid”).

Originally due to open in 2022, now planned for December 2023 in the former PizzaExpress, a Grade 1 listed building.
