I absolutely love this place! The food is always full of flavour and the desserts are just as amazing.Everything is cooked perfectly and tastes so fresh every time. I’ve been here many times and it’s easily one of my favourite spots for Indian food. The staff are always kind, polite and welcoming, and the atmosphere is really cosy and relaxed. If you’re into Indian cuisine, I’d 100% recommend giving this place a try – you won’t be disappointed!

Atmosphere is fantastic, if you're looking for party vibes, this is the curry house for you! We were lucky to watch a performance and it did not disappoint! Food isn't amazing but isn't terrible either, it does the job. They were very sweet to treat me to a free dessert for my birthday, which I really appreciated and it was very tasty. We did wait about an hour between finishing eating and paying, and it's very hot in there with not much ventilation. But we just tried to enjoy the good vibes! The staff are very attentive and the hospitality is great. These guys are famous for a reason! It's a fun evening out, great for big groups or smaller celebrations

Went to Urban Tandoor in Bristol and honestly had such a great experience. I started with the Mustard Paneer Tikka the cottage cheese was smoky, tangy, and cooked perfectly with the peppers and onions. For my main, I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was creamy, rich, and full of flavour. The chicken was really tender and the sauce was the kind you just want to scoop up with naan. The staff were super friendly and the whole place had such a fun, lively vibe. Definitely one of the best Indian meals I’ve had in Bristol.

The food here is incredibly delicious, and the service is absolutely exceptional – super friendly, kind, and attentive. I came because my boyfriend brought me as a birthday treat, and they surprised me with a cocktail and even brought out a cake so I could blow out the candles! It's not my first time here, and Urban Tandoor never disappoints. Without a doubt, it’s my favourite place in Bristol!

Food here was very nice,with lots of flavour. My partner had the lamb shank urban tandoor special which he said was probably the best Indian restaurant meal he's ever had, lots of meat on the bone, amazing flavour and a very generous portion. Lovely decor and the staff here are very attentive, helpful and friendly. 100% we will be back!
