Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

The restaurant has a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere; even on a Saturday night they didn't make a fuss if you had no booking. They have the seating well laid out so you don't feel like you are sitting on top of any surrounding tables. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel welcome without being next to you all the time. The food was excellent and fairly priced, and even in busy periods you never seem to be waiting too long for it.

Small place very popular, fantastic food at very reasonable price. Those who appreciate genuine Indian food, it's worth a visit. Try the Tamarind Chicken or the Lal Maas, which you are not likely to find anywhere else. I was informed it's Ahmed's own creation. Word of advice worth booking in advance.

Great café, my favourite place to go in Bath. Worth going in just to view the staff!

The chef cares about his work. Ingredients excellent, cooking and presentation too.

I?e been to many Indian restaurants and have never been satisfied with either the food or the depressing waiters or the sita music twanging in the background, not only that but most Indian restaurants are so outdated with there awful decor in Bristol! I have found the most amazing, wackiest, modern restaurant in uk! Oh! Calcutta! Has lived up to its name. Not only does it have a wonderful selection of fish (red snapper and monk fish) the ingredients and preparation are so fresh that it wafts through your nostrils and sends you to food heaven! The waiters and waitresses are all from different parts of Europe, which makes it uniquely different to other Indian restaurants. The food is exceptionally tasty due to the freshness of their cooking. The standard is very high for the money and this makes it a winner for my local Indian restaurant. If you get bored of sitting in the restaurant you can always watch the screen on the wall, which plays arty video clips and world music. Oh! Calcutta! Is the way to go forward, its about time Bristol had a trendy Indian restaurant!

When you walk through the door you know you're in a little corner of Cyprus. The staff are extremely warm and helpful and the food is exquisite. Price can mount up, but you will always have an evening to remember. Well done Dimitris.

Excellent little bar. Very welcoming and knowledgeable owner (Adrian and Ester Cox). Excellent freshly prepared food. A definite must visit for a true feel of the area while in Clifton Village.

I recently went to Oh Calcutta on my birthday with 10 friends and had one of the best meals ever. The restaurant is like no other Indian restaurant I had been too , looking modern and trendy. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and best of all the food was fantastic. Well done Oh Calcutta, I will be returning very soon.

Went with my boyfriend for Valentines Day, then for my birthday a couple of weeks later. Well worth the experience and money, as food was some of the best Chinese ever! Very authentic, just like when we travelled to Hong Kong! And the staff are ever so friendly. This will definitely become a regular of ours!

You just can't beat Demuths for vegetarian food in the south west if not the UK - it's loved by non-vegetarians just as much. It's by far the best vegetarian restaurant I've been to. They have lots of vegan and gluten free options too. Make sure you book if you're going for the evening on a weekend!

Having previously eaten at the sister restaurant in Bath, I tried Loch Fyne, in Bristol. The ambience was great, The staff are very chirpy and offer an extremely good service and is really clean and tidy. I was more than happy with the price & the menu selection. We had Oysters to start, with Lobster to share and champagne and desert, all reasonably priced and very romantic (PS I do recommend the Oysters & Champagne combo!!) Will go back again!!! A real treat!!!

The gastronomic experience was mindblowing, but the Thai wine unremarkable. Go for a bottle of beer instead or just some water. I would travel some distance to visit this restaurant again.

I?e heard a few poor reviews of this restaurant in the past, which frankly confused me. My party and I found every element of our dining experience to be of a very high standard. I highly recommend it.

At last it has gained recognition, and won a Vegetarian restaurant of the year award. We have been eating here for years now and Mark and Paul continue to produce Gourmet veggie food. Imaginative, seasonal ,local where possible, ingredients expertly cooked. Great selection of very well priced wines. Now always booked well in advance but definitely a must try, even for non veggies.

THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT, WE WENT FOR THE SET MEAL FOR 6 OR MORE PEOPLE AND IT WAS AMPLE FOR 17.95 EACH. WE HAD FOOD LEFT OVER. THE SERVICE WAS QUICK AND CHEERFUL, THEY COULD NOT DO ENOUGH FOR US. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE BEIJING TO ANYONE.

I especially love the cachaca cocktails

Oh Mamma Mia!! On first walking in, you straightaway get whisked off into the culture of Italy! With the pictures, decor and the casual and cosy table settings. The atmosphere is friendly, and the waitress was hopeful in helping to decided on which dishes warranted the honour of being ordered! The restaurant itself is very small with the tables quite closely situated to one another, but this didn't take away from the intimate & hilarious conversations going on all around. The menu has a very good selection, the only problem being many of the dishes aren't described. At first glance it may appear a little extensive, especially to a Uni student such as myself, but actually its still average in the spectrum of things. The service was prompt and the waitress came around at intervals to make sure all was well. I ordered a Salmon & Pasta dish (unfortunately can't remember it's name!) which was nice, however the creamy natural of the sauce did get a little sickening after a while. Looking around our table, one would say the portions were generous and the presentation fair. Just as we where finishing, a number of customers started entering, meaning that is was harder to get the attention of the waitress in order to get our bill. Overall a very cheerful place affording comforting warmth, with lovely selection and service. Extra notes! The restaurant is well situated with Trenchard Street Car Park being reasonably priced and near by. As with many popular places it is advised that you book your table in advance.

I had the pleasure of visiting this establishment when it first opened and I have just been back. It still looks as clean and tidy as it did when it opened, the staff are very friendly and bend over backwards to help. The kitchen always looks clean and the food is always hot, the way the wood burning oven bakes the pizzas give them a truly remarkable taste. I would recommend this place to any one.
