A long established Indian and a long wait for a table too. They seemed more geared up for serving their takeaway customers. The staff are friendly but the food aspires to being average but falls short. If you think this place is great you need to get out more. We just had a main course each and a couple of... More

I've been coming to the Lal for the best part of 10 years. The little booths are lovely, the food is great and there is a decent selection of dishes available. What has prompted me to write this review now is the poor quality of service and the feeling that I'm always being ripped off. An example, our recent visit... More

Used reviews on this site and decided to get a takeaway from here. Staff were friendly enough, and the wait was about normal for an Indian. However, when we got it back home, we were pretty disheartened. All of the food was warm, rather than hot, after only 5mins max travelling back. Our £11+ King Prawn tikka contained 3 Prawns... More

I cannot believe this restaurant still has any customers after the way my friend and I were treated at lal jomi! I bought my friend hoping for a relaxed atmosphere and good food. When we arrived at the restaurant we were ignored, when we were finally spoken to our table still wasn't ready 15 minutes after I'd had it booked... More

I'm no connoisseur in Indian cuisine but this is the best I've had in Bristol. Small family run business, cosy atmosphere and good value for money.

I am so cheesed off by the attitude I received from this Indian Restaurant !!!! I took out membership (VIP dining card) so as to get take outs from my local indian, but to my horror I was told there was no staff to do my order and that if I wanted food I had to order for after 6... More

Have eaten at Lal Jomi many times, and use their takeaway service regularly. The fact I go back time after time tells you I enjoy the food and the experience. It is small and very cosy. The 4 seater booths are great for privacy and atmosphere. Service has always been excellent. The food isn't showy or over-priced, and I particularly... More
