We went to Urban Tandoor twice in a week whilst we were in Bristol. We enjoyed it very much. The staff was pleasing but not overbearing. The food absolutely great. I ate the lamb shank, and my wife had chicken one night and seafood another night. When I visit I will be back.

Probably the best restaurant of its kind. Very fairly priced, attentive service but never intrusive. Food quality very good. Great also at recommending meals and mix and matching for sharing.

No flock wallpaper and no sitars in the background but the food was excellent and the service swift and effective. Thoroughly recommended. I would definitely go again when next in Bristol.

There isn't a lot of joy in a premier inn week away. But being able to get out there and try something different is one of them.

I love a curry, but i love a curry more when there is something different and it's done with love.

Firstly I eat on my own a lot with work and you can be made to feel like a leper, but the concierge didn't wince and in fact despite the restaurant being busy for a Tuesday night, he had no hesitation in moving me two a four table.

The service was great, discreet but always there.

The popadoms indicated this was going to be good. The chutneys were hand made and thoughtful a promising start

The starter was good (chicken thighs), big but so far I was wondering about the fuss.

The main was out of this world a lamb shank, a delicate layer of flavours that hovered above the palate before layering the gentle spices lovingly across the and around the mouth

A real find
