Brilliant authentic South Asian restaurant - a hidden gem in Bristol! We’d given up a long time ago trying to find an authentic South Asian restaurant outside of Brick Lane in London, however, after hearing about Redland Tandoori’s recent popularity and reading the reviews since the restaurant changed hands we were obliged to give it a try. Firstly, the interior is beautifully decorated and the ambience is a friendly buzz with traditional Hindi music playing in the background - a nice touch but not too loud to drown out conversations. We also noted the furniture is especially comfortable and you can sit comfortably for a long time, unlike the wooden chairs most restaurants seem to stock. It seems the restaurant is family run and the service is very attentive and welcoming and we weren’t rushed while picking through the extensive menu. To start, we had poppadums which were light and not too oily, they were paired with a selection of fresh and flavourful chutneys which we thoroughly enjoyed. For the mains we ordered lamb jalfrezi, red snapper balti, pilau rice, garlic naan, peshwari naan, coke and a mango lassi. Firstly, the mango lassi was a perfect complement to the meal, it was very fragrant and creamy and was the perfect level of sweetness - it was a very generous serving too (see picture below). The lamb was beautifully cooked and tender and paired with a rich sauce and vegetables, The red snapper balti was also very impressive and flaked apart easily with a fork but wasn’t mushy. What sets this restaurant apart is each dish had it’s own distinctive flavours and spices - visibly they looked similar so we were apprehensive but by taste they were completely unique and perfectly suited to the lamb and fish. The pilau rice was very good and the naans were served fresh and hot, we could tell by the charred and crisp base they had been made fresh in the tandoor oven. The garlic naan was very aromatic and fragrant and the peshwari naan had a lovely sweet filling. It was clear that this restaurant cooks it’s menu using fresh ingredients and treats every dish like a home cooked meal, as opposed to many restaurants which are churning out overly oily, creamy and sweet ‘curries’ that have all been made from the same sauce bases. In today’s day and age if you want quality food a hefty bill is usually justified - the staggering thing about this restaurant is they serve huge portions of quality food and a vast majority of their main dishes are under 10! This humble restaurant is very well deserving of the recent hype and reviews and I can honestly say I don’t think I have had Indian restaurant food to this standard outside of South Asia. We will definitely be coming back - and hopefully securing a regular table before it gets too popular.
Great experience overall. Everyone was welcoming and attentive without being pushy. I really enjoyed the lamb tikka tandoori, thanks a lot
We are new to the area and very happy this is our local Indian restaurant now. Genuine, kind and welcoming service - the food was fresh and delicious. We will be back!
We loved this takeaway! The price was great, the quality was amazing and the food was plentiful. Lots of flavour, it came hot, and we have nothing to complain about! Nothing too spicy as we aren’t keen on spice, so we got the Korma and Butter chicken and they tasted premium quality. The garlic naan bread was also insanely delicious. Will order from here again soon! We got (don’t judge us for being beige): - Garlic Rice - Garlic Naan Bread - Poppadum’s - Chicken Korma (was so good, will try the Prawn one next time) - Butter Chicken - Fries (yes I have chips with my Indian takeaway and they were very good) - Mint Sauce - Onion Salad
I really appreciated how calm and welcoming it felt. Not rushed at all.
