Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

I was looking for an Indian restaurant somewhere to go on a first date. I spotted a review for this place on sugarvine and decided to try it out. So went along last night and lets just put it this way my date was impressed and i was even more so. The date and the food were excellent. I think this is the one. That's the Indian I'll be going back next week with friends and can't wait. BEST INDIAN IN BRISTOL.

Blue Ginger, well what can i say i spotted this restaurant on the off chance, whilst driving past and decided to take the missus for a bite to eat. We were greeted by a very professional waiter, the atmosphere was wonderful, the restaurant is finished to a very high standard almost like an art deco theme not your usual Indian. The tandoor food we ordered was the best me and my wife have ever had! and the rest of the food was equally as good. Exceptional service and high quality foods what more can you ask for. My advice try it...You won't be disappointed. Remember to take your own drinks!!!

Great Indian. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is splendid with a fantastic selection of Naan breads which are top quality. Have had several meals there now and every one has been perfect. Definitely a notch above Paprika, who tend to serve most of their meals floating in grease. The fact that it is a B.Y.O is thumbs up. It makes it such a cheaper night, after all, why pay £3.50 a pint when you can take a four pack for the same money?

Dear All, I recently visited Blue Ginger with friends... What can i say this place is AMAZING! If you haven't tried it you don't know what your missing out on. Firstly there was a great atmosphere and a real buzz about the place. The waiters were polite, helpful and very well trained and this was evident in the service that was provided. We were quick to be seated the decor is beautiful and there is an essence of glamour about the place. Definitely a place for a celebration. This restaurant is BYAO bring your own alcoholic drinks....and i love this idea! Lighter on the pocket and lighter on the bill. The waiters were superb friendly, inviting, warm i can't speak highly enough of them. Our food came out swiftly one course after another. The food was in good portions and devilishly more-ish. Our drinks were poured for us on request. Superb starter, marvellous main, delicious dessert. Having been to the east many times British Indian food that is good is hard to come by. This is the exception divine and i've already become a regular! Well worth a visit. Best Indian in the south west!

Blue ginger is a nice new place to go n eat out, brill looking decor and friendly staff, and food was good. Downside includes no alcohol which would ve been a bonus rather than poppin down to the off licence to buy it myself as a curry (for me)is nicely complemented by a wine/beer. Food was good but not outta this world, the Paprika restaurant down the road wins for food but for atmosphere Blue ginger is better.

We visited recently as it has been taken over and were not disappointed. There's now a lovely garden restaurant at the back and a terrace if the weather is fine. My partner had the steak and said that it was one of the best he had ever had and I had a goats cheese tart which was delicious. I noticed that they are doing steak promotion on Wed night so maybe we'll come back then! We didn't have dessert but they are all home made.

Fantastic venue. Excellent variety of food and great company

this was 1 if the best Indians I've been to for a long time great service and wonderful food xxx

I have had the joy of eating at Goodfellows just one time. I had the taster menu and in the seafood restaurant and it was amazing. The preparation, execution and presentation of the food was second to none. The atmosphere was pleasant and unassuming. The were staff courteous and keen to ensure that your evening was as pleasant as possible without being in your face. The decor was simple, understated and without pretention which made the overwhelming good standard of the food even more amazing. This is a restaurant I would recommend to any friends or family that were to visit Wells and I certainly would enjoy eating here again.

Great Setting by the river and fantastic food on offer, would recommend to anyone. The Evening menu is varied almost spoiled for choice. Will be returning!

This Bengali restaurant has only been open a couple of weeks in April 2010. We went there on Saturday night "on the off chance" and could have done with booking as it was completely full. It is a BYO, and perhaps that was what attracted a rowdy crowd. The decor is nice, but it doesn't absorb the noise and it was difficult to hear each other speak. That said, the service is great, the staff are extremely pleasant - and one was very knowledgeable about the Taka Dahl and how it is made - the crockery is plain white and extremely classy, and the food is DELICIOUS!!!! We know our Sagaloo and Taka Dahl and these were the very best either of us have ever tried. We will definitely go back - I am planning to take a couple of friends there next month - but will avoid weekends in the hope that the clientele will be more subdued. That is the shame of it; the customers ruining the place because the food is excellent and easily gets a 10/10. I wish the Blue Ginger great success. The staff in and out of the kitchen deserve it to be.

I went here for Good Friday. I searched for somewhere to eat, I was treating my woman. I always like to support local business, I chose this place because of it. The food was absolutely fantastic. I didn't think they made food as good as this. Even the wine was good. It was a relaxed atmosphere, always staff about for your requirements. I was soo very pleased, it helped make my weekend fantastic. I recommend

Visited one mid-week night in March and really enjoyed the evening. Among us was one who has yet to develop adventurous tastes, so stuck to the steak, while the rest of us relished the various plates of meals, superb tastes, excellently cooked together with a good ambiance and welcoming staff. We couldn't manage a dessert, although two of us were forced to share one :) Would recommend to anyone, even those who like to stay in their culinary comfort zone. We came home with my taste buds tingling.

Highly recommended A relaxing homely atmosphere. Good Home cooking at its best We usually visit Glastonbury on a Sunday and call in to the King William for the carvery a veritable feast. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

Absolutely fantastic. I took my mum here for her birthday with friends and had a great evening. The restaurant itself is authentic and very welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the service is spot on, not too intrusive. The food was the best Greek food I've had outside of Greece itself. We all agreed it was a fab night. There is a good choice of starters and mains, didn't have dessert as we were all absolutely stuffed. I had the stuffed grapes, too die for and the sardine salad was really good, my mum ate the lot and she's not a salad fan. It had depths and flavours we did not expect. The mains are quite big so you may not want a starter, but would recommend this place to anyone, especially couples and for a special occasion. Can't fault it. The atmosphere just added to a great night. The staff work really hard to ensure a good time. Will go back again for that special something and try new dishes.

Really enjoyed our night at zio restaurant. we opted for a couple of pizzas and a nice bottle of red. which was a Nero D avola!!! my wife choose a pizza with roasted pepper and spicy pepperoni and i choose a pizza with King prawns and rocket which was fantastic. Can honestly say the best pizzas in bristol. Many Thanks
