Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

Had an excellent meal. We ate off the "all you can eat menu" it had a wide choice of dishes and was delicious. Service can be on the slow side, but this allows some of the food to digest before next course arrives. Would have no hesitation in recommending this to friends.

Visited your Taverna for the first time and absolutely loved the ambiance, food, service and personal touch of the restaurateurs' family's presence. The fire was blazing and we were the last to leave!!

This restaurant is the finest in Bristol the service is first class the waiters are the best I having seen there are a credit to the all in one restaurant, the food was brilliant the wine was first class and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for somewhere to eat.

Found a foodie gem in Axbridge. The Oak House is great and we thoroughly enjoyed our two dinners there. Staff really helpful and food is quirky and memorable

Excellent Indian Restaurant , If never tried it then make the change. They are now doing takeaway and Free delivery.

Very good carvery and interesting menu in the conservatory restaurant. Good price and worth booking at weekends.

This is a very friendly pub with great Sunday roasts available well into the afternoon.You are always made welcome and it is worth booking if you want to go between 12:30 and 13:30

The best food in UK The owner very kind and lovely with all customers.If you try their food you will never forget it.Thanks to the owner

Excellent menu, and excellent food! Top quality. Very happy belly!many thank to Afendi restaurant

Went to yojis' for my birthday treat last night. As always had the most amazing food. They never fail to deliver the tastiest of food with all the staff happy to help and advise if needed. Love it. Wish I could afford to go more often!!

1st experience place take away order at 8.15 told hour for delivery. At 9.30 called to check progress told meal with delivery driver in Redland. Over 20 mins away. 20 mins later still no delivery, hungry had to cancel order. Don"t put fliers through door if you can't deliver. I will never eat at your restaurant and will tell everyone to touch you with a barge poll.

The best food and service in Bristol restaurant and the owner very kind with all customers. Many thanks to afendi restaurant

A poor quality Indian restaurant, lacking atmosphere, civility of service with below average standard of food. Avoid unless you are convinced you want to try a new restaurant. Rajpoot, our usual, deserves all the credit it merits.

Booked a table for two at the last minute on a Monday night and was not disappointed. An intimate setting serving Northern Italian cuisine at its best. I opted for a Wild Mushroom Brushetta to start with and Shredded Duck with Pappardelle pasta as a main course, both tasted great. For desert we shared a pancotta which was thick, creamy and delicious Through out the evening we were well attended to by the waiting staff who were were both pleasant and prompt with making sure everything was okay. There was not a long waiting time on food at all, though even if there was you could easily spend the entire evening in Prosecco's relaxed atmosphere. Eating for two came to aound about £70 for 2 shared courses, a main and starter. This price included a few beers and glasses of wine. I would highly recommend this restaurant to couples and small parties of adults.

We have been going to Zoi's for a long time and have always had great Italian food with very friendly staff and nice atmosphere, as my wife is a vegetarian we agree that the food is far better than some 5 star restaurants we have been too

Well what can I say - I'll make it short as that's all this place deserves. Saturday night, 4 couples, 40th birthday celebration. Venue beautiful, seated 45 minutes late, starters arrive randomly and most overcooked & overpriced. Mains arrive with some of the starters, no side dishes and all pretty dire, sides arrive when most of the mains finished and this was only after requesting them more than once. No offer of desserts or coffees, in fact the tables were cleared! By then the whole place had turned into a banging nightclub for the Bath sloane's where champagne and cocaine seemed to be the only thing on the menu. When we complained about the service etc we were fobbed off with the offer of cheap wine and this was after having to argue our case for 20 minutes. Will definitely not be frequenting this venue again, dreadfully overpriced food and exceptionally poor service. Please don't waste your time or money!

Went here with our 2 children and had the meat , it was excellent 2nd time of coming here, could not fault the service or food, will be back again. Music is excellent, reminds us of dinning abroad.

Remember the last time you had Indian food and how great it was, now times that by five and you have Mazza Namakar Lounge. Having only been open a week, this is an undiscovered wonder, soon to be huge on the Bristol restaurant scene.We were met at the door by Kasia and her slick team of friendly and professional front of house staff and treated to some India-inspired cocktails from the inventive menu. Here, timeless classics neighbour Indian inspired masterpieces, using only fresh, seasonal ingredients. I was amazed by the refreshing, clean taste of my watermelon and cucumber punch (non-alcoholic £2.25) while my companion (a hard-to-please Indian food expert) opted for a decadent Slum Millionaire champagne cocktail (£7.50). The knowledgeable mixologist rustled both up from scratch in no time at all.We felt it only right to sample the ‘Bitings Menu’ (£2.20-£5.50) and ordered some tasty Crispy Bhajias – very finely sliced potato in crispy gram flour batter. These were perfectly seasoned and a great accompaniment to our drinks.Namaskar’s décor is extravagant, boasting marble flooring imported from India and a very grand staircase to gastronomic heaven.The bar/lounge area is stylish and spacious and would lend itself well to a trendy party or high profile event.Upstairs we discovered an open kitchen which lines one side of the room – talented chefs in smart uniform were hard at work.We were soon so discover that the care and attention that went into the magnificent interior is mirrored in the fantastic food experience – Namaskar is definitely a place for a foodie!We were shown to our seats and Papad (Popadums) and Namaskar Pickles (slightly morish) were brought to our table.The chefs prepared a selection of delicious starters for us to try (£3.90-£7.90). This comprised of chicken, lamb and king prawns from the tandoor clay oven marinated to perfection, BBQ Paneer Tikka cheese and fresh naan bread.Our waiters were proud to recommend Grover Vineyard Indian wine to accompany our meal (£4.95 a glass) – I had Cabernet Shiraz which was an utter beast in a chilled glass with its smoky intense flavour (due to the terroirs) and a great compliment to the spicy banquet.My companion had a Sauvignon Blanc which was complex and oaky – again a perfect partner to our food.After a pause and a chat to digest the magnificent starters, a selection of mains arrived (£8.50-£19.60):All curries were cooked to perfection – the star of the show for me was a chicken Mirch – very hot and excellently spiced with distinctive flavours of black pepper corns and curry leaves. The Adrakh was also fabulous with its whole spices and ginger. We had well-cooked Jeera rice to accompany. We also enjoyed Saag Aloo and Chicken Patiala (a house special - omelette style dish with spinach stolen from a trip to Mumbai).The Indian breads were very good (all around £2.00) – we had a selection of Naans with fresh Nigella seeds, Chapati and a Roomali Roti cooked fresh in the tandoor. Hankering for something sweet, we opted for Gulab Jamoon to share - an Indian version of warm donuts floating in warm sweet syrup. This is a staple in most parts of India and for us, the perfect end to a perfect meal.Bristol certainly has an Indian restaurant to rave about – well done Namaskar!Reviewed by Catherine Farinha
