The Mint Room

This is going to be a difficult review. I am reluctantly giving four stars because when seen relative to the price, it is really only 3 stars - it was okay. The food and the drinks were absolutely fine, as was the service and the atmosphere. It just did not warrant paying about twice as much as in any other decent Indian restaurant in the area.

Fantastic authentic Indian food, of a contemporary style and much emphasis on presentation. This is a cut above the average “Indian Restaurant”, and reflects its pricing. Somewhere to go perhaps for a special occasion rather than a “beer and curry Friday”. I frequently visit both of their branches on such occasions.

Great food Unusual tasty dishes in a really attractive setting. Spotless. More fine dining than cheap and cheerful traditional Indian food. Most staff were attentive and kind but service slow. However, one female member of staff seemed disinterested in us/her job when we visited and when getting towards closing time, made us feel uncomfortable, rushing us settle our bill so that she could finish work. This left a bitter taste in our mouths as we’d come for a birthday celebration and hadn’t complained once about the slow service, understanding what a difficult time hospitality has been experiencing.

We are visiting here after 4+ years. Atmosphere and service is top class, as always been. BIRIYANI here is the best in Bristol so far. Yenna kathrikka and coconut rice was a signature south Indian dish that we loved too. Mint cheese cake was great too. Added Mint room to our regular visiting restaurants list. See you soon, and more often. 😊
