Nutmeg Indian Restaurant

A fabulous meal and service. The restaurant is a cut above the "normal" Indian, the menu was interesting and different. We were a party of 4 including a coeliac sufferer and we were well looked after by attentive and friendly staff. We each had something different, although shared samosas and Bhajis to start, every selection was delightful, including the sweets. The house white was excellent and reasonably priced. Yes its a bit more than the average Indian but well worth it. THANK YOU.

great Indian food with a slight twist which elevates it from the normal Indian restaurant, try the Mechli chicken delish !!!!!!! Service was spot on and attentive.

Lovely restaurant, excellent food. Evening slightly spoiled by a group of 6 men and women in their 50's who were ridiculously loud. It was left to a fellow diner to have a word with them rather the restaurant staff dealing with it.

Very good and interesting food. Real cooking, and a varied menu.. Service very friendly but a bit disorganised. Would definitely go again, sooner rather than later.

Great first experience. Amazing food very different to the norm. Reasonable prices too. Only quibble - tables not wiped down between courses. Will be going again very soon.

It was amazing night, and even know the food was different to other Indians I've been to, 3/4 of us really enjoyed it. And Staff was fantastic.

An excellent restaurant with some great dishes and very well presented, but you need to book. Not a traditional Indian restaurant but real class. an eating experience and everything is freshly prepared

Excellent, we shared 4 starters and re ordered the lamb cutlet and giant prawns. Despite the restaurant being full we had the perfect dish each time.

Great, authentic food, friendly staff and good location. Can't wait to go back. Restaurant is a bit on the small side so make sure you book a table to avoid disappointment.

Great Indian food in a modern decor setting. Recommended. Get a cheesy Saag aloo on the side! Were very accommodating with a free cocktail and singing happy birthday for the birthday boy!

Food was excellent, the dishes were well cooked and tended more to the spicy side. Paneer starter was juicy and they had interesting chutneys for the popadoms. For main we had khadi paneer, dhal and bindi, all very tasty! This was however undermined slightly with slow disjointed service , must remember that they are still finding their feet only opening 5 months ago.

Delicious food, a great atmosphere, with friendly and accommodating staff made for a very enjoyable evening. I would recommend and would definitely return. Each curry I tasted (4 in total) had a wonderful taste, my main was the pork chop vindaloo which was the perfect heat.

Great meal, we will be back! We went for the lunch menu, which had small portions of main, side, rice/naan and a drink for 12.95 - good value and delicious.

The food was great and the service was excellent even though the restaurant was really busy nothing was too much trouble ..we will definitely be returning

Fabulous starters followed by distinctly disappointing mains. Vegetarians please note, for an Indian restaurant, there is extremely limited choice. The service was swift and the decor / atmosphere good - although the acoustics are such that when the restaurant fills up the noise level is quite overpowering.

Lovely atmosphere and food is wonderful, very tasty and better than the average Indian!! We have been here a few times now and we'll be back again!!

Quite a varied menu with interesting selection of fish, meat and veggie. Good presentation and extremely tasty. Friendly staff and a nice buzzy atmosphere. Enjoyable evening.

Excellent lunch very well cooked at competitive price. Very attentive service. Will come to lunch again on a Friday booking table 17. Music too intrusive especially as we were the only diners and asked for it to be turned off.

The manager ruined our dinner because she was constantly correcting the staff with rude manners in front of the customers. We find this unprofessional. The food is average.

Fantastic food, really fresh and cooked very well, particularly the Scallops. Service was also very attentive, even though it was a very busy night. Highly recommend!

It was fabulous good atmosphere, service and food, will certainly be back. Great to have an alternative to Raj which is also but more traditional.

This was our first visit to nutmeg restaurant. We were greeted by friendly staff . Our waiters were very good . Our whole meal was very nice .nothing was to must trouble for the staff .will definitely visit again

Lovely place and amazing food. Only 5 stars because the service was a little bit slow but really friendly. Other than that it was fabulous!

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service! We couldn't improve our experience, everything was wonderful. We will definitely be making another visit very soon. Thank you Nutmeg Bristol!

Service concentrated on selling drinks - cocktailenus ahead of food menus! Almost 1 hour wait between started and main and we complained as 1 "seafood" main had a few pieces of fish and no prawns, scallops or mussels as described. Staff good. Chef good. Menu be. Reality gap

Good service and the food was very good. Only thing was that we were given poppadoms and chutney which we hadn't actually ordered and which were not complimentary - however they were delicious!

Nutmeg is a lovely, small, independent restaurant, the staff were great, I had a fabulous Sacred Garden cocktail and the food was amazing, with some unusual vegetarian dishes. I can't fault the evening.

Absolutely love this place. We visited the first week they were open and were the only diners in the restaurant so had the full attention of the owner and team. Tonight they were full and the attention to detail with the service was the same - the flavours are fresh and balanced, great choice within the menu, fabulous cocktails. A first rate addition to the Clifton restaurant scene.

Great food, with exciting and tasty dishes that differ from the normal curry house offering! Great atmosphere and very attentive and polite waiter/waitress service! 6 out of 6!

First time eating at Nutmeg, staff were excellent, food was excellent, I always have a Biryani when I go for an Indian, I tried it here, delicious.

Outstanding service. Great atmosphere. Tantalising and surprising (in a good way!) tastes with great guidance for novices or the inquisitive alike! Couldn't fault it and will be going back.

The best restaurant in Bristol - fabulous food , great service and of course great drinks . Third time here from me and am still amazed by the Beef Madras

Great food, lively atmosphere (on a Saturday evening) and very friendly & helpful staff! I would highly recommend. We took our 10 year old and the staff were very accommodating to her too!

Much anticipated visit to Nutmeg. Food was delicious but unfortunately ambience not. Was seated updstairs on a table for 2 that felt like an afterthought. I like to sit opposite my date not next too them and the staff serving other tables having to pass so closely made the experience uncomfortable. The temperature was also far too warm. Note, ask for a table downstairs next time.

Having just spent a holiday in India, this restaurant is the real deal. A very good range of dishes from all over India. The chef is from Delhi.

We absolutely love Nutmeg! Delicious Indian food with a twist, not your everyday Indian food! Always rich in flavour and texture and always tastes freshly cooked and well prepared! Excellent value for money as well!

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and they also had New Years eve cocktails making our night start off just right! I definitely recommend a visit here and the fish dishes were so tasty!

Lovely atmosphere, great service and lush food. A different take on some classic dishes and generous portions which could be a little large for some as if like me you like to have side dishes to try out too. Lovely would and have already recommend.

The food was good and the menu impressive. The waiting staff were particularly friendly and helpful and the whole atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming. Definitely recommend a visit.

Great tasting menu, good atmosphere. We enjoyed having a different Indian dining experience that allowed us to try food and dishes that we might not otherwise have considered.

Great authentic food and really friendly staff. Try the sample menu it's good valley and gives you a chance to try something new. We will definitely book again.

The food was lovely and the staff were really friendly. Our waiter was particularly welcoming and we didn't wait long for food to arrive. We all enjoyed our visit.

The staff were friendly and welcoming but the service was very slow. One hour between starter and main course. There was one stage when not one table downstairs had food on it! The quality of the food was very good but it just took too long to get it.

Lovely food with a good choice of dishes on the menu. Good atmosphere too. Nice touch with complimentary mini poppadoms and chutneys whilst you make your choices. Friendly, helpful staff.

We had heard great reviews about the restaurant and were expecting a bit of a wow factor, but unfortunately this was sadly lacking. We found the staff friendly and helpful and we'd give 4 stars for service, but the food would be 3 stars tops.

A wonderful indian dining experience, with attentive service, good value Malbec wine and truly delicious dishes. There were 6 of us, each having a different main dish, and all were excellent. We were not disappointed and nor will you be.

Great choice of dishes all very well seasoned. Loved the complimentary poppadums. Service was first rate and pricing was very reasonable. We will definitely return.

Amazing food. One of the best Indian meals for a long time. Good service. Starters of cod and lamb chops awesome. Certainly a must for future visits to Clifton.

The food was excellent as was the service. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, The menu was a great selection with plenty to choose from without being too many items. Absolutely delicious.

Great food, reasonable service. We booked a table for 19:15 on a Saturday night. On arrival we were told that our table was required at 21:00. This seemed pretty reasonable however the starters and mains both took a while to arrive, so much so that we didn't vacate the table until 21:15. The restaurant is new and the staff are obviously still learning but I strongly suggest that they focus more on the speed of service than making customers feel that they need to get out of tables as the reality is that if we hadn't needed to wait so long for our food we would have been out at least half an hour earlier. The food was worth the wait so I hope the issues we experienced were just teething issues for a new restaurant.
