Brunel Raj in Bristol

Staff and restaurant very nice and polite it was very busy on 29th January but they managed to get food on time Great service

Food average but the service was horrendous!!!!Rude waiter that rushed us to order, rushed us to eat, rushed us to pay and then said get out quick we have people waiting for your order! If you were that busy you shouldn't have let us in!!!!

Good food, but a bit expensive for what we had. £57 for two curries, two starters, a beer and a bottle of water was a bit steep even if it was well cooked and quite tasty.

Very traditional curry restaurant. Well priced, good (though not exceptional) service and tasty food. Not a gourmet's choice, but on the upside you don't have to spend a lot of time working out the menu.

okay curry, not amazing. the mains came out very quickly after our starters. cant complain too much but often i like more than 5 minutes between courses! okay service too.

If you’re looking for a great curry,friendly staff and a location near several of Clifton’s best pubs then you can’t beat the Brunel Raj. I’ve been dining here for many many years usually on a ‘boyz’ mid week night out and I honestly believe the Raj produce some of the best curries in Bristol! We’ve tried the majority of other Indian restaurants around Bristol and although a few others are pretty good we still gravitate back to our favourite! The guys there know us by name and usually what we’re going to order and always make time for a chat. All in all a place worth trying!

Hate leaving negative reviews. Quite possibly the worst curry I have had. The staff were not interested in being polite either. Not what it used to be :-( maybe changed ownership/management since I ate there a few years back?

Clearly focussed on table turnover.I went with a date who had been before. She said sometimes they can be very pushy, and get you to order your main at the same time as your starter, and then bring your main out even before you've finished your starter.Low and behold they asked us FOUR times during starters to order the mains but my date wouldn't because she knew what they would do. Around us other tables were being given their mains while the starters were still being eaten. Finally towards the end of starters my date was happy to give the main order, but still the mains came before we had finished the starters.At the end after paying, they asked us to not take too long because they want the table, and that they had to turn two other tables away because we took so long.This really made us feel unwelcome, if they want to operate like this they should at least should tell you when you book, like some places do. then people know the situation. It's a shame because the food is really good, but won't be returning. The Nutmeg next door with get my business from now on.

Its Friday, it's the weekend! Despite the covid threat we are spending a weekend in Bristol and in particular around Clifton. We've had a few drinks in the Quadrant around the corner and now we are hungry. This was our third choice as the others were fully booked. Small and intimate and not particularly welcoming, this curry house is the only one I have known that has a "joss stick" aroma throughout....quite weird. The food was ok, annoyingly small wine glasses for our red wine and even more annoying you are not permitted to share a main course!! Ah well....there loss because we just ordered less side dishes. It was pleasant enough but nothing special....

Good food. Authentic Indian, been around for a long time and still standing strong through lockdown.
