Bandook - Indian Restaurant, Bath

We had a wonderful first experience at bandook this evening. The food is such high quality, amazing flavours and so hot and fresh. The menu has a wide variety of the dishes to choose from and everything was delicious. I have coeliac, and gluten free (and vegetarian and dairy free) items are clearly marked on the menu (large selection to choose from). The squid and duck dosa were my personal favourites, and both things you’d usually not expect to be gluten free! Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning! Thank you for such a lovely meal!

Absolute gem of a place. Incredible value for their lunch menu - £15 for pilau rice, lamb/chicken curry and either samosa chaat or kale pakora chaat. At that price its easily the best value for money Indian I have ever had and third best curry i have ever had in the uk (including Gibraltar which has my number 1) All of it was cooked to perfection and the kale pakora chaat in particular was on another level. My partner is gluten free and the only issue she had with the gluten free options was the excessive choice! Barely anything contained gluten which was pleasing to see (my mum is also a coeliac and i’ll be bringing her!) Staff were attentive and friendly and even when we payed and were just finishing our drinks, they gave us a complementary cup of tea 👍

Lovely tasty meals that you can ask for to be tailored to the spice you need. Chicken wings and squid were amazing. Curry choice seemed limited but grandmas was very nice with the extra green chilli kick, and there was plenty in the bowl. My vegetarian and gluten free friends were very impressed with their options. Only slight disappointment was the soggy biscuit they put into my small £11 martini meaning i couldn’t drink much as there was gross wet biscuit floating in half of it and also once we finished dinner and were waiting for desert, the staff were all chatting and non attentive and in the end, after a long wait, we had to ask to get someones attention to order. All in all, I recommend this to friends and colleagues bar the martini and hopefully table service is a little more planned/frequent after menus are dropped off.
