Bandook – Indian Restaurant, Bath

1. We visited the restaurant on a Sunday evening. The menu was well designed with enough options for a vegetarian palate.

   The food was delicious, service was quick and the ambience was lovely. The kids enjoyed the meal and so did the adults.

   Highly recommend this place…

2. This restaurant is clearly from heavens. A treat of authentic Indian food. And what an amazing team. The owner Moe is super humble. And Pallavi is just fabulous, she ensured we are well taken care with deliciously hot food and service.

3. A gem of a place in Bath, the food was not very spicy but am sure could ask for it, the bandook chaat was excellent. The coconut Naans were superb but on the small size. Grandma’s chicken curry was ok, will try a second time to se if it could push to a rare 5 stars

4. Bandook in Bath is truly a hidden gem tucked away in a lively shopping center. Stepping into the restaurant, I was immediately charmed by the inviting decor and impressed by the quick and attentive service that made my dining experience a breeze.

   We started off with a delightful selection of Chilean and Argentinean red wines, poured generously and bursting with flavors that set the tone for the meal. The mince keema pav brought back memories of my mother’s mince curry in South Africa, warming my heart with its delicious flavors.

   Moving on to the chaat, we enjoyed the explosion of tastes, although a touch of mint sauce could have elevated the dish by balancing the tamarind flavors. The Kerela chicken stood out with its crispy texture and intricate curry leaf spice mix, but I couldn’t help but feel that a dipping sauce would have completed the dish perfectly.

   The Bombay prawns intrigued me with their tasty dry spice coating, yet I longed for a bit more moisture to enhance the overall mouthfeel. The combination of coconut and masala added a delightful sweet and spicy twist to the dish.

   However, the butter chicken and rice failed to impress with its overpowering tomato flavor and lack of the rich, buttery taste I had anticipated. It was a dish I would likely skip on my next visit.

   Despite some hits and misses, my overall experience at Bandook warrants a 3.5 rating. It’s a restaurant worth exploring for its unique flavors and attentive service, offering a mixed but memorable dining experience that will leave you curious for more.

5. A premium restaurant with lovely decor and interior.

   The welcome and service was good as you’d expect but whole the food was good and flavourful, it failed to impress. The grilled wings tasted nice and was presented well when served, however the chicken itself didn’t seem fresh. I enjoyed the butter chicken, paneer tikka masala and the lamb biryani. The lamb biryani had a good quantity of meat pieces. Overall it was definitely worth visiting – its inside Milsom Place so not visible from the road itself. Milsom place is an indoor shopping parade.
