  “Great Indian restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Everything we ordered was full of flavour, especially the lamb saag with spinach, which was outstanding. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Bath!”

  “The first Indian haute cuisine I ever tried, and somehow a fitting concept for the UK! It turned out to be really delicious; each dish was made with attention to detail, and taste are true to indien cuisine : strong spicy, and delicious. It was a fantastic unexpected discovery, that I would fully recommend! Prices are above average, but for what it is, and for the environment you get certainly, quite cheap actually!”

  “We were delighted with the whole set up at root spice. Firstly, we were pleased to find that our two dogs were welcome. The food was excellent with a great choice. They were able to advise me of a dairy free option. It is a really attractive venue, with a big of smooth jazz in the background. Excellent service and at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.”

  “Treated my two daughters to Root Spice on Friday night. It’s tucked away down stairs with a view from some tables of the river. We’ve were in town and fancied an Indian. Root Spice had great reviews on google so thought we were safe: Ordered 2 x glasses of Rose (I don’t think we confirmed the measure size). Obviously, they delivered large measures. 1 x Onion Bhaji 1 x Rice (very pushy for us to order another rice) 1 x Sag Aloo 1 x Butter Chicken 1 x Chicken Jalfrezi (we were warned the dish would be spicy). 1 x Lamb Biriani All the dishes arrived within 10-15 mins. The dishes weren’t hot so my guess is not freshly cooked! The lamb in the biriani was luke warm as was the chicken, which was dry and chewy! The icing on the cake was a long jet black hair (we are fair heads). In one of the two onion bhajis. When the waiter came to clear our plates we asked for a container as there was enough left, for another portion. I pointed this out to him re the hair in the bhaji and said ‘ok, ok’! I wasn’t sure he understood so alerted him again! I asked for the bill as we needed to leave. The waiter proceeded to come over with the desert menu! I asked again for the bill. After, 10 mins the bill didn’t present itself. So I called another waiter over! The bill was bought over and no mention of the hair in the food. No apology - £97+ was not worth it! We won’t be going back.”

  “Absolutely delicious! Good good, decent portions at a great price. Lamb chops were the best and the panner tikka moist and flavourful. The onion Bhaji were OK but a little too crispy on the outside for us. Chilli garlic chicken main was the best dish of the lot. Lovely & spicy and enough garlic to knock the vampires down from 30ft!”

  “Hidden away a short walk near Pulteney Bridge, Root Spice is an absolute gem. As you stroll past, the aroma of Indian spices drifting from the restaurant instantly teases your senses and sets the tone for what’s to come. The food was delicately flavoured, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully presented. Every dish we ordered was superb — perfectly balanced spices, fresh ingredients, and clearly cooked with care. The service is friendly and welcoming. A must-visit for anyone looking for exceptional, great-tasting Indian cuisine in Bath. Highly recommended! The Lunch Time deal is a great offering, as is the a’la carte menu.”

  “We visited using a First Table offer. Great food with friendly and helpful staff. We had the taster menu and all courses were very tasty. The staff were very accommodating, allowing swaps where the dish was not to our liking, e.g. swapping fish fit a meat alternative.”

  “Second time visiting. Once again had the tasting menu, it's been updated since we last visited. Some of the same dishes, but some have been updated to be much better suited to the tasting menu! The street food starters are lovely, the crab was delicious and the lamb is beautiful. But the best thing is the naan. I love the naan here. Inject it into my veins. Will be coming back.”

  “We visited here this evening and I wanted to leave a review before I forget! We went in as a walk in which was a gamble as you can’t see in from the road but we were pleasantly surprised. The service was very good, super attentive. The fish curry, coconut rice and naan bread deserve a special mention but all of it was great. I would recommend this place for date nights, it’s nicer than your standard curry house, prices are fair for the offering and the decor is smart. Portions are perfect. Not too much but not too little. We don’t live in the area so no idea if we will be back but if we get the chance then we will :)”
