About Eastern Taste
On St Marks Rd, Eastern Taste serves Indian food in the evenings, Monday to Saturday, with Sundays closed. Diners can bring their own bottle rather than order from a bar, and the kitchen adjusts spice levels and dishes to taste rather than sticking to a fixed set menu. Dal and prawn puri sit alongside lamb naga chili and naga chicken on a six-dish menu, and mint chutney comes with the meal. Chicken pakora and milk tea or sweet lassi round out the ordering. The restaurant runs on a walk-in basis, and food can also be arranged for collection.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the naga chicken and lamb naga chili for their kick, with reviewers praising how staff customise spice levels to taste rather than serving a standard menu. The mint chutney and dal also draw mentions. Several note the BYOB policy stretches reasonable prices further, and the welcoming front of house keeps multiple reviewers returning as regulars.

“I been ordering from them since 2 years for collection, I can say this is one of the few restaurants I know where the staff especially Rabel and chef are happy to take order and cook as per your taste instead of just giving standard off shelf menu. I would highly recommend this place if you want your food to taste according to your requirements.”

“I always order from here. I recommend this place to everyone. Everyone including myself thinks it's amazing. Best curry place around.”

“I recently visited Eastern Taste in Bristol, and it turned out to be such a lovely experience for a foody like me. I tried the prawn puri, chicken pakora, dal, lamb naga chili, milk tea, and sweet lassi, and every dish was full of flavour. They do an amazing job with spice levels. I like my food flavourful and overwhelmingly hot, and they customised everything exactly the way I wanted. The lamb naga chili had the perfect kick, and the dal was warm and comforting. Their mint chutney is honestly the absolute showstopper. Sweet, tangy and so delicious that I kept reaching for more. On top of the great food, their welcoming behaviour really stood out. The staffs were kind, attentive and made me feel genuinely cared for, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, Eastern Spice has definitely become one of the restaurant visiting repeatedly in Bristol. Highly recommended for both the food and the hospitality!”

“Only recently found this amazing place after moving to Easton. You feel welcomed immediately and the food is just as impressive as the service. BYOB means you can spend more on the incredibly reasonable food as, after trying it once, you'll want to order the whole menu. Firm favourite and a new regular”
- Lee Hampshire
“Great food and great service! Really nice front of house staff and very reasonable prices! Can highly recommend the Naga chicken. Byo as well which is perfect ✨ Will definitely be back.”
