Rajpoot Tandoori, Bath

At this multi award-winning restaurant, not only the tastes and smells of India await, but also you notice the sounds, sights and hospitality as the doorman ushers you in. Relax in the lounge with a drink, and then be seated in the India Cottage room or Old India room, both tastefully decorated to inspire the exotic atmosphere, which will enhance the whole experience. A full menu of exclusive Raj cuisine includes favourite tandoori and curry dishes as well as house specialities. A full three-course meal starts at less than £20. Please note: there is a minimum charge for evening diners of £16. Vegetarian options are available and not just as an afterthought—they are good enough to convert even the die-hard carnivores in your party. The wine list isn't exceptional, so plump for the house wine—it is cheap and perfectly quoffable.
