By far the best Vegetarian restaurant in Bristol ( Southwest of England). The food, service and ambiance exceeded our expectations. The food is as good as the authentic Indian food we get back home. We tasted Gobi65, South and North Indian Thalis. The taste was top notch , service and cleanliness was excepmplorary. This restaurant has set the benchmark now and we will always end up comparing other restaurants with this restaurant and also our future visits to today's visit :). We will definitely visit again to taste all other items on the menu. Keep up the good work

Tried 9.99 unlimited brunch at the weekend and i was pretty liked it!!! You can pick everything on the self bar but need to order Dosa from the lovely staffs. The food is tasty, the restaurant is very clean and well organised, can’t ask more!! the brunch is available from 9 to 11:30am on the weekend. It might be very busy after 10am, be an early bird and enjoy your food!! Keep your receipts, you always get 5% points on your meal, and could apply to your next visit! (spend you should, save where you can)

I had a great visit to Crispy Dosa! The dosa was perfectly crispy and delicious, paired nicely with chutney. The coffee was rich and aromatic—a perfect combo. Friendly service and cozy vibe made it even better. Highly recommend!

Craving for Indian food in Bristol, it's one of the best places to visit. The food was tasty & the quantity was sufficient. The cost is not on the higher side. They do play Hindi songs , to add more flavour to your food...hehehe. The service was quick & fast. The staff were friendly. The ambience of the place is really cute. Most importantly they have a variety of Indian food options available in their menus. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in Bristol & want to try out some Indian food.

Authentic South Indian Delight I had the pleasure of trying their Saturday morning unlimited buffet for just 9.99, and it was worth every penny! The food was simply amazing, authentic flavors that transported me straight to South India. The dosa was perfectly crisp, paired with rich, flavorful sambar and two types of chutney (tomato and coconut), both absolutely delicious. The idlis were wonderfully soft, and the poori was light and tasty. The buffet also included fresh kesari and pongal, which were delightful and full of authentic taste. What made the experience even better was the enthusiastic team of kids who were serving. They were full of life, always attending to us with a smile, and even took the time to interact and ask for our opinion about the food. Their energy and friendliness added a special touch to the meal. Every dish was freshly made and full of flavor. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine South Indian cuisine!
