Charlotte Ivers took her mother to an Indian restaurant down a sidestreet in central Bristol that has achieved global fame (and a write-up in the New York Times, no less) via its cheesy TikTok videos of owner Sujith D’almeida and his staff singing and dancing to hit records.
It’s a “silly, warm, magical” place that aims to do little more than bring a few minutes’ happinesss into people’s lives – an aim in which it apparently succeeds.
“The grub is decent, at the upper end of what you’d expect from a classic local British Indian place,” says Charlotte. Palak kofta, samosa chat and mustard paneer tikka “are all perfectly edible, and the beef sukka — fenugreek, cardamom, fennel seed, cumin, coconut cream — that I get on the waiter’s recommendation is excellent”.
