Black Cumin

We had such a wonderful evening at Black Cumin. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We began with the Gol Gappa and Papdi Chaat, both bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. The Chilli Fish was perfectly spiced, and the meat sizzler (featuring Gilafi Seek Kebab, Tandoori Murgh, Murgh Malai and Salmon Tikka) arrived sizzling hot and cooked to perfection — a real showstopper! For mains, we tried the Chicken Lababdar, Kerala Prawn Curry, Black Cumin Duck, and Gosht Biryani. Each dish was rich, balanced, and full of depth — you could really taste the quality and care that went into every plate. The service was just as impressive as the food. A special shoutout to Reet, who looked after us so attentively throughout the evening — friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcome. Black Cumin is easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Bristol. We’ll definitely be back soon!

The best Indian restaurant we have been to in at least a decade. Superb! This is not a run of the mill curry house. This is Indian cuisine at its best. Tasty, interesting with some unusual items on the menu (such as apple and beetroot dips with the poppadoms). We cannotvwait to return.
