Very pleasantly surprised by this unassuming little Indian in Watchet. It was blowing a gale when we went, and we waited for our take-out food in the Pebbles Tavern, a few paces away (see review for that separately – great little place). We had takeout, so didn’t get the full ‘eat-in atmosphere’ but it was seemingly buzzing with happy punters, and plenty of take-outers drifting in as well.
We ordered a decent range of food, a selection of curries, biryanis and side dishes (I’ve provided the entire menu in the pics) and can honestly say they were all very well-spiced and very tasty.
Bonus point for the staff member who identified as we were about to leave with our food that the vegetable curry for one of the biryanis was not vindaloo-strength (as I always order) and had us wait for a couple of minutes to bring a second batch with a healthy topping of green chillies…..perfect – well, for me anyway.
I don’t go to Watchet often, but I know now that there is a good Indian to be had – and its close to a fantastic little real ale / real cider bar. Prices not so bad either on the face of it.

We were so pleased to find great Indian food in Watchet. The service and meals were excellent. The portions were generous and the prices were very fair. The papadums, along with all the sides, were very creative and flavorful. The mixed tandoori grill was excellent. It’s great to return to my original home town (and country) to enjoy wonderful food.

As a single man I eat out on my own a lot. I have ate here before and everything was fantastic. But on this occasion, when I asked for a table I was told it was fully booked with an empty restaurant.
I left and thought this to be strange so I rang the restaurant. Told them I would like to book a table for two in 15 minutes and they booked the table instantly.
I went in to comfort the restaurant about this and the continued to lie, saying they are fully booked and they haven’t taken a call recently.
This is complete discrimination against a single person. There was no apology or explanation.
The restaurant is stunning it’s a shame the staff are so arrogant.

We visited the beach, and afterwards we found this restaurant. Initially, we came just for some snacks, but after seeing the menu we decided to have a full dinner. The food was truly authentic, with perfect spice levels — pure Indian taste! Every curry, roti, and main course was delicious. After a long time, I felt like I was having home-cooked food, even though we were far from the city. The hospitality was outstanding, and we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary dal. Very thankful to the team!

Brilliant restaurant in the heart of beautiful Watchet sommerset. Lovely menu full of Indian delight. I had the lamb tikka cooked to perfection with a lovely keema Nan. Very friendly welcoming staff who seated us no problem without booking. Very reasonable prices. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. A pay and display car park is conveniently positioned a few minutes away. This restaurant is a little gem for those wishing to add a little spice to their visit to this historical little town.

Very positive experience. Amazing service, food was ordered and arrived within 15 minutes. The staff were all polite and respectful and allowed for a lovely meal out. The food was well presented and flavourful and couldn’t be faulted, the entire family loved it. The small details within the service were much appreciated. Was our first time going and we’ll be back soon!!

Insane food! Had the Onion Bhaji, Chicken Pakoras and samosas to start and have to say these were insane! Same with the mains. The team were short staffed, but we were extremely impressed 10/10 service from both the servers! Well done spice merchant!

The only thing good was the food if a little on the cool side. Service was disappointing considering we had booked a table they didn’t know where to sit us so put us on a small table by the toilet door, considering other big tables were available for us to sit at . The waiter who served us was as about as welcoming as Covid was.
The food was very nice but only warm to eat it could and should been hotter? However serving me food in a cracked bowl with part of the edge missing was very poor. Unfortunately we won’t be going back any time soon.
