Indian food in Bath

Street-food kitchens, modern Indian dining and regional cooking.

Bath may be compact, but its Indian dining scene has real range. City-centre restaurants sit alongside neighbourhood spots in Widcombe and beyond, with menus moving between street food, tandoor cooking, modern fine dining and regional Indian traditions.

The strongest restaurants have distinct identities rather than relying on one standard formula, whether that comes through presentation, regional roots or a particular approach to ingredients.

How we choose: Curry House Guide considers public reputation, review depth, food-hygiene standards and what is distinctive about the food. Restaurants cannot pay to qualify for inclusion.
