Kitted out in the finest Bollywood kitsch, this restaurant does one thing but does it well - thali. There's live music on Sunday evenings and they operate a tiffin takeout system, which explains why Montpelier residents keep coming and going with insulated take-away towers.

Exemplary Nepalese-run curry house. Moved from their original Easton location into the city centre at a time when David Blunkett, during his tenure as Home Secretary, had seen fit to place Easton's Stapleton Road among his 'top 5' UK troublespots. The family import their own spices from their home village of Bhajungle in Nepal and actor Paul McGann is numbered amongst their many fans.
