Most Popular Asian food in Cheltenham, England, United Kingdom
Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Cheltenham. Cheltenham was just your average, sleepy town until the discovery of a spring in 1716, after which it became Britain's most popular spa town. (Like Palm Springs without the casinos.) Local Cheltonians have a reputation for being wealthy and respectable, and a walk along the Promenade will give you a first-class view of their wonderful houses, shops and gardens. After taking in the waters at the Pittville Pump Room (great name for a spa), check out the Art Gallery and Museum to learn about the social history of Cheltenham.

I agree totally with the previous reviewer. We have been to the restaurant several times before and have always had friendly service and found it to have a pleasant ambience - in fact we've recommended it to Gold Cup guests in the past. but this evening it was like an entirely different place. The waitress was unfriendly, surly, ungracious and made us feel very unwelcome - not a smile in sight. We felt she couldn't wait to rush us through our meal, give us the bill and get us to leave. And not a word of farewell when we went. When will restaurateurs realise that we pay a lot of money to eat out, and it isn't just about being fed, it's about having an enjoyable evening too - and it is the service that makes the difference. Either they have changed their staff or they save the best for the weekends (we went on a Thursday evening and it was pretty quiet....only 3 tables in total). Please take note of this, Siam Smile, or you will find your loyal following will diminish quickly in a town this size once the word gets around. No restaurant can afford to become complacent - there are lots of others springing up around you, including a newish Thai restaurant in Montpellier. The food was fine, but as I say it's just as much about the ambience as the food. I don't think we'll be going back.

I have eaten here numerous times now with family, friends and business colleagues and have never been disappointed. The menu is superb with an excellent range of speciality dishes and well as some traditional favourites for the less adventurous. The restaurant is tastelfully decorated and the staff are courteous and helpful at all times. This is not your avarage Indian restaurant and warrants the slightly higher than avarage price you'll pay for the food. the restuarant is located a few miles out of Cheltenham and you'll ned to drive there or get a taxi but there is plenty of parking and its well worth the effort IMHO.

First visit to this restaurant and glad I did! Great food and the owner was very welcoming and friendly. We had pani puri, chicken lollipops and tandoori chicken for starters and my wife and I were very impressed! The mains were lamb rogan josh and goat curry.

First visit since itâs been rebranded as Bhoomi Kitchen, and honestly apart from missing the white tablecloths and minor changes to the seating, I could not tell the difference Same fantastic food, maybe a few more choices and focus on Kerala food, same nice decor, and busy. Initially you might think portion sizes are a bit meagre, but they punch over their weight in deliciousness. The Chilli Chicken remains an all time favourite.Excellent and attentive staff, Iâll be back.

Reviewed By 649JohnC649
Another year, another visit to the Cheltenham literature festival, another outstanding meal at Prithvi. This has to be one of our most favourite restaurants-an Indian restaurant...that does not serve curry!!! This year we ate the 5 course tasting menu, priced at £59. Meat, fish, vegetables...every course a beautifully balanced blend of flavours, textures and spicing. Innovative, creative, a restaurant like no other... forced to choose we would eat here over Benares/Cinnamon Club/ Namaste Spice. Quite how it does not have a Michelin star is beyond me... though perhaps in terms of price and accessibility we should be pleased!

This was only my second visit since this fantastic restaurant opened. Our party of five had 4 different starters and 5 different main courses. Each and every one was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Friendly and attentive but unobtrusive staff and the food excellent value for money. With a complementary birthday cake thrown in, this catch up with family and friends turned into a lovely impromptu early birthday celebration.The only downside? I no longer live locally so cannot visit more often.Dear Graham,We appreciate your time and efforts to state your experiences on Trip Adviser, for the benefit of the others. Truly touched by your words of appreciation and encouragement.Further to your tremendous dining experience, you have made additional efforts to elaborate details of our food and service. We are honoured to have genuine patrons like you who acknowledge our endeavour.Looking forward to another opportunity to serve you again.Best Regards,Team Bangkok Kitchen
