This restaurant is my favourite in cheltenham. Everything about this place is superlative, the decor, the service, the maitre d's moustache... however it is the food which is the star of the show. Stunning flavours, presented beautifully and so refined. Unlike a lot of gourmet restaurants you actually leave feeling like you've had a proper meal, and a proper Indian meal, completely satisfied in belly and soul. Go.
Exceptional from the starter to dessert.
Service 10/10 highly recommend for an authentic yet fine dining experience.
Prawn and lobster curry was amazing, chocolate samosa dessert really gets you thinking.
Let me start by thanking Michael and his super staff....giving a shout out to Andreađź‘Źfor their excellent service.
I hosted a dinner party for my husbands special birthday and it was amazing.
From the moment we arrived, enjoying our cocktails then going to our private room for dinner couldn't have been more perfect.
I had opted for the 5 course taster menu which from beginning to end was faultless. They catered to individual dietary needs as well making it enjoyable for all.
Some of us had the wine flights which were perfect choice to compliment the meal.
I cannot wait to go back and enjoy another meal there very soon!
This is a very special place. Beautiful luxurious environment. Fantastic food. Attentive staff. 5 stars ďż˝

Oh Wow!!! The decor, tableware and glassware are so sophisticated but its the food that steals the show! Amazing flavours, great presentation and the staff so friendly. I will certainly return.
Had a takeaway from here this evening, delivery earlier than expected, and by far the best currys we have ever had! Will definitely be visiting the restaurant as soon as possible ďż˝
Absolutely fantastic food and service. Definitely recommend the tasting menu.
First this isn't 5* its 10, amazing food and service. Best place to eat in Cheltenham with out a doubt. Michael and his team are so professional and friendly and the kitchen produce delicious fresh food. I wish this was still on my door step. Well done bhoomi, love you more and more every time!
Wonderful food, just took partner there for 50th birthday.
Absolutely faultless - thank you!
Having not eaten much Indian food before, Bhoomi completely went beyond all expectations! Superb food which was all delicious, nothing to hot and very nicely balanced. We enjoyed a superb meal and it's great to see attention to detail in every element, from the food to restaurant décor. Would highly recommend it. Thank you Bhoomi for a great night. I look forward to bringing friends.
God mat, mycket bra service o lugnt o skönt så man kan prata ned varandra
Lovely ambience and friendly staff. The banquet was amazing. So many different flavours and everything was cooked perfectly. Great to be able to sample lots of dishes. Very refined and well presented and excellent value. We both really enjoyed our meal and will return when in the area again.
What an amazing dinner!
Staff were so friendly and polite, very accommodating to vegans. We had the vegan banquet which is not on the menu they adapt it on request.
For starter poppadoms with tomato, mango chutney with a chili tomato paste. Next a course of 3 vegan small plates followed by 2 mains plus sides of roti and rice.
The aubergine curry was unreal!! I would highly recommend to everyone and anyone! Best dish I have had in a long time!
For dessert we shared a banana pancake with vegan ice cream.
Such a great place, wish we lived closer because I would defo be coming back again.

Must say, we, the wife and I were very impressed with the fare and hospitality at the Bhoomi last Sunday 03/08/23.
What started initially as a well planned trip to sample their Sunday thali meal offering after reading about a restaurant award they had received recently, we were, instead rerouted to the Keralan Harvest Festival Onam fare, (traditionally celebrated at this time of year back in that South Western corner of India -with some even go as far as to claim Kerala as “God’s Own Country” no less!).
We were offered 21 different vegetarian dishes which signify this auspicious festival- each arriving in small boat shaped individual dishes and served on typical South Indian style plates ie banana leaves. There were second helpings of some of the fare, if one wanted some. Being satiated, we had to call a halt to our feasting. Another party who were sat on the other side of the room, were enjoying extra portions with some relish.
The staff together with the part owner , Lizzie ( her husband being away at their other facility in Oxford) were very attentive and helpful in typical South Indian fashion.
Gave only 3* for atmosphere, owing to just 6 of us at that sitting which somehow diminished what should have been a lively affair. Hopefully, the next time when this event gets further and widespread publicity.
Decor was simply outstanding and elegant to add further ambiance to this fine dining place.
We will definitely be back! To sample many of their other South Indian dishes- not least the appam ( one of my all time breakfast favourites).
If you are looking to tasting proper Indian food (with respect to those who frequent Bangla owned “Indian” outlets), this is a real place to truly discern authentic dishes wonderfully prepared (three Keralan chefs) and served well at Bhoomi. Make a trip. You won’t be disappointed.
One of my favourite places. The food is delicious. The service is brilliant and the place has such gorgeous decor.
Really delicious and unusual flavours, with exceptional service. I was surprised by how reasonable the food was for someone so unique. Rice pancakes were to die for and lovely cardamom flavoured mango lassi. Overall fantastic experience.
In a city filled with Indian food options this place is clearly the best. You will pay a premium price, but the quality of the food is unrivaled. Authentic and incredibly good. I've settled into my favorite combination of items, but honestly everything I've tried has been perfect. I go with the butter chicken, garlic and coriander naan, and pulao rice. Take away is excellent, but dining in is even better. The service staff are friendly and inviting. This may be my favorite restaurant in Cheltenham.

We went there for Valentine's day. It's a really nice and welcoming restaurant. The food was amazing and the wine pairing was perfect. Worth going back
Went back recently as I was tops it was more of an Indian tapas place. However I wouldn't class it as that. They do small plates for the starters but the mains are standard. But everything is very good. Great decor and great service. I would always say it's worth trying.
I would like it if they had more tapas available so you could just order lots of various tapas for a group .
Update Decemeber 2021, we have had takeaway from Bhoomi about 4 times over various different lockdowns and we loved it. The butter chicken is my favourite.
We decided to go for a Friday lunch and they do a lunchtime special Thali, which is a variety of different flavours in one serving and at a low cost. I loved it! Definitely worth trying. I always try the chicken wings as I like to rank what are the best chicken wings in Cheltenham! The bbq butter chicken wings are outstanding!
Also please try the date and almond naan. In my view the best naan ever!
Great lunch experience. Warm welcome and opportunity to talk about the food and requirements with helpful staff. We chose the thali and were very impressed with the various dishes. Everything was also nicely presented, the environment is relaxing and the music was at just the right level. The quality of the desserts was also outstanding and they were not overly sweet which I particularly appreciated. Shame we live so far away as we would definitely be back soon otherwise.
The interior is splendid and beautiful. Food was made to an excellent standard. Ajay was brilliant with his service from start to finish - a pleasant bloke with great customer service throughout whole dining. Rajesh was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place if south indian food is of interest and you fancy a feast accompanied by world class customer service. Personal favourite was dosa and Gulab Jamun.
I went for a Friday lunch with friends and we chose Bhoomi Kitchen because I had heard good things about their Oxford location. I had the Butter Chicken Thali that made a great lunch. High quality and interesting to boot. Easy to book and friendly helpful staff. A perfect venue.
Nice warm atmosphere. Really nice staff. Given a birthday candle. ÂŁ80 for 2 courses and beers.
Amazing food and nice staff, lots of good vegetarian options. We had some paneer that was cooked beautifully, and if you like it spicy, they can turn up the heat
This has been one of our favourite and go to restaurants over many years; however, the last 4 times we were slightly disappointed with both the service and the quality of the food. The condiments accompanying the popodams were unimpressive as compared to before, for the mains, the sauce seemed the same on a few of the dishes and not overly warm in temperature. It was just not the taste experience we have previously enjoyed. Still a good restaurant but no longer rushing back.... sorry.
