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.
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.
One of my favourite places. The food is delicious. The service is brilliant and the place has such gorgeous decor.
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.
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
Nice warm atmosphere. Really nice staff. Given a birthday candle. £80 for 2 courses and beers.
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.
Wow, wow, wow. As we visited Cotswold and were drawn to this restaurant by reviews that were already provided. It did not let us down as the ambience, the decor and the menu was superb. We ordered a few Thali's, Dahl, and lassi. The quality of food and service was excellent. The owner who so the chief also kept coming out to check on everyone, that showed he cared. If you are looking for a great Indian that is modern but with the original flavours of traditional Indian food then this is the place. It can be slightly spicy for younger kids but you need that spice for flavour so would recommend some yoghurt for table which worked for my 6 and 9 year olds. The prices were also great as well as the service and food. Certainly be back next time we visit Cotswold.
