Welcome to the Myristica Indian Restaurant
Just off historic Queens Square, Bristol’s premier business district.Theatres close by are Bristol Old Vic, Bristol Hippodrome & The Colston Hall.Parking available on meters outside and pay & display car park next to River Station.
“This is a centre of food excellence with Severnshed, Riverstation and Aqua well established, and now Myristica bringing something new to the mix. We were a bit tucked away in King Street and this site will give us much more exposure,” says owner Amit Lakhani.
It was always Amit’s dream to bring the five star Indian experience to Bristol and, together with chefs recruited from some of Indian’s top hotels, the restaurant has earned many accolades – including being called ‘Best in Bristol’ by the Evening Post.
Myristica specialises in authentic, regional-specific Indian food and the menu goes far beyond what you’ll find on the highly Anglicised menus of normal curry houses. The menu reads like an Indian food odyssey with exotic ingredients and a much more extensive choice of fish and vegetarian dishes and desserts, and whereas most Indian restaurants use one curry sauce as a base for all their dishes, at Myristica all sauces are made individually to order for true authenticity.
Sample dishes include starters of baby squid deep fried and tossed with bell peppers, chilli flakes and honey and rabbit varuval, a South Indian speciality of rabbit meat tossed with onions, chillies, curry leaves & ground spices; the house speciality main course of pista murgh (breast of chicken cooked in a mild cream sauce with ground pistachios and a hint of saffron) or prawn chettinad with kerala paratha (wild catch black tiger prawns cooked with a roasted blend of fennel, peppercorn and curry leaves ) and tandoori pineapple (glazed with cinnamon and honey served with saffron icecream) or chocolate samosas, for dessert.
