The Ballroom Fine Indian Dining And Wine Bar

The Ballroom opened in December 2013 in the handsome Bayshill Lodge on Montpellier Street, inaugurated by the Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire. It was conceived as a Bangladeshi-influenced fine Indian restaurant alongside a wine bar — an unusual combination at the time in Cheltenham. The kitchen moves beyond standard curry-house repertoire: reviewers highlight unusual menu choices, Indian ice cream, and a Sunday buffet that draws repeat visitors. The interior uses the original lodge space to dramatic effect. Over 365 TripAdvisor reviews show a 3.5 average, reflecting variable experiences, but the most loyal customers describe it as the best Indian in Cheltenham. The Montpellier neighbourhood, close to Imperial Square and the Ladies' College, gives it a well-heeled local clientele.
