Indian Massala

Set along the road through the village of Bleadon, just south of Weston-super-Mare, Indian Massala has been a favourite for traditional and contemporary Indian cooking for well over a decade. The kitchen turns out fragrant, freshly spiced plates that keep diners coming back, from a rich, buttery Butter Chicken to a fluffy, cardamom-scented Chicken Biryani, with milder kormas and fierier jalfrezis to suit every taste at the table. Whether you eat in or carry your order home, the welcome is warm and the focus stays firmly on flavour.

It is a genuinely well-liked spot, rated around 4.3 out of 5 from close to three hundred reviews, which speaks to the consistency locals have come to expect. Expect the full sweep of an Indian menu, from tandoori grills with a charred edge to creamy classics, vegetable sides and warm naan to mop everything up, making it as good for a relaxed family meal as it is for a low-key takeaway night. For anyone in the Bleadon and wider Weston area after dependable, properly cooked Indian food, Indian Massala is an easy recommendation.
