Blue Camel Indian

Set in the quiet village of West Camel a short way from Sparkford, Blue Camel Indian has built a warm reputation for fragrant, freshly prepared subcontinental cooking that draws diners from across the surrounding villages. The menu runs through the much-loved classics alongside the chef's specialities, with aromatic curries, sizzling tandoori platters and a good spread of rice and breads to soak everything up. Staff are well used to tailoring dishes to different spice levels and are happy to talk through allergens, so it suits both timid palates and dedicated heat-seekers.

Whether you settle in for a relaxed sit-down meal or order ahead to take away, the kitchen keeps things consistent, and that care shows in the feedback: it holds an impressive 4.6/5 on Google, with regulars singling out the value and the friendly welcome. For this rural pocket of south Somerset it is a genuinely handy find when a proper curry night beckons and you would rather not head all the way into town.
