Kush Bristol

In the heart of Clifton, Kush Bristol leans into bold, spice-led cooking shaped by time-honoured marinades, charcoal, and carefully judged sweetness and tang. The kitchen draws on flavours from across the subcontinent and beyond, balancing richness with brightness and a decisive lick of smoke.

Early plates set the tone: samosa chaat layers savoury chickpeas with crisp pastry, sweet yogurt and tangy chutneys for a lively play of textures, while soya tikka arrives chargrilled, its hung yogurt and Kashmiri chillies bringing gentle heat and depth.

Comfort and indulgence meet in the mains. Malai murgh coaxes tenderness from chicken thigh with cream cheese and cardamom-mace warmth, while honey-glazed pork ribs carry the swagger of Rechado spices, marrying sticky sweetness to a fragrant, spiced kick.

For those chasing showstoppers, the specials flirt with decadence: roasted bone marrow crowned with crispy chilli beef, ready to be scooped up with Malabar paratha; and Afghani chops, where Devon lamb is luxuriated in hung yogurt with cashew, raisins and dates for a softly spiced, subtly sweet finish. Gather your favourite people, bring an appetite for discovery, and let Kush Bristol do the rest - spice, smoke and a smile, all in good time.
