The Coconut Tree Bristol, Clifton Triangle Restaurant in Bristol

Reviews

1. Jake R Maddocks ★★★★☆

   Food was nice. It’s a shame they sat people so close to each other when they had a big empty restaurant to use. Felt like I was in someone else’s conversation. Wine expensive. Cutlery and bowls dirty and chipped (chunks of food on two of the knives). No toilet cubicle in the men’s (out of order). Had to ask for the correct bill. Enjoyed but wouldn’t go back.

   Decent sri lankan restaurant in Bristol.. Chicken curry on the bone is vood but I would have liked it without the skin..the parippu (dhal) is good . Egg hooper has a unique taste to it . The goat curry is okay but would have liked it with bone just like the chicken one.. The paratha is good... The prices of the mocktails are on the high side..

   A small group (5) had dinner. We had to try a variety of options as the portions are super small. The goat curry was watery and lacked spice. The service staff were kind, helpful and a bit chaotic. Whilst I enjoyed some of the food, did not think its was value for money.

   I visited Coconut Tree in Bristol last month for lunch. We ordered two shrimp fried rice dishes and shrimp curries. The food didn’t taste fresh, and the rice was sticky. I’ve attached pictures below. The portion sizes were really small for the price, one portion wasn’t enough for one person. Additionally, the girl who served us was unpleasant and rude when we informed her of the issue. For those expecting good Sri Lankan food, I can’t recommend this place at all.

   We had an amazing time on a Tuesday night at The Coconut Tree. We made sure to order couple of different dishes so we could try numerous of amazing flavours. All the dishes had lot’s of taste and all of them were very pretty nice! We also enjoyed our drinks and definitely our dessert! Worth a visit! Also worth mentioning, it was great value for money! And the staff were extremely kind.

   Eye-popping decor and tasty, optimally seasoned food. As a vegan, I was especially pleased that most of the menu catered for my dietary preferences. Portion-wise, food was deceptively filling (which is a good thing!) As for service, I have to lob off one star as the waiting flagged halfway through our stay as service got busier. We were ready to order dessert, but nobody was around to take the order, which was a bit disappointing. In that respect, it might be better to visit earlier in the day before peak hours. Nevertheless, I'd recommend this place to newcomers or those curious to try Sri Lankan street food.

   I hate to leave a negative review, but I'm afraid I can only say that this was a truly disappointing that experience. Our squash curry and another curry (I can't remember the name because it was so forgettable) clearly had the same bland base sauce. The pineapple curry was very sweet and uninspiring, while the hopper was so so. Our service was good, but I'm sorry to say that this was not enough to replace quality food, nor an enjoyable experience

   Fantastic food, cocktails and super friendly staff. From the moment you walk in you feel welcome. As first time customers we had everything explained to us as we were seated. The staff gave us tips on how to order the food and dishes that they recommended. They were talkative and made you feel comfortable. The decore of the place is pretty and cosy, with window seats and cushions on benches. Pretty wall decorations and a bar. The food is in the traditional style of Sri Lanka. A wide variety of vegan and vegetarian options as well as a rage of different meat options. They also cater well to allergies. You get food in Tapas style dishes so would recommend getting 4 or 5 dishes to share (that would be enough for 3 or 4 people. All dishes were bursting with flavour but would recommend the lamb curry, stone pot pork and fat sister (a pumpkin and pandan leaf curry) We had a fantastic rum cocktail that involved our waiter setting the top on fire upon arrival, very impressive! Will definitely be back!
