Southern Indian dishes, thalis, tandoor BBQ, and chocolate samosas
"You’ll receive a warm welcome at this sumptuous restaurant, run by the third generation of a family who settled here from India 50 years ago. The menu is mostly southern Indian with some BBQ dishes from the tandoor representing the north. Save room for the indulgent chocolate samosa." - Michelin Inspector
"Owner Michael Raphel is the third generation of a family from Southern India who settled in the Cotswolds almost 50 years ago. It was his grandfather, Appacha, who originally came to work on a farm in Burford. Word soon spread around the county about his authentic home-cooked dishes and not long after he became a private chef in Cheltenham. The restaurant may have recently changed its name from Bhoomi to the more casual sounding Bhoomi Kitchen yet it has retained its sumptuous and eye-catching blue and gold décor. The menu takes most of its inspiration from Southern India with a variety of curries and biryanis. At lunch and early in the evening they offer a range of thalis – the perfect balance of sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy. Northern India features a little too, with BBQ dishes from the tandoor and here the chefs still use Appacha’s original recipes for the rubs and marinades. To end the meal, don’t look further than the indulgent chocolate and cardamom samosa." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
