Curry house in top UK ranking

A Bath curry house has been listed as one of the best 10 in the South West, and one of the UK’S top 100.

Mantra, based at The Paragon, was listed in the Asian Catering Federation’s ‘Top 100 Curry Restaurants’ list.

The restaurant says it specialises in “progressive Indian food”, serving dishes “healthily packed with flavour, crunch, punch and zing”.

Its entry on the list praises it as a “showcase for the diversity of India’s regional cuisines and street foods.”

On the restaurant’s website, it promises a changing menu based on seasonal ingredients, with plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans. “The authentic, exotic, and complex flavours of Indian cuisine when used in a progressive way can produce an exceptional culinary experience,” it says.

Some of Mantra’s specialities include slow cooked shank of lamb in Hyderabadi spices (£15.95), Masala dosa with potato filling, coconut chutney and sambar (£6.95).
