With endless awards and not to mention spellbinding food to their name, Somerset Masala at Taunton is a Indian food with elegant sophistication.

Contemporary and stylish, the long dining hall is luxurious without being brash. Taking a leaf out of the minimalist book, its neutral colour scheme is understated and soothing, which can’t be said for some of their spicier dishes!

With so many incredible starters on offer, you really don’t know where to… well… start! Lamb chops, lamb samosas, pickled paneer and the classic onion bhaji are just a few stars on the list. But don’t go overboard, you still have mains to go.

Tradition meets innovation on the mains. If you’re playing it safe, go for the butter chicken, Kerala spiced prawns or Tandoori chicken. If you want to broaden your foodie horizons, there’s a tilapia fish masala, barbecued achari and seared haddock with ginger. If you’re overwhelmed by the agonising choice you have to make, try a bit of everything with the Tandoori mixed grill.
