“ Absolutely outstanding food and friendly, unpretentious service. Indian in name and influence of flavours only, we had the most stunning 7 course tasting menu. A high end choice, but not one you'll regret if you appreciate fine cooking, top quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. A Michelin star cannot be far away. ”
“ Our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint, from the friendly welcome and the perfect service. We were very well looked after, attention to detail was impeccable in a subtle way. The food ....... from the three incredible one bite treats that arrived and delicious mini loaf and butter we were already delighted. The starters, main and dessert were fabulous and we enjoyed tasting each others, we can’t wait for the next visit. Thanks so much everyone ”
“ Always absolutely wonderful. We had the 7 course tasting menu, which was perfection. Special mention also to the non alcoholic sparkling wine which is the most delicious thing! Thank you for adding it to the wine list. ”
“ A generously hospitable restaurant at ease in its own skin. As it was our first time, we went with the taster menu which turned out to be a good choice. We were able to sample the wide range of tastes and textures which this kitchen is capable of producing. The food was artful, with wonderfully balanced taste. It was adventurous without trying too hard. The staff were generous and attentive. ”
“ We were not disappointed by this place. Amazing food and lovely staff who made us feel really welcome. I think this place is heading for a michelin star. We've eaten at many michelin starred establishments and it's surprising this hasn't got one! We opted for the lunch menu, but got lots of little extras which was really lovely. When we're back in Cheltenham, we will definitely be paying another visit! ”

“ One of the reasons for our return to the Cotswolds on this trip to Europe was to revisit Prithvi. We dined here the first time in 2017 and were extremely impressed - so we wanted to see if the quality of service and food had been maintained over the years. We were not disappointed - the ambiance, the food, the wine and the friendly & knowledgeable service was absolutely outstanding - I doubt you will find a better dining experience anywhere in the world. By the way, we are already booked in for lunch this coming Thursday ”
“ We have been coming to Prithvi since it opened and it has got better and better over the years. Jay and the team do a brilliant job. Service is light touch but excellent. The food is fantastic - and ever changing. Our whole evening was really special. ”
