Prithvi
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Contemporary Indian cooking in stylish setting."
Overview
Meaning ‘Earth or Mother Earth’ in ancient Sanskrit, Prithvi is a refined and intimate neighbourhood restaurant with decadent interiors and private dining options next to the upstairs bar. Classic French techniques underpin Thomas Law’s innovative modern Indian cooking and a well considered wine list focuses on bottles that complement the delicate spices. There's a great cocktail offering too. Chalk stream trout opens the show, cleverly pointed up by curry beurre blanc, Avruga caviar and pickled cucumber, then main-course venison brings tender and pink roast loin with smoked beetroot purée, pickled blackberry, rich curry sauce, biryani-style rice and a light doughnut ‘keema’ filled with venison mince.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley
