Ganesha (Bedminster Parade)
I went here last night for a friend's birthday meal and it was lovely, without being too expensive. The waiter knew all about the food and they really pride themselves on being different from other curry houses, offering cuisine from a different part of the region. The waiter was really accomodating when I asked for dishes without egg or dairy, and all dishes in this restaurant are cooked in oil, rather than gee. They rate all their curries for spiciness, which is helpful - I found 'medium' to be rather hot in some dishes though!

Garam Massala (Cotham Hill)
This
place opened in April, and is quite nice to look at. Have only been
here once (I will return for the sake of vegans everywhere - it's a
hard life), but the staff were helpful, and quick to check ingredients
with the kitchen. I had the vegetable rhogan which was alright.
Indian Ocean (Cotham Hill)
The
food here is tasty, and the staff were chatty, despite the fact that
we arrived shortly before closing time. Many of their dish styles
can be made with vegetables - find some you like the look of, and
they'll tell you what can be made vegan. One of the waiters knows
exactly what is in every dish, so someone will probably grab him!
Best onion bhajis in Bristol!

Jubo Raj (Cotham Hill)
Have
been here a few times now and the food is always tasty and the staff
are always friendly. They always try their hardest to squeeze you in!
Kathmandu (Colston Street, behind Colston Tower)
Slightly
pricey, but worth every penny as the food is just incredible. Tell
the staff that you're vegan and they'll help you find something to
eat, even if it means altering one of their non-vegan dishes (it's
surprising how many places get stuffy about this - perhaps their chefs
aren't creative enough?). One of my particular favourites is a lovely
coconut-based dish. As if that wasn't reason enough to go here, the
restaurant itself is rather nice to look at, and the staff are
wonderful.
Highly recommended
Kohi Noor (221 - top of - Whiteladies Road)
Just
tell the staff that you don't eat dairy/egg and they'll tell you what
is vegan, although there is available than many Indian restaurants.
Just a warning, though: let them know how spicy you like it. Last
time I ate there, it was quite hot, and I have a fair tolerance. Any of
the side-dishes can be made into a main, and they have a 15% discount
on takeaways.
Krishna's Inn (Clifton Triangle)
Ate
here for my boyfriend's birthday, and it was very nice. They serve
south Indian food, which is wonderfully different from most Indian
food I've tried. For the non-vegans in your party, apparently the
pancake dishes are lovely. Just make clear that you don't eat dairy,
meat or egg yourself. I love the fact that some of the dishes come in
relatively small portions so that you can try more of them. My
favourite dish here is called erussery and it is made of pumpkin
(yummmm!) and the banana curry is totally delicious.

Sheesh Mahal (13 Gloucester Road, near The Arches)
The
staff here are possibly the friendliest of any place I've ever
eaten, and they now know my order; just ask for a dairy/egg free dish
and the result won't disappoint! I also love the decor in this
restaurant, you can tell that they've put a lot of effort in to making
it look nice, and the same extends to their food.
Highly recommended
Spice Up Your Life (St Nick's Market)
I've been going to St Nick's for many years but I've never eaten here. A tip from a commenter, Beverly, led me to put this listing up. She said "Spice up your life do a great vegan curry. Highly recommend :)" One of the reviews on this page also states that they do vegan curry. I do love a good curry!

Thali Cafe (Clifton; Easton; Totterdown; Montpelier; Southville next to Tobacco Factory - see website below)
Without
a doubt, one of the best places to eat in Bristol; indeed, I chose to
eat here for my birthday last year! Completely vegan friendly (even
ice cream!), incredibly cheap and service always comes with a smile.
Winner of best takeaway 2009; little wonder when you can get a massive tiffin
for £7, which is enough for 2 people. The only thing is that vegans get
no choice as there is only a 'dairy free thali', but this is a minor
complaint when the food is so good.
Update (May 2013)
I went back again yesterday (May 2013) and the food is still amazing! My friends were also really impressed by it, and they liked the decor too.
Update (December 2013)
I returned recently to discover that they have a whole load of small dishes and starters. They were all labelled, and were absolutely delicious; I would expect nothing less from this wonderful restaurant family!

Tiffins (Kingsdown Parade)
Gujarati
food - lots of yummy sounding curries. Their website specifically
says that they have vegan food available, and they do catering, too.
It's always busy when I go past, so I'll have to pop in myself at some
point!
