Indian Cottage - Bristol, City of

Bristol has a plethora of Indian restaurants however the Indian cottage in Stockwood is my favourite. The food is fresh and very tasty the garlic nann was outstanding and the feedback around the table was great. It is bring your own alcohol with a very reasonable £1 corkage charge. Highly recommend you try this place out and support a local Indian.

A little gem in Stockwood Bristol that serves excellent food at very reasonable prices. Plus, the staff are really welcoming and helpful. With so many people having deliveries these days we witnessed a stream of the usual delivery bags going out the door while we were there) it was easy to get a table and enjoy the 'dining out ' experience. Their weekday meal deals allow you to have a full meal for the price that some other places would charge for a main course with rice and there was no skimping on portion sizes. We have been going here for years and will return again soon.

Would rate this 0/10 if I could!! Food took 2 and a half hours to arrive, I called 3 times and was only told the food was on its way with no time frame or apology! The second time I called I was hung up on! When the food eventually arrived it was cold and I had to microwave it, it was also tasteless and by the time it came we were all past the point of hungry and annoyed! Not an enjoyable experience and half of it went in the bin!!

Have ordered for delivery twice this month, the first time we all agreed that the food was lovely (especially the Naga curry) but we’re disappointed that we received 2 tandoori chicken starters and not 2 chicken tikka starters which we had ordered (ordered online so we double checked). Mistakes happen I guess, so we gave them another go a couple of weeks later, again, something in the order was wrong (cheese naan instead of a garlic naan). Such a shame as the food is lovely. Maybe better to dine in so order errors can be quickly resolved.

We (family of four) visited the Indian Cottage Restaurant to sit inside tonight, after normally ordering takeaway from local and older rival Spicy Aroma. We had high expectations... which were quickly destroyed. We had ordered at 17:35, served by local sourpuss Mo, who can only be described as the most miserable man I have ever met. We were the only people sat inside so why our food came over an hour later, I 'm not so sure. Our food arrived at 18:40, lukewarm and rushed (we assume the takeaway orders being bagged up in front of us took priority). My curry was barely warm; the bhajis soggy, and the naan breads all raw in the middle. We were asked at the start if we wanted poppadoms for the table, I said yes assuming they were a nice complimentary start free of charge, we were charged £10 for about six poppadoms with a tiny bowl of a few sauces. We had to ask to have some water, and we were charged £4 for two tiny bottles of coke. The curries were barely okay; the rice cold; the chips cheap and frozen; the naans raw. This would have been forgettable and fine until we saw the bill. I was terrified to see a bill of £75 (attached). A takeaway would have been far cheaper (and easier, seeing as we received absolutely no service whatsoever) and warmer. Never again... steer clear, and order from local restaurants in Keynsham (Cinnamon) or Whitchurch (Blue Ginger) instead, or even Spicy Aroma. The restaurant received a five star hygiene rating... presumably as there 's no cooking going on here. Steer clear, hopefully they 'll be out of the area soon. Last thing... Mo , a smile wouldn 't go a miss. Merry **** Christmas. If I could give zero, I would.
