Indian Cottage in Bristol

Really delicious. The Biryani is sooooooo good. The Pakoras are amazing. It's a small independent restaurant in Stockwood- well worth it. I've been ordering here for a while now- everything is always delivered hot, tasty and fresh. Don't believe the negative reviews, just some moaners.*Edit* If you order via Uber Eats/Just Eat- it's not the responsibility of this restaurant as to when your order is delivered, they cook it, and similar to when ordering a taxi via Uber, it gets assigned and depending on driver availablity, the order will then be sent to you. Most of the time, the orders are freshly cooked within a reasonable time, say 20-30 minutes, and then the restaurant just waits for the driver to pick it up, it can be between 15-30 minutes. So please don't blame the restaurant, if your order is delayed, it's the delivery company.

Ordered a curry to be delivered via Uber eats and waited 2 hours to have a message to say the order was on the way, with a follow up message 5 mins later to say it was cancelled. Called Indian Cottage about this to find out our order was still sat in the shop. Staff then took no responsibility or tried to help resolve the issue and told us to come collect as the only option.Rude staff and poor customer service. A lot better curry houses around the area!

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 cans 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. If I could give zero, I would.

Indian cottage in stockwood is by far the best Indian cuisine. The place is extremely clean, well presented and all staff are welcoming, friendly and caring for their guests. The food is superb and well worth the visit, in which it has become my regular. My partner was not ever keen with curry cuisines until I took her here, now she loves this place. 👌

Lovely food,great ambiance, & reasonable prices. Recommended

Food was late arriving ,I only live 2 streets away how is this possible. After phoning twice they tried to say I did not answer door, rubbish I was waiting for them .food arrived cold and not edible ,,omg never use them again

And they appreciate your custom.

Really lovely place to eat. There are tables to dine in and eat, or they do offer takeaway.- with collection or delivery.The decor is nice and soothing, it gives a warm and relaxing atmosphere and I love the blue lighting. It is "Bring Your Own Alcohol".The staff are really friendly and welcoming and are attentive.The prices are very good and the food is delicious! My new favourite place to have a curry.

Very pleased with the food everything time we get it. Always gets the ordered spot on and very kindly throws in a little extra which is very nice. The curry’s and great and so are all the sides and pickle tray. Great place and great value. Will definitely continue ordering from them.

Excellent Indian restaurant. The food is delicious. We particularly like to go on Banquet Night on a Wednesday, as the value and the amount of food you can order for £12 is outstanding. Of particular note is the Butter Chicken. The sauce probably means that the dish alone is 2,000 calories, but it is so delicious – waistline be damned! Friendly staff. Lovely to be able to walk five minutes to a favourite restaurant.
