BEST HALAL RESTAURANTS EVER, this is a good Indian restaurant i recommended this food is amazing prices are reasonable

Best food and cooperative staff&services in Bristol.highly recommended

Great food, good tasting Indian cuisine.

Walked through the rain for half an hour just to eat at oh Calcutta and would do it again! One of my fave places in Bristol :D

The food was good but I have been told by the waitress it wasn't spicy and it actually was. Also, it was very loud and difficult to talk to people at my same table.

Never been to the restaurant but order deliveries sometimes, excellent food.

Was my regular place to go but long waits for food and can expect big student tables here which can be really noisy so be prepared to wait long time on your main dishes. 2 pound corkage PP on the BYO forced service charge of 10% now aswell Not the same place anymore sadly 😔😕 food portions have gone down in size now too will have to find another place.

I came in for my birthday over the weekend with some friends and we had such a great evening!! A table of 20 on a Friday night, staff were great, efficient and the food was completely spot on. It's also really good value and BYO, what is not to like...!

My boyfriend had his birthday meal here, with 30 of his friends! staff were so accommodating, friendly and attentive with such a big group they were amazing! Food was lovely and so much choice for everyone, everyone left happy and full up on amazing food! Thank you for having us and we will definitely be back!

I don’t understand how this place has any good reviews? I came here last year and was seated but never served… after half an hour we left and nobody batted an eye. I thought i’d give it a second chance as we live so close so i tried it again tonight and unfortunately, i was served. I enjoyed the poppadoms but i went downhill from there. While the Naan and rice were nice enough… The Chicken Tikka masala was watery and bland. The Butter Balti Chicken was inedible… tasted like fish and chip shop curry sauce mixed with a litre of double cream. One of the chefs was wearing a dirty puffer coat in the kitchen? Didn’t seem very hygienic :/ We were charged for BYOB ( just 1 beer each) but no signs outside said that there was a charge so thought that was very cheeky. You can’t expect return customers if you try and sneakily get more money out of them.

Great authentic Indian Halal food. The weather was cold inside the restaurant.

Bring your own booze place srafg were very polite and friendly. Food was really good, portions looked small but it was just the right amount.

Most of the food was nice, but it was overpowered with salt, which ruined it for me. I ordered tandoori red snapper with a tomato sauce and found the sauce was sweetened with sugar and not as savoury as I was hoping for, which I didn't enjoy. I've had goan fish curry from here before and forgot how overly sugary it was so I shouldn't have ordered from here again. One of the curries was also very oily. It was nice apart from that though and the portion sizes were very generous so it would be good for anyone who enjoys plenty of salt and sugar. The samosas and stuffed paratha were delicious!

Ordered a veggie jalfrezi, chicken tikka starter, onion Bhaji, garlic naan and rice. Most disappointing curry I’ve ever ordered, the murgh chicken tikka starter was almost inedible, tasted incredibly acrid and was very over cooked thus the meat being dry. The Jalfrezi lacked any real flavour and the consistency was bad, overcooked vegetables and a thick tomato paste which was meant to resemble a sauce, again acrid and lacked any spice or flavour. The Bhaji wasn’t even a Bhaji, it was quite literally a dry and tasteless onion fritter lacking flavour and had not been fried either, tasted rancid and was probably the worst part of the curry. Garlic naan was doughy and had some subpar tasting garlic butter plastered all over it which had not even seeped into the naan, it was just layered on top. Rice was incredibly dry, tasteless and cold. All in all, the worst curry I’ve ever experienced in Bristol, to pay over £20 without delivery charge for this absolute absurdity is a joke. I will never order from this place ever again. Avoid at all costs!

Delicious food with excellent crispy onion bhajees Staff are very friendly and attentive Now BYO with good bottle shop two doors away The host/boss tries a little too hard and is a bit creepy but he soon leaves you to the normal staff who are excellent

Very very pleased! I felt that I had stumbled upon a genuine Indian restaurant, and that I had a remarkable meal at a very reasonable price.

Food was good, but the staff was on a mission to get us in and out of there as quickly as possible. Quite a rude way of treating your customers. Felt like cattle being herded through the restaurant. Told us we need to be off our table by 8:15 and didn’t take our mains order till 8.

Horrible food, will never go back. I ordered chicken makhani , on the menu it say it is made with yougurt and doesn’t mention any nuts . When we opened it , it was covered with nuts and was made in horrible in sweet coconut cream , no sign of yougurt.Dessert I guess😊 2nd I ordered nehari and after opening it was just a regular dry lamb dish rather then nehari. 3rd Fish was extremely spicy I ordered chicken seekh but got lamb seeik ( not fresh or tasty) 4. Rice was not well cooked and they were hard 5.I asked one of the staff if your naan is with sesame seeds they told me “yes they are “ and I ordered.what came was roti rather than a naan. My son has a life threatening nut allergy and they are so irresponsible about adding nuts to your dishes without mentioning in their menu. Over all food was sweet rather than savoury . I think they have Bengali chef who loves to add sweet coconut cream to your dishes. Horrible experience tasteless food wastage of money. I ordered takeaway and saw that one of the chefs had big nails full of dirt.

Nice location to have good food. I enjoyed eating here and it's my first time.

Very nice Indian restaurant. Friendly staff and lovely food. Returning again for sure!

Amazing food and service & loads of vegetarian options! Really well priced too! Will definitely be back :)

All the servers and staff are super helpful and friendly. Food always hits—this will be a regular for me. 10/10

Great place, good atmosphere, friendly staff. Food excellent.

TJ, the waitress that served us, was very friendly, timed the serving perfectly and had great chat. Food was fantastic.

First time trying this curry restaurant, me and my gf the flavours so good ,tasty and authentic, could have done with a bit more sauce will pass this on to my friends

The best lamb biryani I've had from a restaurant.

We visited the restaurant on a busy Saturday night. The service was efficient and friendly, the food was fantastic and there was a really great atmosphere.

We went to Oh Calcutta on quite a busy Saturday night. The staff were very friendly and prompt and we really enjoyed the lovely hospitality we received. The food was excellent. I had the red snapper which was cooked perfectly with a lovely sauce. My wife had a lamb dish which also smelled and tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back again.

Really fantastic service, the food was excellent, very affordable and came very quickly after ordering. The staff attended to all our needs promptly, really excellent!

Tasty and big portions! Very good service!

First time trying Oh Calcutta, we had a table for 4 booked on a Friday night. Initial thoughts on entering were that the restaurant looked quite simple and basic inside. Not a bad thing for me personally but for anyone craving real character to the restaurant I'm sure there are better options in Bristol. The staff were all really friendly and prompt in taking orders and serving the food. The menu choices were great and incredibly low prices! Actually had to double check at one point! Whilst the prices were really good I think this was reflected in the portion sizes, they weren't small but if you're arriving there really hungry I would definitely not be afraid to get a few extra dishes! That being said all of the food we ordered tasted really good and I had no complaints there at all. The restaurant has a "bring your own booze" policy so don't hesitate to stock up beforehand. Conveniently there is a shop right next door if needed! Overall a decent night with good food, definitely worth a shout if you're with friends and after a cheaper meal! I just would have liked slightly bigger portions because what I did order tasted really good!

The best Indian take out in Bristol. Literally can’t stop thinking about the food!

Very lovely food. Amazing ambience and a very busy restaurant. Polite and helpful staff. It is a must visit especially if you love your curries :)

lovely lovely staff who are always so friendly and helpful, the food is always delicious for a good price. Really recommend coming here for a clean and calm atmosphere and some great food

Super tasty food and good value. Customer service was also great.

Hard to find a BYOB anymore in Bristol! Lovely food and makes for a cheap night out. Shops nearby to buy some bottles, always nice service and lush food - menu says all dishes can contain nuts btw

Fabulous foods+ friendly manager and waiters. Service is awesome. Me and my friend just celebrated birthday here and had a great time.

Excellent food in very quick delivery time. Will definitely use this service again.

Good amount of food for price but the flavours are not good. The butter chicken is not good I’ve had hundreds but none like this. Very disappointing

My partner and I were looked after by Abdella, who was a fantastic host throughout. We also spoke to another wonderful chef who's name we didn't catch. Delicious food, can't wait to go back.

Nice staff the lady she is working there she is really nice always good service

Very tasty home like India food.

FOOD is in great portions and a good price, service is nice and food comes quickly, and the staff are honest on what they think is good and always have good recommendations 😀 thanks oh Calcutta, Will be back

I just wanted to leave a review to say thank you. I don’t know whether you meant it or not but I got a free can of Inch’s. I finished my exams today and finished uni forever and I have been very upset and this really lifted my spirits and has made my week!! Thank you so much. The food was amazing as always!

I never received the food from the driver, the owner has to attempt to deliver it

Food very disappointing, tikka birany way to spicey and serve rice first with no sauce? Had to get up and ask for it.

Delicious food - starter and main were all excellent. Thank you, will come to you again!

Lamb nihari my go to dish, all food very tasty and never fails to disappoint when ordered on Uber eat.

THERE WAS NO SPICE OR TASTE TO THIS FOOD- I HAVE USED THEM FOR YEARS BUT THIS WAS SO BAD- I AM SO DISAPOINTED AND WILL NOT USE THEM AGAIN.

Great food, One of my favourites.

Amazing place excellent food 🍱👌

I had lovely food here while staying at Bristol. I specially remember the Biryanis, they all were so yummy... and the dal tadka. I will definitely go to this place again if given the opportunity. The staff was also extremely cordial and caring. It is an excellent package at very reasonable prices.

Have never had a bad curry from Oh Calcutta!

Great authentic food at great prices. Delicious

Ordered masala mushroom starter with chapatti and it was delivered in a mains sized tub without the accompanying bread.

The best indian restaurant in Bristol.

Excellent food and service. Relaxing, comfortable atmosphere. only been twice so far, thoroughly enjoyed both times. I will def visit again. Highly recommend.

The food was alright. But the customer service was one of the worst one I have experienced in my last 2 year stay here at Bristol.

Great taste, lovely flavours and good portion size. Will be using again.

Even though the driver did not show up to the restaurant, a lovley man from Calcutta stayed an hour and a half after close and delivered the food himself.

Food didn't turn up at all Phone take away NOT HELPFUL Told to contact just eat NEVER AGAIN

Driver was extremely rude. He did not come to the door and was very confrontational on the phone.

No popadom, we paid for, not a big thing, but no trust now, won't ever order again, why do this for 75p. Your loss, will inform all my friends, so you lost 100 peoples business for 75p. Hope it's worth it.

Delicious as always, even given extra rice free of charge!

Really tasty food, and generous portions!

Excellent food. Great service. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. Will definitely visit again.

Over an hour 20 late. Food had to sit at restaurant over an hour awaiting a driver. As a result 2 of the dishes were ruined. Not the restaurants fault at all.

Really tasty varied food with a lot of taste. A bit noisy on a Friday night but a great atmosphere!

Very welcoming place, delicious food, great service and staff are very friendly, helpful and go the extra mile to make sure have a great meal l, would highly recommend.

Nice food after enjoying an evening with friends at the various local pubs. Staff attentive and pleasant.

Great food wonderful service and the girl worked there she’s absolutely lovely definitely recommended

Nice food and very good service girl is very friendly and nice all the time

Oh Calcutta indeed such incredibly tasty food and great value for money! Friendly staff and good service. This was our second visit I'm sure we'll be back 🙏😋

Good quality Indian restaurant, very Friendly staff . Girl is very friendly good service

I was at this hotel yesterday and the food was very good A girl was working here, she was very good

This curry house is honestly a gem of a place It’s very affordable, and the curries still taste great. Staff are mega friendly too!

Just ordered off of Deliveroo and the food was cracking! Bhuna was amazing and chicken tikka was out of this world the special rice tasted of mind corrinder flavours!

Possibly the most disappointing restaurant in Bristol. Not a natural moaner or complainer I sat here for 2 hrs awaiting a delicious curry. This was not the case. With deliveroo couriers and other fast food taking priority I asked several times about where our order was. Genuinely this restaurant doesn’t care that you have bothered to come to them and patiently wait and buy drinks in their premises. Seriously don’t bother they are garbage if their food is nice I can’t say as they failed to actually do the bare minimum and serve food and as a restaurant they are rubbish. Avoid at all costs.

This restaurant is a joke. 2hrs after we sat down we still didn’t have our main course, despite watching two other tables that arrived after us being served before us, one of them managed to eat and leave before we had eaten. We were told multiple times that we were next, and the staff even objected when we said we would be leaving. We were not told of any delay in the kitchen, and I worry we would still be there now if we hadn’t left after 2hrs. No apology, no explanation, no food.

If you have watched say Rick Steins India series then it is clear that truly authentic Indian cuisine is pretty hard to find in the UK but this is true of Japanese and Thai food too- outside of London anyway. However, this place does a damn good job- consistently good food, great staff and service..excellent...

Good food - terrible service, took 20 minutes and asked 4 times to get the bill before having to to up to the till eventually to pay

Great value and service was top notch.

2 times I visited this place. Both times the food are very tasty. Okay, some people reviewed saying it is not authentic. If they think because their food did not come out greasy or bright red colour is non-authentic. Then I would rather eat this type of curry. I can taste the difference between all their currys, each tasted very nice and different. Not like some curry house, everything tastes the same with the same red colour. The portion size is very good. And my god, the price is extremely good! And the lady front of house is always polite and attentive. I really enjoy their food. One of the best I have tasted in Bristol. And trust me, I do know my currys!

Pretty cheap and mediocre but is tasty nonetheless. Byob which Is a touch. Mite slow service due to the now standard incessant stream of deliveroo drivers....the afghan lamb was yummy I must say.

Great food and great people who run the restaurant

Had great weekend in Bristol for Tokyoworld and ate in Oh Calcutta Sunday night. Food was excellent and the staff first class. Had Goan fish curry, Malayan curry, chicken Balti and a lamb jalfreizi first classs. Tasted lovely and spices spot on. Thank you Roly, Mick and Ruth from Preston.

Lovely place, excellent staff and great food very reasonably priced! Interesting variety and range on a authentic and exciting menu. Bring your own booze always a winner too!

Sadly we were missing special fried rice but rest of meal was fantastic.

Had a great dinner at the place, highly recommend for Biriyani 👌

Brilliant service from staff, super friendly. Not an overload of food - perfectly portioned per person. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Came super quick, tasted super great. Best lamb madras in Bristol. Thanks everyone.

Amazing food and super fast delivery

Food was piping hot . Biriyani and peshwari naan was brilliant - will be ordering again. The masala mushrooms and masala lamb tikka was a tad too sweet , so not to my liking.

The food was delivered extremely quickly and this could explain why the spicing was overly harsh and not cooked out properly, there were no subtle blends of flavour but a harsh immediate hit of uncooked spices

Oh Calcutta is my favourite Indian restaurant in Bristol!! Me and my friends have been visiting in big groups since 2016, and the lovely team have always taken care of us so well. Absolutely delicious food at really fair prices. I also ordered a takeaway meal recently and it was perfect - lamb so tender ! naan - delicious! paneer so flavoursome! Yes!!! Thank you everyone at Oh Calcutta, a Bristol gem, we've had the best celebrations at your fine establishment and many more to come hopefully xxx
