"I am usually lazy about writing reviews, however my experience was so average that I believe it’s worth taking time out to let others know of my experience. Me and my wife arrived at 7:20 on a Friday, from the outside it’s a grand building but made to look tacky and cheap by the multi coloured lights. As we entered the building we were greeted with beer kegs, hot plates, chutney trays and just storage area in general. We looked around and there was no one to greet us, we had to get back out to the street to look for a new entrance as we thought it might have been the staff entrance. Unfortunately it wasn’t, and it was very dark and dingy. Once seated we were waiting for our friends to join us, so we had a quick scan of the place. Inside was also very grand, however you had electrical cupboard doors left open, hotplates all over the place and carpets that haven’t been changed over 30 years. This is definitely not the place if you want the romantic setting for an anniversary or a special occasion. There were 3 servers, and initially they were prompt with the drinks order. I must say the mango lassi was very good. However trying to get their attention after this initial interaction was pretty impossible. Once the menu was handed to us, it was falling apart and had curry stains on it. The tamarind sauce for the poppadoms were nice and different, however they didn’t even wait for us to finish the poppadoms before bringing the starters out. Once the starters were done, we left the plates and cutlery on the for the servers to clean but after 30 min it was still there, I called all 3 servers individually over to ask them to take it away but non of them did. The toilet had a foul smell of urine, really unclean and didn’t look like it was cleaned for weeks. So much so told my wife not to go and use it as she would be disgusted by it. The mains were very plain, my karai was very bland and my wife’s sag prawn was the worst we ever tried in an Indian restaurant. It feels like the chefs/ owners don’t have quality control or passion for food. I’m very critical as I have worked in an Indian restaurant for many years and it’s not hard to keep on top of all the things I have mentioned. But this place doesn’t care and is just interested in serving mediocre food to its customers."

Great inside the old stock exchange. No thrills chairs and tables, long wait for food but worth it.

The place is worth visiting.each and everyone here is very friendly and professional.And the food was so amazing.I felt the care and effort that was given by the chef in every curry.I can't describe in word how good was it.It was such a great experience that it gives me goosebumps while I am writing this review.

Went to Old India expecting an authentic dining experience but was bitterly disappointed. The starters were ok but my main was 100% from the microwave and tasted like Bistro Gravy The microwave worked overtime. The toilets need inspecting as the mould smell is atrocious The toilets at a festival are more bearable. £51 Total was way too expensive.
OpenTable
food great. atmosphere very cool as the restaurant is located in what used to be the stock exchange of bristol so basically you are having curry in an old bank. service is a little on the slow side.only big disappointment was that when we arrived they did not have a table booked under my name as they said they were no longer part of top table!!!! nevertheless they gave us their last table. lucky.

Stag evening meal 11 guests at Old India. Slightly lost with the TT App pointing the place as being on Baldwin Street. Restuarant Happy for us to change our time and catered for a couple other stag parties too. We ordered the Banquet meal which was £20pp and covered a wide range of food A couple asian friends said it was good and similar to home cooked style which is a good sign. By the end we were stuffed and ready to move on for rest of the evening.

beautiful interior. was happy they were able to preserve alot of the original features to the building. service was friendly and efficient. chicken korma cooked very well however butter chicken somewhat tasted very similar. all dishes came out nice and warm however the hotplates that was suppose to keep the meal warm were not efficient and hence the food did not taste as good perhaps they should look into changing the hot plates. portions were good size.
