“Excellent food, polite and nice staff, relaxing atmosphere.”

Authentic Indian food, wonderful selection of dishes outside of the normal ‘English takeaways.’ I can’t fault the quality, flavour and service. We love eating here and come back a few times a year for a treat. Level of chili heat could be higher in some of the hotter dishes. Overall, wonderful.

Two of us ate here on a Wednesday evening in early March and it was great to see other diners eating too. The food was authentic and DELICIOUS. The service was excellent, friendly and really welcoming. The food was some of the best Indian food I have eaten in a long time. Definitely eat here if you can, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely time

Very friendly staff, attentive service. One of the better Indian food experiences. Well-seasoned, fairly generous portions and reasonably priced. Starter dosa was more like an appam in texture but tasty potato masala and condiments. So often dal is a bit of an afterthought but this version was savoury with a dry (?) tadka. Another first was boneless goat in the Hyderabadi Goat & Aubergine which wasn’t really ‘2 chiili hot’ but very enjoyable nonetheless. Naan was OK, along with the okra starter. Recommended ‘semolina & rice powder cooked in sweetened milk with cashews and raisins’ was basicall

Visited this Indian eatery. And Indian means, truly Indian. Chefs are Indian, and that what you expect dining at a speciality cuisine restaurant. The Goan fish curry was genuinely goan and not the fusion of unnecessary and excessive oil and spice. Kudos to the chefs of restaurant for serving the dishes hot and tasteful. I wish this trend continues and the people at large are not fooled by pseudo Indian restaurants around. If anyone around Southampton or visiting the south beaches, strongly recommended to visit and enjoy Indian delicacies prepared by INDIAN chefs. Cheers to the team for the fab
