Panshi - Elmbridge

We have visited Panshi several times recently and service is always polite and friendly and the food is excellent. We have chosen from the specials on each occasion and the dishes were full of flavour and tasty. We would recommend the restaurant to anyone.

Great food and excellent service once again. Pleasurable experience and would have no hesitation in recommending to everyone.

My pair of friends and I went to Panshi last night on the occasion of my 85 birthday to celebrate ? the event. I had my favourite chicken pasanda £12.95 coupled with a stuffed parath and thick tarka dal. One friend had chicken tikka masala £12.75 ; the other had balti tropical £15.95 . Both had the usual accompanyments that go with these dishes. It was a wet night which explained the fact that few people were in the restaurant that evening. I was informed that they are normally very busy as ideed they were when we first visited Panshi on 13 February this year so there was a quiet but welcoming atmosphere. All the food was as delicious as before. As before, everything was spotlessly clean including the men 's lavatory with linen tablecloths. The staff are exceptionally friendly and efficient. Parking outside was effortless. The large and extensive menu did state that prices had had to rise by 3 8% due to increasing overheads; everything, therefore, cost a bit more than it did last time but was still extremely good value. We intend going back again in 6 8 weeks time. In summary: stil first rate. Highly recommended.

My first visit to Panshi. The staff were friendly and the food was good. It was easy to park outside. We had the mixed starters which were very nice, followed by the Panshi chicken special which was tasty and a lamb dish (the lamb was a bit chewy) but overall it was a good meal.

Although it's only a mile or so from where I live and although I'm a great lover of Indian sub Continent food, it was the first time that I had been there, I went with two friends last night (13 Feb). Panshi is situated in a U shaped road that leads to Hinchley Wood Railway Station. The moment we stepped in, we felt that the restaurant gave out a welcoming atmosphere. I counted 11 tables all of which were rapidly filled shortly after our arrival. The service was prompt, friendly and efficient. I had my usual (chicken pasanda, tarks dal and a stuffed paratha); my friends ordered lamb biriani, lamb pathia, a keema nan and rice. My pasanda was probably the best one I had ever tasted, the tarka dal was perfectly thickened and the stuffed paratha was good (although a little thin). All dishes were thoroughly enjoyed. Prices are reasonable and in line with equivalent restaurants. The restaurant and the lavatories were immaculately clean. Parking (after 6pm) outside or close by is a doddle. I can't find anything to criticise about Panshi. It appears that the restaurant is normally filled with local residents so booking is highly advisable!! Other reviewers, I note, give high recommendations; I'm adding mine. NB Readers (if any) of my various reviews may have noticed that I have yet to write an unfavourable one. Be assured that my standards really are exacting and any faults are recorded in my reviews. I guess I've been very fortunate in visiting good/excellent restaurants.
