Basmati Nepalese And Indian

It was alright food but sadly not great food. The curry spices had a good balance but didn’t delight and the non meat portions were on the generous side especially the rice. The grilled peshwari bread was the biggest taste disappointment as it tasted only sugary but then it was only £3. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the seating was ok; the decor is a bit 1970’s. I had a paneer main dish, which was fine but honestly, and I do keep referencing the fact that M&S curries are so much better flavoured and generously portioned. My wife had tandoor chicken shashlik main there was no tandoor used in cooking our food here) so the flavour was just sort of alright if you want to be kind when it could have been great. All the food arrived really piping hot. This was a first for us, in that where we come from, if one orders from the tandoori part of the main menu a curry sauce comes with the order but here it was a separate charge. The poppadoms too were extra when again we usually get them complimentary. The bill was £55 for two curry mains, a pilau rice, a way overcooked potato and cauliflower side, sweet nan, a pint of beer £5) and a 175ml glass of rosé. We added a tip ourselves. There were only two other diners at 7pm on a Thursday night. I doubt we’ll return not because it was bad but because it’s just not good enough. Here’s the thing, as eat out prices are rising folks who do dine out now rightly expect a full flavour darn good dine experience not oh well that was just ok. Summing up, although it’s a restaurant the food seemed more like what you’d cook at home as an amateur working from no skill or knowledge f Asian cooking or how to use spices to impress guests and from the cheapest ingredients you could find from an average supermarket.

One of the best curry houses out there. Never ever had bad experience here..the staff (owners) are so friendly it's a pleasure to visit. If you want a great curry in friendly ,pleasant surroundings..this is the place. One of our top five in Southampton..

A local brought my partner and myself for dinner yesterday. The restaurant is very cosy, staff friendly professional and good hospitality. The food was just devine, I would suggest ordering various dishes and share them. My favourite was the chicken corma, the lamb and spinach dish was devine, rice pilaf too. Everything! I highly recommend!

Lovely meal . Very tender meat .very friendly and helpful staff. Very reasonable prices . Quick service .

Nice little curry house. Excellent staff, that have been here for a good while and are attentive and courteous. Quality food with just the right portion size. Been coming here for years and love it. In fact wouldn't go anywhere else for a proper curry that readily suits the English palate anyway ! Early evening as a couple or with mates after a night out Basmati is the place to go.
