Reviews of Bayleaf Kitchen
N. J.
We chose this place for my Birthday. It is honestly such a good place for Indian cuisine. Location is great (there are a few places for drinks before or after) The service was very efficient and we were always looked after.
In terms of the food, it was very good and it uses far less cream than normal Indian takeaways, I ordered the lamb curry and my partner was recommended the vegetarian dish. The portions were big! but we were able to take it home with us
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a curry in Southampton. The price is very reasonable and would suit either couples or a group of friends.

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant while on our anniversary stay in south Hampton and couldn’t believe the gem we had found. It was filled to the brim and probably one of their busiest months being the lead up to Christmas.
Despite having all tables taken and a Christmas party going on, they managed to organise a table for us just at the entrance in less than 5 minutes.
The service was super fast and friendly and they constantly checked on us and when the dishes came out they explained what everything was. We are every single last bit of the 7 dishes we ordered!
I will definitely be back.
A. P.
It's quite a good restaurant. The staff are also very responsive. It also has flexible options for people with any allergies. The food was also tasty and well presented.
A.
I assume this is the best Indian restaurant in town even though it is small. The food is cooked to its ultimate taste. The service and staff were very good as well. You need a booking on weekends as it gets packed very often. Their special lamp biryani is highly recommended.
A. M.
One of the friendliest staff I've ever seen. Everyone was so nice and helpful.
Food was tasty and it came fast.
Prices are more than reasonable and also the restaurant is very clean!
I'll definitely come back to try more dishes. I literally have nothing bad to say about this place
D. D.
Food was absolutely delicious. Friendly chatty staff. Really relaxed atmosphere and beautiful decor. Very reasonable prices too. I can't recommend this restaurant enough if you haven't yet been.

As much as I enjoy being a food critic I honestly can’t fault the service, the food or the atmosphere.
Well done, the food was fantastic I loved the Chicken kali mirchi the spice was just right not too hot and the flavour was amazing…. and the deserts menu looked amazing too but unfortunately, I did not have enough room!
Also the pina-colada I had was very nice and not drowned in rum which was a pleasant surprise!
I will be sure to return in my next visit to Southampton.
J. K.
Excellent food and service, until about half way through our meal when it became a bit chaotic. We were sat near the entrance where people were hovering whilst waiting for their tables, some were waiting over 40 minutes after having booked a time and then one large table were asked to leave, so they were then hovering round us still with pints in their hands. It then took half an hour to get a coffee and our bill, even though we'd asked three times. Very good value for money though.
D. H.
Visited here as a group of 9 last Saturday evening. The food was really tasty and everyone enjoyed their meal. It was reasonable priced and despite the restaurant being busy, the service was good. We would highly recommend and will go again.
K. C.
Ordered a take away for collection and have to say, it was fabulous. Had the Gosht Patiala and it really was one of the finest lamb curries I’ve had. Tandoori king prawns? Lovely. Garlic chilli naan? Spicy. Onion bhajis? Peppery and delicious. Will, without doubt, order here again.
Oh, just ordered again. Quick and delicious. Really outstanding restaurant
I. C.
Pretty good curry. Traditional dishes uplifted a little bit. Lamb samosas for starter were excellent with a little variety of sauces. Had lamb shank for main in an ocean of sauce. Could have been a little more tender but favours were excellent.
K.
The food was excellent, authentic Indian style preparations, very genuine.
Unlike many fake Indian restaurants in UK, running a premade curry show, Bayleaf Kitchen is preparing dishes in a authentic fashion, like an Indian dish must be prepared, from scratch.
I would recommend this restaurant to any and all Indian food cuisine lovers.
J.
I have just had my first meal from Bayleaf Kitchen, and the reason I gave five stars is because I couldn't give ten. Amazing quality ingredients cooked by chefs that genuinely care about quality and cook with passion Wonderful use of fresh herbs and spices. I look forward to dining in the restaurant.
R. S.
I definitely consider myself as a foodie and have tasted the food of majority of all Indian cuisine restaurants (some of whom are in name only tbh) in England and Scotland over the course of the last decade. Suffice it to say that i have always felt that no one could do justice to the depth and delectability of Indian cuisine and have always left somewhat disappointed until by a lucky stroke had the chance to dine at Bayleaf Kitchen while visiting Southampton.
Kudos to the chef and the extremely hospitable owner as well as the staff. You can see they work hard to maintain the dignity of what Indian cuisine stands for. I cannot recommend this place highly enough to anyone in or visiting Southampton. Well on its way to someday earn a Michelin star, here’s hoping!
R. C.
Had a fabulous meal at the Bay leaf tonight - great menu with lots of choice. Service was great. Very reasonably priced too. Thank you!!
J. T.
Didn't have a booking but they squeezed us in. Great service, not expensive, lovely decor. Had poppadoms and pickle tray whilst we choose of the menu. Chose a mixed meat starter to share followed by chicken patia with pilau rice. Delicious 😋
b. s.
Such a good place. I ate more than the capacity in my stomach cuz the food was so good. Very nice hospitality as well.
S. P.
This is one of the best places to have a fine Indian food dine out experience, across most cities in the UK. Food is excellent - delicious starters (including veg options), awesome Curries, well made Biryani and genuinely Indian breads!! Service is warm and efficient and just feels great to be here on a chilly evening. The place was filled up and all reserved on the Saturday evening we were there so definitely book ahead. We’re going back again for sure!!
G. D.
We went on a busy Tuesday night - thanks to Govt 50% deal. Very popular busy restaurant. The food was top notch even though we had to wait a while. The Chicken Cafreal was delicious! Very tasty with a subtle smoky flavour. Highly recommended! Friendly service and good portions even at full price. The restaurant had plastic sheets between tables and hand sanitizer available.
S. R.
We went with friends for a meal this evening. We were made very welcome by the manager and staff. The food was some of the besr we have had. Plentiful and excellent quality. The menu has all our favourite's on so no problem wondering what to eat. We will be returning in the future.
We returned last night. Party of 12. We had a great night. The food was exceptional and plentiful. My wife is vegan. This posed no problems at all. The service was great and the waiters attentive. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for your meals. We will certainly be going back again.
C. D.
Male staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The female ignored us when we first arrived and we told her we had a booking. Service during the meal was attentive and helpful.
According to my spouse the poppodums were good but they charged for them (for two people) without telling us and charged for the chutneys. I didn’t eat any but my spouse did and he ate all of the poppodums so he got his money’s worth but didn’t love the chutney and sauces. His Dhansak was okay but according to him, not the best he’s had, just average flavor. He did think the lamb was moist however.
I asked for a recommendation for a chicken dish without coconut or dairy and was advised to get the chicken cafrael. It was tomato based and a bit spicy with a lot of flavor. The chicken was moist but the flavors were more reminiscent of Italian than Indian. The rice was average. I prefer more flavor from pilau.
They put Christmas crackers on the tables which was fun though noisy and messy when everyone in the restaurant was pulling them.
They had a bowl of candy by the register and gave two little chocolates with the bill. I didn’t have any but my husband did and enjoyed them.
Reason I knocked off another star: they charged us for two Coke Zero drinks when my husband only had one and when we told them they acted like they voided it in the restaurant and then redid the charge with our card for a lower amount but on our bank statement we can see that it was not voided.
B. W.
Fantastic curry, would recommend and visit again. Kor Kora Crab to start and Jungli Duck for main - exquisite. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Cocktails are tasty and well priced at £5.99. £30 a head for 2 course meal and drinks - excellent value. Good service. Very busy on friday night, booking advised.
M. M.
Fantastic Indian restaurant! Service was sweet and the food unreal! So many good dishes! I went on a Monday night and the place was packed out :)
M. R.
Amazing place with super cool green mood lighting. Friendly service and a huge vegetarian menu to choose from. I was recommended the Malai Kofta. It tasted great! Indian style dumplings made from potatoes with a creamy cashew but and tomato sauce. This is one of the best Indian dinners I've had in a while. Prices reasonable too. Highly recommended if you're in Southampton.
A. R.
Lovely Indian restaurant with excellent food and friendly staff. Although they do tend to clear tables before you've finished eating, which can be a bit annoying it does not detract from the great service you get here
k. k. (.
Amazing food in Bayleaf kitchen very good atmosphere excellent staff above all weldone to the chef 👏👏👍👌👌

We came for a birthday meal so there was 8 of us. The restaurant wasn't busy only another 4 or 5 tables of 2 and 4 people. We arrived before 5.30pm and wernt greeted straight away as the entry was filled with delivery drivers and staff were engrossed in their own conversations and the manager was taking take away orders. We were shown to our table at the back of the restaurant but were not offered drinks until 15 minutes later, those drink took 10 minutes to arrive, we ordered soft drinks.
It took about half hour and us asking to order before we did and then it took an hour for our starters to come out. Not everyone on the table ordered starters so this seemed an excessive amount of time. We had to keep asking for our drinks to be refreshed rather than offered. A waiter knocked one of our drinks over and didn't think to offer to replace it. It was only bottled water but all the same, this should have been replaced. Our starters were cleared quite promptly but we did have to wait another hour for our mains, in which 2 didn't arrive and an extra dish that wasn't ordered was. This was remedied quickly, which made me wonder why we had to wait so long for all of our our meals if 2 meals could be prepared at speed. I got the impression that the restaurant was far more concerned with getting take away orders out rather than tending to us. All in all, the food was nice and the staff friendly. The service wasn't great and I think this was realised by the manager who did discount our bill without us asking, for which we were grateful. We were in the restaurant for nearly 3 hours just for starters and mains for 8 people. This, for me and my family was too long as the children became restless and bored. If you're in town, this may be a convenient restaurant due to placement near the city centre but if customer service is important to you then look around.
M. W.
Don't be fooled by the outside this place is a palace inside (well almost)! Really nice decor and lovely staff. Food was as expected although we didn't do starters but how do they make the curly poppadoms?
s. c.
We have always had excellent service and food is authentic Indian.The Owner Manager and waiting staff are very polite.Hats off to kitchen staff to cope on busy weekends
Take Away or Eat in very delicious experience
R. B.
Visited yet again on Saturday night. Food perfect as always. Also went again 15th Jan. Saturday night out with friends. Restaurant was far too busy unfortunately and the service suffered terribly. Not a good night. They were also busy with take aways at the same time. Food still perfect but took forever to get any attention, drinks, bill etc. Shame.
A. G.
Best curry i have had in a while, very nice indeed. Nice restaurant and good service at a resonable price.
C. S.
Really enjoyed the takeaway from here. Great tasting food, great service and got their own unique style and flavours. If you love Indian food would highly recommend here.Decent prices compared to some of the others as well.
C. C.
Beautiful fish curry's. Great service. Good atmosphere. Visited twice and look forward to next visit.
A. N.
Absolutely delicious meal. We were visiting Southampton and looking for a nice place to eat with family friends. Saw the great reviews and it did not disappointing. Would definitely recommend.
The following written the my 10 year old son: Usually when I go to an Indian restaurant I pick at the food, try it it and constantly drink water for the next 15 min. But at Bayleaf, it was nothing like it. The food was incredible. The flavour was strong but good. Oh, and if you like spice, this is the perfect place to put yourself to the test.
B. R.
I used to be quite regular here during my work days in Southampton. The Mukesh and Daulat Singh ji both are very welcoming. If you're going for dinner make sure you either book a table in advance or arrival early. It gets super busy after 7 in the evening. Don't miss the mock tails!
R. F.
This is one the best nicest Indian restaurants that I have been to a while. The food was amazing with a great variety of choices. Clean and friendly service. I will be back.
G. C.
My favorite Indian restaurant in Southampton. I’ve visited this restaurant 5-6 times in 6 weeks as I was staying in a hotel nearby. The food and service is very good!!
A. B.
Delicious food! Lovely experience and amazing staff members!
S. H.
Stayed in Southampton for 3 nights and ate in the Bayleaf every night. Kingfisher on draft was an extra bonus.
S. B.
Place was packed when we got there but still got great service. Food was a little bit more expensive than average but well worth it. Chicken platter starter was lovely and main course really good. Definitely worth a second visit.
C. E.
Great takeaway, strongly recommended. My search for a great curry place in Southampton is over, will be coming back again.
B. C.
Always great food and service, have been multiple times and it is our go to for an Indian meal out
K. U.
Very high standard of food and service in a lovely setting, would recommend this to those who enjoy Indian food from different regions of India, great selection and choice, not just your standard late night curry house.
B. M.
Amazing, just amazing. The welcome, the ambiance, the service and most importantly the food, WOW!
I cannot fault anything at this place. A lot of freebies thrown in at the end to top off an amazing night of great Indian food! Well done to Daulat Singh and the entire team at Bay Leaf Southampton. If I am in the city again, I will definitely be coming back here! Brilliant
J. w.

P. L.
Lovely restaurant with amazing food and very good service (played an Indian song I requested too)! 💖 will definitely be back soon!
L. D.
Didn't book a table, turned up and was seated fairly quickly, nice drinks, food was great but what made it that little bit better than anywhere else was the service. The gentleman that served was very good, knew exactly the dish we wanted even though we didn't know the name. Portion was bigger than we could fit but he was so worried incase something was wrong. Quite the opposite. They offered to box it up so that we could take it back but we declined. Overall very good experience and we will be back.
C. S.
We were traveling through Southampton and decided to collect dinner from Bayleaf.
Must try Malai Kofta and lachha parathan. So far best Malai kofta that I ever had in South West england
J. B.
Fabulous service. The food is delicious every time.

M. G.
Went here on Friday evening, this is my Son's favorite Indian, have to say I was not disappointed.
Flavour in the dishes was excellent and a little different to my normal places I have eaten before.
Only thing I would say was i did feel a little rushed but the service was good, It was starting to get very busy so guessing the wanted the table for the next sitting.
N. M.
Good ambience, Good food and courteous people. Highly recommend.

Went for a sit down meal here during theast week of Aug, last min decision as we were walking around the docks about to head back to the hotel. Walked up to the restaurant, conveniently situated.. We arrived shortly after opening and was greeted politely and show a table... The food was lovely and staff friendly.. Reasonably priced and soon filled up on the many dishes on offer. If in southampton again we'd visit for sure.. Perfect for an evening meal before a busy day ahead at Peppa pig world...
E.
Lovely food. Very attentive service.
J. G.
Wow...a perfect night out with work colleagues.....amazing food...lovely cocktails and the best service you could ever wish for. Thank you all for making our evening so enjoyable....looking forward to coming back again soon x
L. O.
Just had another take away from the Bayleaf I love chicken Madras the meat is so delicious and their curries are delicious amazing. The staff and the owner are brilliant nothing is too much trouble I would recommend this restuarant to every one . If you need take away or delivery you must try it best curries ever I live 13 miles from them but still have them.
E. H.
Visited Bayleaf Kitchen today for dinner with a friend, as the restaurant was recommend by another friend. The food and the service was very good. The only thing was that we had to wait a while for the bill to arrive. Overall it was a good experience and we will definitely return. highly recommend this place to you
M. G.
tasty food, nice restaurant, friendly staff.
F. E.
The service was good but the food wasn't as good i thought it would be.
M. B.
We've eaten here half a dozen times in the past year. The food is absolutely delicious. Great attention to detail. Everything is full of flavour. The restaurant is lovely and bright and immaculate and the staff cannot do enough for you. My favourite Indian restaurant in Southampton for sure.
A.
Delicious food and the quality is excellent, A* would recommend.
Staff are super friendly and welcoming, huge menu and perfect quality.
V. N.
Undoubtedly the best Indian restaurant in Southampton. Authentic Indian cuisine, hard to find in Southampton. The food served is top quality and the menu has a lot of variety to offer. We go there ever so often. Mr Daulat, the manager is an excellent host and the staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend this place.
D. S.
One the best restaurant in Southampton. Delicious food and have never been disappointed with the taste which is always consistent. Generous portion at reasonable price. Excellent customer service. 100% recommend.
D. W.

R. E.
Great selection on the menu. Flavours were good and ample portion sizes. We had a lovely meal.
V. O.
The food here is fantastic. You will be hard pressed to find a better Indian restaurant nearby. The service staff and management are also top notch. They go out of there way to ensure you have the best possible dining experience. Next time I’m in the area, I will definitely return! You won’t be disappointed!
W. M.
Really good food and an amazing Glutten Free selection, pretty much everything is GF except the breads and samosas. We've had food from other Indian Restaurants purporting to be GF that has made my partner really ill but this passed with flying colours and the flavours and quality of everything was outstanding. We had four starters four curries and different rice and breads to feed our family and everyone cleaned their plates. Loads left so curry tomorrow too!! I wanted to give them five stars but we ordered at 6.15pm and the food arrived at 8pm! I ordered online via their website which was very easy to use and included a discount for a large order, I called to check their menu was properly GF because so few things were labelled and some breads weren't, they apologised and said all breads had glutten but everything else was good. They said it should take about an hour. I'd have forgiven 1hour 20 but 1 hour 45 was bad even for a Saturday night. I called again and they apologised and said the driver was on route but was delivering two orders, so they probably delayed ours to go with the other order which was closer so they went there first. Luck of the draw I guess but knocking one star off.
m. m.
Super service and great food with a really good atmosphere
N. S.
We kind of liked the place but possibly because we are Indians, expectations were more difficult to meet. Anyways, their Meat Beliram and tadka daal was good. Paneer in Paneer takatak was nice and soft, which definitely cannot be credited to its freshness. Will try couple of more items and update later.
R. Z.
Delicious! Good price and portions. Just enough and perfect. Great attentive service. The only downside is if you have a table by the bar, it gets really tight and everyone is going to pass by all the time. But great food and service compensate! We love it!
Д. Д.
Best Indian in Hampshire. Food, service, place is impeccable
A. H.
Enjoyed a great dinner with friends, easy to book online, great service, great food, affordable price's. No complaints whatsoever.
N. K.
Took my parents for dinner here. We all had starters, curry, rice and naan. The variety was great (plenty of vegetarian options), the waiters were really friendly and even helped my mum decide what to order which took quite a lot of patience! All of the food was really delicious, my parents were really happy. The price was really good as well. Would definitely go again.
B. T.
We stopped by for the buffet and were amazed by the food and the friendly staff. The spice combinations were perfect and the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The restaurant was very clean and bright and the service was excellent. We agree with the other reviewers, this is the best Indian food we've ever had!
B. F.
Just amazing indian food. Been there twice now.... and if I visit Southampton again, that's my place to go 🤤
R. B.
Finally a restaurant that can easily beat my taste, absolute quality, its worth paying their prices, sometimes chapatis can be little underdone, but the taste of the food is always awesome,
Food shouts on your face, the chefs are north Indians. Guys thank you for looking after my Daal, roti and bhindi crave.
K. K.
Wonderful buffet, worth every penny.
R. B.
Hidden gem in Southampton - my favourite restaurant! Beautiful interior, quiet traditional music and the best curries in Southampton (in my opinion) for a very reasonable price. The lunch buffet is a bargain at £8. The staff are extremely nice - they remember us and greet us every time and make us feel like valued customers. If there was a Bayleaf hotel I'd stay in it.
D. B.
Fabulous restaurant. Have been here many times. We come to Southampton from Plymouth to eat here. Love the food which is great value for money and the quality can't be beaten. Such friendly staff. Highly recommend it.
V. I.
Excellent service. Magic food!
p. m.
Best curry I have had in years. The only problem is that I live so far away!
The flavours are spectacular.
Very friendly and accommodating staff. I wanted something mild for my young daughter and they knocked up a special and I wanted a Balti which wasn’t on the menu and they were happy to do it too.
V. K. S.
Food not upto mark, staff very helpful and caring..
C. D.
The staff were incredibly friendly. There was one female staff member who smiled all night, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Such a nice environment to have a meal in! The food was also fantastic, the presentation was amazing and the taste was too. No complaints!
M. M.
We visited in 2017 from Australia and still rank Bayleaf Kitchen the best ever! We are looking forward to the day we can travel internationally again and come back. Superb food and memorable service.
C. S.
One of the best places so far, food was just amazing, full of flavour and cooked brilliantly. Staff were nice and helpful and incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. Everything is displayed to ensure safety for all. Highly recommend.
B. B.
Brilliant Experience from start to finish, Staff, Service and Food were all excellent! Mocktails were the best I have ever had!
H. I.
Planned my team lunch here and it's always delightful as usual. The food, ambience and the staff make your visit worth while. Highly recommend if you are interested in and have a taste for good authentic Indian cuisine.
B. T.
I've eaten Indian food up and down the country ( never in India, mind ) and have to say that this is probably the tastiest I've ever had.
Arrived, on my own, at 7pm and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Always a good sign.
H. J.
Absolutely fantastic. Service was brilliant, food outstanding. I should have taken pictures but forgot and only have piccies of empty plates! Totally recommended.
N. W.
Very busy but great food and friendly staff.
D. E.
Very helpful and willing to spend time discussing other work.
K. J.
fantastic.........!
Six of us had a wonderful time yesterday,celebrating ma friend's b'day with a great food and the service was excellent with always someone to hand walking by or checking up on us The restaurant is small but tasteful in decor. My friends said the Bay leaf cuisine was very interesting and tasteful. It made me look good for suggesting it . If you visit Southampton you must not miss this place!
R.
very nice surrounding and great staff. Had the lamb chops for starters ... amazingly tasty. The owner recommended the main course....I could still taste it the next day, it was so good. Would definitely go again.
g. b.
The food is absolutely lovely, and the service friendly. The menu has a lovely variety of Indian dishes, including the "standard" Indian restaurant items like Chicken Tikka Masala, and even these are a little bit special... They combine the flavour you expect with a lovely sense that they've been cooked with care.
We now use this as our "local takeaway" despite the fact that there are a dozen Indian restaurants that are closer.
C. C.
Fantastic! I've eaten a lot of curry in the past 30 years, all over the UK and beyond, and this has to be one of the best. In Soton for work and found the Bayleaf on Google. Well, for once, the reviews were correct - the food was delicious and genuinely fresh. Friendly, attentive and informal service and the chef taking time to talk with the customers. Try it - I doubt you'll be disappointed.
S. H.
Fantastic service, amazing food and friendly staff. We're incredibly lucky to have this restaurant nearby. We used to go to other Indian restaurants in Southampton, but rarely do so after Bayleaf opened.
S. C.
One of the best indian restaurant. Mr Manager is amazing guy. The staff are very friendly. Chef is cool guy. Great ambience. Best curries and amazing customer care. Once you go to this restaurant i bet you will not go to any other place. Chef has magic in his hand. Must go.
M.
Far and away the best Indian in Southampton. The rating does the talking. Affordable yet delicious and varied lunchtime buffet and a spectacular a la carte evening menu with many dishes you won’t see anywhere else. Highly recommend dal makhani and malai kofta.
A. S.
Tandoori King Prawn as a starter was very tasteful. Well cooked and presented. The Lamp chops were also well in tasting, but I would have preferred them cooked a little more (personal preference). Otherwise a good place to go. Good food and good service. Win/Win
F. F.
Our designated waiter was moody and quick to rush us to order and clean our table without asking if we were finish. The other waiter (Rahjeet/Sonny) who just started was so much more friendly and attentive. The food was pretty good eventhough we waited quite a while for the food to come.
M. M.
We had some poppadums and pickles to start with, we shared some mixed vegetable and kebab starters - which were very nice indeed. We had 2 chicken dishes including the Chicken Chatinnad - brilliant, Desi Chicken Curry and a lamb dish called Gosht Patiala. All of these dishes were excellent and we also had dhal and okra, rice and nan breads.
a. A.
Yeah I love this place. I visited once and definitely gonna be back here another time. Nice staff and quite environment.
The food was fantastic (chicken tikka and chicken biryani) yummy . Got to meet the chef and thanked him. They say nothing is perfect but for me Everything here was perfect to me.
S. P.
Best Indian Restaurant in Southampton!!!! I am not saying this for the sake of saying! Truly amazing Chef and excellent staff. If you're looking for a genuine Indian restaurant this is the only place to go! We know our Indian food trust me! We only eat at good restaurants and would not go anywhere else in southampton for an Indian meal. You won't be disappointed.
s. n.
Very good and delicious chicken food. Have already sent there thrice. Will go again. Owner Daulat singh is also a good person. It's very hard to get a seat there on weekends. You have to book the seat earlier.
A. A.
These guys make the best biryani in Southampton! Among a few I've had in the UK. The raita with the biryani was very refreshing and authentic. The Chicken Tikka was superb too!!.... speeded up the takeaway cooking so I could catch my ferry. Great place.
C. V.
Glad that I found this place ! It's really a must try if you're visiting Southampton. I went in without a reservation but was seated in a flash. The place can get busy so reservations are reccomended. The best part is the food and service - authentic and exceptional !

Love this place. Very smart inside with great service from the staff. Huge choice on the menu, the quality of food is excellent and everything is reasonably priced. The cocktails menu is a bonus also!

£9 for a lunch time buffet! Very good service too, granted there weren't many people in at the time so we could be given more time, but it was still good! Took my team from work there for a team lunch, probably will add it to our monthly rota!

Went there for the first time last night had had an amazing meal. Scallops
chicken chat and lamb bhoona All were fantastic Can't wait to go back. Brilliant food and excellent service

The starters are very good. Ordered Kerala fish curry. It doesn’t seems to have any Kerala taste base and this dish is very disappointing. Also the special rice they gave is old one and the rice got spoiled and tasted horrible.
a. r.
Really nice atmosphere, staff very friendly and attentive, service prompt, prices very reasonable and last but not least food was excellent. Beautifully spiced and portions just right. I would thoroughly recommend a visit if in Southampton.

(Translated) An Indian restaurant that doesn't look great on the outside, but has a fresh decor inside. You will be received as friends. And it's delicious. An address to remember.
It is better to book.

Un restaurant indien qui ne paye pas de mine à l'extérieur, mais déco fraîche à l'intérieur. Vous serez reçus comme des amis. Et c'est délicieux. Une adresse à retenir.
Il vaut mieux réserver.
