The Paradise Balti House — Restaurant in East Hampshire

Where do I begin, I went in for dinner Table for one . I thought that’s easy enough expectations wasn’t any as I hadn’t been there since a meal with Mark Owen .. went in hungry . Ordered vegetable samosas . They were hot , however not crispy also no colour , filled with peas and a salad which was limp leafs .Popadoms if that’s how you spell it apologies.. they were soft , had to call waiter to look for fresh ones , these were obviously left from yesterday . Ordered for Main chicken tikka , this was served on a hot platter , similar to a Mexican fajita meal , pieces of chicken not on the bone , colour has red as a tomato , meat was white inside , soft but absolutely no flavour or spice , no seasoning . Very poor main , I returned this back to waiter and I was asked did I want another dish unfortunately Not , I was put off .. the chicken hadn’t marinated and was awful . The rice was hot and Naan bread , I asked for garlic and got plain was probably the only thing fresh . The chutney and dip were thin sauce and tasteless .. you were unable to dip .. coke ordered in a pint glass was full of ice and flat , obviously poured from a bottle .. guys chef you need to step up with those prices serving mediocre food . You get a better spread in a box at Waitrose . Left restaurant...

Rang up to place an order last night, and first disappointment was that they don't do delivery, but not a major problem as we just went down to pick it up. Time frame of 25-40mins given, so we headed down after 40 mins, and still end up waiting a further 15 minutes, if not more, with no offer of a drink while waiting.

The food was given to us in a box, which was a nice easy way to carry it, but when we got it home at looked in the box, all of the containers were swimming in grease that had leaked out of one containers on the top. Half of the food was cold, mild dishes ordered for children were spicy (as tested by adults), and food that we'd asked to be extra spicy wasn't. All of the dishes were sugary, the veggie dish tasted as if it had been made using tinned vegetables and not fresh ones. Chicken balti, don't know what turned up but it definitely wasn't a chicken balti. Having spend near £100, big...

Really disappointed with our visit to the paradise last night. The food was fine no problems with that but the waiters were so miserable and often sounding rude. I'm sure they were not like this on our last visit. We even got asked to drink up and leave as they wanted to go home. When we did go there was no sign of of a cheery good bye and thank you. Not a work. Wished I hadn't of paid gratuity now. Please get some friendlier staff or at least some that seem interested...
