Hi guys
I've walked past this place on jaunts to Lee on Solent for 15 years and formsome reason never took the plunge until recently.
So glad we did!!!!
Stepping into this place it feels unapologetically retro. It almost feels like you've stepped into a curry house from 1987....this is not a bad thing in my opinion and adds to the experience.
8pm on a mid-month Monday is usually graveyard stuff for restaurants, so it said alot that it was packed but they still found us a table.
The atmosphere is great and the staff SUPER friendly!!!
My staple (which I ordered) in an Indian is usually
Mixed kebab: standard but couldn't fault it. Meat was juicy and bharji not greasy
King Prawn Butterfly: big, but slightly dry Lamb bhuna: meat was good, and though not the thickest and richest of sauces was still enjoyable
Brinjal Bharji: no complaints
Mushroom rice: no complaints
Keema naan: again no complaints
My wife had the Chilli Chicken Massalla (which was hotter than advertised, however the chicken was stunningly cooked)
In keeping with the retro feel was the retro price, which I thought was amazing and to be fair is cheaper than alot of takeaways.
Was it the best curry I've ever had....no!!!! however the superb staff never rushed us, were fantastically friendly and for that alone I'd come back, let alone the price
Poppadom tray (4 poppadoms) 2 starters 2 curries 1 rice 1 veggie side 1 naan 3 beers 3 large glasses of Merlot
Cost under £75 and they didn't even ask for a tip or imply it!!!
If your in Lee on Solent and fancy a good meal, at a great price, with greats staff,...
Read moreWhat has happened to this place??? Been going here for years but it seems to have changed hands. Visited on Wednesday 25th August. Waited an hour and a half for just main meals with only five other tables In. Disgusting food frozen pre cooked chicken in a sauce, over cooked dry mixed grill. They seem more focused on takeaways rather than people in the restaurant other tables also not happy with the wait times and food, most left their food paid and left. No care or passion shown from anyone serving they have given up. Will never return now after giving it a go for third time now since it’s changed...
Read moreI have been using this Restaurant now for the past 15 years on and off always recommended it to family and friends and for the last year or so have been picking up a fair few takeaways from there But lately I have been very disappointed with the quality of their food and I think tonight was the last straw for me I'm sorry to say. They are very friendly and always welcoming so it is such a shame to put them down but I have spent a lot of money over the years there but the meal tonight wasn't far from disgusting. I would definitely say this restaurant has gone down hill compared to what...
