Rokali's — Restaurant in New Forest

Stayed at PremierInn in Hordle overnight prior to getting a ferry to the Isle of Wight the following morning, saw this restaurant on Google Maps and thought I'd get a takeaway.

Boy was I glad did! The food arrived hot, which was a great sign. The actual food itself was absolutely stunning. The chicken in the Chicken Tikka Starter was really big pieces of chicken that was exquisitely spiced and flavoursome. The same goes for all the meat in the Tandoori Mixed Grill. The Onion Bhaji were delicious too and my wife certainly enjoyed her Prawn Puri.

The highlight however had to be the Peshwari Naan bread and a special shout out to the RED MINT SAUCE!

If I'm ever in Hordle again then I know where I'm eating.

Do you deliver to Cardiff...

Although our takeaway was quite good I have awarded 3 stars to rokalis for the following reasons. Chicken madras had no discernible flavour, could have been anything. Could not find any King prawns in our king prawn biryani just tiny shrimps Peshwari nan looked liked a keema nan with bits of almonds etc put inside almost as an afterthought. Later in the evening after the meal my wife and I had heartburn, primarily due to the quantity of oil used in the cooking. We know from previous experiences that excess oil causes this. On the positive side lamb bhuna and chicken aan were both very nice and...

1st time ordering here. We had 3 mains, 2 rice and 3 different breads. The curries were delicious and you could taste the difference between them. Which has been difficult finding at other restaurants. The meal was superb. The only reason I have given 4 stars instead of 5 is because the stuffed paratha was thick and doughy. Not crispy on the outside either. Reheated next day in some ghee it was almost perfect. This is going to be our local Indian restaurant from now on. Highly recommended. We might even eat in the restaurant...
