    Since my last visit about a year ago, (which wasn't bad) I have to say this establishment has improved vastly. The intimate setting, unique relaxing music, fresh flowers, candles, cloth napkins... Great work gentlemen, see you again.

    Super food, super service. The best Indian Restaurant in the area by far. It’s a friendly restaurant where the staff are only too happy to help and give advice on dishes.

    we had really fast service which suited us as we were hungry. As always, the food did not disappoint. The lamb in their balti was tender and there was lots of it.

    Good service, good food and a good feel to the restaurant. However, although the staff were efficient I do believe that they could be more friendly.

    Poor quality food, no flavour. The ordering process was very unusual. We were required to order our curry then after everyone had ordered, we had to order the rice. There were 10 of us. Creamy dishes were curdled.

    Good food but atrocious service. The table was booked for 7.15.pm. and we arrived on time . The meal arrived at 8.45.p.m. It is the first time at any restaurant that I have not left a tip

    Great food and service. We had a mix of special dishes, each one was well presented, with unique flavours. The waiter advised on what side dishes to have, which complemented the meal.

    Restaurant was nice, one of the staff was lovely and made us feel welcome the other one should have stayed home that night, he was surly and clearly didn’t want to be there, we had been recommended to come here, sadly for us the food wasn’t good, very bland, we probably wouldn’t go back

    Great service. Lovely meal and friendly staff. Not very busy but probably due to the inability to take card payments. Cash only. Seen this before on door so not sure if card machine ever working or installed?

    Service was great as usual. Thought I’d try something new, the wild lemon lamb. It was a bit disappointing, no heat and a bit greasy. Maybe it just wasn’t for me as everything else was good. My wife’s chicken chat was delicious.

    Overpriced for the quality of food. They got my wife's main course order wrong which was a real shame. The lamb sheek for starter was very dry. The mint ice cream desert was a bowl of cold syrup.

    Great food and service but the restaurant can be very noisy so if you want quiet romantic meal this may not be the one. We had to move tables half way through our meal as the guy on the next table was set on telling the whole of Fareham is business and we just could not have a conversation but staff were very good and found us a table as far away as possible.

    Good prompt service food very good and freshly cooked and most importantly hot. Surroundings clean and tidy also very spacious not sitting in each other's laps. Only criticism was that the portions were a bit on the small size for the price.
