Gutted to be leaving this review as I have had good take aways from here previously, but this evening after waiting an hour to collect our food, we get home to find the chicken is completely raw, like pieces weren't even cooked even a little bit and being 30 weeks pregnant I wouldn't even risk eating the rest of the food. I called up and they ask me to bring the food back, as the food was all dished out and packaging thrown away I just took the raw pieces of chicken back to show. What annoyed me the most is I had absolutely no apology, no one looked as though they even cared or ashamed to serve food that could make someone seriously sick. Had I received an "we are so very sorry, we will inform the chef and make sure this doesn't happen again" I probably wouldn't have left this review. I was given the option for them to re do our order, Um no thanks, or receive credit towards our next order, definitely won't be back thanks! They did give me a full refund, and then not even a goodbye when I left.

When you order a takeaway you never get what you’ve ordered and when you phone the staff are unhelpful. Such a shame nice curry just terrible service

Great service as ever, fantastic food, maybe the best Indian food in Bournemouth, although I haven't tried them all, lol. Always fun here.

As one of the biggest reviewers of Indian restraunts in Britain, it is important that I give an honest account and opinion. My aim is not to destroy reputation but to improve curry for everybody. I walked into a very clean establishment, the waiters had a great sense of humour but it was like a giant lads clubs between waiters and delivery drivers chatting and joking, it almost felt like they forgot about their customers! The place was empty apart from two other people, NAAN down the road was significantly more busy. The pickle tray and poppadoms were OK, but the onion and tomatoes were barely cut and very large making it hard to pick out with a tea spoon...that is just pure laziness on the kitchens part! My friends chicken Bhuna turned up luke warm and he described it as nothing special. My South Indian garlic chilli lamb looked the part, however the lamb was more rubbery than my wallet and like an elastic band with so many stringy bits in the lamb. To my horror I found a stringy peice of plastic in my tomato! Unreal! The bombay potatoes were overcooked and mushy. However the keema rice was lovely and the best part of the meal...why on earth is it not on the menu? Its a very common rice dish that the people want! The website menu needs updating as it's years old and misleading on price, as is the menu right outside! I feel that Ali's have got themselves into a cycle of laziness and to survive in the curry world, they just can't afford to continue with this attitude. The pricing was the only benefit, quite a cheap curry but I would have preferred to pay more for higher quality. Won't be hurrying back, highly recommend Bombay Palace at the other end of town. Mr Curry.

food was very nice we had prawn cocktails for starters which were very good and then a pathia and a dansak which were both fresh and perfect levels of spice, also the staff were very welcoming and friendly, definitely will be visiting again xxx

I ordered just for myself. I had the chicken Korma and it was very very tasty & perfect consistency! Probably the best Korma Ive ever had - and included lots of chunks of chicken. The popdadom and garlic nan were lovely too however Naan was slightly cold however I did pick my order up slightly late. Would highly recommend this indian restaurant
