Came here with my father for a night out. Very cosy and refined atmosphere. Staff were wonderful and polite. Was my first time eating Indian out, and was not disappointed!

Visiting UK from Canada on a long winded "pub crawl". Ended up in Bishops Waltham and needed a curry. The food was outstanding, service was excellent. Would highly recommend if you like pukka curry!

Amazing food but less of the salesman tactic would be great! We regularly get takeaways from friends and absolutely love the food. A group of us friends decided to go for some food and once again I cannot fault the food. The prices are much more than takeaway prices which is fine but just to pre warn people. The guys working are lovely but every single thing we ordered we felt pressured into more. ‘One poppadom each please’ then comments about pushing us to have 2. Straight to mains, felt pushed to order sides! I totally get these are tough times and they want to make money but it just felt a bit awkward and unnecessary. We love your food so will be back but please ease off. You aren’t estate agents !!

The best curry I have ever had… it was the egg rice that had sweet onion and fresh coriander that just tasted amazing with the very tasty Pasanda. I cook allot of curry so my expectations are high. They did something special to make the curry taste fresh and refined.

I only had a takeaway on this visit, but the food was excellent. It was recommended by my friends and I'm very glad I listened.Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere whilst waiting for my order.

Had a wonderful meal tonight with my husband. We had starters and mains and every bite was delicious! The flavours were divine and meat beautifully tender - Really good quality food. You couldn't fault the service and the place was immaculately clean. Tables were laid lovely and we loved the dim lights and relaxed vibe. Not rushed at all and very pleasant evening. Kept noticing lovely little features like the glittery walls or velvet wallpaper and sparly light bulbs. Will definitely be back. Recommended this restaurant 100%. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We went with our family to celebrate my husband birthday, there were ten of us ranging in age 6- 74 a d they were brilliant, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.The menu has a range of traditional dishes and some fabulous new dishes,such as lamb shanks cooked in a slightly spicy sauce,there are also dishes that are not too spicy,so some thing to suit all tastes.Kid-friendliness: They were wonderful with our grandchildren and spoke to them when taking the orders,which meant the children felt included.Parking: There is a car park just a short walk behind the restaurant which is free after 6pmDietary restrictions: They were very helpful with these,especially when we asked about them

Wow absolutely great service, fantastic food and loved the quality of the food. I can say this place was amazing. Visited the night before our cruise and it was a great start to the amazing holiday
This was excellent Indian food. My wife and I were travelling from Australia and were keen for a good curry while in the UK and Friends did not disappoint. We were both so full but kept eating as we did not want to waste any of our meal. Will definitely come back here if we are in the area!

Had the most beautiful duck, cooked perfectly to my request (basically quacking still) Not the first, nor the last time I shall be here for the duck & other meals. Excellent service. One of my particular favourites. Always a pleasure here

First visit was last Saturday. Food was spot on. Lovely tasty starters. Main, chicken tikka Dhansk Tasty, tender, and full of fresh herbs .. with spiced mushroom rice. Nicely cooked naan. Husband had chicken tikka Madras super spiced and tender. So nice we came back this week with 2 of our grandchildren 12 and 10. Started with some papadoms and chutneys.. kids had lamb Korma and a lamb Bhuna. With coconut rice. Both said was best curry they'd ever had and gave it 10/10. We shared some onion bhajis with the main. And 2 naan I tried the Patia this week, (my favourite) once again spot-on. Husband has same. We all cleared our plates.. well worth the drive from Southsea. Will definitely be visiting regularly.. Well done to all the staff!!
