My wife and I went here on Saturday night (5th May 2018), we hadn't booked but that wasn't a problem. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant, which soon became busy and full of atmosphere. My wife loves fish dishes but was apprehensive after having a poor fish dish in another Indian restaurant, but she needn't have worried. Both her fish starter and fish main (as recommended by our waiter) were, in her words, the best she'd ever had! I played more safely and went for my favourite of chicken madras, with mushroom rice and Bombay potatoes. All of these were great and suitably spicy. The bottle of wine we chose was also very good. We were so impressed we even had pudding, both of which were, again, very good. The service was great and, overall, we had a lovely evening. We will definitely return on our next visit to Portsmouth!
My favourite Indian restaurant in Portsmouth. Food is always amazing, atmosphere is good and staff friendly. I highly recommend this place.
This curry house is the place to go for top notch food and excellent service, you have an extensive menu and nothing is a problem.Would recommend to anyone who appreciates good food and service, 15 out of 10 every time
Can honestly say tonight’s lamb Jalfrezi was one of the best I’ve ever had!!! After leaving a drunken negative review a while ago tonight was incredible. Literally amazing!!
Lovely food, one of the best in Portsmouth. Would recommend it.

First went to the spice merchants in may as we live in ashford. I booked it again for my partners birthday on saturday the service was excellent and the food was stunning keep up the good work.
Went here for my birthday - the food was excellent- really nicely spiced, well cooked and lovely presentation. The level of service was outstanding, waiters were fantastic, really attentive and friendly, going extra mile - made my birthday celebration even more special - will definitely go back :)
Previously dined here 2 years ago while on Holiday. Back to Southsea on a short family break, after harping on for 2 years about the food, I persuaded the family to visit last night. The food and atmosphere was just as I remembered. Amazing, with the family quoting it was the best Indian they had in years. I highly recommend the chefs special Biryani “pictured” Thx
Found this place a few weeks ago so we thought we would give it a try. Not disappointed at all. The menu looks wonderful, with so many different starters to choose from and some unusual ones at that. Never seen Venison on an Indian menu before and there beef wreng dang was amazing.
An excellent curry house, my favourite to visit within Portsmouth. This is a busy curry house so I would suggest booking ahead especially for meals at the weekend.
The curry selection, especially seafood, is very extensive and of great quality. Every meal I've had tastes very good, I enjoy trying something new each time I visit.
Service from the staff is always top notch; so friendly and helpful.
Honestly, they deserve Portsmouth's Best Indian Restaurant award.
Every single dish was delicious, and with the right amount. Maybe a bit oily, but still delicious.
The service was good and the restaurant is nice and small. Recommended 200%.
Amazing food, so much to choose from and excellent service. Have been a few times and enjoyed every time. Highly recommended.
All the staff are friendly, polite and professional. Rufus our waiter was very attentive, and helped with advise about our food selection. Being vegan we wanted assurance of our choices, we felt totally reassured with Rufus.
The food was delicious, and we had a great choice on the menu. We will go back, and we will recommend.
Thank you for a great meal 💚💙💚
Today we are celebrating our 10year wedding Anniversary and we tried this restaurant without knowing how will it taste like.. OMG... it's Amazing!!! Food is amazing! For me, I think its ONE of the BEST CURRY I've ever had. Portions are very generous, food is sssooooo tasty.. Amazingly tasty. Meats are so Tender.. I had the Venison and Lamb shank and my Husband had Chicken Madras... Staffs are well spoken and professional and on top of that they lit a candle for us! 😍😍😍 Thank you all.
Very tasty sukka King prawn curry, but only 3 King prawns... all dishes very fresh.
Lots of different sizes of copper pots.
Works visit again too try more dishes.
Definitely one of the best curry houses I've been to, not only in the Portsmouth area but also further afield. The menu has the usual staples but also offers the opportunity to try authentic dishes and chef's specialities.
Service is always friendly and attentive and I would not ever hesitate to recommend trying them out.
Great Indian restaurant, our table of 14 all had good food and will return.
I absolutely loved it! Great service and food. I’m booking again right now 😬❤️
The staff in this restaurant are absolutely fabulous! Nothing is too big or small.... big shout out to our wonderful waiter Fahim!! The tandoori trout was perfection on a plate.... all gone!
Nice Indian restaurant. Good service. The food tasted fresh but lacked a little spice and flavour for my tastes.
Staff are very welcoming and pleasant. Food and service was very good. Food was authentic and very tasty.
Found this gem by chance, went in for a curry and ended up having the grilled Sea Bass. Possibly the best fish meal I have eaten in years and well worth the exceptionally reasonable price. Staff are all excellent and attentive. I will definitely make an effort to visit again next time I am in Southsea. I can heartily recommend this to anyone who likes sea food.
