I love this little curry house. We have been going for years and the food is always tasty.
I’m busy periods the food is always served in ample time and comes out piping hot.
It’s a BYOB establishment which makes it a little cheaper, and is a lovely touch. They do have a bar with a selection of drinks,
I would just check your receipt when leaving as twice now when we have gone they have forgotten to give us a dish we ordered only to be charged for it. Easily rectify-able and the staff were friendly enough to remove the items in question.
Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area
I love this place. We called up about 30 mins before we wanted to come with a group of 18 and they found a place for us to sit downstairs. The service is relatively quick and is very good. The food is really lovely. BYOB. What more could you want?
Food lovely, service from older men were polite but would've been nice if the young lad serving would smile now & again tho & a thank you occasionly wouldn't go amiss !
A Portsmouth institution. On moving to Portsmouth in the 90s I heard stories of "Bob's" - the curry house that offered famed and reliably delicious dishes (e.g. the meat nawabi) whilst being relatively inexpensive, and even allowed you to take your own beer. Naturally it gained favour with a younger more frugal crowd. 25 years on a new generations have adopted the place and it's still as popular as ever (although the nawabi recipe is different now)!
thought i'd left a review or maybe it was on tripadvisor. yep few weeks ago we slipped in last minute, they kept the place open for us, only people in. asked for minimal spice and mate was fretting it might have chilli in but it was mild and delicious, beautifully prepared. staff were charming, i'd definitely go back again soon!
I only ever had takeaway but it was always good, staff are friendly and prices are very reasonable
Fantastic meal. So fresh and full of flavour. It never disappoints. Great value and rapid service.
Update Oct 23. : Still great food and service. The problem is so many people know now, so book your table! However, we were happy to wait 20 mins for a table. Definitely worth waiting for. No photos again, we just scoffed it 😅
This place was one of my favourite places years ago. Me and my partner went last night . The staff was brilliant. The food was excellent again. Made us feel very welcome.we won't leave it so so long next time. Thanks for a lovely evening.
Love the Balti house, great food & bring your own drinks
Love this place! Been going there for years. The staff are lovely. Service is great. Food is really good. Just love it here! You can even take your own drinks with you! 🥂🍻🍷
Have visited over the years with family and work. Good venue for groups. Bring your own alcohol. Very nice tikka korma and dhansak. Service can suffer a little when busy.
The food was really good. The chicken tikka masala seemed a bit bland, but I was there with friends and all of their dishes were really good. So it's a mater of preference I guess, don't expect anything spicy from the chicken tikka masala.
As we've become to expect, great food, never been dissapointed in taste portion size always delighted.
Friendly stuff with a variety of options for vegans. I usually take lamb karahi cooked with vegetables. The meat is good, but not fully cooked sometimes.
Friendly. Good for groups. Great food with lots of choices. Reasonable prices. You can bring your own wine.
Good vegetarian options. Child friendly. Best to book ahead for groups. Local parking at weekends can take a while.
Came here for my husband’s birthday and the food was amazing! The waiters were really nice and very friendly. The food was really perfect, the spices and flavours weren’t too strong or too mild ... just perfect ... and the kids really enjoyed it as well and had a nice little chat with the waiter 🙂
Good atmosphere, good food.
This is the place to go for a night of drinking.
They allow you to bring your own drinks in, both alcoholic and none.
It can be noisy at times but that is not the staff or owners fault.
I have to drop one star here because there is no security this place and homeless people hang around outside, I imagine if a fight was to break out it would take a while for it to resolve.
Highly recommended.
