Great takeaway. We had the taster menus both were delicious. Only point is something leaked in the bag and it went everywhere. My jeans are stained with saffron as had the takeaway on my knee in the car on the way back as are the table mats that the pots went on.

Decided to edit this review after being in Swanage for a little over 2yrs now.
This is still 5 stars and one of my personal favourites.
It’s a small restaurant with limited seating and is mainly a takeout.
There are three Indian restaurants in Swanage of which Nihal does the best curry, but all three are decent and have their own strengths and weaknesses. Masala tends to do smaller portions, but is very central to the beach. Golden Bengal is generally just nice and is easier for people staying at the back of town.
Nihal is superior to the other two in flavour, you get a good selection on there menu. I personally love the chef specials, really tasty dishes and if you like it hotter, just ask and they are accommodating.
The one thing people need to be aware of is they prefer payment in cash, they have started taking cards though if you want a discount take cash in with you.
This is my personal go to take out when in Swanage, over all other cuisines on offer. Yes there are better curry houses out there, but not in Swanage.

Magnificent food at this restaurant. If you want to eat in, book well in advance as very limited on seating space. If you do get a table, take your own drink. The amount of takeaway orders that go out while you eat is a good indication of how good this restaurant is. We have returned to this place because it’s so good. Check it out!
