Haven eaten at the restaurant a few times and previously had a delivery , this evening I tried to order another takeaway only to be told the delivery driver doesn’t want to deliver to the PO13 Peel Common Area because its to far away from lee! From my house to the restaurant, it is 1.6 miles and well within the 3 mile radius on the menu but I would be happy to pay a charge!! So if you live in Gosport don't bother ordering we are to far away for the driver!!!

We decided to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary here and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our server was excellent and even though I ordered chicken tikka masala, he advised me to try another one from the menu. I agreed and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The chicken jhool was tasty, hot and wonderfully prepared. Nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend this restaurant height enough - you will not be disappointed.

Had a joint anniversary meal here with friends on Friday 30th. Never been before. Was shocked at the speed they took our orders. Literally took our plates as we were eating the last pieces. Then the next course appeared. It was all very rushed by all the staff. Should have been an enjoyable relaxed atmosphere. The food was absolutely lovely but would have just liked to have taken more time eating it without pressure

Awful experience tonight, have been going with my family for years. This time was a quiet night with two of my friends and was treated completely different. Things were taken off my plate before I had finished eaten my meal, they even failed to box up what we asked for and took 20 minutes to bring our bill. I understand busy times but for a small restaurant with multiple staff working this is unacceptable. I will not be returning.

Had the Lamb Naga and mushroom rice, my wife had Tandoori King Prawns. They were both excellent. The Naga though hot still had lots of flavour and plenty of lamb. The mushroom rice had proper half mushrooms in the fried rice not just tiny pieces. My wife's Tandoori came out on a sizzling skillet and smelled delicious. She says it's the best Indian food she has had and I have to agree the food was excellent. We come from the Winchester area and there is nothing to compare and I have tried them all. We will be going back.

We arrived at 7pm as per our booking, service was awfully slow. Staff forgot drinks and had to be reminded. Food was pretty good but I had just been to the New Bengal on Thursday and its way superior in all ways in my opinion. It seemed like the staff didn't want us to be there and paid more attention to the other tables in there that arrived after. Maybe they are regulars. I thought it was actually expensive for what is was £195 for 6 of us, scrawled on a piece of paper. Would never bother coming back here. If the owners read this though put more effort in as you're a customer service based business.

Called at 90 minutes to check it was coming, told it was on way. 1hr 45minutes later... no food. Called again, told 5 mins. No apology. Still was not here after 5 minutes.

Very lovely food but misleadingly expensive. There's no menu outside and no real menu online. The charge a fair amount more for dine -in which is to be expected but there's no way of knowing how much. Me and my girlfriend ordered: - one portion of onion baji each - one chicken balti that came with a naan - 2 poppadoms - 2 Malabowith coke - 1 coke From a takeaway Indian this would usually cost around £20 or less. To dine in it cost us just over £50. The dine in experience was nice with everything you'd expect from an Indian dine in but unfortunately the customer service was just good. For £50 and bring the only people in the restaurant we we're expecting the high end of hospitality but unfortunately all we got was standard politeness and barely a smile. The waiters were always around for us to call on though which is nice. Ultimately, Blue Cobra is just mediocre and you're better off just going to lee tandori.

We pre-booked for dinner here as due to Covid-19 the restaurant was running at reduced capacity. Upon arrival we were shown promptly to our table and the service throughout the meal was very good. The starter I had, mixed kebabs, was probably the best starter I have ever had in an 'Indian' restaurant. It was served as a 'sizzler' and was sooo tasty! The remainder of the meal also lived up to expectations - not too much quantity, but good food nicely presented. A lovely - and unexpected - touch at the end of the meal was a complimentary small liqueur. Well done to the team at Blue Cobra for a really memorable and enjoyable dinner.

We were intending to book a table at the restaurant but going by the previous review regarding the lack of Covid 19 measures it's probably good that we didn't. However the takeaway that we had delivered instead was excellent. I was advised that it would be about 45 minutes and it arrived just shortly after this time, the food was piping hot, everything was as ordered plus free poppadoms and onion salad. The portions are really good and the quality of the food was excellent. We both ordered Tava chicken, one with pulao rice and one with mushroom rice plus garlic naan and every dish was well cooked and extremely tasty. We have had takeaways from other restaurants in the area in the past but, having has several meals from Blue Cobra, we certainly wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had a great vegetable balti here just over a week ago (end August). the food was really delicious and when I entered the restaurant, there were only two other tables occupied. But the waiters were not wearing visors or masks, there were no perspex screens between the tables, which were barely 2 m apart, and gradually they let more and more people in until this quite small space was full to bursting with diners, plus others coming in to collect takeaways, not always wearing masks either. . I got nervous, finished my meal quickly, and left. I was not impressed. I suspect the restaurant was not even within the law regarding social distancing, and other covid measures. The food is good, but the whole place needs to heed the covid restrictions.

We normally eat in this restaurant on a regular basis but due to the Covid lockdown we had a takeaway delivered instead. We were told it would be 45 minutes and it was delivered to our door in exactly 45 minutes. The driver had a mask on, left the food by the front door, rang the bell and retreated until I came out, acknowledged me and drove off adhering perfectly to lockdown procedures. The order was exactly as we had requested, food was piping hot and just as tasty as eating in the restaurant. Until we can visit the restaurant once more we would definitely use the delivery service again.

A lot of my friends choose to travel to us to come here for dinners. Very shocked by any bad reviews because I’ve never heard a bad word said about here. Only thing I would say is unfortunately you only really hear the bad and people don’t tend to spent time on writing good reviews, so personally I would advise to ignore all bad reviews.

We were a party of six, visiting the area for the weekend. We booked a table at this restaurant, based on Tripadvisor ratings.It was a Saturday night and understandably busy. But, to keep asking to be served throughout the evening wore a bit thin.Don't get me wrong, the staff were charming and the food was great. I just get a bit grumpy when I'm sat there for 10 to 15 minutes and nobody has come to take a first drinks order. I then get a little grumpier when the waiter comes to take our food order and we have to tell him we are still waiting for our drinks.Overall: Lovely food, just need to sharpen a few things up.

First time we have been t this restaurant due to bad reviews from friends. We were the only people in there for most of the evening with two ladies and a family of 4 coming and going during the evening. we were not offered anything other than water to drink at any time and the waiter started clearing our plates and setting up for our main before one of our party had finished the starter. when asked if he could wait till we were all finished he was quite rude. After that we were virtually ignored and were not offered a sweet or coffee so we left earlier than we might have done and are not likely to go back.

I was concerned as I like my curry medium to hot, on assurances from the waiter that it was medium I ordered. The meal arrived promptly and whilst the meal was good , it was not to a strength that I preferred. A nice touch was a complementary drink with a after eight chocolate.
