We have loved this restaurant for over 20 years , Babual was a true restaurateur, and the staff , who are stil with the new owners are friendly and truly welcoming. We have eaten in once and ordered out once in the last month and it is not the same , the food has changed not sure how exactly but the taste is different and the reaction of my stomach not good shortly after both meals , I had the same dish on both occasions. But the biggest problem was that we ordered over the phone only to be phoned back to be told prices had gone up and our meal went from £55 to £65 and then when I questioned this and looked online my order would only have been £43 if I had placed it online , a figure was then plucked from the air as the amount payable , I firmly agreed to pay the original price only . So it’s the end of an era for us to not use /eat at this restaurant as we have done twice a month . Such a shame for us locals that a business that Babual and his team had worked so hard for has gone down hill so quickly with no dialogue from the current owners .

Ended up going for a curry after a stag night at about 12 ish when most other places were shutting. Place could do with a makeover, but whatever. Staff were super. Food was lovely and served food fast. Also allowed to take in your own drinks. I wasn’t drinking so was only sober one out of all of us, and I thought food was very good. Will definitely go back and use for my takeaways

We have been here many times over the years and have never been disappointed. This time was even better. We did not recognise any of the staff so maybe it has changed hands. The staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. I had the duck chilli masala. Lots of meat in a rich, spicy sauce. Delicious! Gabrielle, my wife, had the lamb mint gosht which was very tasty. Overall an excellent visit. We took our own wine saving us some expense.

Food was okay only. Service was pathetic. One server was good and friendly but the other one was not a good one not friendly or courteous at all. Out of three tables that we had only two were having cutlery the third table persons had to help themselves. Menu pricing outside and pricing inside is different. Our only complaint, about not fizzy Coke was not taken in a healthy manner and store commented that we had tantrums. Will not recommend this place to anyone as they do not like to serve in a nice manner.

I was hungry and thirsty after a tiresome walk in my first visit to Portsmouth, I decided to drop by this restaurant. the staff is very rude. I decided to order some snacks and tea but staff became rude. he bluffed me by saying I ought to order something big since the restaurant is mostly booked and such a cheap order would not be entertained (although half of it was empty). to make matters worst the staff came on to my table and removed every bits of glasses from my table as a gesture of frustration (since my order made them angry). I don't recommend this ever. never ever will I again come to this restaurant if I happen to come to Portsmouth again.

Me and a group of friends went here tonight for my friends birthday, when we arrived all seemed well until our food started to arrive. At first there was a black hair in my friends chips so we called a member of staff over and informed him of the hair, he then proceeded to take the plate of chips handle all them with his bare hands and take the hair out and accuse us of lying. We ignored that and waited for the rest of our food, halfway through eating my friend found a chunk of raw chicken in his curry, once the staff were informed they just told us to chuck it into the bin and then once we expressed we didn’t think it was acceptable they then got confrontational and started arguing and shouting at us in the middle of the restaurant infront of all the other customers, if I could give them 0 stars I would.

Been going here for years and was so disappointed last night. Booked ages ago for 6 and asked for window table. On arrival we were told we could only have this table for a limited time as someone else wanted it. As we were meeting friends for a catch up agreed to move and we were put on a table at back of restaurant. Not what we were expecting. Food was average and surly waiter. Owner who always comes over to say hello was not around otherwise would have told him. Sadly not retuning here again.

Upon arrival I really liked the ambience and the staff were so helpful. However the food was sadly disappointing. The actual curry itself was good but I didn't like the chicken. It was either thigh meat which I never ever eat or something wasn't quite right. It was very rubbery. Also the garlic naan bread didn't have any garlic in it and I thought it was a plain naan at first. I'm sorry to say I didn't enjoy my meal. Staff were wonderful though.

Came to dine in this evening, around 7 pm with 4 adults and a child. There was a lot of empty spaces in the restaurant but still we had been offered a very tiny space. We couldn’t sit properly and finding no space kept our bags on the floor. Later we had been told to take our jackets n bags on our laps because they needed more spaces!!! Then we left the restaurant and had our dinner in Desi old indian cafe. We had our food and took with us for our other friends in less than £100!

However, the worst part of my visit was the staff. They were unprofessional and inattentive. To top it off, I found plastic in my food which was unacceptable. Moreover, I was shocked to witness a fight between the staff and other guests who were also disappointed with their experience.

It’s was worst experience in the town. I found a mosquito inside my tandoori roti. When I complained to the staff, they started screaming and did not agree that I found it in the tandoori roti. When I complained to the manager, all staff came together and said that I did not want to pay the bill, which is why I was making such claims. The restaurant is Bangladeshi-owned, and the staff are really bad at everything.

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)!

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

July 2022 update - still as good if not better than as below: Always a superb takeaway (eat-in equally as good). Please do try the "front of house" curry selection. Cooked more to a traditional style than the standard menu. Limited amounts, so be early as it is amazing.. if you are happy to pick out a few whole spices to experience the true flavours of Indian cooking (cheaper than the set menus too). Sag Aloo side dish is also probably one of the best in the town to my pallet. Customer service.....spot on, nice welcome, great service and a cheery good bye when you leave, even if you are a little tipsy! Highly recommended as one of the best value/quality curry houses on Albert Road in Southsea.

Don’t waste your time and money. This was truly the worst restaurant I have ever had the misfortune to enter. Cutlery was not clean and when they took the starter (which I am not sure what it contained) away the cutlery I had used was dumped back on the table for the next course! Mains came and this was supposed to be chicken but I’m still unsure what meat it was. The best thing I can hope for is that it was ‘chopped and shaped’ chicken as it was very strange so I only ate a couple of pieces then just had the sauce with an odd piece of raw cucumber and tomato that had been bunged on top. The temperature of everything indicated it had probably been microwaved and the naan was dried out round the edges. Was charged £50 for utter rubbish. So stunned that I haven’t been able to think how to review this until the next day.

Food was ok, really liked the Garlic Nan and mixed balti curry, it was nicely cooked and less spicy. They need to upgrade the decor, it was too dark inside and bit smelly if one sits downstairs. Other items that we ordered for starter was not as expected , Aalu Chat was completely dry and we can not actually say its Chat, they need to be aware of how indian chat is made, the onion bhajji was soggy and and chutney was tasteless. Bit disappointing. Its completely based on my experience, might be they are good in other dishes. However, The staff was quick and helpful with the order and other requests.

Party of 4, dinner on a Tuesday night at 1930. Nice house(building), front has a quiet bar, nice decor, no customers at 1930. We had reservations, were immediately seated and asked for drink preferences. Mixed drinks were good, beer selection ok. We had 3 small plate appetizers, shared among 4. Very good. 4 dinner selections, 1 came with rice, others had rice ala carte. Food presentation was excellent. Portions largish, and very good quality. Nice dessert selection, mostly ice creams or gelato. Bill was £190. Service charge 10.5%. We ate and drank well. Food and service was very good. I would give a 4.5 rating if possible, (I'm a very hard grader)
