Chineham Indian Cuisine in Basingstoke and Deane

Probably one of my favourite restaurants when I visit Basingstoke.

Didn't get 10% off for collection but rang and now getting a free meal next time we go lovely curry hot and full of flavour

Really friendly people and lovely food. One of our regular places for take away and dine in.

The staff were very polite and the food was very good. We were the only table there, so we could not judge the atmosphere. It was remarkably hot in there, and it could do with some air con. Will go back.

Great food but we picked the wrong night to visit as all the staff were watching the football!! Choose your date to visit wisely!!

First time here for my nieces hen party food was amazing, service and staff was brilliant.

The food is amazing and the service is outstanding!

First visit in 35 years when first moved to basingstoke, ordered a take away, service was first class very polite and welcoming, food ordered was very well prepared and good quality. Will not be waiting another 35 years before going back. Thank you for a nice meal Steve

My family love the Chineham Indian. The decor is dated but the food and service is always great. Mahmood and the team are great!

Tasted like a supermarket ready meal, when paying that price don’t expect it to be so bland.

I’ve been coming here for a few years, and this is, by far, my favorite Indian restaurant in Basingstoke. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent, and the restaurant is often quiet, which I appreciate. The takeaway is also great, but as far as I know, you still have to collect the food yourself, which might be inconvenient for some.

Have ordered food here a few times and it's up there with the best I've had over 20 odd years. Went in for the first time last weekend and the staff were so lovely, friendly and efficient, and really liked the decor and feel of the place. Also love the easy parking, and full menu (and chocolate mints!).

Popped in to order a spur of the moment takeaway. Haven't been here for years, but the food was really lovely. Interior is a bit tired and shabby looking. Staff were friendly and helpful

The building is very dated , but the takeaway food is always excellent, loved the chicken green jalfrezi

Been going there on and off for 30 years now. It's not changed at all. Good food, good service.

I don't get to go to this restaurant anywhere near enough. The service is quiet but friendly and the food is superb. Also their prices are very fair. Lovely special treat.

Excellent as always I've known the owner around 30 years highly recommended

Great food, but the restaurant is very quiet. The staff tend to chat to customers they know and leave people who have not been to their restaurant alone, felt a bit unwelcome. Not at all attentive.

Best Curry i had for a long while.

Very friendly staff who were also very helpful with suggestions of what to order. Easy to find. Highly recommended

First time ordering and I'll be ordering again. I had a tikka masala, it was pure heaven, tastes as how exactly it's meant to taste, a little spice, but not too spicy, the ones I've had before at other places were so mild, but not this one - just right! My daughter had the biryani and she said it's the best she has ever had, the rest of the family even agreed it was so so good. We have had countless different Indian takeaways and I must say, this place is far far the best I've had. Definitely coming back for more next time we all fancy an Indian takeaway!

Updated Jan 2023: Visited again with some friends, was slightly concerned about the recent negative reviews but safe to say it was still excellent food and we all enjoyed our meals. Price wise, still reasonable compared to a few others but worth it none the less. Previous 2019: From the outside, the place looks a bit worn down...to put it nicely...BUT it's made up for by the great food and friendly staff! First time here and was more than happy with the quality of the food, the portion size and cost. I'd be happy to return again!

We have eaten at the Chineham Indian many times and always enjoy the cuisine and friendly service. Recommend it highly.

Absolutely rubbish they must have a new chef again worst meal I've ever had . I would not recommend this place . The problem with this restaurant is when they get a good chef they have no idea how to keep them . I've never eaten at a restaurant because of the restaurant it's always been because of the food and its all about the chef not the management. This Restaurant has no idea about good food . Save your money. The only people happy to eat at this restaurant are people who have no idea what good food should taste like . 0 out of 10 for food unbelievable awful.

Food is lovely. Staff are friendly

Staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. Will definitely be going back!

Nice food in the restaurant but was charged £8.50 for 2 glasses of warm bottled lemonade!!! also 2 poppadoms came to £3.60! Need to sort their prices out. Will go elsewhere next time as drinks prices are far too much!

Tried this place purely for somewhere different. The staff were polite and the food was OK. It would have been nice to see some Paneer dishes offered as main courses, rather than just vegetables. I personally would not like to be in this restaurant when it is full, as it is not that big for the amount of tables and chairs that they have. Possibly could do with a bit of modernisation. But, as I said, it was OK and plenty of parking.

Good food however charged us 8.50 for two orange juices - what a rip off, because they are quiet - I recommend tuli or towers great food without ripping customers off on drinks!

Was very good .. service very quick always a warm welcome from owner and team. John N

Been eating here for years, never had a bad meal. Good portion size with plenty of meat and right amount of sauce. Spice level is bang on

Celebrated my son's 23rd birthday here last night. First class meal and the service was second to none. I don't normally leave reviews but these guys really deserve a positive shout. This has been my go to Indian restaurant since the 1980's and I don't intend changing any time soon!

Little bit of decorating needed and the fish needs a clean out, bit cramped too, but the food is good

Allways loved this place from the 1st week we moved to chineham that was nearly 11 years ago food is amazing and service is super highly recomend going..

Lovely food..friendly staff highly recommended

Always great. Keep supporting our local businesses

There is a poor little fish kept in an incredibly small tank on display, only able to swim for a second before having to turn around. Seems unnecessary and cruel =(

Cracking service and amazing variety of different dishes. Would recommend to anyone

Best food in Basingstoke by far flavour heat and atmosphere 10 out of 10 ,but the food is out of this world. I would recommend this place to anyone. Those who know me yo need to taste this place

Went for a family meal Friday evening, the food was amazing, the service was spot on. Staff very friendly. Kodoo Duck I requested to be mild and they tried that just for me. Highly recommended. If you’re looking for a delicious Indian meal look no further. 10/10 love it!!!

Absolutely delicious!!! Our first time going to Chineham Indian Cuisine this evening and we went in to have a drink whilst we waited for our order. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, and let us finish our drinks before bringing out our takeaway order. Got home and the food was piping hot and so flavourful. We won't be going anywhere else for an Indian dish now! Thank you, team!

Nice Indian restaurant with such tasty and fresh food. Highly recommended 👌🏼

Ok if you like dried spices, tinned veg and 50% ghee in every meal.

Great value, portions size was really good and the food taste great!

Amazing Food, Pleasant staff Quick professional service Clean, Definitely will be returning 💯

First time visiting this restaurant today for takeaway and it was amazing my children said best korma ever

Delicious curries and very quick delivery. Pashwari naan was excellent.

Got a takeaway last night and the food was yummy as always Cheers guys

I have been visiting this restaurant for about 20 years and the food is always excellent. Went for a meal last week and it is sad that covid is affecting business so much that there was only us and one other family on a Saturday evening although takeaway and delivery business seemed busy. Would have given 5 stars but feel a little agrieved by the charge of over £15 on the bill for drinks (2 bottles of water) and 4 poppadoms. Maybe i am being unjust in challenging their need to make ends meet in these difficult times but personally i would rather see higher prices upfront than a stealth charge on unlisted menu items.

First time I"ve ordered from this Indian and was definitely not disappointed. Best Indian I"ve ever tasted on my travels. Would definitely recommend, absolutely amazing!!

Lovely, friendly atmosphere Delicious food..... generous amount of meat.... It appeared to me that the dishes were individually cooked....... Would definitely recommend....

traditional style interior, ignore outside, friendly helpful staff, above all freshly cooked amazing food, will cater for allergens, would definitely recommend

Great food and friendly service

my 1st experience of Chineham Indian Cuisine and i have to say i'm NOT disappointed. Ordered for collection and food was ready exactly when they said it would be.. Man on the door on arrival was very polite and the manager even came over to...

Nice place, good atmosphere with plenty of parking. Food delicious reasonably priced

Good Indian cuisine to enjoy.. Plenty parking space..

Have been using this restaurant for about 15 years now lovely food, delivery is fast. Always good food.

Food was nice, but customer service was poor. The restaurant also seems to be a bit run down, old mattresses out by the car park

Dropped in for a cheeky curry, chicken pathia (L) and a chicken Dhansak (R). Both good portions and we'll prepared. The pathia was red hot, in a good way. Whilst the Dhansak was so so. I did have a keema naan aswell which was spot on. Verdict: Recommended 😎

Very good customer service and the food was delicious. Only had a takeaway but will visit restaurant at some point. Would recommend

We are regular takeaway users of this great curry house. It always exceeds our expectations with delicious food and friendly service. The fish curry is a particular favourite of mine. Last night was no exception. Our friend was on his annual visit from America and...

Had nothing but amazing experiences visiting and deliveries. Best indian restaurant around with the most reasonable prices.

Lovely curry, I cannot find a better ceylon any where else in Basingstoke. Service great, kids loved it, my boy is 7 and he loves the korma. Happy all round.

We order good for collection from here all the time. Easy to order on the phone, collection from 20 minutes. The staff are helpful and friendly. The food is delicious and never had a bad dish. Highly recommend

Lovely food. Lots to choose from. My favourite Indian restaurant to go to

Love this place...food always good and very accomadating to our vegan.

Best Indian food I've ever had! Absolutely lovely staff, very friendly and polite, great prices and speedy service. Great for takeaway. The chicken korma was delicious and I loved the pickled lemon- my favourite.

Ordered a takeaway from here for the first time and I was very happy with the quality of the food. Great service and quick delivery 👌

This is by far the best Indian we've had! We ordered a few different currys which was delivered very quickly. Upon receiving the food it smelt amazing and was very hot. Service was excellent, the person on the phone helped me decide with what to...

Dry and overcooked food. From an Indian restaurant you should expect better than M&S £10 deal, better than Lloyd Grossman jar and better than the local Chinese chicken curry but not here! Insatead I received a dry overcooked bland curry from my local Chineham Indian...

Ordered a take away from here. Reasonable price and good food.

Food was lovely service is second to none had a great evening

Food was half hour late! Was Luke warm, chicken was dry! Cheese rubbery no taste, naan bread falling apart & dry! Me & hubby bad guts after eating didn't eat most of the meal! Very disappointed usually this Indian is delicious, maybe different chef?!

Exceptionally friendly helpful staff. Great atmosphere. Lovely little Indian. Superb food. Amazing prices.

If you want to feel really special visit Chineham Indian. The service is second to none, the waiters are very knowledgable and helpful with explaining the dishes. The food was excellent and the different spices shone through as were explained. Mutton was very tender and...

Average food, good service, decent prices. The food is not Indian cuisine, more Bangladeshi than anything else. Nonetheless, it's okay considering the prices they charge. The decor is still stuck in the mid 70's and can do with a tidy up. I'd order from here again but only because this place is the best out of a bad bunch. No complaints about the service.

Bloody excellent food and service !!!

Always fantastic food and service with a smile

Great hospitality and excellent food.

We live nearby so often pick up take aways - have also eaten in numerous times . Food is good and fresh . Used to be extremely popular so not sure why but whenever we have eaten it has been really quiet . Anyway if...

The service is excellent, the staff are so warm and kind. The food is so tasty, I would say it is the best tasting Indian in Basingstoke and that's major, coming from an Indian 😊

A friendly local curry house, great selection at a reasonable price.

The best restaurant we have found in Basingstoke, both in terms of quality of food and service. It's fantastic every time we go.

Excellent service always perfect food xx

Always a pleasure to eat here. Highly recommended.

Good food - friendly service - bit slow at busy times

Service was lacklustre, waiters drifting around like they was bored. Food was very average both in presentation but mostly in taste. Chose a dessert that arrived frozen solid, I chipped at it mockingly with my spoon to the waiter who just stared at me momentarily then walked off. I had to call him back to have it removed. Overall quite disappointed.

Lovely food, good service, definitely go back

Another lovely meal at the Chineham Indian..excellent service. Very child friendly! Thanks.

Absolutely disgusting service! Ordered a prawn dish and got some fake chicken pieces instead! It was a pulp type white meat that was undeniable chicken meat. Told management and instead of trying to fix the problem, he said the meat was prawns! Unbelievable! I said I don’t mind paying for this dish, but you have to charge me for chicken dish instead of prawns. The management even brought out his chef and he too said it was prawns (after some debate in his native language)! I even question if the chef is an illegal immigrant. Anyway the decor is old and dirty, stinks like someone’s done a number too! You have to mask out the smell by getting yourself drunk. The carpets are like old rags and your shoes feels like superglued onto the floor. Totally disgusting place, management and food! If I can give zero star, I would!

Rude and lazy service, food was decent however a little bit over cooked. Decore seems cheap and dated both inside and out.

Food is generally good and the staff friendly the decor is somewhat dated but always looks clean as does the table wear

I eat in, they deliver to my house. Great food and wonderful service. Highly recommended. This place is as authentic as it gets.

Horrible service. Food is not authentic indian.

Food was dire, customer service dire, and no refund provided (not even a partial refund offered). I was promised a call back on the same evening regarding my complaint, which never occurred. According to Chineham Indian Cuisine, you must accept a replacement meal before receiving...

Whilst the food is on the whole ok, the service and attitude is really poor. I use this restaurant for take aways and over the past few months, my orders have not been correct and have been regularly over charged. Earlier this evening, I collected...

This place is TINY all the tables are very close together, if you’re a person who likes arm room and not being around very close to a bunch of strangers then this place is definitely not for you. We got lucky as the night we...

Having once lived in the area it was a regular place to eat but no longer so and things haven't changed much. The decor is a little smarter but still dated which can be excused as the food is as good as it ever was....

I booked here for a work meal following a recommendation and was not disappointed. The food was great and they were happy to make me a vegetable Naga which wasn't on the menu. If you enjoy good food and aren't bothered by the dated decor...

big up my boi Raj, korma is weak tho
