Chon Chola in Fareham

Ordered a takeaway for collection, got home and the chicken tikka main was smaller than the chicken tikka starter we’d ordered on a previous visit, called to check it was a main that we received and they said it was, no apology or explanation about small portion just hung up the phone, mint sauce was watery and flavourless, onion bahji were tasteless and chicken korma bland no coconut taste at all. Extremely disappointed, lack of quality taste and service considering restaurant was empty when I collected

Best service Food superbly presented

Worst Indian ever - no spices - ordered a tikka masala and a chicken curry - exactly the same - the peshwari Nan had no coconut - never again

I’ve being coming to the Chon Chola for longer than I care to remember (possibly from as early as 1986). This place serves up a great Indian meal and is highly recommended. The food is of a consistently good quality and well priced.

Can't give the food any stars as they refused to deliver to us. We live in the new development next to Peter Nash, which is basically opposite this take away. Their reason for refusing delivery was that our post code doesn't come up on Google Maps, as we're in a new build. We're celebrating and as we're at home with 3 small children decided to have a curry when they went to bed! We went to Spice Village on Barnes Lane in the end who have always provided fantastic service and food, when they were unable to locate my address previously they called me and asked for directions, which are very simple! And is also what all other delivery drivers do! Very disappointed and won't be attempting to order there again. He was very rude, abrupt and obviously didn't care for our custom.

Just had a Jalfazi delivered, lifting the container from the bag it felt very light, upon opening it was literally filled just under halfway, not even a child size portion, I feel as if I have been ripped off, I will definitely not be ordering from this place again... Less than half full, absolutely shocking.

Absolutely delicious meal served with efficient and friendly service, our second visit and another great meals

Food and service was excellent as always.

Excellent, tasty food, friendly staff, huge range of gluten free options, very impressed, will be back!

I ordered a takeaway for the first and last time. Prawn puri - loads of shell still on the prawns. Chicken Dansak - nothing like a dansak, it was like a korma with a few lentils thrown in, the consistency of baby food! Really poor, I can NOT recommend this Indian.

Nice Indian food with good taste Indian who came here and miss home food must go and enjoy

As always lovely staff fantastic meal highly recommend resturant.

Fantastic restaurant never had bad food from here would highly recommend visiting here for a sit in or a take away.

I've travelled around the world there is places spent just under 6-months in India. As my life of taste a lot of food and I look for quality in a food not volume not priced it's all about quality to start with. Tonight of ordered from this particular place through JUST EAT I've never ordered from them before and I felt compelled to give a review on the quality of overall experience I had add. When I looked at the menu was quite excited to be fair. My go-to dish testing Indian restaurant these days is a lamb dhansak. Lamb dhansak can go wrong a lot of ways in my book 2mashi or the lentils can be too hard the lamb could be tough or it could be undercooked and the wrong cut and too greasy and undercooked piece of shoulder isn't a great thing. I saw on the menu they had niramish I was sold for ordering from this place. It's a great side dish if prepared right. The food was ( is- I'm still eating but had to write my thoughts) amazing. The lamb is lean (or well renderd) and tender the Ballance of hot, sweet and sour is perfect for any pallet. A dhansak can be a step up in power for some people but I think they got this spot on. It's full but not overpowering with what tasted like a homemade sauce, and a great aroma. Food hot Rice perfect and fluffy with onion and egg Kiamish possible that it was one of the best i have eaten. It was piping hot, didn't have a layer of ghee that would fule an engine and the veg was perfectly aldente. Cauliflower. Still had a crunch and the beans were not too hard. Im gonna finish dinner without a phone in my hand. Thank you for reading. This was a genuinely brilliant meal. Best takeaway I have had for a LONG LONG time.

Good value, established curry house

Very rude staff! restaurant decor and food needs massively improving . Not an experience.i will be repeating again . Can’t see this business continuing much longer . I’m would like to see a new restaurant take over .

Great restaurant, great food, and really friendly staff. It's a 30 mile round trip but well worth it.

Food was amazing, service was too notch. Will definitely eat here again. 5* all day long

I had a fantastic curry here and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I will definitely return for another meal and i will recomend to friends 😀

We use Chon Chola as our local takeaway and really like it. The staff are friendly and nice. The food it hot and tasty. All good.

Had. Meal there with family, okish and as I wanted a meal when the family were away went back. 6:00 p.m. and empty but was told they didn’t serve single people. They obviously don’t need the trade. Won’t ever be back.

Bang on, Abdul is a gratious and friendly host and the food never disappoints

Poor food, Rude waiter. Will never go in there again.

I have used this Indian restaurant a fair few times in the 4 months since living in warsash despite some of the negative reviews but after last night being refused a light takeaway later on in the evening and being told that i can only order a full meal i will definitely not be using this restaurant ever again and will not be recommending it to anyone else. The attitude of some staff in there is not that good to but that will not effect me anymore.

Good n tasty food. Could do with background music as I was only diner n felt a bit on my own with no noise around.

Wish I had taken heed of the poor reviews! We visit the area regularly and thought we would give the local Indian restaurant a go, what a mistake! Food was bland and boring. Owners need to up their game if they want to retain local customers.

Enjoyed the food, didn't enjoy the food poisoning that followed - the worst I've ever had... I thought they'd improved on their 1 star food hygiene rating... Clearly not! The sooner this place closes down the better

My favourite restaurant. Well worth a visit.

Had our anniversary meal here and it was lovely as usual. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious

I'm not one to leave negative reviews but was very unimpressed - very slow service, group of 8 and 4 ended up very unwell after eating here. Waited an hour and a half for the main meal to be served to which two of the dishes were not ours. Waiters did not seem to be interested in serving us and were altogether unhelpful.

Not impressed....there's building work going on but restaurant is still open

Awful customer service if Abdul’s not there . The woman who owns the place is rude , ignorant and doesn’t deserve to run a restaurant . Give this dump a wide berth

Good friendl staff & service, excellent food with eat in or take away, easy parking.

Lovely little restaurant with great food and friendly staff

Very poor. Staff were really rude to members of the group. Food took a long time to arrive but to be fair it tasted ok.

The place needs a face lift but food ok

My partner and my self were very ill after eating there. Had to have day off from work. It was the only thing we had eaten the same all day as don't live together. So 100% from there. When I informed them he was very rude. WONT EVER GO BACK

Absolutely loved our meal, it was so tasty I can't wait to eat there again! Lovely people too and excellent service. Five stars from me!

We found this place 17 years ago and have loved every meal. We have tried other restaurants and take aways in the area, but always come back to Chon Chola

The food is really good. The customer service is excellent and they are very friendly. I have been a fairly regular visitor for about 4 years and have never been disappointed.

Good service. Food is as good as any other I'm the area.

Quality of lamb very poor in fact it was probably mutton also small dishes and expensive

Friendly inviting place. Not too good at looking after you in their restaurant but only because they don't have many employees. Amazing food and great service (lucky if you live local for takeaway)

Waiter told me a funny joke then i realize it was about me.

We ordered and went to collect. It was pricier than other local takeouts but we hoped the food would be good. My shaslik was packed in a nan bread bag and leaked all over my car on the way home. The food was cold on arrival and we only live a few minutes away. The food was bland, and had very little meat or prawns in the curry's (my wife's madras had 9 small prawns and a lot of unpleasant watery sauce. Its a large restaurant but was empty on a Friday evening and now I can see why. Next weeks curry will be ordered elsewhere.

This place has been going for over 30 years. Thus it must be doing something right. However, it could do with a revamp now.
