Eastern Nights in Southampton

Great food and service with good prices. Decor inside is a bit tired and dated but apart from that would recommend.

Poor food quality dull and uninspiring tbh made better curries myself

I’m writing this review after three weeks since I visited the restaurant. If you’re craving for best Tandoori dishes, this is the place. Probably entire of England. Phenomena taste! Can’t forget the service of the chef/owner of the restaurant such a gentleman walked out to serve for us with so much care and passion. The atmosphere wasn’t pleasing but food was simply superb.

Food is delicious and service friendly

New in the neighbourhood and will definitely be using them again

I ordered a Madras Chicken and a Chicken Tikka Masala both with Pilau Rice, both Currys were tasteless and the rice was swimming in water. Will never be going there again.

Can't rate atmosphere as I have only ordered online. However I ordered the Special Main Thali (look for it under Maharaja's choice) at £30. I tell you what I really enjoyed that. Of course some of the curries were substituted but I put that down to probably having ran out (I mean I ordered on a Saturday night so its expected). The thing for me is that this deal gives four curries and three vegetable dishes (chickpeas, mushroom Bhaji, sag bhaji). so rather than be stuck with one flavour you can have a bit of each. very good!

If i could give this place no stars i would. Absolutely the most disgusting indian i have ever received. Food was inedible and i wouldnt even feed it to my dog! The curry was lumpy and curdled and had the consistency of water. All currys tasted the same (like curry powder in water), the meat (IF YOU CAN EVEN CALL IT MEAT) resembles more like pigeon than anything. DO NOT ORDER!!!! This place needs to be investigated by the food hygiene authorities because this was rancid!!!!

Had cold mixed kebab, the chicken tikka leg was a joke, no meat just bone.won’t be ordering again

I had the mixed kebab and chicken tikka starters. Delivered fast but the Chicken in the mixed kebab was cold and the chicken leg was a joke, no chicken, just bone. I have had meals in the restaurant a while ago and it was nice, the takeaway was not

Service at restaurant is very bad Please void .

Me and my partner have been ordering from here for the last year or so. I previously would have rated 5 stars as it is reasonably priced and the flavours from the curry and the mango chutney in particular, are lovely! However, the last two times we have ordered, the food has been cold and we have had to microwave it for it to be edible. Such a shame as I really enjoy this place and we order every 2 weeks roughly. However, unless I get a reasonable response I think we will be trying to find a new local Indian takeaway.

Ordered a chicken tikka masala takeaway, it was awful. It was like it had been watered down. Won’t be back!

We eat at this restaurant a few times a year and have been doing so for quite a few years now. I have to say we are always impressed with the variety and quality of the food and not forgetting how reasonably it is priced. The staff are friendly and polite, nothing is ever to much effort. Great local Indian restaurant which in my opinion is worth a visit.

We ordered a lamb rogan gosh from Eastern Nights. It should have looked like the photo on the left but instead we got the photo on the right! Very disappointed. We complained and were told the manager was the chef and we could have another dish. We wanted a refund instead of another dish made by the same chef!

Delivery - prompt Poppadoms - excellent Garlic Naan - excellent Mixed Biriani - flavour good but very little meat to be found Veg curry - excellent For price paid would have definitely expected more meat/prawns

Went here recently and the food was fantastic. Great service and reasonably priced . Staff friendly and service was quick . Will be returning !

Me and my boyfriend went here recently and we was really impressed with the service and the food was fantastic. I would recommend to anyone who wants a nice sit down Indian meal.

First time ordering. Food arrived 10 minutes earlier than expected and was piping hot. Great flavours and will definitely order again. Highly recommend.

Visited 29.5.2022. We're at Holiday Inn Express - food it's NOT HALAL FRIENDLY. Paultron Park. Restaurant - YES HALAL SERVED! We came here because it's the only restaurant in a 5/8 mins drive and easily accessible to go out to eat. That's about the 2nd decent thing I can say about the restaurant location. There are other restaurants around but is only take away. It's the ONLY seating DiNE- INN restaurant closest. Plus suitable for quick much. Food - it's good. Take reasonable but no particular signature strike here. The portion be very small compared that you get in London. See images below. Little one made mess - sincere apologies. Atmosphere - DEAD. There's no spark Car park - very little where you can find really. Host - Hospitable and somewhat welcoming. There is no VIBE. Child friendly - not so much and NO child seat. Decorative - OLD and Dead, haunted feeling. Sofa smelled and bad air came from when seated and cob webs seen on the side it's not something I would go back to. They sell alcohol. Table rocked. Hand wash at entrance, really good to see. Price - Alittle overpriced especially what you get in portion.

Ordered via "Just Eat" website. Phoned for an order update after delivery window had been missed by 30 minutes and was told "the driver had just left". Gave it another half hour and phoned again - the driver had left "about 15 minutes ago". Cancelled the order. 10 minutes later their driver turns up. Advised their driver the order was cancelled and not wanted now as a refund had been received (which was only done when I threatened to raise complaints with Just Eat and PayPal). Had a cheese sandwich instead... Very nice.

Just collected the menu to order takeaway from here the server stated all curry's are now 2 pound more then on menu I asked why, he said prices were put up a year ago, so why still put your menus up on your counter, even website states old price, no surprise there empty,

Disgusting service. Ordered food to be delivered between 7.25 and 7.55. At 8pm I called to ask where the order was to be told it was out for delivery. 8.40 still not here, we were lied to on more than once occasion. Had to get a refund from just eat. Delivery man has just arrived at 9.10 with cold food! Sent him away and explained it wasn't good enough.

We visited this place last night, the food was nice and we would possibly want to come back if it wasn’t for two things: the waiter brought the bill unasked after the main meal and when asked for the dessert menu, became dismissive and said they didn’t have many options available! Finally brought it though... Second, he charged £3.40 for a glass of lemonade that on the menu is £1.60. When asked, said there is only one price on the menu but he gave us a larger glass (??). When taking the order for drinks he didn’t mention other options so it looks like an overcharge. We won’t be going back.

Brilliant food and a very friendly service. I had a chicken tikka jalfrezi and it was lovely. A bit hitter than my previous jalfrezi experience, but still very nice indeed. Big chunky and meaty chicken portions in the dish. Very impressed.

Good food great prices and friendly staff

Always had a lovely meal there certainly recommend

One of the best take aways around in this pandemic.

Ordered food tonight, 28th Dec, got family coming around so ordered a lot of food. Waited for 90 mins, ring the place, no answer. Then we find out the place is closed. Now eating from another Indian, 2 hours later. Such a shame as we love this place and the food is always good

Wow what can I say, brilliant food and the service was excellent. Really good value with big portions. Definitely will be back

Really gone down hill here, curry used to be very good but last one was completely bland with raw onion

This place has really gone down hill and I am disappointed. We opted to pick up a take away that took over a hour to be ready! Once we got the order home we discovered there was a main meal missing. The bread was over cooked and we we left feeling what a waste of money! Never again!

Bombay Potatoes consisted of 5 pieces of potatoe in a runny unflavoured sauce. Masala was runny and no flavour. Glad we didnt eat in as would of sent it all back.

Just got in from a lovely family meal, food was excellent and service was outstanding,

Worst Indian takeaway ever!!! Chicken tikka masala was like spice water, the 1 star was only so I could write this review. What a shame.

Sloppy curry, no atmosphere.Wont go back .

Hello, I spent £35 with you tonight . 1, The delivery was very late I had to phone you 2/3:times and when the delivery man eventually turned up I was outside my house looking for him he came over handed me the meal bag . I said to him I would imagine it’s cold now, He said yeah most probably. I couldn’t BELIVE what he said to me . It was cold we heated in the microwave This will Be the last time We order or even come to your restaurant Absolutely disgusting.

I don't have Indian very often but when I do, this place always delivers. I've been using this Indian for years. The staff are always friendly and the food is really fresh and tasty.

Food was nice but service very bad if you don't want to serve people get a different job

Great curry and friendly staff.

Every year for are pops birthday , we as in are family , 28 of us put massive money into a curry house and we have eaten at I would say the , most amazing places , we was told try this one ,,,, eastern nights , with out being rude it's , not to standard on chicken and lack of flavour compared to other Indians , sorry but you have lost about 400 pound + due to ,oh it's just another customer .

Nice place for a local restaurant. Staff a bit serious but efficient. No extras like baileys after or anything but food 9k. Prices average

Food ok staff pleasant 4 a local restaurant

Ok food and ok service,may of been more enjoyable on my birthday if there wasn't a bunch of drunks shouting and swearing in front of wife and kids so we left early. Maybe next time..

Went in today to sit down me and my partner picked a seat and before sitting down we was rudely approached by this waiter and was introduced by the words what am you doing,, we then replied politly saying we am eating in ?? Confused , he then said you have to speek to me first then told us we cant sit there”no resurved sign on the table on the table we wanted to eat at ,, he then firmly placd the heater for the food on this table he wanted to place us down ,,due to his attitude me and my partner walked out disscusing staff cant even comment on food due to poor coatomer sevise we didnt have time to order

Very nice food and atmosphere Can’t fault anything tonight Great service Great food We will be back We live locally and shall use this lovely restaurant

Nice little restaurant. Friendly, good food and reasonable prices.

Great place to have a relaxed meal we eat there almost once a week and have been for the last two years

Great food and friendly service, really enjoyed our visit. Highly recommended to go and visit. Meny Thanks .

Staff are really nice. Food not. Ordered bombai pot and literally had quarter of a pot!! Chicken wasn't tender. Rice was really sticky.

Lovely food, very friendly staff. Great value for money.

Not been here for a while, we decided to go out last minute for a meal on NYE after looking at some past reviews we were a little apprehensive. Nothing to worry about and will be returning food very nice and service excellent. From what I could hear everybody else eating here also enjoyed the experience

We used to eat here alot until it changed hands a few years ago. As it is handy to us we thought it was about time we tried it again. I had a chicken jalfrezi. I couldn't see any chillies in it and it looked like a sweet and sour sauce, orange and shiny. It didn't taste anything like a jalfrezi and wasn't very nice. The waiver confirmed it was supposed to be a Jalfrezi. So they replaced it, I tried a Vindaloo. It looked like a Vindaloo and had some heat but no flavour. If anything, it tasted like dirt? Hopefully they hadn't put anything in it because I'd returned the first meal. The Bombay potatoes were lovely and my wife's balti was lovely. But we won't be going back unfortunately.

Food was disappointing, not the flavour I expected for traditional dishes. The balti was very good though. Won't be rushing back.

Great food, stuffed peppers at just tge best!!!

An empty restaurant is never a good sign. Should have walked out. Staff were friendly, good choice on the menu, didn't have a long wait surprise surprise but not worth even a shirt wait. Thought the food was tasteless. This used to be my favourite local Indian until it was taken over. Now I won't be returning I'm afraidm

Staff were very quiet and solemn but after a bit of interaction were both warm and friendly. Waiting skills were very professional and efficient. Food was excellent. Dupiaza, Pattaya. Tikka Masala and Tamarind dishes were delicious and I mean exceptional. Would recommend and will return.

Another lovely evening of good food from Eastern nights 😊

Had a lovely meal at Eastern nights last night with my husband. With starters, mains and side dishes. All cooked lovely,we really enjoyed it.we were served by Mukith,He is very friendly and took time to talk to us about our choices. We will be going back soon.😊

Love the food, always hot and tasty, when we order for delivery, customer service is good 👍

Survice friendly. food nice ideal for takeaways and parking. Basic Furniture have alcohol there. Very small not a big place. But would recommend it.

Love Eastern Nights! Great food 👍

Worst takeaway we have ever had never again

Very good condition, lovely food

We order a curry by phone to be delivered at New Year. We wanted poppadoms but were told they were no longer available. The free side dish on offer were all potato based, so we declined. The meal came on time, was hot and very tasty, good portion size. I would recommend the vegetable samosas.

Overall a good meal. No complaints. There was a good amount of chicken in the curry of which all sizes were pretty large. Maybe a little more sauce would have been nice. Prices are reasonable too. The customer service were good. Worth a visit.

Great food, staff are friendly, good price. 😁👍😁

Was great service and food, please give this a go you'll be satisfied

Pretty good, typical Indian restaurant

We tend to go in mid week and it's always very quiet. Staff are friendly and attentive, food is OK and prices fairly.

Just had a lovely evening with friends at Eastern Nights. Friendly staff, good food in a relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Me apetecía un viernes por curry, así que pensé vamos a intentar noches orientales, ya que no han estado allí durante unos años y siempre tenía una buena comida. Tendremos que decir que las cosas han cambiado para peor. Primero, al haber elegido una copa de vino tinto fue informada por el camarero que no hacen más que uno, ya que la gerencia ha decidido usar vino DE CAJA FUERTE DE sí, ya sabéis, los puedes conseguir en un supermercado por £12. 00 por 2. 5 litros. Segundo, cuando se vinieron, fueron curries sosa y el peor posible curry que hemos tenido. Es una pena, ya me acuerdo de este restaurante siempre se llena y la buena comida, ya no éramos los únicos en el restaurante y sólo uno para llevar al cliente. Tercera la sonrisa de los camareros no volvería.

A very enjoyable night was had by all the food was fantastic and served in good time the wine was exquisite would certainly recommend to all

Good food, friendly service, although quiet evening and during Ramadan.

Always had a good curry here. Shame they don't deliver anymore

Otra visita a noches orientales con la familia. Mi primera visita bajo la nueva propiedad fue revisado en tripadvisor hace algún tiempo. Sin embargo, siento la necesidad de actualizar mi opinión con una vista más positiva después de esta visita. Es una pena que éramos los únicos allí porque la comida ha mejorado considerablemente. Todos tuvimos observaciones positivas sobre la calidad, el sabor y la frescura de nuestras comidas y volveremos de nuevo. El servicio era mejor que antes, pero todavía puede hacer con más sonrisas

I went after reading TA reviews, its a traditional menu , with some chefs specials, I had a tamarind Chicken, very good, I also had their Niramish vegetable side dish, again good but a little to oily. overall a good meal and good value

Haven't been here for years but as we were local and fancied an Indian after returning from an event we decided to make an unplanned visit. So glad we did it was great service, excellent food, hot and tasty. Will definitely be going again.

Tener ordenados para llevar un par de veces pensé que me deje saber mi tripadvisor vistas.

Clean little restaurant with takeaway service. Excellent service. Good food.

Food is normally great, depending on what chef is in, we order from them quite a lot. Highly recommend

Tuvimos un cumpleaños familiar aquí, 8 y un bebé en un cochecito. El personal era muy acogedor y amable y siempre dispuesto a atender a nuestro bebé. Todos pedimos diferentes platos (entrantes y platos principales) y todo el mundo estaba contento con sus platos. Yo diría que bien comida casera y servicio rápido. El restaurante es limpio y bien decorado. Sin duda aquí de nuevo!

Recomendado. Comida estupenda! Una noche muy divertida. Comí allí esta noche con mis padres, mi marido y mi nieta. Pedimos samosas vegetarianas (un poco demasiado picante y caliente para nosotros), cebolla (excelente); bahjis pollo tikka masala pollo; pollo tikka makhani kashmiri; vegetales; y naan pan queso biryani y coco naan pan (deliciosos). Todos disfrutamos de su comida - hay un montón de placas limpias! Muy buen precio. El restaurante estaba muy limpia y tenía un buen ambiente aunque éramos los únicos para comer en el momento. Estoy seguro de que sería genial, incluso cuando está llena. Los camareros eran atentos pero no interrumpir innecesariamente. Esta fue nuestra primera vez y sin duda volveremos! Gracias por una noche noches orientales.

Recommended. Great food! A very enjoyable night out. I ate there tonight with my parents, husband and niece. We ordered vegetarian samosas (bit too spicy/hot for us), onion bahjis (excellent); chicken tikka masala; chicken kashmiri; chicken tikka makhani; vegetable biryani and cheese naan bread and coconut naan bread (delicious). Everyone enjoyed their meal - there were lots of clean plates! Very good price. The restaurant was very clean and had a good atmosphere even though we were the only ones eating at the time. I'm sure it would be great even when full. The waiters were attentive but did not interrupt unnecessarily. This was our first time and we will definitely be going back! Thank you for a lovely evening Eastern Nights.

Been here a few times. Is just your average quite tasty nothing horrendous! We order here when neither of us can be bothered to drive to our favourite. Reasonably priced and always seem nice.

Had the place to ourselves. Well looked after and great tasting food. The Mystery still wins for takeaway though!

We had a take away tonight that was absolutely delicious. Lovely and hot, great portion sizes and the onion bhajis were gorgeous. Thank you Eastern Nights we will be back.

We had the whole restaurant to ourselves and it's so relaxing and beautiful in there, however, the waiter kept coming over constantly whilst we were eating, and also took our starters away whilst we were still eating them because the main was ready to come out... The portion sizes are ridiculous for the price. However they are very friendly, it's very clean, would go again but would speak to them about our visit.

Amazing food , as always ....Me and my family visit many times .The staff are always happy and very accommodating ...Especially Zia

This was one of the best indians in southampton since it has been taken over it is now overpriced and taste horrendous i had the chicken vindaloo and my 2 year old daughter ate it thats how much spice was in it my advice go to the mystery a few doors down and get a takeway it will save you money and taste alot better.i bought 2 meals in eastern nights as a takeaway and it cost £28 exactly the same in the mystery £18 and a free dish

Visited restaurant on a Wednesday night. We were the only people in restaurant dining. A couple people came in and collected takeways. The food was good and plenty of it. Service was excellent.

This is a local indian and when we went on a Friday night expecting it to be full it was the opposite so definite lacking in atmosphere BUT..The food was excellent and we had no problem with the waiting staff. The master..southampton

Had take away several times from here. Always quick and polite with us when we come in to order. The food quality is top notch and big portions. One of my favourites is the tamrind curry.

Perhaps not the most attractive looking establishment from the outside but - like us - take the gamble and enter and you will not be disappointed.We arrived at Eastern Nights just as they were opening at 5.30 on a Saturday evening; we had not booked. We were warmly welcomed and, even though this was our first visit, were treated like old friends by the cheerful, chatty and attentive staff throughout the duration of our excellent meal experience.Our reasonably priced drinks order was served promptly, as were our “papadams” and pickle selection. The Chicken Pakora and Mass Biran (pan fried boneless Bengali freshwater fish marinated in saffron ground spices) starters were both ample in portion, attractively presented and exceptionally tasty. The mains of Afghani Karai Ghost and Garlic Chilli Chicken were generous in portion size and outstandingly tasty, again these dishes were attractively presented. The accompanying freshly made Chilli Naan bread was ample for the two of us, and very tasty – there was no shortage of Chilli’s!!!Summary. Not the most stunning of external appearance or internal decoration – but clean, comfortable, friendly and serving excellent food. They have a 5 Star Hygiene Rating. The staff are friendly, chatty and attentive without being intrusive. The excellent food courses were produced at the right pace, we did not feel rushed neither did we suffer any excessive wait. They appear to have a thriving Take Away service. If you like Indian Cuisine we would heartily recommend you give it a try, We will be back in the Southampton area in May; we know where we will take our evening meal – Eastern Nights.

If you're prepared for not the best service in the world then this becomes a little gem. The food was first rate. Poppadums fairly standard but after that, the Karai, beautiful, the wife's chicken mango and coconut korma delightful. The sides great, Bombay spuds to die for. They did nothing wrong and nice price. Love it.

I must say, the food was very good indeed! Reasonably priced, good flavours and well presented! The service was speedy, however lacking friendliness and a smile! Was never asked how our meal was, and once we were finished, it was an abrupt "are you done"! Saag Paneer was the best I've ever had and the naan nice and cheesy, however the masala was a little watery for my liking! Overall, a very average experience, there's definitely better out there!

Always been a favorite restaurant for me and friends for over 20 years. But I don't think I will come again. I went early November with friends all of us have been coming here for years. The waiter couldn't have cared less. Table not ready even though I booked. Food was OK and the lady and another man not sure if the owners were quite friendly but the waiter was rude & uninterested. Just after 9.30 on a Saturday night it was just us and the staff were just waiting for us to go!!! Nobody came in which I have never seen before and no take away orders which just goes to show how downhill this place has gone. Such a shame the owners need to read these reviews and improve its not rocket science. Will be looking elsewhere for 2016.

Once upon a time this was a fantastic restaurant with great staff and a brilliant Bangladeshi chef- but sadly the most incompetent people have taken over this eatery and have no idea what they're doing. The waiter was unfriendly and excelled at sneering at us whenever he chose to acknowledge our existence. The food, which took an eternity to order was pretty average, but guess health & safety not a priority as one of our party has been very sick thanks to the obviously poor hygiene in their kitchen. Will never go here again and suggest anyone considering it should seek alternatives.

We have loved Eastern Nights for many years. As we live abroad having a good curry is rather important to us. The former management was exceedingly good, always offering great service and their Bangladeshi chef was outstanding. We didn't know that it had changed hands, so booked a table from abroad to take our family (party of 10) for a meal. On arrival the new staff claimed not to know of our booking but thankfully the restaurant was empty - little did we realize that this was an indication of how much this place has declined. The waiter was unfriendly & indifferent- he was also sporting a rather angry open wound on his wrist. It took over an hour to place our food order as the staff were too busy trying to sort out the take out orders. We decided to skip starters as we had children with us who were getting hungry & tired. The poppadoms were greasy. The main course, when it arrived was passable but alas my daughter has been throwing up for most of the night, letting me know that hygiene standards have obviously taken the same nosedive this once fabulous restaurant's service has taken. Avoid this place at all cost is the best advice I can give anyone thinking of going here.
