Spent just under 30 pounds on a food place I use to love, this order was terrible and inedible, food was cold considering i live 8 minutes away aswell its a complete joke and definitely should not be this cold. (onion&mushroom bajjis, half tandoori chicken, naan, rice all cold. the lamb tikka was the worst I've ever had! Chips was like they was still frozen! The only thing a little warm was the chicken tikka massala. And to top it off it was the first time my partner trying his first Indian which was embarrassing safe to say he won't have one ever again. This place use to be great now it's disgusting

Garbage. Ordered a 'traditional chicken curry with 2 naans'. The box of curry was three-quarters full only. 2-3 pieces of chicken tasted alright but the rest of the pieces had an old/funny taste. Typical out-of-the-freezer old chicken taste. The curry itself was equivalent of a Co-op shelf quality. Very mediocre. I don't know how these guys are surviving. I've had authentic Indian meals and this place does not come close. This is the second time I've had an issue. Thought I'd give them a chance - not again.

I have eaten a fair few Indian curries. This is the first time I’ve felt the compulsion to leave a review. Ahem…. THE BEST INDIAN EVER. And it’s consistent. So far they are two for two. Every menu item we ordered was perfect. The garlic mushroom dish is enough to cause a divorce lol Update…. Still the best. Can can’t be beaten.

Order took twice as long to deliver as stated. Every single Masala had an immense amount of sugar in it. I cannot describe how sweet the masala was. The garlic naan had no noticeable garlic flavor. The food was not warm. I hate to say it but it is the worst Indian food restaurant I’ve ever ordered from.

Waited over 1hr 20 mins for food that never arrived. Called 3 times just lied to about the driver being outside. Used this place for 30 years but the new owners have ruined it. Smaller portions. No quality and the service is dreadful. Don't waste your time with this poor imitation of what it once was.

Decided to try Eamons as recommended. Never again. Took 1 hr and 40 mins to arrive. This was a Wednesday eve at 6 so not busy. Was told 45 mins for delivery which is standard. The Naan was stale and felt reheated. Chicken was nice but sauce a bit thin. We ordered flavoured rice but when meal eventually arrived they had put pilau in as well. This is a waste. If a dish comes with rice, say so. Will go back to our usual in Winchester road.

Ordered for delivery between 5 and 5.30pm. Phoned for update at 5.40 and was told it was out for delivery. Didn't arrive til 6pm and was not particularly warm either. Disappointed with service. Ordered starters and they no longer come with side salad or sauce of any sort, even though it used to before. Main courses, tikka masala and chicken bhuna, was six bits of chicken in a big pot of sauce. Seems the increase in costs has massively affected the meals but the cost to me had also gone up. Quite disappointing tbh, and we've ordered from there many times. Wouldn't necessarily stop me ordering as taste was good, just definite drop in how much you get!

Food was luke warm and late arriving, rang them to be told we can replace corma and madras but because I had already mixed it on a hot plate nothing they could do, then the reply was we can get just the corma out to you, so I then replied what about the rice it's luke warm and how long will it take to get here, to be told not sure I'm diabetic so ordered the food so it would arrive roughly within time frame, told them don't bother and we will go somewhere else in future, customer service horrendous, I'm a courier myself, the customers pay my wages as without them I wouldn't have a job, if you want nearly cold food then yr in luck nearly £40 down and no decent hot food disgusting

Food was actually tasty and would've warranted 5 stars if not for the service. I pre-ordered this meal for 5.30-6pm delivery. The food was started to be prepared at around 5.30pm and was out for delivery around 15 minutes later. This is however where it all fell apart. The eta for the order was 5.55-6.15pm later than requested however not a problem though as 15 minutes wouldn't kill me. The food didn't turn up at 6.15pm and so I waited patiently till 6.30pm and gave them a call and they responded promptly and said they would call the delivery driver. The guy couldn't reach the delivery driver but said the food was out for delivery and would be 10-15 minutes more not a problem. 10-15 minutes went past then I waited 30 minutes again before calling to which I was told the driver went back to the restaurant and the food was being reheated before going back out. The food then took another 20 minutes before it was delivered. The driver told me he was waiting around for 15 minutes outside but couldn't get my number from the uber app as he was having issues with it. This is fine except the fact I gave the restaurant my number over the phone and they tried contracting the driver who didn't respond. So I don't really believe this excuse. Food was promptly opened and the curry had spilt everywhere luckily it was just the oil leaking through the lid and not the actual curry. The food was tepid there was no way it was reheated so at this point I called the restaurant again to let them know and they said they would speak with the driver. I was expecting at least a call back to explain what happened or something for my time. The curry was at 40 degrees according to my thermometer so it just felt warm in my mouth. However credit where it was due the food was actually very tasty even cold. Shame as I though this would be my next Indian takeaway after my usual closed in January. This was my 2nd order as the 1st one was good but I will no longer be using this place. Luckily Ubereats pulled through and the money was refunded.

We ordered from Emons for the first time tonight and the service has been absolutely disgusting. We placed an order at 6 o’clock and were told it’d be an hour wait, almost 2 hours later we are still waiting. We tried to call many times but weren’t able to get through and when we did finally get through the man on the phone had an awful attitude, no apology and didn’t seem to care at all that we’d been waiting for so long and weren’t able to get through to enquire about where our order was - he then claimed the driver had only left 5/10 mins ago for an order placed over an hour and a half ago! Absolutely disgusting. Avoid!!! If I could give it no stars I would.

Hi just moved to Southampton. Looked for an Indian takeaway in Shirley. I found Emons. A typical no nonsense Indian takeaway. Basic shop and kitchen. That delivers fantastic Indian food. Plus a free dish over £15. I class myself as a curry coniseur As part of my family from India 🇮🇳. I would highly recommend this Indian takeaway I will be going back there regularly. 😋

Emons is a good shout for those late night cravings when you want something quick and for a reasonable price. Highly recommend ordering directly from the restaurant and avoid using any apps as the prices on the apps seem to be skewed and it appears as items will cost you an arm and a leg. Quality is above average, flavour is all there, portion size is very reasonable and customer service is always grand.

Just ordered a takeaway from Emons, our usual Indian takeaway. The delivery driver phoned because he couldn't find the address, 10 minutes after telling him, he turns up with the cheek to ask for a tip as he had to climb some stairs. Of course he got a tip as usual but if I'd answered the door instead of my husband I would of told him to take a run and jump (back down the stairs). We won't be ordering from you again Emons.

Ordered from here last night to try a new local Indian after moving house. Fully expected to be disappointed due to the name and the exterior of the place. Ordered a meat dhansak (lamb and beef I think), vegetable dhansak, 3 chipatis, 1 Puri, 2 * onion bhajis, a lamb samosa and mango chutney. The whole meal came to just over 15 and was easily enough to feed myself and Mrs for 2 meals. Rice also came free with a curry. Bhajis and samosa were light and delicious and the dhansak was on point. Would recommend, and will definitely be ordering from Emon again.

How to describe Basmati. It's Southampton's humble Nepalese restaurant, where every single dish will make you return to try more. 5 stars for everything I've tried, and every time I've been there. The meat dishes, all the vegetarian options, the literally mouth-watering lamb momos (how much artistry can fit in a little momo? Basmati has the answer), the amazing peshwari naans. The service is always impeccable, the staff (perhaps owners) are lovely, kind, and always friendly. The food comes in good and right time, with warm plates ahead of serving the main part of the meal. The prices are such a good value for money, both for the amazing, homemaking-level good quality and for the portions. You will not leave hungry and you'll have eaten well. It's another reason why the restaurant is so popular with everyone. The atmosphere is always calm and inviting, with lovely folk Nepalese music in the background. In conclusion, I've been eating at Basmati for years, and I always bring friends and family who visit the city at this very restaurant. Thank you Basmati ☺️ P.S.: please kindly start offering the modhu murgh in a vegetarian option too, because the sauce is out of this world.
