Forest tandoori Indian takeaway in New Forest

I’ve just tried the Bangladesh curry - oh my, it’s the best yet - fantastic cuisine with absolutely super chefs - thank you, we are lucky to have you in Lymington

It's the only place my family will go for our curries.

Once a year I come all the way from Mexico specifically to have this curry. The Vindaloo is delicious. The service is wonderful.. If you are near the area, you must stop for the most delicious curry!

Nice guys ,I have been using them a few years now when I visit the area ,food is always lovely..

Delicious would highly recommend

The food is great! The service is also five stars. If your reding this I definetly recommend this place its amazing!!!

Tried out Forest Tandoori for the first time last night on the recommendation of more than one friend. It was a superb experience, from the phonecall to place the order, the delicious smell and friendly service when I walked in to collect it, and ending with more, flavoursome, freshly cooked food than we could possibly eat (and for less money than we have previously have paid elsewhere). For me, the lamb tikka biryani was the highlight of the meal - but literally everything we had was tasty, colourful and supplied in generous amounts. Definitely our new favourite takeaway!

Thankyou again for the most amazing meal last night

Great food, generous portion sizes and tasted amazing! Didn’t have to wait long at all and the staff were extremely friendly. It is a shame I live too far away to order from here regularly but will definitely be ordering here when I’m next in Lymington. 5/5 on all fronts. Thank you for your impeccable service.

Best takeaway curry in the area. Lovely food and the guys there are super friendly

Delicious food 😋 The service was brilliant and the staff are very friendly 👌😎

Takeaway only here. We don't have much choice in Lymington when it comes to Indian takeaway, but these guys are quick and the food is tasty.

Amazing food and lovely service

Last night had a takeaway did not enjoy it to much spice in the madas and chicken corma sauce was not good and not much chicken

Without doubt forest tandoori takeaway is one of the best than others indian takeaway . They’ve provide Very delicious food and also they've service was very first and the stuff was Very friendly.. # Mr Si Khan #K Alom

Great food and friendly. You get loads for your money and the flavour is always great!

Really excellent takeaway- large portions and great flavours. We had 2 dansaks, a rogan josh and a jalfrezi and all were delicious.

First time using this restaurant after a recommendation from a work colleague ordered over the phone and collected 20 mins later. Staff were extremely friendly even gave my daughter a lollipop for the journey home. The food was absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best Indian meal we have had in a long time. Will definitely be going back Highly recommend!

Disgusting food no taste , manager rude, Dnt waste money

Great takeaway. Onion bhajees wonderful

This place used to be a great Indian house, all I’m seeing now is badly spiced food with poor customer service, not impressed

Spending few days in the New Forest and ordered from this restaurant on a whim. Very pleased that we did. Great food, generous portions and lovely customer service. Pay them a visit if you are near.

First experience at Forest Tandoori and was really impressed. We usually try another local Indian but after a dry meal that was expensive we decided to give this a go. So glad we did, friendly customer service, lovely food and portion sizes and best of all free popadoms & fresh salad! (Nothing comes for free these days!!) Thanks for a nice meal, be back soon!

We ordered food from this place, apart from the horrible red colors on the food, there was no salt or taste On top of it, they did not give the nan breads. Very very disappointing

Very nice food and generous portions. The man in charge is really friendly, chatting while we waited and helpful. Very pleased with everything.

Great take away Tandoori, very pleasant team of men that work in this establishment. They go out of there way to make sure the order is exactly what is needed. And the fid is very good. We returned twice in 3 days.

It's a takeaway.. Great food, lovely people.

Take away only curry house. Excellent food. Happy to recommend.

Fantastic meal! Really as I remember. Thoroughly recommend.

Best takeaway curry house for miles around. I think apart from the great flavours and large menu options, I like the fact that you can see the chefs cook your favourite dish right In front of you and you can watch them use all the different spices by freehand. Very friendly, nice atmosphere highly recommended this I personally wouldn't go anywhere else

I have had curries across the UK. And the most, at the very best, bang average, but here oh my god, these guys know how to cook a curry alright! Their style of curry is where commercial meets the home style, so, so good!

Yes they sold… Chef is back. Loads of bad press about. But I knew it was a load of bs. Came back in England after 2 years. This place has always been the best curry house in England imo. Tried tons from brick lane to Manchester. Im always having a polish curry always a bit disappointed, but it’s completely different to a uk one. Had been dreaming about forest tandoori for a year, every curry I have. I’m always thinking on the dansak they serve here but it never compares. Maybe that’s why I’m disappointed when I go else where. Last time I was down went to lal quila, was disappointed. Was very expensive and just not how it used to be. Was always a good experience in there back in the day. But was a poor curry. Better than rivaaz though, that one sucks! All I can say is damn, the chicken portion has got BIG!!!! First picture was day 1, 2nd pic next day for lunch. Must have been at least 16 bits of chicken tikka in it 😋🤤 Next day the curry is always better as the spices have time to mature. Only thing, it feels like they need a refit in there. Feels a bit neglected. Apart from that you will not be disappointed with forest tandoori!!! Absolutely spot on thanks 🙏

Came here tonight with work colleagues. Great service and lovely food. Added bonus on a Thursday there is a DJ playing some great music but not too loud that we couldn’t talk. Will definitely be back

Just brilliant Superb service and food

Another amazing takeaway, consistently good. Great portion sizes and always loads of prawns. Would highly recommend

My first time here and it won’t be my last! Absolutely delicious and very good service. Thank you all.

Great curry, even if they got my order wrong. I asked for a lamb phall and what i received was with spinach and not as hot, still a delicious curry 🙂

Well how sad is this. I've had two take aways recently, and the meat is cheap and dry,and the sauce is painfully weak. I understand this business been sold recently and the new people clearly think downgrading on quality of ingredients will work ! Not so ! I'll never go back but a hugh thank you to the previous owners who delivered quality food...as one BMW M series owner to another you did great food. Best regards. Nick

So tasty 😋 Shame it’s not a restaurant By far the best Indian cuisine in the area.

Very tasty and delicious food Service is very good 👍

It’s great, ideal place for takeaway.

Best in the area by far; possibly one of the best anywhere...

One of the tastiest meals I have ever had.

excellent flavoursome food . totally impressed with all the dishes - kori / methi / nans just yummy . certainly a credit to the town . delicious

Easily the best Indian food in Lymington. The quality of the food is high and the flavor is always amazing. I honestly can't think of a better food place in the area. Best prices too :)

Definitely the best Indian takeaway in the area. Good sized portions at a reasonable price. Service is always good and the kitchen is clean. The only place I'll go for a Indian takeaway.

Probably the best takeaway curry house I have every used across the UK

One of the best Indian takeaways I've ever had!

Would not go anywhere else for an Indian takeaway- always great food and service

We’ve tried the other 2 takeaway curries in the local area. Neither came anywhere close to this. Walk in and it’s a huge open kitchen which gives you great confidence. Proud of their work and friendly welcome. Everything was utterly perfect. Better than our favourite curry in London. 10/10. Superb.

Always great food, and friendly service. I like the way you can see your order being prepared. I am tempted to place another order now!

Best Indian takeaway in the UK...!!

Excellent quality and service, curries were tasty with good portions, come here every time we visit the new forest

Delicious food and a reasonable price 😋

Very good & consistent. Best take out around the area.

Amazing food. Reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Thali was lovely as always. Despite being very busy the wait was fairly short. Some local places were quoting 2 hours for delivery and an hour for collection.

The best Indian food in the south

Incredible quality. I have been ordering here for over 15 years and it is by far the best curry takeaway in Lymington. The food is always tasty and consistent. Great value with generous portions. The staff are very friendly and it is a pleasure to visit and collect. Well done team.

Ordered a chicken bhuna and a king prawn madras. King prawns were royally hot n' spicy, just the way it should be. Seshwari naan was on point, nice coconut flakes, really hit the spot. Pilau rice - not much to say about that, can't really get that wrong if you tried. Chicken Bhuna was delightfulm big hefty chonky slabs of chicken breast sitting in a welcoming sauce. Friendly staff who popped in a few poppadoms too for good measure. Would highly recommend them!

Great food freshly cooked while we waited. Great value for money.

Tasty food although the chicken & Bombay potatoes I would have preferred to be cut smaller

Another excellent meal from the Forest Tandoori. Great quality food and well-priced, highly recommended.

I have had some decent curries from here. Unfortunately, I have been violently ill for six days since last eating here.

Easily the best tasting Indian takeaway I’ve ever been to.

Tried a few different curries from this place and unfortunately they all taste very much the same. Buttery and sweet. Needs a bit more authentic flavour!

Excellent customer service and food extremely tasty. Always made fresh and you can see your food being cooked by talented chef's. A must visit.

Had a delicious takeaway from here. Loved watching them cook it too - from outside as social distancing meant we could not wait inside. Very professional and responsible.

Every time we are in Lymington we have a take away from here and it is simply amazing! Also cant argue with 5 star hygiene rating!

Had a takeaway last night. Couldn’t fault it food was perfect, portion sizes good. Will definitely become regulars. Thanks.

Ive never been disappointed by the takeaways I have received from forest tandoori. The flavours are excellent and so is the quality of meat. This is doubled up with their enormous portions well worth trying out! My only criticism is that they don’t offer delivery but this has never put me off the short drive to collect

Absolutely delicious! Phoned through our order and waited outside to collect, called in one person at a time. Easy. Good portions, good price and yummy food. Drive from Milford as best Indian takeaway around. Can’t fault it!

Another excellent take away from here . Totally over ordered but how can you choose when each dish is really delicious!

Really tasty food at really good prices 😋

Good food BUT overflowing containers + not sealed properly; a little less and sealed properly please.

Amazing food best Indian in lymington food cooked in front of you amazing

Had a great chicken tikka masala cooked in front of me , excellent

Best takeaway in lymington by far always friendly well priced i dont go anywhere elese food tastes amazing

Simply the best !!!! Absolutely wonderful. It’s so good to watch these guys preparing our food they are simply the best.

Having decided to stay in for New Year we wanted the best Indian Take Away . Unfortunately that involved a 2 hour round trip to Forest Tandoori . All I can say is that it was well worth it and we finished off left overs for breakfast on New Years Day . Excellent !!!!

Great food and good price, full of flavour!! Best Indian in the area and regular treat!

Prawn dhansak is absolutely delicious. Best curry in the area!

Absolutely top notch tandoori. Ordered the chicken jal, chicken dhansak and onion bhajis for collection - food was ready in twenty minutes and was some of the tastiest curry we've ever had. Reasonably well priced, great portions (i.e. huge) and just incredibly tasty.

Whenever our Indian Food expert (lecturer and chef) visits we always get an Indian takeaway from these guys. It’s always good. You always get large portions for the money so you get to eat another day as well! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Unfortunately hit and miss!. Occasionally very nice and occasionally very poor! Sadly, as I do love Indian cuisine I will not be playing the lottery there any more!....

A shirt distance on the road out of Lymington going towards Milton, is this great Indian take away. Parking outside and in the road alongside. Very varied menu. The curries we had were great and portions were set to match those with a good appetite. Fantastic value compared to the prices in the Indian restaurants in Lymington high street.

Always a pleasure to look forward to. Watch the guys doing their magic in the open kitchen. Chicken Tikka Dhansak delicious, as are other menu options.

We visit the new forest every year for a family birthday celebration and every year we make sure we visit Forest Tandoori for a meal. From the friendly welcoming service to the delicious food you really can’t go wrong, highly recommended.

Takeaway only - good portions and you can watch them cook it

Best Indian takeaway in lymington

Amazing Indian food cooked in an open kitchen. Have had several meals from here and yet to be disappointed. Not the cheapest but the quality makes it worth it

In town for the weekend. Tried this local take out. Amazing food. Generous portion. (Pathia and Dansak). Very Good telephone and pick up service. Very quick. Highly recommend!

Having lived in Bournemouth and Southampton in previous years, i have tried Indian food from a vast number of takeaways and restaurants, I can honestly say hands down that Forest Tandoori is without a doubt the best and feel privileged to have them on my doorstep. Trouble is I have a job staying away from the place as I live local. Would definitely recommend others to try even if from a far.

Dad's lived across the road for years and it's always my go-to. Never had a bad curry and service is good, you won't be disappointed.

I dont normally write reviews but I feel the need to write this review especially after how amazing the food is here! I ordered from Forest Tandoori on Saturday 11th November and went to pick up my order which was ready. Sometimes its a 2-3 minute wait which never really killed anyone but I dont mind as the food is always 100%. The food was so lovely and fresh! The phones were ringing and customers were coming in to place orders or pick up their order- you can already tell by the atmosphere how popular this Indian Takeaway is! The open kitchen view presents the hardworking staff and no one is sitting around doing nothing. I didnt have any cash to pay for my food and their card machine wasn’t working which is unfortunate on a ‪Saturday night‬ but it’s not really their fault. The owner and his daughter tried their best to get it working but each time it failed. I didnt mind taking out cash from the cash machines as the owner kept apologising for the inconvenience it caused us as paying customers. I accepted their apology though it’s not their fault but out of courtesy one would apologise. I wouldn’t ever ask for them to discount me £1.50 for the use of the cashpoint. Thank This takeaway always gives us FREE popodoms and chutneys which I happily accept! I have used Forest Tandoori for many years now and their service is the best I’ve ever seen! Forest Tandoori is the only place that gives you generous portions that even stay till the next day and they are not stingy with their portions! I will definitely continue to visit - 5* all round!

I would give this one a zero star rating if I could! Absolutely the worst service ever / anywhere. After many, many years of using them, I ordered a £40 take away for the family yesterday. On arriving to collect it (miraculously it was actually ready at the time they said - it never normally is) I found the card machine was not working due to the their internet connection. I sympathised with both the owner and his daughter - not what they needed on a Saturday night!! And after 15 minutes trying (with my meal getting colder) I went - at their request - to the local cash point to get cash. Since the machine charged me £1.50 for the privilege I asked if they would knock that off the bill. The owner started shouting (quite literally) at me that it wasn’t his fault and so, no, he wouldn’t fund the transaction charge. I (very calmly) pointed out that it wasn’t my fault either - and I even offered to go halves on the £1.50. But he then took my food off the counter and really started screaming - threateningly - in my face to get out, that he wasn’t going to serve me, that I should never go back (no worries there)!! His daughter also asked me to leave. I notice they didn’t throw my meal in the bin though; I wonder if some other poor schmucks paid for the (hopefully reheated) components later that evening??

Nothing average about this takeaway, ordered King Prawn Pathia, watched it being cooked and was presented with a generous portion of the tastiest Pathia EVER. Just the perfect amount of heat, sweet and sour.I know I'm raving but it was really delicious.

WOW, I've just had the tastiest King Prawn Pathia...ever. Watched it being cooked with the hotplate being on view and with a 5* hygiene rating it will be my go to takeaway whenever I'm camping nearby.

Great food everytime I go, sometimes a wait on food but always worth it!

Excellent food, cooked to order and didn't take long. Friendly staff, super service. First time we've used them on a caravanning trip. Highly recommend!
