Iford Tandoori in Bournemouth

I use Iford Tandoori for all my deliveries now. The food is fantastic and always arrives piping hot. Delivery has been a little late on occasion, but this has mainly been due to traffic, which can be heavy in the tourist season, but the food is always worth waiting for. I'd recommend them to anyone - Bob Savage

We wanted to take our children to an Indian restaurant without a huge expense as we are a family of 5 and keen to try different dishes. The restaurant is bring your own so that saves such an expense for a family in terms of drinks bills and there is a fantastic set menu which easily fed 5 of us and gave us the opportunity to try lots of different dishes. The waiters were so friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. It was a really good experience for us as a family and we will definitely go back. We have eaten here once before as a couple with friends and again enjoyed a really tasty dinner. A great menu to chose from and such good prices compared to many restaurants near us. Thank you so much for a great meal. We will definitely be back.

Had delivery tonight chicken pathia with other meals everyone was happy except me What is going on with the black in the chicken

Out with a group of friends and know one else in the restaurant. Not welcomed on entry not even a smile. Pouring with rain and not even asked if we’d like them to take our coats. Bordering on rude waiter collecting plates/delivering food. Using hand suggestions to ask for our plates rather than speaking. Food was quite good but not all dishes were great. Very slow to come back to us so we could pay the bill. Just stood in kitchen with the boss (?). Friend had to ask waiter if he was having a bad night at the end. He just laughed and said they are busy in the kitchen. Obviously takeaway orders were more important. Would really put any of us going again. Shame as local to us all.

My wife and I had an excellent meal on Friday evening last We have tried their delivery service and found it excellent on on Friday we had a tandoori mixed grill and I had a king prawn jal frezi with a spinach and cauliflower bhaji The pickles, especially the red pickle, we had with really crispy poppadums beforehand we excellent Thank you.

I normally order take away. Decided to eat in this time with my girlfriend and the place was completely empty and we sat on a 4 person table so extra space for side dishes I order, the guy at front of house didn’t welcome us and made us move to a 2 person table even though there was nobody else there which was quite weird, by the time we left only one other couple was there. His manner was quite rude and seems completely disinterested in his job. The couple come in 10 mins after and got served their meal before us. The food was great and tasty as always but this member of staff could do with some extra training.

Having flown four lovely passengers down from Aberdeen to Bournemouth along with their very heavy bag of dead geese it was time for dinner Only a ten minute walk from The Village hotel, we were greeted by this delightful Indian restaurant. Delicious aromas prevailed and even the lack of alcohol (you can bring your own but we couldn’t be bothered to step out into the cold again) was not going to dampen our enthusiasm. I had to admit it was shaping up to be considerably better than The Harvester that I’d suggested 😀 We ordered some delicious curries from the specials menu : I forget the names of the dishes but basically it’s all very very good. The only other diners at what was a fairly early hour on a Wednesday evening were a loud table of ladies of a certain vintage who were fussing about a lack of spoons and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Thankfully they piped down once their food arrived and, with their noses in their troughs we were free to enjoy our dinner too. Everyone at the restaurant was very friendly. It’s a family business and that shows in the care and attention to detail. Thanks Saad and family for a lovely evening!!

Great curry, and fast delivery. First time we have ordered from here. Good choice of menu, and food tasted good. Will return

Thought I'd try a dine in after 3 great takeaway's. Good service, a full restaurant (always a good sign), spacious room. Starter excellent, a rival for my Indian of choice. Main equally good, lovely tasteful & well spiced from main to sides. BYO makes the evening cheaper all round so we enjoyed a desert to cleanse the pallet. All in all a great night - starter, main, sides, rice & desert for £27 p/head, cant argue with that!! Will return.

Delivery recommended by family delicious food great prices fast delivery Great experience after sad meal from The Real Greek Bournemouth

Delicious. A byo restaurant so it was considerably cheaper overall. Sounds daft but the pickles tray was the best I’ve ever seen. I had a chicken and minced lamb dish with a coconut sauce. Gorgeous. One of the family had jalfrezi and she found it very hot, so be warned! Everyone had a great meal and I’m delighted to have discovered this place after many years visiting the area. We’ll be back.

First time dining here after 2 excellent takeaways. "BYO" is a great option in the 'current climate' & the restaurant doesn't need to hike the drinks prices. Starter, main, rice & sides all cooked to a very good standard. Good service also in a full restaurant. Four courses & a dessert for under £30 p/head on a weekend is very good value indeed. Will return!

Me and my partner really enjoyed our selfs. The food was unbelievable the flavours were incredible and the portion sizes were amazing. The service was great they were really happy and helpful and made us feel very welcomed. Really can’t recommend this place enough. We will 100% be going back! Absolutely delicious!

We went back there twice in a week as it is so great. Food and service amazing. My family all have very different tastes but this place satisfies all our us. Thank you again!

We have eaten here many times always good food and nice staff, but one big point is the place needs a good clean starting to get very grubby (the unisex loo pretty grim!!) Not seen the kitchen but hope it is cleaner than the loo!! Come on guys get the place cleaned up as the food is great!

Popped in tonight never been there before but the food was well cooked flavors were so good cooked to perfection I didn't take a photo as I ate it all before I thought about it. I am going to take my family there

Had an absolute amazing time great food and staff Definitely would recommend one of the best Indiana’s in the area keep up the good work 😋

Worst curryhouse I have been to for awhile , my dog pukes up better than the mixed starter and the waiters attitude was nothing short of contempt .Avoid

Sorry, this place is dreadful. I have only ever written 5 star reviews but I came here with my husband a few weeks ago. Owner/older gentlemen in charge rude, abrupt and panders to a few "regulars" (local drunks on cheap wine) to the detriment to...

Went last night for a family meal the restaurant was noisy but the food amazing it was that good ordered takeaway again tonight

I’m not sure if those that think this restaurant serves delicious meals are just people who hv 0 taste or have not had good Indian but what a disappointment it was for us. Tasteless and bland chunks of tikka breast thick cuts just dumped into...

Absolutely fantastic food, had a delivery on Friday night everything cooked perfectly, and this is coming from a chef, had Indian last night at Eye of the tiger and your food was far better.

The table we expected was not available on arrival, but soon as a more appropriate table for our group was available, the staff we on the case to relocate us. I asked if the Poppadoms were Gluten Free and was told "No, they are 70p...

Visited with friends for the second time. To my mind not quite as flavoursome as last time, but still very good. Hits were Prawn Puri, coconut rice and the Bhindi Bhaji was a revelation. The lamb chops although lovely were not a medium spice as...

The owner seemed very pleasant and to bring your own booze is brilliant. But there are much better Indians about than this. The food tasted bland and just not up to some of the other local restaurants in the area. Will not be returning.

Avoid at all costs!!! Ordered takeaway online for a pre-ordered time. Chased the order 15 minutes after expected time to be told it had just left the kitchen and should have it imminently. Called 20 minutes after (we are a 2 min drive away) to...

Good food and service plus very fair prices as they are unlicensed. Make the most of this restaurant and it’s high quality dishes, before it becomes too popular

Takeaway Indian is usually very disappointing but this was absolutely glorious. Nicely spiced and really tasty dishes.

Just been to this lovely restaurant, great service, good food and reasonably priced, we will go again when where next in the area.

Fabulous fresh and non greasy food. Lovely restaurant and service. Can’t wait to go back. No reason to ever have Indian food from anywhere else. The lamb passanda was creamy and fruity, prawn jalfrezi full of spice and peshwari nan better than I have ever...

Thank you to Ali and team for a wonderful dining experience, the food is simply delicious and we felt so welcome and at home with our young children in-tow. Curries were generous portion sizes and packed full of flavour, the keema rice was the best...

Fantastic meal, tasty, delicately spiced and flavoured, excellent service in a new fresh restaurant. The Peshawar naan was sublime, light and perfectly flavoured. Note that the establishment is alcohol free but don’t let that put you off, you can BYOB. I’m back next time I’m...

Contemporary, friendly and clean little restaurant with wide ranging menu. Visited in a group of eight and all meals were amazing. Freshly cooked and absolutely delicious . Great value for money and being able to bring own alcohol is a bonus too.. Highly recommend.

Have been here a couple of times in the last few months and have not been disappointed. The staff are great, very friendly and attentive & always willing to help. They are knowledgeable & will give good recommendations & make any adjustments to your dish...

Been here a couple times now, no better curry house to go to than here. Always had quick service with very accommodating staff, top quality delicious food! Can’t recommend this place enough.

Tasty freshly cooked Indian food. This was a great find, lovely decor, friendly staff and good service. They don’t serve alcohol but you can bring own or they offered to buy beer locally. Highly recommend Mango Lassi as great non alcoholic option.

This place is new to our area so thought we’d give it a try. The fit out of the restaurant is really nice. The service and food I couldn’t fault definitely the best curry I’ve had in a while. Bring your own drink as I...

So lucky to have this on our doorstep! Excellent food and friendly service. Mixed kebab and chicken tikka balti were amazing! Our new regular!

At last a much needed high quality tandoori restaurant in the area. I think we have been just about every week since it opened, and are busy making our way through the extensive menu. So far we haven't been disappointed once, the quality of the...

I've been raving about this place to my mates for a couple of months now and we finally managed to arrange a get together on Tuesday night for a lads curry night. You'd think one of the lads in our group was a Michelin Star...

We have visited several times now while in Christchurch The welcome is always friendly and service good The food is good and reasonably priced We really like the fact that you can take your own alcohol and the venue will even supply glasses Hopefully the...

We love the Iford Tandoori!!! We've waited a long time for a great tandoori to open up near us, and the Iford Tandoori are everything we hoped for. Lovely tasty food, wonderful host in Ali and great prices. Well done guys, thoroughly recommended! (NB. Bring...
