KALI MIRCHI in Southampton

Not good. Ordered a tandoori selection, pilau rice and naan with extra madras sauce. The tandoori selection was a mixed bag of new and day old meat, a single prawn that was dry and chewy. The sauce (masala) was bland, too much yogurt. The madras sauce was missing. Pilau rice was dry and tasteless. I ordered this meal as a treat for some foreign friends to show what a British curry was like… my mistake.

Ordered dal tadka, bhendi bhaji, papadam, and garlic naan. Loved the food 🤤

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kali Mirchi in Southampton, and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the restaurant, and the warm hospitality of the staff. The restaurant offers a wide variety of authentic Indian dishes, all of which are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I was particularly impressed with the tandoori chicken, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The other dishes I tried were also delicious, and I was very pleased with the overall quality of the food. The restaurant was also very clean and well-maintained. The tables were clean and well-set, and the restrooms were also clean and tidy. The atmosphere was also very relaxing and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The staff at Kali Mirchi were also very friendly and attentive. They were always on hand to answer any questions we had and to make sure that we had everything we needed. I was particularly impressed with our waiter, Vasudev, who was very knowledgeable about the menu and was always happy to make recommendations. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Kali Mirchi, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Indian meal in Southampton. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning to Kali Mirchi again in the future. Here are some additional details that you may want to include in your review: * The restaurant is located at 98 Shirley High St, Shirley, Southampton SO16 4FB, UK. * The restaurant is open from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM on weekdays and from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM on weekends. * The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. * The restaurant offers a takeaway service. I hope this helps!

Superb meal this evening. Great atmosphere to go with the delicious food. Anil and team were on top form.

Delicious food collection Easy online ordering, fresh food, generous portions, and friendly staff. Great value too!

Delivery driver got the address completely wrong, was nowhere near me, had to be guided on the phone.

I ordered food never got it driver thick

Still waiting for food, over an hour late. I am sure it will be nice when it arrives but Kali Mirchi should think about whether they want to operate such poor delivery service as this has happened on multiple occasions. In future I will either collect or if I am unable to, sadly order elsewhere.

Ignored every attempt I took to get in contact said it arrived and never did extremely disappointed and shocking service

Late delivery but food was great quality, very tasty and hot.

2.1 hours to arrive after ordering. Was cold and under cooked

Best Indian food I've had is from this restaurant, truly amazing!

Best I’ve had in the local area. No complaints and the cheese naan was amazing.

nice vindaloo spice, but the keema naan was bare, only 1 poppadom, wouldn't order again unfortunately. bombaa alot, saved from.2 star

Excellent meal - really tasty. The chefs know their stuff! Will order again.

Best Butter paneer! I'll be back soon.Thank You!

Llevo años yendo a Kali Mirchi y siempre es una mala experiencia positiva. Vivo en el lugar y la comida para llevar es siempre a tiempo y caliente. La comida es muy deliciosa y el personal es muy amable. Una verdadera joya para tener tan cerca de casa

Lovely food, arrived promptly, great service.

Spot on as always 😎. Thanks guys!

When I called them at 21:05 is was 20 minutes late and I was informed they were just cooking it. Original time was by 20:45. It finally arrived at 21:50. There was no mention of traffic, and it’s unlikely there was any at that time of night.

Ordenó una comida para llevar a las 6. 55 pm que podrían ser hasta una hora. Esperó más de una hora y decidió llamarlos a las 8. 10 . Nos dijeron que iban a empezar a cocinarlo... finalmente llegó a las 8. 30 pm. La comida era definitivamente deficiente... mis maridos curry era soso... mi salsa era muy acuosa y las patatas solo tibias. Lástima que este solía ser un excelente restaurante. Definitivamente no voy a pedir una comida para llevar de aquí de nuevo tristemente.

Yesterday we ordered a chicken tikka masala, a plain rice and a peshwari naan. The naan was lovely. Unfortunately the rice had the curry dished up onto it before we realised the curry was not what we’d ordered (despite it saying CTM on the lid) - it was so ridiculously spicy and had potatoes in it. We couldn’t eat it and had to pick out the bit of rice not contaminated by the curry. Have not yet had any response from Just Eat or Kali Mirchi. We have photos but haven’t yet been asked for them.

Good sized portions, food was very tasty and hot with good sized portions

Great food , really tasty and excellent delivery service

Some of the food was cold and missing chicken korma

Very Tasty Biryani. My other Favourite is namesake Kali Mirch Chicken

'Courier on the way' for over half an hour - no sign of delivery! Now 15 minutes after delivery estimate...!

Excellent food, and accommodating staff. Dealt with our special requests without question. Plenty of tablespace but seems to be doing a roaring takeaway trade during the weekdays.

I’m a regular customer so I don’t appreciate getting moaned at for not ordering an hour before close. Readjust your closing times for just eat if you don’t want any orders or just cancel our order. Second time I’ve been moaned at for ridiculous reasons. We even meet the drivers outside the flat so they don’t need to walk upstairs each time so I’d expect some type of respect by this point.

Ordenó una comida para llevar a las 6. 30 pm para entrega a las 7 . 30 . Esperé 2 horas por él y cuando llegó estaba frío como piedra. Desperdicio de 45€ y es la segunda vez que pedimos y ambas veces tuvimos que esperar 2 horas. Dije después de la primera vez que nunca más me molestaría, pero después de 3 años pensé que las cosas podrían haber mejorado. No pierdas el tiempo, hay lugares mucho mejores en Southampton.

One of the best Indians in the area, great they have kingfisher on draft too!

Otra comida fantástica, gran servicio y ambiente, este restaurante nunca me decepciona, muy local para mí, así que tengo mucha suerte de que el único restaurante indio al que voy

Our delivery was an hour late. Phoned restaurant and apparently had been delivered at 8.30 pm. So someone else had our order. Was delivered at 10.30 pm.

Never got my food, just eat enters wrong address

Mejor casa de curry en Southampton Increíble sabor pollo pathia curry 10 / 10 volverá en un futuro muy cercano. 😋

Food is not delivered but it says as delivered worst service still waiting

The food was special and tasty. Good place to try various dishes. Must visit again.

Great food as always, not the cheapest but definitely one of the best tasting and portion size

it was raining and the driver was rude and the food was whole wet when it came cold and the driver didn't wanted to come to my house so he called me to pick up 500 m from my house during the rain.

Best indian takeaway I've found in Southampton so far

10/10 Beautiful meal. Thank you!

Food was piping hot & delicious. Will definitely order again

Restaurant is really good, food is delicious and service is also good. Five stars!

Great food, hot and quick delivery

The food is excellent, they cater brilliantly for vegans and vegetarians, such wonderful fresh flavours and balance of spices. Indulgent and wickedly satisfying. Did I mention the great value for money too! Worth every penny, not extortionate. And wonderful service. Thank you Kali 😊 🙏

Superb! Best curry house in the area. Always consistent. Thanks 😎

Mercoledì 1 maggio 2024 a cena. Risolante scelto con cura tra le molte opzioni asiatiche disponibili. Bel tavolo, atmosfera garbata, personale sorridente. Prendiamo Tandoori platter, 2 ch.kali mirchi, ancora chicken e zeera & peas rice, molto chilli naan. 5 pinte di Cobra in 3 spendiamo £ 97,20 e restiamo soddisfatti

Curry was nice but naan was cold and poppadom was stale

Really quick delivery, delivery man was very polite. Food was delicious! First time eating from here, will definately be ordering again!

Went to pick food up and was closed, I arrived ten minutes early and forty minutes before restaurant was supposed to be shut

This is the first time I've tasted such bad Indian food

Disappointed, usually so good but tonight wasn't up to their usual standards.

Food was late, was cold not enjoyed at all won’t be ordering from here again

Arrived bang on time, massive portion and absolutely slapped. AND the delivery driver even read the delivery note which is wild. 10/10

the food received after ordering received was 2 hr in total and 1 hr late after been said delivered from the app

Driver completed as delivered when he was still at the restraunt. Food arrived cold

Food was good , definitely use again.

Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh & hot! Will definitely order again soon! Best tikka masala around!

lovely Indian well worth paying for

The taste and authentic aroma of Dum briyani blowed my soul. Shame that I didn’t order from here till date. I can’t recommend more. 5 start for Dum Biryani

very nice food , however in my opinion not as good as my usual takeaway

That is some of the best curry I had in a long time. Very pleasant. Driver . If I could give more points I would I have just found myself a perfect Indian. Well done guys we be back

Very expensive for below standard food. £1.10 for ONE soggy Poppadom!!! Jalfrezizi was just a veg curry, only one prawn in dish which was total mush (only knew it was a prawn because the burnt tail) chicken dry, dishes were barely warm as well. chips were OK. Driver was happy. Cheers drives. We will not be ordering from here again.

Fantastic again as always, great service excellent dishes lovely atmosphere cool wine very satisfied my only go to Indian restaurant

2 hours 10 mins from order to delivery to the door went past hungry... food turned up poppadoms were soggy normally very good from here but tonight was far from it £41 that was wasted in my eyes has made me think twice about using in the future

Delicious, authentic food and amazing friendly staff. Highly recommended! Great gluten free and vegetarian options.

Food wasn't delivered even though the app said it had been, nobody answered the phone when I rang to find out more

I'm not one for writing reviews, but wow. I'm usually disappointed in takeaways but this was my first order and honestly the best takeaway I've had in years

The dishes were delicious - really tasty. I only removed a star because the poppadoms were inedible and soggy. I just won’t order them next time!

We were both greatly disappointed (we had different items). We tried this restaurant as a change from our usual one, which was a mistake. The flavours of the food we chose were overpowering (my Pathia tasted like gravy with added spice). We threw most of it away.

Absolutely brilliant meal, really good food and the team are all really smiley and chatty. Will certainly come back again!

One of the best Indian restaurants that I have been into in all my years. Thank you for the experience

Food was great but as I've been collecting stamps, the site was showing that I was due £15 reduction but this was not applied. Suddenly, the site is showing that I've only collected my first stamp which is incorrect

We always used this place for our takeaways when we lived in Southampton as the food is really lovely. Tonight we used the restaurant as we are visiting for a couple of days and yet again the food is absolutely beautiful and the service is outstanding. Thank you hope to see you guys very soon.

Staff are so friendly and helpful, the food is amazing and enjoyable. Definitely go again.

I had an excellent experience at Kali Mirchi. The restaurant offers a diverse range of options on their menu, ensuring there's something for everyone. The food I ordered was not only delicious but also exceeded my expectations. The service provided was impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Best Indian , great food, great service

1st time ordering from here and not disappointed! Slightly more expensive than other Indian takeaways, but definitely worth the money, very tasty, delivered hot and on time. Only let down was the poppadom, only 1 and slightly undercooked, but certainly will buy again.

Everything was good as expected

Ordered a take away from here. Food took almost an hour and a half to be delivered, despite the estimated time quoted being 45 mins. Food finally arrived with out the naan bread that I'd ordered and paid for. Didn't realise until after I finished eating, so tried dropping the restaurant a message using the option on the ordering page. Received no response, so a day or so later I emailed them and still got no response (over a week has now gone by!). Will not use them ever again, as I understand it's easy to make a mistake in a busy restaurant but I don't expect to be ignored when I tell them have had money from me for goods I've not received!

Did not enjoy the food, all dishes tasted the same - stews

We had booked a table for 8 for a family birthday. Everyone had a different choice from the menu. We chose poppadoms while we waited for our main course. They were really tasty. When the main meal arrived the food looked very appealing as it was served. We didn't wait long for service. All staff were very attentive. Great evening. We all agreed we enjoyed the food.

Best curry I have had for long time will definitely go back again

Food is always good quality, got a message advising out for delivery at the start of estimated arrival- I called the restaurant at the end of the estimated delivery period ( half an hour long )and they told me it’s the next delivery- still took another half hour from there!! So an hour in total, tastes amazing, was warm enough to eat but not hot by any means.

Food lukewarm, and an hour or more late….despite being advised it was in the kitchen on the 3 occasions I called, on one occasion I was advised it was on the way then advised in the kitchen!! Then the driver arrived arrived had no change, I normally pay by card so why he had none? Seriously 😳 joke

Most delicious take away I have ever eaten, very high quality, very large menu with a wide choice of interesting dishes

Fantastic quality food. Large portions, very tasty. Would definitely order again.

very disappointed as quite expensive and only 4 king prawns in the curry!

We tried several dishes that I hadn't heard of before. Being from the Midlands we know our curries and they did not dissappoint. Very flavoursome dishes, loaded with meat and the king prawns were monsters! I will definitely be using these guys for my next takeaway curry, it's hard to find a good one and they certainly delivered 😉

The food was delicious, unfortunately by the time it got to us though it was cold

Absolutely delicious. 1st time from KM and will definitely order again. Very tasty although no freebie after £40 as stated. A couple of poppadoms would have made it!

Great food and one of the best Indian take aways I have had for a while. Vindaloo chicken beware it’s super hot but that’s how we like it. Goanes prawn was great creamy dish and murgh khurchan was great with some heat packed in. Was just found it from trip advisor and will definitely be back soon !

Potatoes where abit to salty but overall very nice

consistently great food, a height many takeaways/restaurants can't seem to achieve these days. Best in southamoton thanks kali

Restaurant not busy..early eve..food excellentservice good.goubg again soon

Good food. As someone who can only handle a korma it would be helpful to know if dishes are even slightly spicy. The rice I ordered (the pilau rice) had some spicy seeds or something in it which meant I didn't enjoy it and had to waste most of it. I wouldn't have expected pilau rice to be spicy.

The best Indian restaurant in Southampton imo.

Food was late but hot and delicious

It arrived cold and so salty it was inedible

Best chicken vindaloo I've had in ages. Peshwari naan and coconut rice were amazing ❤️
