Kutis / Noorani in Eastleigh

Delicious food. Super friendly service. Made my mum feel super special for her birthday meal. Great night! Always made feel very welcome.

We had an amazing time here for Sunday lunch. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Manager went above and beyond to make us welcome and helped us choose our meals ☺️🫶

Excellent sit-in meal with family. The quality and tenderness of the lamb in the Chettinad was (as is always the case) superb, as were all of the ingredients in our various mains, rices, naans and sides that we had, and this is why we always come back to Kuti's in Fair Oak for a takeaway or sit-in as, even though the service might occasionally dip, the food never lets us down. I've dropped a star this time as the pre-plated Shaslik should have been hotter and the requested lime pickle with our papadums didn't turn up, but we all enjoyed our meals very much.

Usually when I come here the service is great but last night I arrived with my party of 7 for my 9pm booking and was made to wait 40 minutes to be seated, when finally seated under a light that kept flickering and turning off i placed my order only to wait 20 minutes to then be told that my order has not gone through and I needed to order again. Finally when I get my order my table was missing 5 portions of rice , a curry and 2 nan breads. Had to send back a nan bread that had clearly not been cooked. By the time our food had come it was 10:30 and all they were interested in was if we “were finished yet” so they could close the restaurant. Complained to the manager after this and received 10% discount?

I always though that the Noorani had a good reputation in the past and Kuti’s in Southampton used to be a favourite back in the day, so I had expectations of a good curry on my first ever dinner there in December 2023. However I was very disappointed with my curry but put it down to my choice as it was not my usual favourite and I wished I’d gone for what I know and always like. So on this second visit my friend and I both chose our favourite dish - chicken tikka makhani. I had a starter of boona prawn with a puri, my friend had onion bhaji. The puri I’d expected to be light and fluffy turned up solid and soggy, although the prawns tasted okay. My friend didn’t have a complaint about her starter. We both close chicken tikka based on the description of it being cooked in a creamy sauce but when it arrived there was no evidence of it being cooked with any cream. It was mild, yes, but certainly not creamy. There was no effort made with presentation or garnish - fresh chopped coriander, a drizzle of cream, some toasted almonds to make it look more interesting, and the pilau rice was very plain - once again no effort made with presentation. A supermarket curry would have been more enjoyable and a great deal cheaper. The portion size was generous but I’d rather have had less and better quality. The food certainly didn’t live up to its menu description. The waiting staff were hovering all the time as if they wanted us to go so they could close! This restaurant seriously needs to up its game and I won’t be going again.

I have just check in here and still the best . I have been to afew curry houses but this one has an interst in making sure you have a good tasting good quillaty curry everytime with excellent service. Just what you need after a hard days work or treat for family. Cant put 6 ⭐ but this is it worth a long drive for.

Always a pleasure, excellent service, great team and the tastiest food

Amazing food , amazing service , staff very attentive and all lovely. The best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to , definitely going back. 100% recommend :)

My friend and I had our dinner here, and it was so good!!😍. From the starter, the main meals, etc.. atmosphere was good. I truly recommend this restaurant.

Very disappointing evening. Not only could some of the staff understand NO English whatsoever, but their prices are a bit silly too. And as if that wasn't bad enough, when we got home we found they left half our leftovers behind and that which they did bother to send home with us they mixed (some of the mains) in the same containers. Seriously?

We have been going here for years, but what a change in December, staff abrupt, long wait for food and drinks despite only 4 other tables being used. I have never seen it like this on a Saturday night before, our friends said we won't come here again. Whatever has happened.

1st ever proper meal here and it was absolutely delicious

Delicious meal. We ate way too much!

Beautiful curry house, friendly staff and great price!

Great meal Great atmosphere Lovely food

Fantastic Indian restaurant with a lovely ambience. Food is delicious and plentiful. Recommended.

Fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere and very good friendly and welcoming service. Always a pleasure.

Very very good food one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to, highly recommend

Nice food but the weekend buffet is a big let down . I don't think it's changed for years

Great food but shuts quite early and felt a little rushed

Food was tasty service friendly and efficient. Nice decor and bustling atmosphere on a Saturday evening.

I called up this evening to book a table for 6 for 9.30/45pm however I was advised that we needed to be out by 10.30pm. Even though the restaurant closing time states 11.30pm. Such a great shame as the gentleman on the phone was quite rude and clearly was not interested our custom.

Whilst the food was quite nice, I don't like being asked what I want to drink and how many poppodums I'd like before I'd barely sat down! Also I object to being asked if I want another drink when I have only drunk half of what I've already got! I was charged more than stated on the menu for a few items. I should have challenged it but wanted to get out.

Tasty food, well presented and reasonably priced.

Visited with family. Food was good but not exceptional in my opinion. Staff were polite but drink service was slow, restaurant when we went on a week day evening was not over busy. To sum up a normal indian meal average priced, I would go back if in area.

Always an excellent meal here, we've been quite a few times now and the food is always very good, with fantastic service. The place has a lovely setting and atmosphere. Especially recommend the Green Chilli Paneer (starter, although we have it as a side dish), Tamarind Chicken Curry (main) and Keema Rice. Drinks wise the Malabar Blond IPA on tap is a firm favourite. There's some great desserts available too, which is rare for a curry house, but we're yet to try any as we're always too full up on the delicious mains and sides!

Had a super meal and drink. Staff efficient, Parking on road ok.Not as good as it used to be.

Came back again for a takeaway, we had friends round and the food order was split between Kurtis and a Chinese takeaway. We phoned the Chinese through but walked into Kutis and ordered. We explained and they took this as a challenge to beat the Chinese...... They won as we had to wait 5 mins to collect the Chinese. The food quality was impeccable.

First time eating here and won’t be doing it again. Booked a table using their website and it allowed us to book a table at 21:45 on a Saturday night , turned up ten minutes early , first thing rude waiter says is “we close at 22:30 so you will have to be quick “ nice greeting when walking into a new restaurant that allowed us to book a late sitting , anyway ordered a lamb Thali and a chicken thali , which is supposed to be 4 different curry’s som rice and a bread . What turned up was 4 tiny bowls of basically the same curry (one was just the same as the others but really sweet like they had added tonnes of sugar to it ) the naan bread was covered in butter to the point it was dripping off , they didn’t even give us menus when sitting us down , we had to chase for these , all in all very average curry, no variety , greesy , and tiny portions , will defo not visit here again

First time me and my husband have visited and we enjoyed our Sunday evening buffet. Great selection of food, food tasted lovely and the customer service was brilliant too. Would recommend.

Great food and friendly service.

Kamal and the team catered for a garden party at home for 40+ people. The choice of dishes, suggested and agreed with Kamal, were outstanding and genuinely were commented on by all our guests. The best testimony we can provide is that I’ve had more than a dozen messages this morning (the actual morning after the night before) praising the food in particular and asking if we can organise a sit down soon at the restaurant. Thanks for everything 👍🏼

We visited on easter Saturday with family with no other options. Food is okay, service is good but had problem with the billing. We ordered a Kid meal of Chicken Koorma with rice which was about 6£+ in the menu. But we got billed 10 £+. When i inquired, the first person mentioned they added rice for the koorma but the menu clearly mentioned rice included in the item. I didn’t want to argue and spoil the perfect day so went with the payment. Before leaving i inquired with another again and this time they mentioned their menu price is not updated and they took the system price. Mistakes do happen, i wish they could have corrected the billing instead they gave absurd reasons . I would recommend anyone visiting this place to validate your bill before paying them.

I really hate giving bad reviews but I felt I had to give an honest review of Kutis fair oak. First of all I was really disappointed of how little I got for my money. I spent around £45 and felt I didn’t have much to show for the money compared to other curry houses in the area. I ordered the chicken tikka korma, although the sauce was very nice, that’s pretty much all it was, there was 4 bits of chicken in the container and I’m not sure it was even tikka. I spent over £7 something on the prawn starter and it was tiny. The two cheese nann breads were cold and rock solid, we couldn’t even bite into them. In fact all of the food was stone cold apart from the small portion of chicken korma. Chips were also inedible as they were cold and rock hard. The rice was cold and dry. Poor food quality for such a price. I was incredibly disappointed in this takeaway meal. I came to the restaurant years ago and thought it was lovely, looks like the food quality has gone downhill with a very big price hike.

Absolutely brilliant place to go for work meetings food is amazing and well presented staff are very friendly and helpful and very smart and clean

The worst meal I have ever had second time of purchasing this meal; what I got wasn’t the same as what I got the first time, I ordered this. There was butternut squash only some kind of potato tasting stuff with onions this time a completely different meal this time with no onions no taste of spices just blend but with a lot of stuff that appeared to resemble carrots, but didn’t taste anything like carrots. Garlic Naan x 1£3.35 Chana Butternut Squash x 1£9.40 Vegetable Samosa x 1£4.45 Total£17.20 Therefore a complete waste of my money and petrol driving to this restaurant. The food that they just dish out which never resembles anything like what is described on their menu isn’t fit to feed a DOG!!!! I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic Sunday buffet...nice selection of dishes and great starters...would thoroughly recommend!!!

Avoid like the plauge! Went In Saturday evening with my family, to be sat waiting for our starters for an hour and 15 minutes!! Other customers came in after us and had there food after a short wait. Spoke to the owner kamille, which was no help at all as problem not solved. So we walked out!!! And won't be returning. Is the beginning of the end for kutis fair oak???

Picked up a chicken dhansak which was really runny and greasy and tasted nothing like dhansak. Don’t bother, go elsewhere!

Great service and food! Highly recommend! Loved being welcomed as we arrived for our reservation by name. Very impressed ⭐️

Always a friendly welcome from Shimon and the team. Great for a Sunday buffet or an evening out. Food is delicious. Will be coming back for more!

Been coming here for 9 years and they never disappoint. Absolutely love their food. Can't wait until my birthday for my next in eat

Lovely Indian restaurant. Staff are always very pleasant and the Sunday buffet is amazing as you can sample different dishes. Thoroughly recommended, the food is absolutely delicious, the best I've ever tasted. Definitely worth a visit xxx

Best Indian meal we have ever tasted. 5 people all had different meal.

Fantastic Lamb Pathia for takeaway not normally a lamb person.. fancied a change really nice meal .. top marks to the chef & delivery driver!!

Perfect date night restaurant great service great atmosphere

Nice place. Buffet food was ok but staff were distracted, not listening.

Always good food and good service

Went for date night, place was packed. Food was amazing. 100% going back.

Amazing food!! Definitely on my hit list to visit again

Food was absolutely amazing. Service was a bit slow but they were super busy. The manager was very personable and attentive.

Good selection of dishes for the buffet.

Amazing food, good prices, talkative and attentive staff. Very professional. Naan they serve is just the best in the area, and curries and flavoursome and really tasty. The menu is very descriptive for those not familiar with Indian cuisine. 5 stars, keep up the good work!

Vriendelijke ontvangst. Heerlijk gegeten. Ruim voldoende porties.

The butter chicken is to die for!

Everywhere I go I like to try different Indian restaurants. I think I have found the best I have ever tasted. I had the Garlic Chilli Chicken and there were so many flavours. If you in the area I would give them a go!!

The food was superb but I think they were a bit short staffed as we waited a while before ordering and the meal was slow to come out but nonetheless a really tasty meal

Best curry fir long, long time. Thankyou

We had previously only had a takeaway from Kuti Noorani, as we moved to the area during lockdown 3. Food was good, price was premium. So on the off chance we booked a table for a saturday evening, for 4 adults. This would have been their last sitting, around 9.30. From the minute we sat down, we were repeatedly told that they closed at 11. Fair enough, point taken. But at each point someone then came to our table, we were reminded of this. And it just go worse. As for the food - they must have changed their chef as every single main course we ordered was very heavy on tomatoes (despite all being completely different dishes) with the only variant being the level of heat and protein included. All in all a very disappointing and unwelcoming experience. And all for over £160. We won't return - there is an amazing indian restaurant with superb food and welcoming staff in Eastleigh, that will be our go to from now on. We arrived there at almost 10.30 one night on the off chance that we could get a quick meal - they welcomed us in and allowed us to still enjoy our meal without feeling rushed and unwelcome. Take note Kuti Noorani!! The Kuti brand (if this is part of the chain) was once seen as a high end dining experience - not in Fair Oak, I would have got better service at a drive through fast food outlet than this. Avoid at all costs - takeaway Indian oulets in Fair Oak offer much superior food.

Great service and excellent food at the buffet on Sunday. Highly recommended

Ordered a meal for one, delivery. Delivery turned up on the hour, which was absolutely great. The food was hot too and the poppadoms were fresh. I ordered a chicken tikka vindaloo, mushroom rice and garlic Nann. The rice was ok, not too many mushrooms...

We went to Kuties Noorani at Fair Oak for my wife's 70th birthday meal. Quite a simple choice but a good one. We went on a Thursday evening, the restaurant was not very busy. The service we received from the staff was 1st class. 3...

Used to come here for every birthday and anniversary but not any more. Service was so slow, naan bread had raw garlic and was cold, wrong dish served and replacement tasted like plastic. Young waiter was very dismissive of the issues. Very poor.

Food was nice but it was busy and it took a while to get our meal, the order for which wasn't taken until after we had eaten our poppadoms.

We celebrated our sons 10th Birthday at Kutis on Saturday lunchtime and had a wonderful time. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh and full of flavour. The staff were welcoming and friendly and surprised the birthday boy with a cake a rendition of happy birthday at the end of the meal, it made his day! Thank you to everyone for a lovely afternoon, we look forward to visiting again soon.

We felt slightly cheated that the 2 course lunch menu was not available, despite being clearly advertised on the web site as being available on Saturday lunch times. Food was OK and the portion size was good - possibly too large which is why we...

Food was good. We had the buffet The serving staff were grumpy

We have been going to Kutis for years. Our last few takeaways have been really bad. We have waited for hours, having to ring and chase them up. The meat this time was disgusting and all the food was cold and greasy. This is the...

We've had a takeaway from here before which was good, so decided to try a sit down last night for our anniversary. We were seriously impressed. The service is wonderful, the food is incredible. My fiancé had what can only be described as a cheesy curry from the specials - this should be an abomination, but I tried a bit and it was amazing! The bill came, and it was really reasonable; we will be back!! P.s. they also get points for mopping the ladies floor after I advised it was really wet & slippery (looked like a guest had washed hands and got most the water on the floor!).

Lovely meal but over manned, it can get a bit annoying when you are asked the same questions by several members of staff.

It’s not an Indian restaurant.Those guys do not understand what Indian cuisine tastes like and it’s a shame. Pl do not eat. It’s better to eat stone than eat there. One of the worst foods I have ever tasted outside of India. Waste of time,...

Fantastic food, well worth a return visit.

Ordered meal 5.50pm on the 12th Feb, arrived at 8.20pm, quite cold. I live about a mile away. Noticeable hit and miss on quality now so we dont eat here any more prefering other local alternatives.

I always really liked this curry house but I had the worst service this time. I ordered a simple takeaway order at 1735 to be collected at 1915. I arrived and was kept waiting until 1955 for my food. When I said I’ve been waiting...

Poor customer service. Lack of ambience. Keema naan with no meat in it, kindly asked for another and was exactly the same, poorly made/cooked & was told that’s how they are which was very patronising/ignorant. Rushed at times and a bit miserable. No positivity from...

Very good food, attentive waiters, relaxed atmosphere, good size portions, absolutely no complaints. Recommend this place for sure!

Very nice food and good service. Just slightly cold where sat

Shame there is no zero star rating , I would give this place a zero star. Any shop bought supermarket own jarred sauce would be better than this.. NEVER again.

Very nice restaurant, excellent food & service. Sunday evening "all you can eat" buffet is excellent value for money.

Always a pleasure to dine here. A warm friendly welcome, great food and service. A lovely evening, highly recommended.

Extremely friendly staff, lovely food and spotlessly clean.

Amazing takeaway, very tasty. Just need to sort the app so it inform people when it is ready to collect!

Always pleasure to eat here or get takeaway. Mind blowing food!

Apart from a burnt naam the food was nice but having to wait an hour and 20 minutes for the meal was not acceptable. When we mentioned it we were told ‘it’s Christmas’ but not a full restaurant. Takeaways were taking priority which is a...

Really enjoyed on my first visit with a friend, slightly disappointed on my second visit for the buffet on a Sunday. Selection was ok but nothing with any heat and I like got curries

So, I try a lot of Indian restraurants, especially in the Southampton area. This is now in my top 5, I'll definitely be going again. Popped in without a booking, table for two on a Tuesday evening. Staff really friendly and attentive, no problem not having a reservation during the week. I really like the decor, there are little circular bays affording some privacy if you fancy it which is lovely. We opted for an open table for two. Wow - the food was exceptional. Lamb Rezalla starter and a Chicken 89 main and Bombay pots and onion bhajis. All came out in reasonable time and with a smile. Lamb Rezalla was phenomenal, best starter I've had anywhere, and the Chicken 89 was a delicious spicy goodness - really really good. Downsides? None really. I felt a little rushed after we had finished, which we ignored and the mens toilet floor was very wet and slippery. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. If you're into your indian cuisine and want to try somewhere out of the way definitely give it a go.

Absolutely marvelous food. Beautiful flavours. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Absolutely love their Sunday buffets and the prices are excellent. Definitely recommend!

Great local curry house. Some of the house specials are so worth a try. Service can be a bit chaotic as always but mean well.

Food was delicious and staff were attentive and friendly

Well done Shimon, another great Sunday buffet. Usual good selection to choose from. Always enjoyable,especially the onion bhaji's again. Till next time.

Ordered for delivery, took a while but worth the wait. Amazing and delicious tasting food.

Food is lovely but we had to wait over 2 hours to have our food delivered, we ordered at 18,24 and it turned up at 20.40 and the food was barely warm, will not order another takeaway from them.

If I could give zero I would. Lived in Fair Oak 9 years and never been to this place until last night. Can safely say we will not go again. We all have upset tummies! The service was slow, the food was not good. Out of 4 people who dined, 3 were vegan. 2 curries came out as chicken! One curry was not done as asked. Bland food. A hot pudding was frozen. Constantly kept bugging is to clear the table and hanging around trying to usher us out the door. Felt like we had to eat then go. Then to top it off tried charging us way over the top gratuity! Personally I don't see what everyone raves about? Obviously missing something. Next time will go elsewhere.

Ordered a take away. A good variety to choose from including vegan. Enjoyed the generous portions of tasty food.

We have been coming here since it first opened so it was a real disappointment when we met friends for a meal Saturday evening. Firstly it was difficult to get into the restaurant because of the queue waiting for takeaways, then we had to wait...

Internet ordered takeaway. Politely chaotic as very busy. Great food and well worth the wait

What can you say about this place other then the kings of Indian food try it your see what I mean

Had a lovely meal here with friends. Love the seating areas - made it special and staff were very friendly and efficient. Thankyou.

There were 5 of us here for Sunday lunch buffet we all enjoyed it lots to eat staff were lovely be back soon
