Lal Quilla Indian Restaurant in New Forest

We got a takeaway from here. Ordered online and got 15% because I collected. All the dishes were lovely, service was good. Recommend for takeaways

Never again terrible staff food was OK delivery horrendous 2 and a half hour wait to be told only one driver and nothing they could do even no was told 45 minutes

Was a pleasant family dinner, very few diners so service was good, found the currys expensive though, clearly no competition.

Fantastic food Fantastic staff Definitely worth a visit Service was spot on Staff where very professional Would totally recommend this restaurant for an evening meal.

I am so pleased this restaurant was recommeded by our Hotel. The food was exceptional and the staff were so friendly, knowledgable and made our night. The Lamb speciality. was the best lamb I have ever had in an indian restaurant (and we go to many around the country). They deserve to succeed for years and years.

Terrible impatience staff rude and inept food 6/10,decor was clean but very plain was like sitting in a branch of home bargains discount store

Best chicken naga I have eaten, full of flavour- if I were to pick one curry to eat for the rest of my life it would be this!

Monday 18th December we are locals and have a regular delivery to our nearby home.Today we ordered two Chicken Pathia curries. These were NOT pathias.There was definitely coconut in the sauce and it was more like a passanda.This is not the first time we have been disappointed.Not consistant anymore sadly.

Remember, remember, the seventh of November Papadams, pilau rice and a curry It's a hell of a thriller, to dine at Lal Quilla We'll be back there again, don't you worry

We had a delicious family meal - some really interesting dishes on the menu. I stuck with my usual chicken tikka balti which was the best I’ve ever tasted. Our waiter was really friendly and the kids loved the food as much as we did which is always a bonus! Beautiful, modern decor. A real treat. Thank you.

We had a terrible experience in the restaurant. We were overcharged for almost every item. The staff were arguing amongst themselves all night next to our table. The manager was extremely rude when we queried the bill. Avoid at all costs. They rely on the fact that many otheir customers are holiday makers, so return custom is not required.

Rude unhelpful staff with the worst Indian food I have ever seen, swimming in oil, all four of us will never return, so many good places in the area don't waste your time here

We hadn’t booked the restaurant but really fancied a curry. We walked into the restaurant and up to the reception counter/bar. There was a man at the bar opening a bottle of wine, (subsequently found out he is the manager) he didn’t look up we waited about 2 minutes while he struggled with the wine bottle without as much as a smile or “I’ll be with you in a minute, no eye contact, nothing. A waiter appeared after a while, the manager said something and the fella offered us a crap table by the door, saying sit there. We just walked out, I’ve never had such dreadful service. When I said something to the man as we were leaving he said “what, do you want, shall I do a dance for you” Unbelievable.

Excellent Indian food - would recommend against other Indian restaurants in Lymington - the owner is friendly and gets to know regular customers.

The cooking is first class. I particularly enjoyed the aubergine dish of Baghare Baingan, the Sag Chana and garlic rice, just the right amount of seasoning for my taste. My husband had the Lamb Bhuna which he said was very flavoursome.

Worth a visit if you’re looking for good food but don’t expect frills. We usually go to another Indian restaurant in town but fancied a change (and Lal Quilla is a little cheaper). The restaurant is very clean but quite ‘clinical’ looking with weird fluorescent lights that looks like the kind of lighting you have in nightclub bathrooms - haha! The starter we had was ‘butterfly king prawn’ - the menus are quite basic and don’t really explain what exactly each dish is, so we were pleasantly surprised with a huge tempura prawn, but only one. The main courses were really nice and we finished it all. We fancied a small dessert which we would NOT recommend - it came out with a layer of ice on top and was freezer burnt (it was an ice cream pudding thing and was really gritty). Staff were attentive and was nice to have a hot towel after the main course. Recommend for good Bengali / Indian cuisine and perhaps to line the stomach before a night out. Wouldn’t go for a ‘date night’ again. Would definitely use their takeaway service.

This restaurant was well set out and the staff were friendly. It’s not surprising that the advert for La Aquila only gives take away prices. Most curries were £ 14 -19. The Chicken tikka Masala had coconut in it to an excessive amount. It was not what we expected!!

Excellent, good service, delicious takeaway. The meal was ready when requested, the staff were all friendly and pleasant. The portions were good and the bag was intelligently packed so the food stayed hot. We had the chom chom chicken and another chicken curry with the special jahlfrezi prawn. All tasted excellent and we were highly impressed. Will find the energy to eat in next time.

Another visit to one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. This time we decided to try something different from the chefs specials menu. Certainly glad we did. The food was amazing! A little more expensive but worth every penny. Great friendly service, fantastic atmosphere and reasonably priced. Can't wait for our next visit!!

Monday night in lymington. This was the only choice for an Indian meal. What a find. By far and away the nicest Indian I’ve had in years. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy. 10/10

Visited the best Indian restaurant in Lymington again. The lamb pathia was amazing. Great service, lovely food and all reasonably priced. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my authentic Indian dinning experience.

Delivery. Called at 9pm for a delivery order. Order taken, all seemed ok. Called again at 10pm as no delivery received. No delivery at 10.15 or 10.50, called for update. Person on phone wanted confirmation of address every time I called. Still no delivery. Finally,...

Past 10pm in Lymington there are two food options. Both Indian. we were told this was the best of the two. Greeted by extremely unfriendly member of staff. Quite funny really, he was sooo grumpy. Decided that we didn't want to keep Grumpy up any...

The restaurant was busy but they fit us in quickly. Good service and the food was lovely. I had chicken tikka biriani and my daughter had korma. We both enjoyed it. Our meal came to £43 with one starter, two mains and two soft drinks...

Fantastic food and customer Service . We really Enjoyed the chefs special dishes and the chicken dhansak Would highly recommend.

We failed to book a restaurant for Saturday night and went searching . Happened on this place by accident - they squeezed 5 of us in when others had turned us away even though they were really busy. The service was great and the tandoori...

Friendly staff, I had the lamb bhuna with naan and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was freshly prepared and had authentic taste

This is a lovely place inside, the outside is not inspiring. Beautifully decorated, clean, extensive menu, delicious food and really good staff. Very efficient and quick. We were all really impressed and enjoyed our meal immensely.

The service was good, polite staff and excellent food, I had Chicken Balti, Pilau Rice, Nan Bread and Poppadoms. I recommend a visit if you're that way in Lymington Town,..

Visit here regularly and never disappointed. Good service and food. Excellent take away service too. I’m local to Lymington so advice anyone visiting the town to try it out.

Absolutely brilliant best balti I have eaten in ages . Tender chicken great service would definitely go back

This is not Haute-Cuisine ... nor does it pretend to be. Its a good old fashioned curry house with a good menu and decent food. Its a little packed in inside ... and in a post covid world that could be disconcerting for some visitors....

it was a very funky visit to say the least. to start with our table was booked for 8:30pm, we arrived on time and walked into the small reception to be told very rudely to wait outside for five minutes, over ten minutes past and...

Whilst on a short break visited this restaurant, excellent food, authentic full of flavour well printed, service was also very good staff polite and very accommodating.

Thought we would try and eat local why on a short break with my fiancé found This place the sign on the door said opens 5.30 so turned up to be rudely greeted by a member of staff who opened the door told us they...

I had to take the time to write a review for Lal Quilla as we had amazing food here a few days ago. My husband and I are both vegetarians and we were struggling to choose a restaurant for dinner in Lymington as we thought there was a distinct lack of variety in terms of veggie options. We opted for Lal Quilla knowing that there are often a variety of vegetarian choices at Indian restaurants and we were not disappointed. We started with poppadoms and we thought all of the pickles and chutneys which came with these were excellent. For our mains we picked the Korai Subzi and the Navrattan Korma, listed on the vegetarian dishes and they were both fantastic curries (my favourite was the Korai Subzi - amazing flavours!). We also had Sag Aloo, the Narikal Bath rice and a Peshwari Nan. The service was also good throughout our meal. We live in London and we have eaten a variety of meat and vegetarian curries over the years but we were extremely impressed with the quality of the food we had at Lal Quilla. We highly recommend trying. Compliments to the chef/s on Wednesday night!

Disappointing meal. The dishes we had were far too sweet. Queried this with manager who advised that chef uses sweet chilli sauce which I thought was a bit odd for an Indian restaurant. Mixed reviews online. Seems you either get a good experience or a bad one. Pot luck.

Ordered takeaway for 4 people. It arrived slightly ahead of expected time and was piping hot, however the chicken was not nice... it was strangely textured and slightly stringy, if anything it reminded me of turkey rather than chicken! The meat in the chicken tikka massala was nothing like chicken tikka, so it was very much a chicken in tikka massala flavoured sauce, rather than chicken tikka in a massala sauce. Not good.The sauces themselves, korma and massala, were both grainy and a bit unpleasant. Naans were flat and chewy (it was takeaway, it's not easy to get decent naans), boiled rice was OK. Unfortunately overall, possibly the worse curries I can remember having for a loooong time.

2 Meals here over our 6 night stay in Lymington - this should show what great food they serve. And one of the best desi balti's I've eaten in a long time High praise as they have a lot to live up to considering that we have so many Indian restaurants in Birmingham !

Over priced food and drinks and rude staff. Worst Indian restaurant I have ever eaten in. The food was tasteless and my wife and I had different dishes and they tasted the same. Don’t go its not worth it.

Staff very friendly and we sat in a booth seat. Had a lovely meal, good service and just what we needed on a rainy day.

We had a meal here on our recent holiday in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed it even though it wasn’t what quite we were expecting when we ordered from the menu! Obviously different Indian cuisines offer different variations on things, and viva la difference!Both food and service was excellent, we would recommend and return on any future visit to Lymington and even order the same again if it is still available!

Staying in Lymington and just had a takeaway from Lal Quilla. Such quick service and wonderful food. Very good quality , tasty and pipping hot. V good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

I've used this restaurant numerous times. Unfortunately at this time you are not allowed to sit in and eat due to covid.We had another takeaway from them. Fantastic meal and great value for money. I can't really fault the place. Easily the BEST Indian restaurant in Lymington!

It saddens me to leave this review. I've been coming to Lal Quilla's for 15 years. The food is always good and the portions generous. And I gave them a chance to have a better review thanks to those 15 years. But they made 2 errors on our takeaway which ruined our evening and they refused the chance to make up for it. So you should not expect anything better yourself.My wife is loves curry but is very sensitive to chilli spices. She's fed up with Korma all the time. We found a Korai Lamb on the website "available in Hot, Medium and Mild". Via the phone, I ordered her a Mild. I had to argue with the person taking the order for 2-3 minutes to persuade him to cook her a Mild. He wanted to give her a Medium. No way. We were on a boat 20-25 min walk away so we walked to collect and then walked back. When we opened the bag, my wife's curry was labelled HOT. And, boy, was it hot. I rang up to point out the error and was offered a Chicken Makhani "in 10 Minutes" - but we'd have to wait at the marina entrance. Fine. No problem. 20 minutes later, I phoned again. "It's on its way." 50 minutes later, we gave in, walked back to the boat and cooked my wife a meal from ship's stores. Our curries were meanwhile cold and there was no microwave to reheat them. So, about 1 3/4 hour after we should have eaten, we sat down to cold curry and a tinned dinner for one.Now I could have written a poor review straight away but chose not to. I wrote to the manager, explained what happened as asked for his proposal. His reply was "We promise not to do it again." I wrote back saying "Surely not just this???". His reply was "As I said before, we promise not to do it again."The sad thing is that I could have been writing a review about how Lal Quilla made a mistake but pulled out all the stops to put things right. 5 stars. Instead, I'm saying 1 star and advising anyone considering ordering a takeaway to consider this sad tale.

Decided to book our favourite meal a curry on our last evening in Lymington.Because of convenience to where we were staying we went along for a meal. The restaurant looked nice and we ordered our starter's which to be honest weren't very nice, Dry onion bhajee and samosas.The mains were so salty you couldn't taste anything but salt!.The saving grace was the mushroom rice.Overall the food was fair wasn't up to our local resturants standards and the meal was quite expensive for what we ordered. Would say its OK for a quick curry but not a special occasion.

We all had a variety of dishes. All the food was hot and delicious and very tasty. An enjoyable evening eating and drinking. Was a very busy night but service was excellent. All staff are working very hard in the covid restrictions. Highly recommend.

I was staying in Lymington for a break with friends and we booked Lal Quila for our last night’s dinner. Firstly there was a complete violation of social distancing rules - the restaurant was completely full with very little space between the tables. Secondly the service was very poor. Thirdly the vegetarian options were limited. We waited an hour for our starters only to find that the aloo chaat bared no resemblance to the well known Indian street food and being Indians ourselves this was highly disappointing! The manager was extremely rude when we pointed this out and showed him a picture of aloo chaat telling us ‘this is not your home’. He then proceeded to tell us this was not an Indian restaurant and that it was an English restaurant indicating they were only catering for the English community. This was so embarrassing and insulting to for us. We were charged £18.10 for poppadoms, 3 cokes and a lassi drink. Totally unacceptable - we will never visit again nor recommend this to anyone.

Great service- tasty food- would highly recommend. Second time we have visited both equally impressive.

We went for a meal, he gave us the menus. Then we were told to leave and was being extremely rude to us because we were taking too long to decide what on to eat. Overpriced food, £70 for 2 meals and a bottle of wine. Won’t be back.

Food delicious !! Service ok could be better but not bad ! I went for different to my normal and I wasn’t disappointed

Stopped here at the last minute and despite a full restaurant and no booking, we were able to be seated. Service was acceptable and food arrived hot and tasty. We did not have to wait for service, food, or drinks as was stated in other reviews. Staff were helpful, but not overly ‘chatty’. Prices were reasonable. Covid track and trace and social distancing were minimal.

The food is average at best but the service is poor and to make it worse, everyone is so unfriendly. It’s like your inconveniencing them by being.

Arrived at for a booking at 8pm, ignored for 20 minutes before being seated. When we asked when we were going to be seated we were told to be quiet and wait. Arrived at the table, made to wait another 15 minutes to receive menus, drinks did not arrive for 30 mins and our order wasn't taken for a very long time. We waited around 1 hour 15 minutes for our food. The food was great, but it was ruined by our terrible service. One waiter did care about our experience, but we were only served once by him. The other young waiter would take our drinks order, snort a load of phlegm up his nose, walk away, come back asking what the order was again, snort some more phlegm, and came back a third time. Drinks were warm. This whole experience seriously put us off our food. No one sat at that table had ever experienced such awful service. It was bad. As I said, the food was good but go to Rivazz instead. Miles better than this place. Look for better staff!Spoke to a server at the end of the night, explained our frustration and he just argued instead of sympathising. Don't take a booking if you can't handle it. Wont be coming back.

Amazing Authentic Indian food!. Go there, you will be happy that you did!. Amazing Indian food cooked to perfection!. (No mutton)!. Great atmosphere, and am sure that inspector Morse would be quite at home here!................

Well what can I say.... We booked a table here for my birthday 10th August after waiting in excess of 1 hour 15 mins for 3 poppadoms we did start questioning whether we had made a bad judgement, despite this the drinks were flowing and we decided to make the best of it.... Although still waiting, we had ordered mains and kept being told they were on their way miraculously the 3 poppadoms arrived! Better late than never! So nearly 2 hours in, we are still waiting for mains after hearing copious complaints from customers at tables as well as customers coming in with issues with their takeaway order the evening was turning more into a comedy of errors and felt vaguely familiar to that of John Cleese's Fawlty Towers lol!!! The night was topped off completely when the main courses arrived with missing items incorrect items and the piste de resistance was a chicken dhansak which was never ordered, it should have been Shashlik chicken but chef didn't know how to make it????!!!!! So after 2 hours they come out with something I've not ordered and try and tell me I have to eat the dhansak!!! Safe to say it was removed from the bill and we laughed uncontrollably as there was nothing else we could do lol.... To sum it up if you could do with a giggle it was worth it for the entertainment factor.... If you want a lovely meal in a great environment do not book here

Food was excellent, although service was a bit slow which is to be expected under the current pandemic and we didn’t mind as we were out for the evening as a family. Social distancing was non existent with tables situated close together. Checked the bill and only discounted for 4 people although there were 5 of us, no discount applied to non alcoholic drinks. When queried money was taken off immediately.

The food was good however asked about eat out to help out voucher but told It had not started !!!!!!!! Despite signing up to scheme the discount not being given. Also had to check bill as was wrong in any event. Noticed others also had to query bill ....ummm

We booked a table Monday 3rd August what a disaster we the social distancing was none existent we felt very uncomfortable people were steaming in for takeaways and they totally forgot about the people that where waiting for there meal after one hour we got our starter which was cold another half an hour passed and we’d had enough we settled or expensive bill they even charged us for warm to water if this is what you get when you try and support local hospitality you can forget it my partner’ has worked for the nhs all through this pandemic people are still losing their lives out there in my opinion in people carry on being totally ignorant to it we will be back again

Recently visited for the first time, great meal with excellent original side dishes, made to feel welcome which was nice in current Covid climate. Come from an area predominantly Bangladesh Indians which I prefer but this is as good as I have had, tremendous hot curry!

Our hotel's restaurant shut at 6 so we decided on a takeout. Ordered at 7.40. Told 30 to 40 minutes but took an hour. Other guests eating in were overheard mentioning slow service. The restaurant was full until 8.45. However, the wait was worth it. The vegetarian curry was full of a variety of veg, and the aubergine and capsicum special sides were really good. Would use again but prebook.

Well...there we were !!!...the Everso Lucky 13 Curry Munchers, back with Mr Raja for our first Barton Probus Dining Club event of the year, at Lal Quilla : stacks of poppadoms, piles of pilau rice and the bestest curry in town : service a little slow but well worth waiting for : great atmosphere, very friendly and well looked after by Mr Raja and "usake ladake".....shukriya

We went to Lal Quilla after seeing it while walking through Lymington, The decor is very modern and pleasant, We found the service to be excellent and the food was really delicious. I would go as far to say it was the best indian/banglidash meal we have had in a very long time. We will definitely return on our next visit to the New Forest

Called by chance after a long day and had a wonderfully tasty meal. Owner/Manager & staff were very welcoming, attentive and very polite .........what a lovely change. Food was excellent & ambience of the restaurant was lovely too. Defo recommend a visit for anyone in the area.

Good value for money, very friendly staff. Never been disappointed with a take away from here. Would recommend.

Had a fabulous dinner tried some of the chefs specials rather than the usual dishes.Was well worth it.Delicious.Very quiet when we visited which was a shame because the food really was authentic.

Great Indian mealCame here on a Tuesday evening for an early dinner. The food was fantastic - a good selection of the usual stuff and some house specials. Really enjoyed it - possibly the best Indian food I have had in the Whole life.and we been told newly decorated it looks wonderful once you take a step inside,Very warmly welcomed,Cost are very reasonable,Service 8/10Food 10/10

We found the food ok but nothing special. Reasonably priced, staff friendly and service fairly prompt.

Came here as the other Indian in Lymington was fully booked on Saturday night. One or two dishes were good, most average and a couple poor. Service inattentive but competent. Slightly laughable attempt to solicit a positive review as we departed. Manager most obviously not a people person...

Was looking forward to a nice Indian family meal , I don’t normally rate badly but we waited 1 hr four the starter that was ok food wise then waited another 45 minutes after finishing the starter for the main meal , the two main prawn dishes were tasteless and cold , we also had chicken tikka masala which was also cold , the nan bread came up 10 minutes after the main meal , we had a jug of water got the children two of the four glasses were dirty and we didn’t use them , we would never go back there , theres a better Indian restaurant in Milford on sea , which I will rate next time we go , but extremely disappointed with this restaurant.

I was at a celebration dinner with a group of mature business and professional gents. Our dinner took 1 hour 50 minutes to arrive.At approx 1 hour 45 minutes one of my colleagues broached the subject with the front of house manager. The manager was having non of this and stated to my fellow guest that he (we) did not understand what it took to run a restaurant as we all worked behind desks and kept office hours. This was not a wise thing to say to my colleague who runs his own business. Equally my fellow diners also found this offensive. The manager continued his stance and was clearly annoyed with us as a group for "complaining".Our food then arrived which was actually quite good. I was the last of my group to leave, but feeling that some recognition should be made for the good meal, I began to thank the manager.I might have well as been hurling insults at him. He made it perfectly clear that he was not interested and was thoroughly unhappy with us as customers. I hastily retreated and left him to his now almost empty restaurant.I do not know what went wrong at this restaurant on this evening. You can blame poor business performance on many things, but having a go at perfectly reasonable mature people who have waited for going on 2 hours for service is no way to manage. I say this as a business owner myself.Return visit?. Highly unlikely.Should you visit?. Yes, if you want an OK indian.Definately Yes if you want to see a latterday Basil Fawlty in action. Good Luck!.

6 of us went for a meal after a days sailing. We were given a table which would have been better for 4, a spare table at the side of us could have been butted up to it (we used this to put some of our side dishes on). The food was OK a little heavy on the food colourings, which isn't necessary.

Went with my wife and mother. Bit of a wait for drinks and pompadoms at 6.15pm. Initial waiters were efficient but needed to smile more. Meal was a good standard and tasty. Restaurant got a lot busier as evening went on. Suggest pre booking if 7pm onwards. Lamb required longer slower cooking. Good varied choice on the menu.

We visited for a mid-week take-away. Easy to order by telephone and only 30 minutes before our meal as ready for collection. Friendly restaurant staff chatted whilst we were waiting to collect. Good value, tasty meal for a family of five.

Poor service, bad food, rude owner, avoid this at all costs!!!! Our food was nearly two hours late prioritising takeaways (14 in total). Manager was rude including insults towards a friend of mines proffesion! I’m embarrassed as to what this place has become, as a local born and bred this infuriates me!!! I will never go again!!

Was looking forward to a nice Indian family meal , I don’t normally rate badly but we waited 1 hr four the starter that was ok food wise then waited another 45 minutes after finishing the starter for the main meal , the two main prawn dishes were tasteless and the chicken tikka masala was only at best lukewarm , we had a jug of water , two out of the four glasses were dirty , definitely will never go their again , very sub standard to what I’m used to and at a lower price.

We visited this restaurant for the first time and will definitely visit again when in the town. Quick service, tasty dishes. I struggled to pick something from the menu as they all sounded so appealing. Good value for money.

We didn’t set out for a Monday night curry but, our visit to Lymington turned up a most unexpected little gem.

Had a meal here on 6th August 2019 but were not pleased with the food. My husband and I ordered completely different meals but they actually tasted the same. Thepoppadoms were not fresh and the pickles were not very appetising. When asked if we had enjoyed the meal, we said "no". The waiter said he would inform the chef. We were given a complimentary glass of Baileys, presumably as an apology. I would not recommend this restaurant.

We went as a four for supper. The meals we chose were all delicious and quite different from each other. The staff were friendly and willing and very polite. We had been before with a large number and felt the restaurant was better suited to small groups. Delicious and we will go again!

We visited here on a Saturday during a weekend away in Lymington.

My wife and I booked 630pm on a Saturday evening, we were greeted with a smile..we had a nice table not squashed in which seems to be the way at the moment.

Me and my family went to this amazing restaurant for a night out. The service was outstanding and we had a great time. Would recommend to anyone who loves Indian food and wants a great night out in Lymington!

Well where do we start have been a couple of times and had a look at some of the reviews and to be honest I think this Restaurant is better off with out these Morons that give bad reviews we had a couple of days away just to chill out on the Wednesday while we were out on the moor we decided to revisit the Lal Quilla Restaurant in Lymington high street we booked for 7 o'clock we were greeted by the owner and taken to our seats it's very spacious and the decor is lovely my wife had a vegetable Somoza and I had a meat Somoza then came a lovely Korma for my wife and I had a spicy lamb Jalfrazi after we polished that lot off we didn't have any room for puds it was one of the lovely meals we have had and to finish off we were given a couple of Baileys very nice too comes highly recommended not to be missed five stars all round we look forward to going back

Popped in here on a Monday evening early 6.30 absolutely packed which was a good sign Had very prompt service with the most delicious food Would highly recommend

My daughter and I ate here and as regular curry eaters we were delighted by the breadth and variety of dishes available. We each had a chicken based curry that were completely different, extremely tasty and plenty of it too. With garlic naans and simple started we were more than happy. And full. We were well looked after by the staff too. Highly recommended.

Poor food tasteless and unpleasant... cramped table .... no atmosphere .... unhelpful and rude staff ....

Thought we would give this restaurant a try Saturday night. The service was too casual and at times slapdash. Thought the food was pretty tasteless, felt disappointed all round. Did not like the toilet at all!

This was my favourite place for some years. But, this meal (an the last few) have been really disappointing. Plus, the service was slow and not too friendly. Won't be in a rush to go again. Food wasn't dreadful, but not great like it used to be.

Terrible service. We booked a table and when we turned up were told to wait "over there." Fifteen minutes later we were eventually given a table. After we sat down we had napkins and cutlery literally thrown on the table in our general direction Our custom was so obviously a chore to the head waiter we got up and left, never to return.

We visited this restaurant couple of months ago , we kindly asked if we could bring our small well behaved dog in , they kindly agreed and we all all had a fabulous meal , unfortunately we tried to make a booking Sunday 20th of January for a table of 8 , again with our small well behaved dog and was a clear no ! I said we were here a couple of months ago and he said they are new owners ?? True ? Empty restaurant , clearly didn’t need the custom! We travelled up the high street and had a fabulous meal at rivazz ! Our new favourite

Frequently come here and it has always delivered, staff treat you like family and can't do enough for you, I will always come here purely for the service but the food is fantastic as well. 10/10

Visit here frequently and the quality of food and service never fails to disappoint. Recommendations are always provided if needed from staff who really know what they are talking about. I’ll always recommend.

Regularly order takeaways from here as well as the occasional sit in visits, food is always great - always consistent taste wise which is important, great service, and always nice and hot when you go home to serve up.

We stopped here with our friends for a lunch. They were advertising a three course lunch for £8.50.

We stopped for lunch and chose the special 3 course menu. The choice was limited but there was no problem each of us finding something. There was certainly enough to eat and it was tasty. I would return.

Went for a day trip to Lymington Market and checked out this place at the bottom of the hill. Took note of lunch serving times, and decided to come back later. Walked up and down the hill again, and arrived for lunch at 1.15 (this on a Saturday). Told they had finished serving and were closed. No apology. Pretty aggressive actually. Needless to say, we will give this a wide berth in future which is a shame as the place looked promising and other reviews sounded good. Their loss - plenty of good eating options in Lymington including another good Indian further up the hill.

I’m sad to see some recent poor reviews as we have been coming to this restaurant on and off for as long as it’s been open and always loved it. We no longer live in the UK but always have a meal here when we visit and we are always remembered by the owner and the food has always been fabulous. Our meal last night with family was great as usual and the restaurant was full but have to admit there were some service issues with what appeared to be new staff. Hopefully these issues will be resolved ASAP.

The table for eight was booked over a week in advance. We waited over two and a half hours to get our main meal and they were unedable as they had been sat under a hot lamp and totally dried out. I would not even Fed that to a pig. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE BADLY LET DOWN
