Little India in New Forest

This was a takeaway which we have used for many years. The food is always fresh and there is lots of it. Thank you and keep doing what you do x

Gutted they closed. Was our go to curry house. When they got it right it was bang on. When they got it wrong, which wasn't often, it was average. They where always friendly, price was reasonable, delivery was always quick as poss and they will be missed.

Ordered a take away using the online app. Was ready when they said it would be, great food and surprisingly busy for take aways, very reasonably priced too.

Congratulations, best Indian in Totton. Food is delicious and the service is great.

Absolutely fantastic food lovely staff very good deals very fast delivery service would highly recommend

It was absolutely shocking we waited over 2 hours for our food that never came they are based in Totton I'm in lordshill a 10 min drive away when I called they said the food would be 2 minutes it didn't arrive had to call again to get a very rude and unprofessional response I really wouldn't recommend this place the menu is even spelt incorrectly that says it all they should be ashamed of their customer service I'm digusted

Ordered online. Said on the app it’s been delivered after being late for 40 minutes (no notice that it’s going to be late) so I called and was told it’s just leaving to be delivered and that they’re not robots. Charming.

Absolutely awful experience, the lady who answers the phone is probably the rudest person I have ever had the privilege of speaking to, was told my delivery should be 45 minutes to a hour so when I called after a hour and half to be told its not left yet and the delivery driver can only do so many miles per hour and was very rude saying I need to wait my turn? Your offering a service of take away food with delivery, if you can't handle the amount of orders then maybe hire another delivery driver and whilst your advertising I would hire another person to answer your phone as the incompetent women who answers and takes the order is just an idiot. Many thanks, One very annoyed customer.

I am currently an inpatient at a nearby hospital and a few of us wanted a Indian for tea so ordered at 5pm for 8pm a £100 order and the food was perfect. Every single item was bang on! The breads where excellent. The only issue we had was at 8:15pm I called to find out how long it would be and we had to wait another 15 minutes then it arrived but the lady on the phone was very apologetic and these things happen so. Prefer to wait longer for quality than get poor quality faster. 100% recommended 👌

Honestly if I could give no stars I would, absolutely appalling service, food was stone cold I called to rectify the issue with the restaurant and spoke to the "alleged manager" who told me it's normal for the meals to be luke warm on a Friday evening? I fully understand your busy and I appreciate it's Friday evening but that is such a pathetic excuse if you can't handle the amount of orders does it not make sense to either employ more staff or maybe reject orders? When asked for a refund I was informed if the dishes have been opened then a refund can not be offered, I'm sorry but how do you expect anyone to check their food if they can not open it? Also the Bhajis are harder than Ronnie Kray.

The change in this takeaway is shocking. Used to be the only Indian I'd recommend, but after a few bad meals didn't use for a while; thought we'd try again, only to receive one of the worst meals to date. Korma so watery and not at all creamy, the chicken was slimy (couldnt work out if just cheap chicken or undercooked!), naan bread like uncooked dough and very stodgy. Mixed grill was bland; the only food I would class as edible was the potato. This was our go-to Indian takeaway for so many years; So disappointed, needless to say we won't be returning.

Great food but the onion bhajis came a bit cold… other than that tastes great!

Lovely service, the staff are so kind and caring and the food was delicious

Lovely little place, great service, food was amazing... Credit to Ahmed and his team for welcoming us .. Will definitely be back..

WHAT. A. GEM.! I've honestly had just about the absolute best Indian food I've enjoyed in a long, long time. Been down here for 30 odd years, and had meals at a fair number of restaurants and from takeaways, but Little India has just restored my faith in pure quality Indiancuisine at its true best.

Very disappointed!! We order from here from time to time, our Saturday night takeaway this time was poor, told would be 45mims, had to chase it up after what was nearly double that, one and half hours our food arrived, no writing on the main dishes to Indicate what it was but didn’t really matter as both of them tasted the same and very bland, food was not even Luke warm, naan bread was completely doughy and almost inedible, no apology from the delivery guy due to waiting double the time for it to arrive, didn’t finish our food we ordered as just tasted wrong and put us off, won’t be using little India again!

Awful! Takeaway delivered full of grease, the brown bag containing the food broke into the plastic carrier bag, food inedible, was embarrassing as we had guests, do not recommend!

Very tasty food, in particular there onion bhaji

I love little India I went there on Sunday with my grandkids the best tika masala I’ve had in my life!

Ordered a takeaway at 6.45, didn't turn up until 9.45. We were initially advised the wait would be 1 hour

Well, I think I will need to change my curry house as just had the worst Curry ever. Very watery and tasteless.

The chef dus not know the difference between Korma and Tika masala sent order out twice Still did not know difference between lamb and chicken and all the manager can say its the same dish really Korma and tika masala same dish if it was why ave it on the menu just put our tika and Korma is the same lamb and chicken is the same we all know chickens have 2 legs Sheep have 4 that telling you something is not wright all thay can say take it up with user not us we cook for them Something is not wright

Ordered through Uber eats - surprised at portion size 1 curry could of fed both of us. Cheese nan could do with some attention just tasted like a plain nann but I will order again.

Ordered food from Little India and as always, amazing portions and really tasty food. Never had a bad meal and we always collect to ensure freshness and its quicker. Polite and friendly staff and have been using for many years and will continue to do so. Prices have recently gone up by around 20% but considering Covid and that they were cheap before I'd still pay it however it was a bit of a shock as we had used an old price list!

Delivery took ages and when food arrived portion sizes were terrible and tasted horrendous we will never go there again

Awful. Full of grease could not eat one dish. Try to tell them and they put the phone down on me.

Very disappointed ordered meal 18.30 in New Year eve for delivery at 8pm never show up even after 3h try to call several times lines busy obviously was busy on this special day .We was a regular customer leave only couple min away Shame on you I will never order again from them .

Awful. Waiting over 2 hours for food kept phoning and mostly never got through when I did get through poor excuses were made such as we didn't realize we would be busy tonight. It's new years eve one of the busiest nights for takeaway how can you not see you were going to be busy! When the food finally came it was stone cold and hairs were found within one of the curries and the other curry was so thin it may as well have been water. Absolutely disgusting customer service and terrible food which is a shame as this use to be our goto Indian.

Don’t not but absolutely crap! No flavour terrible service too! I ordered with Uber absolute shambles

Always get a nice meal and good service, been going here for the last 8 years.

Been having Indian take aways from Little India for last 2 years. Every meal has been excellent. Very good portion sizes, always hot. Polite and friendly in restaurant. Catered for daughter who doesnt like the spice and for me who does. Shame some others can't identify it.

We loved our Garlic Chilli King Prawn and Spicy Beef Madras. The food is always piping hot & delivered with a smile. The lemon rice, chana aloo, papadums & nan bread was greatly value for money and we will definitely be ordering another take-away. Thank you.

My duck Jalfrezy and Lemon rice was top notch. I also loved the garlic aloo and Peshawari nan that was delvered fresh to my door. Take away is essential now we are in lock down and can no longer go for restuarant meals. Ash is always friendly and his curries, the best in Totton.

We stopped here last night and got a takeaway. Curry full of oil, hard chewy meat, the naan bread was a strange colour (looked like it had been defrosted) but had area of wet dough, stale popadoms! £40 for rice as that was the only thing we could eat. Do not go near this place.

Very tasty , it was ready to collect when they said .

Ordered a take away from here this evening. Came with a hair cooked in naan bread, phoned to complain was shouted at and hung up on. Phoned back asked to speak to the manager, manager was the same person as before and again shouted at hung up on. Refused refund. Told was nothing I could do.

Excellent takeaway , always of a high quality and very tasty. Can recommend the Dansak . Staff are brilliant

Lovely food, always very tasty and piping hot when it arrives. Would definitely recommend

The best Indian restaurant in Totton

Have ordered many times ,no problems good food.will use again in the future.very nice tasting lorna.

Been there 3 times to eat. Cannot fault the service or staff. Ignore the bad reviews. Just ordered a delivery 26-04-2019. Great value. Recommended

To be fair, it's a Monday, before 19:00 and I was the only person there, which added to the sense of bleakness in the decor. The starter was a good example of a chaat and the peshwari naan very good. my Tindaloo however, was very average.

We eat in there every week. Food is always excellent. I try different meals from the menu, every now & then, and never been dissappointed. The staff are always up for a laugh.... In fact at at the moment, we're trying to teach them Spanish!!!

If your looking for a decent curry in Totton then you really do have one problem! Which one to try first? Some are fancy looking restaurants that have had a lot of money spent on their interiors, and some are pretty basic takeaways, some you can see the food being cooked, but most you can't. So where do you start? I have lived in Totton for nearly 2 years now and apart from one I have tried ALL OF THEM. I have tried quite a few different things on the menu and while I can honestly say that none have been bad some are alot better then others. LITTLE INDIA has come out on top for me personaly and make no mistake i am writing this review of my own free will. Im a man who will alway write a good review where i consider i am getting good service, and im a man who pertty much demands it. LITTLE INDIA is a restaurant and a takeaway, it has a bar that serves alcoholic drinks, but unlike a lot of restaurants ( quite rare in the UK) it operates an option of BYO (bring you own) which means you can buy your own alcoholic drinks from wherever you want and bring them to the restaurant to drink with your mean. I have tried many dishes on their menu from mild to very hot and they have always been exceptionally good. My favs currently are the extra creamy korma and the coconut nan breads. On top of the fact that I believe they serve at least as good a food as any of the others in town you will actually notice they are one of the cheapest. My advice is try them first, check their prices but more importantly check the way they look after you, they certainly know about service, and remember you can take your own drinks if you so wish. I hope this review helps anyone to have an enjoyable curry in Totton.

Had a take away from hear, the guy delivers which is spot on, especially when raining! Has in the past missed an item out but rectified it very well so can’t grumble! Would / do use again!

my partner and I decided to give this Indian,local to us as we had a leaflet through our door. We were looking forward to it,all day. 41.00 later,the samosa no bigger than a baby Palm and onion bhaji,1 each? what if there was the 4 of us? the food arrived cold,tandoori mixed grill enough for a small person and the nan bread,cold. we had to salt n pepper everything just to taste some heat and spice. never again,disappointed to say the least and what a waste of money,1 hr delivery time!! my guess,put food was waiting to be delivered. we did call and complain and offered discount but will not be ordering poor quality,small portion food for the price at this business.

Great little Indian restaurant. Decor is a little shabby but the food and service was excellent. Very friendly staff. Will be returning!

After copious amounts of cider basking in the glorious sun we decided to try this little gem. On a Saturday evening with just a call we were in. On arrival we were a little sceptical as it seemed very quiet but when we got inside there was people everywhere. I have to say the “chicken tikka madras “ is one of the best dishes I’ve had outside of Delhi, the food was so flavoursome and a good size. Drinks were a bit steep but wow the food was fantastic and all in all so glad we came. We will definitely try and get there again. On a plus they offer delivery so who knows we may have found a new local

I order a chicken tikka masala and after I played it up it separated in curry and a pool of water. I phoned I they told me it was condensation from the lid. After protesting and asking for a refund they hung up on me. When I called back they did the same thing. Eventually they told me they would come around and smash my windows as they knew my address. I had to call the police, over a £5 curry. A bad curry is one thing and refusing to refund, but to threaten a household and smash windows especially when I have a little 2 yr old and my wife inside. Unbelievable.

My curry arrived, when I plated it up a pool of water started coming out of the chicken tikka masala (almost a full cup). When my husband called to ask for a refund for only the masala not the other dishes, the person on the phone argued about why he was 'so bothered about £5' and handed the phone to a very confused lady in the restaurant!? After being hung up on repeatedly and getting no where one of the staff in the restaurant stated that he was going to come to our house and BREAK OUR WINDOWS as he knew where we lived!!! We ended up having to call the police as we were so concerned. I will never ever buy a takeaway from little India again.

Went back at the weekend for a takeaway after a disappointment a few months ago. I had a delicious curry & naan bread, service was good & he even offered money off for cash! Unfortunately I didn't have enough on me but was nice that he offered... Will definitely be going back!

The worst curry (if you can call it a curry...with no spices/flavour) I have ever had in over 50 years. I complained and they kindly sent another curry but unfortunately I had to call again to say it was only marginally better than the first one, as still extremely mild and I had asked for medium to hot. I did offer the delivery guy to taste the curry they'd provided but he declined. I wasn't going to put a negative review but I don't take kindly to having the phone put down on me...rude manners. Positve criticism should be welcome as I did start the conversation with I'd always enjoyed their curries in the past. Highly recommend 'Nicoles' as they make your curry how you like it.

I've never had cause to comment on the food whether it be a take away or sit down from here before however after recently ordering a take-away and then last night having a meal in their restaurant then I felt compelled to write in. My Son and I visited and we were welcomed warmly by Ash (The Manager).

Grabbed our takeaway from here after returning from holiday . The food was lovely i can recommend the biryani . My partner asked for the hottest curry possible and they were happy to accommodate. Would def eat from here again

It's not a fast food so it means that its not pre prepared and just warmed up for you like some of the other places I've ordered from. On a busy night it does take a while but its worth it. One of the best chicken balti ever ;)

I have had several takeaways from here before but this is the first time I have eaten here.

I have visited all the Indian restaurants in Totton and Southampton and little india wins hands down.

Just had a meal delivered, cold and disgusting. Apparently I'll have a discount on my next meal, which will be never.

First time ordering with them on a Saturday night. Was told up to 90 minutes delivery. Not a problem, have a couple of drinks, if it turns up earlier great, if not, can't complain... If it's busy it must be good...

no atmosphere, food mediocre at best, never again, sometimes i wonder how they can keep going there as it is empty most of the time

Three of us met up for dinner here on a Friday evening. We'd previously got together several times at 'the other place just up the road' but had been disappointed with the service there so thought we'd give this a try instead.

Took over 40mins to arrive and is bland. Tastless. Not even slightly spicy. Bombay potatoes may aswell just be boiled. Sag has no flavour at all. Very dissapointed. Will not go back.

Este sitio es mi local y han utilizado por años, así que el hecho de que vuelva debe decir algo! No es del todo un restaurante pijo, pero a quién le importa! ! La comida es buena y muy coherente. Ash el director es muy acogedor y se crean incluso un plato, incluso si no está en el menú, he comido en muchos restaurantes indios de toda Europa y este sitio es mi señal para todo el mundo! Mi plato favorito aquí es pollo tikka dahnsak con ajo, arroz y peshwari nann, aunque a lo largo de los años me he comido todo el menú, excepto el muy caliente. Todo a un precio muy razonable y también a domicilio.

Consistently great food. We won't order from anyone else!

We have dined twice in the restaurant and the food was delicious and freshly cooked, the food was hot out of the pan. The staff were friendly and the service was quick . We loved the warm and friendly atmosphere and we will definately be dining at Little India many more times

La comida aquí es realmente excelente, el entorno sencillas pero confortables y el personal muy amable. Este ha sido un lugar para comer, pero esta fue nuestra primera visita en un rato. Me impactó el recordatorio de lo bueno es la comida (y comimos en un montón de restaurantes indios y bangladesíes). El menú es bastante estándar, con algunos excelentes ofertas, pero es delicioso. Cordero tikka dhansak para morirse, excelentes platos laterales con sabor de ajo asado encantador; pan naan; muy bien mezclado kebab. Encantador - venir y probar por ti mismo

Pedimos una al vindaloo para la entrega. Sabes. Que curry que está destinado a ser mega caliente y llenos de sabor.

Absolutely amazing food in good prices friendly staff

We don't often have a Indian but if we do we sit in for a meal which is always fantastic. but today after a long day and not really wanting to go out we decided to phone for delivery which we have never done before here. after taking my order I was told it would be 30 mins and it was absolutely smack on time. Fantastic food, piping hot, fantastic service will definitely be using delivery more often unless I fancy a few Indian beers while I'm eating.

Nadie IR A LITTLE INDIA EN TOTTON! ! Pedimos una llevar desde allí esta noche, nos dijeron que 45 minutos estaban bien. Una hora más tarde se convierte, helada. Llamarlos y él nos ofrece una comida gratis mañana? ? Pues no me gustaría curiosamente esta...

No picante suficiente, pensé que era demasiado caro para la calidad de la comida, el personal amable, con la opción de comer o tomar. Sólo utilizamos una vez, pero nunca más, todo el mundo como su propia selección sabor donde la comida es afectado.

The food in here is amazing. They do the best chicken Korma that I have ever tasted. Very friendly and nice staff. The restaurant is extremely tidy and it is definitely a place I would recommend to friends and family. I give Little India 5 stars this is 100% the best Indian in Totton. If you haven't tried this before I would suggest you give it a try.

We ordered another home delivery but remembered not to order the Keema Naan which had v little mince, just gooey dough. The order arrived spot-on the estimated time by polite staff. My Chicken Korma with plain boiled rice was good, though had big meat "cubes". The Aloo Gobi was tasteless and the cauliflower very hard. 1 Onion Baji consisted of 4 tiny bright red balls. Poppadoms ok and we ordered 3 pickles: onion, mango chutney and mint sauce. Not sure what we got: 2 mint sauce, 1 bag of v. plain salad, 2 bags of sliced onions and no mango chutney, just something that resembled bright red jam with masses of chemicals? My friend opted for a Chef's Recommendation based on lamb. It bore no resemblance to anything, just a mish-mash of big "cubes" of lamb in a mass of vegetables, esp. stained brown peas, with little taste. He also ordered a "safe" Chicken Dupiaza but it was more big cubes of some meat, slightly nicer than the chef's dish but ...no. Shame, because they deliver to our area but...not a pleasant meal and never again.

For special occasions we eat elsewhere, but for evenings where we want good food, friendly service, with no fuss, this is the place. It also has the advantage that it is mainly used locally as a takeaway, so there always seems to be a table at short notice. Perfect venue for those "can't be bothered cooking" moments!It is on a street with two excellent Indian takeaways, and the food is of the same standard as both of them - in some ways better. Parking is easy if you know to go up the side road (it is on a corner), but there is often an on-street option.Bar area is ok and have always found the staff very friendly. The owner remembers us, even thou we probably only go there 4 or 5 times a year. Menu contains all "standard" Indian dishes you would expect from a small restaurant plus a selection of specials. But the standards are cooked well, and portions that are enough without going over the top - so a starter, main course, vegetable and rice is more than enough. Add a nan bread if you are starving. My current meal of choice there is mixed kebab, followed by lamb tikka dhansak, mushroom rice and Bombay potato or vegetable bhajee. Well cooked lamb, firm but not chewy, and lovely roast garlic and black onion seed taste in the potato. The restaurant area is plain but functional, and very relaxed. They understand when you want to be left alone but are also happy to talk. Good rating for food and people, only reservation is the decor means we come here for unplanned relaxed excellent food, not to celebrate anything. Takeaway service is excellent.

Originally gave this place 4 stars but now I'll give it a wide birth! Ordered again and 2 pieces of meat in my rogan and rice oily! Next time I Asked for chefs special rezalla and asked about it which was a mistake as they obviously took advantage and sent me out (what I know is) the curry from the cheap complimentary bombay potato sauce they do, none of the rezalla ingredients in it. Cutting corners on £ and effort. Cheeky and sly! Will never go back now. I'd have thought winning customers over was important but obviously not. I shouldn't have based my original 4 star review on my first visit. Naive of me.

having used this restaurant for many years eating in.we decided to have a takeaway. we were told 45 minutes to 1hour wait. that was ok. However 1 hour 45 mins we were still waiting. We were told it left the shop 25 mins earlier. When we got the food it was cold. They offered to recook the meal. but we didn't want to wait another 45 mins. The offer was to sort something out next time. but when that was put to the test it was not followed through. We and our friends will never use the restaurant again.

We have recently been helping some friends of ours. As a thank you for helping them they decided to take us out for a meal. They booked this Indian resteraunt as they pass it quit regularly but have never tried it. When they told us where we were going I obviously looked it up on trip advisor. The reviews were not great but my wife and i were on a free-be so why not? Well i can honestly say the staff are useless, the manager cant be bothered and the food is of poor quality? Why do people open a resteraunt with no intention of trying to be successful. Even other bad Indian restaurants are at least pleased to have custom. Not here why bother?????????

Visited first time since this full service restaurant with normal cursory 10% takeaway service discount opened back in February 2015 ....Overall experience not bad.Location not so good but the old pub refurbishment has worked & the seating & bar areas look good with some atmosphere if there are other guests in ! ( which at 8.00pm there were none ? )Takeaway tel' order process no problem - quick & efficient with total cost confirmed etc.25 minute we pecked wait time predicted on ordering & it was all ready + correct on collection from a very confident pair of guys on the bar. Good natured & complimentary poppadums / dip & salad included ....... not bad , but expected perhaps when prices are above average !?.Food quality good with recipes / taste reflecting on line descriptions etc. Portion sizes / meat / fish content could be better to add value overall but all four of us agreed that we have had worse Indians .....Would we return for takeaway ? - yes.Would we book restaurant - probably not as we prefer Anooka at Salisbury.

My husband and I both went for a lamb curry. I ordered lamb tikka biriani and he had lamb dupiaza. I'm not even sure what meat it was!! Tasted like a cross between lamb and beef! Both our curries had pretty much no flavour, we both love Indian food but this food was so bland that neither of us could finish it.

Was expecting a great meal after the most revent meals. But sadly nothing got my taste buds stimulated. Stayed with the chef's recommendations. The presentation and quantities were good enough and staff pleasant enough, with decor about right and ckean. The food just didn't do anything for me. The take away business was doing a roaring trade. Would I go back again, probably not as I came away a bit dissatisfied.

It's actually very difficult to come across a takeaway that's above average. I thought I'd try a new Indian in my area and from experience thought I was brave taking the risk. But Little India in Totton impressed me a lot. The chicken in my Jalfrezi was very good quality and fresh. The peppers were very sweet and the chilli was perfect. None of the orders from the group I was with were at all greasy or oily which can sometimes be a problem with takeaways. The only reason I don't give it a 5 is because I rarely give full ratings, only when I'm swept off my feet!

Had a take away tonight chicken Vindi and chicken madras we had it delivered , food was awful tasteless and the curry full of water stay away from this one

Cheap curry, plenty of food, excellent value. If you don't fancy a take away I would recommend eating her

Absolutely tasty as. Great portions and a quick attentive service throughout the evening. Well done by all.

We went here for a joint stag/hen do. I booked one month in advance. They had no staff, we waited two hours to be served food which was terrible. Half of us didn't even get food at all. Dirty place terrible food a massive disappointment. We live local and would never go back x

Can only comment on a couple of the choices as I've found what is now one of my favourite meals of all time. Onoin Bahjee starter - perfect texture and flavour and no greasier than necessary (9/10); All the Byriani's - missing it's little egg omelette thing and is slightly greasy, but every single one has been absolutely delicious (9/10); All the Madras's - could be a bit spicier but that is all (9.5/10); Chicken Tikka Ceylon - was absolutely spot on (10/10); Various Na'an Breads - can't quite decide what isn't too hot about these but they're not quite my favourite (3.5/10). Also, had an order delivered a few weeks ago and I'm certain they bent space-time as the order was delivered in less than 20 minutes! Overall, definitely 100% use this one over any of the others - and in particular: Onion Bahjee starter, Tandoori Chicken Byriani with a Madras Sauce instead of the vegetable, Shed load of poppadoms. You will not regret it!

I've been using Little India for about 5 years now. The food is great and the staff are friendly.Their Chicken Tikka Dhansak is sublime!

No wonder why I'm the first reviewer. It is that no one really bothers with the restaurant bit and just orders the take away from home? Well I wasn't in the know, so I'm going to save you from the same fate.We sat for 15minutes before we moaned at the lone server to get us some menus (I ask you!)Then we went through 4 wines on the list, only to be told (after he'd gone looking for each one) that they didn't have any. The lone server was trying to serve us, take phone orders, give out orders for collection and serve the only other table in the place. All told, we sat for 40 minutes: one of us had a beer, a few of us had water and everyone else was ignored. We were a party of 5. It was such a farce that we left and found a far better place.

Not a bad little local restaurant cheap and cheerful good takeaway service

Wouldn't eat out of here again, poor food and not very nice.
