Madhuban in East Hampshire

The said it would be with us in 45 minutes to an Hour, I received a notification on the App that inferred that I had received the order. I had not. I rang the restaurant and while I was on the phone it arrived.

This was a Saturday night , early evening, and busy restaurant but not at capacity. Could not work out whether the service for mains was slow or they actually just give you time to sit and talk! Food was good quality and reasonable size portions, but not to my liking, everyone else really enjoyed theirs . Would I go again, yes, I think I picked the wrong dish!

Food was very tasty and plenty of meat in the portion . Also still nice and warm when it arrived

Popped in for first curry in a while and was not disappointed. Friendly service & very reasonable prices. My friend had Railway Chicken & I had a lamb jalfrezi..both wonderful dishes. Will return again soon.

We visited the madhuban for the first time and it definitely won't be our last. Great food, good atmosphere and very friendly staff. We will definitely be back

Amazing authentic food, impeccable service. I love the food here and the staff are incredible. Try the Zeera Murgh!

Wry nice food with friendly staff

Nice food. Struggled to find my house

Food as usual very well presented and tasty. I was offered alternatives from what was on the menu as couldn't decide between two dishes, so they made something to my taste which I appreciated. The service is always welcoming and attentive throughout. Best Indian restaurant in the local area that I always return to, so would recommend 👌

Ordered a takeaway via Uber Eats. One order was wrong and food frankly tasted like it had been made a few days ago and reheated. Particularly salmon tikka and lamb tikka were really dry and chewy. Aubergine dish pretty oily. Garlic naan was like it had been microwaved. I will say the Chana masala was great though

Always consistent and good. Staff very friendly especially Bedar

The food was cold the masala was watery and not like it normally is when my partner collects

A great restaurant! Delicious food and relaxed atmosphere. Always a brilliant meal!

Great service - what’s super team!

Thank you making our meal with friends so pleasurable. The food was delicious and your staff provide excellent customer service with attention to detail.

Always a warm welcome from Bedhar and his staff. I've been coming for many years and am so thankful we have this jewel in Liss. I open the menu each time for inspiration which sometimes strikes but my favourite is the lamb Mahuban special. Thanks for being a culinary delight in deep Hampshire.

We have been dining, at fairly regular intervals, since Lodue and Bedar opened. We have never had a bad meal and, in fact, have introduced many friends too. Tasty, authentic dishes, genuine friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic find food is a 10 out of 10 service was great good choice of drinks bedar the front man is such a lovely guy highly recommended

It was an amazing experience having a dinner with my friends . The atmosphere of the restaurant is very good . Food was delicious. Definitely coming back again .

We had booked table of 12 from poppadoms starters main and afters took 45 minutes you go out to have a nice evening not to be rushed because they have booked the tables for another sitting, chicken tikka starter was cold dry and tough definitely not cooked freshly I would say precooked and microwaved to warm up will definitely not be returning they are more interested in making money than making good food

Made very welcome. Great service and excellent food.

Wonderful evening here tonight. Made to feel really special. Super friendly, smart service. Amazing food. Thank you!

We had a large order . The food was bland and not hot . Really disappointed as it was brothers birthday . They were too busy for any form of structure . The bill also was well in excess of £160

Delicious food and atmosphere .Staff was friendly and punctual. Recommended to come and enjoy food

Ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening out with family 😎The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to come back”

Lovely lunch time meal. Food and service was great.

Amazing food and very friendly staff.

This place is the best Indian place i ever been too! Been going for years now I love it. Staff are lovely and the food incredible I order take out aswel and is always great in fact we are getting it tonight!

Amazing food with great service! Looking forward to coming back soon

Absolutely buzzing on a Friday night. Generally good, friendly staff and great to have Kingfisher on tap. Portions were quite small in comparison to other Indian restaurants we've been too. I'd say the menu is huge which means a bit of a gap in the description of the dishes so wasn't entirely sure what I had ordered. As the place was so busy and so many take aways coming to collect service took a bit of a dip.

Was slightly disappointed, we have ordered from here before and it was perfect however was disappointing this time.

It’s a few years since we’ve been to this restaurant and we had many good experiences in the past. Sadly, this visit was less than impressive. Our relatively early evening booking saw poppadoms and pickle tray delivered. One dipping pot was chipped in several places and really should be discarded in the bin. Tight servings of the pickle dishes for 6 people - perhaps review the portion sizes you serve as a plain poppadom is little more than a large crisp otherwise. Drinks arrived eventually. Main courses ordered and we sat back and chatted, chatted, chatted…waiting for the plates we used for our poppadoms to be collected from the table. A gentle hint of the customers stacking up these plates eventually caught the attention of the waiter and he came over to remove them from our table. Then we had time to chat, chat, chat, chat whilst waiting for our main course to be served. Thank goodness we didn’t order anything over complicated or starters. After an hour and a quarter we caught one of the waiters and politely asked whether our main course was due to arrive. As if by magic, we were informed we were next and the dishes arrived in a rather haphazard disorganised way, so our group got rice but no curry or their curry but no rice etc. Rice portion sizes were also very small. Several of the dishes served to our group contained chicken - it was tough. The chicken jalfrazi looked like no other chicken jalfrazi I’d ever seen served in a similar restaurant. Very little tomato found within the jalfrazi hence it appeared rather too dark brown ( I know recipes differ). It was disappointing to see that tables are no longer covered in table cloths as most appear to be, chipped crockery, long waits before being served, waiters running in the restaurant, waiters carrying 4 plates, 4 rice dishes, plates of naan bread whilst serving customers - no serving trolleys or trays used. There was lots of rushing around by staff and perhaps far too many customers in the restaurant for the staff to cope with. Yes, it was busy, but when customers are forced to wait exceptionally long for their meals to arrive, the quality of cooking and ingredients, small portion sizes of dishes you start to question whether it’s worth going there again? Sadly, our answer to that would be an overwhelmingly no. There are so many other good restaurants in the area - Whitehill and Alton where service, quality of food and portion sizes are so good why would you want to return? Which is such a shame because in previous years we’ve had good food and a good experience here. I just wonder what has happened to change this? Maybe more staff are needed or spread table booking times so your kitchen and waiting staff aren’t so overwhelmed.

One of my favourite restaurants, always worth the journey. Wonderful staff, fabulous food.

Sad. This has always been my favorite Indian restaurant around here. Tonight’s food was not good. Bland & or greasy. I’ll chat with them tomorrow and hopefully get to understand what happened to the great food. I had bought a bunch of friends. No one ate much of their dishes.

Always exceptional. Food and service is always 10/10. Staff are incredible, funny and polite. Highly recommend

Great service, fast delivery (earlier than the app said) and tasty hot food! Impressed.

The prawns Korma was a small portion it appeared as though only 1/2 the container was filled. The prawns were quite tasteless, while I did place the order I must say for £40 worth of food there is no value here.

very nice, we really enjoyed our food, great to talk to, will be back, thanks again!

All what I call standard Indian cuisine but much more specialised dishes that are wonderful. Be adventurous with the menu you will not be disappointed. All the staff are friendly and efficient could not fault them at all. Surprised with the fair cost of the meal for the quality and service given.

Very good quality food and excellent service

My mum and I had a meal mid week, the food did not disappoint, the service was excellent too. We would definitely go back and i would even concede driving 30 miles for a take away.

The staff is great, very hospitable and polite

Very disappointing! I have been using this restaurant and take away for decades, it pains me to say that this was the 3rd poor take away I have had on the trot (and the last two restaurant visits were bad also). I am not one to readily complain and have given a fair chance for things to improve due to the many, MANY years of fantastic food and service I had previously received, I will not be coming back again. Tomato stew for Chicken tikka masala, not Fried rice and a dry mixed grill …for £45!

Fabulous service fabulous food love visiting here

Excellent service, food and atmosphere. Our first visit and we will definitely be returning as there were so many choices we wanted but had to pick just one so a great reflection of the delicious menu! Thank you for having the skill to create such amazing flavours.

A deeply upsetting evening. We ordered a Murgh Deluxe which is minced meat wrapped in chicken. The minced meat was stone cold - straight from the fridge. The food came out very rapidly suggesting the poor use of microwaves and no checking of temperature. Ruined our evening. This restaurant used to be really good but we will not be going back. We at least were not asked to pay for the food or the beer we had just started. Only took the owners a year to comment on our review!

Just a perfect place to eat. So attentive, such ambience, food so utterly tasty, vast choice. I cannot fault this favourite restaurant of mine. A perfect evening. We will be back, time and time again.

Exceptional service food was boiling hot and came early 10/10 would recommend

Amazing service and food was lovely. Personally, for the mixed grill, more meat is needed but what I did have tasted great. Well recommend and will come again.

Fantastic Food and welcoming by Owner Bedar Miah who is a delighfull caracter. Never been disapointed by the Madhuban experience for more than 25 years!!! The Epicurean Crazy Frog (alias big-daddy)

First time I have visited this place Staff very friendly and welcoming...Good start. I got home (5min drive) and opened my chicken tikka MAIN... they were warm ish but rubbery. sag alo...not hot at all And the naan was cold. Such a shame as everyone raved about this place. Maybe it's better when you sit in and eat.

We have been going to Madhuban for about 25 years. The food is always excellent, worth going all the way to Liss even though we now live in California! We compare every other Indian restaurant to Madhuban, and miss it constantly.

Most of the food was cold and pretty flavourless. Could easily do better at home so not worth the money.

The curry was awful no flavour at all and really watery

Amazingly well presented and behaved staff. The food is also amazing and Bedar is such a gentlemen - alongside the food experience, he warming and welcoming nature makes us enjoy the evening even more every time we go.

I've eaten here twice now and both times the food has been excellent. I'd go as far as saying its the best curry I've had!....And I've had quite a few. There is so much flavour in the food which makes it stand out from our curry houses who use too much oil. The staff and management team are also incredibly polite and welcoming. A must on your list and very close to Liss train station too if you want to travel from far awzy / have a drink or two with your meal. 5 Stars!

Delicious food, so full of flavour without being overpowered by too much chilli heat Exceptional service from all the staff.

delivery was more or less on time. The food was another story. Delivered luke warm. Chicken Korma, watery and tasteless. Lamb passant was a hard as shoe leather and bland. (it looked like the sauce had split). Sag Panner took 4 sheets of kitchen paper to soak up the excess oil and the spinach still had twigs on it. The rice was mostly peas. However the Onion Bhaji was nice and crisp. Not going to order from there again.

The Lamb was tough and not cooked well.

Excellent food, great service and good atmosphere.

Exactly what youd expect from Michelin Star restaurant, top quality food, fantastic friendly staff at very reasonable price 😁

We were happily surprised that it arrived early. Delicious, as usual. Fantastic service from a fantastic restaurant. Always a favourite 😍

In my opinion the Madhuban is a wonderful place with impeccable service and every dish is equally delicious.

Welcomed with a smile! Very polite and accommodating. Food was very tastey and the right spice! Portion size was just right. If in the area again, will definitely pop in.

Top notch cuisine with excellent menu choices matched with impeccable service. Well tried each other dishes, nothing too hot all with great taste and quality meats

It was amazing the staff were so lovely one night of the best food is very good so is the pudding I got a Ferrero rocher ice cream for incredible I can’t describe how good it was would definitely recommend it

Amazing food haven’t had from here for a long time and it was perfect thank you

Extensive menu, some tasty dishes but many quite similar. Lovely fun atmosphere and smart modern decor. A great evening out.

2nd team curry this year, fantastic service and food. Staff were attentive and very friendly nothing was to much. Highly recommended. Kate

Beautiful food in a lovely setting, great atmosphere and attentive staff. Highly recommend

Great food, great service and beautiful decor.

Delicious food and lovely staff. We (a table of three) booked the day before. The food was absolutely delicious, I tried everything we all ordered. The lamb was beautifully cooked, just fell apart and the portion sizes were just right. Not so much that you're uncomfortably or too full, just right. Staff were friendly, couldn't have been more polite or helpful Thank you very much

Good meal. Just enough people on a Sunday evening to generate a good atmosphere. Food was very tasty and portion sizes spot on. Just need to order less naans, 1 is enough for 3 people. Will not have the Calcutta Calamari again, expected a bit more spice.

Great food, service and atmosphere, cannot fault the restaurant.

Fantastic food and lovely staff. I've been coming here years and will continue to do so. Try it for yourselves you won't be disappointed .

Very nice setting and delicious food. The hot lamb starter was very good. Friendly staff. Would recommend!

Beyond expectations - the food was hot when it arrived and tasted fantastic. If you fancy something different and unique, this is where to get it from. We will certainly order again and will be in the restaurant soon !

Can't beat it, great food, great service, and great atmosphere 👌

One of my favourite tandoori restaurants in the local area. The food is superb- I tried the madhuban special this time and it was👌🏼 the staff are so lovely, the owner/manager always remembers our family and it’s such a special touch.

Thirteen CCC members made their summertime pilgrimage across to East Hampshire to an old Club favourite having booked a couple of weeks in advance. Previously used Covid screening areas, which are still very useful at giving individual tables some privacy, were dismantled in advance to get us all on one long table. We were warmly received by the senior staff as usual. The menu had been updated in February’22, since the previous full club visit and contains an impressive selection of main courses, most of which are bespoke to this venue. The ‘Jungli Mas’ was particularly popular. The staff spoke with authority responding to Members questions about some of the dishes that they had not seen before. (The sauces of many dishes are available commercially from their sister ‘Honey Garden Sauces’ business). As is the case with large groups, chatting prior to service, some of the Members had forgotten what they’d ordered. This was no problem for the excellent staff who quickly rectified any issues. It was noticed that a high volume of takeaway collections and outgoing deliveries was noted – none of this detracted from the activity in the restaurant. You can guarantee a great culinary experience here, and at good value for money. No wonder this restaurant keeps winning awards! - IC

Been going here on and off for years, it's easily the best Indian restaurant I've been to. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

What an amazing night my friends and family had with the very tasty food with a very big range of dishes and friendly staff. Can't wait for the next evening at Madhuban

Amazing food! I definitely will be coming back!

Fantastic meal in this restaurant last night, the food was beyound description and the staff and service exceeded our expectations. Five stars is the minimum I can give definitely well worth a return visit

This is an Excellent Indian Restaurant. The food is superb. Every Dish is distinguishable from the next. The Ambience is good & it’s always Busy. We will definitely be back.

Had a date night here on Saturday - not my first visit for sure but had not been for a year or so. Atmosphere was lovely - not loud but a nice level of conversation in the busy restaurant. The staff are polite and respectful and the boss man is very welcoming and friendly and you always feel like he remembers you from the last visit!! Oh, and food was awesome - like it always has been!

Fantastic food in pleasant surroundings where staff are always charming. It’s the only place my hubby will go to eat out.

Great food, quality ingredients

Excellent food, great night out very friendly and professional staff would recommend to friends and family and anyone that want evening out

Awesome food and friendly service and kids love the decor and chocolates! They also loved the waterfall

Service & food is amazing! I’ll certainly make the 40 minute round trip again. Thanks guys.

Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere always very friendly & helpful staff. Definitely need to boom in advanced -

Terrible food, really disappointed. This was the best in the area not long ago!

Tasty food arrived hot and earlier than expected. Delicious

Very very greesy and the lamb in my dish was dry and gristly.

Ordered a takeaway to include a Thai Green Chicken Curry which is on their menu and received a chicken curry with Thai green chillies chopped in it !!!! Was disgusting and the chicken was substandard and rubbery . I’ve been going here for 35 years and recently the food has been below standard . Very disappointing. We used to go once a week now it’s once every 3 months !

Absolutely brilliant food ,service,staff,atmosphere 👌

We go here a lot for family meals. It's consistently good, I don't think we have ever had any problems. Excellent, friendly staff who know how to treat customers.

Very good as always has never disappointed.

Food was Luke warm when it arrived. The rice was missing. Rang and they asked what I would like them to do, deliver it or not have rice. Took a further 20 minutes for the rice to be delivered. Not ideal. They did apologise and they did put it right, but I would expect this to be a better service if you are paying nearly £40 for a meal for 2 people. Probably won’t be ordering from them again.
