Natraj in Test Valley

Again…I don’t know why I tried ordering a delivery from them! Their timing is terrible…I ordered at 7.03pm which said 65mins for delivery…..I waited another 30 minutes after this to chase…then I got told it would be 5-10 minutes…didn’t arrive so 15 minutes later I called again and got told it’ll be 5-10 minutes again! I said no that’s what you said last time and then they said 15 minutes…so I’m in total over 2 hours from placing order…bearing in mind they are just over a mile down the road! This has happened before it thought o would try again…definitely never again….I have asked for a refund as too late now to eat…they have again ruined my night! I await to hear from a manger tomorrow as completely unsatisfied with their service DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT 2 HOURS

Have eaten Indian meals for 45 years, always had the same, actually quite good apart from a massive lack of chicken in the chicken biriani. Mutton dressed as lamb.

Excellent service. Very tasty food most importantly the flavour of the food is amazing definitely coming back

1st impressions on arrival the restaurant and decor looked nice, had wanted to try Natraj for quite a while, we had the opportunity to try when friends invited us. We were seated at our table and menus and drinks ordered, staff didn’t seem very attentive and asking for a bottle of Bud was a rigmarole to say the least ! Then we wasn’t greeted by another member of staff to take the food order, he wasn’t friendly, and the rushed attitude and manner to which he did this was not pleasant. The food came out pretty quick and the temperature of my meal was warm, not as if it had been freshly prepared, it was ok but not as expected for a chicken Bhuna and pretty tasteless ?. A garlic Naan and a peshwari Naan came out in the same bowl, the staff member couldn’t even get which order they were in the bowl right. The dessert menu was presented and after saying we wouldn’t be having dessert, this was snatched away and pretty much was told the bill was coming, and the attitude from the staff was like we had outstayed our welcome and they wanted us out of an empty restaurant at 9pm on a Saturday night we sat down at gone 7.30pm ? What’s the rush, not impressed and won’t return again due to mainly the staff attitude and mediocre food. My wife this morning has a very bad tummy. The restaurant had vacant tables all evening, and we couldn’t understand why the untrained and not very attentive staff pushed the whole experience through so quickly, wasn’t as if people were waiting to eat, by 9pm we were the only ones in there on a Saturday night, had I walked past and looked I would of wondered why, but on visiting the answer is very clear ! Sorry but 1st and last experience for us.

We have had a few takeaways from this restaurant but had never eaten in. The restaurant is quite modern clean and tidy. The food is quite nice although my wife wasn’t sure about the use of lime chutney in her curry. The service is attentive and reasonably friendly. The toilets although a bit cramped are modem and clean. All in all a very nice evening and we would have become regular customers. However one of the staff followed one of our party out of the toilets and didn’t wash his hands. We then watched in disbelief as he continued to serve with his thumb resting on people’s plates. So we won’t be returning.

Went for dinner today Saturday 17th June. Sat at table 7.10pm. Meal all done 7.55pm . Starter, mains and drinks, 45 minutes. Come on guys what was the rush, restaurant was half empty, really ruined the evening. Asked you to slow down, you didn’t listen. Won’t be back.

Not very good at all, the chicken was very rubbery, and hard, we would assume frozen due to the poor quality. My own Jalfrezi seemed to have a LOT of onions, just excessive. Another dish flaw from the same order - half of a tandoori...

As a Brummie I really miss the taste of a Birmingham Balti, but am happy to say that the Balti at the Natraj is fantastic. Best Indian food in Hampshire

Fantastic food. One of the best Indian meals I’ve had. Consistently excellent food. It doesn’t matter if you eat in or take away it’s always good.

Excellent variety of well cooked & presented dishes.8 of us enjoyed a memorable evening. Well done NATRAJ. I will definitely revisit. Keep it up superb food

The food and service was immaculate just like the presentation of the whole restaurant. The tables were set out beautifully and it was all nice and clean. Great work guys, keep it up!

Seventeen of us dined here, as we have before. I just had two poppadoms instead of a starter, followed by Goan King Prawn Curry, which was delicious. Amazingly they managed to produce everyone’s different meals at the same time! Service was excellent. We’ll be back.

We have been to this restaurant a number times over the years and decided to go again. I booked using their online booking system and received notification we had a table for 7.45pm. We had a table next to the window which was nice but...

A great selection of Indian dishes. I have visited this restaurant on quite a few occasions whilst working in the area and the food has been excellent every time. There is a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

We were on business for four days in the area and found this excellent Indian restaurant on our last night. The food is outstanding with great service warm and welcoming. I will definitely return to this establishment when I am back in the area.

I ordered online for a pay on collection takeaway, unfortunately until you place the order it doesn't tell you how long it will be. In this case it was 60 mins- OK its a busy, popular restaurant but that was more than I was willing...

An unacceptable wait to be served even though the restaurant was virtually empty . . well over an hour. Stale popadoms , surly unfriendly waiting staff and cold chewy food. Couldn"t wait to leave and get fish and chips on the way home. Certainly wont...

Since lockdown this has been our go to Indian restaurant. The food is consistently good,fresh and most enjoyable. A stale poppadom was quickly dealt with. We have had a couple of takeaways and they were the same high standard of the restaurant. Chicken Sally and...

All 4 of us agreed that this the nicest curry we have ever eaten, and thank you Shah for making our evening so good. We have already recommended your restaurant to a group of friends that will be visiting Romsey in the near future.

To the wonderfully kind man who decided to pay £200 of our bill on Friday night- thank you! You have no idea how much it meant to us, you absolutely made our night and we just wish we could have thanked you in person! Thank...

This was my first visit to the Natraj Restaurant in Romsey. I went with a group from work to celebrate a friend who has got a new job. The staff were very attentive to our needs, very professional and polite. The Natraj has an excellent...

Finally, ordered from here, 2 king prawn pasanda’s and 2 coconut rice, absolutely awful, an unappetising grey colour, over cooked prawns, and so much dedicated coconut was like eating a curried bounty bar, will not ge going back

It’s a nice enough restaurant but the service was quite dismissive and rude at times. The food was average and the Balti was very poor. I definitely would not return.

I made an online booking, but heard no confirmation response (which the online system said I would receive), so I had to phone to confirm. Fortunately they did have our booking details. This really negates the online system, just phone to book! Parking is free...

I ve visited this restaurant ever since it opened a few years ago, and I can honestly say it has never been short of outstanding! Not only has the food been superb, the staff are so friendly and always make you welcome, even through long...

We stayed in Romsey for the weekend with some friends and found Natraj on Goggle. After a slow start with the service, the food was amazing and beautifully cooked. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend and would visit...

A nice place to met for dinner, flowing beer, decent wine, nice food. The chicken pili pili was really nice - will have it again. Nice service too.

It was supposed to be my birthday treat, i nearly brought in the new year after the ridiculously long wait ! Ordered at 18.45pm delivery 9.30PM , it does not say there is a wait only after you have paid does it then say delivery...

It was a while since we had last dined at Natraj but the large restaurant (space between tables & social distancing) it was ideal for an informal supper post-Covid. A nice menu, with lots of interesting chef's specials, the food was excellent and well presented...

We were excited to choose off the chef specials thinking that they would be the best they could offer. The results were unimpressive; little effort going into the presentation of the food on the plate. Taste was ok, but overall it was very disappointing -...

Quick Friday evening meal with wife. Service and food was good bill came to just under 30 per head. Which included 3 drinks. I would say food was good but not great, if in area again would look for another place to eat, do not...

Visited with my family, we booked in last minute and the staff were very accommodating. The food was lovely and the staff attentive. Would recommend and would definitely come back if we are ever in the area again.

Served by Younis who is friendly and super efficient, food arrived and was delicious, try it you will not be disappointed

We ordered the food online for collection and as soon as we got there the food was ready and we didn’t even need to wait 5 minutes. On top of that the food was absolutely superb!! Couldn’t recommend more

Beautiful restaurant. Always have takeaways and sit ins here and the food is always amazing. The food is always hot, full of flavour and the lovely people that work here are always happy to help. 5*!!

We visited Natraj this evening without a reservation. The staff were pleasant, the food was served promptly and was very enjoyable. The chicken tikka tandoori was especially good …… succulent spiced chicken! We recommend Natraj and shall return

Our group of four sat down last Saturday evening at 8.00 pm and waited to order our food. We waited for at least twenty minutes and the waiter did not come to take our table to take our order. We could see a lot of...

The worst Indian meal experience ever. A truly terrible and rude waiter which matched the poor service.

Haven't been here for about 5 years didn't much rate it then. Very impressed now with the quality of the food, flavour was very good, place was very clean as was the toilet's, a big thanks to Sha who look after us and made our...

Came here for an evening out with my daughter who is just starting out in the curry world lol. We started with poppadoms and chutneys then went for 3 starters of duck tikka, samosas, and mixed kebab, the poppadoms were nice and crispy so was...

A good choice of dishes, including plenty of vegetarian options. We opted to collect our takeaway and found the service prompt and polite. You can park right outside the restaurant - so very convenient location in the centre of Romsey.

Amazing meal in the restaurant. Then a week later we had a takeaway the food was 1st class again. Ordered online first class service especially the greeting by Shajib. The 4 of us all had different meals & they were the best we ever had.

Ordered Tikka Massala and Tandoori Chicken chilli massala, mushroom rice, saag baaji. Take away because the restaurant is now bookings only. New policy it seems. Firstly the tandoori wasn’t tandoori. It was simply boiled chunks of dry chicken breast. The sauce on both dishes was...

Excellent service from Mohammed!! Incredible food n a very accommodating experience. V good and would definitely recommend

Stunning Lamb Tikka Madras + Mushroom Rice. Been here a handful of times and has always been delicious, from the first intoxicating smell to the last sumptuous mouthful. Big thanks to Mohammad for the brilliant serivce

Always a pleasure at Natraj. We’ve had many lovely meals here, Mohammed has taken excellent care of us!

This is our first trip out since look down as my other half has had to shield until August 1st. The food was fantastic and the service from Mohammed and his team was excellent. Highly recommended for a great night out. The staff made us...

So the tablecloths and the menus have gone along with about two thirds of the tables making social distancing possible and the waiters are in gloves and masks. But the food is just as good, the service is friendly especially Mohammed that served us yesterday...

Great dinner - first night out since lockdown. Really enjoyed our meal will definitley be back!! And wait or mahammod was great also!

Lovely Curry Evening with Our Special Friends, Lovely Food and Excellent Service by our Waiter Mohammed who was very helpful and attentive. Many thanks to all Vanessa and Dave Smith x

We had been looking forward to a sit down meal throughout lockdown, so made sure we had booked in for the first opening night. We wasn’t sure what to expect, and prepared ourselves for the “ new normal.” Tables were spaced adequately apart, all staff...

We just wanted to say how amazing the natraj staff were at this restaurant. We couldn’t wait to get back to a little normality. The restaurant had implemented all government social distancing measures we were served by Mohammed who was polite and accommodating, the staff...

Booked online. Usual choice. Had to phone to arrange a pick up time, that bit could be improved However the meal was ready on time, piping hot and up to their usual standard.

Take away last night as a lockdown treat. Ordered prawn dish, veggie side dishes, rice, poppadoms. Poppadoms were good but the chutney and raita were the worst I have tasted in a while. Both were binned. The prawn dish was bland with little spice or...

Was given a specific time to collect. Collection very straightforward & felt safe. Garlic chilli chicken & chicken pili pili were fantastic, very generous portions & really tasty. Our second takeaway since lockdown & both times have been really impressed.

Really disappointed in the takeaway food this time. No real flavour, bordering tasteless. Not up to the standard we're used to.

We ordered our takeaway at 6.15pm for an 8.15pm pick up. It’s now 9pm and we are still waiting. Not impressed by the service especially as we ordered within good time. I hope you will recompense us somehow? Thank you

Delivery, not hot. Meat over cooked and little flavour. Definitely won't be using again. Very disappointed as first take away had during lock down.

The food served by Natraj has always been top drawer. The staff are very friendly and although busy always have time to chat.

Outstanding customer care. Natraj have implemented sensible anti covid procedures. When we arrived to collect a takeaway they were running 10 mins late. They apologised and offered a free drink which was most unexpected. Food was excellent as usual. Please could you consider making a...

Tout simplement délicieux !!! Un coup de cœur pour le chicken tikka massala qui est le meilleur que j'ai goûté....

We had a lovely meal here with friends. The six of us all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Our friend was not long back from travelling around India and so we were trying different dishes that he'd experienced. Great food and the guys working there were...

I ordered a takeaway from here and it was of superb quality. The service upon collection was also great. I highly recommend Natraj.

Lovely meal with friends on a Saturday. Never disappointed by the food and service here. Very tasty curry and great service from Mohammed. We'll be back again.

The best Vindaloo I've had in a while, asked for extra hot and boy did they deliver. King prawns were divine, highly recommend

Booked online a table for 5 the day before our visit. Received email confirmation and a promise of a call to confirm. No contact from restaurant at all. Arrived assuming all must be ok, as no-one had phoned to tell us they were full. Manager...

Once again used Natraj for another family treat - wouldnt use any other - excellent food - highly recommended

Excellent customer service from Mohammed follow by exceptional tasty curries for our family . Highly recommended & will definitely be back !

Went in on a Monday evening for a meal with my partner and dad. The food was amazing couldn’t fault it at all. We were served by Nihal who was welcoming, friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back again!

Visited natraj for a meal with 7 on Monday evening the food was delicious had set of 3 starters and the main was exquisite. We we were looked after by Nihal and Ahmed who were great and took care of us that evening top class....

The curries and drinks were fantastic. Ahmed was brilliant - I'd definitely recommend the roganjosh.

Have eaten here on several occasions. The service and quality is very good. Especially Mohammed. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing food! Amazing Staff! Top service. Special thanks to Mohammad for making our visit extra special 😊

Purely by chance, we found ourselves at Natraj tonight, and had one of the best ever curries. We do not live any where near to Romsey, but will be making an effort to visit this restaurant again. I had a Biriani dish; my husband had...

Had a lovely meal at Natraj last night. For years I’ve always found it hard to judge my favourite curry house in Romsey but I’ve decided that Natraj now wins! The food is excellent, fresh and tasty. The portions are decent both when you eat in and get a takeaway. Top service from Nihal and his family. Lovely guy, really friendly and makes you feel very welcome.

Good meal . Reasonably priced. Good service provided by Mohamed and Nihal. Both polite and courteous and very welcoming.

We came here for dinner on Valentine's day, and had a really good time. The restaurant was very busy, but service was still timely. We were served by Nihal and Mohammad, both of whom were polite, welcoming, and very friendly. The food was excellent, served...

Great food from natraj, great service from Nihal. Always great to have Baileys at the end also, nice touch.

Had an amazing meal at the Natraj last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. We were served by Nihal, a very friendly and efficient waiter. Thankyou Nihal. We will be back x

I've been going to this restaurant for over four years and have never been disappointed.

Been here a couple of times now, we've all had different items from the menu and all delicious.Thanks Mohammed and team for brilliant service on our most recent visit :)

We had such a lovely Valentines meal with natraj. The food was prompt and delicious and the service was fantastic. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Our waiter Nihal did a wonderful job, we had a lovely night. Thank you!

Lovely restaurant, excellent service, AMAZING food and brilliant service from Nihal. The only Indian we will go to.

About 8 visits and very consistent delicious curry. Sha is very welcoming and remembers our dishes (Bombay Tikka Masala and Lamb Biryani) every time we’ve been. Even months apart. Would recommend. My picture does t do it justice.

Two families celebrating joint 14th birthdays! Food, particularly the starters was fresh and tasty. Staff were attentive and helped recommend dishes for one of our party who is allergic to nuts. They even produced a pudding with candles for the birthday boy and girl!! Great restaurant and would recommend.

first time here last night with friends. excellent food, attentive staff and very good value for money. will definitely go again and would recommend to family and friends. thank you to Mohammed and all the staff.

Friday Curry Night with Our Lovely Friends dinning in style at Natraj in Romsey.The Food and Service is always excellent and our waiter Shah was very attentive and friendly. They are very busy and you will need to book a table. We highly recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable evening with a friendly atmosphere.

We visit this restaurant regularly and the food is always great quality and reasonably priced. Good selection of your usual punjab curries and some interesting specials. Serving staff are always pleasant especially Shah who served us last night. Highly recommnded

We had a lovely meal tonight as a family. Mohamed and the other staff where very friendly. Lovely food 😊

Food was impecable , customer service was amazing , we were served by mohammed and a couple of other people , would recomend.

We visit this restaurant often and have done for the last few years.The food is excellent The staff Mohammed,Shah and everyone are very friendly and helpful.Would really recommend this restaurant

This is a lovely place to go for eating in or takeaway. Staff are friendly and always pleased to see you.

We had the most fantastic curry in fact one of the best I’ve had in the UK. We were served by Ahmed who was so polite and courteous and really made us feel welcome. Would certainly come again and again !!!

We have used the Natraj a few times now and have always been impressed with the selection and quality of the food. Really great curry at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

We visited the Natraj on 25th January for a family meal. The food was outstanding. The service brilliant. It was so nice My daughter to the time to tell Mohammed that it was the best curry she had ever had!!

We’ve been to Natraj lots of times both to eat in, and for takeaways. The food is always delicious and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Whenever we’ve gone with family they’ve really enjoyed it too. The atmosphere is very welcoming and there are loads of great options on the menu.

I would say give this one a miss.. popadoms were old and soggy as were the dips provided with them.. Staff not interested in your opinion. Main course was very bland and no effort in said dishes. All 3 of us could not say a good word for any of our dishes ranging from mild to hot. Not the first visit there but thought we would give them another chance, however it will be our last.. Try the Purbani close by for a better Indian meal.

Always great food regardless of eating in or takeaway. Great service. Thank you Mohammed for good service yesterday

Wonderful meal last night. Excellent service. Mohammed managed to find a table for us as we had not booked and the restaurant was full. We have eaten here many times and never been disappointed. Thank you

Had take away this evening, 2 starters, 3 mains and a couple of side dishes - great. Nice food and good service. Mohammad was very helpful.
