Prachee - Port Solent in Portsmouth

Had a takeaway this evening, which was absolutely excellent, all the family thoroughly enjoyed it. Quality , taste - amazing! Thank you You are now our go to!! X

Excellent restaurant with delicious food. Service is always fast and friendly and it’s definitely the best indian in portsmouth. The bhuna is especially devine.

Exceptional food amazing service Great staff,Seen a few negative reviews don’t know what that’s about Well don’t guys keep it up. The food is a 10/10 the quality and presentation is phenomenal.The service is amazing and so friendly. Would always recommend it!!!

I recently dined at what claims to be an Indian cuisine restaurant, but honestly, it was a disappointment from start to finish. The food lacked any discernible flavor, leaving me wondering if the chef had forgotten to season it altogether. I couldn't finish any of the dishes and ended up heading to another place just to satisfy my hunger. The only decent items were the salad served with the chicken chaat and the chocolates served after the meal. As for the biryani, it was lukewarm at best, making me suspect that it had been hastily reheated, possibly even sourced from a Tesco takeaway. I've frequented numerous Indian restaurants in the past, but this one easily ranks as the worst. Save your taste buds the agony and dine elsewhere. Not only was the food lackluster, but the experience was marred by insensitive comments from the staff. We left all the food untouched, a testament to its subpar quality. To add insult to injury, the staff had the audacity to explain away the dismal dishes by claiming it was "white people Indian food," which is not only offensive but also blatantly wrong. Good food transcends cultural boundaries, and this excuse only further highlights the restaurant's lack of authenticity and respect for its cuisine. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this establishment at all costs. Reply to the response by the owner: I am extremely disappointed by your response. It’s concerning to see a business respond to honest customer feedback with baseless accusations and hostility instead of taking constructive criticism on board. To clarify, I visited your restaurant during a weekend trip and shared an honest review based on my experience of poor-quality food, which was not fresh. Rather than addressing the issue, you’ve resorted to accusing me of fabricating my experience and even encouraging confrontational language. This kind of behavior speaks volumes about your approach to customer service. For the record, I have no personal vendetta against your establishment, nor do I know anyone else who has reviewed your restaurant. My review was solely based on the substandard food and service I received. Attacking customers who provide honest feedback will not improve the quality of your dishes or your reputation. I sincerely hope you reflect on how you handle feedback and strive to provide fresh, quality food in line with what you claim to represent. Responding with professionalism and respect would serve you far better than making threats or unfounded accusations.

Here to celebrat my birthday with family and friends. Service 5* from the momwnt we entered. Food has to be best ive eaten in Portsmouth. Blue looked after the service at our table and hes is an asset to the place, nothi g too much for us including preping and bringing out my cake with candles. Wont be last visit here.

Thanks to Blue and all the team. Great to see you open and as good as ever. Best restaurant in the area

Four of us had dinner on Saturday it was delicious great service it was our first visit and we will be back soon

Glad to see they are going to be back open again! Looking forward to my next meal at Prachee!

So it's not only me they owe money too..

THE RESTAURANT IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED DUE TO BAILIFFS BEING CALLED. PROBABLY DIDN'T PAY THE RENT !

How modern Indian food should be. Lamb Dhansak tender, full of flavour. Sag paneer, cauliflower side to perfection. From the Bradford school. Recommend highly.

Amazing food service with a beautiful view. We were lucky enough to walk in with no booking. Had to wait just 10 minutes. Will be back .. The portion sizes are big so don't be afraid to ask for a container to take leftovers home.

First time customers but not last time. Really good food, excellent service - great experience thank you.

Amazing food, the atmosphere was great. Will definitely be popping down again!

Food was excellent again, we were a party of 5 but only ordered 4 mains and 4 starters to share with sides, portions are generous and we ended up taking about a quarter home in take out trays (too tasty to waste). My wife enjoyed the cocktails (mojito and a pina colada).

Mate this place is insane, the pina colada was the best I’ve had. The lamb shank Devine the dum biryani so fragrant with tender lamb and caramelised onions, the mix grill and prawn starters were so good. Would 💯 recommend for flavour lovers

Probably one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever eaten, also one of the most expensive but you get what you pay for, worth it for the location. Exceptional service and a shout out to Billy, so attentive and a credit to the Restaurant. Thank you.

One of my favourite indian restaurants in portsmouth

The best Indian restaurant in Portsmouth in my opinion. The food is cooked to a high standard, the lamb is cooked to perfection- tender and succulent, the garlic rice is to die for. The waiters/waitresses are quick, responsive and courteous. The price is you get what you pay for. A winner in my eyes.

Excellent food, great service my favourite Indian restaurant in Portsmouth

Excellent service and lovely food with good portions

We dined here on Saturday (May 11th). I can honestly say it was the best Indian restaurant I've ever experienced. The food was super fresh, extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. My wife chose a vegetarian dish which she loved and my daughter and son in law were so impressed with the food and service. I really don't mind paying a little more for great food and service. I have no hesitation in leaving a 5* review.

By far best takeaway and restaurant around

Best curry we have had in a while absolutely delicious, service was spot on and the waiter even cracked a joke at our friend having a korma (baby food) was really amusing. We got a lovely table with a beautiful view of the boats, really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it. And yes your right we probably will be back next week haha thanks again.

Fantastic evening! Food and service was excellent. A great way to celebrate a special occasion!

We called for a few drinks to port solent and spotted this place tucked around the corner, we moved from Manchester (renowned for its curry mile) to Portsmouth 2 years ago and havnt found anywhere that compares in regards to a decent curry. Well this place smashed it outa the park!! The service was fab, price was great but the food…… is to die for! We had popadoms and chuntneys (really flavoursome) Onion barghies again packed with flavour, lamb balti (the lamb was cooked to perfection) the balti sauce was perfect! Other half had CTM and didn’t leave any of it. Pashwari naan and a couple of beers it was the best I’ve tasted since being down south, a huge 5* from us, it’s a shame it tucked away many people will miss out on this absolute belter WE WILL BE BACK!!

Surprisingly good. Our first visit, for a birthday celebration, and I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. My only negative is the pricing. The staff were good and attentive and the dishes tasty, especially the Naan breads. Overall, recommended.

Although the food was quite good, the service was very poor. We had to wait ages for our starters, and then they turned up with the mains . The place is extremely noisy, and so we found ourselves either shouting to each other or remaining silent.

Great atmosphere, attentive staff and food is full of flavour!

Great food, best jalfrazi I've had in ages, wife loved the lamb shank

Great food and excellent service. Free parking

Went here quite early 6/6.30 pm surprised at how busy it got so early , good sign . Food excellent, service OK at first , atmosphere ok for early evening. Service deteriorated after we had finished our food, once the plates had been cleared there was an obvious move to free up the table & shuffle us out the door. Pity up to then it was fine.

Love this place, great service, food amazing , definitely the best Indian food in Portsmouth ! 5*

Dinner for four, generous starter's. Probably should have ordered a smaller main. Very good. Thanks

Really pleasantly surprised at both the service and quality of the food. The Prawn Shashlik was beautifully done. Will definitely return.

Had a lovely evening here. The curry was tasty and the chilli cheese naan was amazing. The staff were very friendly.

Wow, what a great place to eat! Emily greeted us on our arrival, giving our group of seven a very warm welcome Billy took our drinks order, and we settled down to make our choice from the extensive menu. Poppadoms and chutneys duly arrived, and then Billy returned to take our orders; 2 madras, 1 balti, 1 balti to madras heat, 1 jalfrezi, and 1 khorai (1 of our party unable to eat sadly). Mmmm, everything was brilliant and compliments on the food came from all of us. Sanya and Abdul made sure we were happy - We were very happy l!! - and Abdul kept the drinks coming when wanted. All the staff very attentive without being intrusive or pushy. Both were just happy to help. The decor and furnishings in Prachee have been tastefully done, contemporary with little nods to India (especially the Tuk Tuk); a really nice place to be. Stupidly, I forgot to take photos simply because I was having such a good time. Suffice to say that the food was beautifully presented and a joy to eat. We were all so impressed that we said we would be returning with our respective wives and partners. Probably the best food I have had outside of India. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you all for a memorable evening.

Came here with a large group for dinner. Food was delicious and lovely array of drinks including wine, beer and cocktails - all very good. Service was very good with constantly asking if we wanted more drinks. If you are a larger party I do recommend getting them to check what they have written down as we had several items missing when we asked them to do this. Overall a lovely day out

Got Fanum taxed by the Prachee rizzler. Enough said twas included 30 percent of my biryani

One of the Top 3 Indian meals I've ever had in 45 years and my wife was blown away by their Tandoori Chicken. Gotta try the lamb shank though. Perfectly cooked, uber-tasty meat infused in so many flavours. Staff were lovely and friendly and service was quick. Absolutely tip top!

Lovely food great service very friendly ..was extremely busy being a saturday but they still managed to look after everyone

Top notch food and sensibly priced. Great service too.

What a find! A lovely restaurant with excellent staff. We had the Lamb Korai and I can honestly say its the best I've had anywhere. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Love the food here been going here for a while

Excellent food, excellent service, highly recommended.

Great place, great food and service,

Excellent food, nice quick service! Highly recommend!!

A lot better than the previous Indian restaurant that was here, staff are excellent as well. Great Dansak

Lovely location , great food, lovely flavours, Service was spot on. All round great dining experience. If we lived locally we’d definitely be regular customers.

Lovely food and great service as always

Brilliant food and a great menu but service was poor- one person in particular was so rude to one of my friends it was laughable. The other staff were friendly and accommodating to dietary requests but sadly this didn’t make up for the rudeness we experienced.

Just had another amazing meal with fantastic service after several visits. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for making our evening special xx

Fantastic food, lovely friendly and welcoming staff. This family run business stands out from the rest. 5 star food . Highly recommended. Deb Forrest

First impression looks great and staff very accommodating. Popped to the Gary's and they were filthy. Ordered chicken tikka starter and was more like a rump steak with a rashioned 3 pieces. Main meal I ordered korma and rice and that was better although again the chicken tasted like it had been microwaved. The wine was nice and chilled but that's not really why I chose to eat there. Sorry guys but you need to step it up in a Premier area like that.

Very good food, great scenic location! Staff went above and beyond and were very friendly. Sania was amazing and gave great service!

Takeaway option. Food was cooked and delivered within 40 minutes. The best curry we've had in the prestwich area for quite some time! The price also beat neighbouring takeaways. Staff were very friendly and swift service. Good value for money. Unable to rate atmosphere due to it being a takeaway.

Lovely fresh food that is served in a timely manner with just the right amount of flair. The dishes are not swimming in ghee/grease like some other Indian establishments. I also had a Pina colada mocktail that was delicious. Can't wait to return to this Indian gem.

We booked a table for 10 and when we arrived, we were immediately asked if we still wanted 10 seats which in the event, we didn't as one of the party couldn't make it. Another was running late and before taking our drinks order, we were asked again if we still needed the setting - I didn't understand why they found this to be the most important thing? Anyway, we put our drinks orders in and the waiter asked as he was leaving whether we wanted poppadoms and being distracted by our toddlers, we agreed to them. Unfortunately, they came out as 2 each (including the kids) and cost £20! Don't be fooled by your friendly waiter! We asked for the food to be served together and it was served in 2 halves which was fine given how big our order was. The food was piping hot, the puri being very tasty. However, the Prachee Sizzler had an odd buttery taste to it and was very salty. Others had the madras which was also salty so we believe it's over salted in an attempt to get you to order more drinks. One drink had to be reordered after being forgotten despite being almost harassed for extra drinks orders. When the bill came, we wanted to split the bill according to who ate what but the drinks were lumped together under "drinks £60" so it was a faff going through the drinks menu to itemise it ourselves. Overall, I think the service was generally fine if a bit pushy. The food unfortunately was a bit salty. The atmosphere was lovely though, it's great sitting by the marina and having a beautiful sunset however it wouldn't be enough to persuade me to return and pay the expensive prices when there are many restaurants with better food at more reasonable prices.

Little gem of a restaurant, recommended to us by friends. I had the butter chicken which was, by far, the best butter chicken I've ever eaten. Beautifully presented, great size portion and just delicious. Will definitely go back and have already recommended to lots of people.

Incredible food accompanied by very helpful and cheerful staff. The whole experience with the food and incredible views was simply sensational, will definitely be returning again soon :)

It's great food, nice location (unless it's busy then it's noisy) BUT... JUST CLEAN THE GENTS TOILET! The basin is caked in calcium and it's grotty everywhere. People do notice, It's a five minute job and it HAS been said before... You just can't be bothered. I assume/hope you take more care of the kitchen. Go and look and tell me I'm wrong...😵‍💫

Fantastic food ! The staff really look after us customers ! Cannot recommend enough ! The cocktails are great too !

Very pleased with the starter, however my Chicken Tikka madras was the worst I have had. It was like a Chinese Chicken curry with Spice. £15 for something so basic as a Madras.

Great curry - reasonable price - good service

Always good food and the, staff are always accommodating for your needs

Great restaurant. Second visit and did not disapoint. Food excellent good portions and price.A big shout out to William/Billy.Excellent service as soon as we arrived to departure.

Great selection of dishes, the food that we ordered was delicious and the service was amazing. We will be back soon.

Food was good but bill was a good few pounds more than when we visited only a matter of weeks ago and had virtually the same dishes but without drinks this time?Good service though and always somewhere to park which is free.

Very impressed with the food quality and the money we paid for it. Layout of the restaurant was beautiful. Highly recommended.

Take away, collection. Motorhome overnight in the car park. I really enjoyed the food I had, delicious. Staff very friendly. I'm already looking forwards to another take away from here the next time I come off the ferry!

Amazing meal out. Staff were so accommodating, service was outstanding. Food was delicious. Best Indian.

Service was a little haphazard. Food was good quality but mildly spiced. More expensive than similar restaurants away from Port Solent. I wouldn’t rush back.

A lovely Indian restaurant with all the classics and some nice chef's specials

Excellent! Amazingly delicious food with fantastic high standard of service! A Gem Of A Place!

We eat here quite often, and have never been disappointed! The food is absolutely delicious, the staff exceptionally hard working, and the ambiance spot on. Highly highly recommend Prachee as the number 1 Indian restaurant in the South!!

Really nice food, fair prices and good service. Had a Chicken Tikka Pathia, really spicy but lush!

Amazing food and service, only marked down atmosphere as it was early on a Tuesday evening so not much 'atmosphere' as such, but lovely decor and environment. Highly recommend

Prachee is simply the best Indian restaurant in town. The food is very tasty with good portion sizes and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. We’ve been a few times now and never been disappointed.

Good food, tasty and well spiced. Good, friendly service - even when busy. We all definitely be back.

Me and my son came here and the boys in his class were lovely waiters and very delicious food 👅

Was expecting better, the food was very bland, not what I was hoping for at all. Almost liked they had run out of spices!!! Staff were good but at over 70 pounds for two, I didn't think it was good value and probably won't be going back.

Rather disappointed with food, thought it alittle bland, Onion Bhaji was tasty and presented beautifully which lead me to relish the main course, alas wasn't as tasty as the Bhaji, Chicken Tikka Massala (played it safe for New restaurant) but all I could actually taste was tomato no other spice flavours coming through !! So although staff very welcoming and nice view onto harbour, not for me again.

Starters were lovely and also rice and side dishes. The main dishes were all lacking something ...although spicy they lacked flavour and depth. Toilets could do with a good clean. Such a shame as it's a lovely location. Staff are amazing though.

Good Indian food, tasty and hygienic. Options are handful in the menu and good portions in every meal.

I always go to a place a few times before writing a review, to give a weighted overall view. I've been 3 times in the past few months, with a group of 6, and then just myself and partner twice. All experiences have been very very good. The food is lovely, the staff are polite, attentive, but not over crowding, and they keep an eye out in case you need more drinks, more dips etc. Well priced, and a few different meals on the menu along with all the usuals you would expect. I love the lamb starter. So tender and delicately spiced. Easy Parking at Port Solent and easy to walk to along the boardwalk. I've already booked to go again - twice ;o)

We have been dinning in and having takeaways from you since you began, tonight a takeaway and we have to say it was without doubt the best meal we have had in a very long time…. Fresh and flavours to die for. Look forward to dinning with you in the very near future. Thank you, Chris & Sarah.

Best Indian meal that I have had in years. Will definitely eat here whenever I am nearby. Staff are very friendly and helpful, well done guys.

Excellent food & service at reasonable prices.

Lovely Indian food , so fresh and tasty ..highly recommended..

Terrible! I've been to this restaurant twice before. First time, food and service was excellent. Second time, service was good but food was poor. Went a third and final time thinking that maybe they had an off night. 4 of us visited. The place was busy so we were hopeful that it'd be good. We got our drinks and poppadoms within 15mins, so that was okay. It took over an hour to get the mains. We ordered 2 x chicken tikka biryani and 2 x chicken pasandas. The meals were almost colourless and tasted bland. We didn't finish any of the meals. There was no tikka on the chicken. The passanda was a greyish-beige. When the waiter asked us how our meal was, we said, honestly, that the food was bland and very disappointing. The waiter asked me what he should do about it and I suggested a reduction to the bill. He declined. When I said that I would write a review he said that he didn't care and that I would write what I want anyway. Then I asked to speak to the manager. He said he went to see if he 'was in' and, although he came back and said that he was, he said he was in the kitchen and was too busy to come and see me. I was shocked by the responses received and I insisted on a reduction to the bill. They reduced the bill by the two cheapest meals and it was still £67. I didn't leave a tip! Clearly, the management of this restaurant has no time for customers, and the food is appalling. To suggest we couldn't afford our meal says it all. We didn't even eat half of the food, despite our best efforts. Luckily, my review is supported by plenty of other appalling ones appearing online. If I can save one person from attending this restaurant, I've done my job. You should learn to do yours.

Very impressed with the members of staff and food. The staff are very friendly and always at the ready to answer any questions or order more drinks throughout food service. The food overall is very tasty and enjoyable for most of not all customers who come in. Would most definitely recommend to those who are in port Solent and want to have an Indian cuisine. Very impressed with the food. Had onion bhaji and a Jalfrezi with basmati rice. Highly recommended with a naan bread on the side.

Saturday evening, the restaurant was full and the service was excellent. The staff worked so hard, great organisation and teamwork. The food was absolutely incredible, the four of us were so impressed.

This is an amazing place to eat. The staff were very accommodating. And the food is out of this world. Our pictures show what a date night should look like. And what it is like when you have a 2 Yr old with you.

We had an amazing meal here last night - the chicken was tender and of high quality, the naan was fluffy, rice was spot on, service was amazing. The waiters didn’t stop all evening. Only reason it dropped a star was the long wait.

One of the best curries we have ever had! No, I'm serious. The best curry with excellent service to match. A real gem. The lamb shank curry was out of this world.

Pleasant Indian restaurant on the side of the marina. Modern decor, large inside with plenty of seating. Staff helpful. Good selection of dishes, ours were less spicy than we expected. Portions good not overpowering. Prices are reasonable although higher than we are used to paying for similar dishes, possibly due to the location.

Located overlooking the marina, with good food, good service & a nice atmosphere. Free parking next to Port Solent is a bonus. Moderate prices, would visit again when in the area.

Had the most amazing meal Look after very well I have a nut allergy so I'm very cautious They were very helpful Would highly recommend

Great atmosphere, good service, fantastic food and cocktails- mojito was excellent! We were a group of diners who certainly know good authentic Indian food and Parchee lived up to the restaurant expectations. Any issues we had with the food were sorted quickly and the staff did a really good job ensuring that allergies and intolerances (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and nut allergies) were all catered for. Would recommend both as a good location and as a great restaurant with good, tasty, well cooked food to visit 👍🏾

Warm welcoming, good customer service and well cooked meal with superb flavours. The korma was sweet and soft with the perfect flavoured made better with a company of oconut rice. The authentic Korai was rich and delightful. Will be sure to return when I next want an Indian!! Highly recommend this place. If your lucky could sit by the window viewing the marina.
