walked in,with 2 children, to enquire about the menu as there is nothing up outside. We were then rudely asked if it was for takeaway and then told "we don't do a kids menu (despite the fact we hadn't actually asked for one)Our children have been in countless curry houses and do not require a kids menu. It was very clear that they did not welcome children (even though the restaurant was, at this time, empty.would never return.

One of the best dine-in Indians in the local area. The Purbani is fairly small and always busy, so it’s best to book or order takeaway. The menu has all of the typical classics, with a few regional dishes on the specials menu that are worth trying. The staff are pleasant and have been very accommodating when asked to make a dish less or more spicier than what’s on the menu.

WOW 5***** If I could 10 stars I would Popped in for a curry visiting from Portsmouth. I had a butterfly prawn for starter , amazing biggest prawn I’ve ever seen & tasted amazing succulent. I had a combination of veg meals for the mains as I’m a veggie. The veg mains were amazing all fresh veg , no canned here. The service was excellent to. Portsmouth needs a curry house like this. 100 % recommended.

I went there for a meal last night with my friend. We were greeted and made to feel welcome. For my main course I had chicken madras, the sauce was very nice but the chicken was over cooked, it was hard as rock and generally not nice. Apart from that my experience was good but surly chicken is a basic for an Indian restaurant.

Our first visit to Purbani, Hedge End, whilst staying locally for personal reasons. We were attracted by the Summer Meal Deal offer, which sounded very good value, and we were not disappointed. The choice of dishes included in the deal was varied and the portions were full size. The flavour of the dishes was at the top end of the BIR range. Add to this the friendly, attentive, staff and the result was a most enjoyable evening. Thank you, Purbani.

We pop to the Purbani a couple of times a month usually with our friends and Arkan always finds us a table. Service & food is brilliant and we have the best time. Love the mixed kebab starter and all main courses I’ve tried are very tasty with just the right amount of spice, but the chef will always make hotter or milder for you just ask.

There is a wide selection to choose from without their going overboard. My friend and I both had onion bhajis to start. I had garlic chilli chicken for my main, with pilau rice - delicious! I'm going there again in a couple weeks with a large group so hope it will be just as good then.

Went to this restaurant after loads of positive advice to try it. But I was absolutely gutted with the food. The chicken was so dry, it wasn’t pleasant. The starter was pleasant. Popadoms were good and the dips. But two main things bothered us. We felt watched while having dinner, waiting constantly walking past staring at us. It felt uncomfortable. By the worst bit was the value for money. The meal deal looked good but really wasn’t. Was charged nearly £4.45 for 4 popadoms, and nearly £6 for 2 pretty small naans. All together the meal deal was £10 each. But our bill with soft drinks was £43. Seemed so steep for what it was. I will I’m future be going to Jewels in West end where I’ve never had a bad meal.

Good choice of dishes including balti and house specials; Cobra served in pints. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The style of food is different to other Indian restaurants - no bad thing, the difference is welcome - and I've enjoyed various dishes during different visits. Another advantage is relative ease of parking with a sliproad right outside.

The Purbani in Hedge End is only a small restaurant but the decor is very attractive and it is very clean and welcoming. The proprietor works extremely hard, but is very friendly and ensures that everyone gets served quickly and efficiently/. The menu is sufficiently varied to suit all palates from the hottest vindaloo to the mild korma and we feel their onion bhajis are the best -even beating the other Purbani in Botley (although we love it in there as well). Would thoroughly recommend a visit if you like this type of cuisine.

I have got to say I was blown away with flavours and spices of both dishes. My GF loved it too. Even the Nan bread was quality.

Would highly recommend going elsewhere for a large group meal. Myself and a party of 20 were going out for a friends birthday, we booked roughly 3 weeks in advance for a table for 9:00pm. We arrived at the restaurant to be told that they were too busy and to come back in half an hour, a discount would be applied. This I understand, however when returning half an hour later they said that they were not yet ready and we would need to wait a further 20/30 minutes, when saying how unacceptable this was to the manager he didn’t really seem to care and just said that we must understand that they are busy... if you can’t cater to that many people, don’t offer the reservation. Can’t comment on the food however heard nice things, won’t be returning and would recommend a 15 minute drive to town and visit the coriander lounge, great service and friendly management.

Whilst the food was OK - the service was appalling - the owner spent more time on the phone than doing any work - we had to keep reminding them for drinks and the meal turned up piecemeal; when one diner had finished the main the rice element then turned up! The response when saying to the owner about the service was "you don't have to come here - nobody forced you!!" - what a way to run a business and he is right - we don't have to go there and obviously won't.

We didn’t book and it was very busy, however the staff were very accommodating and allowed us to sit and wait with a drink while they found a table for us. All the staff in here are so friendly and they work as a really great team. It was such a lovely atmosphere to come in to and we both felt very welcome on our first visit.

Just had a takeaway, arrived at the time given and had to wait a further 20 minutes, when I arrived home and checked the not so very warm food I discovered that the dry vegatable curry was no more than a small amount of diced carrot a little potato and chickpea and a tub full of gravy, Gahri gosht was mainly large pieces of green pepper onion a little meat and tube of grease. No real apologie given when I phoned to complain before I ate it or any offer of replacing, very poor food with even worse customer service levels, I won't be going back.

We were recognised straight away by the young manager on entering and given a good table by the window. The whole evening was superb from customer service to the exquisite food. We were given a complimentary starter to try which was a good touch and the pakora was superb. We really enjoyed our mains and the side of sag aloo was superb. We were offerred a free drink after our meal. The 2 young men running the restaurant our full of enthusiasm andm energy. The restaurant is modern and looks good.We will be coming back again and again if they keep up the good standards. The restaurant was busy the fresh salad tasty and the Rose for my partner was another great touch.

The Purbani is our regular "go to" restaurant as it is a walk away from home. We booked an early table last Wednesday and it was a quiet night so we were able to enjoy our food in a leisurely way, and had time to chat to Arkan, our favourite Manager. Our meal was, as always, delicious, tasty and plentiful. They have a new wine list and we chose a very excellent bottle of Malbec. I would suggest that the wine list menu should be reprinted as it was only later that we noticed the less expensive wines as they were printed further down the list whereas normally they would be at the start and then wines usually go down the page from the cheapest to the dearest. Nevertheless the wine was very good and the evening was a treat. We shall be back for another meal next week - to celebrate a friend's 90th birthday!Jeanette - Hedge End.

Was seated in a booth by the bar/kitchens. Not a good idea for a Saturday night when a queue of people are standing by your table constantly waiting for take-aways and you want a romantic quiet meal out. Starters and poppadoms were okay, but the main courses were a let down. Naan bread was small, Sali Boti chicken was certainly not tender, nor was the chicken vindaloo. Cheap cuts of meat! No house wine on the menu and only two rose to choose from and cheapest being £17.50 a bottle. Will not visit again.

I have been coming to this restaurant regularly since it was refurbished and changed management. The food has always been of a high standard and the staff is welcoming and attentive. A real pleasure to visit.

Tried making a small order. Wasent made clear on the phone about minimum card payments. telephone mannor was poor very limited custuner interaction. Rude on arrival. Would rather turn bussniess away than take card payment under 8.50. Would much rather spend 8.50 in fuel to go somewhere where they respect fheir custumers.
