Rimjhim in East Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Who do the staff members of this restaurant think they are in rushing paying customers through their meal?? Being stared at whilst eating their average curries and being presented with the bill an hour into our meal without even asking for it? Wtf …. It’s not sour grapes either to honestly state the place needs a thorough deep clean

Food was okay - but doesn't make up for how grumpy the staff are, and the fact that the restaurant itself should be shut down and deep cleaned. What a dump.

We could rely on this as as a default curry destination.always very good. Sad.was awful,hope this was just a random bad evening.

We went for a meal on a Thursay evening and it's a good thing we booked as the restaurant filled up very quickly after 19:30. We were greeted by three very friendly gentlemen and taken to a comfortable table . The evening was very chilly, but the restaurant was lovely and warm. We had three different starters. The monkfish was the winner. Three different main courses. Lamb, chicken, and fish. They were all delicious, but we all thought there could have been more meat and not quite so much sauce. The sauces all looked very much the same but were very different in flavour. One rice was sufficient between 3 and 1 delicious garlic naan. I was disappointed as I'd saved a space for desert and was looking forward to Gulab Jamon (?) which wasn't available. We love this restaurant , the tasty food and the friendly staff

Rushed service. Table booked for 6.45pm, waiter tapping the bill at 7.50pm. Never felt so rushed at a restaurant. Absolutely appalling. This was for a birthday meal with friends and a complete waste of time. I will not be returning and I will be warning others over social media groups of wimborne and surrounding not to bother unless you wanted a rushed meal.

Arrived and everything was going well. Table booked for 6.30/6.45. We felt rushed by waiters to get on with it but at no time were we told we had to be out by 8. Bill arrived even though we didn’t ask for it and waiter came back to table and was tapping the bill with his fingers. They just wanted us out so next people could sit down. We thought we would have a lovely long time to catch up with each other but no home by 8.30 feeling very deflated, it was my birthday too hurrah not!

Was catching up with friends and reserved a table weeks ago. Walked in and the guy behind the bar seemed vague and almost like they didnt have a booking for us. They pushed 2 tables together to make space. Ordering of food ok. Food was excellent but thats where the experience ended. We finished our meal and were asked if we wanted desserts. Left a couple of menu. As with friends we were chatting but every couple of minutes we were asked do you want desserts as though trying to hurry us along. Decided we would just like coffee or tea which was on the menu. We were then told they couldnt make them as the kitchen was too busy...what restaurant doesnt serve hot drinks at end of meal. Then 2 minutes later the bill was put on the table without us asking. We carried on chatting with staff walking past looking at us. Then the person from behind came up, tapped the bill and said 'Could you look at this' I asked if we were being thrown out? He said 'No but want you to pay the bill'. Never have I been out for a meal where restaurant was so busy they couldn't serve refreshments or virtually been pressured to pay the bill. Nothing like putting a dampner on our evening.

We visited Rhimjims last night for the first time after living in the area for 5 years - we just never got around to visiting before! We were welcomed like old friends. The service from the helpfull, welcoming & knowledgable waiter was exceptional - we had the best evening! The food was beautiful & just a little bit different. I particularly loved the momo starter. Thank you for a perfect evening.

This was my first visit and it won’t be the last, best Indian I have ever had . Excellent food and service and great value for money

Very rude poor service from waiter who just laughed at us when we advised that our curries were cold. The waiter then proceeded to put his fingers in Bombay potatoes and tell us that they were hot and not particularly raw. After trying to explain that the waiter couldn’t taste what we were eating with his folk he then proceeded to rationally insult us -to which we requested the bill and left immediately without finishing our food. NEVER TO RETURN VERY RUDE

After reading many good reviews for Rimjhim myself and my wife ate there for the first time tonight. Unfortunately we felt a little underwhelmed on leaving. - despite booking fairly early we were standing for a considerable time in a queue waiting for a table whilst people were eating, it felt like we were hurrying up existing diners so we could claim they’re table - the mains mostly consisted of sauce with very little core ingredient and the portions were a little on the small side anyhow - on finishing you could tell the waiters were a little edgy and wanted us to vacate the table asap so people in the queue could be seated at our table. ……. Dining out shouldn’t be rushed, the restaurant was very plain without any effort made at all, I’ve had far better meals in Indian/Nepalese restaurants for sure.

We came to the restaurant last year in August and loved it..our recent visit. We went away disappointed. It was the £16 seafood starter. It was worth probably £7. Supposed to be for 2 . The portion size was small. The squid absolutely disgusting. Chewy and horrible. The prawns were dry, the salmon was ok had a nice flavour. Even the front of house said , oh you didn't eat the squid. I said, yes it wasn't very nice. Was not even offered a discount. And what you get for £16 is shameful. I actually would be embarrassed to serve this and charge £16. The rest of the food was good. Papadoms nice, Gurkha curry, nice, rice nice, nan bread nice. Overall it was good but the sea food platter for 2, overpriced and quality was very poor Sorry guys but you need to improve this.

No parking available at the restaurant. Good welcome and immediately shown to our reserved table for seven persons. Suberb menu, plenty of choice for everybody. Attentive service, excellent food and all keenly priced. The restaurant was full and as tables emptied they refilled. Clearly they are doing plenty of things right.

This is probably my second review but the food is so good it deserves it !! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is outstanding. We move around the country quite a bit but always come back to visit my husbands parents and whenever we do the only nonnegotiable is a visit to the amazing Indian restaurant while we are here!!

The best curry we have had in a very long time,subtle fresh flavours, husbands was hot but had lots of deep spicy layers of garlic, chilli .

Popped in early as the restaurant just opened, so very quiet. Service was prompt and the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic variety of flavours, with some really distinctive tastes and without overpowering each dish with chillies. We particularly enjoyed the chilli bangoor pork starter and the lamb achari and herby chicken main dishes, but there was no weak link in all our choices.

Always great pickles/papadums and excellent Lamb(tender...) Madras! Attentive and pleasant service and we'll be a regular here when we move shortly!

The team were very and accommodating. They catered for dietary needs and a late booking. Price was good considering the excellent standard of food

We have been here several times and it is always amazing. The food is fantastic, the service is very quick and always with a smile.

We have been to RimJhim in the past and had terrific food, but sadly not this time. We sat at a table that was indicated to us from the bar area in the middle of the restaurant and then given menus and asked what we...

We randomly found ourselves in Wimborne and wanted a cooked evening meal. The town seemed dead on a Wednesday night but this restaurant was buzzing. We only managed to get a table because someone else failed to turn up for their booking. The food was...

On business in the area so I called in for my evening meal. Starter was fabulous, really good selection of chutney etc with poppadoms. Draught Cobra was spot on and reasonably priced for a nice restaurant. Great selection of main courses, I eventually chose the...

My friend booked a table weeks ago for 7:30, she got asked by the restaurant a few days before if we could change to 6:30. We arrived at 6:30, the waiter kept nudging us to order, our food showed up quickly, we were still eating...

Squeezing us in on a busy Saturday night, we were most impressed with the friendly welcome. We enjoyed three flavoursome courses - all splendidly presented, and served with good humour and professionalism. We will definitely be returning!

Had a takeaway on new years, great service and the food was delicious. Best Indian I’ve had in years, not greasy and plenty of flavour. Great vegetarian options too! Will definitely be coming back to dine in

I had heard good things about this place, so I booked a table for my friends and I. We arrived at the time of our reservation and waited patiently for 20 minutes before the manager told us that our table wouldn't be ready for another...

Yet another great meal, friendly and very helpful staff. As ever great to reassure my wife who is coeliac on the preparation of the food. She has a strong intolerance to gluten and even from cross contamination in preparation can write her off for days....

Two different dishes both the same colour and taste.disappointed won’t be going back. Ones a tikka masala and the other is Makhani

my experience here was excellent staff was welcoming ,food was delicious and fresh definitely dinning here again.

This is the first time we have used this restaurant for a takeaway. Without doubt this was the tastiest and best quality takeaway we have ever had. The staff were exceptionally polite and professional. Will definitely be returning. Thank you

Great food, high quality meat and friendly staff, my only gripe was the tables are very close and felt very cramped, would recommend a visit for the food though

Been there few times, fresh and delicious foods. We ordered authentic Nepalese food and they are really tasty. Staffs are very friendly. Reasonable price and a lot of choices. Highly recommended.

Our first visit to this restaurant. Recommended by a friend. Booking made by email and three of us attended. Met by very welcoming staff and restaurant already very busy and doing take away also. The food and service were first class and I can highly...

Last minute decision to get take out, curries were delicious and the chicken was really well cooked and tender. Just what we needed at the end of the week. 😋

We had dinner here for the first time, we had a really great meal and the staff friendly and welcoming. Not your usual Indian which was great as it made you try something you not eaten before, we both tried dishes for the first time...

Excellent restaurant avec un très gentil accueil , les plats sont délicieux et copieux, nous recommandons +++ Excellent food, warm...

Very impressed with the curry here and the hospitable staff . Really nice atmosphere and friendly nature staff. The rack of lamb was toooo gooood.I will definitely be back.

I don't know where to start with this little gem, but all I can say is flavour! The chef really cares about he's food and not just in terms of presentation as the meat and chicken quality was excellent. The lamb dumplings for starters is...

Great Indian restaurant in the heart of wimborne. Nice choice of either regular Indian dishes and some more unusual ones from other regions. Quick service and good food portions. Very attentive staff. Overall a good experience and would recommend especially for their Nepalese dishes.

My hopes were high as this restaurant seems to be very popular with the locals. My husband and I have wanted to try this place for ages, since we moved to Wimborne recently. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. I do wonder if it was just...

I don't think you can find a better Indian restaurant outside of India. The atmosphere is so pleasant, the wait staff are incredible friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious, with a big selection. They pack things well for takeout and service is great...

Second visit to this excellent friendly restaurant: very interesting menu with plenty of choice of Indian & Nepalese dishes & drinks. Third visit booked for tonight & another in December to explore more tasty well served food: good to have this restaurant in walking distance...

I went to the Rimjhim with 3 friends recently and tried a Nepalese chicken dish. I hadn't eaten Nepalese food before and was delighted with my choice. One of the best "Indian" dishes I've ever had. The staff were good and the decor was perfect....

Always love visiting!!! Delicious food, wonderful staff!! Always have a great time Thank you for another yummy dinner :D see you soon !

Stayed in Wimborne for a holiday and visited twice in the 10 days. Excellent curry and service. The restaurant is small and both nights extremely noisy, everyone was happy to be there.

Refreshingly different menu. Gurkhas Revenge and madras were both good. Slightly noisy but it was full. Helpful staff. Would recommend.

Our family group selected 4 individual dishes &, unusually, we all agreed that the food served was among the best we have eaten The friendly & efficient service could not be faulted with clear descriptions of the menu options & answers to our enquiries. The...

After trying the delicious indian food last time, we tried the nepalese food this time. It was just delicious, and the service is amazing. We really love this place.

Very impressed with the curry here and the hospitable staff , king prawn Biriani very good and the prawns were decent. Chicken korai and masala both very good too and substantial meals, The naan breads were top notch, thin and crispy and very tasty. Also...

This restaurant is right in the centre of town. I wasn't sure how it would be when I booked but it turned out to be excellent. Everyone in our group very much enjoyed their meal. The manager was very helpful; he made sure that we...

Visited here whilst on holiday in the area. Tuesday night meant a 15% discount and the food was lovely. Nicely presented and tasted great. There's only a few tables so even on a Tuesday night we were glad we booked. Highly recommended.

We visited Rimjhim last week to have our dinner and enjoyed throughly. We were politely greeted and made comfortable. Food was lovely and freshly prepared.good air conditioning inside. Love to visit again.

We went there for a family gathering and had a lovely evening. staff are very friendly. Food is awesome. I will surely visit soon.

Lovely staff. Lovely food , highly recommended Great atmosphere, will definitely come again! £50 for two of us including wine so reasonably priced

We visited last week for the first time and had the most delicious meal, it was presented beautifully and the staff were so helpful in pointing out dishes that were vegan. Thank you so much, we will be back soon!

We had a superb takeaway meal to treat my shielding mother-in-law. The food was perfect, beautifully cooked and so full of flavour. I'm always impressed when you can still taste the fresh ingredients as well as the spice. What joy! It was our first experience...

The food at Rhimjim's is always delicious! The waiters are great and they put a lot of care and attention into making customers experience fun. The food is always amazing, cant reccomend highly enough!

We ate here last week and had an exceptional meal - the food was delicious! I had clay oven grilled chicken with black lentils - succulent and tasty. My husband had duck with garlic and chilli - so tender! Great choice of dishes on the...

This is what I expect from this type of restaurant. A varied menu, tender meat and a full flavoured meal. What a delight for the tastebuds! Everything was fresh, well cooked and full of flavour. The best curry I’ve had in years. Lovely staff too....

Wednesday evening, early, glad we booked as it filled up very quickly. Having now eaten we understand why, the food is amazing. We had a Kathmandu Lamb and a Passanda Lamb, both hearty, succulent, tender and delicious. Definately book again next time in Wimborne.

We ordered a takeaway this evening and once again we were impressed by the freshness of the food and the level of service offered. Staff are friendly and polite and the food tastes fresh and yummy! This is the second time we have eaten here,...

Had a meal yesterday, it was great. My friend suggested me and I found the service really great. Lovely staff. Also, food was so delicious. I will visit again soon.

Excellent service, stafff are really friendly love to visit again and again, definately recommended for indian and nepalese food.

Great Indian/Nepalese. Brilliant food, excellent service and the restaurant was completely packed on a Thursday night which is always a good sign.

I’m really disappointed with recent takeaway service. I’ve been supporting our local Indian restaurant for years but I feel I can’t anymore. The last few takeaways we’ve been waiting for a long time, about an hour to then get home and find they have missed,...

Lovely meal. Exceptionally friendly and polite staff. All of the food was delicious and fresh. The sauces were just right. Thanks for a lovely evening. I think we have found our new favourite restaurant.

Take away order for New Years Eve. Phoned up to place order and told to collect 40 minutes later. Arrived at the restaurant 40 minutes later to be greeted by 10-15 other people waiting (couldn’t get in the door at first as so many people...

Hi ordered curry, told to collect at 6.00. Husband took me down as parking is an issue. I walked in to find lots of people sitting waiting. They told me 2 take a seat. Husband still waiting in car. At 6.25, totally fed up and...

Staff did not wear masks; poppadoms were stale; coke was flat and £2.95 for a glass that was NOT 330ml stated in menu. When we expressed our dissatisfaction no action was taken and we were still charged for all we had, and no apology was...

Just visited for the first time with my wife. Wonderful service 1st class food. Good price. Highly recommend.

One of the best Indian Restaurants we have visited. The food was outstanding and the king prawn jalfrazi was amazing. Service very good too. Would definitely return if we are back in the area.

My wife & I came at half 8 Friday evening on a date. Kathmandu lamb curry was superlative, my wife said best curry she'd ever had. We could not manage all of it, but we had it boxed up to take home.

Wow...what to say about this restaurant..Welcoming and friendly had the best food here.From the moment you get in nothing is too much trouble.Sat down and was immediately served with popadums and the tastiest pickles to accompany our pints of cobra..our mains were delicious.King prawn dhansak,saffron rice and sides.Such and extensive menu was hard to choose..cannot wait to come back

Excellent. Best Indian food ever. Perfect service. Loved it recommend. Amazing. What more can we say.

Very covid compliant!! Screens between tables. Really enjoyed the meal! The restaurant staff were very good.

This is the best restaurant i have ever been to. Everybody should visit this restaurant as it is specticular and the stafs are very friendly. Also, the food is delicious!

Lovely food, great atmosphere and very attentive staff! The service was really good. Strongly recommend. Thank you.

A warm welcome and friendly service on a busy Friday night. Food was excellent and although there was a delay as they were very busy really didn't mind as the food was worth the wait and staff apologetic. Would definitely recommend 👌

As always the food was magnificent and the evident efforts made to deal with social distancing and hygiene were very comforting. We particularly enjoyed the poppadoms! The welcome and service were very friendly. We will definitely return.

Absolutely brilliant service, very much commendable- lovely food! Would recommend!! Absolutely brilliant!

We have eaten here on many occasions and had celebrations here, each time we are always completely satisfied.The menu is a little bit different and all dishes executed to a high standard. The service had always been cheerful and attentive. We have never had a dish that has not been Delicious, they do get busy so its a good idea to book .

Six friends enjoyed a meal here. The staff were helpful and service was good. The menu is very varied. We would return.

Great meal today, as always.Very well served by Indre.Lamb hyderabadi is one of my favourite dishes here and was delicious.Paneer tikka shashlik was very good as well.Okra here is exceptional.Staff are always friendly and willing to go the extra mile for the customer.

OK so not authentic vegetarian Nepalese but a fusion with Indian British and some Nepalese influence make this a great place to eat. For spice go Ghurka's revenge..sublime or for those less spice leaning try Rack of Lamb..or any other vegetarian option...

Amazing staff and beautiful food and cocktails. Friendly people and good atmosphere. Welcoming staff and waiters are extremely friendly. Quality food and popadoms.

Rimjhim is a restaurant with a tasty twist on far eastern cuisine. Wonderful flavours from a really unusual menu specialising in Nepalese food. The food here has layers of other dimentions going on that we found a lovely refreshing change.

We visited after Christmas and very busy. Good choice of dishes. Very generous serving, staff and service excellent. Would recommend.

Visited here between Christmas and New Year.Nice variety of choices on menu, so no trouble decided what to eat.Food was delicious when it arrived.Would go again to try something different on menu. Only negative I would say was the waiting time between courses - perhaps just unlucky on this particular day given the time of year.

Great location and superb food, often enjoy an evening here with some guys after football. Always great service and food. Highly recommended!

Possibly 40 miles! These guys are good and make sure you book well ahead. The Ghurka's revenge is spicy and amazing on the palate.Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic food, best place in Winchester town definitely recommend coming to rimjhim for some quality Indian food.

Disappointed with Rimjhim, after 2 different friends recommending this restaurant as being superb, 4 of us decided to give the restaurant a try and our expectations were high.

Well was looking forward to this meal for the first time . Pickles were poor . Service very slow . Beer was just like water so weak

We both ordered Chicken Jalfrezi mains and they were perfect. The service was excellent as well. Will go back again, thanks

Lovely meal last night. Very well served by Indre. The lamb hyderabadi is one of the best dishes. Staff are always friendly and willing to go the extra mile for the customer.

Very small and compact restaurant but great service and huge variety of dishes including some completely new dishes not experienced before. Would strongly recommend.
