Sanjha Punjabi Restaurant & Caterings in Southampton

I ordered a takeaway from here last night and it did not disappoint! Takes around 1 hour for delivery so make sure to order well in advance. Food was still hot when arrived which was good and such an authentic taste. We ordered a lamb madras, lamb was nice and tender, rice, bombay potatoes, onion bhargi, keema naan bread and poppadoms. The curry has a good kick of spice to it and we throughly enjoyed it. Will be ordering from here again next we fancy an Indian takeaway.

A big thank you to Amar Randhawa and all the Southern team from all of us at Highcliffe Rotary Club for a wonderful dinner on 15 August. All our club Rotarians can't stop singing praises about the meal, the welcome, the atmosphere, and how we were all looked after. Thank you.

Good food but too spicy. I had a vegetarian option as I love Paneer but it's too spicy hot. If it had the same spiciness as the chicken Tikka masala thatc would have been great

Friendly service. Really good, busy atmosphere. Resanably price. Tasty food. Had the Tikka Korma .. the chicken was delicately spiced on its own, when mixed with the korma sauce, it bought out the best combinations of flavours. Wednesday nights, they do a tandoori deal.. which smelt and looked moreish. The only issue was the unisex toilets. Regular floor cleaning/ wiping and toilet seat wiping is needed for gentlemen who can't aim..

We used Sanjha as our caterer for our daughter’s wedding last year and they did not disappoint us and everyone was praising the food and the service. We went to the restaurant for the one year anniversary meal today and the experience was even more exceptional. We have tried different curry houses all over the UK but this is by far one of the best. The food is so fresh, the service is excellent. Recommend this place to everyone.

Another excellent evening with friends. Excellent service and food, with a vibrant atmosphere. Staff could not do enough for us .

I can honestly say just had one of the best dinning experiences ever The level of service and quality of food was nothing short of exemplary. The food is amazing and of high quality. We were not rushed at all dispute being very busy making it a very enjoyable social evening for our party of 4. We shared a vegetable and meat starter platter which where both very good Mains were the 2x Lawrence Road de Tawa da Lamb, Chicken Korma, Yellow Daal, rice and Naans. Can highly recommend the Lamb dish so very flavourful and perfect level of spice Given some complementary dessert which was a nice touch Easily in top 3 curry restaurants in Southampton.

Ordered collection as well to be honest I couldn’t be bothered to cook. Got the food home and it was tasty and still very hot temperature wise - great. I had a chicken biryani, so much chicken and tasted delicious. Well worth the money and would gladly order from here again, authentic taste, friendly staff & large portions for the money.

Went for Valentines dinner with my wife. As always restaurant provided excellent food, drinks and service. Restaurant was well decorated for the occasion, with complimentary rose and drinks. Staff could not do enough.

Not so good this time…. I had lamb and was poorly prepared with too much gristle in it. You dont expect that at Sanjha!! Watch out for the chairs as two people on getting crashed theirs noisily to the ground (they are seemingly very back-heavy). Part of very beautiful new furniture however the inlaid tables are amazing.

Great atmosphere and good service. Veggie pakoras were crispy and delicious. We think shrinkflation has occurred as the portion sizes were smaller than what we remember. Shame the Lamb was grisly which does not bode well for future non vegetarian choices for us. Hope the standard of food stays good as we love eating there. Proper authentic Punjabi desi flavours should not be compromised because that is key to successful North Indian food.

I love this place ! I always get excited when I’m there. The food is so delicious! Indian food on ‘the next level’! Love the flavours and diverse menu. Check out the lunch menu for great value!

Excellent pre Christmas get together with friends and family. Excellent food and excellent service!! Vibrant atmosphere with friendly staff and mouth watering food.

Firstly upon entering, the atmosphere is very cozy and the decor is amazing. Very lovely. We ordered 2 drinks and the set menu for 2. This was a tad confusing at first but essentially you get the starters together then separate dishes one of each main then 2 deserts. You also get popadoms. I was offered to have my starters placed separately to the meat as I'm vegetarian which was very thoughtful. Popadoms were lovely and crisp. The chutneys were very nice also. Starters were lovely I had the vegetable and and the veg samosa. Nice and lightly cooked. My friend opted to try the Murgh Malai , fish pakora and the Gosht Seekh which he liked very much also. The main was Butter Chicken,Lahori Kadhai Lamb, Saag Paneer Tadka Daal, Pulao Rice & Mixed Naan Basket. We split between meat and non and both found our dishes very tasty. the only slight issue was the Saag Paneer as it was pretty much a paste in the dish with what appeared to be 2 paneer pieces. We tried but were not able to finish. The desert we decided to take away with us opting for the Gajjar Halwa and Gulab Jamun. this was in a tuppawear pot and the Gajjar Halwa was not so good by the time we got up the road however the Jamun was very tasty still lovely light hint of flavours and very soft delicate texture. All in all a pleasant new experience and the staff were very welcoming, helpful with our questions and requests. Thank you!

We had a takeaway. The quality was excellent and food nice and hot with good portions. It did take 90 minutes to be delivered on a quiet Tuesday night which was disappointing. We’ll eat there again but for a sit down rather than a delivery.

Haven't been since pre COVID. We had the 'house specials' rather than standard Dhansak, Pathia, Biryani etc And they were very good. Busy, so probably need to book, though we got lucky with a Friday night (late) walk in for the only free table.

Well after 3 rather rubbish curries elsewhere up and down the country, Sanjha deserves a simple one word review. Delicious

Had not what I wanted on the menu and the after service was absolutely not good and I spend good money in there…no more though

Absolutely disgusting service from the restaurant and the owner just wasn’t happy to listen.absolutely disgusted with the restaurant

The best Indian restaurant in Southampton and a firm favorite. The food is lovely tasty and always pipping hot. The staff is helpful and very accommodating. It a place where you can eat good food in a relax surrounding..We love it

We had heard of the restaurant and had travelled from Nottingham, the staff were very attentive and food came out piping hot. Dishes tasted great and if we ever return back to Southampton would definitely visit again!

Was in the area local to Sanjha and we popped in to takaway a few starters for snacks. We really enjoyed the tandoori items with all strong and subtle flavours being very well balanced. We hope to dine in very soon.

Absolutely awful delivered the wrong dish we have been having the same dish for two years. Then on calling was told that they would only send one dish to replace … we were supposed to reheat the rest rice nan bread etc until the replacement...

I happened to visit southampton during the new years time. After a tiring day spent in west cowes, in isle of wight, we decided to look for a nice Indian restaurant for dinner. Came across this place Sanjha in Google search. After reading the story...

Easily the best Indian in Southampton, every time I dine out for Indian somewhere else in Southampton I seem to find it's either to bland and lacks authenticity, usually just to feed a larger volume of demand, so chefs may just focus on getting the...

Absolutely amazing food. We had the thali and it was so tasty. Very good value. Lovely lady served us. Highly recommend to anyone in the area plus lots of gluten free options…

This is one of the most overrated Indian food restaurants in Southampton. The manager is extremely rude and lacks basic etiquettes. The food (most of it) is overpriced, tasteless and not even close to real Indian food. We spent about 90 pounds on a meal...

First visit here after recommendation. Friendly service and really good food. What let’s it down is the ability to deal with food intolerances.

Very poor lamb biryani no spices, no curry pata no ilaichi. someone had just mixed lamb with poor quality rice. mi vegetable pakora- did not have any vegetables except onion

My heritage is Punjabi even though I'm English. I haven't had food that authentically from a dhaba on GT Road since being in Punjab, or even in Delhi. Spectacular food, particularly the kali daal and the lachcha parathas. And excellent service, but the stand out...

The food is delicious and tasty, the decor and music were great and the servers were polite and friendly. However, a lot of food marked GF on the menu are actually cooked in fryers that are used to cook other non-coeliac friendly items. If you're...

First visit here, we were not disappointed. Food was amazing, loved the beautiful furniture. Service and staff were amazing . Thank you

Called in off spec as This was my first night in the area, whilst out getting my bearings I found this restaurant. They had a good vegan and vegetarian selection so tried to get a table for one. Unfortunately they had a full cover and...

Fancied an Indian - sanjha the worst choice ever made the food was soooo sweet no spice it was like cream and sweetener was added to the dish. Will never order / come here again

We went for lunch the restaurant is looking so beautiful village style but food was worst all the dishes are very sweet and I don’t recommend to anyone

The food is excellent at reasonable prices. It has a wide choice of authentic dishes, very yummy and well cooked. The staff are very pleasant with a lovely atmosphere. I would definitely eat here again and again, and recommend it to friends.

Not nice . I was recommended this restaurant but it tasted like cat food . To high profile go to your local corner shop . The sauce wasn't nice I've had better bean juice off a out of date can of beans

This is my favourite indian takeaway. I have tried many other takeaways and Sanjha is the best so far.

This was my 6th visit to Sanjha but it was so disappointing.1) Mirchi Vada starter served with stale, cold chilli. When complained about it, got some unsatisfactory answers covering chef's side.2) Tall Waitress said "I don't even know these dishes in the menu" for every single thing on the menu card. In reality it was her job to explain recipes.3) 'Kumbh Hare Pyaas aur bhutte' has baby corn written on the menu. However it wqs served with Sweet corn. When questioned, the lady manager(?) said "Isn't it the same thing" (?)I am done with this restaurant.

Mi pareja y yo pedimos comida para llevar de este establecimiento última noche después de leer todas las críticas increíbles, para descubrir que era la más horrible indio de degustación que hemos tenido! Cuando llegó la comida, parecía como un microondas comida del único Dios sabe donde! En segundo lugar nos tuvimos que calor como estaba fría! En tercer lugar nunca ir allí, era verdaderamente horrible, estoy tan siento decir. Sin embargo, si lo que quieres es excelente comida ir a Everest (que solía ser o.s.h p en la ciudad)

llevar ordenados en los consejos de tienda local de esquina. 27/12/2014

Terrible take away meal received, would certainly not recommend this take away to anyone!!! Awful. We have eaten Biryani and Bhuna meals as our favourite choice for years, and never had one this bad...

Sanjha is a Punjabi Indian food restaurant which offers either eat in or take out service with a discount coupon. I love the Korma variety. It is delicious and so fresh. Highly recommend this restaurant.

As my title suggests this restaurant doesn't just go with the norm. The dishes are authentic style and not just for the english palate. The menu still has usual english indian dishes on - if you like.The food is very tasty, hot, fresh and nicely served up. Some will say it is a little gimmicky perhaps...But why not if you are going to a restaurant. It's fine to go to an american diner and sit in booths made out of Cadillacs so.....The service was good. I wanted to leave a tip but we didn't bring cash - Most restaurants offer add gratuity to your card payment but they didn't here. The waitress said they had suggested it to the boss but it hasn't been implemented. You should get it done! Cobra on draught... :)Price was fantastic. If this were in a big city centre I think the prices would be a lot higher and I would be happy to pay more for what we received. I think due to the location the pricing is right. We payed £55 for 2 courses and a few beers.The only disappointing thing for me is the location! Bit of a nightmare parking. But once you are inside you could be anywhere in the world. The atmosphere was great too! We were a table of 2 on Saturday 25th October at 1930. This was our second visit here and both have been great. We will be back with our friends.

Fantastic food, very reasonable, wonderful atmosphere - definitely go back. Went with friends and we all really enjoyed the evening.

I was really pleased when the Sanjha originally opened, offering a refreshing alternative to the standard British Bengali menu. The dishes are more recognisable as authentic indian, generally a little spicier and and supported by more natural flavours. It was great to see them do well and open up an interesting little restaurant adjacent to the takeaway. Unfortunately, standards have slipped a bit. The food lacks care, the ingredients they are using (especially the meat) are not the same quality, I suspect they are actually cooking a lot of the dishes before hand now and simply warming them. Service seems to have got disinterested too, not sure it's the same friendly and helpful people working there. I hope it improves, but as things stand I'll only find out second hand as I'm not going to bother with them again.

I discovered this little gem a year ago and since have been going back there regularly. If you looking for the real deal and not something altered to suit the palate of those that have no idea what real Indian should taste like then Sanjha is the place.Consistent quality and service every time. My favourites on the menu:Dahi PuriSaag wala meatMasaledar naali ghostThe puris parathas and naans are all good. Gulab jamun and mango cheese cakes for desert.Fresh lime soda a must have.If you want a quick bite on the go the aloo tikki roll is perfect.

I had my wedding party here I love the food and everything staff was friendly very flaxible they open earlier just for us thanxxx AMAR u hv done great job mate thanxxxx

Awful food, rude. Had a pathia and tasted nothing like a pathia! No rice! Half a poppadom! Could take it if tastes nice but was very poor

Each time we have any food from Sanjha( Shirley, Southampton, UK ) , we face terrible stomach pain or any other physical abnormality.I also checked with other of my friend and they faced same issue.Very bad experience,never ever go.

I love Indian food and i have eaten at many Indian restaurants over the years but i must say that outside of India this was probably the best curry i have had the pleasure of eating! Everything was so authentic right down to the metal cups and the decor. The food was amazing and it was clear that it was cooked from scratch with the freshest ingredients plus it looked so much more vibrant and colourful unlike the usual samey reheated slop you get in some other restaurants. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the management/owners seem to make a point of getting to know the customers which i thought was great. All in all a truly lovely meal, evening and experience. If i wasn't soo full i would have tried more of their delicious food. Get down there and book a table! You won't be disappointed.

Good Punjabi veg food, we ordered a variety of vegitarian food from starter to main course. all was good.The host and staff were very friendly. I will surely recommend this place to others

This place used to do good food but has gone down hill, they don't care about regular customers, or the quality of the food they produce. Expect a gamble, either a 4 star meal or a 1 star soup\goup that not even your dog will eat! (Mine didn't)

The food here is authentic, traditional Indian food. Whilst they do serve the usual array of curries they also have a large variety of vegetarian dishes which you can have as a main or side dish. The atmosphere is friendly & laid back. The decor is basic, though you could imagine such a restaurant would exist in India. A refreshing change from the usual curry houses.

i have been there a few times now with large groups & had takeaways, definately one of the best around at the moment,. staff very friendly & helpful, food amazing & great choice

We visited Paultons World and stayed up in Southampton. We searched and found this place which also does take aways. We went to pick up the food. I was amazed to see the restaurant interiors and they way Punjabi culture has been show cased. We spoke with the Manager in my language Punjabi. The food quality was amazing and the quantity was good. I live in Basildon (Essex) and most of the so called Indian restaurants are run by people from Bangladesh background. This was real curry food. There are very few authentic punjabi restaurants in Essex, the good ones are in Southall. I wish Sanjha chula can open a Branch in Essex. It would be great.....

I have had several takeaways from Sanjha in the past and always rated it highly. So thought would try the restaurant too. Decor is a definite step up from the standard flock wallpaper curry house with interesting drink vessels, cutlery and serving bowls too. Service was friendly and very prompt, especially as there was a large party in at the same time.Food in the main was good, I especially enjoyed the Mirchi Vada which I had wanted to try previously, but didn't think would survive a takeaway delivery! Tandoori mixed grill was huge - couldn't finish it which is unusual. My friend enjoyed her vegetable biriani too, although we both thought that the vegetable curry which accompanied both of our dishes was very poor - insipid with an uninspring mix of vegetables. I have genuinely had better out of a tin. Will definitely return though, and if having something that comes with the mentioned curry, will ask if it can be swapped for one of the vegetable dishes from the menu - which have always been excellent in takeaways.

This is a delivery order that was placed online. Worst Indian meal we've had in Shirley, there are far better takes outs! Delivery time was quoted as 1h 15minutes, but we still had to wait an hour and a half! When it arrived everything was only 'warm' (not hot), which meant the naan were soggy, as were the onion rings (which tasted like cheap frozen ones). Everything tasted fairly salty, including with watery mint / yoghurt sauce. The mango chutney must have been watered down too. My chicken balti tasted hot and sour, but without much depth of flavour (which was unusual), and too salty for my palate. It was also a lot greasier than we've been used to recently, most resturaunts I've used in last few years have cut back on the ghee / oil. On the plus side there was a lot of chicken, but I've had better quality. Most of it went in the bin. We were offered a free dish with our next order, because of the delay, but we won't be ordering again.

Not to my taste, although I'm a straight-up Korma, Passanda, Tikka Masala sort of guy. Large helpings though and doggie bags to take home, all eaten the following night apart from mine, which no-one else liked, so maybe I just made a bad choice. Nice atmosphere though and always a good sign to see Indian families eating in an 'Indian' restaurant.Will probably try again and pick another dish, but what appeared to be a Chicken Korma-style dish wasn't at all what I expected, with a VERY watery sauce.

Went in with some friends to try out this place as so much people have said how great food was...... Well I was not impressed at all, firstly the poppodum was not as crunchy and the sauce was so tasteless, no flavour... So that was not a good start, then the main dishes was not to standard. So wont be going there again ....

Again visited this superb restaurant on Saturday.We were the first customers for the evening, arriving at 17.35 but it was no problem for the owner who ensured we had everything we required, served at the relaxed pace I prefer.I asked the owner what the chefs speciality was and she told me the "Punjabi Chicken but it comes on the bone" I said that wouldn't be a problem and it wasn't, the dish was superb, not overly hot but very flavoursome and certainly different from anything I've eaten previously.I also had (again) the Dal Makhni with Bhaturas, now if you've never eaten this dish at this restaurant you haven't lived, it is a dish to die for believe me!! I have tried many times to recreate this particular dish and sadly failed on ever occasion, so this time I asked the owner exactly how the chefs make it, and was I surprised!! The Chefs at this restaurant make their Dal Makhni over a 48 hours period, simmering the black urid dal, letting the spices infuse, then adding the cream and final spices, now isn't dedication and skill to a profession taken to its limits?I would add that it is reasonably priced and spotlessly clean, the service is everything you could wish for and the food out of this world, simply the best Indian food I've ever eaten in 55 years of Indian dining.

we've been to india twice, and have rarely found anywhere in the u.k. , where the food is as authentic. this place is a gem. wonderful welcome from amar and mandy and their staff. my faves are the punjhabi chicken curry and the Lawrence road lamb, my wifes the tak a tak. best tarka dhal and naan bread by miles. if you live anywhere near Southampton and you love indian food, then book now !

This must be the best Indian food in town,from a pretty good selection.the secret is, despite great prices, they will not compromise on quality! They will only use a particular basmati, not a cheap one, for example. attention to detail is almost nerdy they make their own paneer from gallons of fresh milk.. it makes such a difference!for take aways it is often best to pick it up, to make sure it is fresher.Lovely!

I have visited that restaurant quite recently and I have to say I really love it. I love the food(wide range of choice), lovely atmosphere and staff as well. What is also worth to mention, this place is not overpriced. That lovely food is worth every penny :D you can sit down there, chill out, and if you want to catch up with friends I wouldn't find the better place then this is. Absolutely stunning. Waiters are very polite, treating you with respect, helping you choose your order and always make you smile. very nice atmosphere. Come along and try yourself :D

w Sobotę wieczorem po pracy wraz z chłopakiem wybraliśmy się do znanej na Shirley restauracji ,,Sanjha;; jedzenie było wyśmienite a obsługa mila i pomocna , także sami właściciele restauracji bardzo sympatyczni i gościnni (-pomocni w wyborze menu.) .uważam ze Sanjha to jedna z najlepszych restauracji w Southampton. Grazyna

I ordered my food around 8pm for collection, over the telephone on a Saturday which is understandingly an busy day, after being told my take away would take 25-30mins, i waited for 1HOUR15MINS! THEN WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE :S ... WHICH I DID NOT ASK FOR. After waiting OVER AN HOUR I asked to speak to the boss and was told he was away for catering, so believably I spoke to his wife. She is the most rudest person I have EVER came across! Who did NOT even apologize for the delay and stormed off in the middle of our convo. I have never came across such appalling service, will never be getting a takeaway from here again... and the COLD food certainly did not make up for it!

Whilst visiting Southampton from stoke on Trent i was looking for a nice Indian restaurant. Asked someone on the street who recommended this restaurant. Was not disappointed.. Good traditional food quite impressedOnly negative was that for party of 6 or more a service charge of 10% is automatically charged yet one person less then no charge.

Just got back from the restaurant and wow food was outstanding.I had a tak a tak meal, and my wife had butter chicken as she doesn't like spicy food.Amazing quality and really good value for money! I'm really looking forward to next visit

This was the worst curry I've ever had in my live. Chicken dansak was only sour not even sweet, mushroom rice was a plane rice with 1 mushroom and a Keema nan bread was horrible crumbly .. I couldn't even finish it, it was disgusting :(( it ruined my evening meal plus it was hugely overprice. I will definitely never order from this place in my life! :(

We only went to Sanjha because it was close as usually we go into town, but what a surprise! The food was excellent with lots of stuff not on the usual Indian menus and a very wide choice for veggies like us. The atmosphere was very pleasant, all the staff were very attentive without going overboard, we will definitely come here again with the whole family.

When this was just a takeaway me and the OH would sit and wish that they'd open a restaurant - and they did!Food is superb and consistent, and great selection of drinks at the restaurant too. You can also order beer and wine with your takeaway which is a great touch and it's not too expensive!Decor is really traditional as are all the cutlery/crockeryService is excellentIf you've not been or had takeaway from here please do, you'll not turn back!!

Visited here in January and it was ok. The lady showing us to our seat seemed to be the owner or his daughter or wife or something but she was so miserable and unfriendly it was uncomfortable. We asked if she could turn the air con down as it was when it had been snowing in January and we were freezing cold, but the lady seemed not be very happy to do so. Almost felt like we were inconveniencing her. The music was off for ages and there was no atmospshere we could hear everyones conversations around and that was awkward. Having said all of the above the food it absolutely outstanding!

Excellent Service. Above Average Food..Value for money..One of the better Indian restaurants..Traditional Indian chaat is surely a USP..

After being bought up on home cooked,flavoursome, fresh curry all my life I have never been fond of shop bought or restaurant curry. Always at best mediocre it's usually unexciting (I detest the British love of boring "safe" korma),and to sweet or salty and mainly over priced. I would always rather enjoy my dads curry or cook my own with his help and my broad stash of cookery books. That was however until I visited this gem of a curry house. Although it is more than that. It is a friendly, cultural hub of good food,with a good atmosphere to go with it. The restaurant which has been open for around a year due to the takeaway being so popular and expanding is clean, well furnished and has a happy and warming atmosphere to it. Little touches such as the musical instruments hung on the walls and traditional glasses and cutlery make this restaurant a interesting place to eat in and enjoy with friends and family alike.I try to go once a month as a pay day treat,and always enjoy a good meal. Usually opting for the onion bhaaji's for starter which are crisp to perfection and served with salad and a lovely dip. For main I order the brown onion rice,a naan or chapati and some sort of lamb dish. The lamb with three types of coriander is out of this world,and the lamb with dark rum is to die for too. Drinks are fairly vast to with bottled beers,cocktails,mocktails,spirits,wine and softies.The staff are friendly,well presented and knowledgeable. The manager is also usually present and has a openly approachable persona to him.Overall the whole experience of Sanjha is a happy and enjoyable one,which won't brake your bank balance either. And if your a student or member of the "Jackson Day Card" student scheme for Southampton you can get 10% with every order.Seriously take my advice and visit this dream of a restaurant. Other curry houses up and down Shirley high street don't even touch it.I for one have never been let down and Im sure you won't either...!?! :-) Emma

The food is authentic!(unlike a lot of UK restaurants which serve tweaked recipes). You can smell the fragnance in the food and has a good flavour. Service is prompt and very friendly staff. They even were ok to us customising our food to our likes. A chat with the owner Amar and you'd realize that he is a foodie himself and knows the delicacies from the length and breadth of india - thats passion!. Living in Southampton, me and my mates have tried most of the restaurants and easily rate this restaurant the best. Hands down! Must try!

Such a great restaurant and I don't know where to begin. I spent 3 months in the punjab 5 years ago and this is real authentic cuisine. Really happy to recommend as always friendly and accommodating to my family. The portions are large and very high quality.There's been a few occasions when things have taken time , but frankly worth the wait! (All cooked to order which is my preference) highly recommend

I have used this restaurant pretty much since it opened as just a takeaway and enjoyed my meals.Recently over the past 6-8 months i feel the service and food has been lacking and steadily going downhill.As a regular you would expect a smiling face and a chat but the customer service is all missing.Our last meal was awful to say the least and will no longer be spending my money here.My friend has recommended a different restaurant locally and will from now be using that.

This weekend we visited the restaurant with our friends .We found the seating area cramped and not comfortable our seat were continuously being brushed past by other diners and waiters.We found the service slow and the waiter not very helpful when trying to order our meals.It smelt wonderful as the kitchen is actually part of the restaurant unfortunately the food when served just wasn't upto the standard or quality we would expect for the money.All in all it was an uncomfortable and disapointing meal.

We were invited to attend a Christmas meal with friends and having never been to this restaurant before was a little apprehensive however we had nothing to be worried about I'm in a wheelchair and was made very welcome not everywhere does this.The staff here were an absolute delight to get to no throughout the evening always tentative and wanting your experience to be a good one the food well I have never tasted anything like it the meats melted in the mouth the rice was as light and fluffy as you can get everything we and others had that evening and trust me there was a far few of us all remarked on the quality of the food .Great food great atmosphere great staff fantastic company good portion sizes, and only last night hubby and I had a take out from the same restaurant and all I can say is it was exactly as the food was in the restaurant and to the same quality the best bit about the take away was that the time they said it would be with us it was all pipping hot and so so tasty will we be ordering again most certainly excellent keep up the great work..........

My first visit to this restaurant in Shirley, Southampton was a wonderful experience. A bright,modern yet authentic feel greets you on entering and the staff made us very welcome. Having booked a table in advance we were shown promptly to our table. The menu is extensive, and well explained to us. All our meals were superbly presented, cooked and were delicious. No fault could be found.This restaurant deserves great success, and we shall be returning time and again I am sure

Been to Sanjha a few times since they've opened up their restaurant and the food is as tasty when they were a take-away!To get this type of cuisine me and my friends used to travel to West London as North Indian cuisine is never served in any restaurants in Southampton only Bangladeshi food!!Food, atmosphere, attentive staff and just nice cosy surroundings make this place unique in Southampton - a refreshing change!Will be back very soon!

Lovely food at a good price and with friendly staff. Very welcoming and nice atmosphere. Nice place for a relaxed meal with family.

We live just down the road from the Sanjha so it has always been our favourite takeaway since moving to Southampton. We were delighted when they opened a restaurant as well. The food is wonderful, especially the vegetarian dishes! The couple of times we've eaten in the restaurant, we've had a lovely meal and a very friendly service but on both occasions one of our courses has been forgotten and we've had to remind the staff which course we're waiting for - just teething problems I'm sure. Highly recommended.

I have been to Sanjha's 3 times in the past 2 months since moving to Fareham. Yes, we (me and my wife) travel 20 miles for good food. Plus points: The Paneer Burji is to die for, the Baigan Bharta is tasty, Aloo Tiki is crispy. Good decoration. Good waiter attention on Saturdays and even at quiet times on weekdays. One main is ideal for 2 people to share. They do small portions if you want to try. The butter naan is fluffy and remains soft, dosen't go rubbery! Paneer Tikka from the clay oven is done very nicely, salted lassi is superb with roasted jeeru on top, Negative Points:Don't sit by the window in the winter!, they're not double glazed and no heating nearby, Chana masala is not to my liking, Pani Puri is bland with no mint sauce, Haka Noodles isn't that great, the onion bhajia's are average and oily, veg samosa's are basic,

Last minute out for a curry and hadn't booked so gave Sanjha a go. Drinks and Poppadoms arrived whilst looking through menu. As new to this one, took a bit longer to decide what to eat. Went straight for mains. Butter chicken - delicious, Chicken Kalimirch Wala ok but very mild in comparison to the Butter chicken, we had a couple of Vegetarian dishes (starter size) and the potato cakes with chick peas to accompany the meal for the three of us. Judging by 3 empty plates and lots of empty serving bowls the meal went down well!Cosy atmosphere, very polite waiting staff who all look very smart in their blue uniform. My son can't do too spicy found this just right! We will return as was an enjoyable family meal. Only criticism - found it a bit chilly in there, shame the door for the Take-away (which was very busy) is the only way in!

Me and my partner are regular customers at Sanjha's. The food and service is always very good. Sanjha's make a fantastic dhal and all the food is full of authentic flavours. Great value for money!

My husband and I had a lovely meal at Sanjha last week. Everything was very tasty, and the portions were huge, in fact one main to share between us would have been fine. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Our new favourite Indian restaurant in the area.

We ate here last week on the strength of the reviews below, and I was not disappointed. My wife is from southern India and she was impressed! I can recommend the chicken taka tak The paswari naan was the best me and my wife have tasted. Will be coming again very soon

Tonight we ordered our meal and were told 25 minute to 1 hour wait. 1 hour and 30 minutes later after 3 phone calls to the restaurant, one of our guests had left so we had to return one meal on delivery, and the 2 of us left picked through the small amount of naan that wasn't burnt but still smokey tasting, the meat from a very strange tasting lamb dhansak and finally the spiciest 'mild' buttered chicken I have ever had. Terrible service, awful food. We will not be ordering from sanjha again!

I was on visit to Southampton again and found this by chance as i was working nearby to Shirley.The decor and the setting here is very pleasant, soon as you come here you will notice the attention to detail that the owner has gone to, which is nice.The food was excellent, had a fantastic vegetarian choice, and cooked to perfection. The pricing and service was also great too.I recommend this place to anyone who is after a quality indian meal.

The best indian in southampton by far. welcome excellent food excellent service excellent price couldnt complain ay all. Dont believe me try it.

Without a doubt one of the best Indian food one can get in the city. Very nice taste and presentation...cool cutlery. Great ambience..good service.Large portions ... can be too much for people with low appetite!!!Be ready to be surprised when you get the bill... in a good way. Food is very low priced for the quality and quantity.Nice place for family and friends dinners.

This until a few months ago was a humble take away, but now has a restaurant attached to it.The decor and atmosphere is excellent and the food is exquisite. Every time we have had a take away or eaten here it has been constantly excellent. I rarely am able to say that about any establishment, so well done.If you want to give it a go they do a very reasonable £15 set meal for two (takeway)This of course is nothing like actually eating at the restaurant and having one of their signature dishes. Many of my indian colleagues swear by this place, and I can see & taste why!Service 9/10food 10/10value 9/10atmosphere 9/10

We have been getting takeaways from Sanjha for some time, but last weekend was the first time we have eaten in the recent restaurant extension. Service was excellent, and a mix up with my main was sorted out very speedily. Food was delicious, with a favourite being the potato stuffed chilli with tamarind and yogurt. We will definately be visiting again soon, and will be recommending it to our friends.

We got a takeaway from Sanjha and it was absolutely delicious! Cooked to perfection, very generous portions and reasonably priced, will definitely be going back!

Visited twice the first time the food was very good but the service was average. The 2nd time it was very chaotic and either thing but calm and was told the owner was away catering for a large Indian party. We sat down waited over 20 minutes and in then left without being served. We had takeaway from them anyway which was superb. For me the food is the best Indian/Punjabi in town, but it must be careful not to ruin its reputation by over stretching the staff and kitchen. We will return but not at the weekends.

One of the top 5 indian restaurants in southampton without a doubt. This is our first port of call for a tasty takeaway, the saag, daal and lamb dishes are outstanding.My punjabi girlfriend rates the food very highly and i absolutely agree, looking forward to visiting the newly opened restaurant in the next week or so.The quality of the food is outstanding and if you are a fan of indian cuisine this place is a must.

Superb Punjabi food and an amazingly decorated restaurant. Highly recommended!!

Just returned from Sanjha - yum,yum! When it was just a take away, I always wanted to eat here but I was put off because I didn't recognise many dishes. Anyway thought I'd give the restaurant a go. Brilliant! The service was impeccable, drinks great and the food, wow I feel like such a fool! Wish I'd eaten here a long time ago. Superb food, rich with flavour, decent sauces packed full of ingredients. Really pleased I ate here and shall be back! Shirley is up and coming, and places like this make the difference. I can't recall the names of the dishes I ate (new names) but I had king prawn.. and my mate had the one with rum. we had 1/2 and 1/2 both were really good, full of flavour, a little kick but not too much to ruin the enjoyment of the curries.
