Spice of Lahore in Bournemouth

Had a very good indian meal here, but don't forget you need to bring your own alcohol. Staff very friendly would definitely go back

Very nice food everyone enjoy biryani nice tasty and papadam nan chicken tikka masala sag aloo vegetable rice Lahorei special chicken

Relied on trip advisor for this one . After a minor mix up where the chef put salt instead of sugar in the masala the food was very good . I had the chef’s special which was very tasty and a good sized portion . Enjoyed all the food and the service was very good . Very welcoming place with very good food at fair prices . Will definitely use this place again . Also it’s a bring your own alcohol establishment Which I wasn’t aware of but I am now !

Lamb balti (madras hot) and lamb tikka garlic chilli to die for. Aromatic, flavoursome and so tasty. Huge portions and a great price. Highly recommended and great value for money. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to BYO!

Excellent food, great value. Service and ambience fall short of a 5. We enjoyed paneer tikka and chicken dhansak. Nan and salad turned up late.

Food was good and service nice and quick. BYO bottle but there is a small store opposite which is convenient to pick something up in. Good value and helpful staff.

The food was delicious. We all enjoyed our meal... BUT we were grossly overcharged. During the meal, we found a bone in the chicken. These things can happen and the manager explained he would take the cost of the dish off the bill. However when I asked for the bill I watched the manager looked at some scribbled notes and use a calculator to add up the total. The manager was unable to show me a breakdown and the total was significantly higher than I was expecting. Stupidly, I didn't challenge him and assumed it was ok. I asked for a proper receipt and the manager claimed he could not give me one. Very dubious, which kinda sums up this place. However as I left I realised I had grossly overpaid. Not only didnt he deduct the cost for the dish with the bones in it, but the bill was far higher than even if he didnt deduct anything. This is a shame as despite good food, not only wont we be going back but I will actively warn people to avoid these cowboys.

Came midweek and went for the offer of starter, main and side for £15. Food was quickly served from a very pleasant team and very good quality. Is handy for the Arena as opens at 5pm and left us plenty of time ahead of gig. Friendly place,very good all round experience

Ordered tandoori chicken and seek kebab, peschwari naan, be delivered, absolutely fantastic, cant fault the food, its always freshly cooked, tasty and juicy

My go to curry house every month when I am in Bournemouth. Decent price, healthy portions & friendly staff. It can get busy & is popular with students. Chilli paneer with a vindaloo sauce is awesome, mopped up with a garlic & chilli nan bread

Great takeaway for Christmas lunch Good vegan options for my daughter Will definitely use again in the future

The food and service is top class , always visit when I’m in bournemouth . Great flavours , nothing is too much trouble for the staff

First time in Bournemouth yesterday so so not knowing what to expect of the area we went on the hunt for an evening meal. After dodging all the trendy restaurants asking for £15 for a starter we came across the little gem that is Lahore restaurant. We had a great welcome at the door and the restaurant was full, easy to understand why. We were given a window seat, my favourite spot. This is a classic restaurant without the faff and frills. The seating was functional and comfortable, the staff hospitable and friendly and the food hit the spot. We chose the meal for 2 which included popadoms, chutneys, onion bhajis, chicken tikka starter, lamb bhuna, chicken tikka Massala, vegetable curry, naan bread and pilau rice. We topped it off with 4 cans of Coca-Cola. It was a pleasant surprise it came to just under £38. BARGAIN. Make sure you’re hungry when you arrive as we struggled to finish the fantastic feast and felt bad for leaving what we did. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Proper old skool curry house, try the lamb chops for starters , then we had ginger chicken and lamb combined and the portions are big and excellent value for money The staff are nice and friendly and you could tell this place has repeat customers

The food was lovely, don't be put off by the decor or the bring your own bottle policy ( off licence opposite) well worth a visit.

Was looking for a halal restaurant. First glance didnt look enticing with only one diner in then again it was Monday so went in . We were greeted by a friendly manager which was a nice warm welcoming feel . Unsure what to order he suggested the chef special chicken karahi also ordered a lamb pindi dish aswell and said to make it desi style in they did brought it out sizzling hot . We can honestly say it was amazing. Definitely 10/10 . The naans and mango lassi was superb . A must visit if you fancy a spicy dish to tingle your taste buds

Fantastic Birthday meal! Great personal service with traditional values. Food great quality and a really good atmosphere! Thank you!

First impressions are that it’s budget by nature, but this turned out to be a magnificent evening! We had booked a table for 10 (which was handy as this is clearly a very popular place with customers being constantly turned away due to it being full!) The service was attentive, friendly and grateful.. like in the old days. Perfect for a family event. The food was delicious (all of it) and the prices very reasonable. Also adding to the fun, they don’t have an alcohol license so you take your own booze which saves a fortune. Honestly we all had a great time. One word of caution. They don’t take credit or debit cards so I had to run over the road to take money out of a machine to pay the bill which was just £185 for 10 of us (inc a service charge) and we were all absolutely stuffed!

Das wichtigste zuerst. Meine Familie und ich haben nie besser indisch gegessen. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und es war einfach wunderbar

Normally I find some Indian restaurants without some dishes not tasting good. But this restaurant is opposite, all are delicious. Is just amaizing to see that. The only problem I found was that the Kulfi I was expecting to be served directly to the cup and not ready made bought from supermarket. Bur it was good taste. We were a gound of 3 families, a total of 14 peoples. Staff are polite and very attencious.

Ordered takeaway from their website...disappointed from the get-go really. No options for card payment but the delivery driver carried no change. The food was average, but so dry. Oil over the chicken tikka masala but no curry sauce, and dry wilted spinach and paneer for saag paneer but again no sauce. Nothing to dip naan in. Rice lacked flavour. It fed us, tasted ok, but nothing exciting.

Big portions, delicious & hot food. If you like it hot you can’t get better than a vindaloo sauce to slather on your shashlik, mopped up with a garlic Nan bread. There are a few good curry places in Bournemouth, one almost opposite but try here first, just as delicious but much better value, I come here every month now when I stay in Bournemouth 5*

A decent Indian restaurant of typical High Street standard. Four of us enjoyed the meal, although it was a tight squeeze in the restaurant on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Special mention of the tender lamb and the Tarka Daal with a deliciously earthy flavour. My Chicken Tikka Karahi was a little too hot for my liking but it's all down to individual preference. Their bring-your-own-booze policy helped to keep the bill down to a very reasonable £21 per head (May 2023) for a full blow-out. We made the mistake of buying Cobra beer from a nearby Nisa convenience store, a rip-off at nearly £2 for a measly 330ml bottle, double the price of a supermarket. Won't do that again!

We have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times in the past (you can bring your own drinks) and had take aways before which was always really good, but have not used it for a couple of years now. We are really pleased to say last nights take away delivery was even better than before, the tandoori chicken was tender and gorgeous, the whole lot was perfectly cooked, very impressed! The guy who took the order and the delivery driver were very polite, the food was absolutely great, we enjoyed it so much. Thank you!

Hmmm curry. Lots of curry. Good set meal 2. Bring your own booze. Would have been better with a baileys to end on. But that’s ok

We have had takeout from here 4 weeks in a row and it’s always nice but to night it was something else!!! Absolutely gorgeous !!! We have no idea what was different tonight but whatever it was don’t change it 👍👍 thanks again for a...

Don't go we ordered a takeaway and it was all flavourless was awfull food was expecting so much more for the price

We pre booked a table on a Saturday night only to arrive for our booking to find they’d given our table to someone else !!!!! We were left with no where else to go so had to get a takeaway, SO ANGRY ! We were...

I ate here last year on my visit to Bournemouth and decided to go again. The service and the food all seemed rather better than I remember from my visit last year. The portions were a good size and the dishes all seemed very correct...

We eat here often and every time the food is superb. They are more than happy to advise and suggest options and willingly accommodate to all palettes! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting genuine, authentic food with great service and very reasonable pricing

Food was lovely and service was good. We arrived quite late in the evening but we were not rushed. Also thought it was good value for money. I’d go again.

I am a lover of Indian cuisine and when I travel I always look for an Indian restaurant. In this restaurant I tasted dishes from which oozed the true "flavor" of India. The restaurant is small and it is best to book. The service is...

Had a delivery based on this high rating and cannot believe how poor the food was. Thr Biryani was dry and didn't have one grain of spice. The samosa was like the one you get in the cheap ASDA 50 box.

Visited this restaurant whilst travelling with colleagues/friends. Saw an offer in the window £12.95 for 1 starter, 1 main, 1 side, 1 popadom and pickle tray. Bring your own alcohol as no bar (no corkage charged). Seemed too good to be true - we went...

Had a really enjoyable meal at the Lahore. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent, we had starters and mains and all were good, prices were decent as well so no complaints

We had a delivery the last ( and it will be the last EVER ! ). We have had about a dozen deliveries and about 70% of the time we have not been sent what we had ordered. The food itself is fine BUT no...

We had a search on trip advisor for an Indian /Pakistani restaurant and were not disappointed with our choice. The staff were friendly and checked how the meal was as we were eating. The flavors were spot on and very filling. The naan bread really...

Thetford is fresh and tasty. Waking, the manager, went out of his way to make our visit remarkable. We highly recommend Lahore .

Great food if your looking for a curry in this area give this a try. I don’t rate 5 for curry’s unless they are very good. Friendly helpful staff but bring your own bottle if you want wine/ drink with your meal.

Cash only, bring your own beer. Had poppadoms, day old onions, watered down sauces, paid £5 and left. You’ve been warned

Old school type Indian restaurant that serves fantastic food with great service I would recommend any curry lovers 100% But make sure u remember your own alcohol

Decent curry choices and banquet deal, good flavour just disappointing each selection seemed not to be part of the deal and extra costs were incurred. Overall still had a good meal.

Recommended to us by the hotel during a recent weekend stay in Bournemouth. The food was varied and fantastic. The staff were really friendly. When I went to order my chicken tikka Karahi I was recommended to have it balti style which was fantastic. Prices...

Typical bring your own drinks Balti house. Ordered my favourite meal Danzak but it was more like Madras, my partner had King prawn Bhuna and the prawns were soft and jellified so we're left. The naan bread and the onion bhaji's were OK. Strangely the...

Fantastic food,prices where value for money. Ali the owner was very chatty and complementary and easy to chat to. Complements to the chef as well. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Bring your own drinks supermarket across road.

Vegetarian dinner order was full of green chillies. Garlic naan and aloo chat Puri was delicious. Raita was poor. Staff service was poor and miscommunicated. Hence billed for incorrect order.

Absolutely fabulous. The welcome & service from the moment we arrived were first class. Hadn’t realised it was unlicensed so hadn’t arrived prepared with drinks, but we were quickly pointed to the shop across the road to get some supplies. Food was outstanding & very...

went with my daughter last night, outside does not look impressive but wow the food and service was first class. no alcohol is sold but u bring it with you or very reasonable shop over the road glasses are provided. will definitely be back

Booked a table for Christmas dinner with friends. Service was amazing from the minute you walk in the to minute you leave. Food was delicious, came out quick and was all very cheap! Hidden gem!

Booked for Christmas Lunch . Use this restaurant fairly Regularly as being part of South Asian diaspora in Bournemouth. A brilliant value 3 courses of £25 but with the flexibility of ordering across the menu , with the added novelty of bringing your own alcohol...

Delicious food. Really enjoyed all the vegan and vegetarian dishes ordered. The service was fantastic, really friendly and prompt service. Highly recommended.

So welcoming as soon as we got into the restaurant. Offered drink options and popadoms. This is a BYO restaurant and a shop is opposite. Popadum chutneys we’re great and good quantity. Onion salad too. Tons on the menu I would like to try. We...

Amazing food. Fast delivery and very competitive price. An all round great experience. Brilliant service, food, quality and price. I hope you do well as you deserve to based on our experience, thank you

We ordered starters and 1 main course onion bhajis were dense and cold in the middle curry tasted like raw tomatoes and the meat was hard! Rice was average and the bread was doughy. Terrible food avoid at all cost

Food was outstanding. Service was quick but not pressure, host was delightful. We had our 'usual' as in the same we have in every Indian restaurant and it was better than our normal haunt at home. The lamb biryani was tasty, the meat fell apart and the veg curry was well seasoned. Hubby had the chicken tikka masala, not overly sweet as it can be in some places but absolutely delicious. Well priced, well cooked and well served. Absolutely would return if we are ever in Bournemouth again

Food is ok ,good quantity .We had to wait little long for the food, grill was ok but the rice and bread wasn't that good .

If you want Alcohol take your own and you need to pay in cash, From the outside you may be hesitant, but once inside it's the most friendy atmosphere you could wish for. No gushing but a genuine welcome from the staff, service with a smile as they say. My wife had Vegetable Biriani with Palak Paneer and was pleasantly surprised at how much was on each dish, her verdict after being fantastic! I had Chicken Pathia with Pilau Rice,and my verdict after was, when shall we come again ! We took our own bottle of wine and were given 2 glasses to use from the ever smiling boss.It was a busy evening but we didn't have to wait long. Will definitely return the next time we are in Bournemouth. Brilliant experience thank you

After reading all the great reviews from Tripadvisor we visit there last night. Inside decor looks like Indian restaurant in 70s and not clean at all. I am originally from Lahore, Pakistan and I can tell this is not a Pakistani restaurant. I ordered mixed grilled which is comes with tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb tikka and Sheek kebab but when they serve my food there is no Sheek kebab. At the end I wanted to pay and they said cash only. I couldn’t believe in this day and age they don’t take card which is obviously for tax fraud. I had to go outside and pay £1.50 to cashpoint, that was really annoying. Will not going back again

After almost giving up hope of finding good food in Bournemouth I tried this place out. There are a number of places to choose from on the street and it was a toss up between this place and another. Despite the uninviting exterior i went for this one. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Finally somewhere in Bournemouth that gets it right! Food was excellent and the restaurant filled up pretty quickly. No complaints regarding food, atmosphere and service. My only suggestion is to put a sign outside that says cash only. There is only one very small sign, about half an A4 piece of paper advising of this behind the till which funnily enough I didnt notice. Could make things awkward for people, especially these days where most places in Bournemouth seemed to request card, even for small payments. Upon going to pay the bill i then had to go out to a cash machine which felt a bit awkward but the staff seemed used to it. Nevertheless, it is still an excellent place to eat.

I came here for lunch and was impressed with the food and service. I started with a king prawn butterfly followed by Lamb Dhansak, and could see why this place has survived, Many Indian restaurants have failed in Bournemouth, due to the strong competition (and that was before the pandemic).This restaurant is not licensed but there's an impressive list of soft drinks.

Wow, the food was fabulous and the service was great. Highly recommend if your in Bournemouth and fancy an Indian . Definately return soon.

Don’t let the exterior of this place put you off. The staff are friendly, the service quick and the food tasty. The naan was a little disappointing as was crispy underneath but other than that the food was spot on.

I went to spice of Lahore based on all the good reviews, but unfortunately I was not satisfied with the food. We had a sizzler which was quite nice could have done with a bit of spice as it had no spice what so ever but this is more my preference I’m sure it would be perfect for someone who prefers mild foodI absolutely love a lamb curry and so that was my pick, I had one recommended by the staff. This dish was so disappointing, the sauce tasted like just tomatoes which suggests it wasn’t cooked enough, the lamb was tough and chewy, so either it was under or over cooked. This dish was a huge disappointment for me especially since I cook a mean lamb curry I’d just like to add that my partner enjoyed the lamb curry, he said it wasn’t the best he’s had but wasn’t bad either The best part about this place was that our waiter was very friendly and you could bring your own booze tooFrom all the reviews I can see how positive they are I only assume my experience was a one off. Don’t let my review put you off, although I wouldn’t go back you should go and decide for yourselfALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CASH - no card payments accepted which I’m not surprised about considering how much businesses are charged for this facility

Good Indian restaurant with knowledgeable staff. Food was excellent hot and tasty . We had the evening meal deal. They don’t sell alcohol so we bought our own wine

Outside does not prepare you for the warm welcome of this restaurant. Service and atmosphere of this place amazing. You can bring your own alcohol which cuts the price of your meal. We could not believe our bill and it is not often when you leave much more than ask for. But we did, food incredible. Would definitely go back if in Bournemouth, but make sure you book

Some of the nicest tasting Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Good selection on the menu, generous portions and reasonably priced. Very tasty and great, friendly service. Definitely worth a visit

Hand on my heart, I had the best chicken tikka biryani ever at Lahore, it was super tasty and the rice perfectly light and fluffy. We visited on a very busy Saturday evening but the staff were very friendly and quick and we didn't have to wait long. The restaurant is not serving alcoholic drinks, if you fancy a beer or wine with the food you are welcome to bring your own and they will serve it in the right glasses. There is a store selling all sort of drinks opposite the restaurant. I strongly recommend this place and will most definitely be back next time I'm in Bournemouth.

Great food and friendly service. Lamb chops starter a real treat! Strongly recommend for Pakistani or Indian food in Bournemouth

Normally we eat in and it’s good Today we got it delivered and it was as bad as Indian can get… Raw cauliflower in aloo gobi and just poorly prepared-everything won’t be having it again..

I was speaking with a friend in N India, who was eating paratha and pickle… It put me in the mood for one but I’ve never been pleased with any I’ve been served here, in Bournemouth. Yesterday, I thought that I’d try Lahore for the first time. The food arrived on time and arrived piping hot. I ate bindi and karella subji with paratha and it was authentic and delicious! The best I’ve eaten outside India. I’d ordered two paratha but could only manage one so I reheated the stuffed paratha for lunch and ate it with home made piccalilli… Delicious! I will certainly reorder from Lahore.

Whilst on a short family break to Bournemouth we decided to go for a curry and this place sounded good from the other reviews on here.As we entered it was really busy and I wasn’t sure they were ready for our lively 5 year old twins. The service was fantastic and the food was genuinely the best curries we have ever had. (And we have tried lots)Try the Lahore Special and bring your own drinks. You will not be disappointed.

1st time at ordering a takeaway from this place amazing great food turned up hot best curry I've had for a long time will definitely order again 👍

Cant wait to be able to eat in again but in the meantime our takeaway was lovely as always, quick delivery (I always order direct from the restaurant). Highly recommend, we wouldn't order Indian anywhere else. Good value for money and you can bring your own drinks when you eat in.

Another amazing takeaway! Fantastic value for money and great food. You’ll not be hungry! Delivery was prompt and extras were included for free. High recommended

Great food - thought we would give it a try and have had 2 excellent takeaway meals now - everything tastes fresh - decent chicken tikka, lovely Dhansak & Garlic Chilli Chicken - thanks Ali and the team here! Great curry you must give Lahore a try!

Definitely the best restaurant in Bournemouth. We love it! We brought our friends and now they love it too. Highly recommended! Always the best dishes. Staff is very helpful and nice. Whole place is amazing.

Available for takeaway during lockdown. Ordered directly with the restaurant rather than delivery firms. Delicious food. Excellent value for money. You will not be disappointed. Order arrived hot and quickly. Very polite and friendly delivery driver. This is why we are regulars!

Ordered through UberEats, food arrived promptly within the alloted time frame, the delivery lady was lovely,both vegetarian and meat dishes were very fresh and tasty. With the 50% January discount the meal was very cheap but we were still given a free poppadum and yogurt sauce. Would definitely order again and visit after lockdown.

Just as good online as in the restaurant, albeit without the essential atmosphere of the restaurant!

We came here with friends on a Saturday night from Portsmouth and have to say the food and service were outstanding couldn't do enough for us and we had a laugh with one of the waiters Made for a fantastic end to a great day Well done to all the staff in these very difficult times

Noticed the deal of £12 for starter, main, side and rice or naan. From the outside is not the most attractive restaurant but food looked delicious and thumbs up from customers inside lured us in. Lamb tikka, pathia, pasanda, aubergine side, garlic naan all highlights. Staff all very attentive - friendly and offered bottle openers and glasses for bottle bought from off licence opposite. A perfect Indian night x

Acabábamos de llegar para pasar un fin de semana y estábamos buscando una cena de abeto. Estamos muy contentos de haber elegido este indio. Fue consciente de COVID. El personal fue muy agradable y te dio todo el tiempo que necesitabas entre cursos. La comida era deliciosa. Nos quedamos impactados cuando nos dimos cuenta de que no vendían alcohol, pero no hubo problema ya que había una tienda al otro lado de la calle. Luego nos dieron vasos. Perfecto.

Food and service was excellent we would recommend you try if you are going to Bournemouth doesn't sell alcohol but can bring your own and they will provide glasses.

Visito amigos en Bournemouth dos o tres veces al año y este se ha convertido en un viaje obligatorio cada vez durante los últimos años. Siempre un cordial saludo y un servicio rápido. Los poppadoms son excelentes con algunos excelentes encurtidos (menciones especiales para el encurtido de lima y la salsa de tamarindo y el chutney). Después de unas samosas de carne que estaban buenas, esta vez me comí un pollo tikka do - piaza que estaba lleno de sabor (un plato que puede resultar insípido en otros restaurantes). Pan naan de arroz y champiñones completaron los platos principales. De alguna manera nos las arreglamos para terminar todo lo que pedimos esta vez, simplemente manejando el After Eight ofrecido con la factura. Otra excelente comida aquí, nunca me ha decepcionado.

Went here on a Monday and it was busy! Great food, super friendly staff and got an authentic curry! I dont do many reviews but felt this deserved one - definitely recommend

visité aquí anoche, estaba extremadamente impresionado con todo lo relacionado, el personal es un crédito total para ellos, especialmente la chica que me ayudó a servir mi vino (tengo Essential Tremor que me da un sinfín de dificultades, suficiente de eso ) Comí un plato de pollo, terminé trayendo algo a casa ya que estaba relleno y un pan de ajo. También me obsequié con un lassi de mango, blimey que me devolvió, servido por última vez en la India en un vaso de pinta, estaba exuberante. No queda espacio para después a pesar de que sirven gulab jamuun (¿sp?) La próxima vez, déjelo. No puedo esperar a volver cuanto antes mejor, gracias a todos

Después de un largo día en la playa con niños cansados, lo último que quería era comer en el auto, ya que la mayoría de los lugares solo abren para llevar. BOURNEMOUTH OF LAHORE estaba abierto para cenar, así que mi familia y un amigo con su familia fueron a cenar.¡La comida era tan sosa! Pedí un arroz frito con pollo que era solo arroz mezclado con huevos, hojas de cilantro y pollo frito, mi amigo pidió un biriyani de cordero picante, también fue decepcionante porque solo pudimos probar el chile en polvo y nada más. También pedimos dhal que no tenía sabor. Muy decepcionado con la comida. Puede que sea el momento de que el chef aprenda a cocinar o que cambien de chef.

Lo pasé genial con mi compañero. La esposa estaba de viaje de negocios, así que se llevó a mi vecino de al lado, cuyo esposo trabajaba tarde.Buena comida y el ambiente era muy agradable y relajado. La sacaré de nuevo y probablemente vendrá aquí de nuevo si los turnos lo permiten.Bien merece una visita.

Great food and service. I had the Lahore special with keema fried rice and peshwari nan, everything was perfect. It’s bring your own alcohol too.

Mi pareja y yo visitamos Bournemouth a menudo y generalmente visitamos ciertos restaurantes de cadena. Esta vez pensamos que probaríamos algo diferente. La comida era deliciosa, porciones masivas y un personal muy amable. No venden alcohol, pero puedes traer el tuyo y están muy contentos de ofrecerte copas de vino, hielo e incluso poner tu alcohol en la nevera para mantenerte fresco. Sin duda lo recomendaría y sin duda volveremos en nuestra próxima visita a Bournemouth.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious! Very reasonable prices, fast service and bring your own alcohol. Definitely recommend!

What a gem this is! Being a BYO is not a problem as there are plenty of local off licences to supply your beer or wine. The set meal for one at £12.95 was amazing - high quality and generous portions - and the service was impeccable . My first visit to The Spice of Lahore whilst in Bournemouth on business but it definitely won't be my last! Well done to Ali and his Team

I just dropped in for lunch on my way to the train station. I've lived in the Bournemouth area off and on for years but never been in. It's great!

What a wonderful find this was and a pleasant surprise as did not look much from the outside. Food fabulous and flavoursome. Very attentive staff and will revisit when in Bournemouth again.

Great Restaurant. Very friendly staff and Owner. Very reasonably priced and excellent food. No bar but off licence right opposite and restaurant will supply Glasses, Ice etc;

Lovely restaurant, food and service was amazing. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Bring your own alcohol, can buy actress the road at off licence.

Not having booked we were lucky to get a table at this popular restaurant.The staff were all friendly and polite, and explained we could buy wine from the off license opposite, or be served water and soft drinks.We ordered a lamb dansak and prawn pathia with mushroom rice and a Peshawar naan and it was all delicious.Everything about our meal was good.

Preciosa casa de curry tradicional.El camarero fue muy educado y hablador. Gran servicio.Disfruté mi comida. El arroz era ligero y esponjoso y el naan era encantador, fresco y ligero también.El vindaloo fue muy agradable. Sin embargo, las papas Bombay eran muy fuertes en una especia particular.Tenga en cuenta que no sirven alcohol, pero puede tomar el suyo.

Great food with a good variety of dishes.We ordered a variety and when it came it was well cooked and hot. The service was excellent the staff were very friendly and efficient.

9-Nov Bournemouth Lahore. Visited for dinner on a Saturday night. Despite having never been to the restaurant before I received an incredibly warm welcome and was even re-seated to a larger table by the window before my friend arrived. We brought our own wine and glasses were promptly provided (no chiller, though, so you might want to bring one of those ice sleeves if you want to keep your wine cold). The food was very good indeed: Poppadoms with all the accompaniments, samosas, bhaji, Lahore special, rice, vegetables, all very good indeed, and excellent value. The lovely waiting staff really cared that everything was OK and treated all their customers so beautifully, a real pleasure to see. This isn't the best location in Bournemouth as this part of town is somewhat down at heel (there was even a minor scuffle outside during our meal) but the restaurant itself has fab food & service.
