Sundorbon in West Dorset

Fantastic meal with great service. Waitresses very knowledgable and helpful with regards to the menu. Will definitely visit again.

We had a wonderful time we went for mothers day the food as always was exelent we started with cocktails these were exetent we started with prawns absoutlaly exelent after that a wonderful hot sizeler and cheesy garlick narn unfortunatly this time we were so full we could not manage a sweet but next time we highley recomend this ressaraunt thanks to all the staff for awonderful eavening

From start to finish it was a great experience. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was amazing. As a vegetarian I’m used to little choice but the variety of both vegetable and paneer dishes are numerous. My family are meat eaters and tried the chef’s specials along with the standard butter dishes, all were loved and enjoyed.

The whole experience was amazing, from the ultra crispy popadums and pickles, to the Lamb Hatkora, (which I would have milder next time, as I found it was a little too hot). The onion bhajis and aloo gobis are the best I have ever had in any Indian or Bangladesh restaurant in the UK. The staff are very attentive and the whole meal was very good value. I would highly recommend a visit, you should book. The restaurant has won awards which are well deserved. I can't wait for my next visit, hopefully very soon.

Such a lovely atmosphere. Haven't been here in a couple months and soke of that staff have changed nut everyone is as friendly and welcoming as ever which is one of the things I truly love about this place!! Samantha the manageress was welcoming and very accommodating, fitting ne in at short notice despite how full the restaurant was with a large booking enjoying a peaceful meal to celebrate a birthday! I was served promptly and starter's were the usual high standard, (highly recommend the Tandoori Mixed Starter). I followed this with a Chicken Tikka Sizzler, (which lived up to its name)!. For dessert I tried Gulab Jamin which was definitely unusual, nice though. Service was, as usua in my experience, well above par. I'll be back in a couple months I'm sure!

We visited for the second time last night after eating there last month. The food and service is outstanding despite being extremely busy both times. We live in Dorchester and sadly don’t have a decent Indian restaurant (we’ve tried the only Indian restaurant many times in the hope it would improve but if anything it’s got worse). Anyway, we heard about this one and it’s the best Indian food I’ve had down South! Being from Stoke originally I’m used to decent Indian food and this place is even better than up North! First visit I had chicken tikka jalfrezi and my husband had railway lamb. Both dishes superb although my husband didn’t like the potato in his lamb. Second visit I had a chicken tikka dish off the specials with chilli, garlic and ginger and it was delicious - you could really taste the flavours. My husband had a lamb Balti and loved it. Both times we had the poppadoms which were fresh and crunchy with the dips. I asked for tamarind and was given it no charge. We also enjoyed the delicious onion bhajee both times, mushroom rice and garlic naan. All delicious. Last night we had a side dish of brinjal bhajee which I loved. It’s a very busy restaurant so make sure you book, it’s obvious why they win awards. Food portions are pretty generous too. We’ve been going to a nice Indian in Weymouth but this is worth the extra drive. I can see we will be regular visitors.

Fabulous food, attentive knowledgeable staff in a relaxed bistro atmosphere, reasonable prices, what more could you ask for. 10/10

16 ladies gathered for a relaxed evening together and a very good meal. That is exactly what we got. With so many different meal choices the well organised staff delivered great food efficiently and accurately and were attentive to our drinks needs along the way. Really excellent food. I would highly recommend the Sundorbon restaurant.

This is a lovely restaurant, I couldn't recommend this place enough, me and partner enjoyed a spectacular meal on new year's eve, the service by the staff was outstanding to our needs, much compliments to the lady in the sparkly dress and the lady with the short hair, their service was amazing, they checked back on our table at the correct and efficient times, and the food was extremely tasteful, the quantity was fillful, big compliments to the chefs, we will definitely be visiting again soon.

Booked a table on my own, and was sat in a quiet corner - which I asked for, and everything was perfect. Beautiful food, lovely ambience, and friendly knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be back

Best Indian takeout ive had jn a long while! Friendly staff, quick service, amazing food, great value for money, will be going back very soon.

Absolutely amazing establishment. Our favourite place to go when we eat out. They're very accommodating to allergies and also find us a brilliant spot to sit everytime we go that fit in my mobility equipment. The food is beyond delicious and completely indescribable how amazing it is. I don't think we have ever had a dish that we didn't enjoy and they will always be so well informed on the dishes I.e. what they contain and their spice level. I adore the staff and they have always be so kind and patient even when the restaurant is at capacity or very busy. I genuinely don't think there is words to describe the sundorbon, their restaurant is stunning aswell and it's definitely one to try if you're ever local.

My family and I have eaten at the Sundorbin Indian restaurant (and had take-aways) on many occasions. The food is always exceptional, and quite frankly the best I have ever had. They cook many original and unusual curries, such as Railway lamb, King prawn boona and sizzling chicken / mixed meat tandoori. Cannot recommend this place enough, although it would be essential to book in advance. The restaurant has also recently won a national award which is well deserved. I believe it is worthy of a Michelin star, which I believe it could soon achieve.

Went here the other day was delicious when eating inside. Tonight I decided to try the takeaway with the 10% collection discount and was really disappointed, waited 15 mins later than collection time as they were running behind, the curry was watery and not as much chicken as in person eating. I will definitely be coming to eat in the sundorbon (hence 3 stars) BUT NEVER doing takeaway unfortunately.

We have visited this place now twice in the last month and on both occasions the food has been terrific the dishes are delicious and well presented with polite staff who want you to enjoy your visit there,nothing is too much trouble for the helpful staff who will gladly explain what the dishes are like and also arrange containers for you to take the food away that you cant finish as the amount of food dished up is ample , will be visiting again to experience this top curry house o Bridport

We had a lovely meal, really nice food, very fresh Front of house very welcoming Waiter was exceptionally nice and very attentive. You must use the toilet, very opulent, love the tap

Really good take aways delivered. Five ordered , over two weeks. And the food is consistently good 👍 Great flavours Great balance Great contrast Very good 😊

Fab dinner out for my birthday. Very friendly staff & love the refurb 👍 The lovely Sam looked after us very well 🥂

Excellent food and amazing staff We had a table of 17 and all the food came out together and the service was fantastic Great atmosphere and a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with work colleagues. Everyone said it was the best Indian food they...

I've been eating Indian/Bangladeshi food for over 50 years and, in that time, have experienced good, bad and indifferent offerings. It is my preferred eating out experience. The Sundorbon is, in my opinion, the very best I have ever eaten - anywhere - and I...

What an excellent restaurant to dine in. The staff are very professional and take care of you as if you're part of the family. The meal I had was very tasty lots of flavor. Every care is taken to give you everything you want when...

Unexpected dinner with family we were served by 2 wonderful watresses elly and jemma the food wes exelent a nd lovely presented i now now why this restarantvwon the award it is justly deserved we will be back very soon

Very good Indian food, different from the normal dishes on offer at other curry houses . We had the Railway Lamb, which was very tasty. Service very good, the girls really did look after us . Recommended.

We eat here a lot and it is always a pleasant experience, the staff are always friendly and efficient. i tried the new menu item paneer bangalore (my new favourite) and my partner railway lamb, lovely flavours in both curries. i couldn’t recommend this place...

This must be the worst Indian restaurant I have ever visited. The food was inedible tasteless and visually unappetising. How it received the Best Indian restaurant in the South West is a complete mystery I think it must have been a typing error, and the...

Had a really nice meal here, had the bombay bicycle to drink, would have preferred kingfisher but it wasn't on that night. Must say really enjoyed it. Had sheesh kebab starter and it was one of the best I've had in a while. For my...

Lovely friendly staff and food was the best. We did book a table but it wasn’t ready when we arrived so was offered a drink at the bar on the house until table was ready. Order was taken very quickly and food didn’t take very...

We live miles away and first found this restaurant a few years ago. We had a takeaway this evening and it was the BEST Indian meal I’ve ever had, and we have had years of practice! Truly exceptional food.

Service is 2nd to none, food is outstanding and the knowledge of the food that the waitress summer had was exemplary

Great professional service, great atmosphere but most importantly fantastic food. A sophisticated well laid out restaurant and attentive staff. My wife and I were very impressed and just wish we lived closer so we could come more often.

We ordered from here and the whole process from downloading the app to receiving the food was easy. Menu is clear. Prices reasonable and app simple to use. Once ordered you could track the driver when he was on his way. Nice touch. The food was excellent. Nicely packaged - very tasty and still warm despite a little trip. Everything was labelled and the order was accurate. Perfect .

Fantastic service and food as always highly recommend and excellent service from all the staff the best place to eat in town

This place is on another level, from the greeting, customer service, dish recommendations, speed of service and food quality! Faultless. The dishes are unique here, all the curries taste incredibly fresh and full of flavour. The chutneys are incredible and different to typical curry houses....

We went to the Sundorbon last night (23rd September ). Our waitress is the newest member of their staff and may i say she was very polite and very confident in her new role. I started with Tiger Prawns they were delicious. My main was Railway Chicken,coconut rice and garlic and cheese nann it was very mouth watering. Great food and what a great atmosphere where all dinners were treated like a member of the Sundorbon Family... Wounderful night had by all. Will most definitely recommend the restaurant to all

This is an average restaurant which for some reason has been given good reviews If you are a lover of authentic Indian food with complex flavours and spicing then this is not the place for you

Well what a fantastic meal this restarant never disapoints with exeptional food and suroundings we were served by a very polite young ladywho was in training and as we were her first people i think she did exelant under the watchful eye of samantha the...

Can not believe the best curry in the UK can be found in Bridport. The quality of the meat, use of flavours and even the rice and nan breads were outstanding. It was packed at 6.30 pm on a Wednesday, so I think that speaks...

Solo early evening meal. Friendly & very professional service. Attractive space, not the clichéd norm. Food above average & fairly priced. Huge portion (biryani). Solo tables are right at the back close to the kitchen. You can hear everything the kitchen staff are saying...just sayin.

Nice looking restaurant and friendly staff although non Indian staff always make me suspicious! Food was average but huge portions. I would have preferred a bit more quality over quantity. Quite pricey too- even got charged for the chutneys!

by far one of the best indian restaurants i have been to in a very long time, service is perfect, food is fresh and different to typical curry houses, since dining in, i have ordered takeaways twice during my stay in bridport, wish this place...

So professional , swift efficient service , attentive staff. Food- just amazing- depth of flavour and quality ingredients- By far the best curry experience and flavours I’ve ever had. 4 of us dined in style and enjoyed every minute. You’ve got to try this awesome...

What a fantastic Indian restaurant The staff are really engaging and really know their products. The food is delicious and the whole experience is a delight. Lovely atmosphere and a great night out,

Saw an on line review for this place and decided to take a punt. It was really very good - fantastic curry dishes, curried scotch egg (to die for) biryani (best I've ever had) and chicken tikka tandoori was melt in the mouth! The service...

Stumbled on this restaurant by chance Has too be the best India food I have ever had Brilliant service excellent value for money

Fantastic food!! We didn’t book but the staff squeezed us in and it quickly filled up. My wife and I are avid curry fans and were delighted with this restaurant. I had the Punjabi Lamb Gosht - the lamb crumbled off the fork - not...

I dont usually write reviews but this restaurant certainly deserves one. Stayed just outside Bridport in a holiday cottage for a long weekend and decided to order a curry delivery Friday night, it was so good we ordered from them again Saturday night, highly recommend...

We'd just arrived in Bridport and were looking for something tasty to eat and we hit the jackpot! We found The Sundorbon on Trip Advisor and booked for dinner. The food was great with plenty of options to choose from.

As soon as you walk in you are greeted by friendly, smiling and wonderfully courteous staff. Once seated, their service doesn’t stop there, despite the restaurant being full, there was always someone close by to attend to your needs. With the same cheerful and polite...

This is the best Indian food I’ve had, starting with the service and how friendly the staff are, I felt very welcomed and had very good recommendations which I’m very happy about to have tried. Food was delicious, especially the South Indian garlic chilli chicken...

Excellent takeaway last night. We hadn't been sure which Indian in Bridport to pick, but so glad we picked The Sundorban. Surprisingly good.

Another visit here, was ok, nothing special which is a shame. Will we return? Not sure..bathrooms wasn’t clean which will now put me off

Lovely food, Lovely staff, Lovely evening, until they aloud a family in with a golden retriever, then aloud the dog to sit on the seat and be at the table, licking the table. We paid and left as we felt the managers decision, caused doubt...

i came in for a meal tonight, the best indian meal i have ever had! chicken shashlik is out of this world! we had amazing cocktails too. the venue is beautiful and the staff are brilliant! we will be back!

Brilliant meal! We visited for dinner with a set of friends. Very tasty meal cooked authentically. It’s been a while since we food this tasty. The staff are very courteous and professional and you cannot fault the service. Will definitely visit again.

I had tiger prawns for starters they were very tasty doen to perfection, for mains I had railway chicken( I can't remember it's proper name as that is what I call it and due to them being perfectionists they know exactly what I meant) lots...

I could not recommend this place higher, cocktails beautifully presented, service you simply can’t fault and I find it rare when I ask for something really spicy that it happens that Naga curry was amazing, thank you and you definitely earned the tip

This was a great restaurant, everything was done so very well, and the food was delicious. From the moment we walked in to find the place full on a Monday night, we knew we'd made a good choice. The front of house and service team...

We have just come back from what is the best biryani I’ve tasted for a very long time. The staff were super friendly and helpful and could not do enough for us. Every time we come to Bridport this is our first place to eat...

Brilliant Indian food with the very best staff and service around. Great menu and central location in Bridport. Plenty of parking nearby - car park opposite free after 6pm.

Really good tasty food and great service. Lady manager on the ball ensuring all in order. Reasonable price to boot.

Absolutely perfect, staff were all brilliant, food was amazing, couldn't fault it. Would certainly return to this restaurant no problem.

Came last minute with my husband, and it was a perfect choice. The service was lovely, and they seated us quickly even though they seemed busy. The front of house was lovely, and the food was delicious. We will be returning

good service and food, I can confirm flavours and spices were very authentic and delicious. One of the excellent restaurant in bridport.

We went to this restaurant expecting to enjoy good Indian cooking in what looked like a good atmosphere. What we got was some of the worst food we’ve ever eaten that furthermore bore no resemblance at all to true Indian cuisine, The mixed Tandoori plate...

Another faultless experience at the Sundorbon. This was my fourth visit to the restaurant and the experience rates among the best of any Indian restaurant I've visited in this country (and I've been to a lot). The staff are attentive and friendly, quick to spot...

Incredible, service welcoming and friendly- very helpful. food was amazing and was able to take away the left overs. 100% recommend!

wonderful atmosphere. the staff were very friendly and the food delicious, my favourite restaurant to go to here in bridport!

A famous restauranteur that I know, told me you can rescue a bad meal with good staff. But you can’t rescue bad staff with a good meal. No worries here. Great meal, great staff. Really. The food was some of the nicest I’ve had. Sam...

This place is a joke! We waited 30 minutes to be given a menu, asked for table water three times. Sat next to plates which were constantly taken to the kitchen! Gross! Why are the plates in the restaurant and not in the kitchen? Beyond...

If you're looking for a good curry try somewhere else. Waited an hour for our main course. Both our meals bland and tasteless. Service was slow and we will never return and it was not worth what we payed

A really enjoyable evening - the food was excellent as was the service . Sam really is a commendable manager - she has genuine “ people skills “ and was adept at dealing with our particular needs . Thank you!

If you enjoy the very best, freshly cooked dishes, with wonderful flavours, using imaginative combinations of ingredients, along with delightful waitresses, this restaurant could be the place for you.. I can honestly say I ate the best curry I have ever had, and I have...

First visit certainly not my last. Although extremely busy they managed to fit us in between bookings. The waiting staff were amazing and very friendly. Drinks were served very promptly as was the food once ordered. I had the Lamb Ghost which was so tender...

The staff were super friendly and answered any questions posed to them. The food was tasty and well presented. The cocktails were delicious and again well presented.

Excellent food of a good quality and fantastic service, highly recommend. Great restaurant for a good night out.

Very average food, a couple of the curries had frozen veggies in them. Nice interior, but the price is very expensive compared to other places around. There are much better Indian restaurants around with lower prices. However, the young staff working there are friendly and...

Best Indian we have ever had hands down, lovely restaurant and lovely staff, delicious food all served quickly and hot. The nann and onion bhaji were really yummy, staff were friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure thank you.

Delicious and great service. Lisha was amazing definitely be back. Absolutely great evening out. We’d definitely come back.

We're lucky to have two equally excellent Indian restaurants in Bridport, however Sundorbon delivers. Plus you have really got to try the Chili Rice. It's spicy, but if you like spicy you are in for a real treat. I could eat it on its own.

We had not had a curry out for years. We were in Bridport for the night and without research popped in the Sundorbon. Really good move. The front of house service was exception by all the team but I think Ellie( hope I got this...

Well what a surprise! Heard a lot about this place but its the first time that we tried it and what fabulous treat it was, the dishes were all freshly prepared and you can tell. The Punjabi Lamb Gosht was melt in the mouth delicious,...

2nd visit to this Restaurant. Just awesome. Even from making a booking they always sound positive and the service is just so good The food is the best for miles. We had Chicken Tikka Korma and Chicken Dhansak Was just the best. We drive 6...

Food was excellent only surpassed by the warm and friendly atmosphere. Front of house were full of smiles and very efficient they made the whole experience that bit more special and as it was my wife birthday greeted her with birthday day wishes as soon...

A lovely Indian restaurant with a wide range of dishes and an amazing atmosphere The staff were friendly and helpful, service was with a smile and a great deal of patience was shown at my many questions about how hot their food was! The manager...

I had an amazing biryani and dahl the flavours were just fabulous I couldn’t recommend it more highly! Thanks Samantha for organising the delivery to me in Lyme Regis.

We booked a table to celebrate our 17 th wedding anniversary, as we were in Dorset on holiday. I booked through Samantha, asking for a quiet table for two, and could she recommend a local taxi firm? Not only did we get a nice quiet...

A special evening ! Excellent food and service ! We aim to now be regular customers. Will certainly recommend to friends and family ! Thank you !

Being of Indian origin I have been to numerous restaurants. I had high hopes for this restaurant. I have to admit the portions that came out were ‘super’ large not seen this before. However my preference would have been much smaller portions. Food was average...

Excellent food and superbly attentive staff, our delicious food came quickly, couldn't recommend more highly!

Great food and great service. Friendly and attentive staff. Thank you to our waitress Gemma for keeping our glasses full

Food was delicious and the staff were lovely. I would recommend for anyone who has a love for Indian food. The house special biryani in particular was very good I would recommend this dish.

This is the best Asian Restaurant I have ever been! The curry I tried last time was Chicken Karahi. This and South Indian Garlic Chilli were absolutely amazing and I recommend them to everyone! This was and will always be my “go to” restaurant in...

After a friend's recommendation, we booked here rather last minute and I've got to say. It was all we expected and more. The service was brilliant, attentive and the food was beyond mine and my partners expectation. I had a tandoori starter and a railway...

If you require a table for 2 please do check the location of your table, we booked a table for 2 in person on Saturday afternoon. When we arrived we were taken to a table for 2 in what can only be described as a...

A happy lively atmosphere very pleasant attentive service. Really nice food at a bearable price. THIS SENTENCE IS TO GET TO 100 CHARACTERS am I nearly there yet?

Went for husbands birthday meal with our daughter. Was excited because the reviews looked good. I was very disappointed. The waitress was very nice but the service was slow and not very good. The menus brought to us dirty covered in sticky chutney, flat drink...

The food here was fantastic. Service was friendly. We don’t live locally but know that the next time that we’re in the area that we will come back.

The positives: Food was absolutely delicious. Really well spiced and flavoured. Finding whole bayleaves and cinnamon sticks in the dishes is such a good sign The service was excellent - attentive and friendly The restaurant had a great ambience - also (weird thing to say...

Excellent meal while visiting Bridport. Based it on reviews and wasn't disappointed. Kati roll starter was superb. Friendly service. Really enjoyed this place. Would definitely return if in the area again

Thank you Sundorbon for a wonderful supper last night. From first call to delivery we received a cheerful, friendly efficient service. Highly recommended both restaurant and takeaway and look forward to our next meal 😋
