Tap & Tandoor in Southampton

Great mixed grill as ever. Good value as well. Excellent service from Sumin

Excellent food and great service! Love this place!

Saw it passing by so came in for a late lunch. Very friendly staff and probably the best chicken tikka I’ve eaten. Generous helping.

Found this place while shopping in West Quay. Great Food and service

We visited for the first time and absolutely loved it! The food was incredible. The staff were lovely and welcoming and the atmosphere was perfect. Can't believe to return fir another meal

Amazing ambience lovely food and great service provided by Shru. We tried Christmas menu and the food was mind blowing.

Visited for food on a busy last Thursday before Christmas and it was excellent. Really tasty food and good drinks. Loved it!

I met Hassan, I felt really welcomed i am really happy or please come here I tried the samosa chat, I felt like I was eating samosa in my own country India, I got samosa like India after pure 2 years i would suggest you come here

Lovely find in Central Southampton with fantastic food and service. Lovely cocktails

Great place for a quick Indian dish. The food was great but I thought the portion size could be a bit bigger. Our waitress Sem was friendly and helpful with all of our questions. Will surely be going back for a repeat visit.

It was our first visit & we were very impressed with the service & food Highly recommend & we will return soon.

Absolutely love this place. The staff are amazing. Always a great beer selection and the wine is really nice too. We had the Christmas menu and it was all so nice. Definitely one of our favourite places to go.

The food was so nice, I especially enjoyed the butter chicken curry, and the fried fish taste different from the traditional English fried fish, it has some Indian spices in it which made it more delicious.

Good place and ambience. Food is decent

Friendly welcoming staff. Good service. Tasty food at reasonable prices!

We had a brilliant meal with excellent beer, served by the lovely Nyasha

Thank you. Gorgeous food and great service

Our favourite place to eat. Unfortunately we live near Bournemouth so it's a little journey to come everyone, but it's 100% worth it. The food is always 10/10 and actual Indian food - not the rubbish most Indian takeaways produce (my Indian partner lovessss it here). The staff are always friendly and on point with service. The only thing I have to ask..... please please please open one in Bournemouth so I can come more 🙏

Great food reasonable prices for the food and drink highly recommend

Cider was really great, highly recommend the Butter Chicken

We had a mixed grill for two, pilau rice, garlic naan, curry sauce as recommended. Throughly enjoyed it. Value for money. Will definitely be back when next in Southampton.

Absolutely fantastic amazing service and food well done guys 👏

Great evening out. Monday night is quiz night with Laurancequizmaster. Food is spot on. Quick service, great atmosphere all the staff are friendly and quiz is fun too

Popped in after going to the cinema and had a lovely meal, the service was quick and food was delightful.

Excellent location with great service. Must try the okra fries.

We had lunch, on a Wednesday. They just opened for lunch and was welcomed in. The service was amazing very friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious the best naan breads, so light. Not like the ones I'm use too. The samosa chaat so good. I would go back again when I'm visiting Southampton see and take Auntie out for lunch.

We had a great experience; the food was amazing, nice atmosphere and we took part in the quiz which was great fun!

We go every Monday for the Quiz with Laurence. Excellent food, a friendly welcome and a great Quiz.

Visited for food on Monday (based on a friend’s recommendation) and will certainly be coming back, the food was great as were the drinks - we didn’t know that Monday is the weekly quiz night, but we got involved and the quiz was amazing (we did well on TV Catchphrases, not so well on art and books) - had already decided to come back but will start to make it a regular Monday Curry & Quiz night - A+

Went today for lunch in Southampton. Food was EXCELLENTit was a Monday lunch so quite quiet. We had a mixed grill for 2 people with mild curry sauce and hot curry sauce and nan bread. Meats were delicious and plenty to eat. Sauces were to die for we finished them with a spoon like a soup 😋. We would definitely return if back in Southampton . 10/10 forgot to take photograph before but here’s a photo of leftovers 🤣

Superb and authentic Indian cuisine. Excellent, handcrafted English ales.

Great service. Always on hand but gave us time and space.

Excellent service, food is the best

Very good food and top notch service. Will definitely come back. Had the butter chicken, bhajis and garlic Naan after work, can't recommend enough.

Came in just for a drink, they've got excellent selection of IPA, lagers and canned beers. Next time will try their food, it smelled amazing and looked tasty.

Great spot! The manager really knows his stuff. I had the mixed grill, and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. Chill vibe, great drinks, and tasty food. Definitely coming back!

Went to a traditional curry house the day before and enjoyed this one much more. Fantastic food… 👍🏼

Lovley food! Came down from London to visit family, enjoyed a nice meal at Tap and Tandoor. All was great, untill I was accompanied by a young man who came to enquire how the food was. After mentioning that the food was pleasant. He insisted on giving him a tip. I tipped him £5 and he said it wasn’t enough. Then tried to persuade me, by mentioning I would get a free drink, if I did. Quite a strange young man. Quite slim, small gentleman. I may visit again, hopefully will be seen to by another member of staff on my next visit. Good place overall.

Now as a rule i only leave a review in the event of something exceptional and therefore i feel compelled to write this. Firstly the food we both ordered was really really good witht he exception of the onion bhajis which had been cooked well past their best and were non too good however my chicken tandoor and wifes king prawns and the other items were really good and plentiful. However there was an amazing waitress by the name of Olivia who was just outstandingly good at her job and worthy of great praise. Excellent customer service and for a young girl just impeccable manners and friendliness. I will repeat myself on the 'impeccable manners' . An outstanding staff member and the owners at Tap and Tandoor should be greatly aware you have a massive assett on your payroll. I would therefore insist @Tap that you fully praise Olivia for her dedication and would suggest you are underpaying her given how she represents your business. Try and sort out the Bhaji's girl for next time for next time. Thank You Olivia. You are a credit to your parents.

Excellent service and good rare beer. Crowded because of the quality but welcoming

Great food - very filling. Staff are great.

8 of us went for a work celebration food was great as always, very tasty hot and came out quickly. Good selection of beer and thanks to our waitress Olivia she was polite and helpful. Thanks Luke

Olivia out server was fantastic food lovely and the chose of beers was great.

Great service from Olivia! This is our 4th time at Tap & Tandoor and we’ll definitely be back again - great food, atmosphere and service and Olivia was so attentive and friendly.

Personal muy atento, especialmente la señora que cuidó de nuestra mesa. La comida era muy buena Recomiendo encarecidamente el pollo tandoori tikka y los panes nann fueron los mejores que he tenido hasta ahora.

We had a meal for my husband’s 50th birthday so there was a big group of us and the staff were amazing, so attentive, always checking if we needed more drinks. Food was so delicious, this is definitely the tastiest place to eat in Southampton. My favourite restaurant without a doubt.

Sumin was fabulous, so friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious, great night! Will definitely be back.

Sat in the Tap & tandoor in West quay, staff so friendly, food AMAZING! and great value too.... you'd be a fool to walk past..

Absolutely faultless. Everything was absolutely perfectly cooked and the meat was so tender. The lamb curry and Chicken Tikka were firm favourites 🔥💖 Thank you so much for a lovely evening, can't wait to return!

Delicious and steaming hot foods as always, Staff very attentive, polite and very efficient as usual .

I've been here a few times now, and the food and service have always been great. The food has always come out quickly, and it has been hot and tasty. The Tandoori mixed grill is really good. They also have a good selection of craft beers to choose from.

Very much impressed with quality, authentic Indian food and service you guys provide. Thankyou for lovely dinner.

Realmente impresionado. Curry era encantador y masivo respeto por servir algunas cervezas buenas de las cervecerías locales en lugar de la basura comercial habitual. Bonito ambiente húmedo en una noche de miércoles. Servicio un poco amateur pero en general excelente relación calidad-precio. Gracias!

Whenever we are in Portsmouth or Southampton we go to Tap and Tandor. The food is excellent and good value.

Very nice food, atmosphere and service by everyone!

Great place for beer and snacks. The beer battered bhajis are a must try.

Great place for beer and snacks.

Excellent tandoor dishes, the Hariyali chicken and Seekh kebab have become firm favourites. Great range of craft beers and ciders too.

5th visit to Tap & Tandoor. Food is always amazing and good beers. We’ll be back again real soon.

It was pretty banging. There were a couple of Karen’s behind us that were annoying af but the staff were really good for us

Gran comida y cervezas. Servicio atento encantador también. Fue nuestra segunda visita y sin duda volveremos pronto.

Tap & Tandoor’s samosa chaat is fantastic! Crisp samosas with flavorful potato filling, topped with tangy chutneys, yogurt, and crunchy sev. The flavors are perfectly balanced — spicy, tangy, and sweet. A must-try for chaat lovers!

Fabulous food, great service and nice atmosphere. Would go again.

Great place and great food. Been here many times always the same quality. Well done guys.

Great, tasty food and friendly service (especially from Jain)

Best Indian food we have had, staff were amazing, can’t wait to go back

Amazing food and beer at this lovely restaurant. Friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the food. Lovely layout. Made welcome without a reservation. Excellent beer. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Gran ambiente. Aaron era un anfitrión brillante, rápido, servicial y una gran charla. La comida era perfecta para compartir, y la selección de bebidas era increíble.

This was the first time at Tap & Tandoor, and we weren’t disappointed. It was quiet but a good atmosphere and very clean. Great choice of drinks and the food was amazing. Hassan and Diksha were amazing hosts too - friendly and attentive but not intrusive.

Popped in at midday for a light lunch. We shared the mixed grill and bhajis. All the food was excellent and perfect for sharing, washed down with a nice Unity pale ale. Service was good and rapid!

Great lunch with the wife. Efficient friendly service and beautiful food. Couldn’t ask for more

Would recommend tap&tandoor to anyone ! All the staff were so attentive and friendly, and made sure we had a great experience. The food was absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend paying the £4 on top of the mixed grill for the prawns - they were the best thing on the plate! Will definitely be visiting with friends and family again.

Lovely food and great atmosphere

Food was excellent and staff friendly

Had a wonderful time at Tap & Tandoor, food was excellent and the atmosphere was great, and our server, Jasmine, was wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Love the Staff ! Food is great! :)

Very good restaurant, tasty food, good service.

very special place Great atmosphere and The Waiter Here Jess and Aslam Was Great♥️ Hat Off to them. sure We will come Again 🔥🤝

A lovely lunch - good plentiful food great service and good ambiance

Both service and food were exceptional. Great value for the money.

Popped in without a reservation with limited time before a show we were attending. We were immediately given a table and were so well looked after it was incredible. No rushing and the food was delicious. Huge thanks to Diksha, Olivia and the kitchen team who made an impromptu visit by us a perfect reason to return again.

very tasty food with great customer service. Special thanks to bar staff.

Excellent food and service! Can't find better restaurant than tap and tandoor at Southampton. Will be back again

Beautiful food and lovely staff

Had the pleasure of discovering the tap and Tandoor on a Sunday afternoon. It's has a unique layout of a social bar area with TV's if you just want a drink, and a more conventional restaurant area to the rear. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, offering us a table where ever we wanted. We chose the bar area where there is a great selection of local micro brewery beers supporting local businesses. A vast range of spirits and all the usual bottled beers and wines. We chose to eat whilst there, and were able to stay in the bar area where we were sat. The food was amazing with the usual Indian offerings, but also accompanied by some very tasty different Indian dishes and combinations. The staff were all very friend, chatty, helpful and attentive without being a nuisance. A big thanks to Olivia and Diksha for making our day very memorable and special, we will certainly be back and will definitely recommend tap and Tandoor to others. See you all again soon.

Went here with my dad for his birthday. Smashing little place, food was stunning and beautifully spiced, nice selection of ales. And considering we ordered enough food to feed 6 people it was very reasonably priced too.

Excellent food and Olivia was a great host, friendly and efficient. Well done everyone, we had a great lunch

Great food, great beer and Jasmine and others gave us great service! :)

Food was great. Attentive staff however staff didn’t put food in takeaway containers but instead gave me the containers to do it myself. No atmosphere; background music needed

Amazing food with great ambiance and fantastic service. Definitely visiting again and trying more from the menu.

It’s basically a sports bar that provides a great choice of guest ales and Indian food. Foods great, beers great and the staff are great too.

The food here was amazing! I had the daal makhani, okra fries and special naan. I'm shocked to say this, but as much as I love okra, the daal makhani stole the show! Thanks for the great meal and being so patient with your jet lagged customer!!

it has no reason to be one of the best indian food i’ve ever had but it is somehow. the prices are cheap and the drinks are awesome. i love the atmosphere as they play sports. it’s just such a good place

We thought there would be more real ales Our waitress Jasmine was lovely

Fantastic Food great service will definitely be returning !

Last I had visited tap and tandoor was seven months ago for a birthday family celebration. Great experience, so I recently had visited again. Where I’ve encountered a bad experience here, I was approached by a skinny and short male who addressed himself as boss man. Mentioned that he was the owner and smelt of alcohol. He was a disrespectful individual. He stated if I didn’t like the food , to not come back. I believe that’s outrageous behaviour towards a customer. Very displeased, will not be back.

Fantastic food best curry we’ve had in ages! Nyasha was a great waitress.

Amazing service from the team especially Hassan, Amber and Jetu. Food was 10/10, atmosphere was very relaxing and beautiful. I will definitely visit again

Gaby was a lovely server, thank you.

We had a lovely meal here. Food was delicious and really friendly staff. Our waitress, Jasmine, was really helpful. She made great suggestions for our order and was very attentive but not too much!!
