The Indian cottage in Fareham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fourth visit. Doesn’t disappoint. Chicken chat starter was enough for 2 to share, as was our main course and rice. Peshwari naan was light and fluffy. Several drinks. £47 per couple incl a tip. Great value, friendly staff. See you again soon!

brill food. lamb saag was Divine 👍

delivered by friendly driver,we both really enjoyed,and both commented on the fluffy rice.

Chicken was a little dry on all 6 dishes the group bought. Service is incredibly slow

I remember eating in the Indian Cottage restaurant when I lived in Lee on the Solent some twenty two years ago and I was delighted to find when I visited Fareham during a holiday in the UK that the restaurant was still in business; that the atmosphere was just as I remembered it: that the food was just as good and that excellent service was provided by the staff. I only wish that the owners could open a restaurant near my present abode.

My usual was shut so decided to order from here for the first time, came earlier than expected and was very tasty! I enjoyed very much. Thank you! xx

Food was absolutely amazing service very slow

Wow food ...very tasty and delicious. Very nice service

This food was amazing! Best lamb balti I’ve had for a while! Will be ordering again! Your driver was lovely too! A+++++

First order from Indian Cottage and very impressed. Delivery was very quick and food piping hot. The portions were very generous and every dish was full of flavour. Will be back.

Superb as always! Can’t recommend them enough!

Not all ordered food was delivered originally

Very tasty food and extremely generous portions.. staff are helpful and friendly.

Have been going here for a long time and the food is always excellent, but the best thing about the restaurant is how kind and friendly the staff are. We have been taking our little one since he was born and nothing is ever too much trouble, the staff on several occasions have even offered to entertain or hold our son so we can eat our food. The best curry house in Fareham run by such a lovely family. X

Always top quality food, always on time.

Slightly early delivery, good food.

Excellent as always :) thank you very much

Great tasty food that arrived hot thanks to a polite delivery driver.

Food quality was good but service was quite slow.

Great service and great tasting curry as usual from Indian Cottage . Food arrived quickly and hot

Requested a little birthday message on the delivery somewhere and what we received was VERY sweet indeed. The food was top notch, high ratings are very well deserved. Thank you so much, made his evening and he finished off my vegetarian dish too so it really must be good! Will definitely be returning. 10/10

We decided on a cheeky curry last minute, have to say it was excellent! We had a lovely king prawn dish which was rich and delicious with lovely tandoori prawns, spicy mushrooms side dish and vegetable rice which was light, fluffy and tasty. Service was excellent despite the restaurant being pretty full. We're not regulars as it's a drive into town but have never had a bad meal here. Good value for money, all in all a great night. Going to make the effort to go back more often!

Great food and service. Will return.

They do the best spicy chicken tikka starter. No other Indian restaurant I've been in does this. They have a good menu and the staff are very friendly.

Went early evening and was very quiet in the restaurant. Food was delicious and service impeccable!! Will definitely return!!

Lovely and fresh and great service

Went out for an Indian meal on a Sunday night. Despite the town feeling empty, the welcome was warm. The choice of dishes was extensive, food presented well, plentiful and tasted fantastic. I’ve not been to the Indian Cottage for many years, but would go again - wish that I had been able to get there sooner.

The service was excellent as was the main course. The Pakora starter tasted fine but wasn't very authentic that's why I only have 4 stars. Would definitely go back again though.

Me and my partner go here often, always have a great experience. Staff are friendly and have knowledge on the dishes. We always feel welcomed every time we visit and look forward to going back each time

Really great food and lots of it, the paneer pathia was amazing we will be ordering again for sure.

Order not as asked for. Disappointing. Food not super warm but was tasty

We went here for a curry straight after work on a Thursday. It's a great little place we were taken aback by how nice and welcoming the staff were when we arrived. It's bright inside and the seating is ample. We all sat down and waited around 5/10 mins before a drink order was taken. A little slow in delivering the drinks but then after our main was ordered we proceeded to wait roughly 50 mins for 6 curries and the place wasn't too busy. Popadoms were excellent, freshly cooked to order. The curries rice and breads were all fantastic, you cannot fault the food here that's for sure. One of our party asked to take hers home for leftovers (roughly a third) and the waiters threw it away, however they actually cooked her a fresh curry, rice and naan to say sorry. The staff were amazing Highly recommended if you are not in a rush.

Always have lovely food there and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend if you live in Fareham area.

Really enjoyed the experience at the Indian cottage. The staff are really friendly.. Owner was very passionate on recommendations on what to order .the food was outstanding and delicious and came out hot! Would really recommend the food here! 10/10

Easily the best Indian in Fareham the food is so fresh and full of flavour, good value for money. The takeaway is just as yummy as eating in the restaurant.. Order you won’t be disappointed..

If you fancy good food go no further.Excellent on all levels once again. Thank you

The staff are welcoming. I had the chicken Biryani, it was we’ll spiced and delicious. Highly recommend. Top Tier.

Slow service, table not set, menus has old bits of food stuck to them, food was ok, sat at the back in the cold, water dripping on 2 members of the party from a leaky ventilation grill in ceiling. Staff friendly enough. Doubt I will return.

Revoltingly salty I couldnr eat it

Good food, nice curries with a few twists in the specials - lamb with lime pickle was great, good service. Shame it was quiet. It was very windy though and raining so maybe it was that.

Food wasn't hot and I received the wrong items, overpriced and quality wasn't great

Absolutely delicious chicken korma garlic naan and sag aloo

Nice friendly staff with cold kingfisher

Excellent food. Worth the small wait

Great curry as usual , delivered hot and v tasty .

Excellent food and service as always

All good. Nice food, decent pricing and friendly staff. Their chicken jalfrezi.. Heavenly..

Delivered hot and quality excellent

Food is excellent always hot & delivery driver is so polite

Staff are always amazing. Been going there for ages at least once a month . Food always fantastic.

Crispy onion bhajis, thick and creamy Dal... Warming hearty Paneer Ceylon. Fresh Kingsfisher on tap... What's not to like?

Do not recommend this restaurant. Found maggots in my napkin while I was eating. Restaurant should be reported to the local health authorities.

Wow! The food was absolutely fantastic, very quick service and food came out beautifully! very well presented, will definitely be returning! Thank you very much indian cottage!!

Great food. Will definitely be using again

Unfortunately our delivery was short of an item..disappointing. delivery on time, which was good.

Great meal thanks and reasonably priced

Lamb bhuna, lamb was succulent and melted in the mouth, the whole order was enjoyed. Only thing would hopefully be less grease but definitely no lack in the flavour. Thank you!

Food arrived cold. Mint sauce tastes like toothpaste, mango chutney tastes bitter and off. Very disappointed t that the food don’t come with rice but you are not made aware of this or given an option to pick a rice. 0 out of 10 for me

Once again Excellent food and service. This restaurant will take some beating. Thank you.

I've never been so poorly after having an Indian before. Will never come here again and for 2 people it was so expensive too

Lovely hot tasty curry I recommend the lamb chilli garlic masala

Everything was delicious, highly recommend!

I fancied trying somewhere new and this restaurant was half a mile away with good reviews. Despite the close proximity, the food arrived luke warm and was quite frankly disappointingly bland and tasteless so I have failed to experience other people's opinion. Needless to say I shall not be returning!

Expensive, for quantity. Tasted good though.

Indian Cottage is a great restaurant whether in-house or take away. Highly recommended.

For a Tuesday it was reasonably busy. The food was good if not spectacular and as a group of 4, we all thought it was expensive in relation to what we had compared to other cuzza houses we visit.

Very good food and nice and hot when delivered

We had an amazing evening. Food was excellent and service was professional and freindly. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food every time. Hot and tasty. King prawn curry has plenty of prawns and the peshwari rice is amazing.

We had a family birthday celebration meal here and I have to say they did us proud great service amazing food and really great atmosphere . We often go here but it’s the first time for all the family and they all had nothing but positive feed back on the venue and the delicious food so a big thank you from us all 💖

First class service and excellent cuisine. Also good selection of wines. We will be visiting again soon

It was super tasty! Great flavours x

As always truly lovely food and excellent service. Thank u

What a great spot! The staff were welcoming and friendly. We stopped on a Saturday evening without a reservation and they were fantastic in finding us a table. The food was great and we felt well looked after throughout our visit. Would recommend without hesitation!

Pakora was not a real pakora, full of shredded chicken, old tasting and dry. Butter chicken was tough and also old tasting.

Fantastic food and great staff, very friendly and welcoming

Ignore the outside and do go in, you will not be disappointed. Friendly efficient service, lots of choice on the menu, quick service and plentiful portions. Reasonably priced and great quality.

Delicious food, polite delivery driver. Overall wonderful meal. Would recommend ☺️

Didn't receive any poppadoms and the onion bahjis were very overcooked and dry. The peshwari rice was very ordinary.

Over priced such small potions delivered by own driver not just eats so was not hot will not use this restraunt again

Beautiful authentic well cooked food. Was recommended from a friend to try. Haven't looked back. Had been looking for a decent Indian restaurant 4 some time. They are the number 1.

just wish the onion chutney was a slightly bigger portion, otherwise another lovely meals. 👍

The food came 10 mins early which was nice and the food itself was very tasty. will definitely order from theem again!

Fabulous, as always! Thank you

Need to not have curry grease all over every container. Not seen anything like it. Made a right mess serving it up. Food was really good though just massive let down how it arrived.

Really nice food and good service

Always a cracking curry every time we order No messing around and always get to is on time.

Lovely food and really prompt service

Delicious as always & very happy with a few extras thrown in! Great service, great food. Best curry in Fareham. Highly recommend! Thank you 🙂

Been there with my wife., yesterday. Place is nice, cozy, family ran business for over 40 years!! Food is tasty, starter with chutney s and lime pickle mind blowing! So good! A bit disappointed with portions though. Yeah, they brought us rice with mains but at the end of the day I had the feeling that behind the "fine dining experience", they were just robbing us :) I have ordered a pinot noir 2021, (medium low range/ more low then medium) and total bill, ( we haven't had starter or desert) was £90! What a theft! :)) I know places that for £90 pounds you walk out barely capable to move or speak! With at least a bottle of wine extra! Or aperitifs. For example Woks wich unfortunately is currently closed. Round the corner. Yes, I d enjoyed the service and the experience, but I will think twice before go there again. Not saying I m. Not going back. But I ll have to consider. Not really worth it. Not Michelin, not rosette, paper tissues . Come on! Portions for mains could be bigger. I ll. Be back.. MAYBE SHAME I DID NOT TAKE ANY PICTURE

Mine was so hot I couldnt eat it. It would be useful in the app to show how hit dishes are, please. Disappointed.

Lovely and flavoursome. Would order again

Not the greatest overall.. I started with lamb chops which were actually very nice you could tell that the spices used were fresh. Unfortunately the main course was very mediocre and without flavour. All I could taste was chilli! I actually had stomach cramps the next day. One plus is that they have Kingfisher on draught.

The curries we ordered were superb! Lovely meat and sauce, really 10/10! Just not a fan of the plain naan… very sweet, not a great dough today for my palate, but I couldn’t get enough of the butter chicken

Food was OK but arrived about 45 minutes late.. I think the restaurant was very busy last night.

The restaurant was really busy and our food took longer than expected to be ready. The owner and staff were very apologetic and compensated us for the delay. The food though, as usual was out of this world. The best Indian around and the portion sizes are huge. I will still use this restaurant as everyone can have a bad day, with a lack of staff and large groups booking. Thank you for making us feel valued as a customer and for your wonderful food.

All food was cold, chicken was pink and naan wasn’t cooked and a whole curry was spilled in the bag on delivery. Also delivered late

Chicken was dry, the mixed kebab started had an onion bargie

11 of us came for dinner lovely as always and excellent all food came out together thankyou

Never been to this restaurant and sadly I will never be returning, the service is so very very slow and poor, you almost need to beg to be served. Food is ok nothing to write home about. I just felt they did not want you to bed there or you had put them out. The service industry needs to go the extra mile at the moment.
