The Park Gate Tandoori in Fareham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

You won’t go far wrong having an Indian here coming from the North I’ve had a few in my time but the Darjeeling is one of the very best Anwar and his team work hard to ensure you are well looked after and have a enjoyable experience.

Myself and 10 other colleagues came here for dinner, which was prebooked weeks in advance however when we showed up, the man at the bar seemed shocked and quickly went up stairs to push the tables together. The tables were chipped and had bits missing from them, the chair legs were all wobbly and the plates have chips in them also, it really let the place down. Food was ordered and all came together, everyone seemed to have enjoyed it and the staff worked hard in serving us all drinks, making our food and making us welcome. Nice restaurant, could do with a freshen up off the items mentioned. The female toilet also needed a clean, the dust on the hand dryer was embarrassing! All in all, a lovely night!

Our first visit here, 7 of us for a celebration. All the food was outstanding, service good, surroundings nice. It was a bit quiet, but that suited us. Compliments to the chef, we will definitely return.

Visited the restaurant on Saturday 22nd of October to collect a takeaway for 4 people and told them we wanted to collect an hour later.The order was for onion bhajis,3 Biryani's and 1 Chicken Tikka Massala.when I got to the restaurant there was a 5 minute wait until the order was brought out which was fine.When we opened the bag we first tried the bhajis which were inedible as they were like dry dough balls with no onion taste at all. The Byrianis faired no better unfortunately,as they were the house special and cost more than the other Byrianis,we had high Hope's but unfortunately with the rice being too dry and no individual meat flavours being obvious,the 3 Byriani eaters only ate a small portion of the very poorly cooked and tasteless meals.Without doubt the worst Indian takeaway I've ever eaten(or not).Our joint conclusion was that the meal had been cooked when ordered and reheated when we called to collect despite saying we would collect an hour later,never again unfortunately!

We went with friends. Our first visit and the whole evening was FABULOUS - First impressions very clean and smart with a nice downstairs bar. Drinks choice was great with several fantastic wine options. Staff were amazing Chris was attentive and could not do enough. The food was amazing and nann bread excellent. We had several different curries all excellent inluding the lamb pathia

Fabulous food, great updated decor and great service..amazing menu !! Best chicken tikka pathia.. Will return.. thank you

Excellent choice of dishes, loved it they had dishes not tried before. Well prepared with friendly staff. Our preferred Indian restaurant of choice

Amazing meal, came out hot and flavours were gorgeous. Great service. Can't wait for the next visit.

This was our first visit here in years. We used to be regulars - had one bad experience so stopped going. We were curious to see what it was going to be like after rebranding/changing hands. We booked a table in which we had to wait for. The lady behind the bar was friendly. Once we got upstairs it took about 5 Mins for them to bring menus over. Drinks were ordered but not correct. Had no sparkling water & forgot my coke. The young chap with blonde hair made it very clear he didn’t really know what he was doing. We had to prompt him to take our order and when clearing plates he kept dropping things ‘It’s my 4th week’. ‘Sorry I’m not very professional’. If it was his first week we’d understand but not 4th!! The food was impeccable. So tasty, piping hot and fresh, came out very quickly. Service was very strange and made us all feel a little awkward. “Is the bill Gorgeous?” Don’t think we’ve ever been asked that before?!!

Now Darjeeling, this was the best Indian meal we have had in the area. Each dish was individually distinct with flavourful spicing and lovely fresh ingredients. Stair carpet looks in need of a good clean, but upstairs the dining area is bright and pleasant.

Been waiting for a few years to get into this restaurant after many recommendations. Finally managed to get a booking as quite popular, and now I see why! The food quality is excellent and service is good. Price is a little higher than expected but you get what you pay for....Good size portions and quality produce. Looking forward to returning, or even trying as a takeaway. I would have no hesitation in recommending this as one of the very few best Indian restaurants I have eaten at.

Having being a regular for years, mainly takeaway it was loverly to eat out again. Came in last minute after being let down by service at another restaurant (not Indian) table was available quickly and the food was exceptional - great team especially the chef

Now had 4 takeaways from this restaurant and I have to say that the food tastes authentic and the quality of ingredients appears to be excellent.

This unexpected little place right by Swanwick Station is a total gem. Food is delicious with all the familiar tandoori staples (and some more innovative specialities) given an original makeover. Beautifully spiced and presented, this will be our Swanwick go-to from now on. Staff are friendly and enthuiastic. Book ahead, though, because this place is small although they will do take aways.

This lovely Indian restaurant is located in the old station master’s house which was built in 1888 at Swanwick Station from which locally grown strawberries were transported all over the country. There is a good extensive menu with all the normal choices of Indian sauces with your choice of chicken, lamb, prawn or vegetable. We shared poppadoms and a selection of pickles (mango, lime, onion and mint) as a starter, I chose the lamb rogan and my friends each had a different curry, one with lamb, one chicken and one vegetable, accompanied by pilau rice, mushroom rice, plain naan and garlic naan. We all agreed that the food was really good and inexpensive. Although every table was taken, the service was very quick and friendly.

We have been coming here for 20 years and found it to be consistently good with Anwar the chef doing a good job. However it has recently been taken over, refurbished and renamed the Darjeeling. Standards really have slipped, stale chewy popadoms, cold Tandori chicken and chicken tikka that had to be sent back to be microwaved. Then to end it all they overcharged us by £5 on the bill. It’s a real shame, hopefully they will improve.

Curry on a Friday night. Despite having booked a table we had to wait and were then crammed into a corner. The people jammed next to us had their food dropped. The Chicken dopiaza had no tomatoes in it, and not much chicken. The food was not particularly hot when it arrived. It was okay, but unlikely to return Also, no hand towels / dryer in the the toilets?

I've been visiting this curry house since I was around 15. It is my absolute favourite and no where compares! Russell has done an incredible job with the new renovation, it looks modern, fresh, clean, beautifully designed and very inviting! Will continue to come here over everywhere else. If you are looking for a tasty curry in a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere you won't br disappointed. Highly recommend.

Decided to check the refurbishment out and we were really impressed; fresh and stylish. The restaurant was really busy but we were looked after until our table was ready. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious - Sali Chicken, Darjeeling Special and Chocken Tikka Masala were all fantastic. Unlike other Indians we have been to, we were not rushed out and we really enjoyed the evening.

Vine aquí para una cena con un grupo de 5. El restaurante de nuevo diseño parecía increíble. El personal fue increíble con excelentes habilidades de servicio al cliente que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Y la comida era deliciosa recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera. No podría pedir nada más. Te sientes como en casa tan relajado! Una visita obligada.

The new refurb is incredible. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Food was hot and delicious. Recommend to anyone!

un trago tranquilo y curry con la esposa al final de una semana ocupada la semana pasada. He estado yendo aquí durante 25 años y rara vez decepciona. Russ, Pete y los chicos hacen un buen trabajo para cuidarte y hacerte sentir bienvenido. Buena esa

Viajaba en tren sin aire acondicionado en un día caluroso. Tuve que dejar el tren en Swanick Railway Station para poder refrescarme.Estaba un poco preocupado cuando llegué porque me acompañaron escaleras arriba que estaban gastadas, sucias y olían a grasa de chips. El comedor no era así en absoluto. Estaba limpio y bien ventilado.Pedí un vino tinto y Pasanda de verduras. Luego me senté y leí sus comentarios. Mi preocupación creció.Mi copa de vino era rica y sabrosa. Llegó el Pasanda y lo inspeccioné vigorosamente por su calidad. Ciertamente, algunos ingredientes eran de una lata, pero también había un montón de vegetales frescos, bien cocinados. En general, la comida era deliciosa y muy agradable. El personal era amable y disfruté de una bebida en el bar con el propietario antes del próximo tren.Hay espacio para mejoras, pero mi experiencia fue la congestión del tren al sabroso curry con una gran comodidad, perfecto.

Me habían dicho que este restaurante estaba bajo nueva administración. El nuevo propietario tuvo una cálida bienvenida para nosotros y entabló una conversación amistosa. Mientras estaba parado en el bar, discutió el menú y tomó nuestro pedido. Cuando la comida estuvo lista, nos invitaron a subir para que nos sirvieran.Este enfoque es tan pintoresco y agradableLa comida era realmente buena con una generosa cantidad de arroz y una buena porción de pollo o cordero. La factura era razonable y sin duda lo recomendaría para probar.

He comido curry en muchos restaurantes indios, tanto en el extranjero como en el Reino Unido, ¡pero este es el peor de todos! ! ! Pedí un pollo jalfrezi - gran error. Estaba seco, aceitoso y carente de cualquier tipo de salsa. Parecía que se había mantenido caliente bajo lámparas de calor durante aproximadamente 3 semanas y sabía tan pobre como parecía. Cuando el camarero se acercó para preguntar cómo estaban las cosas, le dije que no estaba disfrutando de mi comida y que él, literalmente, se dio la vuelta y se fue. ! ! Que. . ? ? ?

Pensé que lo intentamos, ¡pensamos que se había renovado el año pasado! Sin embargo, el lugar no estuvo a la altura de nuestras expectativas! Se veía en lugares en mal estado y le faltaba ambiente! Comimos arriba y, aunque el personal era amable, parecía maníaco y desorganizado. ¡Ahora a la comida! El menú estaba bien atado e informativo y pedimos entrantes y platos principales! Los bhajees de cebolla eran enormes y agradables, y el resto también, ¡aunque muy básico! El chutney de mango y la raita de yogur eran baratos y sin sabor, y tuvimos que pedir un pepinillo, que llegó casi al final. La comida principal estaba bien, muy normal, el paneer de espinacas estaba frío y seco! Lo mejor fue el jalfrezi especial, que era muy sabroso!

Cold tasteless food, suspiciously weak wine, filthy stairs carpet , views into the kitchen pretty grim. Not recommended.

My partner and I are at the restaurant today. The food was very nice and not at all greasy. The staff were very attentive and it was all reasonably priced. I would return.

Comimos arriba con solo otra mesa completa un viernes por la noche. El servicio fue un poco demasiado adelantado. Los bhajis de cebolla fueron los más grandes que he visto y 2 de ellos son servidos. Me alegré de no haberlos elegido. En su lugar, opté por el pollo tikka verde, que era perversamente negro. Sin embargo, sabía bastante bien, aunque bastante seco. Los pepinillos eran bastante abundantes. Mi plato principal incluía un poco demasiado ghee. El pollo al ajillo con ajo parece estar muy caliente. Buena cerveza, así que en general merece un promedio.

así que bajé del tren a eso de las 4 en punto.

Esto fue hasta hace 3 semanas mi ir al lugar para curry. . . muchos han dicho para evitarlo, pero siempre he disfrutado de la comida y el equipo fue muy divertido también, aunque el servicio siempre ha sido lento, pero eso no es fin del mundo, simplemente planeé con anticipación para permitir el retraso que había llegado a conocer como normal.

This is our favourite Indian Restaurant and take away. The food is always great, service so friendly and personal.

La comida está deliciosa. Todo era perfecto. Siempre disfruto mi tiempo aquí con mi pareja. Recomiendo a cualquiera que pruebe la increíble comida de Anwar. El ambiente es fantástico y la comida era buena relación calidad-precio. Definitivamente voy a ir otra vez. Llevaré a toda mi familia allí para disfrutar de una comida y tiempo deliciosos. Ahora se ha convertido en uno de mis mejores lugares para visitar. Solo quiero agradecerle todo al personal. Vengo todo el camino desde Londres. Gracias Anwar por poner todo tu arduo trabajo y dedicación hacia tu comida y el restaurante. Desde la renovación, los restaurantes se sienten tan cálidos y acogedores. Quiéralo. Sigan así, todos. Te veo el mes que viene. X

As poor as it gets! The place needs a good clean. The food is poor at best and the wine was undrinkable. Very disappointed.

This was quite possibly the worst Indian we have ever experienced. The food was poor, too much oil, no delicacy in flavour, too much colouring. The chicken kebab was served and for the life of me I do not believe it was chicken. I eat chicken everyday so a brown coloured and red meat tasting kebab just didn't strike as chicken. The meat samosas are so full of potato that both appetizers are almost reportable to trading standards for incorrect product descriptions. The chicken patia was the worst ever eaten and the aubergine curry was bland and tasteless. Only the chana masala was passable. When you add the mediocre service and aged decor of the restaurant into the mix along with a men's toilet door that is difficult to lock.....this restaurant is unlikely to feature on your must visit list. Thoroughly disappointed since previous visit three years ago was pleasant. Avoid at all costs.

Tasty food. 35 minute wait from telephone order to collection. Husband offered a drink when he went to collect, when he declined his order surprisingly appeared. Disappointed tonight that our poppadoms did not come with salad and yoghurt dressing.

Puerta Tandoori tiene días en su mayoría buena y muy ocasional no tan bueno días. Cuando este último podría ser el poppodums un poco menos que el pollo fresco y un poco seco. Pero. . En un buen día, en nuestra opinión, obtendrá la mejor comida para llevar dentro de la distancia de conducción curry sensata, ningún bar. Ningún local no Biryiani (nuestro favorito), nada hace como Anwar ajo pollo chili como Anwar - tienes que probarlo! . Hemos sido clientes habituales para 10 / 15 años, pero también han visitado muchos otros localmente en ese momento. Ninguno de los otros vienen cerca de PGT en un buen día. Viva Bangladesh. !

Fantastic what more can I say Garlic chilli chicken mushroom rice best ever I have had a lot of these and that was the best I have ever tasted thanx p j and chefs

La comida es increíblemente buena! He estado aquí varias veces y el chef "Anwar" nunca deja de delicia. Siempre tiene unas sugerencias y nunca nos ha decepcionado. Me encanta este sitio y esperamos volver. Una gran comida india y con el camarero deranet, el servicio es increíble. He estado aquí cuando están ocupados y el servicio es el mismo. Me encanta este lugar y estoy deseando volver.

Went here just two of us staff were very attentive and friendly, we were the only two in the restaurant. Food is always amazing here and can't wait to come back.

Hemos visitado este restaurante varias veces, comer y llevar. La última vez que fuimos mi marido estaba muy mal después. Es una pena, ya que el restaurante es agradable, el personal no puede hacer más por ti y son muy acogedores. Sin embargo, el llevar...

A menudo nos visita aquí, buena comida, muy acogedor, amable si quieres algo que no está en el menú simplemente pregunta!

Este restaurante está situado junto a la estación de tren swamnore. La planta baja está la cocina y zona y el restaurante está subiendo por las escaleras, y por lo tanto no es apto para los usuarios de silla de ruedas o las personas con problemas de movilidad. Algunas de las mesas son bastante pequeñas. Los propietarios actuales han estado allí 25 años. Optamos por las noches especiales y no nos decepcionó. Es sorprendentemente el restaurante no sirve postres. Los precios del vino son razonables. Me volvería puramente en la calidad de la comida, pero es un poco tosco.

La comida estaba bien, perfectamente comestible, pero no memorable. Poppadoms eran un poco blandas, no lime con pepinillos chutneys y el vino tinto estaba helada. Sin embargo, la comida estaba bien, así como el servicio y el precio era muy razonable. Mientras que no esperas cinco estrellas de lujo merece una visita.

Haven't used them before for takeaway, called to see how long it would take as our usual takeaway can be 40 minutes at busy times, they said 15 minutes and it was ready soon after I arrived to collect. The food was really good, not floating in ghee, and spice level very good. We had King prawn Rogan Josh and chicken tikka madras.Will definitely use again and I am fussy.

We order a takeaway it was ready when we arrived and we got home it was delicious. One of tastiest curry I have had in years.

I have always had a good take away meal from this restaurant, the staff are friendly and the food is faultless. So much choice and my meals have always been lovely and fresh. 10/10.

These guys are win. Really friendly recommended. Loving life. Pradeep is really awesome. The food is excellent and it is an easy place to access from train station.

I used to go on a regular basis.. Then I got a take out.. Not good.. Gave benefit of doubt and tried again.. Still not good... That was 3 years ago so tried again.. Was absolutely the worst curry I have ever had and was ill all day after.. Hard chewy chicken as though it was left over and chucked in some sauce.. Absolute rubbish.....

Went in as a leaving party of 9 - the Park Gate is conveniently located in the former station master's house at Swanwick Station a 5 minute walk from the pubs and restaurants of Park Gate. The restaurant is upstairs with the bar, kitchen and toilets downstairs. It has recently been re-decorated and looks smart upstairs. Service was slow but very friendly. Starters were all fine but my main course of chicken tikka balti was so salty that I only ate half. The bill with a 10% tip was £300 so we all thought it was expensive for the two courses - that said we were offered complimentary liquers.

Well, another year on, a refurbishment and a menu face-lift, and still the same excellent food and atmosphere. Owner, Anwar Miah, is still my favourite chef patron.

Based at the railway station, it would be hard to arrive here after a long day and not have a curry. The parking is easy and you could arrive by train - worth a short train ride if you are local. Chicken Kebab and lamb chop starters were good. Recommend Garlic Chilli Chicken. They have just redecorated so it's lost a bit of charm but this hasn't detracted from the food. Great.

After fancying something a little different to all the chain restaurants in the area, we decided to visit here. We'd heard good things and thought we'd finally try it. We were not disappointed! The staff were very nice and the meal was delicious. Very generous portions and for a good price too. We'll definitely be visiting again!

I have been coming here on and off whenever I'm doing a course at the maritime college. Favourite is the special chicken jalfrezi, its really tasty, price is pretty reasonable too. Usually have a pint and chat to the staff at the bar while I wait and they are very friendy.

Really Lovely food, nice friendly professional staff. Would be nice to have a lady working there too. I recommend the lamb jalfrazi it's amazing

Told by a mate to give it a go. It was Ok but wouldn't choose to go back again, much better alternatives in the area. Food Ok, as were service & price although very small & cramped, which some may like as 'cozy'?

Food ok. Service atrocious. For the second time in a row, we ordered a meal well in advance. Turned up to collect at the time specified only to have to wait over an hour in a cramped room. Won't be going back again.

A birthday evening meal in a restaurant I have frequented for 20+years.The food was first class, cooked fresh by the chef patron, Anwar Miah. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and service was timely with all food hot. You can't miss it as it's situated in the old railway station building, adjacent to Lower Swanwick station.

Park gate es una linda zona para ir a tomar algo, con algunos pocos negocios. Pero este lugar no es la mejor opcion. Personal no muy amable. Y la comida normal.

We've been going to the Park Gate Tandoori on-and-off for many years. If you are looking for some kind of sophisticated, fine dining experience then this isn't the place for you. Then again, this is Park Gate so you probably haven't accidentally mistaken it for The Fat Duck. Generally, you'll find yourself having a good meal at a good price within walking distance of home. There are the odd occassion when it lets itself down (normally when the owner isn't cracking the whip in the kitchen) but else its good. If you want better head to Southampton or Southsea (but take into consideration the extra costs involved). And hosanna, they've cleaned the carpets!

2nd time here and the food and the service are second to none and excellent value for money.Well worth a visit and will be back

I love the quaint nature of this place. We have a monthly curry club and as a change to our regular we went to Swanwick station curry house. The barman already had a pint on the bar waiting for us and when we wanted he took us up to our table. The food was good and the trains passing by just made it fun. The prices were okay, not different to our regular place, the staff were friendly and helpful. I had the hicken tika balti and a chicken sali. Both were very tasty. I would say give this place a try.

A birthday takeaway was nothing special - everything we ordered (with the possible exception of dahl) was either tasteless or not very nice. The Bombay aloo was a very strange red colour. Expensive too. We won't order from here again.

been coming here for years...tiny little place but great food great service and very reasonable prices too...

Con: The waiter we had should not be a waiter, he looked disgusted to be there and clearly doesn't like taking your order. The guy literally snarled when you spoke to him!We were given a bottle of wine which wasn't what we ordered and it was clearly off when we tasted it - when advising the waiter of this he just took it from us with an irritated look and walked off silently. We had to go to another waiter and explain to which it was kindly replaced with another bottle we hadn't actually ordered. The first waiter was rude but in defence of the next waiter, he was a lot nicer.I used to come here regularly throughout the late 90's and early noughties but this place has definitely gone down hill. A few of us are now sick today after eating there last night. Pro: The food tasted great albeit it's left us poorly.

We have visited a few times both eating in and takeaways. I have to disagree with the reviews on here. The staff have always been very friendly on every visit and accommodating although I have to admit we have seen one guy that seems not to really want to be there and gets a bit frustrated if you ask any questions or make a request. The food has always been pretty good and you get large portions. I do agree that it caters for English tastes though this is perfect for my other half who is rubbish with spices. This is one of the only places he can eat anything other than a korma. I always order dishes hotter than normal here.

I have not eaten here for a few years - used to be a regular but after a very bad experience - we all felt ill after a takeaway - thought I would give it another go.The small bar was packed and a large number of people were ordering take-always - all regulars - so a good sign that my curry would be good.I ordered chicken madras, rice, chapati and some popudums .. The manager "lost my order" but as I was drinking a pint of Cobra and in no rush - no big deal.Pros takeaway was not coldCons - popudums were stale - clearly made some time ago and fried in very old oil - almost un edible. The curry was very poor - watery sauce with a tiny amount of watery chicken - really dreadful - the chicken portion was equivilient of a single tiny breast and was sourced from a cheap supplier - no texture what-so-ever. The sauce was really bad - watered down, tasteless - I couldn't finish the meal it was so bad.I gave you another chance ... Never again ! Why is it so busy ? A takeaway from M&S is half the price and 4 times better ...

I've seen more interest in a goldfish. Staff very blaisé, couldn't care less if you were there or not.

Cold bland tasteless food! Very ill next day after the prawns! Always cold in there and very tatty! Dreadful service! Feel ripped off!!

Food is good, although place is tiny and must have 60 odd diners squashed in there. Be prepared for the local kids noise as they make outside and often the small bar inside their hang out , I wouldn't waste the time again

Had a takeaway from this restaurant for the first time.What a disappointment, although the portion size was very good, the chicken was so very tough, I assume the rice was overcooked as we could cut it with a knife and fork it was so clumpy.

Visited with family one Saturday night and found the food to be excellent.In fact we could not finish it all there was so much and the portions were so large.Service was very friendly and attentive and they even gave us a little shot after we had paid the bill ...nich touch.Will definitely go back on my next visit to this part of the wirld

We have ordered from Park Gate Tandoori on a few occasions, more out of necessity due to a lack of decent Indian restaurants locally. The food is normally ok, nothing special, and a reasonable price. A tip... arrive 15-20 mins late and you'll arrive perfectly on time. I'm sure they try to get you to arrive early in order to wait and offer you an expensive drink. Never eat in the restaurant, it's small, tired, tacky and not worth the evening out. Eating in the restaurant will also subject you to the pretty poor service and swearing from the kitchens below - provided free of charge by the grumpy cook/manager.

A colleague fancied a curry so we headed to the nearest one we knew of after seeing this restaurant on a train journey. The site uses the old station masters house of Swanick station. The food was ok, but lacking any wow factor. The curry was obviously tailored to English tastes, so lacked the authentic Indian sensation.The staff were very pleasant and efficient, although a side order of roti was omitted with the main food order and arrived after querying its absence.The decor was a little tired with blue tak remaining on walls, left over from some special event.I think I will explore other Indian restaurant options before returning.

Great little restaurant, food came out quickly but not my favourite indian i've had. Prob wouldnt go again but thats just opinion of taste. Was pretty busy in there so must do well.

We used to eat here regularly but have not visited for a few months and was really ill after Sunday night meal. Cleanliness has deteriorated and doubt if we will return now.

Just got back from a fantastic evening at the Park Gate Tandoori. I should mention that I am not a regular but on arrival I was greeted like a frequent appreciated local !!! The barman, who I think was the owner was full of jokes and banter. We had a slight delay waiting for our table but it is Saturday night after all. The waiter was first class, entertaining and attentive. The food was excellent, I wouldn't change a thing and I will definitely return.

All in all OK, food was OK and service to match. Prawns were dirty and the butter chicken was so greasy that I was put off.This is an old school Indian and there were a lot of fellow diners who clearly come back again and again so they must be doing something right!

Difficult to rate, I wouldn't say it's average, it's not VERY good, but it is good.It's old school Indian and you know exactly what you are getting.Place was packed with lots of repeat customers.Staff were friendly, service was quick, a bit too quick to be honest, a bit more pace would have made my review overall very good.I personally thought the prices were very good, OK, beer isn't cheap (£4.40 a pint), but this is hardly unique in an Indian restaurant!

A nice takeaway.Friendly and helpful staff.Good food , and good value & generous portionsWell worth a try .......

The food and service were very good, atmosphere was also good. Thought the prices were a bit on the high side

1st problem, I was a solo traveller staying at the local premiere inn, booked taxi to the local indian (about a mile walk) on a sunday evening only to be told when I got there, sorry no solo dinners. I advised the waiter I was a solo traveller, and it was a sunday night and as an ex pat I had not had an indian meal for two years, I was allocated a table. Food was as good as I could hope to have found, I cant fault it, kitchen was open for all to see, when I go back I will try to eat there again, (but I might be on my own, maybe they will turn me away?) in conclusion, food good, I would love to go back, its worth the taxi ride.

Very friendly and quick service. I've been wanting to try the food there for quite some time, after noticing the lovely smell that comes from this place while I have been waiting for a train at the station. First impressions aren't the best when you first arrive but we were approached seconds are entering the place and then taken upstairs, where it's much nicer but also very small. The atmosphere was good when the place started to fill up. Food was average overall, which I feel matched the price. I would go there again!

Me and my wife took our kids out for tea at the parkgate tandoori restaurant, waiters were friendly and polite. We had chicken tikka jalfrezi, chicken tikka masala, king prawn passanda, chicken korma, chicken tikka main, bhoona chicken, bindi bhaji, masala dall, Bombay potatoes, pilau rice and nans. The food was good and the service was very good there was one major problem the chef downstairs had a very disgusting mouth we could hear him swearing every second we were offended by the language he was using my kids never heard such bad language it's such ashame the food was lovely and the service too because of the bad language we won't be returning

We went to parkgate tandoori on November not long ago, was greeted by a very polite waiter, who took us upstairs ordered drinks & poppadoma which came straight away with a friendly smile order was taken by a very experienced waiter who recommended special jalfrezi, kori gosth, butter chicken, chicken shashlik & sides etc, we did not have to wait very long for the food after the starters. The food was excellent along with the service waiters were very polite chatty kept us entertained my guests enjoyed the experience will definetley recommend parkgate we did say we will be back & we have been back & now it's become our regular

been going here for over 10 years and whilst the service has always been a bit haphazard, the food has generally been good. Over the last year the quality has declined and the last time we were there the service was laughable. I did complain and we got the starters for free. Sadly I have started to go elsewhere for takeaways and to eat in.

We had heard 2 very good reviews about this restaurant so decided to give it a go. Sadly it did not live up to it. The first problem was with parking there was none that was easily accessible and then having fought our way through the takeaway crowd to upstairs we were met with a very abrupt waiter who showed us to our seats handed out menus then left us to it. We looked at the wine menu but the wine we ordered was not available and as we both like Zinfandel a French rose was not what we wanted. We had to ask 3 times for a jug of water that when it eventually arrived was very warm with no ice and only 2 glasses for 4 of us. We hoped the meal would fare better and although it was tasty it was barely warm which is surprising as the kitchen is only downstairs. The focus really did seem to be on the takeaway side with the waiter disappearing and being away for so long we thought he had left the building. The drama that was coming from the kitchens at one stage made us think there was a fight breaking out. There were only 12 customers in the restaurant at this stage so they were not that busy and a little more effort would have gone a long way. We didn't feel that the food made up for the rest of the poor service so will not be eating there again.

My wife and I have eaten here many times over the past few years its our 'default' curry house and we have never had a bad experience...staff are friendly and the food is fine for the level of restaurant. I'll admit its not the Ritz and some parts of the building could do with a bit of TLC but its just a simple curry house which for us always satisfies.

The PGT used to be my local curry house and I visited it a lot. Popped in for a nostalgia visit with some friends recently and was bitterly disappointed. We waited over an hour for our food, then gave up. The restaurant was mostly empty but there was still no sign of our meals. A quick nudge to the staff to hurry up was met with sarcasm, aggression, swearing, threats and name calling. After hundreds of visits over the last 5 years, I shall not be returning.

This review refers to the takeaway.Won't be going back. Ordered at 6:30p , told to collect in 25 minutes but was still waiting at 7:45pm!! His isn't the first time either. Got the food home, only 5 small pieces of lamb in my madras. Other than that I have to say the food is quite nice, just a shame every visit involves waiting in a cramped room for over an hour!Enough is enough, I won't be going back.

After having worked our way through many of the other Indians in the area we have been using this place for our weekly curry for the last couple of months.On the plus side the food is fairly good and fairly consistent.On the bad sideThey dont deliverThey always underestimate your order collection timeThey then make you sit in a small waiting room and try and sell you drinksThey wont bring your curry until you complain and they have realised you wont ever buy the drinksWhen your curry does arrive after complaining - it there within 10 seconds bagged and good to go but often cold as its been sitting there (while they try and sell you drinks)The ladies toilets is downstairs and Ladies - when you go - all the chaps in the waiting room can hear you. The staff are generally grumpy especially the older ones and seem to think standing 10 people in a room the size of a couple of phone boxes is quite acceptable.Its not - We will be taking our business across to Kutis.I cant comment on the restaurant service as havent been in a while but the ladies waiting this evening for their 7.30 table were still downstairs at 8.15 (but then again they were buying drinks so could still be there 4 hours later)

I have used this restaurant on many previous occasions but last night, 20th May 2013. I arrived and asked for a table for 1 to be told we don't serve a single person. As we are busy, I stood in an empty restaurant at 7:00pm. WON'T BE GOING BACK. Better food and service at the Highlands Tandoori, Highland Road, Fareham, only a mile or so away

I have been using this restaurant on and off for 8 years and sadly on the last 3 occasions, the food has been very poor. The service has always been questionable, the menu expensive but in recent times there has been a massive drop in food quality. When our dishes arrived, it was cold. The Lamb Rogan was quite frankly dreadful - the lamb, if that is what it was, was virtually solid. My vindaloo was passable but not up to the standard of other Indians I visit on my travels. Sorry guys, you will not be seeing us again and I would certainly advise others to stear clear!! The 3 out of 5 marking for cleanliness from environmental health does not bode well either!!

As good as usual. (see previous review by us) The photos at the top are not the park gate. I have just uploaded the photos that are!

We found the staff to be very rude. It's their way or the highway. Certainly wont be back and I wouldn't recommend it.

Working away on my own and I fancied a curry like I do every time I work away. Unfortunately they would not serve my because they have a company policy were single people can not eat in this restaurant. Out of hundreds of Indian restaurants I've eaten in this is the only one that wouldn't serve me!!! More fool them when we start the large contract!!!

Never had a take away, We always eat in. The food is fab (Some reviewers have said watery. I have never found this) The bar is tiny and usually standing room only on busy nights the toilets are through the bar so have to push past people if you need the loo!!, This brings me to the next point. The service can be really slow / poor on Fri / Sat nights when they are busy, I have even had food served lukewarm once, so best go midweek when you get much more attentive service. We usually go either Thurs or Sun. Overall we really like it and forgive it's shortcomings as we feel the food more than makes up for it. (They get 4 out of 5 from us due to service issues)

I go to this restaurant usually once a month and it is fine. The food is better than most curry houses with interesting dishes. Service is friendly.. In my opinion it's the best in the Locks Heath area

Surroundings unique!! But Top food and good service..One well worth going to, if like a proper "British indian" restaurant ;-)

Pre-booked a table. Turned up at the allotted time and were shown to our table and given menus. Presently the waiter came across and we were expecting him to take our order but no, apparently there was a large group coming in and we were in the way. We were expected to move, and the waiter wasn't taking no for an answer.Poor. Poor. Poor.We left, never to return I'm afraid.Went to Basmati in Locks Heath Centre, where we were accommodated on a busy night and treated to some excellent Bangladeshi cuisine. Not cheap, but I guess you get at you pay for.
