Went here with 3 friends, all had different meals, all excellent. Service is second to none and the cleanliness is excellent. Was a Monday night so was quiet. Highly recommend.

We ordered a takeaway on a Friday evening, we collected it. When we opened the chicken tiki masala I had no idea how I could eat it. I have never seen this dish so red! totally artificial looking, we were hungry so tried a few mouthfuls. Sorry never again. Such a shame because we love to support local businesses. I took a photo as I was in shock.

Dreadful experience… This restaurant has questionable standards, mediocre food quality, warmed up by basic chefs. If you’re looking for high quality Indian food, this is not the place to go. Ordered a Cobra with the food and saw the owner top the pint with another draft beer as it was flat. I sent it back explaining I didn't want a blend of beers and ended up with a flat pint of Cobra. If they are prepared to behave like this in front of customers, what are they prepared to do in the kitchen. Ordered a Chicken Shashlik (my favourite dish). Was appalled how it was served. It consisted of oily fried sliced (not skewered) onions and peppers which had been re-fried swimming in oil with a few pieces of re-warmed up chicken tikka mixed in, with no tomatoes. It had not been traditionally prepared on a skewer and cooked from fresh in the tandoori as you would expect. When questioned over this disgusting offering, I was told, they cook everything first before they open and re-fry it in a pan for speed! This unacceptable, poor cheap standard of re-warming food up to order seems to carry on through all their dishes. The meat is tough and lacking in flavour. Would not recommend or go back. Restaurant did however in their defence give us a refund.

We ordered Lamb tikka Pakora for starters. The meat tasted awful. For mains we ordered Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Biriyani and Chicken Naga. The Lamb Biryani had a couple of double fried eggs on top. Though the biryani was edible but the egg dressing was painful. The tandoori chicken was oily. Never had a tandoori of this kind. The Chicken Naga was also below expectations. One of the waiters was also unnecessarily talkative. Truly below expectations! Shall never return.

Tried for the first time last night, historically this place had had a good reputation, it was empty so I ordered a prawn madras, it was the most disgusting take away I have ever seen or tasted, a few very small prawns sat in a thin watery red liquid, no onions just a thin liquid and the bombay potatoes sat in the same filthy tasteless thin liquid. How can you make a madras tasteless??? WASTE OF MONEY!

We ordered take out by telephone because we had seen a recommendation in our holiday rental information pack and decided to give it a go.The menu had plenty of choice and there was free delivery offered, which seemed a nice gesture. It did not take long to arrive and when we shared the food it was utterly delicious. The hot curry was very spicy and just hitting the spot. I would totally recommend getting a take out from this Indian restaurant as it was top notch with generous portions.

Went for a curry on a friday night to our nearest restaurant that was full, so we tried a new one to us... what a mistake. The restaurant looks nice and the servers were pleasant. But the food was awful. Two dishes came out with a tomato sauce that was a bit like cambells tomato soup, No flavour at all. The large pieces of onion and vegetables that had been added tasted sour and not of onion at all. We were actually fearful of getting food poisoning as the taste was so bad, so we paid up and left the food. Food was quite expensive in comparison to nearby restaurants and An empty restaurant says it all!!!

We went for a meal with friends on Saturday. The food was very good but the reason for my low score was the service. It was very poor. The waiters were clearly rushed off their feet and just dumped the food on the table. The real low point was when we asked for the bill. We asked the waiter if they accepted American Express and was told 'No' and looked at us in disgust. He was so incredibly rude and ignorant during the whole process of paying it has really put us off ever going there again.

We eat a lot of curry in lots of different restaurants and this place has to be the worst in terms of food quality we have ever tried. We ordered 4 different main courses from the house specialities but the 4 dishes that arrived all looked and tasted basically the same, chicken with tomato purée and so bland! And although they were all described as "medium" absolutely no spice, chilli or any real Indian flavour at all! When we questioned why there was no "kick" they said they don't use chilli in a "medium" dish. Difficult to imagine what a mild curry could possibly be like!And it is very expensive, £11.95 for a main dish is more than you would pay in central London, which I wouldn't mind if it was top notch food, but it isn't! If you want a decent Indian meal go somewhere else!

We ordered drinks staff were impatient for us to order. So we ordered poppadum's which arrived before drinks. While eating starters we were asked to order mains, I said we had not decided. The restaurant was not that busy it did seem like it was a race to finish. I ordered tandorri duck with salad which was ok very little salad. And boyfriend ordered curry and cheese and garlic nan bread which he enjoyed. Impressed they did bring slices of orange and hot hand towels. We paid at till as was quicker, I like to sit and not rush meal not possible there. I won't be rushing back on Friday night. May be better different night. Easy to book lovely tables.

Went there tonight through Table Pouncer. When we arrived I said that we had booked through them and the guy said ok and ticked our names in the diary.The place was really cold around our legs and my wife kept her jacket over her legs the whole time.We were seated and then ignored for about ten minutes before our drink order was taken and we ordered poppadums at the same time. Drinks came fairly speedily. Another couple were seated next to us and had their drinks and poppadums before ours appeared. I had to ask again but they still took another five minutes.Our starters came before we had finished our poppadums and we were told to keep our dirty knives and forks for our starter!The starter and mains were really good.When I asked for the bill we were overlooked and the couple next to us asked for their bill and the bill and card machine appeared almost straight away and before ours. The restaurant was only half full and not very busy. At no time did anyone come and ask if everything was ok with the mealWhen we got the bill it was incorrect as the Table Pouncer deal was for half price starters and mains. I took the bill to the counter and explained the bill was wrong and the manager said I should have told them on arrival. I explained that I had and that they had deducted the cost of one main meal but not the starter. He begrudgingly took another five pounds off the bill.I'm dissapointed as this place has always been our go-to place if we want a local curry and I don't know if this treatment tonight was because we were using a TP offer? If it was, then they shouldn't be part of the scheme if they resent people saving £15 off the billWe didn't leave a gratuity

From the start of our short, and far from sweet, visit to the end we wished we had gone elsewhere. A pre - booked table was not ready, not to worry we thought and within a few minutes we were seated. The problems really started from here on in. The table was not suitable, I think even a small family of Sardines would have felt more comfortable at home in their can. No drinks order for 10 minutes, which we responded with ANOTHER polite request for a table to seat 5 adults which was only responded with a roll of the eyes and the lady walking off. As we caught the attention of the passing waiters busily laying tables we were repeatedly told to wait "2 more minutes". Alas the "2 minutes" never happened so after 30 mimutes we decided to leave. So as a final parting gesture the gentleman manning the reception/bar area felt it was fitting to shout at us that we didn't wait long enough and there would a table ready in just "2 more minutes".....

We booked a table for 5 a few days ago, arrived at the restaurant and after 10 minutes shown to a table that had been converted from 4 places to 5! As one of our party is a large size (18 stone+) we could not squeeze round the table so asked for a proper size of table. This was promised 3 or 4 times but having waited for 30 minutes and no solution we left and took our custom elsewhere. We then found a great Indian restaurant in Ringwood and will not return to Wimborne Tandoori.

This is not my local curry house but I do go quite often as regularly have a few drinks in Wimborne of a Friday evening and inevitably end up in here afterwards. Staff always seem very friendly and even happy to do stuff off menu when asked, if they have the ingredients. the currys are nice enough, nothing exceptional really but also nothing bad to report.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly and were offered a table that wasn’t squashed.Drinks orders and food orders were taken speedily and the drinks and starters arrived in good time. Having finished the starters we were asked whether we would like the main courses straight away or in a few minutes. A nice touch. The starters were very good but unfortunately the mains weren’t. The Lamb Bombay was ok but the Lamb Jalfrezi was not very good at all. The sauce was gloopy and bland and the lamb was almost non-existent. If we hadn’t had popadums and starters we would have left hungry.Overall the atmosphere was pleasant, better than the old layouts, the staff were very good but the food was not worth the money. The price has definitely had an increase and is now quite expensive, £10 for a main. Take-aways are better cooked and far better value. Maybe the chefs have changed or because it was early. It won’t stop us using Wimborne Tandoori for take-aways but we will have to think about visiting the restaurant again.

Arrived with a reservation at 7.30 on a Friday night. The restaurant was half full but none of the three staff acknowledged us for a good while; we were seated after about 5 minutes and then after quite a few more minutes had to ask for menus and drinks. Restaurant is smart and clean and the menu reads very well so we decided that despite the poor early service we would remain hopeful of a great meal. Our optimism was misplaced, lamb korai was bland and mostly onion; Chana masala was inedible it seemed to involve a tomato sauce and chickpeas plus an unidentifiable but artificial sweetener; sag paneer was spinach with a couple of cubes of cheese. So disappointing; we ate a little and left as fast as we could. Come on WT please do better! Say hello to your customers, smile, make eye contact then serve authentic food.

We went out to this restaurant and to say I was disappointed was an understatement. How could anyone make a curry taste more disgusting? We had 3 curries, 2 of which despite "being different" looked and tasted the same. The sauce was sweet and congealed...horrible! I will not be visiting again.

We always opt for this take away when visiting family in Wimborne. It is always great and we get a free delivery. The Chicken Tikka Bryani us my favourite, fragrant rice, big pieces of chicken and a lovely vegetable curry. Can also eat in.Never been disappointed.

Used this restaurant for many years and food has always been very good. Lately the quality has been very poor so won't be going any more which is a great shame.

We booked this restaurant through Table pouncer so had the discount which was great. However I think the menu is very good on price anyway so I would still pay full price.The food was amazing!! So very tasty and a large choice.Drinks are a little over priced like all restaurants in the wimborne area but not really an issue as like I said they all are in the area.The staff are very attentive and friendly. I cannot fault the service. The location is good too.Overall a brilliant restaurant and I cannot wait to return :-) 5*!!

We were told about this restaurant by someone helping organise an event we were attending. It was one of the few places open on a Sunday evening and offering something other than the usual chain pub food or Sunday roast (which we don't like anyway). Restaurant was spotless and service was efficient but not pushy. Only faults we could find was lack of tummy room between table and fixed seats and that coffee arrived before the dessert (although coffee did remain hot and was served with cream, not hot milk). We were full when we left but not feeling overstuffed. The 3 course/dish deal was good value and we used it to limit our choices but add a few extras.

It's a family favourite. We've used Wimborne Tandoori for over 25 years & have never been disappointed.The waiters are lovely. The food great & prices good value.We have family who visit from Birmingham who insist it's better than their local. This restaurant has seen many changes in the area since it first opened & it's still goes from strength to strength.Thanks John, Shaheen, Mustifer, family & staff, (Sorry if I've got the names wrong) We really appreciate all your hard work!

The food was quite good... Once we got it! (which took 1hr and 40minutes!). No-one wanted to serve the table (we were well behaved and sober individuals!), or even make eye contact! Our custom appeared to be more of a hindrance than anything. We were issued a non-itemised bill which made checking it difficult. One of the waiters was very rude to my friend, when all she wanted to do was pay! We will never be going there again.

Bitterly disappointed Luke warm food at best which I can't take but meat was dry as a bone when you expect it to be tender and succulent from a tandoori so disappointed
