The best restaurants in New Forest South East

Lovely staff, cosy atmosphere, decent price.

We decided to have lunch on our way home and we hit the jackpot. Totally amazing Indian dishes. The children had the Old Delhi Chicken Curry. It was so tasty and mild at the same time. I could define it as the best Korma I've ever had. Me and my husband had the Chicken shashlik Masala. The best and tastiest and authentic curry. The peshwari nans were delicious as were the rice sides and poppadoms and the sauces. We will definitely come here again. What a shame they don't have such authentic restaurants near London anymore. Highly recommended! Wonderful service too.

Really lovely staff. Friendly. Helpful . Attentive. ..and good fun. Sorry, didn't catch names . Good menu/ food - burgers and pie were really good.

Sign says open at the front. But closed at the back.

First time eating here today for Sunday lunch after visiting for drinks a few times. We were hopeful that the food would be good and we were not disappointed! Easily the best pub Sunday lunch we have ever had. Fantastic food and service from Julie. What an asset she is to the business. We will be back!!

Brilliant Sunday roast. Attentive staff. Great value.

Bit tight on the meat and was cold when delivered

Take away fish and chips cooked to order lovely and fresh.

The food was good quality and the service was excellent. Slightly higher price than I expected to pay, but overall a positive experience.

Going to be under new management again soon !!

We had a fantastic evening at The Raj. Great food, absolutely stuffed. Plenty to bring home for tomorrow too. Staff were really friendly. Really like the interior with the little booths. Feels like being in a posh train!

I have been using this take away for 20years never bothered with another. The food has always been delicious and I have tried many times to replicate the flavours after watching them cook my food to no avail. Delivery is haphazardous but collect it yourself and its brilliant

We just picked this place at random but we were glad we did. Freshly cooked food was delicious and served by very nice staff member.

We visited the Filly Inn after seeing the kids menu and liking the fact it had some "healthier" options like toad in the hole with veggies, cottage pie with veggies rather than the usual chicken nuggets and chips. When we arrived and walked in we loved the decor and the fact you could see straight into the kitchen, so could watch your food being cooked. We took a seat at our table feeling that we were about to have a wonderful dinner out, but that soon changed. The service was terribly slow, considering there was only one other couple in there eating! I ordered the pate and my partner ordered the calamari. When it arrived the calamari was missing the miso mayo, so my partner asked politely if he could have the mayo and the waitress did not apologise and simply turned her back and wandered over to the kitchen, we could hear the kitchen staff sniggering and the squeezed some plain mayo into a dish and brought it over. We are not ones to complain, so we just ate what we were given. And this is the most frustrating part, the food was fantastic. As I made my way through the pate, I soon realised my three tiny crostini bits of bread was not enough for my kilner pot of pate, so I asked for some extra bits of crostini so I could finish my lovely pate as I can not just eat the pate alone. Again, the waitress did not apologise and just looked at me shocked and walked off. Again, I could hear sniggering from the kitchen and as my bits of crostini was brough out, I heard the chef say "she will probably want more pate now"! I was shocked by this, I didn't think asking for an adequate amount of bread with the amount pate that was served was a big ask and on the menu it reads it comes with ciabatta and this was definitely not ciabatta, it was three tiny pieces of crostini. When our table was cleared, our drinks were empty but we were not offered more drinks, therefore we asked. Our old bottles, glasses were not taken and when our second round of drinks arrived they still were not taken. Our mains came out, and again it was delicious - I had the mushroom pie, my partner had shepards pie and my son had toad in the hole. We always order dessert, but we just wanted to leave by this point as we felt unwelcome, so we asked for the bill. When the bill came, we were charged for the extra bits of crostini and also, 12.5% service charge. I would like to say that we always tip generously, but 12.5% service charge for inadequate service was quite hard to swallow. But as I said, we always leave a tip so we did not ask for this to be removed. Now, onto the charge for the extra crostini, now I do not mind being charged for extra but I feel that this was not an "extra" this was just compensating for the lack of bread that was misadvertised and put onto my original plate. Also, that fact that my partner never got his miso mayo. In hindsight, we should have complained at the time, but we are not ones to cause a fuss, especially with my son present and by now a family sitting behind us, so just paid the full amount including the service charged and left. We would have been regulars and would have recommended the Filly Inn to others, but we won't be returning and tell people to avoid. I would like to end this review with a plea to the management - you have the decor and the food right, it was lovely but you can't go on just that alone. Please just work on the service and just the finishing touches that make people want to return and recommend.
