The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

Wonderful Hyderabadi cuisine in Caversham! Highly recommended for authentic Indian dishes

Lovely restaurant, excellent food. Staff were charming and the atmosphere was good. So glad to have found this restaurant during our stay in Southsea. Will definitely return when staying nearby.

Really warm and welcoming restaurant, I have used Mardi Spice for over 16 years and can honestly say, their food is fantastic, cooked to your liking. Highly recommend them.

Good value, reasonable prices. Generous pickle tray with the poppadoms. We'll worth a visit.

Cosy little pub with very low ceilings …. Great pint and food

This is weird. I live near this restaurant and it hasn’t even opened yet (as at November 2024) so how can it have so many ‘great reviews’. This is very dodgy!!!!!!

I had never been to this place before and only stumbled across it due to them giving away furniture. So I messaged the ad on Facebook and asked if what I was after was still available and was told to go down between 9am and 12pm. Which I did. I got there for 9am. The manager/owner wasn't in yet and after the staff called him, I was told he would be there in 5 minutes. The staff were lovely and offered me a drink while I was waiting. After half an hour and a few phone calls from the staff, he finally arrives. I explained again what I was there for and was actually laughed at. After a bit of discussion, he told me to take the chair and pointed to one next to a main eating his breakfast (I'm so sorry if that man is reading this). The whole cafe was looking at me at this point. I was then left to try and get the chair through the doors without help. Honestly, one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I was made to feel so small just from responding to a Facebook ad... I can honestly say I will never be returning to this place to put money in that man's pocket. Such a rude person! If I hadn't been made to wait half an hour I think I would have just walked out without the chair. If the manager/owner reads this. Maybe make it clear what your ad is advertising and try being on time when you give a time to someone else. Your manners could do with improving too!

Originally predicted an hours wait but after calling Padpad restaurant the delivery was with us within half an hour 🥳

A friend booked us a table here after reading Mark Budd’s review a few months ago. All I can say is his review was accurate! Would definitely go again

Curry didn't have much flavour and the chicken was over cooked. Naan was nice as were the poppadoms and chuneys. Onion bajhi tasted like they came out of a packet. Disappointed really as had high expectations as it used to be amazing. I came in Saturday 19th and ate in. Honestly the chicken wasn't great and the portions were very small, I eat plenty of Indian food and this was definitely average at best. When you pay £25-£30 you expect a great meal.

Good customer service and staff

Ordered a takeaway. Wasn't ready on time. Missing item. Food cold when we got home and we only live a couple of mins away.

Best curry in town , was 10 of us on a Friday evening , we was well looked after , will be back

I ordered food for collection, and although it was ready in 25 minutes, it was mid at best. The pakoras (4) were soggy and unimpressive by the time they got home. The chicken tikka biryani was also a little disappointing. The rice had almost no flavour. The chicken was tasty but there wasn’t much of it. The vegetable curry was okay, but still uninspired. Overall the biryani was lacking in flavour and underwhelming. I’m a little disappointed, I’ll probably go elsewhere for an Indian takeaway next time.

The Spice Room is now closed and the building is up for sale.
