The best restaurants serving Indian food in Test Valley South East

My husband and I had a lovely time at Spice Route. The food was AMAZING - best we've had in a long time! And the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be back again!

Oh my goodness we had such an amazing meal. The food is absolutely delicious and the service was incredible. We will definitely be returning

Lived in village 10 plus years. First visit to Pipasa. Won’t be going back. It was ok but there is much much better Indian meals to be had and much better quality. The open kitchen allowed me to view rice being moved from pot to pot by hand which isn’t great. In this day n age we should not be getting reheated chicken breast either. They need to sharpen up at Pipasa.

We tried a number of starters and mains, rice and naan. Delicious food, a good range of choice and great service. Our first time visiting - we will definitely be back.

Excellent food, really really tasty and friendly staff mean we are return customers!!! See you all again soon. Thank you

We have been coming here for years and there has always been a large group of us. The pre-orders are always spot on, food is gorgeous and the team at Shahi Raj are always very welcoming, attentive and friendly. The setting is humble and a relaxed atmosphere but we can’t fault it for a group get together & BYOB is a massive selling point too! Our group favourite is the Garlic Chilli Chicken - would recommend.

Late delivery, hard rice, tasteless chips & curry

I can't complain about the food, which is standard Indian Restaurant fare. The service was ok, if a bit slow. So why am I leaving a 2 star review? When the bill came it had a 15% service charge. I understand this for a large group. But for 3 people?! and 15%?! It's very awkward to say please remove the service charge from the bill, and I would rarely give a 15% tip. This is basically a scammy surcharge. I won't be returning until they stop this practice. In any case there is a better restaurant just around the corner.

Worst experience ever. Shocking cold food that had been microwaved. The beer had bits floating around in it. Then they tried to attack me when I was unhappy and stated I was only paying half

Honestly the worst curry I’ve ever had. Truly awful. Tasteless, literally no flavour, potatoes were horrible, naans awful, sauce bland.

Never delivered, uncontactable by phone.

One of the best Indian we've ever had. Had a chicken with peanut sauce, so good. A mind blowingly spicy flavourful Lamb dish - but so moreish. Could definitely taste the tamarind and almost imli chutney flavours. The stand out for me and all because of nostalgia is the coconut rice. Definitely reminded me of home -- rice grains separate, fresh finely grated coconut flesh -- couldn't stop eating it as is. Mexican Chicken Tinga was also a nice surprise - slightly salty but all in all better than some of the other Mexican chains that only serve Mexican food. New favourite takeaway!

Great Indian takeaway, simple phone ordering service, 25minute turn round very good for a saturday night, efficient at collection(easy parking right outside as well), food ready bang on time, very reasonable prices and very pleased with food quality (lamb passanda a top choice!) and good portion sizes. Definitely will be using again
