The best restaurants serving Indian food in Test Valley South East

This is an amazing restaurant of authentic southern Indian cuisine. Each dish is carefully prepared using a wonderful array of varied spices. I'm a foodie and I find many Indian restaurant dishes jaded and lack lustre. This restaurant is an utterly wonderful experience. You will be wowed by the freshly cooked delicious fare, very different to the average. Thank you to all the team at Spice Route.

Had the most amazing meal last night, would 100% recommend excellent food and impeccable service looking forward to our next visit

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.

Wonderful food, shame about the awful service, waited a long time to give our orders in, waiter did not smile once, other waiters seem to not care about the customers, saw them leaning on the bar doing nothing, do not think we will be going back there, would not recommend this place to my friends, such a shame because the food was so tasty.

this spot is amazing and they are so polite. They was amazing and they was patient. Thank you for much for our experience and will be telling people to come and I’ll definitely be coming more often.

A wonderful family restaurant. Excellent food & extremely accommodating I have eaten here for years, the cuisine has always been delicious & consistently tasty. The staff a very friendly & helpful.

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.

We went for an evening meal with friends. Nothing particularly wrong with my food. It turned up hot and fairly quickly. The mushroom rice was good but the lamb pathia I ordered just lacked flavour and heat that other pathia’s I’ve had at other restaurants

Restaurant looks small at first but plenty of tables at the back great choice of curry dishes the Purbani specials are worth trying All in all a good curry, House

Worst takeaway curry I have tasted. FULL of salt, greasy and tasteless. The potatoes in the sagaloo were old and soggy. After a few mouthfuls I threw it all in the bin were it belongs. What a waste of money! 😡

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about! I’ve been coming here for years now, as well as receiving takeaways, and have always had a positive experience. The food is great, especially the £9.95 all-you-can eat buffet option, they have a 5* hygiene rating and are always spotlessly-clean, and the service is always fast and very polite. I have brought my Meetup group here more than once with no concerns. Everyone talks about Jeera at other events and says how good it is there.

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
