The best restaurants serving Indian food in South West

Fantastic evening at the Indian Masala. A great selection of starters and mains including their own speciality dishes. We were spoilt for choice. All food cooked to order and it was so delicious. Five star service. Thank you to all of the team. Our next visit is already booked so see you soon .

Food was amazing as usual. The drivers usually ring to ask me to come down, but this driver followed my instructions and delivered to my door, he was lovely. Excellent experience all round.

Only had a few starter bits and they were horrible Keema rice was dripping with oil/grease and made us feel sick Both naan breads had no flavour at all and we're very doughy The cheese naan bread didn't have any cheese at all on the one side The mint and chutney sauce were too sweet The only thing decent was the kebab meat and even that was just ok Worst Indian food I've ever had

I’ve read a few reviews on here and I’ve realised most of the reviews in the last few months have been very poor. I just wanted to let everyone know Deepam Is now under new management since May this year , so unfortunately it's all changed . I used to be a regular before the new takeover and the food was so good and tasty and you can see reviews from over 6 months ago and older the reviews have been great. Unfortunately some people are still under the impression it is still the old management because the name still stands however it is not, there’s has a been a new management in place and after reading these recent reviews it’s such a shame to see the name being tarnished. Please have this in mind!

Only fault was our table was too small for 4.

I recently dined at Indian Ocean and had a delightful experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, and the service was prompt and friendly. For my meal, I ordered the egg fried rice and plain rice, both of which were well-prepared and complemented the main dishes nicely. The Chicken Madras was a standout; it was rich in flavor and had just the right amount of spice, making it a satisfying choice. I also enjoyed the snacks platter, which offered a great variety and was perfect for sharing. Overall, the food was delicious, and I would definitely recommend Indian Ocean to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine. I look forward to returning to explore more of their menu!

My first experience of this restaurant although I’ve heard great things from a friend who lives locally. On this occasion we had a takeaway. My chicken tikka Marsala was delicious and I enjoyed the poppadoms with pickle pots - a first for me. I hope to return when next visiting Dorchester and have a full restaurant meal.

Extremely rude waiter, long haired mullet. Completely understand the restaraunt was busy but it’s not what you say to a customer it’s how you say it. He had a rude tone of voice and was not apologetic at all. No customer service skills whatsoever when it came to his response for asking to order.

Really impressed, would highly recommend

We were in the local area found this place on google, upon entering warm greeting. Asked about takeaway told yes had some chairs at side. Restaurant full really busy, food coming out looked lush. We ordered a nice size order, food did not take long to come out at all good points. Onion baj were lush some of the best. Poppadom for 75p each you think get more than one mint dip, when ordering five think it was, normally we would see a few dips different ones. The chicken in the dishes were lush. The lamb dish I had was nice. The korma was a no go, very pale in colour strange had a flavour then masked by very bland watery flavour. The naan very damp, we had three different ones. I liked mine the other two said about not great but might have been because In plastic bags. Some nice points and some lacking in area but how busy they were just put to that. Might try again.

Very fresh tasting and flavoursome Dhansak curry and other dishes. Possibly the best Dhansak I've ever tasted. Thank you

A dessert that will please any chocolate lover and leave you smiling..

Tried to order online, however once we got to payment screen it came up with an error message saying the order could not be processed and therefore payment had failed. So we ordered from another restaurant, only to find that ‘The Raj’ had in fact taken the money out of the account, we called the restaurant to inform them of the error on the website and to cancel the order (after all we had now ordered from somewhere else, due to the error message we had recieved) only to have a gentlemen answer the phone very rudely, and argue with us that there wasn’t a problem with his website and then try to give us a sob story after we had explained the situation to him, and yet he still denied there being a problem! Although common sense would make it obvious that if there wasn’t a problem while ordering, we would not have felt the need to have order from somewhere else! Due to this experience alone, I will NOT be ordering from this restaurant again, and I most certainly will NOT be recommending to family and friends!

Can't fault the food at all. Be warned however, delivery is VERY hit and miss.

Phoned in to order takeaway. Got told can't hear you and put phone down on me. Drove and went in to order. Waited 15 minutes whilst 8 phone orders taken. Waiter then walked away saying so busy. Obviously too busy for my order. Went to Jagua. Polite service. Excellent quality of food 👌
