  • "Service was slow, was served after people who had come in after we'd ordered."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Undoubtedly, the best Indian food available at Bournemouth the city centre."
  • "The Sri Lankan lamb curry was packed full of flavour."
  • "This is one of the best dosa I ever had in UK, their Mysore masala dosa is amazing and it brings so authentic taste of South India."
  • "Amazing south indian food - idly, dosa, wada, sambhar, chutney etc..infact other dishes, like gobi manchurian, were delicious too."
  • "Very authentic Sri Lankan dishes! Not since our honeymoon in Sri Lanka have my wife and I had such a delicious meal."
  • "Food is delicious and so are the drinks."

Cons:

  • "If you want a decent south indian meal then avoid this place."
  • "Quality of the food is questionable, very few ingredients and lots of spicy sauce."
  • "Flavours were also mediocre and basic."
  • "Even the chutney's lacked flavour to help complete the meal."
  • "Very Very expensive. £10 currys you get only 2 pieces of panner."
  • "Worst food ever. Half of the menu items are not available."
  • "The food was bland and the staff seemed uninterested in service."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "The servers behaviour is not at all good. We are not here for free, we are paying, at least give some respect to the customers."
  • "The only reason to rate 4 not 5 is because of the wait time, which needs to be improved."
  • "The mysore masala dosa was not worth it as it tasted much the same as the masala dosa."
  • "I think they should change the staff in front, there was one lady.."
  • "Been coming here for around 10 years, since it first opened and it never disappoints."
  • "The staff weren't trained properly."
  • "Rude and unprofessional staff( especially the receptionist)."

Cons:

  • "Pretty rude staff and service."
  • "The weekend buffet is gone downhill, more expensive and of poorer quality."
  • "Noodles: 1/5 (recommend removing this from menu. It's not their speciality and tasted very bad.)"
  • "The young man serving me was so kind to try their best to be quick even tho they were busy."
  • "Lovely selection of South Indian cuisines.and my family loved the chicken fried rice and noodles."
  • "Excellent cleanliness."
  • "Good service."
