Papa John's Bournemouth

Ordered a lamb madras but I have had gravy with more spice in it. It was more like a Korma. Lamb was lean and tender but I ave had a lot better curries.

I have been visiting this place with my friends for years now. The owner is the same and the curry tastes excellent every time I've been here. Service has always been very friendly and If it wasn't so far from my house I would visit more often.

I eat here often! If you like traditional Indian food, this is the place for you! The oldest Indian restaurant in Bournemouth and, in my opinion, the best for taste. Everything is cooked from scratch so can be cooked to your style and preference! This is not your typical takeaway with bright food colouring used, it's simply authentic, definitely one to try! : Ver carta

Great food as allways being veggie it is nice to have a good selection of food to choose from. I have been eating here for many years and would not go anywhere else in Bournemouth for Indian food. Great service and beautiful flavors in the food. Nothing is too much trouble for the team here. So nice to have such good service and made to feel so welcome. I will be visiting for many years to come.

When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was the over powering smell of the fat fryer; I suspect they haven't changed the oil in a long time. It was too late to leave, so I ordered to be polite. As I sat waiting for my food, I couldn't help noticing the faded and worn decorations, which looked like they were quite glamorous 20 years ago. When I got my food, it was very oily, and the nam looked like the kind you buy in Asda and heat up, not the authentic, hand-made type I was dreaming of. The pilar rice was also the strangest colour I have ever seen. In the end I left as much as I could, and went next door to Dominos. I think this restaurant has had its day, which is quite sad because the...

After walking around for ages looking for somewhere nice to eat, we were tired, hungry and desperate so despite the look of the place (which was empty peak time Saturday night), we walked in. Service was average, only 2 staff on duty (I think 1 doubled up as the chef). They gave me the wrong drink and when I returned it, the owner waiter cum chef implied I was lying...anyway the starters arrived, manky side salad, limp lettuce and soft onions. Poppadoms were stale and cold probably left over from the day before. Curry arrived but was very very oily, tasted okay but I was aware of how much grease there was!! The owner cum chef was very nice and chatty and gave us the complimentary sherry but... Ver carta

Having dined in this Restaurant on a previous visit to Bournemouth, I decided on a re-visit as I was very pleased with the service I received last time. Although it was mid evening, the Restaurant was practically empty, I was greeted by a polite young member of staff, shown to a table and drink order taken. On my previous visit, I spoke to the Chef Mr Ahmed who prepared a special dish for me. I asked if he was still the Chef, was told he was and would come out to see me. The greeting was very friendly as we renewed the acquaintance, he is a very warm and friendly character and keen to please customers. I asked if he could like before do a Naga for me as I enjoy hot curries, he apologised and...

Well, I was staying away from home due to work and found this Indian restaurant (I do love Curries so looked out for one . Yes, the girl taking orders (I presume the owner's daughter was friendly and very helpful, and the service was quick, probably because there weren't many people in there, but that did surprise me because it was Saturday night. Upon arrival, I sat down and disappeared into the chair (no springs! moved to another seat only slightly better. Had poppadoms, tasted awful but they came out after around 30 seconds so maybe they were yesterday's? Chutney, mint yogurt etc were the worst I've had, very bland, even the onion was watery and tasteless. I wondered how good the main wou... Ver carta
