"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 said he didn't have Naga but would prepare me a very hot Vindaloo made with chillies I had on the last occasion; fish eye sometimes called Birds Eye chillies. I ordered a couple of pappadoms and received an additional complimentary one. My meal was then; curry, boiled rice and a plain Naan, the choice Mr Ahmed said was the best way to enjoy the meal as other rices have spices in which do not enhance the flavour of the sauce. As the Restaurant was quiet, although my meal took a little while, it was freshly made and absolutely spot on and thoroughly enjoyable. The total price, with drinks, was very reasonable and a complimentary cherry brandy was offered. Mr Ahmed came out from the kitchen as I was leaving and had a chat as he wanted to check that I was happy with my meal, I assured that I was , and thanked him again for the personal service. I have agreed with friends that the next time I am in Bournemouth we will go to the Bournemouth Tandoori."
