Amazing curry for a great price, I had a chicken korma and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The mango chutney here is the best I’ve tried! Great quiet place to spend an evening :)

Second visit, as good as the first. Food was excellent again and the price is quite reasonable. Not as busy as first visit so was a little quieter this was not a bad thing. Booked online and was greeted at the door.

Run down, dirty, maintenance works taking place on a Thursday evening - loud banging. Restaurant was cold and Diet Coke was flat. Raised all this with both the waiters and they didn't care. No complimentary drink afterwards no offer for discount - absolute terrible service. Had a wonderful day in Bournemouth but had a rubbish time at this restaurant in the evening! Do not go here. Thank goodness the chef can cook.

The food was very good and a great atmosphere as well however they were very busy which unfortunately caused a few mistakes such as forgetting to bring glasses for water, putting chilantro in our food even though we requested it without and so on. All in all a good experience and I would recommend the place.

Lovely restaurant with good food and efficient friendly staff. They even catered for my daughter who thinks a meal out is not complete without chicken nuggets. Great night out.

Restaurant was cold. It has a glass conservatory at the front and clearly can’t heat it properly in cold weather. Lamb in the Shatkora dish was quite tough. Flavours were generally good though and Kulfi for desert was excellent. Overall just average though.

We received a warm welcome, the starters and mains were cooked perfectly and were very tasty, and we were served by friendly and helpful waiters. The only minus was the choice of desserts which was so uninteresting we gave it a miss, otherwise we would have chosen one and therefore spent more.

Very nice and particularly good Vegetarian Masala cooked without potatoes on request. Only slight criticism could be that the service was a little slow although the restaurant was busy (always a good sign). Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Visited the Indian Ocean restaurant to eat before a show at the nearby BIC. Don't be put off by slightly tatty exterior as the food and service were really good. Would visit again and recommend highly.

Very good tasty food cooked perfectly, served by friendly and helpful staff. The only disappointment is the dessert; why don't they have proper Indian desserts instead of the frozen ice they always offer?

The restaurant decor is a little tired and certainly needs a link of paint and new carpet. However, the food was stunning. Best Indian I've had in a long time.

Nice food, large portions, but slow service. Different waiters kept taking our orders, but popadums and drinks took ages to eventually arrive. No atmosphere. First indian meal in Bournemouth so cannot compare with other local restaurants.

We booked a table for 5.00pm as we were going to a concert. Although only just opened for the evening everyone was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and as a result we ordered rather too much. But we were offered what we couldn't manage in a doggy bag! Fantastic - we had seconds later on!
