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 :)
Food was amazing. Best Indian me and my partner have ever had! Would recommended to everyone and anyone! Service was brilliant too. Definitely would visit again!
Very late in service, the wait time is too long sound 50 mins, felt like left alone even when the restaurant is not full. Food is ok, but could have been better.
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.
Had a group meal here party of 7. Service and food was excellent even though it was very busy we didn’t have to wait for meal to arrive. It was so good I am going again now I am back in Bournemouth
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.
Good time spent and Indian cuisine. It was well worth it.
Lovely food before going to watch Gregory Porter at the BIC, will be returning soon. Must visit if your staying in Bournemouth, lovely staff to
We are regulars there. Food is excellent. Food was a bit delayed this time but probably we were early. Does change our opinion though. Thank you very much.
We were part of a group of 8 people, the service was great no one had to wait long for their food to arrive. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. We had a great night at the Indian Ocean.
We ate here last week and loved it. The food was excellent, the service was fantastic and the restaurant was clean and vibrant, lovely toilets, a brilliant experience and a and only 3 minutes walk from our hotel. Would totally recommend a visit to this place if you are in Bournemouth.
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.
Wonderful menu choice and meal, surroundings and first class service. Would recommend without any hesitation. Many thanks and will return in the future. Thank you !
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.
Very good, tasty food (I would recommend the masala dishes), excellent staff we did not feel rushed throughout the meal. The restaurant is perfectly located. When in the area we will return.
We have eaten here many times and food is always good , staff are friendly .lovel atmosphere .would recommend to people .will be returning next time we visit Bournemouth
Very good food and friendly staff will deffo come again when im next in bournmouth wasnt far to walk from our hotel just down the road so was perfect
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal from the starters to the main course. Delicious food & reasonably priced. Good choice of food & drink on menu. Will return again
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.
Excellent food as always, great service and nice ambiance . The whole evening was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in our party, we will definitely be returning soon!!
One of the best Indian cuisines we have tried. We go there regularly. Excellent food, wide range of selection, good place & polite staff. Will continue going there.
Good location if you are going to the BIC. 2 min walk.Great food and service. Will go back again next time we are in Bournemouth.
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?
Had a fabulous meal great service and a fantastic night in the indian ocean restaurant top marks to all the staff and a big thank you from me 😀😀
Food was fantastic. Customer service however wasn't No smiles from the staff, no one asked if the meal was Ok. The server need to learn how to treat customers. Wouldn't go back because of this.
Service was a bit slow. All the food had too much sugar. The staff were very friendly and accommodating though. Unfortunately, I would not go back again.
Fast and friendly service combined with good food. We had a voucher from a local tourist map that gave 20 percent off and a glass of wine which made a good value meal fantastic value!
Excellent food and good value for money. Just the opening hours not suitable for the weekend. Have visited twice and will definitely visit again. Thanks
The food was excellent and seemed very authentic. Waiters had a good level of customer care and service was very quick although the surroundings were showing some wear and tear.
Lovely food and accommodated a smaller curry for my 9yr old daughter. service was excellent and were quick at topping up our poppadoms and chutney.
Lovely food and great service , worth going to Indian Ocean staff very friendly . We alll had a lovely time , place is clean and tidy .
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.
Very nice food but the restaurant could do with a redec, but apart from that food and staff was excellent,,,lovely and friendly people,, I would definitely go back for a meal there again,,
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!
good service good curry but chose the wrong one, will go again . Parking a real problem very lucky to get a place near restaurant
Good basic Indian. Friendly, no frills. The service did seem to take a long time, that might be because it was Saturday night. Enjoyed the evening. Thanks
Had a fantastic meal food was absolutely lovely great service overall experience made us very happy service was great just what you want on a night out
Lovely meal & company. Very nice & quite in there. Chicken tikka was beautiful & so was the bombay potato. Very enjoyable evening all round at the Indian ocean.
Fantastic food and service, friendly and attentive staff. A lovely light modern restaurant in a good location close to beaches shops and hotels, will definitely be returning shortly.
Overall very good, booked at last minute and definitely not disappointed. Staff lovely and food very nice Would visit again if in the area for sure
Really lovely food and staff. They were very attentive and the food was delicious. A very tasty lamb saag! Reasonable price and able to use tastecard.
