  “I track my calories using an app that scans my photos. The chicken dish fitted my remaining allowance and had plenty of protein. The restaurant was quiet when I walked in.”

  “I visited this restaurant with my friends for dinner. The food was tasty with authentic South Indian taste. The fish curry was the best among everything that we ordered. The staff was nice and welcoming. Overall a nice experience.”

  “Been coming here over a decade. Food is always superb. Service exemplary. Such kind and accommodating people that work here. It can get busy but that’s because everyone in the area knows it’s the best Indian restaurant around! There’s a place in Shirley I went to where people were washing their feet in the sink in full view of customers! Kohinoor in Portswood on the other hand is immaculately clean, welcoming, and I’ve never had a bad meal, either eating in or take out.”

  “Been coming to Kohinoor since it opened in Portswood and before that when they were on Burgess Road. The food has been consistently good and the staff always very friendly and welcoming. It’s our number 1 curry house to go to and my family who live abroad can’t wait to visit when they’re in the country. You will not be disappointed.”

  “I’ve just arrived home after enjoying yet another exquisite meal at Koh I noor of Kerala. I have just read a ridiculous 1star review so felt obliged to write this one. I have been dining at Koh I noor and their previous restaurant on Burgess Road for 24 years. During that time the food has always been and still is absolutely superb, in my opinion the best Indian restaurant in the area. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming and the service is second to non. Because they are always busy there may occasionally be a bit of a wait for your food but the wait is always well worth it. I can’t recommend this place highly enough and if you appreciate high quality food in nice surroundings with fantastic service then pay them a visit. You will not be disappointed.”

  “Wonderful food, If you aren't good with spice the chicken tikka masala is a go to, especially for children. Walm atmosphere and accomodating servers, however food did take a while although it was well worth the wait. Great restaurant overall, I recommend booking as it was very busy.”

  “Absolute waste of money and time. I went to Kohinoor of Kerala with high expectations and left completely frustrated. The chicken pakora was a disaster — the chicken was clearly old and stale. Unacceptable for any restaurant. Before ordering malai kofta, I clearly asked if it could be made spicy. The staff confidently said yes, so I asked for super extreme spicy. What arrived was an insult. Just by looking at it, we knew the money was gone. After tasting it, it turned out to be sickeningly sweet — like a dessert curry. Who in their right mind serves naan with a dessert? This was not food, it was a joke. If you don’t know how to cook North Indian dishes, remove them from the menu instead of misleading customers with false promises. This place has no consistency, no honesty, and no quality control. I will never come back again and would strongly advise others to avoid this place.”

  “Went on Monday night at around 7pm. I’ve visited Kohinoor several times and it is easily my favourite curry house in Southampton. Restaurant was moderately busy for a weekday, but as it’s small I would recommend booking. The service was great, and the staff were attentive. I had the madras which was a perfect level of spiciness. Naans are very big and I’d recommend sharing. The bhajis are great too!!! I’d recommend this for anyone in the area, we will come back!”

  “I enjoyed a.lamb biryani ordered extra spicy with a Cobra IPA. No problems with the tasty and spicy food, although I would have appreciated more lamb. The Cobra IPA was a first. I will return and pay more for extra lamb if this option is available.”

  “Perfect meal, meat was perfectly cooked and such a range of options. Perfect servings and 10/10 staff - so hospitable and attentive. 100% best Indian restaurant in Southampton, worth the visit!”
