My family and myself have been eating here for many years infact since the Kasturi opened. This is our favourite Indian restaurant. We do on occation try other restaurants, even if only to remind us just how good the Kasturi is.

The Kasturi is also a very family and child friendly restaurant, children are always welcomed and they will even prepare and recommend dishes just for them, there is even a lollipop offered at the end of the meal for them.

The staff at the Kasturi are very friendly, always polite, and helpful. The manager has even been advising us, over the past several years, on what strength of curry to give our son and has recently suggested that we increase its strength from the milder dishes to a more medium strength dish from the menu.

And what can I say about the menu and the food that is presented to us. The menu is very varied, it has all the usual dishes you would expect to find as well as a few that are only available at the Kasturi. The food is always served hot, (no pun intended), and only fresh ingredients are used, my own personal favorites from the menu are:-

Starter
poppodoms - mixed kababs - chicken pakora - or chicken tikka.

Main
Chicken Tava or Karai
Chicken Madras or Bengal
I find that vindaloo is way to hot for me
But more recently a nice chicken bhuna
I don't always have rice with my meal as some of the dishes really don't need rice particularly the bhuna, but that's my choice.

We can really say and mean! "The Kasturi is the best Indian restaurant in Southport" . We have never had a bad experience here yet. The Kasturi is always spot on, for both the quality of food and the quality service.

Very nice food! the staff very friendly!
Prices affordable!

The restaurant has a good lively atmosphere with friendly well mannered staff. The food is excellent, averagely priced at about £15-£20 per head including starter, drink and coffee. One useful facility for a town centre establishment is a reasonable car park. I can also recommend their takeaway menu.

The Restaurant has a great ambience, very friendly staff, always there to serve and have good conversation, I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice night out, The food is just what you would expect to go with the ambience, not too spicy and full flavoured, that goes for every dish I have tried there. All this for an average amount which is very affordable

The food is tasty and well priced. The staff area very polite and helpful. It has a very comfortable atmosphere. I worked there about 2.5 years ago and really enjoyed working looking after the customers,good rapport with staff and the manager is a down-to-earth guy and looks after his staff.

it is a great restaurant, it has lovely staff, tasty food and at a reasonable cost which is fantastic.

In contrast to other reviews on food quality, I thought my Chicken Rogan Josh purchased on Sat. Feb 24th was rather mediocre. The meal was rather bland and lacking in spice. (tasted mild rather than medium spice). However, I was happy enough with the service, and thought the restaurant atmosphere was pleasant enough.

A relaxed & comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, attentive and helpful willing to advise on types of dishes or arrange something specific for you with the Chef. Food is always excellent and reasonably priced. It all goes to makes an enjoyable evening! (Their takeaways are of the same high standard if you don't have time to eat in)

Excellent choice of traditional food, perfectly cooked to order. Proffessional and courteous staff and pleasant surroundings, never a disappointment.
