Reviews in Southampton

Unprofessional - Obelisk Hotel - 20 July 2010 I play in a band and we took 2 bookings at the Obelisk Hotel several months ago. When I telephoned them two weeks prior to the first event they tell us it's cancelled. Nobody from the Hotel bothered to contact me to inform me of this, saying "We couldn't find your number" despite clearly leaving my details for them upon booking. This is massively unprofessional behaviour and costs me money as I do it for a living. I could've taken bookings for both those dates and now will have to go without through no fault of mine. I wonder how they treat their hotel guests...

Clean and tidy service area good food and very good service by the staff.

Good value for money and good for the whole family.

Their food is ok but it is not quite up to my expectation. I don't mind paying more for excellent food but this is definitely not the special one. Their service could put you off as they could be quite rude and intrusive maybe that they are in the prime business location where there is a lot of passing trades. So why should they worry about repeated custom.

Kerelai food is the best Indian food we have had outside of India. Really delicious selection of dishes for our vegan, vegetarian and meat eating family! Friendly service, good price and fab food. Haven't found such authentic taste anywhere else in the uk.

Try the daily buffet (12 - 2, including Sunday). It's the best value at 7.95 around this region and the staff (especially Kamal if he's there) can't do enough for you. The a la carte menu is Keralan (southern Indian) and quite different from your run-of -the-mill Indian restaurant. Try also the sister restaurant in Burgess Road Southampton, 2 mins from Southampton University main campus - mosala dosa, an exquisite rice pancake with gorgeous veg filling (suitable for veggies and probably vegans too).

My favourite restaurant of all time! Being Vegan, choice is usually extremely limited if I attempt to eat out. I love the Kairali menu, with 'non-vegetarian dishes' taking second place in the menu to 'Vegetarian dishes'! And about half the menu is available for me to choose from. The food is delicious and very good value for money. I have introduced many friends (even the omnivorous ones) to the delights of Kairali and everyone loves the food.

A welcoming atmosphere, good food and congenial staff makes this a favorite place to come, whether for evening meals, or lunch.

My wife and I (and about ten thousand other people with good taste) have been going to this restaurant for several years. This is Keralan, i.e. Indian cooking with a difference. Go just for the Mosala Dosai (rice pancake with veg filling and coconut sauce) - the only place outside London we've found it. Many vegetarian and some vegan dishes. Friendly service too from proprietors Kamal or Sagen and great food from Munir the chef. Go early or book in advance.

Have been here a number of times, the food is always great and service although slow when busy still ok. The choice of food is fab with large portions and delicious! would recommend..only minus is the height criteria for children, they are charged adult prices if over 4'7 which I think is unfair!

have only been here once but not as nice as pilgrim house or various others I could mention, pricier for less.....

excellent restaurant good food and excellent service

Be warned - reformed chicken is used in most of the dishes. very overpriced and poor service!

I would recommend Christina's to everyone,Friendly staff, and the food was delicious with very large portions and excellent value for money. my son said he can't wait to go back.

absolutely fantastic food .good value for money

Fantastic food, great prices and a very quick service. Lamb shish and kofte kebab, as well as their half pound messy burger, THOROUGHLY recommended. I LOVE 'EM!! Just go there and I promise you won't be disappointed.

We always come her for great value tex mex, they have generous portions and the garlick bread is fantastic. The bright Americana decor lends itself to a great atmosphere.

After late night Christmas shopping and feeling very hungry we came across Panda Chinese Restaurant, 20-21 Bedford Place, Southampton. Very disappointing meal!! My wife ordered 'crispy chow mein' which was a mixed meat dish. The crispy noodles were the only 'slightly edible' part! Meat was poor quality and in a tasteless jelly like sauce. I ordered a chicken with cashews dish which actually had the same sauce as my wifes! My wife told the waitress/manager that she couldn't eat it and would appreciate it being taken off my bill. She refused, even after I stated our rights as the customer! £30 down later and still with an empty stomach, we left..........unhappy customers, wouldn't return or recommend it!!!!
