I’m from Wales and it’s alien to me how people in England eat so early on a Saturday night? In Newport and Cardiff u go out and have a few beers and go have a curry at midnight/1/2/3am!? Lol x So I came to see a dear friend who lives in Dorset and we had a few beers and he didn’t realise it was 10 o clock? PM!!!! I didn’t see what the panic was until he said, “the restaurants will stop serving by now?” Saturday night??? 22.00??? So I said let’s find an Indian? They’re open til 4am!!! Not in England!!!!!! (Well at least posher places like Dorset He drove to Westbourne and the Westbourne tandoori caught my eye! It’s bright pink from the outside and when u enter they had really good recent musi...
Absolutely shocking service ,phoned at 5.15 placed our order,told it would be 50 mins to an hour ,fair enough being a Friday eve. After an hour and a half called asking where our order was,they said it's on its way ,ten minutes max....half an hour later at 7.15 two hours after we placed our order,I called again ..all they could say was I'll check with my colleague,then when I said Ive been waiting two hours he said that's impossible we weren't even open then ?? !!!! Bearing in mind westbourne tandoori is always open at five to take orders !! Really awful service and total disrespect for our custom....
We had a takeaway for 4 last evening, this being our first visit here. Firstly it is very expensive and there seems no justification for this. The food was overall very disappointing. Many dishes such as veg. curry ,biriyani, and chicken balti were bland and lacking any flavour or character. The okra was probably tinned and again lacked any flavour. On this tasting I cannot understand how it won awards seemingly the competition wasn't that high. Certainly we have not found a good Indian restaurant in this area. Really can't recommend it.
Another GREAT meal and experience and Westbourne Tandoori 13/5/2022. There were 15 of us ladies to celebrate welcoming my Boss's baby. Anwar and Emz made it a special arrival for the Expecting Mum. All our curries came out at the same time and piping hot, hats off to the Chef and waiting Staff! I had the Patia and it was the best tasting and flavour some Patia I have ever had, I really enjoyed it. Though Sad I accidentally left my leftovers behind

Booked occasion one month prior to going online, got the confirmation, on arrival with eight other friends, they had no booking and was full, had events night that evening with two sittings, showed them my confirmation, but had to wait one and a half hours for second sitting, food was good, but they need to check there online booking system, would advise anyone else to back up with a phone call.
We haven't been here since pre covid and looks to be under new management. Maybe because it was a Thursday night but it was pretty dead sadly. And the food was a little bland and not particularly hot. For a start, the tikka is no longer served on a hot metal dish sizzling. Shame as it used to be great food and had a buzz about the place. Now I need to find a new tandoori
What a great Indian restaurant. I’ve been here many times and had great food over the years but this time was outstanding. The service was prompt and efficient without being rushed. The food was vibrant, fresh flavoured and plentiful. Our 12 year old loved his first tast of Samosas it and cleared his plate of the main. Thanks guys keep on going!
The best halal indian restaurant in Bournemouth, we were served by Emon, he was very patient and calm during the order despite our indecisiveness. He remained professional throughout the ordering process. The food portions were great, the vegitable curry was amazing and spicy at our request. Sultana and friends from London

The curry itself was good, nothing special but certainly tasty. It was however extraordinarily expensive and the waiter was indifferent to the point of being rude. Everyone has an off night and the food was, as I say, good.
Amazing service and great quality food. We are regular visitors and this restaurant never disappoints.
