Nice little curry house in the centre of [[Locale Hampton|Hampton]], near the [[Hampton Station|railway station]].
In the centre of Hampton, near the railway station, is this nice little curry house. [[DrHyde]] visited as part of a group of 8 early one Sunday evening. For just under a hundred quid we all ate well, including some alcoholic drinks. It's hard to tell what the atmosphere and service is like on a normal night, because at the time we were the only customers, but it was pleasant. Service was perhaps a little obtrusive, but that's partly because we'd tucked ourselves away in a rather inaccessible corner which was hard for the staff to get to without disturbing us.

The food is very much in the "curry house" segment of the market, as opposed to the "restaurant" segment, with a very large selection of dishes most of which are simple variations on a few themes, instead of having a small selection of very distinctive dishes. This isn't a criticism, of course - at this price, I wouldn't expect what I get at places like Quilons or Mint Leaf - and what they do they do well, and there are a couple of unusual dishes, such as deep-fried cassava "chips" which were very nice indeed.

[[DrHyde]]'s verdict: Definitely
one to keep in mind if you're in the area, but not, as some of the more ridiculous online comments say, worth driving 100 miles for.
