Gandhi Indian Take-Away

Probably the worst curry I've ever had!
- Order was wrong (gave us a Madras instead of a Korma)
- Naan smeared in over-powering garlic paste
- Tikka Masala was so bland
- Garlic mushrooms covered in onions (not stated on menu)

Only positive was that the rice tasted of rice.

£25 wasted!

This isn’t actually a review it’s more of a memoir to an adventurous evening experience at the Ghandi Indian take away, buckle up because this was a night to remember…

It was a blissfully quiet Monday the sun was peaking out amongst the clouds casting shadows along the pavement. The evening rush was just finishing and most had returned home after a long day at the office.

I had just clocked of from work and called a friend (Jon) to organise an activity for the evening. Jon was training for an upcoming cycle tour to Lisbon, Portugal. We agreed that the conditions were perfect for a cycle and got to it!

Starting from Titchfield we grafted up ports down hill, wind was on the nose and I noticed the conditions changing slightly. I made a few passing comments to my intrepid companion who was more concerned with FaceTiming his brother who was already in the Pyrenees waiting for him.
We reached the summit, admired the view and then powered round the back of Creech woods and past the worlds end. At this point lightning had started to flash prompting me to ask Jon; “are we heading in the right direction?” to which he replied confidently; “yes, this is the way home” Followed by; “should we grab some food on route?”
I was exhausted but felt that my response should show the opposite so I confidently replied; “sure fancy a Chinese?” all the Chinese restaurants in range were closed, it was Monday after all!

We did a quick google search and found the Ghandi Indian take away. We dialled the number and placed an order. We were told 10-15 minutes which was perfect as we were fairly close. As we neared the take away I felt a droplet hit my forehead and Jon said loudly. “Yep, that’s rain.” This… was an understatement. As we entered the cul-de-sac the storm started to beat down on the area which was illuminated by the lighting it was quite the spectacle but luckily we were able to take refuge in Ghandi’s safe haven.

We were met by a dazzling aroma of sweet and savoury spices and a smile of a kind man behind the counter. It was as if destiny had brought us to this place.

We had ordered a chicken tikka biriani and masala with madras hot sauce, coconut pilau rice, popadoms and some accompanying sauces.

Jon and I started to wonder how we would tackle the unbelievable conditions outside whilst carrying the packaged Indian take away!

Thoughtfully Abdul invited us to seek refuge in his wonderful establishment away from the harsh conditions. He welcomed us to eat inside and got us some cutlery and plates from behind the counter.

After serving the food to us he mentioned that history was being made this night. It was the first time in 35 years that customers had eaten inside this humble take away.

While enjoying the delicious food we came across another traveler who had entered the takeaway. He seemed to be here for quite the opposite reason, the man was a storm chaser! He was documenting and tracking the cells with an application and his camera! He was fairly peculiar but fascinating and seemed to be a regular. He stopped for a photo with us captured by Abdul and then left to fetch something from his nearby house. He returned swiftly with a knife and fork… we had clearly set a trend. We are looking forward to dining in the Ghandi Indian take away in the future and want to thank the team for a lovely meal.

We did eventually make it home, slightly wet but with full bellies and great memories!

All the best, the silly cyclists!

I know a good curry when i see it and they have cinched it! And don’t get me started on their onion bhaji’s. They are light, crispy and very moreish! Highly recommended. Just really yummy! Also the staff really do care for you x Top marks! Gandhi !

I just moved to Fareham and tried Gandhi for the first time. I will be coming back for more very soon! Their food is absolutely delicious! The restaurant is very clean and it smelled so good when we came in. Very pleased to have this restaurant so close to home. Also, their menu is just incredible! Only good things to say about Gandhi.
