Very spontaneous visit to a restaurant we’d heard good things about but never been to. Arrived at opening time and were immediately accommodated. Probably the best curry I’ve ever had... read more in my life (and Jesus Christ I’ve had some curries). I had a chicken vindaloo, the chicken was cooked perfectly and very tender, the sauce had the perfect balance of spice and flavour, the potatoes were also cooked perfectly. My girlfriend had a butter chicken curry which she absolutely loved too, and she doesn’t really rate curries. The well-done garlic naan we had was unbelievable. I’ve repeated the word “perfect” a few times, so to sum up our experience at this restaurant in one word, that would be it - perfect.
We will 100% be back.
Thanks for a fantastic meal!

My family and I have been coming to the Kohinoor for years now. Every time we have never had a bad experience. The service is friendly and sincere, the food... read more is at a level I've never experienced at any other curry house and the atmosphere is jolly with plenty of laughs.
If you're looking for somewhere to get a takeout or go for your next meal out. The Kohinoor of Kerala will not disappoint, and you may just find your new regular.

Kohinoor is Southamptons best kept secret. It’s absolutely excellent. The food is some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had, and being a chef I’m extremely fussy where... read more we eat when going out. The food is comparable to Veeraswamy or Dahjeeling in my option...and it’s right here on Portswood High Street in Southampton. A bit of fun are the dishes named after some of the regulars - I can recommend the Jason Bread and Ben Pakoda! The Dosa is also a bit of a show stopper. Everything is perfectly spiced and balanced, best of all - cooked fresh. Equally as good as the food is the warm welcome and service from the wonderful staff. It’s well worth the trip I’m going to keep going until they name something after me. Maybe the Paul’s Phal? I’ll suggest it next time I’m there, as the Vindaloo could be a bit hotter how does that sound guys? 🙂 More
