Cardamom

Cardamom has quietly become a firm favourite among Waterlooville's curry lovers, serving up Indian classics with a modern, confident touch. The kitchen holds a perfect Food Hygiene Rating, and regulars keep coming back for the kind of cooking that feels both familiar and freshly considered. It's the sort of place where the spices are balanced with care, and the portions are generous without being heavy.

The menu leans into traditional territory with dishes like the rich, slow-cooked lamb rogan josh and the ever-popular chicken tikka masala, but there's a lightness to the sauces that sets them apart. The chef knows how to let the ingredients speak, and the naans come out of the tandoor with just the right char. Order directly from Cardamom for a reliably satisfying curry night in Waterlooville.
