Very good curry house. Busy Friday evening nearly full by 18:00 could be because of 19:30 film at the cinema opposite, but I would book. Decent menu with house specials. Many people ordering the Railway lamb. Don’t know if they had just see it on TV or knew it was good. My partner had it and enjoyed it. They seem to have won lots of awards. For me the food was very good but could have been better, but then I am quite demanding when it comes to Indian food.

We were really disappointed with our experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was extremely slow and disorganised. We ordered drinks straight away and they took over an hour to arrive, despite asking three separate times. No one came to take our food order — we had to chase staff — and our order wasn’t taken until around two hours after we were seated.
When we asked for recommendations from the menu as first-time visitors, the staff couldn’t suggest anything and didn’t seem familiar with the dishes. When the food finally arrived, they didn’t know which meal belonged to which guest and served everything with confusion.
During the meal, no one checked back to see how the food was, offer more drinks, or top up water. Our finished plates sat on the table for about an hour before being cleared, and even then no one came to offer desserts or the bill. After nearly four hours total, we ended up going to the till ourselves to pay.
Paying was also awkward — staff resisted splitting the bill by item and then tried to claim we hadn’t paid enough. They also pushed for a service charge, which we declined due to the very poor service throughout.
Overall, the food aside, the service experience was far below expectations and unfortunately we wouldn’t return.

dinner for 4, on a Saturday evening. Easy to find and warm and welcoming, the atmosphere was good and the staff were friendly and the service was very good. However food wise, it promised much, but delivered little. I asked the three others in our group to rate the food out of 10, and was given a resounding 4. The main issue was the complete lack of curry taste. Presentation was good, nice plates, dishes etc, the food though totally lacking in spice, seasoning, added flavour, more stew than curry. For example, my Madras Hot curry to accompany my biriani was basically vegetable stew. No added spice, no kick, no where near Madras taste or heat. It was a shame as it is a decent looking place, nice staff, just not Indian food. £126 for 4 adults, see below.

It was a delightful evening in the Sundorbon, the staff were all lovely, especially Beverly, who served our table. The food was super yummy, I really recommend the Tiger prawn Kolada. The kitchen will make it as spicy as you would like, so mine was flavourful and mild. I also had the Spick chicken masala Bhuna which out of all the dishes was my favourite. And for desert we shared a pistachio Kulfi. It was a smooth and perfumie ice-cream and I loved it. We tried all the nans my favourite was the coconut nan. I tried 5 mains and to be fair you couldn’t go wrong. Highly recommended this restaurant

The best Indian restaurant in Bridport.
Great menu, wonderful selection of beautifully prepared food (probably the best biriani I’ve had since visiting Bengaluru). A++ customer service from an attentive and knowledgeable team. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

A loooong wait for our food. An hour and 10 minutes from ordering. Same with all the tables around us. There were people coming in for takeaways, queuing up by our table and waiting for up to 45 minutes having already waited at home for much longer. At least two asked for refunds and left. The staff did their best but something is very wrong in their kitchens or they accepted too many online orders and the restaurant diners suffered as a consequence. The food was tasty but not spectacular for ‘authentic’ Indian. The raita and chutneys were quite weakly flavoured and very runny. We were offered free drinks as were our neighbours but we’d rather have had our food in a more timely manner.
The place was utter chaos, what with staff and waiting customers squeezing past each other around seated diners. (We were near the bar).
Not altogether the best experience. The staff held themselves together very well and remained cheerful and pleasant throughout.
Would I return? Yes, I’d give it another try in case this was a one off.
PS to the owners, get your plate warmers sorted out. Your staff were burning their hands trying to fish them out because they’re not operating correctly.

Absolutely Horrendous Experience – Ruined Our Celebration!
We ordered four biryanis and one chicken 65 from The Sundorbon yesterday, and it was the worst decision we’ve ever made. First of all, the order arrived completely leaked with yogurt everywhere, this was supposed to be my sister’s special meal for our celebration, but it turned into a total disaster.
Now let’s talk about the food itself: the biryani was an utter joke. The chicken pieces were bone-dry, the rice swimming in excessive oil, and there was zero flavour. As for the chicken 65, it was a complete mess, the batter and chicken were literally separated, making it look like it fell apart in the kitchen. When we asked for raita, we were shocked to get something disgustingly sweet, in NO region of India is raita ever sweet!
I seriously doubt if their chefs have even set foot in India. This restaurant pretends to serve Indian food, but it’s a disgrace to the cuisine. They clearly have no idea how to cook authentic Indian dishes. We are extremely disappointed and furious that our celebration was ruined by this pathetic excuse of a restaurant. Avoid at all costs!

One of the best tasting curries I’ve ever had, great flavours, well balanced and tasty with service to match, warm friendly staff and service with a smile.I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. We visit Bridport 2-3 times a year and will definitely visit every time we are staying in the area.

Ordered for collection as the previous time took over 2 hours past the delivery time to arrive and forgot 4 poppadoms which cost £1 each. We ordered for 6 people and they said it would be ready for 7:30 for collection 8:30 comes around and it’s still not ready, all the excuses were made until they turn around and told us the food wasn’t going to be ready for another hour at least. If you want a curry just go to the taj Mahal, you get your food on time, it’s cheaper and much better quality.

That it was a Monday night and we were lucky to get a table tells you everything. Great food, plenty of it while being well looked after by the team there. Doggy bags seem to be the norm
