I know of Londoners that travel down to Selsey and stay the night in a B&B just to have a meal here. It is a well established restaurant and the owners and staff are well known in the town. I personally have know the manager for over 10 years, he is a very nice guy. The only downer about the New Magna is that there is no immediate parking, but there is a free car park just around the corner in East Street. Enjoy..... I do often!!!

The place has a really nice interior and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The last time we went there I couldn't believe how well they coped with the amount of people - we were a group of 10 and none of us had to wait at all! Try the chicken chettinad, its spicy but full of flavour. They have some excellent house white wine to cool your mouth down.

First time visiting this restaurant. I got a takeout for 4 of us and it was excellent. We had…read morelamb bhuna , chicken korma , chicken bhuna and lamb korma. Lots of meat and the sauces were exquisite. The rices and breads were also excellent. The greeting on entering the restaurant was first rate with three people there to greet and two behind the counter. Though we didnt eat in the restaurant it looked very clean and the conversations at the tables were muted by the soft surface in the room. As one of our party is in a wheelchair they commented that they were equipped for guests with disabilities as a number of their regular guests were in this category. Overall my impression of the restaurant make me want to return to enjoy their offerings.

The location is rather nice, overlooking Southsea Marina with plenty of parking nearby…read more The food was very good, with most of the dishes excellent: the chicken tikka starter for example was very tasty and the chicken was tasty and moist. The main dishes were similarly flavourful and complex. The only fly in the ointment was the service. It took ages to get our order taken despite the fact that there were three members of staff stood chatting by the bar. Later when we wanted our empty plates collecting and order some sweet nobody was around at all. When eventually one member of staff did arrive there were many tables that all wanted servicing creating unacceptable delays. Overall it should have been a 4/5 star review, but the poor service has dragged it down, but the food was so good I'm going to be generous and still give it 4*. Recommended, just don't be in a hurry.

I'm really surprised to see so few reviews for this excellent Indian restaurant. I guess one factor…read moreis it's location is rather out of the way, and unless you have been recommended it you are unlikely to find it by accident. That said a taxi to The Bombay Bay shouldn't be hugely expensive (and it's worth getting there) or you can take a short walk along the seafront, or from the nearest bus stop. The Bombay Bay has it's own website and as you can see from the menu online the prices are excellent value for the quality of the food. The pictures are representative of just how nicely the meals are presented. I was surprised by the generously sized portions and very pleased as all the dishes I have tried have been delicious. The restaurant is very clean with a nice atmosphere and well placed tables and for those who smoke, and those who want to enjoy the view and a spot of fresh air there is also a balcony which is a nice bonus.

However all currys up to this point were good quality and my wife and I were regular customers. The curry from Tuesday 4th September 2012 tasted completely different. The chicken was rubbery in taste and the day after I came down with terrible food poisoning that lasted the rest of the week. The establishment has also been less happy to deliver on recent orders stating that 'the curry will take 1-2 hours to arrive'. For these reasons I cannot recommend Shahanaz.

The meal we had on the weekend was up to their normal excellent standards. The ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant with soft lighting all round and a beautiful tropical fish tank to complete the look. The Balti House is extremely popular, especially on the weekends, so if you are thinking of going the best advice as ever is to book in advance. A call in the day is normally fine but don't be surprised if their is a lengthy wait if you turn up off the cuff.
