Padharo - Best Indian Restaurant in Southampton
Our Story
पधारो
Welcome to Padharo, Southampton's award-winning vegetarian Indian restaurant in the heart of the city centre. Our chefs cook the food they grew up eating: crisp dosas, generous chaats, slow-cooked dals and curries, all made with fresh vegetables, lentils and spices, and not a single piece of meat in the kitchen.
Padharo is the creation of Ankit and Neha, who brought cherished family recipes and the comfort of Indian vegetarian home cooking to East Street in Southampton city centre. The menu wanders from South Indian dosas to Bombay street snacks and rich North Indian sauces, with plenty of vegan dishes all the way through, so everyone at the table can eat well together.
