Mama Lou's Smokehouse & Grill
Osborne Rd, Farnborough GU14 7AS, UK | Takeout Restaurant P: Not available
Rating: 5 (29) Price Level:
Well, that was ridiculous. I haven't had a meal that good in years and as a takeaway never. we had the pit box platter and all of it was great (honorable mentions to the pork, link and chip seasoning) but the brisket is just incredible. I spent years eating bbq in America and Canada and theirs is just right up there. I could eat that breakfast, lunch and dinner. The effort that goes into meat that good and it needs to be appreciated. portion size is generous and the quality is outstanding. can't praise enough they will see us again

Thank you for the amazing food. Fantastic taste, great presentation, very convenient order and efficient pick up process. I can definitely recommend Mama Lou’s and I will come back for sure. Also, the price to portion ratio is unmatched 😄🥩👌

Louise and her family went above and beyond our expectations with their friendly service and delicious food! It's almost impossible to name a favourite item in the meat platter but the portions, selection and variety is perfect and the portions are so generous, that everything we could want was included! Mama Lou's provided the catering for my wife and I's wedding party and all our guests were raving about the food and were asking for more! Louise gave us a plethora of options to choose from over the phone and helped us with recommendations, listened and delivered everything we requested. Our food was delivered on time, still hot, beautiful presented in trays and clearly labelled. Louise explained what everything was and the order delivered was spot on. I couldn't recommend Mama Lou's more highly!!

Went for a collection on 12h30, littéral homemade food as we pick our order straight at mama Lou’s house. Went for a 1 person pit box platter + a cheesecake for dessert. The portion are extremely generous. The dripping/meat juice is 🤌🤌 it has just a little kick to it, perfect balance of heat and savouriness, and then hint of fresh cilantro. All the meat were excellent but particularly loved the pulled pork and the pork belly 🤤 Pickles were a nice addition. Not very acid/tangy, more on salty side. Act as palate cleanser. Never had picked cabbage and it was very good. The garlic mayo is also very nice. Only downside was the cheesecake was put sideways in the box. Maybe had to do with the box dimension, but it does not change anything on the taste : rich salted caramel sauce, thick creamy cheese filling and thin biscuit base. Definitely will need to come back to taste the rest of the menu items.

What can I say, we had the ultimate pit box platter, absolutely outstanding! The slow cooked/smoked meats just melt and the range of included side dishes and little flourishes (scattered blueberries, pineapple and pomegranate seeds!) Cut through the meat perfectly. It's so special, we will be back... Oh and the portions are extremely generous! :)

Tastebuds Caribbean Cuisine
98 Grosvenor Rd, Aldershot GU11 3EA, UK | Restaurant P: 01252 336561
Rating: 4.8 (521) Price Level:
This is a no-frills, cafe-like setup. Their food is outstanding, portions are substantial, and you get a balanced meal. Owners are friendly and obliging but look to be understaffed. However, the queues are typically long close to meal times, so be prepared to wait. They run out of certain dishes, which unfortunately leaves customers disappointed. Overall, Tastebuds is a gem and one to come back to (if you can take the disappointment of your favourite dishes selling out!).

Had lunch here today, first Jamaican cuisine we've had in years, delicious. Food was fresh, flavoursome and great portion size. Great service friendly and nice atmosphere 👌🏾 👍 🫶🏾🙌🏽 looking forward to our next visit.

This is the best place for me to eat in the local area been coming here well over 10 years and seen it grow and grow. Real soul food with a great variety. Kelly n Dave are so welcoming the place has a real community feel to it. Garlic prawns, jerk pork n the coleslaw are my favourites they are out of this world. But same with everything can’t fault a thing.
Rating: 5 / 5
The food is absolutely amazing. It's been a couple of years since I've been here and it's somehow only got better. You may have to wait a few minutes as it can get busy but it is well worth the wait. Fantastic, friendly service and you can taste how fresh the food is. The curried goat is tender as anything and just falls apart as you eat it. Good portion sizes, it's amazing value for money. I don't know why I ever stopped coming here!
Rating: 5 / 5
First time ordering here after a good friends recommendation! I love Caribbean food and have eaten at lots of Jamaican restaurants over the years. Kelly was lovely and let me sample some of her curried goat! I have to say I don’t think I’ve ever tasted food like it!! Really tangy punchy jerk chicken and a big portion for the money! I’m coming back Saturday to order half the menu!! Loved it!!

Momo mandap

Rating: 5 (43) Price Level:
Momo Mandap is an absolute gem for authentic Nepalese food! The starters were incredible—so flavourful and perfectly prepared. They’re happy to adjust the spice levels to suit your preference, which makes it even better. The thali is spot on—an amazing combination of flavours, beautifully presented, and so satisfying. You can truly taste the heart and effort they put into every dish. The customer service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and really made us feel welcome. It’s rare to find a place where the food and service are equally exceptional. 10/10 food, highly recommend to anyone who loves great food with a personal touch!
Rating: 5 / 5
Momo mandap is a remarkable dining destination that seamlessly blends innovation with tradition. From the moment you step inside, the warm, inviting atmosphere envelops you, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The menu is a testament to culinary creativity, featuring dishes crafted with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Service was impeccable; our server was knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. While prices reflect the high quality, every bite justifies the expense. The momo mandap is a must-visit for food lovers seeking a unique and memorable dining experience.

Wonderful food and lovely staff.
Rating: 5 / 5
I would categorize it as one of my top choices for a dining establishment in Aldershot. When it comes to my preferred dishes, it's likely that my preference lies in mo:mo, Chicken chowmein and Fried chicken. My appreciation for the ambiance and staff is substantial. This is one of my favorite Nepalese restaurants.

Friendly staff and great addition to Aldershot. Food was tasty and good value. Overall great experience; I would go again and recommend to others.
Rating: 5 / 5
5 🌟 all the way!!! In the middle of a Nepali town Aldershot, one would have expected a nepali only dishes. Well, Laafa has a surprise for you. While you can enjoy traditional nepali momo and my favourite चटपटे (चटपटे = mix of local nepali snacks), the place will surprise you with korean korean 🇰🇷 authentic dishes as well. It's bimbaap and kimbaaps are out of the world. Fancy korean ✨️ 🇰🇷 bbq? It has a separate table for you and your family size fitting upto 30 people! How do I know? I tried it! The best part of this upcoming thriving resturant is that it had zero microwave policy = 🚫〰️🌊 [🤪😋] The owner themselves are the Sheffs. A family run business right at the beginning of the COVID time, they endured a LOT. Happy to see Laafa as some of the few survivors of of the pandemic wave! If you have time, talk to the owner about their survival story - very inspring. Something we can all learn from!! I would have beanded Laafa as a "Never give up your dreams" humble beginning family run 🇳🇵 korean🇰🇷🥘🍲🍛🫒 resturant! Ps: if you tell the owner that you read this review by African nomad traveller, you will get a discount! Trust me!!

A delightful solo visit to! Despite the family-friendly vibe, the staff was attentive and accommodating. The Aloo Paratha, Vegetable Fried Momos, and Puri Tarkari were all bursting with flavor - a true vegetarian feast. Highly recommend!
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely loved this place, very much worth the long drive from London. The food was packed with flavours, every dish we had was fresh and delicious. This seemed like a family run restaurant, the staff were really sweet and the ambience felt very authentic. Highly recommend the Jhol Momos and Chowmein! And there’s plenty on-street parking nearby.
Rating: 4 / 5
Aldershot has many Nepalese restaurant, I decided to try Gagan chulo. Even on a weekday evening they were pretty busy and all tables occupied. I tried mutton bhutuwa, jhol pork momo , fried mutton momo, pork fried rice, chicken chow mein. Well it was definitely lots of food for two people and momo were pretty big and huge quantity. We had medium spicy , you can make it less spicy. I really enjoyed the fried rice and chowmein- more like street food style. Reasonably priced and would definitely want to come back to try other dishes.
Rating: 4 / 5
Lovely Nepali vibe with friendly staff always with a smile on, and the food was good being served pretty quickly, only the prices are a little higher than I saw in the previous reviews. You can park off the streets or at the Aldershot train station parking lot.

Will definitely go back just for the laphing 🥹 (Apologies for the wrong review earlier)

The Admiral

Rating: 4.5 (360) Price Level:
Although slow service with just the landlord serving and food taking 20 minutes it was worth it as really fresh and well cooked food. We had Gammon, Burger and Halloumi fries. Good beer in the correct glasses also appreciated
Rating: 5 / 5
The Admiral is a quaint little pub! Was nice and quiet with lots of places to sit. Nice and clean pub. Staff at the bar were very friendly too. Ample car parking spaces however this is a Thursday lunch time. A little expensive in comparison to other pubs in the area £36.88 for two burgers a larger top and a tomato juice, still not bank breaking but I think a lunch menu works good was really nice! We had the ranch Reaper burger and the signature desperados nacho burger. 10/10 got to day! Overall a great experience-I bet it is lovely on a sunny day to sit out in the garden. Strong recommendation 🙏

I'm a musician passing through Ash Vale and stopped for a bite to eat. I was met with a welcome smile from a young lady behind the bar. I asked if they were still doing food as time was getting on then told they were. I ordered scampi & chips and a coke and cost me £17. I grabbed my coke and got myself seated. Within 5 minutes my food came it was lovely and hot and the taste was even better. I would happily pay £25 for what I had so all I can say if you are passing this way pop in and grab your your self a meal for a great price. There was also great banter from the people in the bar. Over all it was a lovely clean pub with very well kept toilets run by good people. Compliments also to the chef. What ever your doing guys your doing it right.

Wow. What a difference in a year since our last visit which was horrible. The new owner Don, since September 2024, has made this pub very warm and welcoming. It's a lovely atmosphere and we will definitely be back. (Tomorrow).. We've not tried any food yet but will do in the near future.

Rating: 4.6 (390) Price Level:
Fantastic little restaurant. We went for the all you can eat for £15. Very good value for money and would recommend to anyone else. Yes the place may need a lick of paint but it's clean and lovely food.
Rating: 4 / 5
It was OK. But, sadly, dishes were a bit bland. We chose king prawns with cashews and chicken with mushrooms but both came with the same sauces. I really wish there was more taste in both of the dishes.. however, the portions are big enough so you will not leave hungry. But we were disappointed with the lack of taste... decor could use the refreshment. Especially toilets.. rust on the radiators and dust on the air vent, which is taped to a bigger vent, are really not what I expected in the place where food is served..
Rating: 5 / 5
Were recommended this little restaurant and visited with a few friends for the “eat as much” menu. Really enjoyed the food and options on offer. Dishes are cooked when ordered which is great, portion sizes were perfect and gave us an opportunity to try different things. Would definately book if visiting as gets busy and not a big restaurant.
Rating: 5 / 5
Very good selection of Chinese dishes. All served freshly made and tasty. In my eyes fairly priced. The only downside is the lack of room inside. The tables are too close to each other and very uncomfortable.

OM RESTAURANT
18-20 Station Rd, Aldershot GU11 1HT, UK | Restaurant P: 01252 350785
Rating: 4.5 (86) Price Level:
Great little eatery in Aldershot off the main parade of shops. I had the Mutton curry prepared mild without excessive chillies with paratha, superbly cooked, tender and flavourful. Something else which I tried was the Veg Thukpa a noodle soup which was tasty, wholesome and which was also excellent. Service was quick and very friendly staff who efficiently explained the offering and took order. It's not the ritz so expect a basic clean environment which can get noisy with the TV showing Nepalese popular music and dance shows. Toilet was clean and there is a place around the back to wash your hands, so definitely use your fingers to experience an authentic Nepalese meal. Would definitely be going back to try the Momo's as well as some of the other dishes.

Great service, staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Amazing atmosphere and delicious foods. One of my favourite was nepali authentic koda (millet) ko dhido thali. I highly recommend Om restaurant.

Rating: 4.7 (262) Price Level:
We had a great dining experience here! The staff were friendly, and the service was impressively quick. The restaurant had a pleasant ambiance with plenty of seating, making it comfortable and spacious. Most of the dishes, like the buff choila, buff momo, Jhol momo, chicken chow mein, chatamari, and bara, had an authentic taste that really stood out. The chicken chili was alright, though it didn’t quite match the standout flavors of the other dishes. I felt like I was in a restaurant back in nepal. The host was also very accommodating, making the visit even more enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying meal with authentic flavours. Also there was no service charge included in the bill... Will visit again and highly recommend..

Rating: 5 / 5
I had recently visited this lovely place with some friends during weekday. No bookings were required for our booking as it was weekeday. Booking recommended. Positive: Food was very nicely portioned and was very delicious. The buff jhol momo is by far the best i have tasted so far in UK. Staff: Everyone were very professional. The owner gave some of her time and had a chat with us which was very welcoming. Atmosphere. The interior design of the place made me feel i was not in uk. The utensils and plates were unique. The wooden design inside gave a different touch. Car parking. There is very limited street car parking at front but there is few car park nearby. Constructive criticism. The Tables are slightly smaller for food if ordered more. Summary A lovely newari cuisine oriented restaurant with a different experience. I wish the team to maintain their consistency in quality and aim for the quality not the quantity.

Vintuna is an absolute gem in Aldershot! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality that makes you feel like family. The service here is impeccable—attentive, friendly, and always with a genuine smile. But the real star is the food. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic Nepali flavors, cooked to perfection. The momos were hands down the best I’ve ever had—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The rich and hearty mutton bhutan, pork & chicken sekuwa made us feel like we were experiencing a true taste of Nepal. The restaurant’s atmosphere is very inviting. It’s clear that the team at Vintuna puts their heart into every detail, from the presentation of the dishes to the overall experience. I can’t recommend this place enough! If you’re in Aldershot and craving delicious food with outstanding service, Vintuna is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back soon!
