Indi’s Bournemouth | Indian Restaurant, Bar & Lounge

Located on Poole Hill in the heart of Bournemouth, Indi’s brings a fresh, social approach to Indian dining, combining vibrant flavours with a stylish restaurant, bar and lounge.

From relaxed lunches and sharing plates to dinner, cocktails and music later into the evening, Indi’s is designed as somewhere to spend time rather than simply stop for a meal.

The contemporary restaurant provides a bright and welcoming setting during the day, before the atmosphere shifts as evening arrives and the bar and music take more of the spotlight.

Sharing is a big part of the Indi's concept. The menu includes Indian tapas and street-food-inspired small plates, alongside dishes from the tandoor, seafood, meat and vegetarian choices and familiar Indian curries.

Examples from Indi's menus include chicken tikka, onion bhaji, spicy lamb shish, samosas, duck rolls, garlic mushrooms and Bombay potatoes, alongside dishes such as chargrilled salmon and sea bass. For anyone who prefers the classics, Indi's also offers a range of traditional curries.

That makes it particularly well suited to groups: order a selection for the table and try several different flavours, or stick with your own main dish.

For a quick Bournemouth lunch, Indi's runs a £10 Tapas Lunch from 12pm–2pm every day. Diners can choose two tapas dishes with rice or naan, with the restaurant promoting the lunch as freshly prepared and suitable for a quicker lunchtime visit. 

Because offers and menus can change, we'd recommend checking with Indi's before travelling specifically for a promotion.

Indi’s offers much more than dinner, with its bar and lounge bringing cocktails, wines, beers and spirits into the mix.

Music is a big part of the atmosphere too. Every Saturday, DJ Paul Fricker takes over the soundtrack, starting with chilled sunset and Balearic sounds before building into more upbeat dance music as the evening continues. 

This makes Indi’s a great spot for a full evening out in Bournemouth. Start with Indian street food and sharing plates, then move on to cocktails and stay as the music and atmosphere pick up later into the night.

Keep an eye on the Indi's calendar for live music, special events and seasonal nights.

The restaurant runs themed events alongside its regular dining and bar offering. Its programme has included collaborations with Bournemouth Brunch Club featuring Indian tapas, bottomless drinks, live entertainment and DJs, while seasonal menus are also offered around occasions such as Christmas.

Indi's can also cater for private dining, parties and celebrations.

For private events, its chefs can create a menu around the occasion and budget, with the restaurant team helping to organise the dining experience, making Indi's perfect for birthdays, family celebrations, work gatherings and other group occasions.

Indi's outside catering service covers private parties, functions, weddings and corporate events, with contemporary Indian food prepared for events away from the restaurant. Assistance is also avilable for setting up and clearing away, equipment hire, waiting and serving staff, while bar services can be arranged to complement the food.

Indi's was named Indian Restaurant of the Year 2025 by Southern England in the LUXlife Hospitality Awards.

It was the restaurant's second consecutive recognition from the awards, following Most Authentic Indian Restaurant in Southern England in 2024.

Alongside Bournemouth, Indi's also operates a restaurant and bar in Ashley Cross, Poole.
