My wife and I stayed in Sandown for a few nights away and honestly suprised at how many venues/restaurants have closed. I am aware that we are out of season but we were struggling to find somewhere to have dinner. We came across Cardamom Indian restaurant and thought we would give it a go. I ordered the Himalayan lamb shank with chickpeas and rice and my wife a chicken tikka masala plus some sides. Quite simply delicious, fresh and clearly passionate food. Our waiter Anis made us feel welcome and was very attentive. If you're in Sandown and like Indian cuisine look no further....highly recommend.

We have been going to this restaurant regularly for the past few months and have never had a bad meal, experience and the atmosphere is always good. The waiters are always very helpful and go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. A big shout out to palish (hope I spelt it right) who is always super helpful.

Excellent Shaslick piping hot... mains too with side dishes and naan bread made this the best Indian we've had in a long time especially away from home... Well done the staff and kitchen staff... Polite, clean and friendly place... 4 for atmosphere as it was a Monday and based on that it was quiet....

Been coming here regularly over the past year for the amazing food and friendly staff. Unfortunately witnessed a sad scene in which the bad reviews have been left wrongly. The staff were very patient and calm. And it seemed this family was looking for trouble! As they complained over the food portions yet ordered 3 mains for 12 people ! And cleared the plates yet still complained🤔 The staff have always been respectful and kind.and the 2 beautiful girls that work there have always been friendly on the phone and hardworking. Just like the rest of the staff. The business owner always shakes mine and my husbands hands when we leave. Always feel so very welcomed. Saddens me to see these hurtful reviews. Always wishing the staff the best ! And the food always amazing 💗

Wow! What a find. Outstanding food, both husband and I agree it was some of the best Indian food we’ve ever had. As a pescatarian I normally have 1 or no options and usually have to order vegetarian but there was lots of fish dishes on offer and I opted for the Goan Salmon- thoroughly recommend! Hubby had the Chicken Tikka Goa and he loved it. Both dishes so different to anything we’ve had before and wonderful. Will be going back next time we come here.
