Ali's Brasserie is a long-running Indian restaurant on Wimborne Road, on the northern approach into Bournemouth towards Moordown. It's the kind of neighbourhood curry house locals return to again and again, tandoori and balti specialities, a full dine-in menu, and a takeaway counter for anyone who'd rather eat at home.
The food
The menu centres on classic tandoori and balti cooking, meat and vegetable dishes cooked in traditional clay-oven and karahi styles, served alongside the wider range of curries, rice and breads you'd expect from a proper British-Indian restaurant. It's built for regulars: hearty, reliably spiced, and priced for a casual night out rather than a special occasion.
Good to know
Ali's Brasserie is open for lunch (12:00–14:00) and dinner (from 5:30pm until midnight) Wednesday through Monday, plus bank holidays, it's closed on Tuesdays. Monday nights bring a banquet offer: four courses from £11.95, with half-price non-wine drinks early in the evening. Beyond eating in, the restaurant offers free home delivery within a three-mile radius on orders over £15, plus standard takeaway collection, and tables can be booked directly by phone.
