Belfoi in Carmarthenshire

Absolutely awful food, won't be going again dissatisfied with the customer surface offered us another meal even though the first one was terrible

Came down from London to visit my son & his wife who live locally. They had passed this restaurant before & thought it looked crowded. Not surprising as the 4 of us visited tonight ( Monday!) and the food, the service & the price were all amazing. Would have given it 6 stars if I could have😢

Lovely decorated and spacious restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Service was very good and food came out quick enough considering it was busy in the restaurant. The starters weren't particularly great and slightly overpriced. I had the duck tikka which was dry, fatty and lacked flavour. My husband wasn't overly impressed with his kebab platter either. The main courses were absolutely delicious and chicken was cooked beautifully. We thoroughly enjoyed our curries and my rice was also tasty. However, the chips were hard and undercooked. If it weren't for how good the curries were I would've rated lower as not all the food was to our satisfaction. Overall, I'd say 3 and half stars. We will come back again but will skip the starters next time.

Normally I would give a 5 star for atmosphere, but last Friday evening I was upset by the way the management spoke to one of the staff. The waiters are extremely polite and hard working and do not deserve to be spoken down to, it upset my evening. Other than this incident, it is a lovely place to eat.

Tried a few times. All really good food and service.

Everything a top notch Indian buffet should be - a wonderful addition to Caerfyrddin night life

Very conveniently placed near to Vue cinema. We popped in for a quick meal and discovered the buffet, which was a pleasant surprise. However the waiter didn't explain how it worked and there was no instruction on the tables. We worked it out in the end but wouldn't have asked them to provide the chips had we known. I was very pleased to see a proper wheelchair accessible restaurant in Carmarthen.

Wow what can I say absolutely amazing food very tasty very friendly best biryani I've ever tasted husain and the team are outstanding will defo be back great value for money well done all

Must admit I saw a few reviews and I was nervous to go BUT ignore them. We didn’t do buffet but had the main menu and was very impressed. I had no idea how big it was inside, which was great as there was loads of large groups having their parties. A great spirit in there and given Xmas crackers too. Staff were great, attentive and friendly not a complaint. Even staff not serving us spoke to us and were smiley and polite. They have customer service down to a T. Food was great no complaints I think the persons and pickles were complementary, which is a nice touch. Will be back as soon as I can. Good value

The staff where lovely, helpful and friendly, it's just a shame the same can't be said for the food which was abysmal ☹️ went here for my husbands birthday whilst on holiday, the buffet choices where embarrassing if I'm honest, few poppadoms, "red" mango chutney that tasted of well I don't know? Dried up chips, the rice wasn't too bad, these round cornflour fry things that almost broke my tooth! Black burned onion bajis, shameful excuse for salad, not a tomato in sight! Nan bread that could sole a joggers trainer! As for the curries? I live in Yorkshire and have Asian/Indian/Pakistani friends that wouldn't even serve those curries up to my dog, they where disgraceful! Watered down, no richness, aroma or spice, the "chicken wings" tasted like they'd been cooked in heinz bbq sauce or something, if I had have rustled up what was being served there tonight I'd have been to ashamed to have served it up to guests, so how they can justify £14.95 for it I don't know! Oh and note to management an all you can eat "buffet" means A: the food must be enjoyable or at least edible first, and is also supposed to include starters, main and somesort of dessert, I mean I saw chocolate sauces etc out ready, and we had a spoon, but when I asked where the desserts where I was told they're not included 🤔 and was handed a dessert menu which btw was extortionate! I feel absolutely ripped off I barely ate anything, drowned my sorrows with prosecco and came out hungry! And even burping I'm getting nothing repeating on me not even a hint of garlic! Wtf are the sauces from jars? Although my bottom is telling a different story, think the chicken may have a lot to answer for! How this place has the reviews it has i'll never know, the family behind me where just as disappointed too! Suggestion - get yourself over to Yorkshire or Birmingham, and learn Asian Cuisine! Go eat at Nawabs Bradford, Birmingham or Manchester, was a favourite or princess Diana, or Akbars! To learn a lesson in real flavours!

Just had all you can eat lunch here, we have to say that everything was hot. There is a good choice to suit everyone's taste. The staff are polite and friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Had a takeaway tonight and to say the experience was different to last time would be an understatement. We ordered on the phone and was initially told our order was £31, after questioning this it was then recalculated to £19. (We have the same food every time so know the price was wrong). We waited about 30 minutes for delivery, which was expected, when the person gave us our food he told us it was £23, again we questioned the cost but just paid the bill as we were hungry. The food itself wasn’t great, the chicken tikka only contained about 5 pieces of chicken and the second dish had 6 pieces. The raita was watery and the whole meal was completely tasteless. Will not be buying from here again for a while as I’m still hungry as the food wasn’t tasty enough to finish. Would I recommend this place? Probably not, but we have eaten there before and the food was lovely and piping hot, maybe they were having a bad day.

Without doubt the best Indian Restaurant in Carmarthen. 😋😋😋

Visited this evening with my 3 children and partner. Food and service was exceptional! Thank you very much we will definitely be back :)

We held our friends babyshower here on Saturday 11th November and it is honestly one of the most hospitable and friendliest restaurant iv been too. They honestly couldn't do enough for us . Wonderful staff and the food I absolutely amazing ! Thankyou sooo much guys , your doing amazing . 👏

Attended Belfoi in Carmarthen for my baby shower at the weekend. We booked for a large table on a Saturday lunch time and this was no problem. Communication from the moment of booking to the day was efficient and on the day, the staff were absolutely wonderful! The staff helped my friends to decorate the restaurant, they really couldn’t do enough for us! Very attentive and the food was beautiful! They done everything they could to make it a special event and everyone had a lovely day, enjoyed the food and have decided it’s our go to place for any special events! Thank you so much to all at Belfoi☺️

Amazing customer service and delicious food! 🤩

Sunday lunch for a family of 6, disappointing that having called the day before there wasn't a table set up ready for us. We all had the buffet, which I enjoyed, but have had better. Was pleased to see refills coming from the kitchen in what appeared to be the saucepan they'd been cooked in, not a plastic bowl from the microwave like I've seen in some places. Options for starters were cheap with some being not very Indian in nature (breaded chicken strip for example), some of the onion bhajis weren't cooked through with stodgy centres. The chutney for the poppadoms was just a cheap sauce. Some of the curries were delicious, Lamb Methi and Chicken Saag Special being the best. The chicken tikka massala was very red with watery sauce. Good selection of sauces, including Nando's Sauce and chocolate sauce, but no desert included with the buffet. Restaurant, including toilets, were clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Takeaway ordered. Lamb rogan Josh, veg pathia, mushroom rice and chips. Both curries had no spice. Tub of tinned tomatoes best way to explain. Chips rock hard and maybe 3 slices of mushroom in rice. Awful food.

A few years ago this was the Sheesh Mahal a nice old fashioned Indian restaurant. Then it closed and was empty for a while. Then it was taken over by people who had no idea about how to do things. Now it is Belfoi (Belfoi means olive). And it's great! Lots of nice comfortable space. Staff are helpful and pleasant, and very importantly, the food is good! Prices are about right (draught beer is comparable to some local pubs!). An enormous menu, probably too big, it would take an age to read it all and the number of choices make it difficult to actually choose. However, whenever I visit somewhere new I always ask for the same dish. I'm a bit of a Chicken Tikka Rogan nut! The version at Belfoi was great, moist flavoursome chicken, good fresh tomatoes, not too hot or spicy, I'd use more garlic but that's me being very picky. Overall a bit hit with me! A very welcome addition to eating out in Carmarthen. I'll be back, definitely.

Went here last night for a meal with friends, we were not dissapointed, great food and service we will definitely be back in the future

Fantastic place for food, staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful highly recommend this place

Honest review….This place is amazing , The food is outstanding , The service is incomparable to anywhere else.

This was the first time for myself and wife to go to the Belfoi, I can assure it will not be the last, the food was well prepared very tasty and excellent presentation , service was exceptional with all tending to our needs being very polite and helpful. One of the best chicken chat I have ever tasted, the chicken tikka was moist well cooked and full of flavour, madras was hot spicy but didn't give an afterburner taste as others I've tasted, in all it was a lovely meal and a very pleasant experience.

Best indaian in Carmarthen lovely food definitely recommended 👌

This was our first visit to the Belfoi and it really didn't disappoint. The service was fantastic with all staff being very happy and helpful. The entire meal was excellent with my starter of Chicken Chaat Puri standing out, particularly the Puri, being the best I've ever tasted. I would advise booking as they were very busy on this particular Friday evening. Well done Belfoi, we will be back!

One of the best curries I have ever had, and I regard myself as a curry connoisseur!!! The staff are so friendly and kind. We have had two takeaways now, and each time our daughter has been given a lollipop which she loves. We are also vegetarians and there are no problems in accommodating us by making any of the dishes vegetarian (even though there are a wide range of vegetarian options on the menu). I am also a hot head, so my veg phall was awesome, a proper phall hot dish!! They even made a garlic chillie massalla as a veg dish, and raising the heat to vindaloo hot, which again was spot on. Awesome food, happy to tailor things, and very friendly, genuine service. Despite living near Llandeilo we'll try as much as possible to buy our curries from here again. Diolch yn fawr pawb.

Had the buffer but went in just before they fininsh. Food with sauce was great, tho the dry food had dried out to much. But over all would recommend but going in early than later. Staff was great 👍

Well, can I find fault, NO, the welcome, service and food were all top class, delicious, highly recommend, fabulous menu options, I enjoyed the Tabac Patila, can't wait to eat here again

Just had a takeaway delivered to my door from here and I have to say it was the best indian meal I've had for years! These guys know how to make top class indian food. Thank you.

Easily the best Indian I've ever been to. Great variety and quality of food. Staff are really helpful and happy

The food needed to be hotter, disappointed as sauces quite watery. Won't be returning.

Delicious food, many choices and very reasonably priced. Extremely welcoming, friendly and attentive staff. Had a great evening out here. Thank you
