Borth Tandoori in Ceredigion

First time and really awesome food

We felt very welcomed and the service was excellent. Our food didn’t take long to be served and food was very delicious , and was reasonably priced making it very attractive restaurant. I would highly recommend visiting if you’re after high quality Indian food.

Not great, got the order wrong. Had 2 orders meant to be separate all mixed up. Ordered a Chicken Tikka Main which cost over £10. Understand they want to make a profit but 8 slices "not pieces" of chicken in the portion. Maybe 1 chicken breast total. Phoned and said how much chicken should there be and was told 8 pieces of chicken in that portion but this was more 8 slices.

We had passed this restaurant a few times during our stays. It’s the only Indian option without driving 20 mins. It looks a little shabby on the outside, but the inside was clean and the team were really friendly. They were flexible in making some specific variations to dishes. The takeaway took 20 mins to prepare, was well packed and good value for money for what we had. The food itself was tasty, there was variation between the sauces and the sides etc were enjoyable. Would definitely use this again for a holiday takeaway or eat in. Its unlicensed btw but sells soft drinks.

lady serving is a diamond, food and chefs good value and tastes of top quality

Always call for a curry when we're in Borth.Great food and great chef. The owner of the business is so hard working

Had a really nice evening with good food very friendly efficient service and a nice atmosphere We had two Borth specials and a mushroom balti and couldn’t fault it Our first time but will be returning Thanks

Had a takeaway from here. Was really delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it thank you very much!

Excellent meal, our curries were fresh, delicious, and very generously portioned, hot baked to order naan breads too were fanstastic. Wonderful lady serving us, couldn’t fault anything. Been here multiple times now and the restaurant was packed as usual. highly recommend and see for yourself.

You cannot go wrong here. They are really nice and friendly and I love the food. Never had a bad meal, super tasty and very good price. Highly recommended

No way does this place deserve a bad review!! A young lady on the train to Borth recommended it to us! I’ve eaten in Indian restaurants all over the world for 50 years plus and this is definitely one of the best.

Great food and friendly service 😊

Excellent Indian for eating in or takeaway. Really tasty food. Good prices and lovely staff. Cash only. Bring your own booze.

There’s so much I could say about how lovely the food is but instead I want to give recognition to the young man who waited on us this evening. I overheard him telling another customer waiting for his takeaway that he was 16 and from Birmingham but he was in Borth for the summer holidays as he often does but this was his first time working at the restaurant . I also heard him say that his uncle owns the place and his dad is a chef there. The restaurant was packed by the time we were leaving and so although we did try and hover about we were unable to catch a quick chat to uncle or dad to tell them what a lovely polite man he is and how much of a credit he is to them. You should be so proud of him and he should be proud of himself.

Good small but friendly curry house. Bring your own booze. Cash only.

We had dinner at Borth Tandori on Saturday night, but we had a terrible experience. It was some sort of chicken dish, but I'm not sure. The food is not handled hygienically, but of course it was our fault that we wandered in here, since the sticker on the door is rating 2, which shows that it is not a clean place and a huge risk for eating. I'm sorry, but you shouldn't ask for money for such food, but even the operation of the restaurant should be reconsidered. Unfortunately, the bad rating is not accidental.

The most descusting none Indian food we have ever eaten NEVER AGAIN YOU CHARLETONDS who taught you to rip of local people

The best Indian cuisine for miles, we have eaten locally for years but this is a gem of a find and highly recommended..the front of house was very welcoming and informative… the restaurant is slightly jaded however the food is fantastic…

£33.10 very very small portions £4.50 4 tiny onion bhaji 7 small pieces of chicken 1 Kema Nan 1 plain plain curry sauce 4 poppadoms small pot chutney. Total disappointment never again.thats with 5% discount for collection.

Wow! Had a takeaway from Borth tandoori on the first night of our stay and it was a great start to the holiday! Everything was delicious and the chef was happy to prepare a king prawn pasanda even though this wasn't on the menu. Would highly recommend!

I went with my friend twice while on holiday. Both times the food was really good it was very busy on our first visit. We went again in the week and enjoyed another meal.

We live in Machynlleth and struggle to find a good Indian and had not tried Borth before and recently went to "give it a go". So glad we did, although first impressions as you enter are that the place needs a lick of paint, this soon goes to the back of your mind as soon as you meet the lady that served us, polite, super friendly and obviously cares about the business, we were a table of 4 and ordered a "bit of everything" to give it a try, different starters, different mains and a selection of sides and breads, more than enough food and bagged up enough leftovers to provide lunch for 2 the next day. All of us were happy with every item we received, all tasted fresh and flavoursome and good portion sizes, lady that served us (I'm annoyed I've forgotten her name but she said her daughter works there as well) was an absolute credit to the establishment and the sort of personality that this industry is sorely missing in other venues. Absolutely worth the visit even if you are a bit of a drive away.

Great food, good value. Staff are always polite. Clean premise.

Takeaway . Efficient, friendly service. Ordered chicken Tikka masala, Borth special, rice and naan. Borth special was delicious, CTM much more like a Korma in our experience. Tasty but very coconutty.

Good people, good food and the beach across the road.

Meat is dry as a nuns, id say probably the worse curry I've ever had... tandoori chicken is not marinaded... If the Welsh think that's a curry they need to go to Birmingham..... flavourless..

Where do I begin. We had a family get together this weekend and we all opted for a curry before our movie and I'm glad we did. Borth tandoori definitely blew us away the food was divine and the service impeccable. The waiter had really good knowledge of the menu and helped accommodate us accordingly. Couldn't fault our visit food was 10/10 service was 11/10 only thing we would say is the decor is a bit outdated bar that however the visit was phenomenal really enjoyed our weekend and will definitely be coming over again.

Food was amazing. Not sure why this place has poor reviews on trip advisor. We have eaten here twice now, once in and once takeaway and the portions are great, the flavours are amazing and I have had plenty of Indians in my life. The bajis are really tasty, the chicken tikka masala is amazing and the rice and naans lovely. I would highly recommend this place. Plus when you eat in you can take your own booze in but it is cash only for the bill.

But due to high demand too busy

Good food, friendly service, fair prices. Don't judge a book by its cover or a restaurant by its decor. When dropping my daughter back at Uni after Christmas, I wanted to take her out to dinner. Everywhere in Aberystwyth were booked pretty much, so I decided to look on TripAdvisor at Borth and read favourable reviews. So off we went. When we arrived, there was a very friendly member of staff and there was a sign that they did not take card! I haven't really used cash since the pandemic. But we were advised we could get some bottles of drink (place is not licensed) and cash back at the pub down the road. We did reconsider whether to go back. But I like to support small businesses and little adventures. The pub was very friendly too. Got my youngling a couple of bottles of cider and some cash for dinner, off we went. We had a warm welcome and sat down. 3 poppadoms, 2 mains, rice and naan for sharing and a Dr Pepper. £32. Cheap compared to where we live in the Midlands. Good food and everyone we encountered had some banter and smiles. It looked like we stepped into an Indian in the 1980's, but it was a very pleasant evening and we were pleased we dined there.

We had a beautiful takeaway NYE. The food was fabulous! We had a selection of curries & each one was perfect, with a good selection of tasty side dishes. Can highly recommend.

Being from the midlands I wasn’t expecting much from this restaurant but I have to say it beat my expectations. Quick service, fantastic food. I saw a couple of reviews saying it was watery and tasteless and I couldn’t disagree more!

Very friendly service, super tasty food. Fair pricing. Thanks for a great meal. Note: cash only, and no licence so if you want something other than the range of soft drinks on offer, you can byob.

Excellent food, excellent service and a friendly, vibrant vibe for a Thursday evening.

Had a takeaway from here fantastic food great friendly service . Even though they were packed i only had to wait a bit longer for my pre booked takeaway .

Lovely authentic Indian! Food is cooked fresh and the service was lovely!

we had the chicken and prawn borth speciality and samosas the only thing they could improve was the chicken and the lamb pieces, they where small and had a dry texture the rice was good and the naan was OK

Absolutely fabulous food and service definitely 5stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food amazing service not one bad word to say Good value for money Lady that served us deserved the tip If other people read this please do the same Thank you for a great meal from the telford family

Wow! What an absolute gem, freshly made with wonderful flavours. The best Veggie Korma I have ever had! Our entire order was delicious 🙏 10/10 and we will back on Friday too! 🙌

2nd visit in three weeks, great food on both occasions. Staff very friendly and welcoming. 😃

Absolutely delicious Chicken Tikka Pathia - in fact probably the best I’ve ever had. I don’t normally finish it when ordering via takeaway but this was gone in a very short space of time. My husband and I loved everything we ordered and will return when we are back in Borth.

Lovely food and service at great value. Some may think the place is a bit scruffy, but it’s clean and we liked it a lot!

Had a takeaway from here I think you can eat in but we chose to take out, food was hot and tasty. Order time was only 25 mins. I would give it a good solid 4 stars. Would go back.

Any time we are in Borth we have a meal here, food is always fantastic.

Delicious nice food ..maybe not the best Indian food but I really enjoyed it. They have some halal options as well.

Great food and lovely people. Just a note cash only and take your own alcohol. Plenty of soft drinks. I wish them well as they do a great job on the food. Me and my wife's food was absolutely delicious 😋😋😋

Had a lovely meal celebrating our daughters 16th birthday. Food was really good and tasted delicious. Great restaurant and would definitely recommend .

We have been visiting Borth for years now and have never got round to trying this place out until last week. We had a takeaway and were really impressed, nice tasty hot food, friendly service. We will definitely be returning!

Superb 👌Food was probably the best we've had at an Indian restaurant and we've got to give a special shout out to ELAINE (what a fabulous hostess...literally couldn't ask for anybody friendlier) Didn't realise there was no alcohol served when we got there but we were told we could bring our own in or go to the local pub and bring some in...so we brought our own. Small but friendly...very highly recommended indeed !!

There was 8 of us went last night had starters and mains everything we ordered was great we will definitely go again

Lovely takeaway , one of the best I’ve ever had. All the food was really tasty and big portions of curry. Staff were really friendly when taking the phone order and when we collected. Was piping hot even when we got back to the caravan. The nann was smaller than I’m used to local to me but this is reflected in the price.

Don't believe the negative reviews. We had a perfectly tasty takeaway curry here. Quality chicken in the flavoursome authentic curries, lovely pilau rice, lovely naan. A solid 4 Star meal. A little steep on price for the quality but then again, no where seems to be as cheap in 2023, and it is the only Asain takeaway in the area, so they can charge a premium and still get customers. Would happily go back.

Disgraceful, king prawn korma, little tiny prawns, and lots of disgusting sauce which was watery, Will not get another takeaway from there

They don’t take cards…… Anyway, the waiter said order what you want, drop it in tomorrow. We scraped together 30 quid. Food was great. Seriously good I thought. Our bill came to 50p more than we had….he didn’t ever charge us corkage on the wine we took it….. Fabulous…..see you next year…

Well worth a visit. BYOB was a great start. The service prompt, and the food was delicious!

Had a takeaway with family and it definitely didn't disappoint. Very tasty food and would highly recommend

Nice place I always go in when I'm in Borth. Had a cauliflower bhaji, tarka dahl & a chapati. Delicious, vegan. Also cash only.

Lovely restaurant. We had starters, a korma and a balti with onion rice. Food was clean, not oily, nice amount of chicken and really hot. We went twice and on the second evening my partner had a rogan josh. The man serving had remembered me and we exchanged pleasantries. For mid week there was a couple of tables occupied which is a good sign. I'd book in advance if wanting to eat in.

Not very tasty. Biriyani items are not mentioned in the menu but available. Chicken biryani is 12.95£ not worth it.

Lovely food, lovely people, would come everyday 😋

We were made very welcome at this local Indian restaurant. We had booked a table which is highly recommended. On arrival we were seated straight away and offered poppadoms and a pickle tray. Glasses for your own drinks eg. wine or beer were readily available....

What can I say but how gorgeous there food is. Forgot to take a picture cause we just scoffed it. We had pooadoms chutney & onion salad.. Mixed starter.. I had chicken tikka dupiaz (not spicy) and the hubby had the Borth speciality (quite spicy)...

First time, won't be the last, 10/10 staff and food. Recomend.

Went to this restaurant with four friends and we had a lovely night out. The food was excellent and so was the sevice. It's BYOB. Place is small so be sure to book a table.

Excellent takeaway for Indian food. Recommend the chicken chaat for starters and chicken korai for main course. Reasonably priced too.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal last night. Haven't been in for several years as food was always disappointing but took the plunge again and it was perfect, well cooked, good ingredients, ample portion. Friendly staff What more could I want Will definately be going back Thank you

Had a fab take away from here this week whilst on holiday! Really fresh food, great flavours, friendly staff and all really good value. BYOB too! Will definitely return on our next trip here!!

Fab food! Highly recommend the chicken dhansak!! Will be coming back next time we are in the area!

Ordered a takeaway from borth tandoori, Ordered by phone given a time to collect, was pleasantly surprised by the quality and reasonable cost

Lovely experience friendly staff amazing food authentic and plenty good menu choice reasonably prices

Sunday evening meal. Only place open. Lovely clean and fresh curry. Family friendly. Bring your own alcohol. Couldn't fault it.

A beautiful place offering authentic Indian food with excellent service and great food.

Dont be fooled when you walk in the place looks run down but beleive me you get a lovelly meal here . We had takeaway prtions were huge well worth the money .

Had a chef special last night was not impressed got home and was sick as dog my friend went back to tell them and not a scrap of sympathy was shown

Eat here every time we visit borth the chicken and mushroom balti is lovely. Great that you can take your own drinks so we buy a red wine to take with us, Elaine and staff all lovely highly recommended 👍

Ordered a takeaway from here for the first time, chicken madras, chicken saag and chicken vindaloo. The food was very good, reminded me of how curries used to taste years ago. Not full of sugar and food colourings, spot on food and will be back next time i visit Borth.

Food is nice. Very friendly atmosphere and staff very friendly and provide fast service.

Booked last minute for a table of four, service was perfect. Garlic rice was a little oily but the rest was perfect. We'll worth the money about £65 for a table of four with sides

Came with the family as we are on holiday. By far the best Indian meal we have had. Food was spot on. Such a shame it's not our local. Would recommend 100% Lovely lady who took our order. She also kindly recommended another place to eat at.

The best. Food, service excellent, friendly, an prompt table service

Takeaway order for nine, Everyone was satisfied with the amount and quality of their food. CASH ONLY - very rare these days.

Returning to the area having been away for 4 years we had a takeaway from Borth Tandoori. Freshly prepared, we had Chicken Shashlick and Tandoori mix. There was lots of both, piping hot and perfectly cooked. Excellent!

Fantastic! Had takeaway of chicken balti slightly hot and fish curry...beautiful loads of chicken and onions and fish was tender and tasty 😋

My borth special was ok suppose to be quite spicy but rather bland .

As ever gorgeous food. The real deal. Friendly staff and nothing to much trouble. Totally best indian in aberystwyth. Just tell them how spicy you want it and they will do it for you. Love it .

This place is great. Good range of menu choices, tasted good and well priced. This is a BYO, and they only accept cash, so come prepared!

Wow. Great food great atmosphere. Very tasty food and great service. Will be recommending to our customers at our guest house.

Very clean and friendly service. Lots of choices on types of food served

We had a lovely takeaway meal last night. Hot and tasty. Very impressed. Still thinking about it now ! Thank you very much Mansur.

Came here on a cold winters night, lovely welcome from the host and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Food was delicious and good value, a highlight of a trip to Borth.

Great little curry house, food is always spot on and the owner and staff are great they accommodate whatever you want. we visit every time we come down to our caravan on cambrian coast.we highly recommend.

Brilliant night and good was amazing. Staff are lovely and prices are very reasonable... Would highly recommend x

Great Indian food here and great service as well. Best in the area I would say.....

Lovely food and friendly service, would highly recommend.

Cold windy day, decided needed warming up and tried Borth tandoori. Not disappointed, warm and very welcoming, food excellent and plentiful. Would definitely visit again.

We've been here before and enjoyed the food then hence our return and we were not disappointed. Warm welcome from Kayleigh, (I hope I have spelled that correctly), who supplied glasses and a bottle opener for our drinks as they do not serve alcoholic drinks...

We wondered in here as a happy accident when out looking for food. The lady serving was so friendly and was great with our children. The food was served in a reasonable time and was incredibly tasty. There was lots of choice for both spice lovers and those a little softer like me. They serve soft drinks but if you want alcoholic you take your own as they aren't licensed. It was very well priced, we were convinced they'd totalled our bill wrong when we saw how cheap it was for a family of 4.
