Elaichi Restaurant & Take away in Carmarthenshire

Delicious food. Food was served quickly. We all ordered different items off the menu and no one left disappointed. Excellent service.

My partner and I order from here now and again and every single time, it hits the nail on the head in every aspect. The food is always hot and of exceptional quality, bursting with flavour and authenticity so hats off to the team who work hard to bring these dishes to life. Credit also to the delivery personnel who always arrive promptly and are always so polite at the door. Soon, we aim to dine in the restaurant in person to achieve a full experience. So, if you're in the St. Clears area and fancy Indian food, make this place your first choice. Highly recommended from me!

Woefully disappointed. Visited for my birthday. Was excited to visit after reading about the curry awards. We spent 4 months eating our way around India and we often cook curries at home. I've been vegetarian for 27 years and I feel like the chef made no effort. My chana puree was dry and plain and the paneer special was virtually inedible, lacking flavour and substance with frozen veg. The 2 waiters were breathing down our necks and the manager/owner had his feet up behind the counter. The loo's were what you'd expect in a grotty pub. Such a shame, won't be returning.

Appalling delivery service. Twice recently we have experienced issues with deliveries on one occasion it was 1/2 hour late with no apology and on the second occasion an order was placed for 1830 and still no sign of it at 20.30. Called them twice and had two conflicing stories told to me. Appalling service.

The nicest curry we have ever had from beginning with poppadoms and dips, to the end with coffees. I can understand why they have won awards. We all ordered different dishes which we all shared and tucked into. None of them disappointed. It was all extremely flavoursome and all had lovely thick sauces. I'd go as far as to say they were divine. I'm not sure why some reviewers have said theirs were watery. Perhaps they were unlucky. We've lived around the world so have eaten many curries cooked by different cultures. In the UK we've also had them in Leicester, Bradford, Cardiff, Manchester, and around London including the curry mile. We much preferred ours here to anywhere else we've experienced. The staff were lovely and very attentive and the service was quick. All-in-all, it was perfect and we can't wait to go back. Thank Elaichi!

Took Mrs Davies to Kaowood for a hot tub weekend, it’s her birthday after all. Anybody that knows Kaowood knows how remote the area is, didn’t fancy the trek into St Clears on Friday night so looked for a take away delivery that would turn up… cue Elaichi Ordering online was easy and hassle free and I booked the delivery for 6:45pm that night fully expecting a phone call asking me to meet them at reception but no, at 6:55 pm there’s a knock on the door, there’s our delivery! Bonus points right there. The food? Absolutely delicious and well prepared, I’d ordered us far too much food as per usual but somehow it all vanished, it was so tasty! Unusual item on the menu? Crab! Don’t think I’ve ever seen crab listed at an Indian restaurant before so we had to try it, fantastic by the way. Thank you Elaichi for the perfect food and the superb delivery service, we’ll be back soon and maybe we’ll sit in next time

Having recently moved to the area we decided to try, first time was disappointing watery curry and dry chicken, few months later we decided to try again, same if not worse.. chips cold and bit hard like stale rice was bland and curry was also bland honestly how they operate a restaurant is beyond me you'd get better taking food from the supermarket seriously don't waste your money if you enjoy food!

Very disappointed in our meal here. The curry was tasteless and watery, rice was ok, the peshwari naan was burnt and didn't have enough of the coconut flavouring so might as well have been a plain naan.

Went with my elderly mother & teenage son, early on a Saturday evening, very busy, lots of takeaway's & people in the restaurant, service was just on the slow side from taking to the order to serving the food & even getting the bill. Food was ok just above average not spectacular, will probably return as it's local but need to factor in the time required.

Nice food, nice staff would visit again. Food was hot and tasteful. Parking an issue but not too far away which is good...

The food itself is nice, However! Their timings are absolutely abysmal!! I am writing this review from my current experience but i have heard many others with the same experience including from my own parents and their friends! I ordered a £65 order and was told there was an hour and a half wait. 2 hours later we are still waiting, i phoned back just to check on the order and was told (in fairness a lovely lady) that it was “just leaving”. 15 minutes later we are still waiting- we live 2 minutes up the road… My mother has then phoned to check on the ETA and then was told then it was being boxed up and would take about 10 minutes. We are; as i write this- are sill waiting, it is now 21:00. I reiterate we are located very local. If you are looking for a quick bite i would not recommend however if you order very early and are not bothered by a 2+ hour wait. Its ok. My family and I personally will not be ordering from them and waiting 2+ hours for ok food.

We are local and we visit this restaurant quite regularly. with friends. A couple of weeks ago we had to leave this restaurant due to very poor service, Tonight we decided to give it the benefit of the doubt - how wrong were we When we received the food it was great but we literally live 2 minutes down the road - this restaurant would not last 2 months if it was based in a big city. When you complain directly the staff do not care a jot. Seriously living in the country they we have to deal with really poor service and just have to live with it. City dwellers would not accept this

I rang and placed a takeaway order at 7.15pm it was for five meals from the back of the menu totalling over £63 . Your very pleasant lady said that our order would not be ready for an hour and a half, not ideal but we agreed that this was ok. My husband arrived promptly at 8.45pm to collect our order and waited and waited until 9.30pm for our order to be ready (forty five minutes)! During that time it was quite obvious to him that many other orders for delivery were taking priority. When my husband finally arrived home at 9.50pm we were of course starving and very much looking forward to our dinner. Well having been a customer for over 8 years I have to say that it was probably the worst meals we have ever had from you. The vegetable curries were tasteless, the prawn korma was watery, the prawns were nonexistent and what there was tasted gritty! The chicken tikka korma was also watery and very much lacking flavour. Half of the meals I am sad to say ended up in the dustbin. I have always recommended your restaurant and food to all I know and also visitors to the area, sadly I won’t be doing this anymore. I am assuming that you were overwhelmed with orders, with sauces having to be watered down to cope with demand. I did write to you Sunday and have yet still had no response…..again very sad.

We were staying in a really remote farmhouse and ordered a take away to be delivered form these guys. Not only did they pick up our order, which was great because of where we were staying, but the food was delivered a full 30 minutes earlier than we had expected. The food itself was excellent and the portions were really generous! I would 100% recommend these guys.

Net restaurant met grote menukaart Lekkere grote papadums vooraf met lekkere toppings Prima smaakende gerechten , naanbrood en kokosrijst Vriendelijke bedieningen en schappelijke prijzen

Amazing freshly cooked food in plentiful quantities. Can’t recommend this place enough, my daughter wanted a celebration meal to celebrate a driving test pass in Carmarthen, and Elaichi did not disappoint . Thank you Elaichi for making a memorable day even more amazing!

Arrived late without booking. Made very welcome and had an excellent meal. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Phoned order at 6.30,told it would be 30-35 minutes.Fair enough..but couldn't hear the member of staff on phone,he came across quite rude to be honest. Turned up around 7.10pm..waited,waited,waited.Couple of the staff smiled at me sympathetically walking back and forth to kitchen to retrieve food...

Great service and food, we had takeaway, ordered online for future time, food was ready on time, excellent service and the best curry we've ever had.

Visited here with friends, the first time here. There was plenty of choice on the menu and the decor was nice. Prices not bad and meal sizes were great.

We had a lovely dinner here when visiting Pendine, service was good and friendly with very tasty food. Only criticism was the toilets were a bit tatty which is a pet hate of mine, I think something like this says a lot about cleanliness. Nonetheless...

We called in for a take away 630 on Sunday and the restaurant had several people which is a good sign , easy to order and friendly staff and very nice food thanks

First time to try this restaurant. We came here after reading some of the reviews. Got to say that the service and the food was excellent. One mistake with the order but it was corrected quickly and with no fuss. We’ll definitely come here again,...

Overnight stay at the travelodge in St Clears. Found this gem of a indian. Booked enroute. Very busy when we arrived. Great varied menu. Service was very good. The food very good.

We ate here on our business trip to the area because the Black Lion Pub up the road wasn't serving food. So we booked a table here. Food was good - see photos. But we asked for a 2nd round of drinks and it didn't...

Lovely evening out at the restaurant. It was very busy but service was still very good and staff were attentive. The menu is impressive amd thr food was delicious. Food was hot, well presented and extremely tasty. Not my first visit, definitely not my last,...

Excellent food and service. Fabulous staff. A visit here is a must. You’ll definitely want to keep going back.

Very poor service. Food is lovely but we waited a long time for our food - over an hour. Very disappointing. Will not be going back

Really lovely restaurant, friendly and helpful staff, we didn’t have to wait at all for anything, great food, the lamb was particularly nice. Would highly recommend.

Booked as a table of 15 for a colleagues leaving meal, the restaurant is our colleagues favourite place to eat. The table was booked for 6pm, all parties had arrived by 6:15. Food orders were not taken until close to 7:30pm. Less than half of...

On the plus side the food was very nice and the staff friendly. On the downside they were short staffed and prioritised people waiting for takeaways over those dining in. 2hrs 15 minutes for two courses.

Ordered a takeaway from this Indian - food was average. Yet we were overcharged massively. We are staying in a holiday area, restaurant took advantage of this and charged us full price knowing we had no menu to hand, which we later were able to...

Brilliant service, great selection on delicious food. Cooking off god was about 5 minutes longer than expected but this was fine as the restaurant was busy and the food was amazing

Absolutely first class hospitality from the moment you step into the restaurant to the moment you leave. Excellent service, ambiance, staff and of course delicious freshly prepared food. The newly renovated restaurant is a delight. Congratulations to the management and staff. Highly recommended.

Fabulous evening spent in beautiful surroundings !! Food is top notch and service 10/10 we had an array of foods from the best poppudoms to the the best peshwari naan we have ever tasted !!! Nothing was too much trouble and staff went above and...

The best danm Indian food I've ever had. I rate the people and the effort goes into this place. Thoroughly enjoyed. I had the Kimg Prawn Green Curry that said it was medium to hot but was more mild in my opinion but other than...

Heard such a lot about this place, decided to give it a try. Food was your usual Bangladeshi fare and was quite good but place had no atmosphere and staff were young and a bit clueless.

I had a takeaway from here last week for the first time. I had the goan lamb vindaloo and it was up there with the finest curries I have ever eaten. Upon collection, the team were incredibly welcoming. Currently waiting for them to open so...

Me and my friends were having a lush time here so I recommend it so much, I also enjoyed the atmosphere there it was quite well

Wrong meal presented to my partner, she did not want a fuss because of a limited places to eat in the area. I put a order in for a basic veggie vinderloo. Supermarket brands are better. This restaurant has just won a best in wales...

We don't often eat in Indian restaurants, so this was a real treat. Huge menu to choose from. Our meals very good and staff helpful and friendly. Very clean and tidy. Busy with takeaway orders as well as seated diners.

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant and all the staff were very friendly and helpful and gave us a good service

Stayed in St Clears as.part of a family holiday, went here on our last night. For a Tuesday it was quite busy, lots of people coming in for takeaway. Our food was hot and tasty, waitress was friendly. We asked for one curry extra hot...

We all ordered food and had it delivered to where we were staying near St Clears. I knew the food wouldn’t be good when I saw some of the dishes had Bengali names. We were hungry and tired and beggars can’t be choosers as nobody...

Absolutely disgusting. So much oil was unreal. Taste only of Payaks. Would not recommend this place at all. Better of buying a frozen curry from Asda or Tesco

We took my father to St .Clears for a couple of days to celebrate his 89th birthday last week .After a day walking in the heat my Dad was not feeling too good when we arrived at the restaurant so didn't want anything to eat...

OUTSTANDING !!!!! Firstly I would like to praise the staff at this restaurant. Staff are so welcoming, and very efficient. This is so refreshing at these times, as everywhere we go the service is very poor, due to lack of staff. No lack of staff...

We visited as a party of eight, four kids & four adults. The staff were great; attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. I’m a coeliac and most of the menu was naturally gluten free... for once I didn’t feel...

Best food I had in a long time.all food was delicious.thick flavours and beautiful curry's.lamb was melt in your mouth.cant fault a single thing.WE WILL BE BACK

Absolutely rude staff, Didn’t look happy. The waitress was standing by the bar playing with her brace that’s in her mouth and it put me right off my food, not hygienic at all, won’t be going back

On holiday in area and got a take away which was very nice lots of lovely tender chicken in curry. 2nd visit ordered the same which was also very nice with the exception of 2 burnt poppadoms.

I have to say, another knock out of a delivered curry!! I ordered 2 Chicken Bryani Madras hot, it was delivered within 45 minutes, piping hot, and absolutely flavoursome, light and delicious! I honestly would recommend Elaichi to anyone who loves a really good, value...

Four of us were staying at St C. for a few days holiday. We discovered this place for a nice evening meal, and were so impressed that we went back the following night too. Attentive staff, good for (we eat of LOT of Indian meals)....

We ended up at Elaichi as it was the only take-away open in the area (Tuesday Night). We were delighted with the service, quality of the food and the portion sizes - LARGE!!!

Excellent food, very reasonable prices! The tandoori mixed grills was exceptionally good and could tell the naans were made in house!

Had a fantastic Indian takeaway. The flavours were incredible, and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The owner was really friendly and helpful and the food was delivered fresh and hot quickly. I would highly recommend this place. We are looking forward to visiting the restaurant next.

We were staying in the area in a nearby country park and decided not to strike out to the nearby St Clears for food tonight. A quick Internet search found The Elaichi. Online ordering and paying was a hassle free affair and we could select...

Turned without a booking lovely meal great service the staff are very attentive and friendly we always get a great welcome

For our 25th wedding anniversary we chose elaichi for our evening meal after visiting here 2 yrs ago while on holiday, we travelled from Cardiff and stayed in a hotel and again they didn’t disappoint us the staff were so friendly and the food was...

Warm welcome, excellent reasonably priced menu, great service & food make this a top choice for eating in St Clears. Staff wore masks (as did we when not eating/ drinking) & tables were arranged to support social distancing - this further enhanced a special get...

Never been here before, despite being regulars to the area. I wish we’d found it earlier. The food and service are amazing, friendly attentive staff, with hot plates (unusual these days) and huge portions. Roll on our next holiday!

I would honestly recommend this restaurant to anybody . I travel from Tenby as the food and service are above and beyond any other restaurant within the local area . They put fun competitions on Facebook to participate in which are great fun and a...

We discovered this amazing Indian restaurant by chance. We are only in this area 2 or 3 times a year. Wish we lived locally as we would be regulars. Such a wide choice on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and presented perfectly. The...

On holiday, we stumbled on this great restaurant. Having tasted lots of tasty curries over the years…we both agreed that this was the best we had tasted. Compliments to the chefs. The flavours were well balanced. My other half had the chicken vindaloo…chicken just cooked...

Visited this place last night. The girl serving was very first. However the service was so slow and it was because they prioritised the delivery and take away services. Many tables had to wait an hour between each course. The food was also poor. Not...

Visited the elaichi whilst staying at the kaowood lodges, great food and friendly staff. We’d definitely order again and perhaps stay for a sit down meal.😊

Fab service , good price lovely atmosphere and one of the best Indian meals we have ever had, simply delicious 😍

We bought a caravan not far from this restaurant and decided to sample the take away menu.I had a chicken jalfrezi and my wife had a prawn dopiaza.The meals were quite tasty but the dishes were overdone with vegetables.For me it was spot the chicken...

Nice to see it back open after a period of having to rely on their good delivery service during lockdown. Food and service have always been excellent, but they used the lockdown period wisely to upgrade the decor to suit. We walked there for a...

Stayed at Travelodge so it was ideal to have somewhere this good on doorstep. Huge portions! All well cooked and really full of flavour. Poppadoms straight to the table while we selected our main courses. Wine good quality and reasonable price.

We were on holiday and this was our first meal out since the start of lockdown and what a wonderful gem of a place. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive yet not intrusive. The place was clean, bright and inviting and the smell of...

Takeaway delivered tonight. Great food really helpful delivery driver, friendly and efficient. I had the Elachi Biriyani, loads of delicious moist meat. I requested a hotter than usual veg curry and that was perfect. My husband's Rashmi kebab was delicious too. All really great. Will...

This isn’t any Indian cuisine,this is Elaichi’s, rich in aroma of Indian and Bangladesh herbs and spices, Masterly made by the talent that is simply in demand from all over west wales. May sound a little like a marks and Spencer’s advert, but trust me...

We ordered and they delivered a take away piping hot the food was delicious. We would definitely use this place again when visiting the area.

Just ate out at Elaichi for the first time. Found it to be a really nice evening. The staff were very helpful, especially in these times. The staff greeted you in masks and sanitizer was available. On my own shown to the table, a very...

Elaichi is the best Indian around by far. They have a great menu and the food is amazing. The staff are lovely too and very attentive. If you like Indian food, then Elaichi, St Clears is the place.

Excellent food but unfortunately spoilt by the service. Table booked for 8.30pm. Eventually served food at 9.50pm. Be prepared to wait

We were staying the weekend in St Clears and had a lovely meal here. Food was amazing and staff very friendly. In particular the young lady with blonde hair serving us. The restaurant was very busy however she managed extremely well under pressure and was...

Waited over 1 hour 30 for our food and was just 1 curry. Got the food and was cold. And wasn’t even a busy day, there was basically no customers and still had to wait over an hour and a half. Really liked the Yin...

What has happened? Usually an amazing meal here but tonight was a clear let down. Bland is the best work to describe it. Korma was poor, rice was greasy and Naan was tasteless. Not like it used to be by a long way.

We were really looking forward to returning to Elaichis, it had been a long time. It was lovely to ser the restaurant full of couples and families. As always the service was spot on and the staff are so attentive and polite. I may have...

We have been to Elaichi a number of times pre lockdown. Never disappointed. Now it has re opened as lockdown eases and it’s better than ever Fresh new interior and you have to hand sanitise as you enter - telling you they are taking customers’...

Always try to support the team at Elaichi as the customer service is outstanding as well as the food. We normally have a takeaway and I pick up on way home from work, however during these difficult times it's not possible, so to our delight...
