CUSTOMERS TALK ABOUT DISHES WITH.. mustricecookedlambcurrychickenmeat

comment_iconOpinions

Unfortunately my partner called in here (by mistake) for a takeaway last week. He had a list of dishes for a different restaurant which they could not fulfil so they substituted what they could. Firstly, although its NOT on the menu they supplied a vegetable Jalfresi - IT WAS VERY GOOD! Sadly they substituted another main dish (from their menu) because it had the word Ki in the name, it's potato curry with, in their words a yogurt based sauce, probably the most horrible curry I've ever encountered. They did have Chana marsala (dismal and, strangely, dry) and Aloo Gobi (tasteless). They know how to make a nice curry, the non standard Jalfresi was very nice, so why are their standard dishes so bad? Are they insulting their day to day customers? The price was pretty steep too for what we got and the portions (especially the side dishes) were small.

We went there on Saturday night and we ordered the vegetarian thali. It was dreadful. The meal came in small bowls bit by bit. The first two bowls that came out with the same and we both started eating them and then the rice came out. Now, we shouldn’t have had the first two bowls apparently, and despite having eaten from one of them the way to take them away. The waiter then brought two bowls of rice and then the Bombay potato and some mushroom dish. We also had chickpeas and some disgusting yellow soup which had bits floating in it. All in all it was chaotic when we went to pay credit card machine was linked to the phone so when the phone rang the waiter could only do one thing at a time so took the phone call which was a long order so we had to wait to pay until the order had been taken and he could put the phone down, I haven’t been anywhere so bad in such a long time. This was quite empty really compared to the other two Indians in the High Street, which is why obviously the food is not as good lesson learned £38 that we won’t get back and I will never go there again.

Had a take away from here tonight drove from Gorseinon passing loads of restaurants and take aways to get there. The food was sub standard the cartons were not full tasteless and curry sauces holding water on plate, it just shows the dishes hadn’t been bhuna’ed enough in the pan and they just add water to thin out, really really not good hence the taste.. it’s a shame we have been here many times and it’s BM been ok.. I won’t be returning

This restaurant is expensive for the quality of food. It is very popular as a take away, but to eat in, it is expensive for basic food served on small cramped tables. 4 of us sitting in a booth with a narrow table did not allow room for our drinks. Toilets were very clean, service was good.

Just ate at this lovely restaurant with 2 of my closest friends from Cardiff. Living maybe 5 minutes away, I didn't realise how good the food away from the SA1 postcode would be. Probably the nicest Indian resturant I've visited in a longgggg time. Start off with a chutney board and poppadoms which was lovely. The Green coconut was lovely. I had the chicken tikka massala and some rice which was full of taste. Lovely to finish off with a warm hand towel and an after eight. Will definitely be visiting again. Cannot fault how nice the staff were and the food was perfection!.

Whilst staying nearby in a self catering holiday home we decided to visit the Indian Cottage over the other Indian restaurants in town largely due to it being recommended by the in formation book in our holiday accommodation and that it was open for sit down on a sleepy Monday evening in May. Can’t fault the service levels, but then there was only one other table in and they had nearly finished so we did get virtually one to one attention apart from the steady stream of takeaways going out the door. I went for one of the Taka-Taka Tin Indian BBQ mains with garlic mushroom rice and a peshwari naan and I have to say the curry was one of the best I have had in a long while. And the Naan came out hot and puffy and clearly had come straight from the side of the tandoor and not just reheated. So all in all a good Indian restaurant experience for us. Old school decor internally but interestingly the waiter explained to us that the restaurant was actually shutting down for internal dining for a couple of weeks to be re-decorated with a new carpet and presumably more modern style. That did strike me as a bit strange that the restaurant owners would decide to do that now just as the government is giving us a bit of freedom to get inside once again and not whilst we were all locked down. I guess future reviewers will be able to comment on whether it was worthwhile to do so

What has happened to this place? It used to be one of my favourite Indian restaurants. But it has rapidly gone down hill. I was so pleased to see it had joined Just Eat. But won’t be bothering again. They have a space to wave comments for the restaurant so I asked for swaps within the Chutney Tray. They obviously didn’t read it as the chutney tray contained what I didn’t want. The following week I decided not to bother with a Chutney Tray. This time I ordered a lamb sagwala but got a chicken sagwala!! One mistake too much - bye bye !

Ordered a delivery this evening 3 curries and 2 portions of onion bahjis. We were missing 1 portion of onion bahjis and missing 1 curry. When I phoned in to inform them they asked to phone back again in 10 minutes. Waited over 1hr for the curry to be delivered to which when I phoned up to chase the order I got told that it will be delivered tomorrow. No apology or even acknowledging that this shouldn’t of happened. Will NEVER be ordering from here again. I do not understand how a restaurant can be run so poorly.

I ordered a food with my boyfriend and it was terrible. My Balti was oily, lacks spices and had black burn bits on my balti sauce and missing a balti naan, my partner shashlik was burnt and wasnt edible to eat. Mushroom and Garlic rice was very dry and hard. Keema naan has little amount of meat and had some dough. I requested them to rectify the order or exchange but was told by the manager said its our problem that we ordered the food even though we collection. Been a regular customer for 6 years and recieved this treatment. Im going to go for Cardamon and avoid at all cost.

I use to come here with my girlfriend few times but the food became rancid. 85% of my food came from a microwave as it ping more times when I sat further back. They gave us popadams that was hard, coconut and mint sauce was VERY sour, much likely gone off. My lamb was undercooked with the Jalfrezi, naan bread was doughy and my girlfriend Massala didnt even taste like a Massala. Staff was not bothered about this as they didnt care less about the service as they were chatting away with their friends and family members sitting at the lounge area. No apologies or no discount as the staff member told me you eat what you eat even though it came up £42.90 what a joke and only accepts cash. Funny to say that they have a card machine available but hidden it under a table and saying no signal which all of the card machine has signal because it is SIM card attachment system. AVOID AT ALL COST

Been with them for so many years and now it has gone terrible. Over-priced food which led up to being cold, some parts of my food burnt, oily and hardened. The service response was even bad as waitress just does not know what she is doing and only seen her few times on her phone, chewing a gum and taking pictures of herself. Management did not resolve my issue as he said to me not my problem saying you buy what you get. Awful experience and avoid at all cost.

I had a meal there recently and it was awful. Despite the excellent waitress very carefully taken our order the waiter that served the food got everything wrong. The food used to be excellent but I’ve had a couple of very poor meals there recently. When the main boss is there it is first class...when he’s not there then it’s 3rd rate at best.

I rarely write reviews as I understand that sometimes restaurants can have bad days. But this is the second time since lockdown that we've had a curry from Indian Cottage and it was dreadful. When the only good thing from a curry house is the poppadoms then you know you've had a bad meal. From the barely cooked naan bread to the pathia that you could easily have spread on bread instead of honey as it was insanely horrifically sweet to the stone cold rice. Not to mention the 6, yes 6 tiny pieces of chicken in the so called balti that was in no way a balti (no i am not a native but baltis at least have flavour-this didnt). at least the poppadoms were nice. we won't be ordering from there again.

I have eaten here before and the food was really tasty and I gave it 5* but the Sunday buffet was so disappointing the curry seemed like there was something missing in it because of the price they charge. Portions are really small too. If you go there on a Sunday order off the main menu is my advice.

Please avoid! Absolutely disgusting service and food, we have been coming for a long time and tonight was a disgrace. We were served awful cuts of meat laced mainly all fat and a chicken spine. And not even so much as an apology. If you have a taste card you cannot pay with a card machine which alone strikes alarm bells. They have upset me that much I am contacting Food Standards and HRMC.

1st time i have ever been to an Indian and decided to try here after husband nagging me for 14 years to give it a go. Lovely restaurant, staff were very friendly and food was served quickly. Food was delicious, I had the Special Biryani which was a mixed meat with omelette, had to/leave nearly half of it because I was so full, my husband had the Lamb Delight which although is listed as having fairly hot spices was mild. The only problem we had was even though my husband ordered a lamb delight he was given a chicken delight, staff really should listen especially when restaurant is quite as we went at 7pm. But this will not put us off going back soon

We went here to use the meerkat buy one get one free,(advice for people using this offer its cash only),it was early evening the place was very quiet,it was slightly dark inside,the service was good the waitress was very polite,we first ordered the chutney tray,a nice generous portion of chutneys and we had 2 poppadoms each,for our starters i ordered lamb tikka and my wife had a mixed starter,my lamb was slightly chewy my wife shared an onion bhaji with me and it was very nice and crispy.For our mains we both ordered the medium curry and asked if we could have it slightly hot,there were no warmers put on the table for our mains it was served in dishes,as i curry lover i must say i have had better curries,to me it seemed like the sauce had split,I do not want to put people off but for me it was a reasonable curry but not great.After we finished our mains we ordered more drinks,my wife asked for a gin and tonic and was then told they had run out of tonic.Would i come back here yes i would give this restaurant another try.For all those disabled people level access to go in,on the right hand side of the seating there is a slight step to go up to the tables,toilets on same level but no disabled toilet.I would score this restaurant six and a half out of ten.

Had high hopes for this place with it being the highest rated Indian restaurant in the area so it's with disappointment that I'm having to leave a negative review. On ordering the food I asked the waitress to check whether the vegetarian thali could be made vegan, she checked with the kitchen who confirmed that it could be. A short while after placing our order a 2nd waiter came over to confirm that we wanted a vegan version of the vegetarian thali, I confirmed that we did and he said that was fine. When a 3rd waiter brought our first course to the table, 2 of the 3 dishes he brought were not vegan, 1 was a yoghurt dip which the waiter confirmed wasn't vegan when I asked him, the 2nd was a plate of onion bhaji, I asked the waiter to check that these didn't contain egg as they usually did, he asked me if I had an allergy, I replied that I was vegan and eating something that wasn't vegan could make me ill (not that you should ever have to justify this), the waiter checked with the kitchen who confirmed that the bhaji did contain egg so were therefore not vegan. No apology was given for this really poor service, no effort was made to make amends, we were just given duplicates of the same dishes rather different ones which is why we chose the thali in the 1st place. Overall a really poor experience, in addition to this the service was slow, not particularly welcoming or friendly, and overall it was a really disappointing experience, needless to say, we won't be going back which is a shame as it's our local and we would have been back often had it been any good.

I made an order via Just Eat but cancelled it immediately to reorder with a 15 % discount. I telephoned India cottage to confirm the cancellation. They subsequently phoned me straight back at 19.15 and stated the driver had already left with the order, they offered to knock a £1 off the £30.15 order. I have just spoke to them at 20.15 for them to state our order had gone to someone else. I knew we should have gone to the Tamarind

Made a booking at beginning of April when offer on a Sunday is 4 courses for £8.99. In fact courses were starter, main meal, side and vegetable side. Good value but not actually courses. It was 2 courses with 2 sides. However, food was nice but no different to other Indian restaurants. Therefore I believe the offer is misleading.

We saw this restaurant highly rated on Tripadvisor so decided to visit when in the area . Arrived on Sunday afternoon and found only two other people dining there , not good , I thought . We were seated by a polite young man who brought the menus . There is a special Sunday fixed price menu but the selection is sufficient . A starter , a main course , a veg choice and a sundry dish for £7.95 seemed to be good value so we went ahead and ordered . We weren’t to be disappointed, the food was plentiful , authentic and freshly cooked . I can’t remember when we had such a nice Indian meal and I would highly recommend this little restaurant . I noticed on the door that there was only three out of a possible five stars for hygiene but that wasn’t reflected in the public areas . The restaurant is a “tunnel” as quite a lot of these terraced shops are but this didn’t detract from the decor . There’s plenty of on street parking so access is good and we will be returning shortly with friends .

7 of us decided to go here last Sunday, for the Sunday menu. Great choice of starters, mains and sundries. Staff were great and very helpful. Very clean restaurant and a very good idea to have the Sunday menu, 3 courses for £8.95 better than Indian buffet in my opinion. Starter was a bit small I had the Mushroom surprise 2 mushrooms with meat in the middle surrounded by bread crumbs maybe should make the starter at least 4 mushrooms rather than just the 2. Mains was much bigger and very tasty I went for the chicken passanda however it did taste a lot like the korma. We will be back to try some more dishes on the menu.

We live in Pontardawe. It's a one horse town but has 3 Indian/Bangladeshi(?) restaurants. We've tried all of them (and Raaz - takeaway only) and they are all pretty good. Indian Cottage, Cardamon and Tamarind are within a minute of each other in the centre of Pontardawe. We usually get a takeaway and usually from Indian Cottage as it has been consistently the best since we moved here. All the usual options are on the menu which means plenty of choice. We have found the cooking to be very consistent. Some restaurants seem to have a high turnover of chefs, so a favourite choice can suddenly change for the worst and that is not the case here. Highly recommended.

However the place was very average the food was nice enough but not the best i have had at indian establishments and i found the portion sizes on the small side, in fact i left still hungry. The service wasnt great the waiter seemed rushed and was maybe having an off night. We asked for the internet password a few times but we never got it in the end. So it wasnt the best but it wasnt terrible. We were disappointed as we had driven some distance to try something 5 star which turned out to be 3 star.

La comida aquí es excelente, varios curries hacer degustar diferentes no todos el mismo, buenas porciones, asientos cómodos y sacrificios son justos y buen menú.

Que parece una gran política, pero tengo que decir que es muy cierto. Visitando a unos amigos que conocimos a la cena. Poco lento con las bebidas, pero por lo demás excelente. Yo el especial de biryani y cuando termine quería más, el cordero era muy sabrosa y las gambas eran jugosas. Éramos 5 de nosotros y todos comimos todo cuesta menos de £25 por delante no sólo fue una relación calidad-precio, pero valió cada centavo y más. Sin duda volveremos.

Buen viejo estilo indio. Todo bien, la comida, el servicio, los precios, servicio y cómodos asientos. Aparcamiento en la calle. Lleva una tarjeta de gourmet, de lunes a jueves, por la relación calidad-precio aún mejor!

Was going to go on Valentines day but left it till Thursday thinking it be quieter, I was wrong very busy restaurant, there are 3 Indian restaurants in Pontardawe including the cottage, we passed the other 2 first and there was not a soul in either of them the cottage was really busy which probably say it all with which one is the best. We had chicken pakora starter and chicken chat a nice sized portion for a starter and mains of chicken delight for the both of us one extra hot with keema rice chips and keema nan we both really enjoyed, two clean plates. Staff are friendly and take your order pretty quickly. Takeaway is very busy to.

I have previously given this restaurant a very good review and have been many times. However we had a particularly bad take away last week. The curry itself was ok if a little stingy on the portions. The chips however were very undercooked and hard, we had to leave them. The popadoms were soft and we were given the wrong naan bread, a chilli naan instead of a garlic one. It nearly blew my socks off when I took a bite thinking it was our regular garlic one. Sadly the experience has put us off coming back for a while.

Waited for 3/4 of an hour, which I was told it would be. Really didn't expect it to be cold. I live like 3 minutes from the place how hard it must be to bring a hot curry to my house. Haven't had a curry from here for alone time so had high hopes. Well I was very let down by the whole takeaway experience. It was freezing even the poppadoms were cold. £30 for this was a right con. I ate it to satisfy the wife until she said it's not very nice lol. This was such a let down and it won't be happening again. I'm now finished with the Indian cottage takeaway.

The food was as expected for a Indian takeout, the proportions were some of the smallest we have ever experienced. Be careful when paying, they do not give receipts and when we arrived home we thought the price was a bit high and it was as they charged us 3 pounds to much, ah that is why they do not give receipts them. Would not recommend as a good Indian takeout.

Visited here for a birthday meal has a family of 12 we waited for over a hour for our food which wasn't the best being it's voted one of best Indians. Service was rubbish even when they brought the birthday cake didn't say happy birthday just put cake on the table.Will defiantly not be visiting here again and wouldn't recommend it.

Whenever we visit our friends in Pontardawe we insist on a visit to the Indian Cottage.When we arrive we are always greeted cordially by the owner Mr Syful who is the perfect host. The meals are always excellent and tasty and the ambience is tasteful and warm.Wish we could move the Indian Cottage to nearer our home!

I love the Indian cottage. It's our new favourite. Have eaten in many curry houses but had the best balti I've ever tasted here. It was so tasty, and the rest of the meal was great too. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff were very efficient. We will definitely be back.

Been frequenting this restaurant for years, last 2 x visits slow slow service ( early evening, one other couple in only) but more noticeably, the food has lost that "special" taste, dont get me wrong, its not bad, just bland. New chef maybe ??

Ate in the Indian Cottage as a birthday treat with my partner, we have never had a bad meal in this restaurant and this was no exception. The service was good and the meal arrived very quickly, the food is very good and well presented, the staff are helpful and attentive probably the only downside of the restaurant is it's size, it is very small and on a busy evening does feel cramped but don't let that put you off.

Came here based on TripAdvisor reviews.. Really bland currys, two hairs in six popadoms (good average) and poor service. Established in 1985 when this type of food was acceptable but not in 2016.

We had just one evening in South Wales and from the Tripadvisor reviews we thought we would give this a go.Simply put it is 144 miles from home and it was so good we would consider a trip just for an indian meal that good! We were not adventurous sticking to the same sort of dishes we would choose at home, and I do not know how but the sauces were lovely, without swimming in oil!

We "discovered" the Indian Cottage when we moved to this area some 15 years ago and it instantly became our favourite restaurant and the standard by which all other Indian restaurants are judged. To date, we have simply never found a better Indian restaurant.Excellent service, superb food and a friendly atmosphere, what more can you ask for?

Been to the India cottage on a number of occasions with no complaints. Food has always been a good standard, some dishes as with all restaurants are better than other, but overall very good with very helpful and friendly staff.

We eat here almost every week. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We usually visit on a Sunday when there is a set menu. There is a wide choice of meals and you should find something you like. The food and service is excellent. We also occasionally visit on a week night or Saturday. Again the food and service is excellent. This is why we keep going back every week. Well worth a visit.
