We ordered takeaway from the Indian Lounge whilst we were away on holiday. As we weren’t comfortable staying in a restaurant due to COVID we’d looked up takeaway places in Llandovery, and as there weren’t many we decided to go here, but we were very disappointed. When calling to order the man who answered sounded as though he didn’t want to be there, answering with a massive sigh! Then after ordering two mains, rice and a naan we were told it would be ready to collect in 10 minutes, which gave me concern. Unfortunately, we were right to be fearful. The two mains were very bland, particularly the Korma, the rice in my opinion had been frozen as there was a layer of water underneath it, that was after pouring plenty away. The naan was the only good thing.

A group of 6 of us stayed in LLandovery for a weekend August bank holiday and booked a table at the Indian Lounge, well as soon as we sat down we should have known not to have stayed, our table and cutlery was so sticky we could only think it was from mango chutney from the night before, it went all over the sleeve of my top as i was not expecting a dirty table to sit down at. We asked if they could clean the table but were moved to another table where i found a AA battery on the seat, we made a light joke about it and also found the Cutlery on the other table felt oily but again we laughed it off and said we cannot complain yet again. so yet to order....The drinks order came out wrong but we could live with that......Starters.... i must have to say the starters were nice, but then it went downhill yet again.When the mains came out they missed 1 whole meal completely, i was told mine was a jalfrezi when infact it was a dish my husband had ordered i had already dished some of it up when Chef (the waiter) grabbed it and said NO and moved it to the end of the table, we told him we were one dish short, so i then had to wait for mine when all other 5 meals had been placed on our table for approx 5 min, but the worst was yet to come, when the naan breads were brought out to be served The Waiter 'Chef' as we later found out was his name, lifted up our naan bread peeling it apart with he's fingers to see if it was keema naan or a plain naan, then dumped it back on our table and walked over to another table and served 2 ladys on a table opposite. i overheard one of the lady's inform him the toilet was leaking and he replied yes yes we know. this was only 6.30 - 7pm so not even after a busy evening but just the start of the evening and they knew the toilets were broken. The whole evening the poor waitress looked very uncomfortable and when we asked for the bill, we asked for a reduction due to wrong orders and the service we recieved, she told us to wait for Chef and he will speak to us, he made us wait for over 10 mins until we decided to get up and walk to the bar, he soon came running over and said he would knock off 1 drink, we replied thats not quite enough for the service we had recieved, we infomred him we were willing to pay £95 instead of £112. Chef then started shouting quite loudly 'You are 'Rude' 'Very Rude People' so all could hear in the restaurant. That was no way , management should react and speak with customers but then he did seem to have bad customer skills from the start, we still felt we paid more than enough for what it was worth, sadly with a mixture of dirty tables not just 1, wrong drinks order, waiter otherwise called Chef by staff opening up a naan bread infront of us to see which one it was with he's fingers, then having to wait for a missed meal the service did not warrant paying full price, I have never not paid for a meal and been in such a awful place and will never return to this place. We also mentioned on way home there was no details taken from anyone of us for track and trace either in this current situation with Covid 19.

The Indian Lounge has reopened and has offered us all a take out service during these difficult times. Onion Bhajis were lovely and crispy.Lamb Dhansak and Prawn Suka were delicious, Pilau rice cooked just right. The nice curries have helped cheer us up . Well done to the chef and management.

Whilst on holiday in Llandovery we decided to visit this restaurant for a evening meal.Having looked at the reviews it seemed a safe choice.However, on arriving in the Restaurant, the scruffy decor and overpowering smell of stale cooking fat, told us otherwise.The waiter was helpful and cheerful as we ordered a shared starter of tandoori lamb chops.Chops arrived burnt and blackened, which I then realised they had been cooked, frozen and reheated, as the one mouthful we did have was full of shattered bone!!! I’m use to food being cooked fresh in the restaurants I normally frequent.Having been disappointed with the starter which we sent back, I decided to look on the food standard agency website to see the hygiene rating for the Restaurant. I discovered it has a rating of ‘1’1!!!!My experience of being an infection control nurse in previous years, and working closely with the environmental health team made me aware that a rating of ‘1’ means that the kitchen has some serious issues involving rodents and or cockroaches!!!On discovering this, we cancelled our order and left!!Much to the disgust of the waiter and the chef!!!Tough, I am not eating/ paying for food from an establishment which still functions with a rating of ‘1’So in essence, starters very poor, cannot comment of mains as didn’t stay.Not recommended !!

I’ve had the pleasure of have a couple of days away for a long weekend. I’ve been staying in a b&b just outside Llandovery & on a quick Google search found the Indian Lounge for my Saturday evening meal. I did have a few reservations after reading the reviews on here, but I needn’t have worried. Albeit a little quiet for a weekend night, I had a fantastic meal & quite honestly couldn’t fault anything, the service was attentive & the food very good. When I’m this way again, will definitely be eating here.

I visited the Indian Lounge with some friends whilst touring Wales. The food was good, not particularly spicy but full of flavour and presented in a pleasant manner. The presentation of the restaurant itself needs some work - whilst the food was good, it wasn’t a particularly pleasant place to eat it in.

8 of us had been to Llanelli to watch a game of rugby. We checked TripAdvisor for a good indian and unfortunately it gave us this resteraunt. We were served pretty quickly and over cooked poppadoms were served. The decor was poor. Fake flowers everywhere. There was the days post one of my friends picked up to read. We had a long wait for the main meals and when they arrived my rice was cold and the curry was luke warm. The keema naan wasnt overly bad. Around the table all 8 were not impressed. Cold rice oily Currys. There were plastic covers on top of what i can only say was wrinkled filthy white linen. Throught the night i recieved messaged from all of my party who all have had upset stomachs. We legt pretty promptly for our long drive home! We will never go here again! I hate negative reviews but this one was necessary!

The restaurant did not seem to want our service. We had been walking all day and needed to eat the door outside that they opened at 5.00 and we got there at 5.25 and they said they were not open. But allowed us in begrudgingly. We given the menus we were not given a chance to pursue the menu.. we ordered and want to wash our hands before we ate. The toilets were less than satisfactory. The food was okay standard but not spicy enough for us - so we asked for more chilli and were refused! The whole experience was despicable and would avoid at all costs...

Ordered a Chicken Jalfreze with Pilar rice for a main meal and it was surprisingly good. Very tasty. With a bottle of Cobra the bill came to just over £16.00. Great value for money.

Saw a review on trip advisor and thought we would go here for my birthday treat. I had the chops to start with cheese on top which were delicious,my better half had the lamb tikka which was also delicious. We were asked if we would like a break between courses which was lovely as we both find that more relaxing. For main course i had the Aloo chicken which was the nicest ive ever had as the amount of spinach was amazing,my better half had the chicken rogan josh which was also gorgeous. The portions were massive and we were both very full especially after 2 large glasses of red wine which were also lovely.

The biggest problem at this restaurant is midge the Asian guy who works behind the bar he dose not speak to customers politely and treats his work colleges like rubbish worst place to work or go in llandovery they get orders wrong. There customer service is not great and midge picks off the plate of food that's been orders before he brings it to customers. he got his hands on the food so hygiene is a nother issue. I would not recommend to anyone if u want dirty hands or bad customer service then this is the place to go so if u want food that not very clean once it hits ya table this is defiantly the best place to go. I advise people to stay away from this place and go els were for food

Our bill was over £85 and the only complimentaries they could manage was 2 free poppadoms (it was going to be 1), one lot of free bhajees which we didn't eat, a tub of riata which no one wanted and a couple of pots of the usual. Contrast this to our local, free poppadoms, free usual tubs of goodies, free side dish and all this when spending less than £25.It would have been better if they'd knocked a percentage off the bill rather than give extra stuff that went in the bin.The food was nice and my Korma was lovely with coconut. The naans were on the small side though. The veg curry accompanying the biryani could have been toned down a degree or two, a too spicy dish with a milder one.Liked the nice touch it was carried to the car.

To mark a significant impending birthday I asked my son where would he and the family like to celebrate the event. Living locally, the response was the Indian Lounge.Arriving promptly at 6.00 p.m. our party of 8 which included three young children, were cordially welcomed and shown to comfortable seating that was ideally located in the rather spacious restaurant. Once settled into our seats individual orders were placed from the wide choice of dishes on the main menu and drinks chosen from a good selection on offer to complement the meal. From entry until departure the standard of service provided throughout was first class and the food consumed fully met with our expectations.With a boisterous 3 year old lady within our group I was conscious of the privacy of fellow diners and in this context I have generally found it reassuring that both management and staff in Indian restaurants are particularly good in handling children, as was the case at the Indian Lounge.To sum up, a very enjoyable occasion which I hope can be repeated at some future date.

When the owner respectfully meets his customers to see how they have enjoyed their meal; that is somthing to treasure. He wants the best from his staff and provodes a great meal. Not expensive, but middle of the range pricing. If you want a great night out or a quick bite, the Indian Lounge is by far the best in Wales! You won't be disappointed! :)

We arrived at 6:00 as a group of 6 and were shown to a lovely table near the window in a vacant dining room. At first the solo waiter came across a bit grumpy but soon had a sudden change of mood once we had settled in. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would give the food alone 4 out of 5 however there were a few issues overall: Both large coke drinks ordered were flat and one of the party mentioned that the chicken in her Jalfrezi was cold. After our mains we were asked if we wanted anything else; to which we replied "Tea and Coffee?" only to be told that there was no tea or coffee... or in fact any deserts available at all. Before we left one of our group had a lengthy conversation with the now hospitable waiter about how 'dead' the town can be on a weekday. So, perhaps a shock visit by a large group mid-week was unsettling and made the Indian Lounge fall short of expectations. All in all it was an enjoyable meal and we would return again next time we visit, perhaps on a busier night!

The efficiency of the service was excellent, the quality, value for money and the meal presentation was outstanding. Quite simply one of the best Indian restaurants in the UK. Do try the Coconut Icecream.

Me and my girlfriend went here on the second night of a break away. I had the chicken tikka balti which was good and the peshwari nann was packed full of filling. My girlfriend had a tikka masala, this came in a watery sauce and had a lot of very poor quality chicken in, some bits were grey! When asked how our meal was my girlfriend told them this and the response was "well everyone else is happy" - great customer service! The owner then came out to find out what the problem was and all he was concerned about was whether we lived in the area, when he found out that we didn't he simply said "well if you ever come back I will make it better" basically admitting that it wasn't the best! Overall a disappointing meal with poor service from the staff (the women in there was lovely)

We called in on a Thursday on what is called "banquet" night which amounts to choosing a starter, main and rice or naan at a reduced price. The choice was from most of the standard menu. I had a beef dish and naan and my starter was prawn patia with puri. Everything was very good and I liked the way the prawn patia was served in a dish with the puri on the side thereby keeping the bread in a better condition. I do like the Indian Lounge as do the others in my party. The Chef always takes time to visit your table and is genuinely interested in your views.

Been with family for a quick dinner. It's a decent restaurant for a small town. Didn't expect an Indian style restaurant here. Chicken tikka Biryani was good. However quantity is bit less compared to other restaurants.

Nicest I've had in a very long time and the service was second to none, would have to go along way to get better.Very friendly staff, couldn't do enough... Highly recommend..... Definitely our new regular

This is my first bad review of place as I don't usually like to focus on the bad stuff but make reference to it unfortunately I think it's only fair if I give you an honest review of how this place made me feel. We arrived and requested a table for 8 they put two tables together to accommodate us. We ordered our drinks and poppadoms, the cokes and diet cokes come from 2 litre bottles which are not not done up properly so they were flat. We informed the drinks were not flat as they had come from a bottle, but they were changed none the less.Our food arrived, although not altogether so we were left waiting for chips and one order of egg fried rice arrived as boiled rice (we did changed this order at the table but obviously weren't heard)? One of the orders was for a chicken passanda but a lamb one was sent out (the chef was more than happy to change this so). Another order was a chicken and mushroom balti, warning this was extremely spicy. So meal eaten and time to pay the bill. We'd asked for the bill to be prepared as three separate bill but were told this couldn't be done so we were to go to the till and inform the waiter what we had had Person A went and stated what they had had was given the price and paid. Person B gave their order and then paid, but then questioned why the passanda had been Inputted in on the calculator as £7.50 but the bill said £6.95. He then Inputted the prices again and got another price £5.00 cheaper than the original bill!!! Person A came back stating they had looked at the menu and believed they too had been overcharged another recalculation was done and yep you've guessed it another refund as we'd been overcharged. Kingfisher has been Inputted for person A as £3.50 but person B had been charged £4.50 so another £1 refund given. Finally person C is given a price and then the waiter totalled up the bill plus the prices that persons A and B had paid another overcharged. The waiter then proceeded to give us bad attitude about the bill and the price person C was to pay before the chef came out and told him to be quiet and kept apologising on their behalf. Because of this one member of staff I can't recommend this restaurant. Bad customer service, arguing at every opportunity, calling us liars and refusing to accept he'd overcharged us despite what his calculator was saying. Make sure if you do decide to go that you know what your bill is.

Vanavond in dit indiaas restaurant gegeten. We hadden niet geboekt en kregen een tafel toegewezen dat gelegen was bij de ingang vh restaurant. Er waren voldoende andere tafels beschikbaar. We hadden onze jassen nog niet uit en werden direct gevraagd wat we wilden drinken. Op mijn vraag of ze ook Engels bier schonken werd er bijna geïrriteerd gereageerd met wat ze wél hadden. Nadat onze drankjes geserveerd waren, werd vrijwel direct en bijna opdringerig gevraagd of al wilden bestellen. Daar hadden we nog niet eens tijd voor gekregen. Het eten was redelijk tot goed. De vegatarische schotel was niet bijz. De kip madras was prima. Alsook de heerlijke kokosnan. Irritant was een steeds herhalende luide piep van een ontregeld alarm. Ook het gedrag van de obers was irtitant. Ze waren zo nadrukkelijk aanwezig dat er van een ontspannen etentje geen sprake was. Voor ons reden om zonder dessert en of koffie zsm het restaurant te verlaten.

We were in early so the only ones there, and yes the waiter did his hovering bit, but I'd rather have a vigilant waiter then someone fiddling on their phone in the background!Good portions of tasty food, lovely yellow rice and all washed down with a cobra.No complaints from us!

Went on a busy Saturday night and service was very good, Both of us being curry lovers were delighted with the curries that we had. Both curries were very different and both were as equally good as each other. Extremely good value and the staff were very attentive and helpful. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a good curry,. We will definitely return,.

we needed our usual quick bite to eat, a Tuesday in March in Llandovery will never be jam packed, we are the only ones in, but the chef and waiter looked after us magnificently, our meals were fresh cooked to order of the midweek £9.95 menu, and brilliant they were too

Because we were the only ones the owner kept standing at our table to talk to us. While he was nice, it felt a bit weird. They did however put out all the food again for just us.

Une journée de folie : nous avons crevé sur une petite route Galoise...Le temps d'être pris en charge (et retrouvé par la dépanneuse) nous sommes arrivés à l'hôtel à 22h30. Dans tout Llandovery seul ce resto indien était ouvert et servait jusqu'à 23h. Cuisine indienne classique et service sans problème (mais nous étions les seuls à cette heure). Bref heureux !

First impression is very promising. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very welcoming. They have Cobra & Kingfisher on draught. Menu looks good with many favourites and specials. I went for my usual Chicken Jalfrezi. Whilst it was difficult to criticise it, it wasn't anything special. Others may like it. I didn't spot another curry house in town, so if you are wanting a curry it may be worth a try

The Sunday buffet which was advertised until 11pm had actually stopped being served at 10pm. My girlfriend and I opted for takeaway instead and chose one of the set meals for two (£16.95). The food arrived around 10 mins after ordering, so can't have been freshly prepared.The lamb tikka and lamb jalfrezi were fatty and chewy, both with poor flavour. The chicken bhuna was a little better, but both curry dishes were oily. The peshwari naan and pilau rice were ok, but both a strange and unappetising yellow colour. Onion bhaji was dry and chewy.To summarise, the lamb meat was almost inedible and the rest of the food was mediocre at best. We will not be returning.

First time eaten in this restaurant, the food was very good, even my husband that doesn't like to eat Indian food out, enjoyed the meal and went for seconds!!!!! We went for a Birthday celebration and I took the Birthday cake, which was happily presented. The waiter was very courteous. We will go back there for another Indian Meal

Take away was not good. We arrived for collection and the waiters ignored us with a queue forming. Once we were acknowledged (10 mins later) and got our food home...it was cold! We only live 10mins away. The poppadoms were soft and the naan had obviously been left in the insulating bag for way too long it was stone cold and damp. Not recommended a all.

We have eaten in The Indian Lounge many times and are regulars at the take-away counter too. We have enjoyed every last mouthful of the excellent food and have tried most items on the menu now. The food is inexpensive and the surroundings are very restful. This place is highly recommended.

Dwbi's Restaurantlocation-icon9 Carmarthen RdIndian

Dwbis is a small restaurant (take away) that serves delicious authentic Indian food - It has become a meeting place for myself and work colleagues within Carmarthenshire who don't wish to travel far. I have tried many things on the menu over the years and never regretted any of my choices. Tasty, authentic and plentiful with cheerful service too.

With take always in Llanelli, they are rushed and taste like they came out bulk. With this food, it has no hairs or germs and tastes wonderful,the staff was great and didn't mind having a conversation. Although the food was a little slow, it's worth it and the bad reviews are not actually true. Nice sides aswell of the decour.
