Indian Summer in Monmouthshire

This is the tastiest Indian by far . service ,staff ,always greeted with a smile we look forward to our Friday takeaways. Well done indian summer a credit to monmouth

Resturant is well presented and the food is good quality and well priced

Indian Summer has got to have the best indian food in monmouthshire, All the other places cannot compare! my usual order is a chicken madras and the chicken is always tender, the madras is always a perfectly blended creation that you can’t get enough of! I had onion bhajis the other day that were out of this world melted right in my mouth, i was honestly blown away by how good it was.

We were looking to dine in another Monmouth restaurant but they were closed, lucky for us!!!. The Reviews were excellent so we sat down in the restaurant and experienced wonderfully delicious Asian fayre. Service was very personal and helpful. We shall return as truly enjoyed the Date Night. Nearly forgot if you wish to drink alcohol suggest to take it with you as restaurant does not have a Licence

We look forward to our meal every Friday tasty., big portions, friendly service would recommend to anyone

Very over priced for what it was

Totally average, big standard Indian and not that cheap. If other reviewers think this is the best in the area, it says a lot about the area. £4 for a glass of flat coke. Really?

Amusing tiny back street Indian. Nice staff. Nice food . Bring your own booze.

This is not only the best Indian food in Monmouth, it’s the best Indian food we have eaten in the Uk. The staff are friendly, and smiling. The lamb was melt in your mouth, food piping hot, tasty. Go here and nowhere else!

Fabulous night last night buffet for £13.95. Lots to choose from, fantastic value for money.

This is a little tricky to find as one of the streets is closed. Its well worth the effort. The food was very good, my wife described it as the best curry she has ever had. Service and banter were good, as its a BYO price was excellent.

We had a lovely meal in a relaxed setting. Friendly and Sociable staff.

We used to live in the area and religiously got food from this restaurant. We were always happy with the standards and the staff are always so polite and friendly. We decided to eat here as we were visiting family and were really unhappy with the standards. Most of our food was cold on collection (despite their fb stating they won’t deliver to ensure hot food) especially the chips, veg samosas and onion bagis. One of our curries stamped at two chillis on the menu had absolutely no spice to it whatsoever. The cheese and garlic Nan was so overpowering with chunks of garlic. However, the vegetable samosas despite their temperature were delicious, and the tarka Dall! Service was polite and friendly. Just unfortunate the food standards seemed to have dropped in the 6 months we’ve not ordered. We will be ordering elsewhere next time we are visiting.

Amazing takeaway! The staff were so friendly when we went to pick up our food and everything tasted delicious! Definitely recommend.

A small restaurant but very busy. Tidy curry, bring your own booze.

Small but well served back street Indian that delivers great food. Will spice things up well if asked. Can get a little tight when busy. Has been a local favourite for us for a while.

Very quiet on a Friday night but we were very warmly welcomed. Interesting little place, very intimate dining. Took some beers bought at the local one stop and indulged in a huge feast. I am something of a discerning curry fan, and was not in any way disappointed. ALL of the dishes were stunning especially the Tarka Dhal. I also order a side of Madras sauce and chopped coriander, which was happily provided. A wonderful place to eat in Monmouth. Thanks to the staff :)

Bloody hard to find, but well worth it , super friendly service and incredibly fresh ingredients, had duck curry that actually tasted like duck, and the fresh garlic was beautiful. Paratha was super hot and super fresh and fluffy. It’s like fresh immediately hot cooked street food but indoors. Love it.

Amazing Indian ,not easy to find but worth it. Caring ,friendly service ,food was great .

Very good food and best service! Small restaurant that offers take-away too. Service was very good, do a lot to make sure you have everything you need. Loved the food! Would recommend! Bit difficult to find, but pas Punch cafe on the right side, and you will get there.

First time eating in for a long time. Staff warm and welcoming. Good selection on the menu without being over complicated. Food came out promptly, nice and hot. Loved the food and can highly recommended.

Have been to the Indian Summer a few times and went on 4/8/23 with a mate. The food and service was great. Will defo be visiting again when next in Monmouth.

Thoroughly enjoyed every part of the meal. Visiting the area from Lincoln, despite being very busy with takeout orders as well as in the restaurant the waiter was very engaging and checked in with us regularly. 100% would recommend this place.

A truly outstanding experience. Friendly, personable service and really tasty food at very reasonable prices. We went for the set meal for 2 which was enough for the 4 of us. The garlic chicken, in particular was excellent. This place is ever so slightly off the beaten track but it’s well worth it. BYOB as well which only adds to it’s incredible value. No corkage charge either. Give it a try; you will not regret it. We will definitely return when we are next in Monmouth. Thank you Indian Summer!

Absolutely amazing food from this small but beautiful restaurant, friendly staff and excellent value. Take your own alcohol & Discount for cash

It was just an impromptu visit to an Indian restaurant while we were in the town during our holiday. After having awesome food and lovely ambience with soulful music, anyone would wonder how did we come across such a little gem of a restaurant in the middle of a small town. If you are in the town, highly recommend this restaurant for tasty Indian food. Note: We are vegetarian family, but we had a great number of choices to choose from in the menu.

Really disappointed ordered 2 chicken bhuna's I 1xchicken tikka masala and 1x lamb pathia. The tikka masala made my nephew sick cause the chicken was gristly and the bhana tasted like gravy really disappointed £60 wasted

Simply amazing. We're here on holiday and our home village has 3 indian restaurants, their quality pales compared to this one. I had the rogan josh and it was absolutely delicious. It's clear that they take quality very seriously and work hard for their reputation. Hats off!

Been a few times and the food is really slipping, heavily over salted and ingredients missing. Horrifically over priced for what you get. Totally complacent owner/management & chefs riding off previous success, such a shame.

Food and service was the best we’ve had in Monmouth thank you for an extremely good meal 👍👍👍👍

We popped into the Indian Summer restaurant while visiting Monmouth for an early dinner. We were the only diners in the restaurant as they’d only just opened and were made to feel very welcome and the restaurant felt cosy and relaxing. The good was very tasty. Freshly cooked and not at all oily. Very flavourful and nicely presented. The restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol but we were directed to a shop 2 min walk away where we could buy a bottle of wine to have with our meal. Would definitely recommend.

As a local (over 50 years) this is by far the best Indian restaurant/takeaway in Monmouth & over the years I've sat in & had takeaways from them all. Their Madras curry is the best I've had anywhere for flavour & the friendliness of the staff is second to none. So good is the food here at this little tucked away hidden jem that one time I picked up a takeaway Rick Stein was sat down enjoying a curry as he was staying nearby & was recommended to eat here.

Delicious tasty Indian food. Very friendly and competent staff. One of the nicest Indian meals I have had. It was good to be able to take our own wine. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming on a rather miserable night. I would recommend this jewel of a little restaurant to anyone.

Unimpressed. Paneer all but missing from the ordered dish. A triumph of the standard heat and salt over flavour. But I guess that's what the UK market expect. Won't go back.

The wife and I were attending a concert in the Blake theatre last Friday this restaurant opened at 5pm perfect timing prior to the concert. Lovely friendly welcome good choice of menu it was just perfect. The owner was serving us and he made great conversation. The food was very good. The first time for us to visit. Definitely not the last.

Way over priced woke up this morning a thought I’d been robbed

Always excellent, best Indian for miles around

Absolutely first class takeaway tonight, will come back soon.

Lovely food, excellent friendly service and no corkage fees (unlike a local Thai restaurant). My only real criticism was that it was very cold in the restaurant. The naan bread was not the greatest I've ever had. Will definitely be back when the weather warms up a bit.

One star to balance out the unrealistic 4.5/5 at time of dining. Food quality lacking, be ready to explode the following day. Weak on flavour and impact. Manager was friendly and welcoming.

The restaurant had no atmosphere plaster boards leaning against the wall interior works being carried out,very cold just a little fan heater. Service was good food was poor both my wife and I was looking forward to eating here after looking at the reviews how wrong we were. Bot ended up with severe stomach cramps diarrhoea and feeling very unwell. Food constantly repeating in our stomach we left the theatre early after having had the meal as we felt so bad. Not good somehow food rating 5 beyond me looking at the kitchen. Stay away.

The restaurant itself is nothing to write home about - fairly basic - but the food is really good. As regular curry eaters, we can safely say this was really top notch. Beautifully seasoned and spiced food, and very friendly service.

Food is banging working up here definitely the place to eat service is top draw 👌🏾 highly recommended can take drinks in with you (alcohol)

Very small and cramped. Strange chairs, z shaped that tended to tip forward. No bar, this eatery is unlicensed. Poppadoms £1 each, condiments £6for 4 small pots. Nann bread £5, round bought ones instead of fluffy cloud like ones. Prawn Korma was fluorescent yellow with the tiniest shrimps. (The person who had this had a very bad upset stomach. Other members of the party also had dicky tums.) Service was poor with waiter given us dishes to be passed down the table, place was too small and very noisy. So disappointed.

Great service, a bit small and no alcohol licence. But.. The food is exceptional and well presented. Try one of the Rogan Dishes - you won't be disappointed. Large menu with specials and traditional dishes. A worthy finalist in the Best Asian restaurant in Wales for 2022. Large council (paid until 6:00pm) car park adjacent.

This is a very popular unlicensed restaurant and quite rightly so judging by our experience. We discovered it after conversations with the locals who had nothing but praise for it. Finding it wasn't the easiest as it's almost hidden in a path between a very useful car park and the town centre. It is a very small restaurant and to fit you in they have got rather small tables which are quite close together. The room was a bit warm on our night which is never a good thing but we had a great meal here and the service was excellent. Something I have never seen before was a sign offering discount for cash so I suggest visiting the "hole in the wall" beforehand.

Second visit for us four travelling golfers. We made sure to visit this fantastic little restaurant again, just minutes walk from a big Wetherspoons where we stay. Make the effort to find it as you will not be disappointed with the excellent menu and 5star quality food. The welcome from the staff is so so good, wish we lived nearer!

First time visited Monmouth Wales and came across this lovely restaurant. I am blown away by the flavours and texture. It must be one of the best Indians I have had in a very very long time. Will be back when visiting again 😊

These guys managed to squeeze us in last night last minute. Service was fun and welcoming but food was disappointing. Tiny portions of side dishes of tarka dal and bindi bhagee the dal was something I had never seen before more vegetable than lentil and very overpriced. The portion sizes of side dishes were 2 spoonfuls only so how you can say your portions are larger than most baffles me. Would be nice to advise customers that there is a charge for the chutney tray and not just ask if you would like poppadoms

We went here last night 24th June 2022 after walking past many times as the food smells was fantastic. But it was very disappointing we had a poppadoms starter but some of the poppadoms where soft. Had a main meal biryani which was nice but came with no sauce. Tarkadaal I was gobsmacked as the portion size it was like a starter one spoon full it cost 4.95 it didn't even cover the biryani shocking 4 soft drinks 47.pounds well over priced will never return.

Excellent food. Well worth a visit.

We - 5 friends-stayed in Monmouth for the weekend and decided to have an Indian on Sunday evening- having looked at all the options we chose this restaurant and were not disappointed. It was a little tricky to find - tucked down a small alley but the food was delicious and the service very friendly and prompt. Lots of take away orders going out so obviously well known to locals. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back if in area.

Visited Good Friday from Cardiff. Read reviews and restaurant near our hotel and Savoy Theatre. Booked table for 10-15 ish. Called in restaurant totally empty. On a Bank Holiday Friday?? Looking at menu, notice no bottles behind bar. Asks for beers,told beers not served no alcohol. In a curry house??? Apologized and left very disappointed. Have given 5 star review, because we didn't eat here and it would not be fair to leave 1 star.

We have had a few takeaways from here to give it a fair chance but it has been average and inconsistent, it’s just ‘ok’ really nothing special. We always pick a ‘speciality’ dish which tend to have extra ingredients listed in their description. Peppers, fresh tomatoes or chillies etc. but each time they are completely missing from the meal. The curries are also over salted, the last 2 dishes we had were way over salted and one was unnecessarily sweetened. These 'special dishes' are priced between £10.50 and £17.95 and are radically overpriced for what you actually get. The ingredients seem fresh and the staff very friendly but sadly let down by mediocre complacent chefs.

We were told that the Indian Summer was the best Indian restaurant in Monmouth and our visit did not disappoint. The quality of the food was outstanding and we would certainly recommend it to anyone who fancies authentic Indian cuisine. The restaurant is small but intimate. Special mention to Shazam (probably spelled this wrong sorry) who gave us excellent service with a smile. Will definitely make a return visit when next in Monmouth.

Don't know what's happening lately. Food still fresh and high quality meat and great portions but it seems a lot less tasty than it used to be. Dishes have lost something, used to be the best about

If you want a varied menu and a friendly, modern atmosphere... this is the place. If you want to pay £4.50 for a (small !!) Pilau rice.... this is the place. If you want to be charged for the dips with your popadoms..... this is the place.... It's bring your own drinks so it works out in the end

Well worth a visit to Indian summer restaurant. Our family enjoyed a beautiful meal nothing was too much trouble. We struggled to find them so they came and found us. Food was delicious one of the nicest Indians we’ve had. Thank you to all the...

Visited last night with friends, rushed in and out, bland and over priced. The food had far too much colouring. A chapitti should never cost £3.75, it is just supposed to be chapatti flour and water in its basic form.

Food was great and also customer service friendly and polite. Thanks.

I recommend 100% ! Just had a lovely takeaway meal , staff was v friendly, excellent portions sizes , we will be back for sure 😀

Food was tasty. Portions were HUGE, I couldn't finish it. Collection service was a bit funky but I think it was a genuine misunderstanding. Food was prompt & ready when quoted.

Absolutely fabulous meal, will be eating in here again 👍👍

Lovely food and service. Place extremely small with no sale of alcohol. You are allowed to take own though. We really enjoyed the food.

One of the best biryanis that I have ever eaten! Friendly staff, I would 100% recommend this restaurant.

We always used Indian Summer as they were always good. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. The last few times we have used them they have missed off some of the order - the vegetable curry that should go with the Biriani. This has...

Delightful decor, a very good restaurant

Probably the best meal I have had so tasty and fresh shame about the portion sizes left wanting more

Excellent friendly service. Takeaway food was very good and the portions very generous.

Lovely meal this evening! Good food and service. Don’t forget it’s bring your own alcohol. Really enjoyed everything!

We ordered here for a takeaway for 20 people. It was delicious, hot and fresh tasting. Good value too. We would all order from here again. Veggie items were particularly delicious for the vegetarians.

After many months of takeaways from here during the lockdowns ,it was great to get back into the restaurant for a meal. We went with a group of friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit . As usual the service was excellent , allowing...

Very nice restaurant, friendly service fabulous food, probably the best we have had. The onion bahjis nice and crisp, good size portions in the curry lots of flavour perfectly seasoned. Sadly as we are visiting the area I won't be able to partake of the food here on a regular basis, will definitely recommend, it is tucked out of the way, because of this,they work very hard to maintain an excellent service and standard well done they work very hard to make what they do appear effortless

Excellent food in a surprisingly nice & classy restaurant - not necessarily what you expect from the outside. Good menu with a wide choice of vegan & vegetarian dishes. Food was delicious and arrived on the table with little waiting. All staff were polite and...

After waiting an hour and a half being overlooked by people collecting takeaways. Seemed to have priority over diners food eventually arrived if that's what it could be called. Chicken madras consisted of 5 pieces of chicken and bowl of rice minuite amount costing 4.10...

Very nice food but slow because of takeaways sat next to the door ques next to us whilst eating . Not very nice to have people stood whilst waiting for your meal. Waited 30 mins to order because of people ordering on the phone.told 25...

Unfortunately we did not stay long here as we went in a heatwave and the restaurant was sweltering. We decided to have a takeaway instead, which was prepared quickly and was delicious. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff.

Great place with nice ambience !! Retro Indian music in the background , superb choice. Nicely prepared dishes with good portion size. Entrance is behind other buildings and can be slightly confusing. There is parking behind the restaurant. Marking 5 stars for overall experience.

Amazing food served in a very friendly atmosphere,chicken madras and chicken rogan cooked perfectly ,you can take along your own alcohol 🍷 🍺 which is a plus,I can highly recommended this restaurant

Quick service, very friendly staff and nice looking restaurant. Good quality meat and lots of it. Good meat to sauce ratio. Naan’s (garlic, plain and keema) were quite disappointing.

We visit Monmouth regularly as we have a caravan there and this is the only time I have Indian take away food as it is the only place I enjoy it. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble and the 10% discount...

Delicious Indian food! Quick service, friendly host and very reasonably priced.

Brilliant service fantastic food A+

Time after time we order and the quality is always as good as the time before. Another fantastic meal from the best Indian in the area in my opinion

By far the best Indian food in the Monmouthshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire area.

Thanks so much for acknowledging the work of the Foodbank. The curry you kindly offered gratis tonight was really superb, expertly created and perfectly balanced. I cannot praise you and your team too highly. Perfection Thank you so much.

First time had a takeaway this evening absolutely delicious will be back

Food was fantastic with quick service and friendly staff. Cooked a dish that was not on the menu to suit dietary preferences. Highly recommend

I would give this place 6 stars if I could, the food is always excellent and really fresh, hidden gem of a restaurant. The chicken rezela is stunning. The staff are great aswell. 👌👌👌👌👌

Broken items everywhere, not fit for purpose. Even the hinges on the doors were faulty. Food was good though 👍

My family and I were on holiday in Wales and found this Indian we placed a very large order and the man was very helpful on the phone. When I arrived to pick up very friendly staff and all 4 orders were complete. Food was...

We stayed at a local hotel that didn't have an evening restaurant and we were allowed to bring a take away in with us. We were recommended this place by our hotels barman who was local.It didn't disappoint! Delicious food, lots of it (enough for...

Got a takeaway curry from here whilst staying nearby on holiday. The curry was one of the best I'd ever had in the UK. I went for a Ada roshan and my partner went for the Buna duck special. The Paratha was done really well. It was an extremely enjoyable addition to our holiday.

Always fabulous. We guiltily tried a new takeaway last time and completely regretted the decision. Indian Summer comes up trumps every time. We have tried loads of different dishes and each one has been fab. Shaz and the team are brilliant too, can't praise them enough xCan't wait for the sit in restaurant to open again.

Very pleasented surprised very nice.

Had two takeaways recently and enjoyed both. Service good - food ready and waiting for collection. Staff very friendly. Unless you have a huge appetite don’t get carried away as the portions are generous.

Really delicious food (biryani was especially good), great fast service, reasonable prices compared to others in the area. Takeaway only at the moment, but a small amount of seating inside for when things return to normal. My new favourite Indian in Monmouth.

I was recommended this Indian takeaway by a friend and it certainly didn't disappoint. The curries we had were packed full of flavour and everything was cooked perfectly. Prices were very reasonable and can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes too. Was easy to ring up, place an order and get a time of collection with social distancing measures in place on arrival. Thank you!

Best chicken korma I've ever had!!!!
