Mehfil's in Pembrokeshire

We went as a group to celebrate my father’s birthday, he’s a regular there as the food is so good and the owner/staff are such pleasant people. The food is brilliant, arrives quickly, tastes amazing. The staff are hospitable, kind, friendly, best Indian in west Wales! Thank you again, always love to visit.

Have used this restaurant many times but took wife out for Mother’s Day treat both had king prawn dishes £14.95 each ,nice and tasty but only 3 prawns each £5 per prawn what’s going on? Was told I’ll make sure chef gives you more next time (will there be a next time?)

Last time I went was over 7 years ago and I was not very impressed. The last few times have been a treat. They do a great tandoori tahli and they gladly alter the curry sauce that comes with it . So I make mine chicken vindaloo. A great vindaloo.

Absolutely amazing food. Great welcome, service, and again great food Would definately recommend to others. Will visit again

Excellent takeaway! Best Indian restaurant in the area. Great service and fantastic food. Would definitely recommend a visit.

best curry house in pembrokeshire weve found yet, great vegetarian selection, friendly people too , use them as the go to all the time

Unfortunately my takeaway prawn tikka masala was so sweet as to be inedible. I couldn't taste any spices or chilli at all, just double sugar. If I had been eating in I would have sent the dish back - something I never do - but alas it was a takeaway so it just ended up in the bin. Should've gone to Tesco for a ready meal! Edit: it's a shame I only checked afterwards - someone else chose the takeaway - but unfortunately this restaurant has a 1/5 for food hygiene - and no, it's not 'just paperwork'! https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/857225/mehfils-indian-pembroke

A very pleasant meal. Excellent staff. Nice food. Could have had a bit more veg in the curries but that's pretty minor.

Got straight into sit down without a booking. Staff polite and courteous despite being very busy with takeaway orders. Had Chicken Tikka Balti, Egg Pilau Rice and an absolutely insane Cheesy Keema Naan. Will certainly be visiting again.

Amazing food service great 👍 definitely recommend

Great Indian food served here. Very fresh and tasty. Good understanding of food allergies. Good service and reasonably priced

Delisious!!! I had the chicken ceylon and oh my goodness I've never tried anything as wonderfully aromatic, fruity and tasty as this dish.

Absolutely disgusting restaurant. And if you go with your family they will try and rob you by forcing to order more curry. They have their own house rule that if you go to have a dinner for family of four you have to order Minimum four curries. They are happy for us to waste food as long as their Pocket get filled but they need to understand that rather than forcing people let them buy what they want because they are the one who is paying money and it’s their money not yours.

It's a shame, Mehfil's got so much of my takeaway order right, but so much wrong. I ordered a mixed starter and a Tandoori Thali. Sadly the Onion Bhaji came in a tray with other ingredients instead of a paper bag, so was thoroughly soggy. This is minor. What really annoyed was the taste of golden syrup in the Tikka Masala sauce - it overpowered the whole thing. Very disappointing. There was a lot right though - generous portions, fast preparation and delivery, and pretty much all good (apart from the soggy bhaji).

Went in on one night and had the best Indian I've ever had anywhere in the UK. I went in the next evening and the food was rubbish. Staff were very nice on both occasions

Really enjoyed the food which was delicious. Plenty of choice for adults and kids. Service was excellent and staff friendly.

Had a very nice dining experience here, a decent Vindaloo with mountains of pilau rice, staff were attentive however there was a bit of a wait for the food. Would definitely go again.

The food was lovely and delicious. It came out in a timely matter. However, the service could be a bit better.

What a surprise! Absolutely fantastic place, really unexpected… delicious and fresh. We know a little bit about Indian food and this place really surprised us, more about the complex flavours and not covering up lack of flavour with slice which is becoming all too often in the Uk. Really really good, would stay in the area again just to eat here.

Absolutely amazing restaurant fantastic food probably the best Indian food I have ever had great fast service absolutely recommending

Had a takeaway. said it was going to be half an hour, was waiting for just over an hour. By the time my food arrived it was cold and when I was eating it there were multiple short black hairs in my food. So disappointing as normally very nice!

Bad service by restaurant staff. Don't spoil your day with this restaurant.

Had been here while travelling through a road trip in Wales, stopped for some comfort food which is Indian for me. The service from the start of the seating was bad to worse from the start to the end, we were treated with looks and comments when we asked for larger plates for starters, the portions were really really small for the prices and the food was satisfactory. We had ordered a veg biriyani without mushrooms, which they have with mushrooms, which they replaced it, but forgot about the veg gravy side. The worst part was the waiter didn't even give us a heads up about the portions else we could have ordered more, felt like he was waiting to get done with our table! The entire staff apart from the lady was rude, I've worked in hospitality for quite some time and this has been one of the most appalling! Asking them for water was treated with looks from the waiters! Horrible experience!

We tried the food today and the customer service(old guy who look bald)was very rude and not upto the mark.We have asked for an extra plate and the waiter was not ready to give the extra plate as if we are going to steal the plate and go home with that.

If you enjoy cheaply sourced poultry meat and obviously defrosted and cooked quickly so that you end up with a tasteless and chewey meal - then this is the place for you - and are happy to pay through the nose for it - then more fool you!

Great food here. Highly recommend.

Just moved into the area . Really impressed with food quality and extremely warm and friendly staff.

We were in Pembrokeshire on holiday & happened upon Mehfil’s whilst looking for a fish & chip shop. We decided to have an Indian instead, turned out to be the best Indian I’ve ever had and I’ve traveled far & wide. Excellent food - Excellent service - nothing was too much trouble 5* any day.

Ordered a takeaway whilst away arrived within 40 mins was piping hot the food was lovely best Indian I’ve tasted will be booking to dine in next time I’m in Pembroke . Highly recommend!

Been there couple of times each year we go on holiday had lovely food each time

We were attracted to this restaurant by the tempting smell as we drove past. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly host who fitted us in the crowded restaurant, even though we hadn't booked. We ordered a variety of dishes all of which were cooked to perfection; flavoursome, fulfilling and exceeding all our expectations. The chef's special, Lamb Naga, was particularly tasty. As were the other dishes we tried including chicken jalfrezi and saag paneer. For the youngest in our family, the host and chef were very accommodating and provided her favourite off-the-menu request. If we're ever in the area again, we'll be sure to pop in. Highly recommend.

Muy rica comida hindú. El trato de los camareros es muy bueno.

We arrived at Mehfils and it was silent. Only one other table was taken and there was no music/background sound which was my first red flag. The owner greeted us and showed us to our table. There was two male members of staff present who were serving/taking orders and they both stood behind the bar just staring in SILENCE, making us feel extremely uncomfortable. We had our drinks orders taken and then our food. I watched my mum’s “Diet Coke” be poured from a half empty Diet Coke bottle and it was not chilled and it was flat as anything. Whilst waiting, another couple arrived, looked rather spooked by the atmosphere. Next thing a customer comes in looking rather unhappy, the owner starts shouting CHEF CHEF loudly and rudely disturbing the restaurant. He took the customer into the back of the restaurant and we could hear them shouting and swearing as the customer wanted a refund for the bad food he had received the night before. Shortly after the couple that came in after us had been seated, they left whilst saying they “changed their minds”. I too wish I had “changed my mind” at this point. Our food arrived and they forgot one rice dish but we didn’t mind as it came rather quick however my prawn biryani was extremely bland. My vegetable curry and cauliflower bahji was lovely as was my mum’s tandoori chicken Karhai which I told the owner at the end of our meal. I did also mention that I thought my prawn biryani didn’t have much taste and he looked at me and laughed very intimidatingly whilst saying “it’s vegetables, rice and prawns”. Although yes that is true however I have had much nicer/flavorful prawn biryanis. The owner definitely cannot take criticism in any form even though I was extremely polite about it. Will not be returning as the whole experience was awkward and uncomfortable. Do not recommend.

We found one Indian place to dine in after a long search but it wasn't worth it . The food was sweet and blan and when I asked the waiter of the chef forgot to add salt and chilli and added sugar syrup instead the answer was this is what they do. The lamb chops I ordered were so small and lot of burnt but not cooked properly onions and lot of colourings and didn't taste nice . The kasmiri lamb curry I ordered was also sweet and the bhindi was sweet too. The rice seemed like few days old and semi fried. I wouldn't recommend waste your money and time at this place

I had vegetable korma and my husband had chicken massala; both were fabulous. The portions were large and so we finished our meals off the next day. We included aloo gobi and had a free bombay aloo. It was just great. Very professional and pleasant service. We'll certainly be having anothert takeaway from there.

Just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic meal absolutely beautiful thanks

Ordered delivery whilst on holiday in the area from these guys, food arrived on time but was missing items and the bill on delivery came in £15 more than the menu suggested (for an order for 4 people that seems too much!) Missing bits were delivered 40mins later which delayed our dinner but no explanation or solution given for over charge? This could have been slightly forgiven but The food itself was average at best, I’m sure there must be better Indian restaurants in the area.

Just had a delivery takeaway meal with my wife, the food was excellent couldn't fault it, delivered to time requested, can't wait to eat in the restaurant.

Very friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you all! We particularly recommend the salmon.

Absolutely stunning food. Best curry we’ve all had in ages.We couldn’t fault anything.Staff we’re very friendly and helpful. Will be coming back.Thank you

Poor service when we arrived We weren’t made to feel welcome. The chairs had the faux leather peeling, the table top was rickety and half the lights weren’t working. We were told to sit where we liked by the young girl serving, it seemed to be her first night working there as she had no idea and couldn’t even answer the phone when it rang (not her fault she’s young and probably had no training). Waiter who took our order was as miserable as sin, never smiled and could barely force himself to serve us. Had to wait ages for the drinks to arrive. The starters we had were at best poor, mine was a mixed starter which seemed to be deep fried and was as tough as old boots. The mains were as disappointing although the pilau rice was tasty. Nan breads were burnt on the base. I could go on but it was certainly the worst experience I’ve had of an Indian restaurant. Won’t be going back.

After experiencing some disappointing indian meals in west wales this was the best we have had. I asked for a meal that wasn't on the menu, it was cooked with no fuss and it was better than anything I have had previously.

Food was good, owner was nice as we asked for a starter to share and they gave us one for free. Staff was friendly. Only thing is that the wine the waiter recommended us wasn't great and he didn't let us try it first, plus though there was plenty of space they sit us in front of the fridge.

Absolutely delicious . No complaints . Friendly owner .Wish I lived closer

Too much turmeric and oil. Ketchup in marination, too much salt.

Ordered food delivered last week, generous portions, froze what I didn't eat and finished it last night. Absolutely the best chicken vindaloo ever. I will be back.

Another one of the Bangladeshi guys running a restaurant under Indian name with very less knowledge of authentic Indian taste. This is the case almost everywhere in the UK and people dont know what they are missing.

We decided for our first Indian in the Dock, we’d order from Mehfil’s and I wish we hadn’t. I HATE giving bad reviews, but we were so unhappy with our order. We rang the number to put our order through and the guy couldn’t understand...

What a revelation this place turned out to be. From such an unassuming exterior and unremarkable decor the food was exceptional. Whether it was because it was a quiet Wednesday night or not I don't know, but the owner took our party of 5 to the back room and prepared individual dishes to order, not off the menu at all. One of our party has an onion and garlic allergy and was resigned to ordering a plan 'English' dish but instead was treated to an amazing chicken curry. All 5 of us agreed this ranked amongst the best Indian restaurant food we had eaten which was no mean feat when there were 3 African Indian Asians in our group. I just wish this restaurant was in my town and not 250 miles away.

We always enjoy our monthly curry nights with home delivery. Sometimes we try other indians but always find ourselves coming back to Mehfils. Food is lovely and pretty consistent. Naan breads are even better recently! They are efficient on the phone, and the delivery driver...

We've eaten Indian food all around Pembrokeshire in the past 3 weeks and this was the best! We had two vegetarian dishes recommended by the chef and were quite pleased.

Mehfils catered for our large private event for our friends and family in May this year, and the food was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed the meal. They catered so well for our vegan friends, and we all enjoyed the food. The service was impeccable. This is...

Friendly staff, the tastiest food. We have never had a bad word to say about our visits. Always a treat

Don't be put off by the outside this is a great Indian restaurant with wonderful food and attentive staff. The food was some of the best Indian food we've had and the salmon special went down particularly well.

Great food, great service .one of the best Currys that I have tasted . The menu had a great range of food to choose from

Very nice and friendly people. Unfortunately, can't say the same about the food. Taste and quality weren't great at all.

The staff were friendly. The food was tasty. The price was acceptable although the wine was expensive for what it was. Not a great deal of choice of dessert. Not a great deal of atmosphere. Had a good night though and the food came out promptly and hot!

Cracking food, lovely host who offered recommendations to those who were unsure. Good restaurant and would recommend to my friends

Went here with a group of 8. Service was excellent, the waiter joined in with the evening and not just took orders but offered recommendations to those who asked, felt welcomed and would recommend to anyone in the area.

Food rated 6/10 by actual Indian person and 8/10 by welsh valleys boy. Staff great and friendly :)

Very nice food and good portion size, delivery is fast, friendly staff

Ordered a takeaway and was told it would be delivered in 45 minutes to an hour. This time came and went and when I phoned to enquire 1 hour 40 minutes later I was told it’s just leaving the restaurant. When it arrived it was...

Food is consistently lovely, the best sit down Indian around. Owner and staff lovely. Can't beat Mehfil's.

Been a few times, lush food 😍 And the host is always lovely and sparks up conversation. Nice place to go, lovely lights and table set ups. Definitely recommend dining in. Or even a takeaway, they are pretty quick with their orders.

We went here on New Year's day, not many places open to eat. The food was outstanding! I think it was the best Indian food I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend the mixed vegetable passander. Very tasty, fruity, spicy enough, could taste the...

Food wasn’t edible! We were on a weekend road trip to Whales from England. After driving and seeing places all day long, we had decided to go to Indian restaurant since we were starving and didn’t want to experiment with different cuisines. We found this place online and thought it looks good so let’s go there! First thing we felt was cold, I don’t they cared about keeping the place cozy but it wasn’t a big deal since we were there for food! So as long as we get good food, we are grand! When I saw the dish I’d ordered, I was shocked to see the appearance! It was a chicken dish - but chicken was dry as hell! I barely took small bite of it and it just felt bad, so I didn’t touch a single piece, just pick vegetables and get done with my meal! Plates were unclean - I mean they did try and keep them clean but they were so old that grease went into cracks of plates which I think is nearly impossible to be cleaned! Song that they were playing were like laughing matter in the beginning but became like irritating at the end since that music didn’t get along at all with the vibe you expect when go for dinner ( I am Indian myself and I just couldn’t handle that music). Conclusion - Not recommended. I wish I had seen a review like this earlier so I could avoid spending money on inedible food.

Yet to have a meal here which is anything but 100%

We ordered (take away), prawn curry which was like a desserts and with tiny prawns gone in to the bin , rice was ok , okra was good , there was tons of sugar almost in everything, most of the food was very bland !...

We were in the area on holiday and fancied a takeaway. We had clearly not ordered from here before but TA write ups looked promising. We only had to wait 20 mins so had a walk around Pembroke and when we got back to our...

Food was ok. Not as good as our visits in the previous four years. Service was rubbish. We sat with dirty plates and no drinks after our meal for over 20 minutes. It wasn’t busy, there was only us two and a table of three in the restaurant. Both waiters where engrossed in their mobile phones, more interested in playing chess that checking if customers wanted anything else. Won’t be going back.

We visited Pembroke for the long weekend and our date of visit is 28th August 2021 Won't even give 1 star. Where to start- Unprofessional and terrible service, uncooked food, and very rude behaviour from the owner and the waiter. Food don't taste good, and whoever visiting this place please check your bill throughly as you may be charged for items you didn't ordered. When we complained about food being uncooked they will argue that why did you ordered? And the Owner is dishonest person i have ever met, Deny and contradict everything you say. Just there to rob people of money with his terrible service and food. If you want your visit to Pembroke to be good and pleasant DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE. AVOID AT ALL COST, I would prefer be starving than visiting this place. Never had such an awful experience in my whole life. Terrible, awful, rude can't find the words to describe this service. 0/5 - Service 0/5 - Food AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

Very bad service no one responding properly and food also very bad

Served uncooked lamb and not bothered to apologise Very lazy staff. Very bad management. Misguiding menu. Not happy to go back

Distressful order, food wasn’t hot considering we are 10+ houses away. Missed food from the order. Would not recommend this place especially if your just visiting the area.

Worst food ever had and the service pathetic

Came here solo on a bird photography weekend and it was perfect , quickly seated and curry was top drawer with really efficient service and nice environment even for me on my own 👍🏻😎

Spicy curry with lots of flavour and good quality lamb. However they messed our order up and overcharged us by at least 5 pounds! Called up to tell them we were missing 2 of our items and that we were overcharged , no apology and...

Absolutely livid. Ordered a delivery as first was told 90-100 minutes. We said that’s Fine. 150 mins later and having called twice and being told it will be 20 mins, then it’ll be 10 mins the food still hast arrived. £100 worth of food and we’ve waited over 2 and half hours and no one can tell me if it’s cooked, if it’s on its way or when it’ll be here.

Had food here 10th Aug, decent food, arrived in a timely fashion, staff were pleasant and Bill was fine. Did read some of the reviews beforehand but the bad ones were unfounded!

Food was absolutely delicious can't fault the service will definitely be calling again

I was walking on Pembroke High Street, by Mehfills Indian Takeaway, and an overpowering smell of Grease mixed with something else, which was pungent, and most unpleasant, literally made me retch. I can only wonder when the extraction Filters were last cleaned or changed, this...

Food was very good and the service was great - would definitely visit again!

Very good food and amazing service from aymam he was very kind and chatty. I would definitely come back again.

Ayman was extremely helpful and friendly. We ordered two dishes that he recommended which were delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Clearly struggling with staffing, the the person who greeted us was abrupt to the point of rude. Walked out without ordering when the table next to us said they'd been waiting over an hour and a half since ordering and still didn't have their food.

Found this takeaway after getting turned away from the Stackpole Inn. We had one of the best Indian takeaways ever, the meals were served very well prepared, generous portions and ready at the time promised.

After moving to the area in March, from Birmingham, we have been looking for an Indian to rival those back home. We have definitely now found it. Amazing food only thing missing from the menu is a Sagwalla! Always flavourful and piping hot.

A really great curry beautifully cooked and a good price. Thanks guys. Dale, Telford👍

We arrived in pembrokeshire around 9 pm and were not expecting to find a nice Indian/ south asian restaurant around but as luck would have it we landed at this place. The food was way better than we expected to be honest, the aroma, the flavours and the taste all super good and authentic. Loved it. I paid my compliments to the chef 👍😋. If you are in pembrokeshire and wanna have some nice desi food, Mehfil is your one stop...! P.s. do try their Veg dopiaza 👌

The food was lovely and we really enjoyed our curries, however, our experience was let down by very poor service. We were told to wave at a camera for service (which didn’t even work when we tried it), we waited an hour for our main...

Was visiting Pembrokeshire on a weekend with friends. Good North Indian cuisine restaurant with spacious seating facilities.Opens at 4:30pm. Nearby paid parking is available. Halal meat was served. You can ask them which all dishes are halal. Ordered ‘Thandoor thali’ . One thali will be good enough for 3 .Coke and drinks available. Staffs and service was good and quick. They have washroom facility. Cards accepted. Nearby kids park was der to hang out with family.

Had a takeaway from here while we were down for a week on holiday at Freshwater East. The meal was outstanding & I wish we had tried this place earlier in our stay as we definitely would have returned. The free Bombay potatoes were lovely...

Made very welcome. Good use of sanitizer at the entrance. Food very tasty, hot plates, good size portions.

We live in Devon and have NO decent Indian restaurants - so over the years I've spent a lot of time learning to cook curries. Had a fantastic takeaway whilst on our hols recently. Just fab!

Visited Mehfil’s on the recommendation of the owners of the B&B (The Burrows) we are staying at for the next few days. I can truly say both the curry’s ordered and eaten by myself and my husband were truly delicious. The pappadam were light and...

I thought the fairly short list of dishes (for Indian restaurants' standard) was a good sign so we ordered takeaway. I was wrong, the food was actually not that great, very dry chicken. We were given a free side, which was nice.

A really good little find on a wet Saturday evening. In a biggish group so tried the full range on offer. Everyone happy. NOTE - Tips when added to the bill don't go to the waiting staff.

Went for a meal Tuesday evening… absolutely stunning, staff were friendly, food came out piping hot, tasted great, loads of meat… best Indian we’ve had in a while… we will be back..

Great food, piping hot , tasted fantastic. Will be back. Staff were friendly . Great evening meal we will be back…
