Milford Curry House in Pembrokeshire

A year ago I left the 5 *Review, below, but how things have changed... A couple of days ago (9th April 2024) I ordered a Prawn Puri, a Lamb Biryani and Keema Naan. The Puri was fine but the Lamb Biryani had virtually NO lamb at all and was tasteless, as was the accompanying sauce... completely flavourless and boring! I phoned them today to let them know, rather than leaving a negative review, but they really were not interested! A real shame because, at first when they took over from the previous owners the food was brilliant. Sadly won't be going back. PREVIOUS REVIEW FROM A YEAR AGO: Wow! I was surprised and pleased to see this place had changed from Essence of India to the new owners. Food was always OK, but never amazing and the previous owners were always arguing! My fist time sence the change and WOW, what a difference! Fantastic, one of the best Indian meals we've had, and we've had quite a few!

I don’t often review places, but this was one of the best Indian curry’s I’ve had for a real long time. Such succulent meat, delish spice blend and sauces and the naan was fluffy and melt in the mouth. The restaurant looks warm and inviting, the staff was lovely and professional, all greeting me with a wide smile, which is always lovely on arrival. It’s a must visit if you enjoy delicious Indian food that isn’t over priced. Portions are generous and I couldn’t ask for more overall. Thank you Milford Curry House, I will definitely be back again next weekend and recommending to all I know! 🙏🏻

We were initially a bit anxious, as we were the first ones in. But needn’t have worried, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and despite having the place to ourselves, felt comfortable and relaxed. We will be coming here regularly.

If you’re British we have all been out for Curry. But this has to be the worse restaurant, I have been to. 40 minute to get starters. Spring rolls had been microwave. When to main course came after 50 minute wait. (Other table had been waiting that long too). The food was empty of taste. Will never go back.

Lovely food here. We had a takeaway when staying in the area and it was delicious, fast and friendly service

1st: No music. 2nd: Very very slow service took 1hour 10 mins to get food. Wont be rushing back!! When we did get food it was lovely.

Chicken tikka rezala to die for, so tasty, had keema rice chips and a chicken tikka nan bread to go with it. Mrs had delight but wasn't the delight she thought it would be. Lovely decor inside and friendly staff. Would definitely go again if I ever visit Milford again.

First time ordering from here as a familly. I Placed a large order, and when it arrived one of the mains was missing. I rang up the restaurant who immediately blamed me for the mix up. They insisted that, because I hadn't been charged for the meal, I couldn't have possibly ordered it. I said I didn't mind paying for the meal, and reiterated that I was certain I had placed my order correctly because I had written a list to make sure I didn't miss anything off. The restaurant offered to make the missing dish but said I would have to collect it myself (despite me already paying for delivery and tipping the driver). When I got to the restaurant a gentleman came out and started pointing to a reciept in his hand saying "see I didn't charge you for the item" again insisting I was at fault. Again I reminded him "I don't mind paying". As a tip to the resturant, its not good to insist the customer has made a mistake, especially when you cannot be 100% sure it wasn't your mistake. Its also not good to imply they are just trying to get something for free, especially when they have said they are happy to pay the extra. FINALLY and most importantly, It is entirely possible to acknowledge the customer's inconvenience, without admitting you're at fault. All anyone needed to say was "sorry for the mix up" or "sorry about that". Politeness costs absolutely nothing and goes such a long way. The quality of the food was definetely not worth the rudeness. Potential for 10 new regular customers, instead we will not be going here again.

Eating here a year later I am disappointed. Smells like damp and a sewer. Staff are rude at times and blame us getting an order wrong and still get us to pay for an extra rice at the table rather than taking it back. Very different a year later when we so happy a year before. Won’t eat in again.

Shocking the way I was just spoke to I have used these since I moved to milford an love the food some beast just shouted down phone at me demanded I had my order wron bearing in mind I have only ever ordered same thing from them pila rice tikka massa chips an poppadoms they sent me green rice with bits it seems like beef so I called an he shouted at me thst I don't know what I ordered it was me who got my order wrong an asked for kima rice never i didnt no there was such a thing but yea 17£ take away fro wrong rice an to go through that don't fancy that again 😅 always been beautiful service before so wanted management aware

Very nice curry and good friendly service.

Awful waited an hour for food. Add enough poor service no no staff.

Had food here a few weeks ago and in all honesty the best Indian food I have had for a long time and a great service to go with it I will most definitely be going back 5⭐

Really enjoyed my time here all the staff are amazing especially our waitress couldn't have asked more ! Food was brilliant and cooked to perfection just the way we asked and the atmosphere was really nice and carming you didn't want to leave! I will be returning!!

Best food I ever had different flavours service amazing and environment so nice to be in

I bought a curry for myself with pilau rice and chips, to start the man who brought the food to my door was absolutely lovely. Could not fault him one bit. Then I went on to opening my food. I ordered chicken tikka masala curry. It turned up with just chicken in a box. Still went on and thought I’ll just have the chicken and rice. The rice had 3 black hairs in it and were about 3 inches long! Not satisfied at all! Then tried the chips and they were stone cold. Wont be eating here again.

We ate here Oct 2023 and it was a really nice curry, well priced, quick n friendly service and very reasonably priced.

Lovely restaurant right in the centre of Milford Haven. Attentive staff, gorgeous food. All in all a top class curry house.

Best curry house in Milford Haven

A local recommended The Milford Curry House to us and she was spot on. Booked a table for our two families after film in The Torch. The variety on the menu was excellent with lots of special dishes. Can defo recommend the Chicken Makhani. Tasted beautifully fresh & light. Everyone enjoyed their meals but the absolute highlight was the service we received from Ahmed and his colleague. Wonderfully chatty, and extremely attentive. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely return when we are next at The Torch.

We enjoyed some accidentally vegan options here. We enjoyed the garlic rice, tarka dahl, saag aloo with no dairy, chips and poppadoms with mango chutney.

£53 takeaway between four of us Saturday gone, 55 minutes to turn up, food was tasty enough but cold. Chips were completely stone cold. Not good enough.

Fantastic Rogan Josh from here today, price was reasonable and the staff were friendly and polite. Absolutely delicious. Good work all :)

Excellent food from the new chef here, absolutely loved my experience here and look forward to returning.

Food good but staff not at all friendly.

Food is yummy and delicious… service. Quality is good.I love it

Had wonderful tasty meal. The owner Mofiz Ali is also a renowned chef and a great host.

We were looking for something to eat on Sunday evening - after 7:30 p.m. you usually don't have a chance here in the region. Our salvation came with this curry house. We easily ordered takeaway online at 9 p.m. The waiting time was 30 minutes. Parking wasn't a problem. At 9:30 p.m. we were able to pick up the food (1* chicken curry, 1* vegetarian as well as 1* rice and 1* naan < 22 pounds) and it was very, very tasty. As described in the brochure, also regarding the sharpness. A very friendly employee immediately handed us our order. Payment with credit card is very possible. There were also a few people sitting in the restaurant, it looked cozy. Thank you for this great experience.

Great tasting food and portions are on the bigger size well worth a visit

My partner and I had a great meal here tonight- possibly one of the best chicken Tikka Masalas I’ve ever had. Generous portions and very good quality food. Excellent value. Would highly recommend! Thanks

Very nice food. Good prices and big portions. Friendly staff too

We had a take out for 7 people from here. Everything was delicious, big portions. 5 stars ⭐️ 😎👍

Chaos. We waited 1.5 hrs at our table after being told our food was 5 minutes away three times. Nothing arrived so we left.

Food was tepid not hot, naan bread was cheese not keema. But disappointed to be honest. For £27 expected better.

Very nice restaurant, authentic Indian & Pakistani dishes. The cook specially made king prawn karhaee for us. Sunny & Charlotte served us , very friendly atmosphere

Have Visited this restaurant on two occasions and have found the food and service excellent would highly recommend giving a visit.

Food came quick, very hot and tasty. Very friendly service. Free drink with meal was a nice touch!

Came for the Sunday special. Fantastic food, drink and service. Highly recommend.

Great place to eat, great service and great food at a great price.

Amazing food, lovely, friendly and polite staff. Definitely will be coming back.

Was delicious, great starters, bombay potatoes +onion badghis. Tandoori Chicken Madras main. Cobra beer, what's not to like!

Wonderful food and the staff were so good at discussing the ingredients and strength of curry before ordering. A lovely meal and a great experience. I do love a curry and must say that this is the best I’ve had in a decade.

Fantastic service and the food was excellent

Absolutely delicious food this evening, don't often have Indian but highly recommend

Staff is nice, food is good but we waited almost an hour to have something on our table

Food was brilliant, and I can't fault the service. Recommend going here to anyone

Great food. Great service. Great price for the food and alcohol not over-priced

Brilliant food and the waiters were brilliant. Highly recommend

Thank you very much for your amazing food and service xx value independence had a meal for our company and we couldn’t of asked for more- 100% recommend this Indian restaurant x

Went there a few weeks ago with my family. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. I had the mixed grill to start, I have never had one that tasted this good the chicken tikka was so moist and tasty, as was the kofta and lamb tikka. We ordered 3 different curries and all were outstanding. They now offer alcohol too. This is the best Indian food I have had in Pembrokeshire. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic night out for my partners Birthday there was six of us and everyone enjoyed there meals, the onion bhaji starter was a meal on its own all in all a fantastic night great food and our young waitress couldn't do enough for us we will be back for our Xmas bash. Kind regards paul, jones'coastal taxis.

Lovely food, atmosphere and service!

Another brilliant meal at Milford restaurant. Great food. Great staff.

Great food, friendly and efficient service.

Good serving and Delicious food taste we have visited with friends

Excellent food and very friendly service. Well priced. Clean and well decorated throughout.

Has recently changed owners, food was ok but not as good as previous owners.

Out from Australia and doing a bit of a UK Indian restaurant tour de force along the way on our travels. A great night out with awesome food and good service too, Essence of India prepared one of the best Lamb Rogans and Handi dishes we've tasted anywhere. Food was well prepared and presented. Staff were friendly. Thank you for a great experience.

Terrible delivery messed up Order no apology and waited over 2half hours for rest of order still waiting never again

What a surprise this was. Beautifully prepared food. It took quite a while to get to us but it was well worth it. The menu offered a very wide and varied range of dishes as well as the well know ones. Be aware though the servings are large making it all excellent value for money. A point to remember, no alcohol can be bought but you can bring your own and they will give you a glass. Give it a go I really enjoyed the food.

This place is amazing, they do not serve alcohol so quick nip to the nearby shop and we have a bottle of wine, no problem, lady was happy to supply glasses and corkscrew

Absolutely fantastic food. Best we have experienced. Had take away. Delivered it was still hot.

We just had a wonderful takeaway delivered, thank you it was first class.

A really lovely meal here on 11th April. Very tasty food made with high quality ingredients. Best Kurma I've ever had to be honest and portions are very generous. Would definitely recommend and will be returning on next trip to Milford!

Lovely food and service unfortunately since COVID the place has hardly any visitors ,which is such a shame ,please try this place it's the best Indian around

This is my first takeaway from here and it is by far the best Indian iv ever had, the flavours were incredible and service was awesome. Keep it up hopefully this is by far my favourite takeaway from now on.

Korma was banging and service was awesome, very nice people and lovely food and alot to choose 👍👍👍👍

Lovely food and the lady staff member was really helpful

Had a lovely sit down meal here. Despite phoning and booking a table, there was no record of my reservation. This wasn't a problem as there was plenty of availability. The service was very good. The young man was very efficient, friendly and couldn't do enough. The service was very fast. The food was delicious. The starters are very big (which isn't a bad thing). You are able to take home what you don't eat. A lovely ambiance and a great place to go for sit down or takeaway Indian food

Best curry house in Milford. Good size portions, reasonably priced, don't have to wait too long for a takeaway.

The meal I had for my takeaway was absolutely excellent.

Food was absolutely beautiful. Not sure where all the bad reviews are coming from, we had no issues at all. It’s a bring your own alcohol place so the meal turned out cheap too. Highly recommended.

Food is very good and the staff very friendly and anxious to please the customers. Perfect.

The food was beautiful really did enjoy it will be be going back soon

Ad food 2 weeks ago was lovely ordered food tnite 715 told 45 mins to hour turns up at 9.05 not happy driver as sent some food back won't be ordering again

Had a meal in tonight.. the food was cold ..got something that was no where near what was ordered...no drinks available..no music ..come back colbra all is forgiven....under new management ....shame ..........used to love this place....

This place used to be best curry arround. Not sure what has happenned but it seems to have changed owners. Prices have rocketed by 15 to 20 percent adding at least £1 to every dish and what makes it worse is the quality has gone down seriously. Twice of late we have tried allowing the first as a bad day but no second time was even worse. The food was bland and all the curries were very artificial in colour (bright red etc) and oily. This is a long way off what this place used to be and now gives food at well below average for premium prices Unfortunately after many many years as a loyal customer we will not be returning again . Well below average and top price sums it up.

Food is unreal but service is mind blowingly poor.

Lovely meal. Always very tasty xx❤️

Enjoyed the food and loads for another meal mmm 😋

tried calling 72 times in total it would be busy and then when it wasn't busy would just ring out and eventually cut off, Tried none stop for about an hour.

Essence of India is a fantastic restaurant, whether your sitting in or having a take out, the food is always perfect.

Very good food, excellent menu deal on a Sunday. It offered a main meal, a side and a sundry for under £10 per person. What was even better was the meals were anything on their menu, so you can pick and choose what suits you and are not restricted to a set menu as I have seen on most other places. The young lads who served us were very obliging and helpful. They accommodated my garlic intolerance and customised the meal accordingly. Thank you!

Great food, good atmosphere child friendly and family run.

Fantastic food coupled with helpful friendly service. A perfect choice when seeking great food when in Milford Haven. Recommended.

Food very good but be prepared, no alcohol is served

Lovely food polite staff friendly

Terrible,chicken hard as rock.. Ordered 2 tikkas,asked for one hot,neither labeled,ate wrong one... Rice and all other shizz labelled standard..Cheers for that...

We ate here on Sunday night with the 4 course Sunday night deal. Just £9.50 per head, the quality and quantity of the dishes was sublime! They no longer serve alcohol which we found out on the night. Went to the spar just up the road to grab a couple bottles of wine which the servers happily supplied us glasses for. Will be going again!

Food is very delicious . staff is really friendly and polite . I would recommend people to try this restaurant with their family. It is a very good place to visit for perfect Indian curry :)

Great food and awsome and helpful staff and service is great 👍👍

Great food, lovely staff, what's not to like!

AVOID! The Food was cold and tasteless, part of order didn’t arrive so had to wait further 30 minuets. Would never eat there again or recommend.

Absolutly amazing food would recomend to anyone

Good food. Service slightly slow but ok. Much better than I expected to find in Milford Haven, will visit again.

Best Indian Restaurant in Milford Haven!
