5/5. Absolutely loved our Indian take away. Loved it so much we ordered twice during our short stay in merthyr tydfil. The best makhani and peshwari naan I’ve ever had. Now please open a takeout in Windermere, Lake District!

If there was a star rating for zero I would, £50 for the order I had chicken madras and keema nan nothing more than a Wednesday tea the only spice was salt. Ordered the onion chutney if you spend £50 you expect free popadoms I’m a simple Welsh woman and I can do better it was embarrassing.

A slightly weird experience! Visitors staying in nearby airbnb. Saw 50% off mains offer and decided to dine in. We were the only ones there. A bit souless. Thanks to the young lad (aged about 10!) we had a good time because he was switched on and responsive. Maybe Dad's speciality is cooking because the food was great and well presented but customer service was lacking. You can't take in alcohol and you need cash to pay. Both need to be well signed outside. There is a big difference between take away prices and sit in (about £2 per item) and on reflection we were paying to sit somewhere less pleasant than our cottage. However there is no where else walking distance. Hopefully the son gets the career he craves but in the meantime he's the heart of the restaurant!

This is our fav Indian restaurant in the Merthyr valley. A lot of the dishes are Nepali so not you’re usual Indian but close enough. As a vegetarian I think they have the best saag/palak paneer. Delivery can take up to 1.5hrs so just order ahead of time.

So disappointed with tonight’s order! Took two hours to come and on top of that the food was just slightly warm, didnt follow the notes left the crispy pancake was soft and soggy and the person on the phone hung up on me. Never had a problem before tonight.

Very good and authentic tasting food at correct ‘hotness’. Better than Mango House, in Cefn Coed, which I also feel is pretty decent. It is a bit pricey, especially if you get Chutney Tray and Poppadoms as starters, however, authenticity and quality of food offsets this. I lived in Birmingham previously, 2nd home of curry houses in uk, and this comes close to the better of those. Never a bad meal yet.

I can’t believe this is Indian food. The biriyani was pathetic more felt like tomato rice with chicken used alot colour. Tandoori chicken lacked any flavour. We are known for our spices I wasn’t able to taste any either my friends. Please don’t judge Indian cuisine from the food in this place. Only positive were good packing and good delivery.

We went here to get dinner on a recent trip to Wales. We ordered takeout - starters (bhaji, pakora); two mains (Chicken Dansak and Chicken Chilli Masala); naan and rice. The portions were good value and the food quality was excellent. The Chilli Masala was the most flavorful Indian meal we have had in years. The naans were perfectly done. I would highly recommend this place for takeout if you are in the area or even passing through.

The food was worst, and it disappointed me. I ordered paneer tikka masala, fried rice, and lamb tikka masala, all of these were poor in quality and it doesn't look like Indian cuisine, we discarded everything because we felt stomach ache after the meal.

Despite my first impressions, due to the restaurant being empty. This curry house is fantastic, it's one of the best curries I've had in a long time. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. When we visited, they didn't have an alcohol licence, so we placed our orders and went for a beer down the road, then returned to sit and eat excellent meals. I can't wait to come back.

Tried a madras couple weeks ago. Very very bland but not horrible, tonight I tried the naga. Was even more bland, had no heat. No naga chilli and no coriander which I asked for extra but never got. Literaly base sauce with onions chucked in that tastes exactly the same as the madras weeks before, Ordered 2 poppadoms and got one that was smashed to pieces... Too top it all off I've had belly ache all night. Sickness etc...... Can see why it's called simply Indian now. I can cook better at home 👎

This restaurant does not serve or allow you to bring in alcohol, probably no need to read on. Our visit turned into a bit of a comedy, the waiter threw a full tray of rice and naan on the floor, one of our party ordered chicken and got lamb. Mixed feelings on the food some enjoyed it more than others. And we scored a free round of 0 % Heinekin

We had a takeaway. We didn't enjoy it. The Korma was not nice at all. Very sweet and the sauce was grainy. I even questioned if the correct dish had been ordered as it didn't taste like a korma. The £7.50 Indian bag in Tesco is much nicer. Sorry to post such a negative review, but we would not order from here again.

Never judge a book by its cover. This restaurant may not look like the swanky city centre types, but boy they work hard at producing an excellent meal with great service. I travel up and down the country finding great places to eat curry and having been to Brick Lane in London to Sparkbrook in Birmingham, I have tried lots of places to eat. This was among the best. The mix of spices were unique and the flavour poured from every mouthful. Really authentic cooking and staff who could not have made us feel more welcome. As I say look past the frontage of the building (and old hotel that looks nothing like a curry house) and step into taste heaven - the meal was outstanding and I will be back!

Absolutely awful service , Ordered a vegetarian option and found it had meat in . Rang up to say they have given me the wrong dish , no apology as it was not the wrong dish just it accidently had meat in . Disgusting service driver who came to collect the food was rude and arrogant and would not let me speak to the manager over the phone . After ringing back today and asking again to speak to the manager the driver hung up . Terrible customer service

Served me duck when i asked for chicken, was about 3 peices of duck to boot. Had bombay aloo and Mumbai 'chicken' and they both tasted exactly the same, sauce was exactly the same. Way to much ghee, aloo was greasy as and the curry was bland as was the aloo. The naan was nicely cooked but was meant to be a garlic naan and i couldnt taste any garlic whatsoever. I had popadums and dips to start and there was no lime pickle which I requested and received but it was home made and had a bleachy taste to it. I travel loads and eat in many Indian restaurant as its my favourite food, this one i will not be going back to. The lad that served me had a silly little grim on his face as he showed me out to top it all off, not good ! First review i have ever wrote which should demonstrate my sincerity

We are a group of 20 mountain bikers visiting South Wales and after seeing reviews decided to book a group meal at the Taj Restaurant on the Saturday night some weeks before our visit.. Well what can I say . The booking was easy with a confirmation a week before. When we arrived we were shown to our tables by friendly staff. All 20 of us had 2 courses & sundries. All arrived after not too long of a wait. All the food was hot and very tasty. The staff were really helpful and made our night special. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for anyone who is a curry lover who likes an attentive friendly service..
