Rahil Tandoori in The Vale of Glamorgan

The best Indian food I’ve eaten in a long time, excellent food, excellent service! Thank you will be back next week ! Really good value for money!

I've been a loyal customer of Rahil Tandoori for nearly 16 years, and my experiences have consistently been positive. Recently, there was an unfortunate incident involving a customer who felt that the restaurant's staff was unjustly cautious regarding their medical needs. While I sympathize with their situation, I believe it's crucial to understand that the restaurant is prioritizing safety and well-being for all its patrons. The owner shared that they've been in business for 18 years and have only encountered one disgruntled customer in that time—a remarkable track record in the restaurant industry! This speaks volumes about the dedication and quality of service the team provides. Every visit to Rahil Tandoori has been a delight, not just for the delicious food but also for the warm welcome and playful banter from the staff. It's disheartening to see one negative experience overshadow the many positive ones shared by countless customers. On my recent visit, the restaurant was bustling with patrons enjoying their meals, a testament to the hard work and commitment of the team. Instead of focusing on one isolated incident, I encourage everyone to experience the welcoming atmosphere and fantastic food for themselves. Wishing Rahil Tandoori continued success for many years to come! Don’t let negativity cloud the truth of a wonderful dining experience.

Amazing Indian restaurant! Very friendly and attentive staff with delicious food at a great price. Really generous portions, too. Looking forward to another meal here very soon!

Rats in the kitchen discussing 🤢🤢🤢🤮

When I came home, I noticed I had a fraudulent charge from the restaurant in addition to my bill that I paid. They steal bank cards.

Disgusting to assume disabled people are too ill to eat at your restaurant. That is not for you to decide, the fact the owner still doesn’t understand that is appalling. You do not discriminate based on a health condition or disability especially due to the fact you are scared of it or misinformed. Horrible treatment.

Would have left 0 stars, we were on holiday recently and was going to eat here until we found out the owners don't like disabled folk, we thought we best not risk it

Owner discriminates against disabled customers. Wouldn’t recommend.

Don’t take discrimination lightly.

Worst Indian about, horrible service

Discrimination and owner claims after 18 yrs in uk he can't speak the language. Perhaps time for him to return to his village

Avoid. Full of staff who discriminate but would be the first to raise the racist flag. Time wd followed trumps lead and start to do return flights

Disabled people are not welcome and are ejected. * Please see Daily Mail report 01.03.25. *

You don't discriminate.... But... YOU DO.. it's not your concern how disabled a person is, refusing service to disabled person IS ILLEGAL, I hope you do get closed down. YOU BROKE THE LAW.

Went to Rahils for a fabulous meal last night. We were treated in a very friendly and respectful manner. The staff could not do enough for us. Two of us had the Jaipur chicken, which was divine and had a bit of a 'kick'. I can thoroughly recommend it. My husband had the chicken shashlik bhuna, which was also fantastic. This is our favourite curry house in the Vale for both the service and the food. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had an amazing experience in rahil tandoori! The food was finger licking. The service was top-notch , staff was very attentive, friendly and polite. The food was flavourful and well-presented. A fantastic place for a special evening out. Highly recommended!!

Staff were great and very attentive. I understand there has been some friction regarding disabled customers, but whilst i was there, there was a wheelchair user dining and she was treated great. Opened doors for her and no discrimination at all. Always been great food and atmosphere when i have visited

Awesome restaurant. The only Tandoori I'll go to in all the Cardiff area. Great service and utterly awesome food every time. I absolutely recommend to all my friends. I had a couple of friends who were in wheelchairs and they couldn't do enough for us. All round best ever.

Visiting Barry to see the Gavin & Stacey location. From the Midlands, so obviously visited a local curry house called Rahil…….Midlands you have serious competition, great food, great value for money….

Discrimination towards disabled folk here you should be ashamed of yourselves

disgusting behaviour from staff towards disabled people. rubbish food too!

After just reading how you treat disabled people...you should be ashamed. Hope more people read what you done.

Their treatment of disabled people is disgusting ... asked to leave because 'other' customers were put off looking at a disabled person... disgusting. Discrimination covers a range of aspects including disability.

Great on the weekend and to sit in. Only 4 pieces of chicken this evening in a £9.95 curry.

Looked up a few restaurants, and thought we would give these guys a try. Great food and service. You want spicy, you can have it... lamb tender and honest, sag paneer really exceptional. Poppadums from very clean oil. Pickle tray spot on. Cheers folks see you again.

We really enjoyed our night at the Rahill we went there for a 80 birthday it was wonderful atmosphere amazing food couldn't do enough for us, would definitely go there again soon

I’ve been a customer now for only two years. Each time the service has been excellent. The staff always greet you with a smile and are very professional and well dressed. The meals are always fantastic and have never been disappointed. Whether it’s a lamb biryani, chicken nagga, vegetable curry or my go to lamb and spinach balti, I’m always happy. Highly recommended.

Food is average and the little delivery driver needs to be sacked. Never before has a delivery driver swear at me because he had to wait for me to walk down some stairs to get the delivery

Amazing food excellent service and a really nice atmosphere

Excellent, friendly service & absolutely fantastic food. We really enjoyed our meal & would visit regularly if we lived in Barry.

Great food ! We had chicken karahi and chicken kushboo . Excellent friendly service and proper Indian music . If we're in Barry again we will eat there !

Great food, great service and very well priced.

Pleasantly surprised by this because the rating on the door was 3 star. Staff were friendly and attentive with out being in your face. We had poppadoms and chicken pakora to start. Then 2 different lamb curries with rice plus keema and peshawar nans. 2 alcohol drinks and 1 soft. All food was tasty. Biggest surprise was the bill at 47. Pity their rating is on the low side as this will put people off slightly but they will miss a good one.

What's happened at the Rahil - it's gone really downhill. We waited an hour and a half, when the food arrived it was tiny portions, mine had 6 small bits of chicken and several halves of undercooked onion to fill the dish. The onion bhajis and naan breads were undercooked and doughy. It was truly awful and I won't be going again. It used to be first class 😞

The food was up there with the best.And what was really weird was , he new the owner of our old favourite ( sadly gone ) Indian restaurant on canvy island essex.

The restaurant had a chill vibe to it. We did go quite late and there weren't as many people which was good for us. The staff was very friendly and involved themselves in conversations with us. Food was very very aromatic and different to anywhere else I've had this dish before. I had Karahi chicken and I did find that it was on the spicy side. It is meant to be a medium dish and I felt like my mouth was on fire when had it here. The staff offered to make it milder as they did see I was struggling and they did this by adding coconut milk to it I believe and also some sort of sweetner which slightly changed everything the dish overall as it then turned into a sweet curry, similar to korma which I am not a fan off but it was say 20% like a Korma so not too bad. I really liked the dish I had though minus the spiciness level but I have been told that this is normally how spicy this dish should be so maybe everywhere else that I've had it, may have watered it down. Regardless of this, I think it's a great restaurant to go to and would recommend you check it out!

Wonderful restaurant. Food is always lovely, staff are lovely. Our Local Curry House

Lovely food nice staff easy parking towards night time

Haven't been before but highly rated to me from friends who have, and the food and service deserve 4 stars

Always good, been coming here for years and easily the best in the area. tasty authentic Indian food. Sauces good quality full of flavour, the meats perfect, quick delivery even at busy times. Restaurant also same good quality food, staff very welcoming and friendly. I would recommend Lahori Karahi Gosht lamb and Khushboo chicken. 10/10

We always love an Indian meal and always try different ones on or travels. Admittedly the Rahil was our our second choice as the other local was fully booked, but that turned out to be lucky for us, as it was a great experience. The staff were very friendly and the food was suberb, my only slight quarm, was that there was no lime pickle to go with the poppadoms.

Came for the first time with friends last night. Really friendly service, great food and portion size and excellent value for money. Will definitely be back.

Rated as one if not the Best Indian Restaurant that I have ever visited, the food is always excellent and considerately well above other Restaurants and served with such professionalism with smartly dressed waiters. Both the Food and Drinks are reasonably priced and what I find unusual is it has a great Wine Selection of both Red and White Bottled Wines. They offer a Take away service for those lazy nights in front of the fire. I try to visit at least once a week and I rate this Restaurant a 10 out of 10 all day long Mr Spence Eng ApartmentsWales

Tasty food. We placed order online, by the time we reached the restaurant. the order was ready for pickup. Kofta curry was sweet, oops I didn't realise, other curries were tasty. NaN and roti was really very good.

Best place to have an Indian in the entire town perhaps even Cardiff.

Horrible food and disappointing service would not recommend

Food is nice. But what let's this place down is thar the staff are soooooooo rude. No manners, no smiles. Very abrupt. We spent a lot and had loads left over, they didn't bag our stuff up to take home and just took it away! Also stop trying to take the poppadoms and mint sauce away. No we haven't finished. Also find the talk to the men such as my partner, don't even look at women when talking. Very odd. Shame the staff are so rude because the food is actually nice. Won't be back here.

Delicious food, excellent service.

Fantastic Indian the food was absolutely delicious. And the service and hospitality was really good. Very reasonably priced.

Tika massala no cream and awful, won't be back

The best curry house in barry 😋

The second time I've ordered from here. My new go to! The food is delicious, fast delivery too. Thank you.

After years of using the same takeaway, tonight we decided on a change at the Rahil. Totally exceed expectations. The food was absolutely gorgeous, fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Looks like we found our new Indian takeaway. Thank you to the chefs for a wonderfully, delicious meal.

As always a superb meal, reasonably priced with excellent service. The best around. Keep up the good work.

I cannot get enough of the place, ok it's dated and would not win any beauty contest, but the Service and hospitality just blanks this out. It's consistant food and affordable prices make this a winner for nearly all of it's dinners. Thank you Rahil ApartmentsWales

Great food and nice staff. I recommend the chicken rezalla.

Best local Indian Restaurant! Regularly visit and always a beautiful cooked meal.

If you love good quality Indian cuisine and excellent service, we highly recommend a visit to Rahil Tandoori in Barry. The food was good quality, service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and we had a very pleasant experience and an enjoyable evening. Full dining with drinks for four persons came in at under £100, which was surprisingly reasonable considering the quality. We would also like to give our personal thanks to the owner for his warm welcome and good-will. Barry is very lucky to have such a great restaurant to hand!

Best curry I've eaten in a long time, and good value for money 👍

Average food. Forgot some items. Was funny about using different cards to pay because it costs them. Fair enough, but not our problem. Some cash paid, didn't bring all the change over, just the pounds... I guess they decided people won't notice and pocket the change when they can. Clearing off the whole table when people still eating. And the weirdest moment was when my friend was brought his chips, then a minute or so later, the guy came back out with only one small chip in is fingers(!) and chucked (no exaggeration) it on to his bowl of chips (at which point it fell out of the bowl anyway)... Sooo... Where's the chip come from? Why are you using your fingers? And why did you think that that one small chip HAD to be brought out and added to the other chips. Weird. General consensus from us all was that we won't bother with this restaurant again.

Amazing food always tastes good. Food is always hot (temperature). Staff was friendly and the restaurant very clean. I don't go anywhere else for my Indian food

Food is lovely here, however the service can be very hit and miss. I ordered a take away(to collect) which I was told would be half and hour, when I get there its busy and I make myself known to the guy at the counter that I'm here to collect my order. I then have to wait another half an hour for it to come out. So half and hour has now turned into an hour, in all fairness I was apologised to for the wait. I get my stuff and then drive home. Its a good 10 mins back to my house as we live at the other end of Barry. We start to take everything out of the bag and the chips are missing, by this point I'm starving and can't be arsed to drive all the way back for someing that I've been charged for, and I want going to phone up and wait until they brought me something. In future I will check everything before Ieave as they can't be trusted when it's busy, this is not the 1st time that this has happened to me here either. Food still tastes great though.

Been here loads of times. Sometimes a bit frantic but always good food. Hopefully will go loads more times.

An undiscovered treasure. First visit and won’t be our last. Very warm, friendly welcome. Good service, neither rushed or slow. Food was delicious / generous portion and all came to table piping hot. Loved the condiment trays they used for chutneys (and the chutneys themselves). Meal wrapped up with hot lemon towels for your hands. Bill came with a little chocolate sweet and, a complimentary liqueur. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Very nice. 10 out 10. Murgi masala was amazing highly recommended

First time after 3 years, and the Rahil Tandoori didn't disappoint - the food was as good and as delicious as ever! Always a fantastic treat for the whole family

Been going here for years, staff are amazing always welcoming. Recommendations from them are helpful and delicious! I had the chicken Kushboo. Indian beers served in bottles, Cobra & Kingfisher.

Nice food just bit stingey on the poppadoms when you spend over £100

Food was lovely service was great but what let’s this down is the fact that they advertise aircon when they knowingly know that it’s broken,I mean it must be as old as the building when u see it mind,,if we all had known that we would of gone else where , instead we all kept going outside for air as it was so warm inside, great in the winter months but I’d avoid in the summer months but like I said food lovely but the sweat just pours off your heads ….!

Can't believe I've not eaten here before. If you live locally and like Indian food, it's a no brainer. Top notch starters and mains.

Great food and just a tiny bit away from the norm. Staff just a tad abrupt but I expect that’s merely to do with the locale. Overall well recommended. Cheap as chips.

We always order from here, and it’s always lovely. Definitely my favourite local Indian Takeaway.

Best Indian in Barry! Great service and great food.

Not as good as the has been quite disappointed on this visit

Lovely staff food and drinks. Really enjoyed it and will be back

Staff were friendly and happy to accommodate for vegans!

Our local curry house (only 1 min walk luckily!) And hands down the best curry I have had. Find the takeaway prices really reasonable.I have tried a few others in barry but always end up coming back here. What I will say is just by being there collecting on a busy evening the deliveries are really busy so I would always advise collecting if you can.

Service wasn't the best, took ages to be served then felt rushed to get us out of the place. Food was nice but some elements were undercooked. Passable and pleasant enough but sadly nothing special.

Had a great birthday here! Beautiful food, friendly staff!

Awful meal, food and sauces clearly from a Comercial batch of readymade disgusting sludge, with maybe just maybe some colour or flavours added to change the appearance for different dishes. Should have guessed looking at the menu far too many dishes listed to be even possible to a decent standard. Would not let me keep the bill!! So ended up taking it back off the waiter and took picture of it, before he took it back again, has to be a fiddle going on here why can’t I have a copy of my bill!,

Great, tasty food. What more can I say, the customer service and atmosphere was fabulous. One of the best Indian Restaurants I've been to so far, highly recommend this place!

Was visiting my daughter in Barry. We were going home for indian delivery when we noticed this restaurant was open. Omg! How glad we were the food was the best I've ever had and will definitely return. Warm and friendly welcome by a lovely young man. Although we couldn't understand Indian he seemed to be being bossed around by the owner and we just want to say he is doing a fabulous job !..... Covid restrictions were adhered to ! We had the chicken tikka masala and it was beautiful, so fragrant ! We will definitely return when we are in Barry again and I highly recommend ! Thanks Rahil.

We visited during our weekend trip to Barry and Indians is favorite food so we made sure to book a curry in advance! We’ve tried loads of places away from home and often hesitant as to weither the curry will be as nice but very pleasantly surprised! Lovely meal and will return whenever we come back to Barry!

Great curry. If in back in the area I'll be back for another curry.

Fabulous food, friendly service, highly recommended

Another really good experience, food as good as always.

Great service and excellent food

Good little curry house good service happy with the price compared to oxford, wife said lamb tika jalfezi was very good.would go back again.

Great Food great service will be my new go to curry house

Food nice... Onion bargi terrible.. Several times on collectionsomething missing from order

Ordered a curry at 6:20 was told 1-1 1/2hrs phones at 8pm was told it was on its way had left ages ago phoned back at 8:40 as it still hadn’t arrived. The food arrived at 8:45 the curries had all leaked and the food was STONE COLD and it took a really hard scrub to get the oil off all table. 1st time using this place as it was recommended and definitely the last.

I've eaten in here on three occasions with a different party each time (6 people total) and the food has always been great. I've had the vindaloo each time and the spice is balanced perfectly with the taste. The service was perfect and if they were on just-eat or foodhub, I'd order for takeaway as many times as the wife will let me. I haven't dealt with cash in years, sorry!Pre-covid and post-covid, not too much has changed. It's a fairly small venue, but I've experienced no issues with social distancing in there. Obviously, your social distancing experience is dependant on the people around you and we haven't had any people acting crazy in there.In my experience (and I'm pretty sure I've had every takeaway in Barry), Rahil has the best tasting Indian food in Barry.

Beautiful food and fantastic staff, had a takeaway tonight and the food was delicious as always, staff always friendly.

Totally rubbish to long for delivery and when it arrived it was missing food. Phoned and told them it arrived 35 mins later after 2 calls. Food not that good, service zero. Won't use again value for money zero

Please please please, think twice when ordering a takeaway for delivery They obviously concentrate more on in-house orders , as they will probably deliver what we have received tonight, half of placed order and absolutely freezing cold , with chips I can only describe as what they did not sell yesterday, after expressing our concerns ( mrs ranting on phone ) they didn't seem bothered but offered same meal free of charge next time , but I really do think once bitten, not again So please please please take heed

Had a takeaway. The order over the phone was taken professionally. Only waited for a short time and the food was delivered to our house. The delivery driver was happy and acknowledged me with sir, good evening and thank you. Well what can I say about the food. It was delivered hot and presented nicely. Our food was beautiful. The chunks of chicken in my Nawabi was cooked perfectly, it cut with a spoon. The vegetable Biryani's were beautiful. ALL the food was eaten. Phoned them after our food to say thank you. Always GREAT food from Rahil in Barry.

Absolutely amazing food , I swapped to these guys recently because our usual place has gone right downhill.... but tonight I was refused an order . I've always paid by card, tonight we go through the order, I say I want to pay by card as I don't keep money at home... and they refused . I pointed out I always pay by card, sorry but not tonight the person on the other end said !! Fine . I guess your reputation is such that you don't need or appreciate my business . That's okay, we shall find an alternative. I thought we had found a good one in this place, clearly my business is not wanted.

Highly highly recommend this place to everyone who loves Indian food! Amazing service and the taste was just spectacular! Food came before the actual time given and the delivery man was very professional and polite. I will definitely be ordering again very soon!!! 5 star for definite!!!

Wrong information on website and the Google map!! Also not to be confused after reaching there that same Ahil is Rahil coz their R is missing

Just returned home after a wonderful experience at the Rahil Restaurant Holto Road, Barry. We were greeted by a hands free sanitizer at the door, very professional, immediately felt safe. Staff were very welcoming, service excellent, wine well chilled. My husband had balti dish with coconut rice and I had chicken tikka massala with plain nan bread. All served piping hot, a perfect meal and a perfect night.....
