Was the best in Blackwood until last week. Recent 30% price increase doesn’t correspond with food quality. Tandoori sauce on the mixed grill was just nasty, it was just a tomato sauce with a little seasoning sprinkled in. My chicken madras was nothing mire than average. A madras should be hot enough to make you sweat, mine wasn’t. I am very disappointed as the price increases do not reflect a rise in quality. Won’t be ordering from here again. From a global curry connosieur, check my curry reviews.

OK, yet another visit and I have not been disappointed. The food was superb, and the service was outstanding. Times are very tough at the moment, so it's a case of bringing your own booze. But wow. This is a place that will weather the economic storm. Why go any where else? Love this place ... don't miss out.

Takeaway with delivery a whole different ball game absolutelyhorrendous service, website stated 30min delivery, 1hr later I rang to see where are food was, attitude of whoever I spoke to was appalling and was told it would arrive in 10min. 30min later i still hadn't received my delivery, so rang again and was told its sat waiting on the counter for a driver to pick it up. 2hr.30min later food arrived stone cold.

I’ve ordered from here quite with no problems. Tonight was the first issue we’ve ever had but as soon as we called up, the issue was resolved and new food was delivered with some extras, we collected so wasn’t willing to go back out but the person we spoke to offered to have it delivered if we didn’t mind waiting. We’ve never ordered on a Saturday before and they were much busier than when we normally order mid-week, next time I’ll double check the order before leaving and there shouldn’t be any problems Their sauces are the reason this takeaway is my go to so they’re forgiven for forgetting a side 😂

We had a takeaway delivered. It took an hour to arrive. Which took way to long and was warm. When I dished it up I was very disappointed. We ordered 2 curry's and was all sauce. There was 8 pieces of lamb in one curry and not much chicken in the other. Was our first and last time we would use them. It's not as thought it was cheap, but should get what you pay for.

Had a takeaway, ordered online, paid. Meal picked up by family.... Turns out the order was a main meal short !! Not a first that the order has been incomplete, rang up and they delivered the dish about 40 minutes later so I was eating on my own. Disgraceful...they need to think a lot more about what they are doing rather than not caring after they have received the money. Will be trying another Indian takeaway from now on...they have had enough chances..

Takeaway - late delivery due to issues with another drivers car - but friendly and polite delivery lady. King Prawn Bhuna was very good and tasty with a good measure of prawns:sauce - although it was slightly sweet so might have had some sugar added - not sure - but if sugar is an issue then watch out for that one. The Vindaloo sauce was good. The Onion Bhajis were dry and hard - the sort that could break teeth. Binned. The tandoori chicken was nicely spiced, but extremely dry. The Sag Paneer was too watery for my liking, and the cheese looked translucent. The Parotha was very poor - very dark and stale which was odd and I ended up discarding most of it to the bin. I have had a nan bread previously which to be fair was very good so not sure what happened with the Parotha.

I'm so shocked at some of the good reviews, I'm baffled. No joke the chips were green I've never seen that before in my life. Inside they were literally mouldy! The corma spelt like feet I couldn't even stomach the smell and the rice was all stuck together in little balls of mush 🤢 I rang to say I would like to return the mouldy food and the manager started shouting at me over the phone and said there's nothing they can do, "they have served everyone else nice food and I was the only one who complained" 🤔 what a waste of my money and time trying to send him pictures of the mouldy green chips haha. I hope to god you don't go there it's food poisoning Central.

Made my first order recently from New Red Chilli, food was delivered a fair bit quicker than expected (just ordered to be delivered ASAP, so was pleased with this) and the food was absolutely delicious! Lamb Tikka Masala was lovely and creamy and the portion was a decent size, had a little left over for lunch the next day. My only gripe is that I ordered through their website and I'm now getting around 10 emails a day from them, all at the same time, which is a bit irritating! Gripe aside, I will absolutely be ordering again from them.

It was like we were an inconvenience by visiting the restaurant. Ignorant manager with almost zero personality. Grunted more than spoke. Food was thrust into the table with zero interaction from the waiter. Bland. Tasteless and swimming in grease. How this business is still open is a mystery to me as it’s always empty and after eating there I can understand why. It’s such a shame.

First time ordering from here as couldnt be bothered to drive to being cymru (our fave) and this is on the doorstop. Ordered online before opening (3.40pm) and order confirmation said would be delivered by 6.15pm. Actually came just before 7.15pm and food was lukewarm except onion bhaji which were freezing and rock hard. Chicken tikka massala, pilau rice and nan breads were nice just not warm enough. Probably wouldn't order from here again unfortunately probably stick to our usual.

Blackwood restaurant EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE AND ATTITUDE FROM the gentleman that served us. He pushed my friends (that went 1st time there) to buy starters, despite they did not want it by saying: You have to order starters first. I said I do not want starter and he tried saying that I have to, and I said NO. HIS ATTITUDE AND TONE WAS DREADFUL EVEN BEFORE THIS ... AND GOT WORSE. Food arrived after a long time. The food was good, but he made us feel unwanted! At the time of pay, the told us only cash, but no itemised receipt or payment receipt was given to us. He offered to me when I asked, a piece of paper handwritten, but he said I cannot take it, but can do a photo. The writting is very badd, I could not read and discern the items we supposely ordered so we could have been charged anything! IF, and I repeat IF WE were charge correctly, was extremely expensive! Be careful and calculate what you order before the menu is taken away. I was never treated like this ever in my life in a restaurant, I feel so bad for my friends that paid a lot of money and were treated like this... Me and my family visited this restaurant regularly and took food home ...we will never set foot there or order, which is a shame, they knew me by name when I called! Extremely dissapointed!

I've ordered from here a few times before and I've always enjoyed the food but I ordered for delivery tonight at 6.30 and was told it would be 45 mins. No food by 7.30 so I rung them and was told my food was ready but would be another 15/20 mins as the driver was on his way back to the shop. No food by 8 o'clock so I rung back and was told it was being sent right away and would be with me within 10 mins. I then said that the last time I called I was told my food was ready which meant it had been sitting there getting cold for 30 mins and the man's reply was 'I've just reheated it all including your chips before it was given to the driver'. 8.40pm my food turned up stone cold so I give it back to the driver to take back. The man who I spoke to on the phone was helpful despite the over 2 hour wait and he did agree to taking £3 off my bill but I obviously wasnt willing to pay £12 for food which had been reheated and gone cold again and took 2 hours and 10 mins to arrive!!

Just had a takeaway order with my family as I’m not down very often, I must say this was our favourite Indian before it was taken over. The food was horrendous! I rang and complained and all I received was excuses and “never had a complaint in the three months we have been open”. First for everything though I must add. I have never experienced Garlic Naan that was so tasteless and greasy! The chips looked and tasted like they were from the weekend. The Tikka masala was lumpy and greasy (you could see the fat rise to the top of the dish). The person who had the korma was even sick it was that bad, only decent thing was the rice! Will not be visiting again even after being offered something free next time😂😂

Visited recently with My Partner. We ordered our food and it took a little while to arrive, which was a good indication that the food was being prepared freshly and indeed the kitchen door is open so you can see them cooking inside. Hygiene rating is 3 which is acceptable but not good or excellent. When the food arrived, it was nicely presented, looked and tasted very good. The service by the staff, however, was lacking, no personality, no greeting and no conversation. Then the bill arrived and don't get me wrong, I'm happy to pay for good food, but it just seemed a little overpriced for Blackwood. We will go back because the food is good.

Used to come here often. Haven't been in ages and wish we hadn't bothered. Most of the food was really watery. The quality just wasn't there. The way they've covered up the kitchen should have been a clue. Taste lacked. Quality not there. Prawns like farm food pellets. I have never written such a negative review. But will never return.

Been here a few times for a sit down meal but also had several take away meals delivered. Doesn't matter which you do as the food is absolutely spot on. Clean non greasy food with a great taste. Unlike most Indian food if you order different curries here they actually taste different and don't taste as if they are made from a base stock lol. I'd recommend the southern Indian mustard chicken.

The decor is nice which is the only positive. Very slow and poor service. Only two waiters for a busy restaurant just isn't enough. We were in the middle of being served our main course and the waiter went to answer the phone. Had to go and ask for the rest of our food. Lots of people in there complaining about wait.

Service was miserable at best. Flavour was lackluster. And when we complained to management at the end of our meal they offered a £5 discount for a 12 seat meal totaling over £200

tasty meals found it quite expensive as there wasnt much meat in the meals considering the price. e.g about 1/2 chicken breast in one meal.

Pre-ordered an Indian takeaway for New Year’s Eve this morning. Partner went to collect an hour ago, order was read out and was all correct. Got home to find out the naan was missing (first world problem I know) but we rang just to see if it could be delivered to the house. The delivery driver picked up the phone and was happy to drop the missing part of the order to the house . However the manager of the restaurant asked to speak to my partner, stating he would not allow his delivery driver to pop it up and that it would be a 50 minute wait. We asked for a refund of the naan (again we seem petty but it’s the principle). He mumbled about giving us free food next time we visit, eg. We won’t be receiving a refund. Would not rush to order from there again. This is a shame because we’ve had lovely sit down meals there. Thanks again to the delivery driver who offered to drop it up but we appreciate he didn’t want to get in trouble with his manager.

Ordered online and upon collection the restaurant is closed, I’ve attempted to call and no answer, reached out via social media for a refund and I was ignored. There still advertising on Facebook as open as well…

Best Chinese in the area and best value. Used regularly never had a bad meal. Always collect and food is piping hot. Can't comment on delivery time as never had food delivered.

Turned up at 2:30 today to be told there were no tables available until 4pm yet the lady behind the bar had sat 2 people in front of us straight away and there were times available to book today on their website at the same time we had turned up. Make that make sense. The couple in front of us were told that it would be 45 mins to an hour wait, which I understand if it's busy but there were tables available and other people were found a table before us. How can you treat people differently to others. Please explain that to us bumble bee because it makes no sense. UPDATE Thanks Mr Lewis for commenting back to me. I would like to first comment on the fact that we were NOT told by the lady at the bar that the couple in front of us had the last table. We were told that there was no tables until 4PM, although there were 1 or 2 tables that were dirty and could have been cleaned for us to be able to have the chance to dine or have a drink at your establishment. I find what you had stated to be not the truth and for you to place a request upon my review to be removed because 'we didn't dine or drink at your restaurant' is unfair. How could we when we didn't have the chance to? Your website clearly stated that there were bookings available to be made 2:45pm onwards, therefore how can your website state that when you have 'no tables available' is beyond me. I find this response to be rather confusing and not all the truth. Me and my family used to dine at your restaurant a lot as we always had a very happy and nice meal or 2 there, however this experience has put me off wanting to dine at your establishment again. I hope you see this comment and find out the truth, rather than give some form of answer which doesn't speak any truth in it. We understand that places are busier than ever, especially with it being Christmas yet it left me and my mother baffled by how there was clearly room for 2 more paying customers. I hope to get a reply from you, yet I don't expect one really.

What a waste of time kept phoning they kept telling me food was on its way trying to get a refund an hour after delivery time I think if they can’t deliver on time we should get a refund for the delivery charge
