Red Fort Caerleon in Newport - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Well prepared vegan options - the vegetable korma with coconut milk was divine, the aubergine stuffed with chickpea curry was superb!

What a gem! We visited here for the first time (Why haven't we been here before!?) and had the most delicious meal. Everything was very fresh indeed. We particularly loved how crisp and tasty the vegetables were in the dishes. Quite often they are over cooked in curries, but certainly not here! The staff were excellent and service was very prompt. We'll be back very soon!

The food is absolutely amazing and every bit as good as all the reviews say. The menu is so varied and creative, the food so fresh, locally sourced and each dish tasted like it was authentically prepared and cooked. We are both foodies and chefs - we have not tasted better Indian food in the U.K. than this. The service was impeccable too - kind, gracious and so considerate. A massive thank you. It was my 60th birthday celebration and I’m so delighted we chose to eat at the Red Fort.

Tikka Masala was amazing. Big pieces of chicken

Well, I have worked in Glasgow and Leicester, where they have some very good Indian eateries: this can stand alongside some of the best in those cities. It is very good. It is not a cheap eats place, nor a place just to refuel: to get the best you need a little time. There is a wide range of Indian cuisine....and even the Boss, never the greatest fan of spice, really enjoyed her chicken skewer....moist, succulent and full of flavour. Often the vegetable side is mostly potato, but not here, with a good range of vegetables, just cooked. The Lamb Dansak was excellent......very tender lamb, spicy but sour lentils, plus a good peshwari naan. The portions are generous, but no problem, the kitchen will package up leftovers for you. It was so good, I went back another day for a takeaway.

Very friendly staff and food is excellent and such big portions. Excellent choice and quality of food to be found on the menu. Such a wide choice I didn't know what to choose. There were seven of us, and all of us took a doggy bag home.

Really lovely authentic tasting food, and plenty of it. The only problem was there was not a disabled toilet on the ground floor and was unable to climb steep flight of stairs.

Brilliant night,food gorgeous,staff brilliant,will definitely be back!! Tuesday girls/lighthouse park/ sexy seven.

We just had a delicious meal with fantastic service. The waiters are excellent and care about customers enjoying their food. I would love to try the same food in asian/home style and hope to come back soon as eveverything is beautifully cooked. No puddles of grease or excessive salt here! It was especially nice to see regulars interact with the waiters, creating a warm and welcome atmosphere, perfect for a night away from home.

We had a lovely meal here while in the area for work . A gem of a restaurant which we couldn’t fault. Excellent service, immaculately clean and great tasting authentic type Indian cooking…. What’s not to love !!! We are both Indian so we know what it should taste like !! Our waiter Ahad was so professional and clearly loves what he does, an asset to the restaurant.

Absolutely top class in all departments. Passing through for one night we found this restaurant when our hotel menu was restricted. What an absolute turn of luck. We were quickly seated by the polite staff even without a booking. The menu is extensive and lives up to it's fine Indian dining tag. Immense portions and flavours compared to what are used to in London. Prices in my opinion are very very reasonable and although we may not have the pleasure again any time soon, we will remember our dinner here for a long time to come. Well done guys! Keep up the good work

It was delicious food with excellent customer service. We would definitely recommend to everyone and come back again.

Pre booked a table on a Friday night. It was busy with only 1 or 2 tables unused. Poppadum and chutney tray was nice, as was the wine. I skipped mains and opted for a mixed grill to avoid carbs. It was very nice despite lamb being on the tough side. Hubby had a curry which he enjoyed. Overall great service and despite our bill being £20 more than our usual local Indian restaurant, I would return and probably try a different dish.

Average food but high prices. Was looking forward to eating here given the reviews, but unfortunately the curry (Goan chicken) was underwhelming. At £27 I expected much better but it was pretty flavourless. Very nice toilets though…!

Services was awesome, they were attentive to me and the food came quickly too. It was the best Peshwari Naan I’ve had in a really long time and the Chicken Balti was delicious too. Would recommend.

Went for my birthday, friendly staff and clean dinning area, quite expensive, mint sauce was not nice to heavy on the herbs, all meals and distinctive taste which was off off-putting.

Excellent food, friendly, great and efficient service. It felt very homely.

I’ve eaten here a few times and the quality of the food is consistently good! They also manage to make dishes vindaloo hot at the same time as retaining its flavour! Not cheap but I’m happy to pay for good food!!

Superb food, generous portions, very accommodating and helpful staff. Don’t miss this place ! We’ve been to Caerleon three times from London and every time we tried to get in here as the recommendations and reviews were great. Twice we have tried a walk in and never got in. This time we did an online booking and was gutted when it was fully booked, whilst walking by we tried our luck and popped in, “table for two?” We was told a large party had been cut short from illness, their loss was our gain. The stafff were amazing, friendly and helped with our order. The portions were generous and the food had an extra something about the usual Indian restaurants. When we left we was approached by two members of staff thanking us and talking to us about our experience. 10/10. Best in S.Wales apparently. Why not best in Wales???

Takeaway overpriced £2 charge for delivery ..food turned up an hour late Luke warm minus my nan bread . .then wanted to charge me another £2 to deliver it an hour later no apology ..

Always great welcome service and food But to the member of staff who followed us all the way to the Coldra ( even though we.ignored you flashing us down as we thought you had road rage ) 10/ 10 for giving chase to hand us our onion Bhajis at the roundabout 🙈 Employee of the week award lol 😆

Fabulous food, great customer service. We've been here a few times now over a year or so, and it remains excellent. Sometimes you go back to a restaurant after a period of time and are disappointed, that's not the case here. Recommend sharing, portions are generous, the naan breads are amazing!

I had the Goan Salmon. Nothing special, so would not have recognised this meal as coming from a starred restaurant. The coconut rice was far too sweet as was the Salmon. Took half home with me and added to it to make it better. Grossly overpriced for what it was and wasn’t even served differently. They used the usual stainless steel dishes. For 24.95 for one course I would expect better design. I have paid two thirds less at a take away not far from this restaurant for better food. Very disappointing, won’t visit again.

Enjoyed great food at the Red Fort Caerleon! Great customer service from all, we especially enjoyed our conversation with Ahad.

Red Fort is fantastic. Feisal looked after us beautifully and the food was so good. Loved the Thali. Thanks guys for a wonderful evening!

Thank you for a fantastic evening. Brilliant, tasty food and excellent service. Cannot recommend them enough. Ash is more than a Kong than Elvis.

Staff very friendly and a really nice welcome. Food absolutely fantastic and very generous portions. Will definitely return.

We visited the Red Fort for the first time after moving to the area, on a friends recommendation. We were not disappointed. On entering we received a friendly greeting and the ambience enveloped us as we took our table. From there on it just got better, the menu was varied and interesting, the food arrived promptly and was piping hot. The staff were very friendly and professional and we felt valued as customers. Our dishes were beautifully cooked and presented, and we were even offered a doggy bag to take home the food we couldn’t manage! Overall a great dining experience and a team that really understands how to deliver customer service. We will definitely be going back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Fantastic service, brilliant food and a really nice atmosphere - special shout out to Ash! We were a family of 8 and each of us had enjoyed our meal - very nice evening indeed.

Food really nice...friendly staff....recommend

Surely a test for any restaurant is whether they serve high quality fresh food, in good time and with a huge smile when 26 lively folks get together for a good time and all order individually from the standard menu. The outcome was never in doubt - Magnificent even Bendigedig ! Thankyou Ahad and everyone else front and back of house for making us feel very special. Both quality and quantity of food was excellent. No need to consider other venues - we didn't. This was our second visit and no doubt not our last.

very tasty food and generous portion.staff are friendly and welcoming. our first time in Red fort and not sure what to expect but ended having a pleasant time and enjoyed the meal. will definitely go back. Faisal is very friendly and attentive but so are the others.

I have been twice and have yet to be disappointed by the food. The staff are really friendly also. 10/10

I was so impressed with my food! One of the best curries I have had…I had a vegetable saag with egg fried rice, onion bhaji and a naan bread and it was gorgeous! The service is second to none, the restaurant is well presented and well managed. I will definitely visit again …we had a great girls night out

Well what an amazing experience eating at the Red Fort Caerleon! Only disappointment was that I didn’t take photos! From the time we went in, the service was amazing! They explained the different starters, spice levels for main course and what would suit us, depending on our usual tastes! We re definitely going to have the sharer stack next time! You could taste the spices in the main course, a very delicate blend, even the Nan bread was the best I’ve ever had! You must go and try!

I brought my family here when they visited and it’s the best Indian we’ve had in Wales. The staff was super friendly and the food was authentic, highly recommend.

Son's 50th birthday and his choice of restaurant. Nine of us met and we were all happy with our meals. I started withTandoori King Prawns, which was delicious. Then for the main course I had Delhi Machhalee. I loved the cover on the dish when it arrived and then was quickly removed to reveal a special meal. Attention to our group was first class, and the sparkling birthday 'cake' along with the gift completed a perfect experience. Thank you all once again. We shall be back! One thing I did before we arrived was to decide what I would eat, as there are so many choices.

Wonderful staff and fabulous meals in a relaxing atmosphere. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food and staff service. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and it will be one we will be visiting again.

The best curry I've had in years, great service and the little extras make the difference. The resturant is always spotless and the staff cannot help enough. All dietary requirements covered and a great selection of beverages. Thanks lads

A Staple Curry House situated in the heart of the historic village of Caerleon. Never had a bad takeaway from here and have heard the sit in meal is a 10/10. Would highly recommend if you’re local and/or in the area.

1st time we have been out for an Indian meal, since we returned to UK almost a yr ago. We love this place, great food and great service. A little bit pricy, but worth every penny.
