Red Indigo in Powys

We were staying in the village and rang at late notice to see if there was a table available. Yes! There was and although the restaurant is just outside of the main area it was fairly busy. :-)The service was top notch with our waiter being attentive and understanding,I cook lots of Indian food at home and believe myself to be pretty good at it. Especially with the knowledge that the food is fresh and cooked/marinated within the optimum time frames.Red Indigo’s food did not disappoint! The Lamb Tikka was awesome whilst the Lamb Chilli Garlic Marsala was very close to being as magnificent as mine! ;-) Really lovely restaurant. Sad to see a couple of bad reviews as that is most certainly not what we experienced. I’d go as far as to say this might be my favourite Indian restaurant of all time.Thanks Red Indigo. :-)

Great service and great food even on a short notice. After deciding on a whim to go for a curry we were welcomed with a table and great food.

We were staying in the town and ordered a delivered take away. The food arrived early, was hot and was very tasty. It was quite expensive, but you treat yourself when on holiday don't you

After a long days walking we had an excellent curry. Very tasty, prompt friendly service and a couple of freezing cold cobra's to wash it down. Excellent place and good luck to them.

Very poor Indian food, insane amount of onions. Butter chicken was like a home made korma. Mutter paneer had so many onions it was inedible.

Had a takeaway from here last weekend whilst staying in the area. The food was all well cooked, piping hot and decently priced. The lamb tikka was moist and tasty, the chicken tikka bhunna had plenty of chunks of meat, the rice light and fragrant, however the matter mushroom paneer was a little bland. All in all a decent meal for the price.

Ordered 2 curries and 2 deserts for me and my girl. This being the first take away since the start of lockdown and the food was inedible. My chicken in my madras was hard and horrible and both deserts had mould in them and couldn’t be eaten. I’ve never been more disgusted by a take away in my life

We had food from Red Indigo in Crickhowell delivered to our door in Gilwern last night. From phoning to place the order through to delivery and the quality of the food itself, we could not find fault. The order was taken efficiently by phone and I was able to pay there and then. The delivery was quick and friendly and the food still lovely and warm. We had Saag Paneer, Vegetable Korma and Lamb Malai with rice and poppaduns with chutneys. The food was all high quality and delicious. The Korma was full of vegetables and not just mostly sauce as can sometimes be the case, the lamb was tender and tasty, and the Saag Paneer was also lovely. This was a real treat during these days of lockdown! Thank you Red Indigo! We will definitely be ordering again.

We visited Red Indigo for a meal on Saturday evening. I cannot rate it highly enough, staff were fantastic, very friendly and nothing was too much bother and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely revisit when in the area.

It's our favourite place for a meal, going tonight for my birthday, wonderful food, fantastic staff, very friendly, amazing food, would highly recommend you try it.

Absolutely love this place, the staff are amazing and very friendly. The food is always brilliant and it’s a pleasure to come and eat here. Definitely the best Indian restaurant around.

Red Indigo is just outside Crickhowell and happened to be at the end of our road so we walked there one night on our holiday in Wales.We were impressed by the menu which had many unusual dishes and even more impressed and delighted with the food itself. Everything tasted fresh and all dishes were distinctly different. The staff were helpful and professional. Needless to say, we went several times and were never disappointed. The restaurant has a car park so there's no excuse not to try it!

Popped it early for a curry after a day of walking. Good poppadoms and tasty veggie curries were just the ticket. Could have been a bit spicier though.

Had a take away, disappointed over priced and bland.. 3 curries, 3 rice and nan nearly £40...not worth it.

I have visited here a few times during July & August and the food has always been fantastic. I have tried quite a few of the starters and mains and everything has always been delicious. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and make it a pleasure to return. I love this place and will definitely go back.

We visited Red Indigo during a trip to Crickhowell during late August 2019. The restaurant, which is clearly an old pub, is within walking distance from Crickhowell. We were staying on the Riverside Caravan park and it was about a ten minute walk from the restaurant on fairly level ground. We didn't book and on arrival we were seated in the entrance lobby but soon taken to a table in the restaurant. The appearance is 'slightly worn' but clean and tidy so no issues there. We were served with drinks fairly quickly and handed menus by a pleasant waiter. We ordered the popadoms and pickles, starters and mains with rice and naans for four people. Service was fairly quick and the food very good. Our bill came to just under £100 which included two rounds of drinks so less than £25 per person. We would certainly return to Red Indigo on future visits.

Love the Red Indigo. Lovely place and lovely staff. I don't have to travel very far to this restaurant so that make's me a very happy customer.

Spent the evening at this restaurant after walking to the summit of Pen y fan on a what ended up to be a cold and wet evening. The quality of the food and the service was excellent and I can certainly recommend this restaurant to any motorist that are not local to the area and are looking for a nice meal.

So when we travel as a family, we like most British families enjoy a ruby and this is an honest review from a British Indian. Like most commercial Indian restaurants the menu is standard. Poppadoms were standard. Service was really slow, 1 hour and waiting on mains when the place is half empty? Aloo paratha had no seasoning but the rest of the dishes were standard British. Probably tastes better when drunk. 5.2 rating average and would not return.

We ordered quite a lot of food and it was all hot and tasty. Enjoyed it all very much apart from the onion bhaji which was hard.

My wife and I were visiting Crickhowell and wanted a takeaway Indian. We were lucky to choose this restaurant. The food was fantastic and of a very high quality. It wasn't cheap but well worth it. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We had butter chicken and a similar dish which also contained garlic and onion.

We ate here on a Saturday night after walking all day. Great service and very helpful staff ... good choice of specials although I would have like mine to be a bit spicier. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the town centre but worth the walk for a good meal.

I absolutely love The Red Indigo. I like to sit in the lovely atmosphere of the restaurant . Staff are all lovely. I also often have a takeaway which is just as good.

The menu is varied and caters for most taste - I enjoy hot curries and the selection on offer meets my needs. The staff are very friendly and hospitable.

We have been visiting this place relatively frequently over the past two years. This evening we ordered a takeaway meal and were very disappointed.

Not a bad place. Great staff, service & reasonable prices. Food was delicious too. And would recommend it. Very small menu for an Indian restaurant I thought

if you enjoy Indian food with a spice kick, then unfortunately you will be disappointed here. We ordered king prawn balti, salmon tikka, brinjal bhaji, bindi bhaji, tarka dal, pilau rice, and vegetable stuffed paratha.

Visited on a Thursday evening. Restaurant was not full but atmosphere and welcome were up to the usual high standard. Tried a different dish which didn't disappoint. Staff always knowledgeable and happy to advise on dishes. Portion sizes are generous. Very friendly staff.

Visited last night, great food, ambiance and service. Very reasonably priced with friendly staff! Would definitely recommend!

We visited this curry house whilst on holiday. We love this cuisine so often visit these type of restaurants.The food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. The naans were absolutely gorgeous! Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We all had a different main and everyone enjoyed their meal.

We got the recommendation from a friend for when we moved to the area. This is now our local Indian choice for date night

if you love Indian food then the Red Indigo is a must. Delicious freshly cooked food cooked to perfection. Staff friendly and courteous. Great evening out.

Came here for a take away meal while staying in the nearby area. Service was quick and the food was very good.

This is the worst ‘Indian’ food we have ever eaten. All curries were too sweet and too red (so much food colour), you could say they definitely came out of a tub. So bad that my kids who love Indian food just ate chips and left the rest. The service was terrible, no one took our order inspite of asking a few times for it, and we received our food 45min after ordering (what I don’t understand is if all they had to do was mix sauces out of a tub with veggies, what took them so long).

Best Indian I’ve had. Found this place by chance staying in local b&b.; Tasty food, served promptly. Great service, lovely staff. Big portions, i couldn’t finish mine. Cant recommend enough.

Give it a try, best in town. Delicious with great staff. Very friendly and as always very accommodating.

We dined here on a Sunday evening and I think they had more customers than anticipated as the 2 waiters struggled to keep up. However the food was excellent! The restaurant is tastefully decorated and very clean. Worth a visit

We stopped off at red indigo as we passed through crickhowell as it offered good parking and we were in the mood for a curry! The decoration of the restaurant is quite funky and it has a cosy feel. There were limited lagers available but I suppose it’s not a bar is it! When we entered the staff were really friendly, the young girl serving at the bar was smiley and polite!

We ordered food quite late as it was 9.30 pm and surprisingly it was last opened restaurant nearby still serving food. It was excellent and very delicious. Many thanks to staff for understanding of our special request and courtesy.

Fantastic staff and delicious food - very accommodating would definitely return: highly recommend the outside seating area

We were staying next door at the Manor hotel and decided to walk down the drive to this restaurant. Very attentive service and delicious food.

This place is unprepossessing from the outside and we stumbled on it by accident following a walk in the hills above it. Menu looked good so we went the next night and that was a good decision by us. The service was excellent from the lady on the desk, the waiter and (I assume) the manager. Only 3 staff and a decent turnover of customers for a Monday night. Food was excellent (my meat grill and my wifes biriyani) and good sized portions - so much so we took the rest with us which provided lunch on a walk the following day. Asked the desk to book us a cab at the end which arrived in 3 minutes so all-in-all a perfect evening. Poppadoms, 2 beers, large glass of wine and 2 main courses all for well under £40. I would definitely recommend.

We have had a meal in the restaurant a few times, but also had take away, but both equally good. The chicken dansak was very hot but good and the channa masala was excellent. I had Chat as a starter which was something new and delicious, I would definitely have it again. Side dishes like onion bargee, Dahl and mushroom pilau rice just complete the experience. Reasonable price. I would recommend both sitting in and take out.

Great take-away from Red Indigo. Bar in waiting area so you can grab a drink while waiting for your food. Lovely food, friendly staff, reasonably priced, plenty of veggie options.

Grabbed a takeaway here. Plenty of space to wait and have a beer if needed! Food was of good quality, plenty of options and very tasty with reasonable price. Would come again. Thanks for an enjoyable meal :-)

The restaurant is unprepossessing from the outside but inside it is clean and well presented. Pleasant attentive staff who made sure everything was to our satisfaction.

We visited this restaurant on the way home from a cricket match in Crickhowell and were delighted with our choice. The waiters were SO helpful and kind and made sure we were happy with everything (this may be because we had the slightly squashed table in the corner)! The food SHONE! We all had a different dish and we all loved what we chose! Well done Red Indigo and lucky old Crickhowell!

We had a delicious meal, beautifully presented, with friendly and efficient service. The food also arrived quickly. Some Indian restaurant food is a bit oily and overcooked, but this was perfect. The saag was a very tasty fresh vegetable dish, the tarka dhal was substantial and delicious, not too runny. There are also a number of Chef specials. I had a Mintawala (I think), and it was unusual and very tasty. You can also get the side dishes as mains (still quite cheap), which is great for vegetarians. The decor is bright and not cliche Indian, but there is a little tucked away low-lit bit for anyone feeling romantic!

Went with family for a meal, obviously an old pub. Food was delicious, every part of it. Portions were generous, hot and meat was tender. Staff were polite and attentive. And the decor was really funky.

This superb Indian restaurant looks distinctly unimpressive from the outside, resembling a bog standard, unloved house on a busy road. My wife and I visited on a cold, damp November night on which a misanthropic wind was doing its best to convince us to remain holed up in the hotel along the road. Thankfully we didn't though as this is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in. The food was spankingly good and the staff were sparkling and attentive. Our elegantly bearded waiter cut a very fine dash and wouldn't have looked out of place on the set of a Bollywood blockbuster. In the unlikely circumstances of finding myself on death row I'd ask for my last meal to be provided by this place.

They have a good range of vegetarian dishes; the usual curry house offerings and also some unusual additions. All were...

Very good meal, good service, surprised that it was so quiet. We will definitely return, the onion bhajis were excellent.

Only ever had a take out the food is very good, best Indian food within miles. The staff are friendly...

Very well decorated, attentive staff. It was very cold inside though, the toilets were freezing and there wasn’t any heating...

I have eaten chicken balti and chicken rogan josh in other restaurants and never found so many onions/tomatoes respectively in...

We have ordered from here before and it was amazing but this time it was so oooo oily. The chicken...

Visited this evening. Greeted and quickly shown to our table. Simple decor, great atmosphere and the place was busy but...

Stunning! Called in on the way back to our caravan. Great value for money, good sized portions best curry I've...

Don't be put off from the outside.

Very nice meal and well presented. The medium dish was not very hot/spicy and wish I had asked as I would probably have gone for a hot or medium/hot dish. Saying that it did not take away the enjoyment of the delicious food. The waiting staff could have been a little happier, I'm not sure they wanted to be there!

We enjoyed a meal for two. We enjoyed the food. The portions were generous and nicely presented. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere.

Great Service with Average Indian food, amazing Lavatory's worth a visit just to use them. There is nothing wrong with the standard of the food just the bog standard fare.

We went here on Tuesday evening to celebrate my son and daughters birthday which are a month apart so we always go half way between both. It was the first time I've been to red indigo although my daughter had been previously and really recommended it. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Everywhere was clean and bright. The meal was delicious, probably the best Indian meal I've ever had!! A very reasonable price too! We will definitely be going back.

Well not exactly as per the title but the food is very good and I eat regularly at 'Indian' restaurants up and down the UK. On a cold evening the log fires are lit and the internal stone walls give it a lovely ambience inside.

Don't be put off by the exterior of this restaurant which can look like it's closed down. It's nice inside and the food is excellent. A pleasant surprise to find a really good takeaway on holiday. Very friendly service.

A little bit out of the way so we weren't expecting much but it turned out that be lovely! Service was great, very friendly and attentive. The food was very good, fresh and flavoursome. Would definitely visit again, even if the decor was a little odd

Tried this restaurant back in July and as far as Indian restaurants go it's a 5 ⭐️ from me. Food is excellent and really good value. Not much to say except enjoy your meal. I certainly did Only tiny criticism is that the furniture is bit uncomfortable and cheap looking.

Tandoori mixed grill - not great. The meat quality didn't seem very good, the sheesh kebab was not good The garlic chilli chicken was delicious The garlic nan was lovely Overall ok - experience definitely depends on what you go for! Good service, very friendly team

Ordered from here after we couldn't get tables at local pubs. Good standard of Indian from hot and spicy to milder options. Plenty of meat/chicken in curries. Starter was a bit disappointing but overall we enjoyed our food.

Visited the Red Indigo for the first time and simply wow. The staff were welcoming and had time for a laugh. The food was spot on with not one complaint. We all struggled to eat the meal as you just wanted to eat it to savour the flavour. What wasn't eaten was wrapped up to take away. This place is a must to visit for anyone in the area, especially if only holidaying; like us. Thank you for a great meal Red Indigo.

Thank you for a lovely takeaway meal. I had accidentally phoned your other restaurant, but the staff were really helpful and cooked the order for a second time. Our meal was beautifully cooked and really tasty. The portions were very generous and so will feed some of us for a second day!

We came to this lovely little place nearby where we were staying, which on the outside doesn't look great, but the inside was really nice. The food was amazing and very tasty and the service was really good. It was a busy place, and clearly very popular with the locals along with tourists. Good prices. Recommended.

I absolutely love this place, if I could rate it higher than 5 I would!We always have a lovely welcome and a fantastic service whenever we order from here! ALL the staff are friendly and helpful!

Popped here for a curry whilst on holiday in the area. Really lovely little restaurant, staff very friendly. Great range of dishes on the menu, including a lot of small plates, so if you're not sure what to have you can have a selection to share (as we did). Beautifully freshly cooked, the paneer and okra dishes were particularly good. Quick service with a smile and good value for money too.

We popped in on the off chance after a very long tiring car journey. The staff were courteous and attentive and the food was delicious. The poppadoms were fresh and the chutneys were so good we ordered more poppadoms. I had samosas which were the best I've ever eaten ! The lamb biriyani was really tasty and my husband had fish which he said was perfect ! Will definitely return if we are up that way in future.

My Husband and I visited Red Indigo last night. We live locally and have used this restaurant many times for both sit down and takeaway meals. Last night was no exception .... Our meals were absolutely outstanding all freshly cooked with high end ingredients and superb flavour. Curries were amazing so was our chicken biryani. Our waiter for the evening was Usman and nothing was too much trouble for him, very polite and attentive. We had a great bottle of wine served in huge fishbowl glasses. All in all it was a wonderful evening and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you Red Indigo. We shall be returning soon.

If you are looking for an authentic Indian meal, search no further than Chef King and his team @ the Red Indigo restaurant where the presentation and food flavors are special along with waiters Mo and Osmond pulling out all the stops to make you feel most welcome. You can enjoy your meal inside or out with a log fire too.Best Indian food in the area by far!!

Wonderful food and staff. We were well looked after and because it was for a special occasion we got a private booth which really topped it off. Highly recomended

Omg went here last night for food with my husband, 28th feb ,got to say its the nicest indian curry i have had and the staff were warm and welcoming and couldn't do enough for you, would recommend this restaurant to anyone,looking forward to taking my family there for a meal.

Came her for a meal with my boyfriend, the food was lovely my dish came with chunky roasted peppers and onion which I loved! Brilliant service and nice little restaurant. Will defo return if I'm back in Wales!

Food was OK without being special in any way. The restaurant is small and slightly cramped being a small converted public house formerly known as the "White Hart". Prices are quite reasonable though which made the whole experience a little more acceptable.

A bit more expensive that most Indian restaurants but the food is amazing and a great choice. The fish curry is expensive but well worth it will definitely be going again and they do take away.

We popped in on a Sunday evening whilst staying at a nearby hotel. We both loved the food which was fresh , tasty ,well-spiced and plentiful - We even took some home in a doggy bag as we didn't want to waste it !The waiters Usman and Nizan couldn't do enough for us and were friendly , polite and helpful. Also the drinks were great value - The excellent well-priced wine is served in 'goldfish bowls' and the cobra lager was extremely refreshing .The only thing lacking in this restaurant is a bit more authenticity! I think you need some more Indian decor plus traditional music playing in the background. This didn't affect our enjoyment however !

Food was brilliant, the sizzling dishes are amazing, Full of flavour. The naan breads are huge! Service was brilliant, all the staff really attentive. Really clean and they had a log fire going, it was a great atmosphere.Really glad we found this place on our weekend break!

4 of us called in on a Saturday evening for a birthday meal. Poppadums were crisp and light - dips provided a range of tastes and Flavours. Main dishes were superb - chicken biryani a highlight. Log burner provided a cosy backdrop..Would recommend to all

Complete waste of time and travelling to find out you were closed despite confirming your opening times last night. Will never return

Food was outstanding; had a selection of tasty side dishes and a beautiful peshwari naan. The mutter paneer was delicious and the cheese succulent and would recommend the channa massala to anyone visiting. Have heard great things about their main dishes as well but I tend to like getting my hand on a few more dishes when I eat out. Along with great food the service was great had a lovely man serving us called Mr Usman he went out of his way to help my vegetarian friend pick interesting dishes.

After a long miserable day at work, me and my partner decided to go out for a meal as couldn't be bothered to cook. Our spirits were immediately lifted as soon as we were greeted by the red indigo staff! very warm, welcoming and naturally smiley, great to see. The great service continued with quick drinks and poppadum's, before the most incredible meal was served!! I opted for the chicken saag, and my partner the lamb bhoona, we both agreed they were the best curries we had ever eaten! cannot fault my experience here, and thank you to the staff for a lovely evening. See you again soon without a doubt.

Very lovely restaurant, food is impeccable!! waiters are always keen too help and drinks arrive promptly. We choose to have a chicken kurma and a duck dupiza, both full of wonderful flavours! Thank you so much team red indigo. Very well priced also. Good atmosphere. We will be back!

See title... Enough said!! I challenge you to find a better Indian meal this side of India! :-D Fully recommended to the hungry and not so hungry traveller alike! Waylaying your journey here will not disappoint!

We arrived in Crickhowell with no where to stay or to eat. We asked for recommendations and came to Red Indigo. Such lovely staff, great seating and a wonderful menu. The food was excellent! And very good value. It's a short walk from the centre of Crickhowell on the A40 road towards Brecon. There is parking.

Warm and friendly staff and one of the most tasty indian meals i have had in a long while , well worth a visit

We have come to Crickhowell for the last few years and always mean to go here and haven't so this time we were determined to have some food from there.We went on line and had a look at the takeaway menu which is different to the in house one. The take away menu is amazing so so much choice. We had Sag aloo to start with popadoms follows by chicken tikka and chicken saag and a garlic and coriander nann, all were so good. I was tempted by the tandoori chicken but it's on the bone but they offered to do it off the bone for me which was great and shows it's all cooked fresh.We both said one of the best curries we've had and really friendly staff.

We've dined here a number of times as my parents live locally. Great food & service. Highly recommended!

Struggling to think of where to eat on a weekend away we decided to go for a curry and ventured upon the red indigo. What a findLovely interior to the restaurant. All very clean and well looked after. Staff were great. Whilst a usual Indian menu the cooking was lovely and we ordered plenty and finished every last bit. Really was top notch. Would recommend to anyone and will be going again if back in the area. Thank you!

it was a friday night and the takeaway part of the restaurant was heaving - a sign that it was popular and the food was therefore good. The staff were hurried because it was so busy but they were spot on; efficiently taking drinks, starters & mains & getting them to the table quickly.The food was excellent. It was a little cramped but that is probably because it's a victim of its own success and needs bigger premises? (although there was an upstairs and a group of six went there later, so maybe ask for that if you want a bit more intimacy?)

Visited many times for take-away, friendly staff always with a smile and never been disappointed with a meal from here, piping hot and always very tasty, would recommend.

Lovely friendly staff-maybe a bit to keen as it was a quiet night. Also the food was fab, good size portions and all well prized! Been here a fair few times and always good!

Terrible take-away from Red Indigo Crickhowell tonight. Ordered Chicken Jaypuri, supposedly a Red Indigo 'House Special' at a premium price (£9.25) with " tender barbequed meat, chunky onions, pepper and mushroom". Horrified when I took the cardboard lid off the container to see the surface of the dish covered with masses of great horrible yellowy lumps of inedible outer onion skin with blemishes and veins clearly visible. Further exploration revealed two tiny pieces of red pepper and hardly any mushroom. Phoned restaurant to tell them - totally indifferent. "Next time you come in tell us". There won't be a next time!

Recently completed a Paragliding course in Crickhowell and was advised to visit the Red Indigo. I was very impressed. we had a large group of 11 and were seated upstairs away from the couples downstairs which I thought was a good idea. the waiter was very keen to get us settled and bring us our drinks. Everyone received their meals at almost the same time which was good considering the waiter had to carry our meals up the stairs, he definitely earned his money tonight!Would recommend this indian to anyone in the area or from further afield.
