Juwel (size 10 feet) served us very well and said the Garlic Tandoori Chilli chicken was amazing. He was correct! Nice food all round. If I lived round here it would be a regular takeaway.

My Boyfriend and I, love this restaurant. we have been several times for a meal and a takeaway. I have loved all the food I have tried. I recently turned vegetarian, and there are a-lot of great options.

**"A Truly Unforgettable Dining Experience Thanks to Russell!"** I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Sima Restaurant in Porthmadog, and what made the evening truly special was our fantastic waiter, *Russell*. From the moment we arrived, Russell greeted us with a warm smile and struck up a conversation that immediately made us feel at home. His ability to connect with guests is extraordinary—within minutes, it felt like we were chatting with an old friend. Russell is not only incredibly attentive, but he’s also *entertaining*. He shared fascinating stories about his love for sailing and even mentioned how he once rescued a stranded kayaker off the coast of Porthmadog! His knowledge of local history added a unique flavor to the evening, and his sense of humor kept us laughing throughout the meal. He truly has a gift for brightening the atmosphere. Now, onto the food—wow! The meal was exquisite. From the perfectly cooked lamb to the delicate spices in the curry, every dish was a delight. The portions were generous, and considering the quality, the prices were incredibly reasonable. Russell was spot-on with his recommendations, guiding us through the menu with genuine care, making sure each dish suited our preferences. Russell’s attentiveness didn’t stop with the food—he made sure our drinks were topped up, anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and ended the meal with a lovely little treat. His combination of professionalism and charisma made this one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. If you’re in Porthmadog, make sure to visit Sima Restaurant, and if you’re lucky enough to have Russell as your waiter, you’re in for an unforgettable evening. **Five stars all the way!**

I didn't like the chicken Madras

Hi Russell. Thankyou the meal we had last night was very good .would recommend you to all my friends and family .yours Mr Brown

Fantastic Indian restaurant. The staff were really friendly, the food was superb. Not too expensive either. Overall a great place to eat. Would 100% recommend and will certainly be going back again. And again.

Excellent service from Russell. Glass breakage was handled really well. (Isaac says sorry again) The Special Garlic Chicken was lovely, (top end spicy for dish type). Mango and Honey special with lamb really nice mild choice that's a bit different. Butter chicken rich n creamy, good size tender chicken. Overall well worth a visit for an Indian in a small town in Wales!

called in here by chance, with my elderly parents, wife and kids (8 &7). although busy, the waiter (Russell) was fantastic, he did everything you could wish for to accomodate us and to make my mum (who is very hard to please -some would call difficult) feel at ease and welcome. i would go far as to say he was one of the nicest waiters i have ever met, despite the fact that he was running the whole show practically single handed. the food was good taste wise, however the lamb was tough, but again Russell exchanged the dishes with sincere apologies (not his fault) and the owner came over to apologise alsoand took the dishes off the bill without being asked. all in all the experience was very good and i will definately return. give it a try i doubt you will leave dissapointed.

Went to eat in the restaurant for a change as we normally get take out Russell booked a table for use and said that he would make sure that our young children have anything that they like to eat. From the minute we arrived to us leaving Russell was so welcoming and on hand to make our experience an absolute pleasure. Thank you Russell. I would defiantly recommend this place for a family meal for any occasion.

Amazing food and service please keep it up

Fantastic Indian restaurant, friendly staff couldn’t do more for us. We were in town for a few days and didn’t want to suffer hotel food. Not our usual Indian we weren’t too sure how the dishes would compare to our usual place. Our daughter likes quite plain food so they changed out the chicken in her dish when she found it too “spicy”. No complaints from the rest of us, although we ordered way too much a biryani here would easily serve two with some sides. If I was in town again I’d definitely be back here.

Four adults plus one child. Russell was very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Food and service brilliant. We all had poppadoms and dips. One tandoori mixed grill. One passanda. One korma and one tikka masala. Garlic naan vegetable rice mushroom rice and pilau rice. Pints of cobra ❤️ chips for the child and a bit of everyone’s curry. Defy going back.

Good Indian food and friendly staff. I took mixed grill which was nice. The facilities are ok, we sat upstairs. I would go here again

Visiting the area, rainy evening and fancied a curry, this is a great restaurant, friendly staff and good quality tasty fresh food.

A great evening in a very hospitable restaurant! Food was excellent and Russed was a great host and couldn't do more to help. Would definitely visit again!

Light fluffy naan, great veg dishes, warm cheerful service - exactly what we wanted!

Rang to see if had a table last minute, and so glad we found this Indian restaurant. Service was great. Regular checkins to see if all ok and if needed anything else. Staff very friendly, accomodating and attentive. Food was tasty! Atmosphere was great. Music in background. Loud enough to enjoy but quiet enough that you could still enjoy a nice chat during meal. Would definitely return again next time we visit Porthmadog in the future.

Ordered Duck Tikka Balti take away late evening while staying at Premier Inn. It was the worst curry i have ever had. Wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

Traditional good Indian-Pakistani cuisine. Customers welcome but rushed for the next diners- too bad.

Poor!! Had booked table for 4 people about 10 days earlier for Fri 2nd Aug, 7pm. Arrived to be told table wasn't available yet, come back at 7.15, had to hang around in the rain outside. Went back in, table still not ready. Gone 7.30 before seated. Very chaotic, too much priority for takeaways. Wasn't an enjoyable experience. Management need to up there game, we are all local, once the visitors have packed up and gone back home, it's people like us who keep the local businesses going through the long winter months. We won't be going back for seconds.

Excellent curry and hospitality whilst we waited for our takeaway

Family ordered a takeout, all the meals were lovely, not to greasy and all tasted homemade. Would eat here again.

Faultless meal and service. Can’t recommend this place enough

On holiday in the area and decided to try Sima as we are devout Indian food lovers. It was excellent! Food was delicious and service friendly and efficient. Good stream of customers while we were there which is always a good sign. Decor could do with an update but it's the food that counts and that was scrumptious and plentiful (we were totally wedged!) Would definitely visit again if back in the area.

Unfortunately first day of holiday & food was disappointing. Lamb tikka the meat wasn't cooked enough & chewy which spoilt my experience. My partner was also disappointed with his Chicken Birayani was too salty. Won't be back as I've had awful stomach cramps since.

Walked in without booking and was able to be seated downstairs. Service was amazing and really fast, food was delicious. We all enjoyed our meal. One main each, rice between two, and naan between two. Would definitely recommend eating here

Ordered for collection tonight, food was ready exactly when they said on the phone it would be to the minute and it was all delicious, amazing service too, genuinely friendly!

Food is superb, genuinely one of the best curries I've ever had. OK so the restaurant is more like a cafe and the service is a bit dodgy but it is worth the 5* review because that matters much less than what you eat. Also liked that it's one of the very few restaurants in Porthmadog that serves food after 8pm

Visiting from Canada, I enjoy eating Indian food. This restaurant was top notch food with top notch service. Excellent experience all around.

We called in without booking on a Thursday night in June, small sitting area downstairs but more tables upstairs. We ordered Popadoms, Chicken Shaslick and Chicken jalfrezi.nan bread and pillau rice, Food was tasty, I would have preferred the chicken Shashlick to have been served separately from the salad, I spoke to the manager and he agreed it was probably best to serve the salad separately. Having said this the food was good and very tasty. Probably the best Jalfresi my husband has had in a while. The Waiters were very friendly and welcoming. We can recommend and will return when we are in Porthmadog again.

Looking for a place to eat we saw the good reviews and so we booked Not disappointed Really enjoyed the food and the service I had chicken tandouri partner had lamb balti Also popadoms dips naan and pilau rice Food was excellent and service was very attentive Also the wine was very good (we chose chianti) and at under £15 not over priced Will definitely be going here again

Looking for somewhere to eat for a romantic meal for two we saw the good reviews and booked it Never been here before Not disappointed Food excellent service could not be faulted I chose chicken tikka tandoori partner chose lamb balti We also had popadoms and dips plus pillau rice and garlic naan Chose Chianti as our wine Wine was excellent and priced at under £15 was £5 cheaper than we might have expected for that quality of wine Staff were very attentive It was our first visit but it will not be our last

Walked in felt very welcomed great staff food was amazing would definitely come again 🙂

Really friendly staff, food was incredible.

Fantastic Little Restaurant, My First time Ordering here as a Take out, Nice and Clean Staff Are Polite The Tike masala was To die for Butter chicken Amazing Taste on Both, Highly Recommend Dont be Sceptical because its cash only on Take out.. 10/10 for Food 10/10 for Service 10/10 for Cleanliness

Very nice Indian 100% recommend the honey and mango chicken tikka dish , not a long wait for food , tasted great , good value for money and the service was great too Nice ice cold pint of cobra too 🍻

Very impressed with the food; fresh produce, great flavours and generous portions, yet well priced. Clean and attractive restaurant. Friendly attentive staff. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, and hope to come back soon when in the area again.

Amazing! Genuinely the best Indian we've ever had. Delicious food and great service from very attentive servers (who even had enough energy to deal with our dry british attempts at humour). Next time we're in the area we'll definitely be back :)

Good value tasty food served well. Had main course mixed grill as starter between the 2 of us which was particularly nice.

Had a large takeaway and collected. Service and food brilliant. Highly recommend.

If you want a very quick meal go here as we were out in under an hour and we had poppadoms a starter and mains, which all came in very rapid succession Made me a prawn puri which is on the takeaway menu only but they were happy to make it and it was very nice! Mains were ok My husband enjoyed the chilli garlic chicken with parathas My butter chicken was like cubed tikka chicken in the sauce Tasted nice but chicken was a bit overcooked Felt like we were rushed as they seemed busy and it was still early but I don't think there are many evening restaurants in Porthmadog! Felt like indigestion was about to take hold! 😐

I come here every year with a friend when on route to Anglesey. The food is always superb and the friendly service is another reason we come back every year. Onion bargees are fantastic. Will be back next year.

We were struggling to find a nice place to eat on High Street, and finally googled “restaurants” on Google maps and Sima Tandoori came up and looked great from the pics. It exceeded expectations! Great staff, great food. So glad we sat downstairs as Ally “Paddy” chatted with us during our meal and we learned about the nuances of Indian food vs Bangladeshi food! Highly recommend!

Amazing food and friendly staff 😁

Amazing curry house the gents on the door where more than welcoming and accommodating on a late Sunday night , sat our table of three down very promptly, gave us a 10% discount. Brought out some free somas and some amazing food, the manger siad it was one of their best dishes and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend the tandoori garlic chilly chicken !

Our takeaway order was incorrect….i mean do you really need 5 x portions of rice for four main courses? And they forgot our starters…at which point of course we were back at the house. Best advice - check the receipt and order before leaving. The vegetarian food was fine, chicken dishes were average

It’s Beautiful But the food could do with a little salt :)

Food was delicious! Naan and curry were perfect.

I visited this place last summer and I must say its one of the vest curries I've had and that's me coming from Birmingham. I can't remember the hosts name but he new Birmingham well and mentioned his chef is from there too 🙌🏼 outstanding 👏 ill be back

Had a takeaway from here last night.very good service and very good food very pleased

This place is disgrace to Indian cuisine, we ordered chilli paneer and what we got in a plate was 4 paneer cubes with some tomato sauce and cheese, who on Earth adds cheese to chilli paneer, not only that also the picture attached is Dal Tadka without any Tadka, even at hospitals they serve more edible food than this. I wish I could give minus stars.

Food was ok but nothing special and my chicken was a little tough and the naan was flat and stodgy. The saag aloo was very nice as was the Cobra. Didn't like the dining area or the atmosphere plus people drinking at the bar on their phones with pointless music and sounds loud were very off putting!

Lovely food but isn't available for delivery as advertised

Very kind staff, welcoming even though I came in close to closing time. Witnessed staff dealing with drunk foreigners who don't know what they want and were very patient, good recommendations and helpful. Would definitely visit again.
