Taj Mahal in Pembrokeshire

During me and my partners Evening meal to the Taj Mahal In Haverfordwest our visit was greeted well and well presented. When sat down we were offered drinks which we were satisfied. When asked what meal would you like, me and my partner wanted a main meal and no starters which you can completely have with no issue. On this occasion the gentleman serving us refused that we must have something else on the menu as a main course to have and a starter. I asked him please can I have a plain korma because she is a vegetarian he said we do not do plain korma. But on the menu it clearly states that they do, not just vegetarian food but plain Korma and tikka sauces. After a discussion and disagreement, the gentleman wouldn’t give us the meal we wanted and forgot the tikka dish that I asked for. The waiter was extremely rude and didn’t understand us at all. The meal had to have a starter which would have cost over £30. Other people in the restaurant had a similar issue hope this will be resolved soon.

We have been using Taj Mahal for over 2 years now, my wife can’t have oil (or as little as possible) the wizards in the kitchen go out of their way to accommodate our request every time without fail! Further more the Meal tonight was banging!!! Thank you sooo much for amazing food every single time! 11/10!! David & Nic (Devis or Davies you call me) lol

Small wonderful family run business, great food and services.

Second takeaway we’ve had from the Taj Mahal, and it was fantastic again. Certainly the best Indian restaurant in Haverfordwest, and as good as any other I’ve been to in the U.K. Chicken had a lovely texture, and the sauces were a nice consistency and full of flavour. Staff are always pleasant and the orders have been correct both times. Although I’ve not eaten in the restaurant, from what I see it has a nice atmosphere and is well laid out so that the tables aren’t on top of each other. We are hoping to eat in soon when we can get some childcare! Thanks again Jimmy

Never had Indian food this like, tasteless, flavourless and wasn't worth it at all. I had order biryani, allo chat and chicken butter. Very disappointed. I had very seen food like this. I didn't knew food like this would exist. Would not recommend this at all.

Enjoyed the food and the environment.

Excellent service , lovely staff highly recommended

Taj Mahal is copyright, I'm Taj mahal Pembrokeshire, see you in court Mijan and wife Marina

Ce restaurant est une fantastique découverte. On choisit d'abord quel plat principal on veut déguster : poulet, mouton, crevette, etc. Et ensuite on choisit comment on veut qu'il soit préparé. Là on ne comprend rien car c'est écrit en indou et le serveur parle anglais avec un accent gallois Tandoori. Mais c'est pas grave, quelle que soit la configuration, c'est très bon, avec un rapport qualité prix époustouflant. Petit détail mais qui peut être désagréable : ils ne servent pas d'alcool mais on peut apporter sa bouteille.

Early evening walk-in and easy parking on the main road. Friendly greeting at the door and continued good service throughout. Light touch on checking back that everything was okay. Server's recommendations were spot on. Talapia Fish and the Butter Chicken were excellent. (And no after effects!). Another gem in Haverfordwest. Taj Mahal - very highly recommended.

Excellent Indian cuisine. Clean and tidy, good hospitality and great owners

I’ve used this restaurant before but after tonight’s meal all I can say is it’s a ripoff. 3 cans of lemonade were £9. The food was stale and the service was nonexistent. It’s the worst meal I’ve ever eaten and the price was extortionate.Stay away from this restaurant.

We went there several times, every time we had good experience. Polite staff, good food, and lovely ambience.

Best Indian I have had since leaving Leicester.. Stunning!

Ordered a takeaway over the phone for collection. Everything was repeated back to me as I said it. Collected the order and drove it home 15 mins away without checking it (it wasn’t a massive order, so expected it to all be there). Got it home and 1 main dish was missing, 3 rice instead of just 2 and one dish was too spicy to be eaten, even though it was requested to be not at all spicy and “not spicy” was written on the lid. Also couldn’t rationalise what I’d been charged with prices on the menu and what we actually received.

After having a few poor services here we left coming here for a while. However, tonight was excellent with attentive service and super food. Slight issue when the bill came as they tried to charge me for the curry sauce to go with my byriani as I asked for a different sauce to the one that comes with it. They did not inform us of the charge but when questioned removed the price of the sauce. We will be back as the quality and standard of the food here is excellent and I eat in many different Indian restaurants and feel I have a good idea of what is a decent curry. No alcohol served on site and soft drinks are a little expensive. They are more than happy for you to bring your own alcohol though.

We booked the Taj Mahal fairly last minute for 14 of us whilst on holiday. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was great. Our party had the full range of ages and there was something for everyone. I can’t say that the restaurant was glamorous, but the warmth of the welcome more than made up for it!

Fresh chicken, hot and flavour some curries. Superb Naan. You can take your own alcohol here which was really useful. Would go back to this curry house.

Excellent experience, highly recommended, food brilliant, nothing too much trouble, very accommodating for our young grandchildren

Best Indian I've had in ages. I had the mixed starter and then lamb jalfrezi with pilau rice.the food was excellent and the service first class. They do not sell alcohol but you can take your own in and they are happy for you to do this. All in all a great dining experience.

We booked for six of us to have dinner. The food was excellent with tender meat and great flavours. The portions were very generous and we definitely over ordered. The service was excellent and efficient. You need to be aware that they don’t serve alcohol, we weren’t bothered but don’t expect beer with your curry.

Ordered a takeaway meal for 4 people at 17:40 and told food to arrive within 45-60 minutes. 75 minutes later no sign of the food and called to ask what time we can expect food but met with no answer. I proceeded to call the restaurant on repeat 30+ times with no answer. Finally after ringing for over an hour I got an answer but was told the food wasn’t even ready yet, told them not to bother delivering the food at this point, the guy at the restaurant tried offering a small discount but still declined the food and they hung the phone up on me. STAY AWAY!

First visited 5 years ago the atmosphere was great as was the service we all had different meals which were excellent would recommend definitely 5 star They don't have a drinks license not a problem just bring your own

All the way from Yorkshire but this has to be the best Indian takeaway I have ever eaten *****

Amazing place. Always pleasant and friendly with fabulous food

Excellent Local Indian Restaurant with a national reputation.

Friendly service Excellent food

Excellent food and service. No alcohol is served however youn can bring your own which is no problem as Tesco is just behind .

Fantastic food and a lovely all round experience. 10/10 recommend!!

My husband and I attended the restaurant on Saturday evening at 7pm for our Anniversary meal. We have had many meals there over several years and have always had good food/service. However, on this occasion, as soon as we walked in through the door, I felt there was something very different - either under new management - but definitely not the same atmosphere as before. We were greeted at the counter by a lady and shown to our table by a sole waiter who was young and seemed to be rushed off his feet as the restaurant became busier. We ordered our food and the poppadums/pickle tray arrived soon after - along with our drinks (Cokes) - which were "flat". We then waited for an absolute age for our main courses to arrive - initially being bought the wrong food order! Later, our main courses arrived in dribs and drabs - part of my main course was on the table for at least fifteen minutes before the rice and naan breads arrived. By that time, my main course was getting cold and when I eventually ate it, it was nothing like previous meals I had enjoyed at the restaurant. Also, the naan breads were much smaller in size than we had previously been served - mine was not cooked and was "doughy" so I returned it. Minutes later, I was bought a naan bread which was cut into triangles and I was told a fresh one had been cooked for me, which was hard to believe, given the short time it had taken to arrive after taking the uncooked one back. My husband's meal was also very poor - not much meat in the tandoori mixed grill he had ordered and the chicken was tough - the majority of his meal was left on his plate as he failed to eat it. Ages later and no sign of the sole waiter taking our plates away, my husband went to the counter and ordered two coffees with cream. We waited so long for them to arrive I thought they must have gone to Brazil for the coffee!!! When it eventually arrived at our table in coffee glasses, the coffee looked like dishwater which was swirling around in the glasses topped with squirty cream and looked extremely unappetising. They were, and I could not drink mine after taking a sip of it which tasted like very bitter, gone-off coffee flavoured water!! To summarise, a very disappointing but expensive meal which we failed to eat. Sadly, we will not be eating at this restaurant again.

Visiting the area and both google and trip reviews are good. Clean with sanitiser available. One point to note is that they have no alcohol licence. Not an issue for us. Thoroughly enjoyable meal and fair price too. Def come back again. Thank you 👍👏

Poor food… chicken was so dry!!!! Rice very tasteless !! Popadoms very chewy … won’t order from there again as been the same a few times …

The chaat was not a chaat was a un cooked curry. Which made me cancel my order and walk out. Service was bad too, I offered to pay for poppadoms I had which was also vile! They wanted to charge me extra as car payment was minimum. Then the manager agreed to take my £3.90 for experience. DONT EAT HERE!

Fantastic, authentic Indian food using fresh ingredients & spices. Very welcoming & good service. Bring your own alcohol is great & saves on the bar bill! Would recommend to any curry lover!

Gorgeous food, tasty, looks great, well prepared and good prices! Loved it, I'll be back again! Donna x

The Taj used to be a good, busy restaurant. You had to book ahead to reserve a table and when phoning to order a takeaway, the staff would always provide a realistic time for collection. This is no longer the case. Several weeks ago, my wife and friends booked a table to celebrate a birthday. On arrival there were only three other tables occupied, so not busy for a weekend. When ordering drinks they were surprised to learn that alcoholic drinks were not available, but they could bring their own. This information should have been provided at the time of booking. After receiving their soft drinks, the waiter was prompted to take their food order. The response was that their food was on its way! They had to repeat the request twice to enable an order to be placed. Although the food was okay, the lack of atmosphere and general poor service detracted from the celebration. This weekend we ordered a takeaway and advised it would be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived and paid at the 30 minute point, anticipating my food would be ready in the next 10 minutes or so. There were no diners in the restaurant and 4 people waiting for their takeaways. Not at all busy for a Saturday. Over the next 30 minutes the one person taking orders was answering 2 phones simultaneously and advising that takeaways would be ready within 30 minutes. Not a truthful statement. Slowly, those who were waiting received their orders, but on checking the contents of the bag, discovered items were missing. No attempt was made by the staff to keep food warm while the missing items were sourced. After waiting over 30 minutes, I asked when my food would be ready. I received a dismissive answer, so I requested my order to be cancelled and a refund. Within minutes my food was provided, but I doubted whether it was exactly as ordered. It had taken one hour and 10 minutes to receive, not the 30 minutes advised. On returning home my family were disappointed by the late arrival of their food and unsurprisingly, missing items. In summary, I would assess this once successful restaurant is being allowed to fail. If it does not close, my family and friends will not be wasting money in the Taj Mahal, Haverfordwest, until we become aware of an improvement. Caveat emptor.

Both our meals were gorgeous....chatty pleasant staff.

Not sure what was happening here last night? 2.5 hours wait for our takeaway , only to discover it was missing part of the order. The food we did have was cold and tough. (Previously had good food from here) When we enquired the lady was extremely rude and didn't resolve. Won't be going back.

Visited tonight with two friends to celebrate a birthday. We ordered poppadoms and pickles as a precursor to the mains, all lovely, but did not know they didn't serve alcohol until we were informed we could only order soft drinks, which we did. We had to ask to have our order taken, but the food was delicious and we all enjoyed our meal. The staff were fine, it wasn't a busy night, so the staff were very helpful. I would recommend the Taj Mahal, because I've had many lovely meals there over the years, but if I'm brutally honest, I'm afraid this time around there was very little ambiance and the 'bring your own' alcohol policy wasn't relayed to us when booking, so was a disappoibtment. That, said our food was tasty and well cooked.

Best curry in Pembrokeshire *****

Only giving this one star because I can’t give 0. The restaurant had as much atmosphere as death row and staff had no clue what was happening (through no fault of their own). BYOB policy was disappointing, food took an hour to come, was bland, and clearly microwaved. You couldn’t pay me to eat here again.

Went on a Saturday night expecting a warm and busy atmosphere, and was met with something more in line with a doctors waiting room. Took over an hour for our food to come, and when it finally did only half arrived with the rest either...

Not very good unfortunately. Very below average would not visit again, salads and chutneys not fresh. Chicken was tough, thinking about it now makes me want to heave. Glass coke bottles and other drinks not chilled so warm. Never seen an Indian serving BBQ sauce with a dish either, very strange. Prawn dish was 2 sad prawns, did expect more for the price. Service was below average. They strongly suggested a couple of times whilst checking out to pay cash, which we hadn't so got a sigh when they had to take out their card machine. Yeah, no - not a great experience. Only good thing about this visit was the naan bread and my company.

Currently not selling alcohol. No music or anything. Food took ages but was very nice

forgot our booking, did not serv alcohol, main too hot too eat, slow service and card machine didn’t work so asked to go to a cashpoint- used to love this place but it’s niow gone downhill

Went to the restaurant with a group of 11 to have food. Was booked in for 8 and when we arrived were put on seperate tables even though we booked one table to sit together. We didn't have food served till 9.45, Had no problem...

For the indian flavour lovers. A place to revisit!

Very attentive staff and fantastic value. The meals were served very quickly and I couldn't believe how low the bill was at the end. You need to bring your own alcohol, since it is not licensed, but this helps to keep the costs down. The...

Based on the reviews on Google, we called up tonight to ask what vegan options they had. The guy on the phone responded to us and said 'the vegetables' and didn't expand in any way! Needless to say that we weren't confident that their food would actually be vegan so we went elsewhere.

I find Iit pretty hard to find a decent Indian takeaway... but I lthink I've just found it. Food is amazing pity its 100 miles away from home

Arrived at 10pm as a single person. The staff were attentive and appeared to want to please. Surprised to find it no longer served alcohol. The food was nice enough, although putting a drizzle of mint sauce on plate instead of a serving bowl is...

Not the best I'm afraid didn't feel welcome, brought meals, while we were half way through our starters, not licensed to sell alcohol, would have liked a pint with my meal,didn't realise till we ordered, 🙄

Amazingly good food! My wife isn’t well and I asked the member of staff about 3 times to ask the chef to use minimal oil as poss. He not only cooked the best tasting Indian food we have tasted for years but took the time to come out to meet me and talk me through what he did. Going well over and above in my mind! We have just moved to the area and will use no one else moving forward. 11/10! Dave & Nic

Excellent service very nice food didn't leave much for the doggie bag

Food was excellent, service great too..

The guy said 1 hour wait for delivery ended up waiting nearly 4 hours. Korma good tho

Waited a week now for some response after giving Taj Mahal an opportunity to address my poor meal last week, even rang a second time to chase feedback...nothing. Too many times we are quick to slate companies on reviews and I wanted to be fair on the basis of " If you enjoy our food, tell others and if not tell us" We spent £34 for two of us... the usual kind of food Our pickle tray only had 3 pots of the same dip... a pink sauce...no lime,mango or onion cucumber. The onion bhaji starter (4 small balls) was really the worst ever. old tough and stale and to add insult to injury there was another one in the measly mixed grill starter that also contained 2 chicken and 2 lamb tikka pieces. The Madras curry I had was very watery and nothing other than this runny sauce and pieces of tikka. My wife's Lamb saag was fine at best but she had already refused any based on the fact that the bahjis were so bad she had been put off anything else. The cheese and keema nan was also bad... Black burnt cinders that crunched in your teeth and really had no flavour. After my first call back on the same night In a typically British apologetic conversation I said that I would be happy to drive back to show them my food and they explained it was not necessary and that they had a different tandoori chef on.... I didn't ask for a refund but suggested maybe a credit note towards a replacement for the bad items so that we may try another time.... sadly no reply has meant this review...

Got let down by 2 takeaways boss man sorted me out 5 ***** all day long

Was told by owner to shut up after booking it for a family meal for 13 waited over 2.5 hours for food forgot half the food! Wrong orders given to us! And wasn’t even that busy! Will never go again.

My wife and I had a meal here last night. The service was very good and the meal was fantastic. They were very busy so it’s well worth booking a table.

I've taken at least 15 women here for dinner.... They were the only disappointment those nights.... Outstanding food and service... Always had a laugh with the staff... Only thing that would make it better is if you added pancakes and bacon to your menu

We had a delicious India meal, one of the best I have ever tasted. The staff were very friendly. We bought our own alcohol and that was fine. I would highly recommend this place. 5 stars.

We were in a big party but still had quick efficient service. The food was gorgeous and staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again

Lovely food, shame about the service. We arrived at 17:06 for a 17:30 booking to be told we were too early which is fair enough as they were still opening up. When we returned at 17:30 we informed the man we were 6 people (our original booking had been for up to 8) he made quite the fuss as he thought it was for five of us. When we went into the restaurant, there were no tables set for five peoplre, only 4 or 6, which confused us... The Chap in charge wasn't very friendly and made us feel like we were a total invconvenience, snapping at us that he'd need the table back by 7. The food however was really good, nice authentic curry in classic silver trays. I had a chicken tikka biryani with peshwari nan and chips and it was as good as any I've had. The popandoms were warm and fresh also. We finished up by half 6 to be sure to give the table back for 7 only to end up waiting alnost 30 mins for the bill... We paid promptly when the waitress arrived only for the Chap in charge to come over and rudely tell us we should be gone by now it's gone 7. Maybe if you'd taken some time to actually attend our table (1 of 3 with people on) out of atleast 6 or 7, Then You would have had the table by 7 when you wanted. Food was 4 out of 5 Service 3 at best. Have a word with the guy in charge, seemed a bit highly charged ...👃❄️

1st visit. Welcoming polite staff. Food ready to collect on time. Best jalfrezi and bhuna we have tasted and we have had many. Also garlic naan large and excellent.

Butter chicken was tandoori chicken in Korma sauce and a slice of butter on top, Biryani was like plau, lamb Karahi was nice. Cokes were flat from bottle. Over priced.

Very nice food and good service, would recommend

Dreadful service. I lwaited almost an hour and left before receiving my meal. Stilll they charged me 6 quid for a glass of water and a popadum. Not impressed.

Visited this establishment with our Welsh family during a visit to Haverfordwest from Scotland although the food was reasonably well presented the fact there was an intolerance towards alcohol somewhat undermined our experience.

my food was lovely and the staff was very nice it was a young girl and she was very good with her words and was very professional

What a joke of restaurant We waited 1.5 hours and no main course. Staff were so under-trained. Do not eat here. Embarrassment of an establishment

We went to this excellent restaurant while on holiday and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the entire evening. The waiter gave us excellent service, well done,

We phoned at 17:15 ordered food and was told it would be an hours wait (fine as it was Saturday night) however 1 hrs 30mins later I phoned and was told the driver had just left and would be with us in 15 mins (brilliant),...

Me and my partner visited for food here on Saturday the 18th September, we had to wait half a hour for drinks and two hours for food , the poor young waitress was working her absolute ass off serving taking food and answering the phone...

Partner and I have been trying for an hour to get through on the phone lines, then when we do the phone is just ringing out which means no one is answering the phones. It’s a takeaway service! Absolutely disgusted, was so looking forward to...

Waited over 2 hours for takeaway delivery before giving up, they didn’t answer the phone for the last hour of that to ask where the order was, really disappointed I would absolutely avoid booking

You might be ripped off. Please ask a waiter to give you a breakdown of the price. You might find you have been charged more than you ordered. The waiter charged me £38 and some pence first. Then very generously "rounded it down" to £34. But I did not think I ordered food worth £34. I paid fully first but when I was leaving the restaurant, I asked him to let me know the price of each item I ordered. It turned out the total was £30. By the way, I saw he rounded down the price to one other customer. I do not know what it means. The key to avoid being ripped off is remember / write down the prices of the items you order. If they did this to 20 customers everyday, it would be about £100 a day, ££2,500 a month.

The food here is of outstanding quality. I have certain dietary requirements being lactose intolerant and the staff were very helpful. If we didn't live over 200 miles away we would definitely be regular visitors to this excellent restaurant .

I went for a outstanding meal last night, the young lady I believe her name was Elli working behind the bar and on front of house was great with her service, would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area, felt very valued and appreciated

On a night out we were let down by a local pub restaurant so we called and had a reservation within 30mins and we were told we could bring our own beers. The food was of a really high standard and prices were reasonable. The young lady behind the bar who also brought our food and made sure everything went smoothly was an absolute credit to this establishment. Probably one of the best front of house staff I have met. Only slightly let down by the toilets being blocked on arrival.

Fabulous food. The range of dishes on the menu is excellent and the descriptions of them are very helpful. We got just the types of curry we wanted. The service was also very fast and attentive.

I found our curry that we had delivered was very bland and it was like eating a microwave meal. The order was sent wrong. The best part of the meal was the popperdoms but they didn't send any mango chuckny. Will not be ordering again. Wasn't worth the money paid.

Very upset after having lovely meal. Receptionist girl treated us as a thief. On the way out at the till when we wanted to pay the bill, the "girl" asked us did we ordered any drink and papadoms. We said no. We just ordered main meal. Then she asked her colleague again in front of us did she served any papadoms and drink. I felt like I am a liar and theif. Who will lie for 1 or 2 papadoms and a glass of coke? Food was lovely. But staff in the reception ruined our day. I did not said anything, just put my head down and come out....Will not visit ever again.....

It is a lovely restaurant, staff friendly. Food was really good, until I found a hair in my food. Surely kitchen staff should wear nets over their hair.

staff under pressure but food & service 5 star 👍👍👍👍👍

Newly redecorated, food still as good as ever, Naan bread excellent. Friendly staff, just go there! Bring your own alcohol but that's fine, no problem.

I visited on a Tuesday night at 6.30pm with my family and sadly none of us had a good experience. From the offset the service was extremely slow and whilst our food was just OK, it all took far too long to arrive. Disappointingly average food with terrible service - will not return and would not recommend.

Food is amazing Bring YOUR OWN ALCOHOL!!! Lovely place to eat 🥰

Good indian takeaway - the food was tasty but a little too oily.

Fab food and polite staff, no alcohol for sale there but no problem really cos can take your own.

My regular...excellent quisine...delightful choices and delicious food...excellent

Slow service waited over an hour for food 😴 OK food

I was really looking forward too having a meal here, ambience, two young ladies, you gentleman out front were very friendly. Disappointed to find a hair in my food, this is something that should not happen, everyone in the kitchen area should have a hat on

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Owner recommended a new dish for us which was delicious. Bring your own alcohol.

This was the latest in many family visits and takeaway experiences for this restaurant. This was the best ever. Featuring the often elusive distinct spice flavourings and contrasting textures, this was our best experience yet.

While visiting Wales and staying at Timber Hill we went to Taj Mahal for takeout. The owner and my brother-in-law knew each other. Owner very welcoming and friendly and food was great. A must go

Four of us visited the Taj Mahal on Wednesday evening. Welcomed by a clean light and airy restaurant we sat down and enjoyed an excellent meal which we all enjoyed.Not much more to say, other than if we visit the area again, we will make a beeline for the Taj Mahal.

Friendly service and great tasting food. Best in the area.

Fantastic service.. best indian in Wales
