Our first experience of the Tamarind tonight thanks to friends Gwyn and Tracy Thomas. We travelled from Cheltenham. What a wonderful experience and the meal was to die for, honesty, probably the best curry ive ever had. We'll be back.

I shared a chicken kurma with a friend. Absolutely awful. Looked like baby sick…. The sauce appeared to have split and tasted overwhelmingly of onions. We both ate a couple of spoonfuls and both of us were violently ill afterwards…. I would NOT recommend this dish. Very disappointing The place could do with an refresh and beware of the massive pothole leading into the car park…

Had 3 different curries including a chicken shashlick, which I found very bland. Resulted in the owner / chef and me having a discussion on curries. Made me another one, which was so good 👍

I asked if a garlic chili chicken was possible, as it wasn’t listed on the menu, I was told ‘yes, no problem’ , oh my God ! I’ve had countless curries over the years & I can honestly say this dish was one of the best in flavour I’ve ever had, if not the best! , it was absolutely stunning! As was the starter, negatives being …the youngest staff member clearly didn’t want to be there, he was walking around the restaurant like a zombie ! He reached across to pick up my side plate, completely unannounced , while I was talking to my dining partner, his sleeve almost dragging in my food, very rude ! Also, I tried three different brands ( pints ) of lager, the carling xtra cold & the Kingfisher were almost warm , far from optimum temperate, although the pint of San Miguel was spot on, but I must say the positive does outweigh the negative, beautiful BIR cuisine !

I have been coming to this restaurant and also for take out for many years and it never fails to disappoint. It’s one of the best restaurants I’ve been to anywhere. The quality of food is fantastic, staff are friendly and welcoming and it has a lovely atmosphere. I live approx 10 miles away and drive here whenever we have Indian take out despite there being several closer to me. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Well done the Tamarind 😁 for keeping up your excellent reputation over the years- thank you

Disappointed with many aspects of our meal. I ordered miloni sahzi handi which was described as vegetables and paneer, if you can call chunks of potatoes and large pieces of raw onions vegetables! There were zero pieces of paneer, I looked through the whole tub and found none. A very expensive dish for a few pieces of potatoes and inedible onion. Also ordered garlic rice which was just raw garlic and cooked rice

The food was lovely. Had Lamb Rogan and it was fab. Didnt finish all of it and they were happy to put it in a takeaway container. Gave a 4 on service, as all bar one of the staff were lovely. There was an older server that could do with improving his attitude. Grumpy doesn't work in the service industry. It spoils the overall experience sorry to say. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star experience xx

One of the best and most hospitable Indian restaurants I've been to, anywhere. We're from Australia, and we've eaten at a LOT of Indian restaurants. Tamarind has to be up there with the best of the best in terms of quality of food, diversity of the menu and the friendliness of the staff that work there. The decor is inviting and we so love the food we always look forward to coming back when visiting from Australia to see family. A great night indeed.

The food was truly out of this world. The waiters were so helpful and polite. I cannot praise them enough. I would definitely recommend the Tamarind at Risca as the perfect place to enjoy authentic cuisine for any occasion. 5 gold stars aren't enough! 10/10

Food is okay, some orders got messed up with the wrong food coming out and things being missed. Drinks order got mixed up with another table and service was quite slow, waited just over an hour after arriving before our food order was taken and then another hour until the food arrived. Not great considering the restaurant wasn't full. Even making payment took a long time, it had got to a point where everyone at the table had gotten a bit annoyed so sat in silence. Just wanted to pay and leave as we had been there quite a few hours and just wanted to go home at that point.

Don't know what the food is like. It comes up as place that caters to vegans and is the 3rd choice for vegan chips I the area on Google maps. It DOESN'T in fact do vegan chips. So if you are vegan give this place a miss. If they can't cook chips separate I can't imagine them cooking anything else separate.
