Tamarind Indian Restaurant in Caerphilly

Hadn't visited for a few years as not based in Risca but popped in with wife for starters and main on a Friday night. The food was extremely good value for money and good portions. For example my garlic chicken tikka starter had five pieces of chicken. The staff were very welcoming and we both left with a positive experience and as such will be looking to return. A real curry house with staff very knowledgeable about the dishes.

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.

Great food and service here and we have been a few times

First time experiencing tamarind restaurant this evening, food was fantastic, service was great and atmosphere and setting was welcoming. I will be returning again for sure 👍

Very good food, very clean place, magnificent service. I recommend it. Truly since I left my country I have not seen such good customer service as I found here in not even in other restaurants that are 5 stars. Thank you, I congratulate you!

Good food ,,but disabled toilets are still out of order over a month now

a very nice meal and lots of it. nice staff, clean and pleasant decor. only small gripe is I'm a big guy and the tables were packed in a bit too close for me to get in and out easily

Always a peasure to visit, SHahid always goes out of his way to make the evening a delight, caters for Vegans and vegetarians, must go again very soon

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…

Excellent night nothing too much trouble

Everything at Tamarind Risca is on point, service is great, menu is good, food is always superb, and decor is good, never had a poor meal here

Always really nice n fresh food n best staff ever

We had a meal here last night for the 1st time. The service was good & our food very tasty & good quality. I will definitely return.

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 👍

Great Indian restaurant and takeaway, excellent service and quality food with friendly staff... reasonably priced and well worth a visit.

Great Meal and service as always.

Been coming to the Tamrind Risca for a good few years . Never had a bad meal excellent food . The staff are so friendly and provide a excellent service even when the restaurant is packed . We absolutely love it here best Indian restaurant in Wales .

Booked a table for valentines, we had to go early, we were seated straight away, drinks and poppadoms ordered, the starters which arrived quickly, main meal came quickly after the starters had been cleared. The service was superb throughout, the food was great quality and tasty. Overall a great meal good food good service and reasonable prices

Awesome Indian. Excellent food, great value for money. 9 of us ate for just over £200 - will definitely be going again!

Tamarind Risca is by far and way the best curry house. Fantastic quality food. Generous portions. Friendly professional staff. Great value.

A very average Indian restaurant , compared to others . Food was ok nothing special

This was an absolute disgrace did not complete the order chips like cardboard garlic Nan like it just came out of the freezer , plus it took 2 and half hours to be delivered. From 2 miles away never again a total rip off

Went there xmas day amazing service amazing food...also prices amazing...be bk this xmas

Lovely food nice evening awesome service every time👌

Had a wonderful meal there .Went with the family ( eight of us) meals to die for and mega portions

Food was Amazing, service was great! Would come again

Great food service and ambiance

Great food, great atmosphere worth a visit.

Wow, wow and wow again. Our first visit and it certainly won't be our last. The service was great and the food was plentiful and full of flavour.

Food was piping hot, amazing flavours and big portions. First visit tonight, and even though its mid week the place is packed, and service, times and food quality is brilliant. Will be back soon.

Just had a ten out of ten meal in tamarind. Very reasonably priced too. Will return again soon.

Friendly staff and good food. I recommended the Tamarind Balti Special!

The best restaurant! Staff are amazing and the food is absolutely lovely. Highly recommended the tamarind.

We had a lovely meal, hot and fresh. Staff were attentive but not intrusive, a good balance. The place was quieter than I remembered it. That could be good from one point of view.

Been before and had no problems,this time not so good,prawn butterfly starter was tough & overcooked. Baji starter raw in middle. Table full of swearing men behind us.. Not a pleasant evening at all

Ordered a take away.. our usual fave is the shoboraj in newport but we were recommended the risca tamarind by lots of people . Decided to try. Did not disappoint.. really lovely fresh food, top quality. Would defo buy again.

We had a really good meal here - would recommend! Peshwari naan was really fresh, service was prompt.

The service is second to none, amazing

Lovely welcome and service, food was excellent and great atmosphere. Would recommend to any group or couple 👌👌👍🏻

Had a meal here for my birthday and wow the food is amazing, had a lovely night, good staff and a welcome feeling

This was our first visit and will certainly not be our last. Birthday meal for 4 people.

Very popular venue, lovely interior and good service from pleasant staff. Although there is a car park to the rear they need a multistorey

Made very welcome ..polite and helpfull staff ..very clean and tidy

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 !

Our new Christmas turdshion lovley

Wonderful food and wonderful service for a large table of 17. Highly recommend, not one complaint from the whole party.

Always a favourite rarely disappoints , always very popular and you need to book.

This was the worst meal I have had from the Tamarind, both meals lacked flavour and were really runny (like water), even the Nan bread was soggy.

Fab food lovely clean restaurant ,shahid will look after you 👍

Great service from staff with a wicked sense of humour. All of our food was plentiful and tasty. As usual I sampled everyone else's as well as my own.

Always consistently very good. Delicious,fresh and served piping hot even though the place was packed out. Thoroughly recommend 👌

Absolutely stunning food and the service is brilliant. Cant wait to go back

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

Sevice was appalling meals came out at different times dome of us hsd compleyed meal before dome had even started

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

We ordered a saturday night takeaway from Tamarind. The food is always excellent, everything tastes amazing. Its made me excited to order again and order something different every time. We're never disappointed! The delivery driver struggled to find our house but called us straight away to locate us and everything arrived nice and hot despite the delay. Thank you! We'll be back again soon!

starters are good but never had a meal I really enjoyed here, tried probably 10 times. Maybe I'm just too fussy but I find the food bland

Stunning food and wonderful friendly staff

Easily the best Indian in the area. Staff always polite and friendly

Absolutely stunning food and wonderful staff. Definitely visiting again

Said the card machine was not working over the phone. Said that we couldn't get anywhere to get cash and suddenly it was working again. Obviously a tax dodge!!

Staff were very helpful and friendly with the food being exceptional and great beer 🙂

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.

Where to start... The Tamarind is a little slice of heaven on earth. The whole experience was absolutely amazing! Shahid the manager is the perfect host. The ambience was welcoming and friendly. 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

Excellent quality service & food - and the lamb tikka is sooooooo tender!

What a lovely restaurant. Very friendly attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious.

Great curry 🍛 always good and delicious food

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.

Very busy but worth the wait. Amazing food!!

Outstanding food and service as always.

Fabulous, as always. My husband and I had a delicious, hot meal for our wedding anniversary. The Staff are always very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was so tasty and perfectly hot and excellent value for money. Amazing!

Nice experience, to be perfectly honest it has been better, the service was a little strained as far as not being as freindly as it could have been, a smile always goes a long way for customers.

Lovely place and great food. Very busy

As per usual, this was a great meal, vwitb exceptional service. You will not be disappointed here.

Lovely food, lovely staff would highly reccomend

Waiting for 2 hours for food it was the worst pathia curry I have ever had olso waiting for a drink for 25 minutes

Comfortable. Excellent attentive service. Every dish was a pleasure and the portions were generous. Looking forward to going again.

Absolutely beautiful food. And service

Frequent visitor - Always top service !!

Absolutely outstanding thank you.

Lovely meal last night. Tandori chicken tikka and mushroom rice would definitely have this again

Really appreciate the extra mile they went to in order to meet our needs

Lovely food and great service, staff are amazing. Tables very tight together tonight compared to recent times though. I guess they’re trying to maximise income after a couple of nightmare years. Not sure I’d rush back as couldn’t hear ourselves speak we were that close to others.

Stunning curry. Great hospitality

We hadn’t booked, it was 8pm and we were starving. Staff gave us a warm welcome and service was quick and attentive. The food was truly delicious and we had more to take home too. We will definitely be back. I really want to stress how friendly and attentive the staff were, it was a really nice part of our evening.

Great meal and fantastic service Thank you Would definitely recommend 👌

Excellent choices on the menu, good food, reasonably prices.

Without doubt the best Indian IMO

Wow . The food was perfect. Staff was brilliant. Well served .cooked to perfection. And such a clean and very welcoming place . Can't wait to book again at risca. Masks to be worn in and then only to use the toilets . But off at the tables . A very must visit

Food was amazing, service was great, would totally recommend

Lovely Currry last night but can we upgrade the pickle tray with some proper Mango chutney and Lime pickle

Had a very good meal, staff were friendly and helpful.

Been a long time since we had an Indian takeaway and this did not disappoint. Bit of a wait to collect but worth the wait. I can certainly see why it is so busy there

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.

Fab as always,food was stunning, lovely staff very friendly x

Oh my word. Such a lovely curry and a great evening. Cannot recommend highly enough. Looking forward to going back soon!

Lovely meal,staff polite and very helpful

We visited the tamarind restaurant Saturday night the 4th of September we were a party of 9 and it was without any doubt a fantastic experience the food was amazing very prompt and the staff were very polite and helpful,I would give it a 10 out of 10 it was a friendly relaxing atmosphere we all said how good the the whole experience was and we will all revisit again soon thank you to all at the tamerind we all recommend your establishment keep up the good work

Awesome place, brilliant food, even better staff, would definitely go there again
