We decided to have an Indian Takeaway meal and thought we would try the Tamarind. What a disappointment! Firstly it was 30mins late! I had a king prawn purée to start. It was the most tasteless starter ever, with very tough and chewy prawns! Our main courses weren’t any better, particularly the Chicken Makhani. It was absolutely tasteless! The Naan bread was like soggy dough and the side of chips looked like they had been warmed up from two days ago! Without doubt the worst Indian takeaway I’ve ever had !

Spent my birthday night feasting with friends here.The waiters were very patient with us whilst we perused the menu and decided our drinks orders. Poppadom entrées were fresh and plenty of dips were offered.We all 5 had different starters and bahjis, samosas were tasty but not greasy. My main course of chicken Maharaja was rich and succulent. My partner's jalfrazi was too hot for him but he was warned! We had a Rogni Naan, which was a new style for us.The staff kept us all well served and the drinks were ideal. (Kingfisher.)Each dish was of a high standard yet reasonably priced.A great meal for all 5 of us.

Looking for something different for takeaway during lockdown and stumbled across this establishment. Ordered for collection good efficient service. Food was lovely and fresh, dips, naans & poppadom was nice. Dhansak was pleasant but a little too garlic heavy for my liking against other dhansaks I have tasted but down to individuals taste. Chicken tikka was seasoned beautifully and meat tender. Would visit again.

The food here was nice. I personally feel like it was a little too watery for my taste, and the dish I ordered was too mild for my liking (thought it was going to be hotter), but all in all it wasn't a bad meal.The naan was great. That tasted fresh, and it was huge.The service was good, and despite the fact that there are local lockdowns, it was nice to see it busy.

First visit to the Tamarind since the initial Covid outbreak and it what just what we needed after the latest local lockdown.Safety measures that the management have put in place are first class and we were greeted in the usual manner by the pleasant staff.Food was excellent as always, absolutely love their pickle tray and my Nizami Handi was delicious, highly recomnend. Good portion sizes and great value for money.Support your local restaurant during these difficult times, give it a go and give yourselves a treat!

I love Indian food and the Tamarind is the best by far for not just food, but also service and experience too. I don’t live local, but either my husband or I (mainly husband) will sacrifice having a beer in order to make the 20 mile round trip to have a meal at the Tamarind. The service is excellent. I love how you get the option to choose a break between your starters and mains. The food is excellent and I’ve eaten there many times and never with complaint. Thank you so much to all the staff at Tamarind for always an outstanding experience. By far the best Indian restaurant we’ve eaten at.

We were recommended to book a table by friends, we have been very worried about eating out with the COVID pandemic. The restaurant was nicely decorated, clear signs and hand sanitisation points readily availble. Staff wore facial visors, each table was protected by screens. We felt safe! The food was very enjoyable, Poppadoms served warm, good choice of starters and mains, Jalfrezi was a bit too hot for me but it did warn me on the menu. Staff attentive and helpful and we did not feel rushed. Cannot wait to go again.

Been looking for a decent curry house since we moved back to Wales and everyone always recommended this place.Finally got around to ordering a takeaway for myself and my wife and in a word, disappointed.My curry was watery and lacked flavour, if you closed your eyes and someone said what curry is this you wouldn’t have guessed. I went for something boring, just a Masala but it had very little taste.My wife had the madras and although it wasn’t watery is was run of the mill. On a positive, poppadom was nice.

Ordered our regular takeaway, was charged premium for a Jalfrezi but received “normal chicken” and not the tikka version also delivery charge increased by 300% and charged for use of plastic bags when it is delivered in a strong paper bag. This increased cost significantly, I fear the Tamerind is in danger of pricing itself out of the market as the quality is deteriorating as price increases.

Ordered takeaway to hotel whilst working in the area and as a self confessed Indian Curry connoisseur I can honestly say this place is worth a visit.I had the Lamb Jalfrazi and it was very tasty, fresh, spicy with the Lamb pieces or should I say chunks a very nice size and very succulent,Cant fault the place for size of portions, customer service, food quality or time for delivery however if.............. I have to pick a single fault it wouldn't be with the food but the receipt handed to me by the delivery driver. (:Not entirely sure it will get through/pass my business expense policy security police however it will be worth it.

Have eaten here on many occasions and had countless takeaway's. The food is ALWAYS good. Full of taste and clearly cooked by good chefs. Restaurant is always a lovely atmosphere with great friendly staff. My only Gripe when eating in is I always seem to have to get up and order a drink everytime one is needed. Usually you would expect an empty glass to be noticed and someone to ask but never the case with us. Apart from that its a great place to eat.Takeaway food is just as lovely, always hot and pretty decent portians. Highly recommend

I was recommended to get something from this restaurant. I had the Maharaja Bhuna - a speciality. It looked good but very red, and I noticed that when it was on the plate it soon separated out - far too much liquid in it that did not taste of much. The bright yellow Lentil Dahl was very sloppy, quite a contrast to what a proper Lentil Dahl should be like. An additional curry sauce was flavourless. The Pilau Rice my wife ate a bit of it and the rest went untouched. All the sauces had sugar or some kind of sweetener in them - which for spicey dishes I did not want to taste especially as I am diabetic. There is no need to add sugar to everything. We had some starters which were a bit limp, and the salads had seen better days - my old Rabbit would have tossed the lettuce out of the hutch.The colouring was over the top. The brightest green raita, bright yellow dahl, red main etc. Again - no need for it - it makes the food look some cartoon radioactive food. This is the first time that having a take away, with lots left over, I have binned it rather than kept it in the fridge for the next day. I guess that is the key test for me and no doubt others. Maybe it was an off day.

The Tamarind remains our 'go to' take away as the quality of food has remained consistently high over the years we've been coming here. The lamb dhansak is excellent and our sons enjoy the Maharaja Bhuna which we think is unique to this restaurant.

Been going to the Tamarind on and off for the last 5 years but think they have forgotten about customer service. Yes they are always busy but when I was there a few weeks ago for a meal with my partner everything was so rushed not once were we asked if we were enjoying our meal. The waiter just plonked stuff on our table so fast it was awful. The food was good but when I go out for a meal it’s the whole experience not just getting people in and out as quickly as possible. It’s not the first time this has happened so not going back. Poor show you need to take a step back and teach your staff how to treat your customers. We did Have one young waiter that brought drinks to our table, very polite. But he was the only one that was.

Been here previously and had top food, this time was dissapointed with the food, bland is the only way to describe, rice over cooked, taste of curry very average, looking at what was happening I think they are sinking into the trap of producing take away from the same kitchen which makes resturaunt diners wait a long time for food that is rushed, the car3 and pride is taken away.tip.. stop doing take away from the same kitchen,

Ordered directly through the website site and informed it would be 55mins before delivery which was fine as it was a Saturday night. After an hour and a half it still hadn’t arrived so had to call the restaurant and it hadn’t been prepped yet, I was then informed it would be 15/20 mins. After an additional 20 mins beyond the time I was informed I called the restaurant again and I was told it wouldn’t be long, I said it had been over 2 hours and they said it won’t be long, thanks, bye and they hung up; After another 5 mins it arrived. The food smelt good but that’s as good it got. All of the food was horribly greasy and bland. Nothing had any flavour which was disappointing and I wish I’d not spent the money. The price is good for the quantity and it was piping hot when it got delivered but other than that, I have nothing good to say about it. DON’T waste your money.

Absolutely a horrid experience. Would give this place a sub zero rating if it were possible. just moved to the area and thought we would try this restaurant, we love Indian food and our last local Indian takeaway were great. Ordered a takeaway and was told delivery would be in 30 mins, it took over 2 hours and 4 phone calls to finally receive our food. The food that was eventually delivered (cold) can only be described as tasteless, unidentifiable, horrible and a million miles below the standard from other Indian food establishments. You would be crazy to ever have anything from the establishment, there are many places better, avoid or be very, very, disappointed.
