Just fantastic! Cannot find any fault at all... My experience here was 'wow', haven't experienced such fabulous food, for such a long time. Quick service, really brilliant, friendly staff who were so attentive.. Good portions. As part of the opening event we were entertained by the 'in house' magician...so good to see this lovely restaurant doing so well, l previously visited the 3 Elephants when it was The Tamarind.. Equally great restaurant then but was very quiet.. Well done to you all, you'll be seeing a lot more of me. Good luck for the future.

Food was fantastic, the beef & lamb were great, both very tender. Only reason I gave 3 stars to delivery service as it took 1hr 20 mins and we ordered at opening. A couple of dishes were cold. We will definitely use this place for Indian takeaways, just hope they can get better on delivery times and ensuring food is hot.

Under new Management about two weeks ago. Now the Three Elephants. Food, service and staff all good. Friendly staff. Despite mistakes on a few drinks, quickly resolved the experience was great. Food options plentiful and portions large. Will definitely go again. Well done staff for a great experience. Cost for a 2 course with drinks and condiments circa £79.

Food was perfectly cooked and delicious, had a choice of meals that varied in heat and spicyness and menu also catered for individuals who don't eat Indian food themselves but like to eat out with friends and family. Staff were polite, friendly and had a high standard in serving etiquette. Had a very enjoyable evening and will certainly be back to sample other items on the menu.

This place has shut down!! Be aware this is appalling, their website still let's you put ordered in and takes your money be aware! I waited 1.5hours for my order to arrive (including food for my niece who is only 8years old and very hungry) only to be told when I called up the restaurant is closed down until 3rd September and they are going to be called something different! I'm still owed over £106 from my order that didn't turn up!!

What a wonderful find. We were staying local and decided to dine here, we are so glad we did. The staff were so welcoming, we even had a tour of the rest of the restaurant which has 250 covers all of which was beautifully decorated with ample space between tables. Both myself and husband had poppadoms and pickle tray whilst we viewed the extensive menu. We had starters of shami kebab and tandoori fry, both delicious. For mains I had the Bombay beef which was very well spiced and the beef very tender. My husband had lamb pathia which he said was one of the best he had tasted, all food was delivered hot. Ahmed and his team should be very proud of their restaurant, well done! If you want a delicious meal with plenty of parking and great service I definitely recommend dining here.

Had a couple of nice meals then went down hill. Really cold in the restaurant, had to eat meal with our coats on, then ordered a delivery which turned up 2 hours late and cold, they sent another out and that wasn't much better. To top it all the manager lied about us having a meal to compensate as it was a birthday takeaway and he was very rude on the phone. Wouldn't recommend...

As a vegetarian Indian restaurants usually provide a good choice, but here there were only 3 choices on the main course section, 2 of which had the same description under different names! The waiter didnt seem to know what either of them were. The dish I opted for was bland and quite tasteless, and I left most of it. The naan bread was served ready cut, therefore went cold and 'crispy' very quickly. They also brought out incorrect dishes and didn't appear to know what we ordered. There was no ambience in the restaurant, it was very light and the air conditioning was blowing cold air (in February!) After this first visit I won't be returning. There are many superior Indian restaurants in the area.

6th visit but last night is likely the last, they only opened the first section and was very cold , everything was rushed as they had people waiting in the bar area, s as soon as we sat down asking if we want a pickle tray and drinks, here within a few minutes! We hadn’t finished our popadams and the starters arrived, we had finished our starters and within a few minutes our main arrived, to top it, amongst our mains, we ordered Dhansak to share which is supposed to me medium, I like my hot curry’s and this was there! A shame because the starters we all tasty! This is where we always go for a curry for all the opposite that am complaining about! Usually a dining experience but tonight nothing like that! If they want us to spend £120 there again, they are going to have to rethink their customers dining experience!

**Savoring Elegance at Gourmet Haven:** Gourmet Haven proved to be a culinary haven that transcended expectations. From the moment I entered, the elegant ambiance set the stage for a refined dining experience. The attentive staff seamlessly guided us through a gastronomic journey that left an indelible mark. The menu, a testament to culinary artistry, offered a diverse array of dishes that blended flavors with precision. The seared scallops, adorned with a delicate saffron-infused sauce, exemplified the chef's commitment to excellence. Each bite was a harmonious blend of sweetness and umami, demonstrating a mastery of culinary finesse. The main course continued to captivate the senses. The perfectly cooked filet mignon, accompanied by a velvety red wine reduction, melted in the mouth. The sides were equally impressive; the truffle-infused mashed potatoes elevated the dish to a level of indulgence rarely encountered. Service at Gourmet Haven was impeccable, with staff members displaying a deep knowledge of the menu and a genuine passion for creating a memorable dining experience. The pacing of the courses was ideal, allowing us to savor each moment without feeling rushed. In conclusion, Gourmet Haven is more than a restaurant; it's a symphony of flavors orchestrated with precision and presented in an atmosphere of refined elegance. This establishment stands as a testament to the art of fine dining, offering a culinary experience that lingers in the memory, making it a must-visit for connoisseurs seeking an unparalleled gastronomic adventure.

Oh Wow! So glad I found this place, what a Gem. Every dish I tried was amazing. And I don't say this lightly. I love good curry and have been eating it for over 40 years but this place is definitely the best. For a relatively new restaurant I'm so pleased it's got a massive quality seating capacity because its going to need it. The staff were so friendly and conscientious. I would have willingly paid double the price. Everyone loved it I cannot wait to return!

Visiting Wales on business and I decided to try Tamarind for a cheeky curry. This has to be the best curry I've had in several years. I had poppadoms, the tamarind mild special, peshwari naan and boiled rice. The curry was exceptional. It is chicken, lamb and mushroom. It was mild sweet and taste. Highly recommended. The staff were excellent and attentitive too. If I lived nearby it would be my regular go to.

Nice looking from outside. Nice seating. New year signs still hanging up in late March along with decorations from valentines night a month ago. About 4 tvs showing Bollywood films no gentle music to create an atmosphere. Food average dry chicken but cheap, asked waiter 4 times for different things. Toilets very poor no hand towels asked waiter, he give me wet wipe to dry my hands. No water on tables when asked for water they give everyone including ladies a pint glass. Staff have no or very little training including the manager . Not the best experience won’t be going back.

Food was ok but nothing that stood out. Overall there was something about our visit that you couldn't quite put your finger on, that just felt odd. Whether it was the atmosphere or something simply like one of our party (we were a mixed group) asked if we could have some water for the table. The water arrived in jug, nothing strange about that, but instead of small water glasses it came with pint glasses??? So to sum up food was ok but nothing to right home about and experience just was lacking - won't be rushing back unfortunately.

Decided to try a new takeaway as been disappointed by our usual two . Starts were okay, the mixed meat didn't have much flavour. The four curries we had were all very nice, not much meat in the pasanda and thin sauce but still tasty , all better that what we have had in local takeaways recently. Ordering online we were not given any indication of when to collect so had to call to find collection time, it was ready on arrival.

This was our second visit for a meal, and was much improved. This time they not only took our order, but checked by reading it back to us. The food was lovely and plentiful, and very enjoyable when it eventually came. This latter aspect is the only issue that they need to resolve, ie there needs to be quicker service in serving up the meals. The staff were very friendly. If they could improve the speed of serving the meals, then it would be a 5*

10/10 - Highly recommend this restaurant! This is one of the best Indian meals that myself and partner have ever had! The food was delicious, huge portion sizes (plenty to eat and take home as leftovers!) and the service was a treat! The staff was very attentive and made sure everything about our dinner was perfect-- fresh drink refills when we were running low, making sure our allergy concerns were addressed with the kitchen, and even opening doors for us upon leaving! We spoke with many of the staff throught the dinner who were all lovely and happy to answer any questions we had, including the lovely Madhobi who made sure we had everything we needed/wanted all evening! The restaurant has a very friendly vibe and you feel part of a family the moment you walk through the doors. We'll be visiting again the next time we're in the area!

Not fussed was looking forward to trying this but disappointed worst biriyani I've ever had & I've had many in my time. The huge mound of rice put me off you couldn't take it without it falling all over the table it looked like it had been packed into an oval dish then tipped onto an oval plate the same size so nowhere for the rice to go but all over the table as you served it onto your plate! I probably only ate a quarter of it the chicken was dry & not enough curry sauce with it & full of broccoli not my favourite thing with curry. On the up side the staff were very nice.

We booked a table two weeks ago, arrived and was told that no alcohol could be served due to a licencing problem so we left. On Wednesday I phoned to see if the licensing issue had been resolved and asked if they could now serve alcoholic drinks, yes was the answer, I asked if the could serve beer on tap, yes was the answer. I then proceeded to book a table 40 minutes later and then they said that they couldn't serve alcohol that night. Someone is being frugal with the truth. Two strikes and they are out. Incompetent or underhanded you decide for me I wont bother again I hate being lied to or messed about.

Unfortunately we ordered a Chinese from the Oriental tonight. We ordered a quarter crispy duck, a pancake roll, king prawn chow mein, chicken in cashew nuts in a yellow bean sauce and a curry sauce. They gave us free prawn crackers. It was delivered and the chicken in cashew nuts was very watery, greasy and had no cashew nuts at all, not even one. The king prawn chow mein had just three over cooked prawns in it. We basically spent just over £29 and ate just the duck pancakes and the spring rolls. Out of respect, I called them up to pass on our feedback instead of writing it on a public forum. Only to be told that if I couldn’t see any nuts in the dish that was my problem. Also, that I was a liar and there would have been eight king prawns in the dish. I told her there were just three, she said I was lying and that she can assure me there were eight. I think I'm more in shock at how I was spoken to than the awful food! The lady who answers the phone there needs to learn some customer service skills. I called to give feedback out of respect and she showed no respect, customer service skills or decorum with her response. We weren’t looking for any freebies, just wondered why it was so poor. I won’t be ordering from there ever again and it was an absolute waste of £30, it wasn’t what we ordered and it was mostly inedible. When you work hard for your money and fancy a treat - you don’t expect such a poor standard of food or service. They’ve let themselves down. Disappointing. Avoid.

Went as a couple on valentines day, and when we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant (and had a booking) however the waitress directed us to sit on a sofa before we could go to our table, this was just an indicator of how the night was going to go... I'll start with the positives, the food was hot and tasty, and there was a good selection of vegetarian options, I definitely suggest the paneer chilli masala! My vegetable vindaloo was not spicy at all however, which was disappointing. Not the best indian food I have ever eaten, but not the worst... Unfortunately the negatives far outweighed the positives. The service was slow and odd, to say the least. The waitress took our drinks order then proceeded to go and wrap cutlery instead of fetching the drinks, eventually they arrived, followed by our popadoms. Our dirty plates from the popadoms were left with us whilst we ate our starters. A long wait later our main courses arrived. Once we had nearly finished the main courses, the smoke alarm went off. No apologies from any of the staff, and no indication that it was going to be turned off. We asked for the bill, and the only other table asked for their food to takeaway, as there was no indication the deafening noise was going to end. We were then informed there was no card machine, so I had to sit listening to the smoke alarm for ten minutes whilst my partner found a cash point. A little advance warning if this would go a long way! As we walked round to the taxi rank we could still hear the alarm sounding. Overall a weird experience, made worse by the constant alarms and chirping from the bar area, and the deafening smoke alarm at the end! A lack of music in a completely empty restaurant makes for a very uncomfortable experience. If this hadnt been chosen and booked as a valentines treat by my partner I doubt I would have visited, and I cant say that I will visit again, as the food quality did not outweigh the issues listed above.

The.restaurant is absolutely lovely in an oldy worldy pub with a large car park which includes disabled parking. On entering the establishment we were welcomed and shown to our table by an extremely likeable and attentive young man who looked after us throughout our visit and I would say he went above and beyond with his service. We were celebrating a visit of family from New Zealand and friends recommended this venue. Now to the meals, I’m afraid this is where our recommendations must end, the food was poor to say the least and the portions minute, in fact the food looked lost on a dinner plate.. the chips were absolutely awful, dried up, wrinkly and looked and tasted reheated from the day before, these were served in a silver cup, so on the plate was the smallest rump steak I’ve ever seen, it measured approximately 50mm x75mm and half a grilled tomato. I ordered my stake cooked medium it was. Served very well done and tough to chew. The only saving grace were the overpriced deserts which were lovely. I thought everything was overpriced not just the sweets. Would we go again? Definitely not once bitten twice shy I did tip the waiter as he was exceptional

Great food staff very capable and nice. Slightly small seating area. Looks full, because of the eating area, gets crowded, as not much can be done with, layout.
