The Golden Curry in Swansea

Been 3 times in a week. Don't usually do that. I have to say this place is a great find superb curries chicken tika succulent great service will miss coming here I'm from England this is in Wales. I wish them luck and every success from Mr steve smith. See you in the future god willing

Best curry in mumbles. Love this place. You won’t find a better curry around here. The owner Kamal so personable and chatty. Always go for the pompadoms & chutneys. Recommend chicken tikka starter, so tender. My husband loved his lamb sag. Then we shared cucumber raita, tarka Dahl, bhindi baji and lemon rice. My favourite is the karahi.

This is an amazing restaurant and the food is very different but stunning. We had a wonderful evening here and the staff were so helpful and attentive.

Brilliant service by kamal easy ordering. Food was amazing and fresh. Best Indian in Swansea highly recommend.

Quality food, great menu, helpful staff, chatty owner. Feels local, comfortable, easygoing. Takeaways are delicious, fresh and delicious.

Friday takeaway regular, I love a good golden

Always the best curry and service in Mumbles!

We were recognised and welcomed warmly by Kamal, the proprietor. No affectation, as he'd recognised me at Heathrow a month ago. That was ages since my previous visit, too. The service and food is top-notch; I'll be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing dining experience at The Golden Curry! From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy meal. The food was absolutely delightful—each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The menu had a great variety of options, catering to all tastes and dietary preferences. Service was impeccable; our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations. Highly recommend!!

Very disappointing, all the Currys tasted similar, bland and over salty, poor value, pushy front of house/owner, won't be returning.

Ordered a chicken biryani, matar paneer, tarka Dahl, roti and rice. All the food is unacceptable, I.e.bare minimum. Improve bread (Roti especially). Stop mixing culture. South Indian e.g. Dosa is different to N. Indian. Don’t deceive, sell on quality/ability/etc

Well we would have liked to eat here on Saturday & had booked a table. Arrived to a crowd in small waiting area. Main manager/owner taking a very long order over phone for a take away costing £48. No other staff were allowed by him to seat anyone or ask why they were there. Another restaurant as in other towns & cities that is giving preference to doing take aways over those eating in. We may have spent over £48 and had a positive experience but it was cold & uncomfortable standing in a doorway

Delicious food and an extremely attentive and caring service. This is our first choice for takeaway meals every time. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, great delivery time. Definitely recommend 👌

Delicious curry, delivered early. Would recommend.

So the food was amazing, but it was a little cold unfortunately! Still, it was really tasty and the man who gave me my order was absolutely lovely. I also received an extra poppadom and pot of mint sauce!

This is worst curry I wouldn't recommend come here

I have had currys all over Europe. This has to be the worst curry ever. It was flavourless soup with tough hard chicken. It was shameful to even serve this.Do not recommend.

Brilliant food. It tasted so delicious and the owner is just a very welcoming and pleasant person.

Just had a great meal at The Golden Curry. The food tasted just like home cooked, the flavours were awesome, value for money, and great service. Would eat there again.....really tasty good quality Indian food.

Amazing curry! We ordered takeaway for a large group (so tried lots of dishes on the menu) and we were all really happy! Kamal was very friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed another excellent takeaway this evening from The Golden Curry. We are so fortunate to have this restaurant on our doorstep providing consistently delicious food. Always a warm welcome from Kamal, the owner, too!

Delicious food, nice staff, and good price. Will be back.

Fab food, fab staff. You got to try it.

One of the best curries I have ever had

We love the food at the Golden Curry. Attentive, lovely staff. Excellent food. Highly recommended.

The food was really bad, we ordered Thali , chicken biryani and nawabi chicken which was the worst food ever I have tasted. :(

Excellent food and friendly service. Very busy lots of happy customers

I was here for dinner, I had a vegetable korma. It was nice to be fair. The staff were a little rude though like we were in the middle of ordering our curries & he walked off, but he came back, I thought it was a bit weird & odd while we were in the middle of ordering food. The food was good though. I also had onion bhajis & they were good too!

Favourite place to get curry. Paneer Shashlik is delicious and they seem to be able to make any dish vegetarian, so the vegetable Dhansak is perfect.

We had a, delivery. One dish, the lamb tikka masala was tough and the sauce was thin, bright red and not at all flavoursome The bread was undercooked

Superb fish curry and murgh masala - cannot fault - so friendly and attentive - best curry ever!! Would recommend to anyone as cannot find any fault.

As always, we had a really lovely meal. This is reliably one of the best Indian restaurants in Swansea, and definitely in Mumbles. Staff are great, the atmosphere is good, the food is very reasonably priced for the high quality. Very happy to highly recommend.

Over the years - and especially after COVID - I’d got used to the averageness of my local curry houses, so was astounded when I had my meal here, quite by chance, tonight, as we were only visiting Swansea and I was genuinely blown away by the quality of food and service too. My experience reminded me of some great currys we used to buy in London many years ago, then during my 13 years in Oxford I never came across anything as good as what I had tonight. Thank you! We’re only 45 minutes away and now I won’t even bother trying anything else, will go straight to you, when in the vicinity..

WOW! The best curry we've ever had. Delicious perfectly spiced saucy curries, fantastic chewy fresh naan, and quick service. This place is a real Gower gem.

The best chicken curry out of all the curry restaurants in Mumbles.

I always give good reviews, please check my other reviews but I had to review this place. Food taste was ok but service was terrible. We were asked to order everything at one go from drinks to appetizers to main course to desserts. We told them that what if we order and need a further helping they were like no this isn't how it works, you have to order at one time. Super wierd! We tried to reason with them but they were very rude and said that if we don't agree we can leave. Anything we asked started with a 'No'. Being from the subcontinent, we treat customer as God. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Please try a different restaurant. Shockingly manager was as rude. But when a white couple came in they started to be like sir/mam what do you want and we're pleasant. RACIST behaviour towards fellow Asians, Wow!

Went there on the back of good reviews and wasn’t disappointed. Food delish. I can recommend the dhansak. Staff so friendly, chef came out for a chat, clearly takes pride in his cooking. Meat so tender. Also Good value. proper old school Indian, as they should be, just good honest good quality food

Fantastic food!!!! And incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommend to anyone

Looks rundown but the food is amazing, we all love our Indian food and the whole party enjoyed it all ,the best Indian we have had for years

Out of the Indian restaurants featured in these reviews we chose the golden curry. We weren't disappointed with the food, delicious. I choose a new dish Chicken shakuti which was tasty indeed!! The wine choice wasn't so good a very weak pino grigio and probably the drinks side is the weaker part of this restaurant. A note to the owner..you have a lovely restaurant but your decor outside in particular needs to be modernised / new look as I wouldn't choose your place over others if I didn't read online reviews. Best wishes.

Recommended to us as the best curry house in the area, certainly didn't disappoint

Terrible experience, curry was full of oil, chicken very dry and we,ve had diarrhoea since, I can’t believe this, we will never go again

Just had a takeaway from Golden Curry Mumbles and I'm thoroughly impressed! Excellent service, with a friendly and efficient team. The meal was exceptional - rich flavours, quality ingredients, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Golden Curry Mumbles to anyone seeking a top-notch curry experience. Looking forward to my next order. Five stars without a doubt!

Visiting Mumbles? Or a local in need of a good curry? Go to The Golden Curry on Newton Road - you will not be disappointed! Kamal is the perfect host to welcome you. Myself and my husband first came here on our first date a couple of years ago. We were absolutely delighted by the quality of the food and service. The chef is outstanding, he really knows about flavour and the curries we’ve enjoyed have been consistently good. Nothing seems too much of an ask, the staff are so friendly and efficient. In a nutshell, it is an excellent place to enjoy a curry in or to enjoy at home.

The food is always good here, we’re always welcome, even turning up with a whole party didn’t phase The Golden Curry. Takeaways are excellent too, food is always hot and tasty. Much like yourself. 😍

Been here twice now, and both times the food has been excellent, coupled with great service. Would definitely recommend.

We ordered a Takeaway from the The Golden Curry this evening, and it was a great experience. They have a 4 star Food Hygiene rating which is the best of all the Indian restaurants in Swansea (something I always check after a bad experience previously), and the food was exceptional. I would highly recommend this. We ordered early in the day online (which you can do at any time), and the website is really easy to use. Later in the evening, I got an email to say that my order had been accepted (which was re-assuring) and it was all ready for me when I went and collected it at our desired time we selected earlier. They also offer delivery, but we were passing by. The food was great (we ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Balti, and Vegetable Jalfrezi as our mains, and then all the usual sides including rice, naan and poppadoms). Everything was extremely tasty and cooked perfectly, and the quantity of food was spot on. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an Indian restaurant or takeaway in the area.

Best curry in Mumbles! Everything’s really fresh and tasty. Reasonably priced too.

We sat down for food on a Sunday evening. It was pretty quiet, but I'm told it gets very busy with the Mumbles crowd who know a good curry house. Very interesting menu with a get new dishes for me. Everything we had was really good, great spicing and the heat matched the menu descriptions. The staff were great and the owner is helpful and very funny. Definitely going back soon

Brilliant, thank you. 6/2/23. Hope see you in Norwich some day soon 👍

Really warm welcome and great food. Always reliably tasty eating in or takeaway.

Delicious food, beautiful presentation.The service we received was amazing and will definitely be back again.

Comida maravilhosa, saborosa! Equipe amigável, gentis, cordiais e alegres.

We had a good selection for six people takeaway service was excellent and food was lovely lots of flavour and plenty In the portions high recommend here, it was a very busy night as well.

Lovely food, worst service we have ever witnessed! We are new to the area and had a lovely meal on a Saturday night but when we phoned a taxi to come and collect us at the end of the meal, the owner started ranting at me and my guests and the other guests in the restaurant saying we needed to leave. The table next to us were two older gentleman who were regulars and looked at us confused as we were all unsure as to what was going on. The owner started shouting across the restaurant to a member of his staff asking what time he started his shift, he shouted ‘I’ve been here since 8am’ then the owner turned to us and said ‘see, get out!’ . We were confused as when we got to the restaurant and asked if we could have a meal he said ‘yes of course’. If he wanted to close, he should have explained to use there and then. We were only on the restaurant for 45 minutes. We then said to the owner that our taxi was on our way and we had just paid £70 for our meal if we could wait inside for 5 minutes as it was -3 outside, but he refused. The two older men next to us were equally as shocked. We told the owner it was disgusting the way he had treated us and we would never return again. From a respectable couple who were new to the are and trying to give money back to the local community, we will never eat here again as the way we got treated was absolutely disgusting. Shocking customer service; paying a bill and phoning a taxi and asking to wait inside for 5 minutes and offering to pay extra for the privilege but being told ‘no’ is just unacceptable. We will never pay this restaurant again.

Absolutely delicious food. Probably the tastiest Indian food I have ever eaten. Very busy restaurant which is always a good sign. Great staff.

Excellent meal last week our first visit and it did not disappoint from the very friendly welcome by the MC to the fabulous meal. Just delicious. I had the Chicken Handi and it was superb. Will definitely be going back and soon!

Always great welcome from friendly staff, food plentiful and really nice. tonight is my 3rd in a week :-) lovely D. Jo

Delicious curry. Went with our cricket club on tour and we were a bit on the loud side, but the staff were still very helpful and friendly and the curry was one of the best I've had.

Excellent food and great service 👍

charged me more which states on there menus on the leaflet was told they were updating tills and they were old menus lol watch these try too rip u off big time just lost a valuable customer food was crap as well wouldn,t feed it too a dog watch the food and hygiene from the council don,t come sniffing for this won,t be recommended no more by anyone i will take my buisness somewhere else don,t rip people off ok

I really liked the Indian food here. After few months not eating an Indian food, I was looking forward to it. The appetisers with papadom and chutneys were fantabuloustic! Loved it much! Then the starters samosas and onion bajhi was not too bad, could do less with the oiliness. The briyani was not overly spiced but good balance, however the chicken chunks were not even, some were really soft and juicy but some were just too dry and tough! The chicken korma, was a little too coconuty and the color wasn’t right, too pale, the peshwari naan was nice, the special egg fried rice was good. The two young male staffs that served were very attentive and friendly. Overall 3/5 👍

One of the best Indian restaurants in Swansea, Well worth the trip up the hill. Really great Indian food. Would highly recommend.

Loads of portion just not tasty 2nd time and still the same missing spices is the only way i can explain it, pity i wasted my money, back to the Mumtaz for fabulous food... My mistake shouldn't try other places when you can eat in the Mumtaz

We have visited a number of times now and each time we cannot fault the service from the owner and his staff! Lovely friendly atmosphere. The menu has a good variety of choices and food is fresh and exceptionally tasty! Wholly recommend!

A legendary venue in the heart of Mumbles, The Golden Curry is my favourite Indian restaurant, and definitely the best in Swansea. While other restaurants no longer excite me like they once did, I still always get a special feeling coming here. Kamal and Ali are always friendly and helpful. They are also incredibly welcoming, which is so important in hospitality, as it sets the tone for the entire stay. Both of them are fantastic! The décor in the restaurant is luxurious, with plush seats and stylish artwork. Authentic music also created some great atmosphere. These little touches really enhance the dining experience. The menu is extensive, with dishes to suit all tastes. I ordered the Chicken Korma, with sides of pilau rice and chips. The chicken was fresh and flavorful, with the korma sauce adding to the wonderful taste. The rice and chips were also tasty, and there was lots of sauce left over to compliment the rice and chips. Overall, a fantastic meal. I've had many happy memories here, and I know I will have even more here in the future as well.

Pre ordered takeaway vegetarian for two for 8.30 over Easter weekend on just eat was ready when we got there , took it back to camper van on sea front & it was lovely , being a lover of Indian food this was excellent , was a suprise to find Poppadoms and sauces too as it wasn’t advertised in meal , will definitely use again when back in the mumbles Thankyou

My brother and I went for dinner and we were so impressed with the delicious food and the lovely, friendly staff. We had onion bhajis and veggie samosas for starters - both divine - then salmon tikka and chicken tikka masala for mains, along with...

I've just moved to Mumbles and thought I'd try this place as it's very local. On their website, and on their printed menus, it advertises 20% off on takeaway orders for those who collect. I'm a single person so ordered a starter and a main...

Asian should visit.... It's very good

This is by far the best Indian restaurant in Swansea / Mumbles. Never a disappointment. Always a friendly warm welcome. Kamal and Ali are the best hosts, and as a local they have a good memory and remember your name which is a personal touch....

The staff were helpful and the decor was fine. However the food was awful. The vegetable curry side dish was mainly potato in what could have been a tinned curry sauce from the 1970s. The main course was chicken cooked what tasted like a mix...

Went here for my brother’s graduation, went above and beyond, Excellent food, excellent customer service, made effort with each member of the family. Very much Recommend

Well worth the walk up to the’top shops’ fantastic food and service. The okra dish was particularly brilliant.

Went in with a party of 6 each of us said it was the best curry we had ever tasted !!A1 Highly recommended!

The curry was the best I ever had. The service was good. I highly recommend.

Best curry in town and the manager is a character too!

fabulous food and great service, never had a bad meal, very pleasant staff, takeaway food is also excellent

Fabulous service and delicious food, recommend the Pathia. Really nice Pilau too. Really helpful and attentive staff and a pleasant setting at Mumbles Top Shops

Lovely food. We shared a Thali and every dish was really delicious. Wonderful service, very welcoming. Will definitely visit again.

Good value, family friendly, welcoming staff. A good find on the last day of our holiday.

We got a takeaway on holidays for 8 of us and the food was great. They made a special nut-free curry for one of our lads who has an allergy, and he loved it - it was so nice not to have to leave him...

We hate a late night curry after a 26 mile walk and it was a perfect end to the day! The staff were friendly, chatty (but not too chatty), informative and attentive. The menu was great with some meals that I hadn’t heard of. Best...

In Mumbles to visit family. Found the golden curry on trip advisor.Ordered a takeaway meal for four.Absolutely delicious.Very good value. As good as I have had anywhere including India.Very nice people.absolutely recommend this.

Food was superb. Service was good. Manager less so. Over friendly and often on his mobile phone treating reception like his office. I ordered a bottle of wine from the very friendly waiter and the manager interrupted to say he would take care of that. On my guarded. Needlessly? Not sure. I’ll find out. Food was brilliant but I don’t like the ambiance where the manager is overly present on his iPhone, ordering staff and being over friendly. Will I come back? Probably but the manager needs training to improve the experience. Do not order staff about publicly and don’t use yr mobile phone in the dining area!

Good delivery time but food was bad. Watery, sour tikka Masala that was inedible. Peshwari naan not great either.

Absolutely flavoursome food, best in mumbles that we’ve had, have been to others but this was way above the rest. Recommend highly.

Always a warm and friendly welcome from the staff, food is delicous either sitting in or a take away.

This is my favourite Indian restaurant in the SA3 area. Never had a bad meal with you and your staff are all lovely. However, last week I had a takeaway and it was all sauce and very little meat, which was really disappointing.

Food was really lovely and service was exceptional. Under this new management it's the best Indian Restaurant in Swansea, with cleanliness and service level you'd expect of a Michelin star. Gotta try it.

Delicious takeaway as always from The Golden Curry. Really enjoyed the kebab platter, first time trying the chicken karahi, really tasty & perfectly spiced. Highly recommend x

Great staff, friendly advice on dishes. Food is excellent don’t miss it. Sit in or takeaway.

Thank you we’ve just had a stunning meal - absolutely full of flavour, beautifully presented, immaculate inside, super friendly staff and all COVID safe. Thank you we will be back shortly!

We are staying in an Air B and B in the Mumbles. We ordered a takeaway to be delivered. I ordered a Chicken Jalfrezi and boiled rice for my husband and a plain naan. I had a Chicken biryani and a peshwari naan. The food arrived on time and was delicious. They forgot the rice for my my husband( which we had paid for) but luckily the portions were substantial and we were both full . The naans were excellent

The food was great. But the service was poor the staff didn’t listen to the orders properly and the food took an hour to arrive.

Great food and lovely staff. Laid back atmosphere and they don’t rush you. Will definitely be back and would recommend.

Absolutely hands down the best indian in Swansea, Food rich, not laden with oil and onions like other places and divine. Can say this confidently after eating in every Indian Swansea has to offer, (the old Miahs was by far the best, church opposite Joes, much missed). Hidden Gem, wont stay that way for long.

Brilliant Service & Lovely Food in a very friendly environment... the staff were brilliant, generous with the wine I’m a lover of Indian Food and the food here was fantastic ... try the Tik Tak Chicken, Balti Style.. comes on a sizzling grille platePs. Following all the rules with social distancing and track and trace..Well done to all the staff!!! You made out holiday even more enjoyable..

Delicious takeaway from The Golden Curry. As always food was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend. Looking forward to eating in when lockdown is lifted.
