Tamarind - Monmouthshire

If I could give 0 out of 5 I would. We ordered take away with delivery from the Tamarind and as well as delivering late they got the order wrong. We rang to let them know, expecting them to correct it. However, despite having charged us for the missing item they claimed they hadn’t and wanted us to pay for it again plus another £3 delivery charge! They weren’t in the least bit bothered about it. We won’t use this restaurant again and my advice would be that if you do, carefully check what you pay versus what you are given.

Had our first meal here tonight. Food was absolutely amazing. From the starters to our chicken and spinach balti. Only problem was when we had our bill I thought we had been overcharged and then realised they had decided to charge everything at different prices as apparently the menu was out of date and they were waiting on a new version. Surely this is unprofessional but also illegal. When questioned all we got was sorry I’m busy and I’m on my own. Great food but check you bill.

Lamb madras was flavoursome but the prawn shashlick was tasteless and full of food colouring! Overall I would say there are better Indian restaurants in town!!

I did not think places like this still existed. Poor service, stark neon lighting, tropical fish in a filthy tank and a 'music tape ' that worked intermittently and that was all before the food arrived. The food itself was bright orange and inedible. We complained and the manager came out to rant and threaten us 'Basil Fawlty ' style. This restaurant is the stuff of nightmares enter at your peril.

My son said he fancied an Indian curry. I said I know the perfect place We parked opposite in the main carpark that is free after 6:00 pm. We both had the same meal orders Chicken Madras with chips and mushroom rice. Sami Kebabs to start with poppadum 's and pickle tray. My son drank Cobra ale I had Magners cider. Our meals were superb and we both enjoyed our visit.
