Tamarind - Neath Port Talbot

Went there for a birthday meal and everyone was happy with the food, the service and the price. Try the Manchurian Chicken.

£27 spent and what a waste! Really disappointed, Chips were grey/black like a gone off potato was used and rock hard. Jalfrezi was very oily on top and very little chicken. I have been coming here for years and after tonight I will not be returning. Photos don’t really show how bad they were!!

Hubby and I had a lovely meal on our recent visit to Tamarind. I had my usual Special Biriani which was lush. It could do with a bit more sauce though. My husband had his usual Lamb Sagwala with Paella rice. I couldn’t fault the food at all. While we were there there was a large group of about 12 diners mixed company with half a dozen children. The children had made a mess on the floor Chips, rice etc. My problem was that the mess wasn’t cleaned up before the next diners came in. Staff cleared the tablecloths and put out napkins and cutlery, but why on earth didn’t they brush up the mess from under the table. It’s because I was looking at the carpet that I noticed how absolutely filthy it is. If I was the owner I’d remove the carpet and have laminated flooring put down which is much easier to keep clean.

Had a takeaway tonight. Knew it was going to be good as soon as we got it in the car, the smell was amazing. Good sized portions, excellent value, but mostly (as a vegetarian) a really wide selection. Such a nice change, we've had some horrid stuff locally. Very enjoyable meal and I'm looking forward to eating my way through the rest of the extensive vegetarian menu. Well done you Tamarind people, we'll be back soon.

Hadn't been for over a year. We were really surprised when we called in on a Friday evening. The menu had changed and staff. My partner reckons the best biryani he had for a long time. I enjoyed one of the specials. Even the dry house white has improved. We felt they deserve a thumbs up in trio advisor. Looking at some of the reviews people agree too. Have to say we normally venture to Sa1 when we have an anchoring for a curry but Tamarind is nearly up there with Rasoi. Well done, we will be returning as we're pretty local!
