Indian restaurant in Newport

“Chicken Tikka Karahi was authentic. The chicken was well marinated meaning the flavours went inside the good quality meat and as a result it was very tender and moist. The spices were on point. The bindi was fresh and well cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices, so the vegetable was the right consistency, tender but not slimy. The rice was fluffy and delicate and the paratha mopped up the flavours. No alcohol which makes for a pleasant atmosphere although they will serve your own if you bring it, with no corkage charge. Highly recommend,”

“Used to live in Llanhilleth 2012 Tamarind was our go to Indian. Since moving to Cardiff nothing has compared. Working in Abertillery yesterday I pulled by to pick up a cheeky curry on the way home. 13 years later, still the best curry house in south wales.”

“Had a lovely meal from here in the week. Always tastes amazing and very good customer service. Would recommend to anyone. Just a note they are closed on Tuesdays- they are having issues with getting it changed on the website at the moment.”

“We ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, Lamb Tikka Masala, Keema and Peshwari Naan, Bombay Aloo, Pilau Rice, Onion Bhaji and Taj Grill and it was all so so tasty! Really really impressed!”

“Had a 17 ppl party and they managed well I was sat next to 40 biker table they were loud but were a good neighboring table very polite. Staff were flat out trying to serve Food came in good time.

Hopefully after Christmas when it gets more quite. Thank you guys Keep it up.”

The welcome from Alan the manager was genuinely warm and we felt reassured when he asked if we had any allergies. The place was clean and kept clean regularly. The food was hot, fresh and consistently topped up. Good quality and tasty. Will definitely return and recommend to friends”

“Best curry house in Newport. Food is delicious, cooked fresh and great flavour. All the staff are so helpful and on the ball. Service is excellent. There were 11 of us in total and not a single thing wrong with any of our meals. Thank you again for a great meal!”

“This place recently undertook new management , and I went in with my family. We ordered roughly £50 worth of food, and it was absolutely worth every penny. I must say, the garlic naan is astonishing I would highly recommend it. The young man at the front was very welcoming and friendly. The place is full of good vibes, and I’m definitely coming back soon.”

“The best curry house in south Wales. It never disappoints! Highly recommended!”

“Only place I'll order a curry from! I always have the chicken Naga curry with coconut rice and it's always delicious and beautifully spicy! Never had a bad experience from here”

“Woww very good food and friendly staff. Good price”

“We tried this fantastic tucked away little restaurant for the first time last night after reading about it online and thought we'd give it a go. We booked a table just an hour beforehand and were told no problem just come along and when we turned up we found it was just beginning to get busy at 7.30pm. The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the first moment and very helpful when I asked some questions about dishes suitable to my girlfriends tastes and needs they were more than obliging in answering. After a very short wait the food itself was absolutely superb beginning with the perfectly fresh and crispy poppadums and vibrantly colourful pickle tray which contained some really appetising and tasty selections. Before long the main courses arrived and they certainly did not disappoint as they tasted just as good as they looked as well as being generously portioned. The spiciness of the biryani that I'd enquired about was just as I'd been assured it would and all of the food was fresh, colourful and full of flavour. The peshwari naan and saag paneer side dish were also absolutely outstanding. The prices also deserve a mention as being very reasonable especially when compared to the other couple of great restaurants we have frequented in newport. I think this place tops those both in terms of cost and very slightly in quality too. The food itself feels very light and somewhat less rich and oily than most other places which we really found to be a bonus as we left feeling much less of the usual "after Indian feeling" that we usually get. We will definitely be frequenting this lovely little restaurant from now on and we wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend it to anyone who gets the opportunity to try it.”

“Had a lovely meal here recently. Food was incredible and the wait staff couldn't do enough for us! You know when you have an Indian and the meat is really dry in the curry? This wasn't the case at all here. Also really helpful and knowledgeable with allergens”

“Had a curry from Popadoms, and it was incredible! The flavors were rich and perfectly spiced, and everything tasted so fresh. The portion was just right, and the food arrived hot and full of flavor. The service was spot on too—friendly and quick. Honestly, one of the best curries I’ve had in a long time. Can’t wait to order again!”

“We have chicken tikka masala and it's just amazing I've had indian food from a few places in newport but they don't come close to simla spice, the service is good and friendly the food is stunning.”

“The most delicious biryani I've ever had.. £8.. totally worth. Very good ambience. Indian songs as well..”

“Usually use a different tandoori, however as I had a justeat voucher I decided to try A Touch of Spice. I was not disappointed. The food arrived fresh & was full of flavour. Reasonably priced. Ordered a chefs special biryani (lamb, chicken & prawn), saag aloo, tarka dhal, tandoori lamb chops & poppadom. The lamb chops were amazing especially for the price & received 4 poppadoms despite only purchasing one. There was plenty of food for my daughter & I, with lots leftover (minus lamb chops). Would definitely order again.”
