I ordered a range of starters - lamb chops, spicy scallops and saag paneer and enjoyed them all!…read more The paneer is actually the best I've had. They're normally very dry in every other Indian place I've been to but these were juicy and yums. My boyfriend told me that this place has gone through many a changes and confirmed the previous review (about hygiene standards). He assured me that they've completely done a 180 the last few years though and that they're safe food hygiene safety wise. The restaurant was spotless but the service and drinks were a bit of a let down. My amaretto sour was one of the worst cocktails I've tasted - way way too sweet even for a sweet tooth like mine. Service is very standoffish and the food took over 30 minutes to arrive. Desserts were shop brought - the type you see at many other restaurants so we didn't bother. I would come back to try more starters though (the menu was huuuuge). And good food is pretty slim pickings in Swansea from what I've experienced.

Was disturbed to read the other review since I dined here last month and lived to see another day…read moreAND enjoyed my meal. Secondly, if you look at TripAdvisor you'll see a completely different set of reviews http://pattirajswansea.com/. Pros: Wait staff was very attentive and kind even though we walked in for dinner at 9:30/10pm. Loved that they took ownership of the Patti Pavilion and saved an iconic building in the area. Second half of the building is still used for functions. Enjoyed papadums, lemon rice, fried rice, peshwari nan, garlic nan, chicken tikka, and saag. Really enjoyed all of the food and found it to be very delicious. Cons/Suggestions: Menu was a bit long...I would recommend that they focus on making their most popular dishes and drop the additions to the menu. I would have to assume that they currently keep a lot of their food in the freezer with such a long menu.

Wow. All that can be said really. A varied group who have had Indian all over the world met here…read moretonight. The food was no less than what you would expect from a 5 star establishment. Excellent portion size, fantastic flavor, and the most perfectly tender, well-seasoned meats we've ever had, period, let alone with a curry. Highlights were the chicken tikka (grilled breast meat), chicken tikka masala vindaloo, and very original takes on starters like chicken pakora and meat samosas, but every dish was spot on. Yes, what we ordered was more English-Indian, but you should expect any dish ordered from the menu, to be the most fantastic version you've ever tasted. We wish we weren't leaving the UK in a few days, so that we might make a return trip. Make your year, and book @ Vojon now. Thanks us for this review later :)

Great Indian food served in comfortable surroundings. This is my favourite curry house in Swansea,…read moreparticularly because of their Saffron Chicken dish, I love it so much that in over 9 years have only tried other people's dishes and keep going back to my favourite, a mild sweet flavoured chicken but with much more depth than a korma! Side dishes like peshwari nan, pilau rice are well cooked and tasty plus one of the best chutney trays with popadums. As the Bengal Brasserie is off the main drag of Indian restaurants it generally is possible to get a table on all but the busiest nights without any problem. Parking is always easy too and service is friendly and helpful.

Fantastic and comfortable restaurant with great staff, good service and most importantly the best…read morecurries I have tasted in Swansea. Absolutely love the food in this place, well presented with beautifully broad flavours. I must admit that I haven't tried more than a couple of items on the menu as I have fallen in love with 'my dishes', but that seems to be true of most people who I know eat there. Small word of warning, but not a criticism, if you go for the buffet you won't get the same range and quality of flavours, but then the same is true of most restaurants. All in all a fantastic place to get a top quality Indian meal in Swansea, if you get the chance try it, I promise you, you wont want to eat anywhere else!

Rubbish…read more Their set menu is cheap, but twice I've tried it and left incredibly annoyed. When I went with eleven other people they insisted in sitting us in tables of four and only taking orders from one table at once. By the time the third set of four had ordered the starters of the first set were already ready, hot and fresh from the microwave. Don't bother, if you want a curry this cheap wait until Sunday and go to a buffet in a better curry house.

Controversial review from Dan who claims that the Anarkali is superior to the Viceroy of India. I'm…read moresure the Viceroy would not be happy with this hastily blurted opinion. I must say I agree regarding Miah's - theirs is a gimmick Indian restaurant (in a church, innit) and the poshness of the venue does not bring it up to the level of the Anakarli or the Viceroy in terms of service and deliciousness. I think the Viceroy is slightly better because I have more amusing memories of my dad's friends asking for 'coca cola' in a really laboured way so the waiters would understand (they speak fluent English). Either way, St Helen's road spoils you for choice of Indians.

Yum…read more The Anarkali is the best Indian restaurant among the many in the St. Helen's Road area, just pipping the Viceroy to the title, and pushing many people's favourite - Miah's - into third place. The Viceroy's staff are far far friendlier, and Miah's boasts a great location (a refurbished church) but Anarkali just edges it for the quality of the food. It really is very nice. Even the Sunday buffet is good quality - much better than Miah's. It is quite amusing to read the Anarkali's menu. On the back there is a big pretentious spiel about how there is (I'm paraphrasing) no such thing as a curry, just the many dishes created by wives and mothers in Bangladesh - although that doesn't stop them from serving Chicken Tikka Massala and the like. I'm also pretty sure that a lot of Bangladeshi vegetarian wives and mothers aren't tucking into massive portions of meat on a nightly basis either. We'll let the Anarkali off though. I used to live 2 minutes walk from it. This was not good for my pot or my wallet.
