There was one vegetarian choice amongst the three main 'curries' plus some starters like samosas.

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.

The great man who started it died just a few years back and his sons have taken over running the ship. I love the vindaloo chicken meals and class their Vindaloo the finest in the UK simply because of the type of cut they make their chicken from strips and not cubes. If you have not eaten Indian before then a biriany would be advice. The Chips are simly awesome and its well known they buy in good food. There are some quite famous residents of Port Talbot that swear by the Shah and frequent restaurants in Hollywood. Bad points maybe Parking. Good points almost everything. Homely and friendly would be a way to describe. Most of the other Indians around Port Talbot are of a good standard by the way but nobody competes on Vindaloo Chicken with the Shah and that applies Nationally.

This is one of the best Indian Restaurants in the are if not one of the best Indian restaurants…read moreI've eaten in. The decor is really light and vibrant, but not garish, which makes a difference from your run of the mill Indian restaurants, where it's either dark enough for you to mistake green chillies for green beans (which is obviously a joke played on the customers by the proprietors) but it's also not over the top purple and pink flamingo style. Genuinely nice staff, Jay and Sam, who are simply great nice guys. They'll recognise you on the street and talk to you - you get that kind of personalised service. Although they seem to have different chefs on different nights, the quality of the food is always spot on. They are always willing to accommodate any dishes that you may request. The Sunday buffet eat as much as you like makes a wwelcome change from cooking dinner sometimes. Unfortunately they are often prohibited from serving you 'the good stuff' because the culinary demands of your average person in Maesteg doesn't go far beyond chicken tikka lasagne. My tips - you've got to eat chick peas when you go to the Indian, but when you order it, do not order the chickpea massala - order the chickpea bhoona. It's real, contemporary Indian cuisene - just like it says outside. people do come from miles around to Mumtaz and they come with good reason.
