The Spice Connoisseur

11 of us including a 3 yr old had a lovely evening in this restaurant aka Spice Ambassador in Taffs Well. The owner and his staff were really helpful and attentive start to finish, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Food? Well, every choice served to us all was delicious, unique in many cases. Personally, my lamb dish was probably the best lamb presentation I've tasted in an Indian restaurant. Helpings were nicely generous but not too daunting or wasteful, arriving all hot and at the same time, notable considering we were a large group in a busy restaurant. Many thanks to staff for a lovely time- we'll definitely be back.

It was our first time at the restaurant. We have passed it many times and decided to give it a go. The welcome was really pleasant, with the waiters smiling and laughing with customers. We were seated in the conservatory area, which was cooler than the many area, but fine nevertheless. We all shared starters to begin. The starter option and prawn puree. Both delicious, but on the small side. For many mains again we shared House Special Biryani and some more starters for the vegetarian friend. Chips and naans as extras too. All were delicious and large portions. I could see on another table of 3 guys, the one with a biryani was really struggling to eat it all. He managed about 50% and said he would take it away and have it the next day! Kingfisher beer on tap was great too. All in all a really enjoyable night out with good food. We will return!

This is my second time visiting this restaurant, and I want to mention that my wife and I are both vegan. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. We have been eating curries for years, both vegan and non-vegan, and I can honestly say that this is the best curry we have ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and felt very welcome. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Once again, everything was perfect!! The food was delicious, especially the scotch egg (which I highly recommend). The portion sizes were generous, with very fresh meats. We all left feeling full. The staff were incredibly friendly and cheerful, and nothing was too much trouble. Overall, we had a fantastic evening and will definitely be coming back soon.

We had a fantastic takeout experience. We ordered lamb tikka with salad, Captain Pathila Pilau rice, Peshwari naan, and Saag. The food was delicious and consistently high quality. It was great to see Sam, a talented chef, cooking our meal, although we do miss dining in at the restaurant. While waiting, we enjoyed a nice glass of wine. We are always impressed with the food quality and value for money, especially compared to other Indian takeout restaurants that often skimp on the meat. Overall, we are very happy with our experience.
