"Read so many reviews praising Star of Wales, but the quality of the food was disappointing. Every dish was fairly bland in flavour with many tasting as if they had been watered down. The lamb saag was the highlight, but the meat was chewy. I thought the food would be traditional curry house fare done really well, but unfortunately it seemed like any other average Indian restaurant. However, the staff were friendly and you do get good portions. All in all it was OK. I wouldn't tell friends not to go there, but manage their expectations given the hype."

Have got a takeaway several times from here and it's always good. Ate in during December and was just as good! Food is fresh, flavoursome and staff are always friendly

1st time ever going there tonight for my birthday meal and I must I will most definitely be going again. The food was amazing and the staff treat you great. The boss was talking to us and he memorises everyone that goes there. Highly recommend going here.

A very welcoming restaurant the team couldn't have been better. Service was great. Food fresh and hot. The chicken tikka starter is a must. Biryani was delicious. Marked 4 out of 5 for food only because the salad could have been better. Naan bread were really good. Worth a visit and good value for money

"It was the most bizarre experience dining here. First when we arrived in the restaurant, our group set up was that there was someone on each end who was sitting facing an empty chair on the other side of the table. Upon enquiry we understood it was a covid measure, however never had any other restaurants requesting such seating arrangements in the past 20 months. We ordered two split pots, a non-spicy broth for one side of the pot and a spicy broth for the other side. The staff came to confirm that we wanted spicy/non-spicy in each pot. Yes, we said. To our shock when the pots came, one pot was spicy/spicy on both side, and the other was non-spicy/non-spicy on both sides. This was after the staff had came by to confirm that we wanted a spicy/non-spicy set-up, and in the usual situation a person wanting a spicy broth would not have asked for a split pot. We raised this to the staff and were clearly unhappy about it, though did not insist on having the broths changed around. What happened next made it the most awkward and uncomfortable dining experience ever. From where we were sitting, we could hear the owner reprimanding the staff for the error, throughout our meal. We understand mistakes occur and if the owner was unhappy about the mistake and genuinely wanted to apologise, taking the initiative to change the broth to the right setup, or a complimentary drink or dish would have gone a long way. But no, he chose to reprimand the staff within our hearing for the whole dinner (which didn't help the situation one bit and made the experience worse! . We felt sorry for the staff. Even with the hospitality shortage, that was a completely wrong way to help the staff improve, nor help retain them in the long run. I don't remember anything about the food, although photos did show a good range to choose from. At the end of the meal we each received a box of hello panda, which might have helped, if not for the fact they were expired. All in all, would not recommend."
