Quick info
About Tandoori Kitchen
Tandoori Kitchen is an Indian restaurant in Porthcawl whose menu combines Indian and Chinese dishes alongside kebabs, giving diners a wider spread than a single-cuisine kitchen. Chicken tikka masala and keema naan sit among the offerings, with naan bread served alongside meals. Orders are taken at the table rather than a counter, and the restaurant runs on a walk-in basis without reservations. Food can take a long wait to arrive once ordered, so diners should plan accordingly. The combined menu format allows a group with different cravings, from curry to Chinese-style plates to kebabs, to order from one kitchen rather than splitting between separate takeaways.

“Sounds to good to be true. Indian, Chinese and Kebabs. I thinks it's fair to say it's just ok. Not bad or great but fair enough. Really nice spacious setting inside and out. Good table service. Just lacks the quality which would make you come back for the money.”

“Family of 6, 3 kids 3 adults. Slow and lethargic service even though there were plenty of staff. We ordered assorted curries and lots of sides, starters. All arrived at the same time. Some were cold from sitting on the trolley waiting to be brought to us. Food was ok. The naan breads were really nice and hotter than the meat dishes. Drinks were late and some got forgotten. We were waiting to order our desserts but no one came or was around to call. So after 15, to 20 mins 2 of our party had to leave and still no one came. We had to go to the bar and call out for service to pay.”

“Our first visit since changing from "The Tandori Kitchen" to simply the "Trecco Kitchen" and must say a big improvement. Past experience wasn't amazing with slow service, uninterested staff and OK food but despite been quite busy when we arrived we were seated quickly, order taken and food arrived quickly, it was all really good and well priced. We had a mixture of Chinese and Indian and we all very impressed. They only missed out on 5 stars because my egg fried rice has peas in it!”
- Nigel Dickens
“Upon arrival we were told there is a 5-10 minute wait for food which we thought was acceptable, 90 minutes later the food arrived and it was actually worth the wait so thats what stops it becoming a one star review. As other reviews have mentioned the poppadoms may have been shop bought. Looked nothing like ones I've ever seen in any other Indian restaurant. The look of dread on the poor servers face when I asked for the bill probably means they get a lot of flak, but it's not actually there fault.”

“Poor food, slow service, overpriced. I asked for my curry to be extra spicy, but it wasn’t even spicy. It also had zero flavour. My friends felt similar about their food. The service was terribly slow, and we waited for a very long time for our food to arrive. We were having a laugh, and enjoyed ourselves, but some couples on the local tables seemed very agitated by the wait time. The staff were friendly, but one waitress sensed my disappointment with my food. I tried to down play it and said “maybe it’s because I am from Birmingham, and eat a lot of curry” to which she replied with “this place isn’t really the best if you want a good curry”. Also, it was REALLY overpriced for what it was. We spent £90 per family of 3, without desserts.”

Customer Review Summary
The curry divides reviewers sharply. Praise centers on tender, well-spiced meat, with the chicken tikka masala, chicken komas, sea bass pakoras and keema naan singled out, and one diner who lives over two hours away says they would return just for the curry. Others found the curry flavourless even when they asked for it extra spicy, and one described the keema naan as tasting like kebab meat with little flavour. Slow service is the most repeated complaint, with dishes arriving cold after sitting on a trolley, forgotten drinks, and a very long wait for food. A couple of reviewers thought the poppadoms looked shop bought. Friendly, welcoming staff and a spacious setting inside and out earn credit, and one returning diner found a big improvement in speed after the venue changed its name. A festival curry night drew complaints of tiny, cold portions, a burnt onion bhaji and half a naan, and one party left early. Another family had to go to the bar and call out for service to pay.
