About Tenby Tandoori
Tenby Tandoori is an Indian restaurant set in The Hilton Basement, serving evenings daily. The menu runs to 165 dishes, spanning popadoms and onion bhaji through to tarka dhal, kerala chicken, and chicken biriani, with parotta alongside. Chilli Chicken appears both as a starter and worked into the wider menu.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the chicken biriani, called "absolutely superb," along with newly added dishes like the kerala chicken and parotta, praised as coming from "the only authentic Indian restaurant in Pembrokeshire." The Nilgiri chicken, popadoms, and chilli chicken starter also draw specific praise, with several diners noting friendly, attentive staff and food arriving hot and flavourful. Close behind, though, recurring complaints pull the experience down: one large group reports flat lager, warm replacement beer after supplies ran out, and a badly malfunctioning toilet; another diner describes being served undercooked chicken and rude treatment when they questioned it. Takeaway orders draw separate gripes, with burnt onion bhajees, a dry tandoori mixed grill, and food arriving warm rather than hot enough. A couple of reviewers also flag small portions and high prices relative to quality, with one large party's bill reaching close to £770 for a group of sixteen after service issues.

“Away from the main tourist spots pretty much down a back road means it’s quieter, don’t let that put you off as this is one of the best curries I’ve had. My kids loved the popadoms and onion bhaji. I had the Nilgiri chicken which was delicious. My wife loved her curry. Only let down was the tarka dhal which we ordered at the last minute was quite watery, but it still tasted good, so I’ll let them off. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Overall it was fantastic and I’d definitely come back next time we’re in Tenby.”

“I was disappointed with my experience at Tenby Tandoori. The portion sizes were too small and not enough for one person, especially considering the price. The food was also lacking in flavour and did not meet expectations. For the amount …”
