Orchid - Carta

First time here glad to say won't be my last great food had the chilli and salt chicken mmm fantastic taste loved it cheers

Four of us had one of the best oriental meal ever. Good quality, great service and value. Food cooked fresh and staff kept us informed on the progress of our order

Just returned from a fantastic meal at Orchid. It has moved location to Pier Street but the food is just as good. So pleased to see this restaurant re-open, especially as it is open on a Sunday night (not many restaurants open on a Sunday night). Well done Ahmet. Ver carta

This restaurant was strangely empty and seemed to be unsure of its identity as a cafe/bar/restaurant. Despite this, the food was surprisingly good, especially the Japanese tempura vegetable starter, which was one of the best I've had in a long time. The service was prompt and they even had my favorite drink, Crabbies, which is rare to find in restaurants. However, the waitress seemed bored and turned the radio up to an unbearable volume, playing aggressive jungle/drum n bass music. With better staff training and a marketing update, I believe this place could attract more customers thanks to its delicious food.

After a 3.5 hour journey to start contract in Aberystwyth I walked the cold damp streets for a good half hour. I found the orchid restaurant. Lovely little find. I had a veggie Tom yam soup, perfect to balance the horrid weather outside, warming and a slight chilli heat. I also opted for a masseman curry. Unlike any masseman I tasted before but still delicious. Packed full of vegetables and not to over powering. The only downside was the rice, in a moment of madness I forgot vegetables fried rice would have egg in it. My fault so I won't mark down for my own silly error. I have eaten enough Asian food to know better. The staff were lovely, attentive but not over bearing. My total meal was ar...

On our first night in Aberystwyth, we decided to try this restaurant for a quick and easy meal with our young daughter. We were initially taken aback by the fact that the restaurant was empty throughout our visit, which made us question the quality. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the nicely decorated restaurant and the delicious food. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the hanging beef, while my moussaka was also delightful. The portions were generous, but the downside was the state of the toilets. Unfortunately, they were quite grim and did not match the standards of the restaurant's decor or the food quality. Despite this, do not let the empty restaurant deter you - the food is defini... Ver carta

After a recommendation from the hotel we were staying in, we visited this restaurant (which is not on the sea front, and has moved ensure you go to the right place). The food itself was tasty, fresh, with a good punch. Decent portions too. Sadly they had run out of most deserts, so we passed on this side of it. I can always forgive the small mistakes of an inexperienced waitress, and would have given the venue a higher score, but decided to go to the toilet before i left. Huge mistake. After thinking i had walked through the wrong door, (i hadn't) i was directed through a pitch black external courtyard in the heavy rain via the waitresses phone torch, to a pair of toilets which wouldn't have...

My family and I dined at Orchid last night and were pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant completely empty, along with most other eateries in town. We were seated at a nice table in the newly renovated restaurant on Pier Street. Our waitress was very friendly and quickly provided us with a high chair for our child. We ordered drinks, chicken massaman curry, a Filipino beef dish (whose name escapes me), and chicken noodles for the kids. The food was exceptional, much better than expected. While it is true that the toilets are a bit rundown, with outdoor facilities likely due to the building's age, this did not bother me. However, the broken toilet, door propped open with a drain rod, an...

Last night of a family holiday. Staying in Brynowen (15 20 mins away) but wanted somewhere nice for our “last supper”! Settled on a Thai meal and TripAdvisor suggested this place. Last review indicated the Orchid had moved a couple of streets away so thankfully we went to Pier Street. Aberystwyth itself was dead. Friday night. Quite surprised but apparently the local university has finished for the summer, its only the beginning of peak holiday season and the weather today was shocking. But still expected the centre of the nearest decent sized town to be somewhat more bustling than dead! Orchid had only one other couple in when we arrived so no need to book. Shown to a table by a friendly wa... Ver carta
