The Spice Connoisseur

Had a take away, Jalfrezi and chicken biryani which was absolutely delicious, chicken was very succulent and sauces delicious, portion size very large and service was excellent. Highly recommend inside presently closed for some refurbishment.

Met by the owner Sammy what a gentleman courteous and very welcoming had starters with various dips then an absolutely superb chicken tikka and lamb tikka rice and nan bread empty dishes all around , a few lovely beers (Optional very comfortable and a good ambience .

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. Ver carta

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.

Went there last Saturday and the restaurant was full house! We are very lucky that we have booked! But nevertheless the food was excellent, packed with flavours and it was piping hot when our food arrived which is a good sign! (10/10 for the food!! The service from the staff was excellent and they were all very friendly and attentive! I would recommend that you give this restaurant a try if you love Indian food!

I've been going to the Spice Connoisseur for quite a while now and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. The Staff are really friendly and helpful. I travel to the Spice Connoisseur from a fair distance away but it's always worth it. The Restaurant have aldo made a great effort with some of their Decor. For example they have a huge picture of the Taj Mahal at the back of the Restaurant. I recently had the Biryani and it's to be recommended as it's not greasy at all. Ver carta

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.

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... Ver carta
