I have no idea why the rating here isn't much higher - their food is EXCELLENT. They have an extensive menu of delicious and very reasonably priced Indian dishes; the service is always friendly, helpful, and fast; and they're nearly always open. Bonus: you can sit and have a pint in the Lion and they'll bring your dinner over to you when it's ready. For take-away you really can't beat Harlech Tandoori. Highly recommended.

Food was lovely but that was about it. Wasn’t welcomed when walked in and premises was freezing cold. To begin with the front of house gentleman was pleasant and chatty but took ages for us to order, despite us being the only people in there and as the night went on he kept asking why is our baby crying. When it came to the bill, he charged us for 2 portions of chips despite us ordering 1 (he blamed it on his hearing) and asked if I wanted change. Never have I been asked if I wanted change.

What a meal... we have tried this place year ago and I will be honest and it wasn't the best... but my god they have upped their game. Delicious and full of flavour. We have a take away as we live local!! Not a bad meal in the past year full of flavour and meat... Awsome take away. And friendly guy .. thanka=diolch

Said they were open to 2200 went there after a pint at 2130 closed, but they did make me a takeaway. Hence the stars .

Filthy place, dirty table cloths and the owner had food stains all down his jumper. Turned round and walked straight out

This is lovely little restaurant, the food was delicious and service was excellent. It was quiet when we went so managed to have a nice chat with the very pleasant owner. Certainly will be returning here.
We’re in Harlech a lot but have never tried the food here due to the reviews, but last night we thought we’d give it a try so went in and ordered a takeaway. There were only 4 people in there and it does need a refurbishment but the food was actually very good! I did have to wait a little while for someone to come and take my order, and he was a little abrupt, but I had butter chicken and mushroom pilau rice and my husband had lamb dupiaza and boiled rice and both were piping hot and we could have shared one rice as there was so much of it, and it was very tasty. We would definitely go back.

Arrived in Harlech on Tuesday 29th Aug. Loved the quaint old worlde atmosphere of Harlech, but nowhere was open for our evening meal.....except this restaurant! Walked in and was greeted by an elderly gent who sat us at our decrepit table and even more decrepit chairs. He asked if we wanted cobra, husband had one. He asked if we wanted poppadoms. We said no thank you. He then demanded, you want poppadoms? My Grandson did, so we had 3. At the cost of £4.75! What a joke, we are given them free at our local Indian. Ordered the meal which at best was mediocre. Asked for the bill. You can only pay in cash or by cheque with card!! Who carries a cheque book around these days?? We paid cash, and got out of that dirty place as quickly as possible. Would I recommend? Definitely not!

The place needed a complete refurbishment. Damaged seats. Plaster missing from walls. Awful toilets. Food was ok. The state of the place made us wonder about the state of the kitchen

Food is really great in this place. We had tarka dhal, chana saag and a veg dansak – all prepared beautifully and tasted great. Waiter/manager accommodated non-dairy diet.The waiter (and I assume manager) ended up being incredibly rude and hostile to us, unfortunately. Seemed to stem from me calling him out for serving us 2 can-poured pints of Cobra, when the menu stated it was from the tap. There was no one in there, so was very obvious when he tried to subtly crack the cans and pour them out of view of the bar.Now, I don't go out for Indian food to get drunk. But a cold pint of draught Cobra definitely compliments the meal and adds to the experience. If there's a shiny Cobra tap at the bar and you order one, I think it's fair to expect the staff to tell you if the tap is off, rather than pour it out of a can, hope you don't notice, and still charge a fiver.After I pointed it out, he made an excuse about the menus not being up to date, and then just continued to be massively rude to us for the rest of our meal. Put our food on the table with the least amount of verbal interaction possible, and then was very keen to take our plates before we'd finished or were ready to leave. There were 2 tables being served including us - low pressure on kitchen and waiting staff, he just wanted to see the back of us.This is terrible service. I know that a lot of restaurants are struggling at the moment, maybe that leads them to make choices they don't want to make. But if that means treating your customers like mugs, at least put your hands up or have a back up when you get called up on it. Apologise, make a joke, even brush it off and pretend it didn't happen. Anything is better than making the customer(s) feel totally uncomfortable for their whole meal and absolutely determined not to leave a tip or good review.Good food though!
