The challenge came when we paid. No itemized bill meant we didn't know if we were being cheated.

Controversial review from Dan who claims that the Anarkali is superior to the Viceroy of India. I'm…read moresure the Viceroy would not be happy with this hastily blurted opinion. I must say I agree regarding Miah's - theirs is a gimmick Indian restaurant (in a church, innit) and the poshness of the venue does not bring it up to the level of the Anakarli or the Viceroy in terms of service and deliciousness. I think the Viceroy is slightly better because I have more amusing memories of my dad's friends asking for 'coca cola' in a really laboured way so the waiters would understand (they speak fluent English). Either way, St Helen's road spoils you for choice of Indians.

Yum…read more The Anarkali is the best Indian restaurant among the many in the St. Helen's Road area, just pipping the Viceroy to the title, and pushing many people's favourite - Miah's - into third place. The Viceroy's staff are far far friendlier, and Miah's boasts a great location (a refurbished church) but Anarkali just edges it for the quality of the food. It really is very nice. Even the Sunday buffet is good quality - much better than Miah's. It is quite amusing to read the Anarkali's menu. On the back there is a big pretentious spiel about how there is (I'm paraphrasing) no such thing as a curry, just the many dishes created by wives and mothers in Bangladesh - although that doesn't stop them from serving Chicken Tikka Massala and the like. I'm also pretty sure that a lot of Bangladeshi vegetarian wives and mothers aren't tucking into massive portions of meat on a nightly basis either. We'll let the Anarkali off though. I used to live 2 minutes walk from it. This was not good for my pot or my wallet.

However recently it has been taken over by new management and has pretty much all new staff with the manager trying to oversee them all. They clearly were trying but got several orders for drinks wrong and took several attempts to order the food. Also they have redecorated in a way that although looking very good, having removed all the carpets and any kind of material to soak up the sound and as such when it is full it's very hard to hear and can be very echoey especially as the music is played to loud. Having said all this it was near the start of the new holiday season (this past summer) and it was a new management team and they were very apolegetic and had a good attitude giving us a drink on the house so hopefully by now they'll have all the teething problems sorted out.

The great man who started it died just a few years back and his sons have taken over running the ship. I love the vindaloo chicken meals and class their Vindaloo the finest in the UK simply because of the type of cut they make their chicken from strips and not cubes. If you have not eaten Indian before then a biriany would be advice. The Chips are simly awesome and its well known they buy in good food. There are some quite famous residents of Port Talbot that swear by the Shah and frequent restaurants in Hollywood. Bad points maybe Parking. Good points almost everything. Homely and friendly would be a way to describe. Most of the other Indians around Port Talbot are of a good standard by the way but nobody competes on Vindaloo Chicken with the Shah and that applies Nationally.
