This restuarant is located right at the top of the high street where it forks into Crackwell Street.It is located on two floors, with seating in the bay window overlooking Tenbys North Beach and Harbour.

The food is superb, and was very well presented indeed. Check out the icing sugar swan on the desert (excellently modelled by Wendy).

Unfortunately, during busy periods this suffers from the same problem as many many restaurants nationwide -customer experience flies out of the window to be replaced by the restaurant wanting to take as many covers -bums on seats -as possible.

They were handing us the bill before we had even finished our desert! If we had given them our coats to hang up I’m pretty sure they would have been giving us them back as soon as we had downed our forks in order for us to vacate our seats so the next punter can have them. And we Booked!

This makes the experience of going out for a meal on a Saturday night Crap to be honest. What if we had wanted coffee What about having a relaxing night out Why is it all about takings and nothing to do with customer experience

Do you think I’m wrong ?

Is it Ok for restaurants to do this on a Saturday Night ?

Its a shame. The food was great.

4 stars for the food

No stars at all for the experience of eating there on Saturday -unless you get the bay window seats and are not kicked out of your seat before you have finished.

Yellowfingers on holiday! Whilst taking a weeks vacation in sunny (!…sometimes) Tenby we decided to add this delightful seaside towns two Indian/Bengali restaurants to our reviews, which was really no hardship!

First off was Little India, located on the high street area of Tenby.

As this was a Monday evening, getting a seat was easy. I don’t think the same would be said during the week-end though, as past experience has proven this to be difficult -week-ends in Tenby are manic everywhere.

You enter down a flight of steps to a sparsly decorated room, with a centre bar and seating down the side and rear.

We decided to forego starters and head straight for the main course.

I ordered the Little India Special Cocktail – 9.95- a mixed grill of Chicken and lamb Tikka, Tandoori Chicken portion and Sheek kebab, dressed with fried onions and either accompanied by a mince bhuna or a naan. I chose the bhuna which was a good choice.

I can state that no one left anything at all which is a good sign, and my meal was quite delicious. Other comments around the table concluded that although the meals they had (Dhansak for example) were ‘different’ from what they usually expect ,they were still good all the same.

If there is to be any criticism then this would be that more detail needed to be made to the presentation. Mine looked a little ‘washed out’. It needed more colour. A healthy sprinkling of fresh coriander would have improved this, and also a welcome little charring to the fried onions would have also helped…but not too much, obviously.

All in all, worth a visit if you are on your holidays.
