Hi. Planning to go to Waterford valentines for an Indian.

Looking to know what would be the best Indian restaurant to go to ?


Thanks

Cafe Goa on The Quay is lovely, but it's a little cramped in the restaurant, but the food is really good http://uk.search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A7x9QaUd5fhS5icAEyhLBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTE1bGZjaGtkBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2lyZAR2dGlkA01TWVVLMDVfNzg-/SIG=11agh8tse/EXP=1392072093/**http%3a//www.cafegoa.ie/

Kashmir Tandoori on High Street is also nice http://www.menupages.ie/Waterford/east_waterford/waterford_city/kashmir_tandoori_restaurant/menu

Café Goa FTW...

It's right across from the bus station. You'll probably need to reserve - they're usually full at weekends and on occasions like Valentine's.

Cafe Goa +100. Smashing place

Eastenders best for food. staff good too. Decent space in there too, unlike Goa. On the Quay towards the bridge end.

I hear good things about Blue Moon on Park Road too.

I used to swear by Cafe Goa - lovely food, nice staff - but it can get very cramped in there when it's busy. They have a bigger room upstairs, but apparently it's only open for large groups/functions.

I go to Eastenders now as it's much bigger, and I can't fault them on food or service.

I tried Planet Spice (also on the Quay), and I have to say I wasn't impressed with either the food or the service!

Little India opposite St John's Church in Parnell street is very good and cheap too been there lots of times and never disappointed.

Have got take aways from eastenders, little india, blue mango and plant spice countless times and i will pick eastenders as my fave as there curry is nice and hot, rice is nice and so is there nam bread.

Little india used to be my go to place last year but there very dear to get a takeaway from i find. But i miss there curry a lot

Blue Mango i find has the nicest nam bread of them all but i find there currys very oily but they are still nice.

Plant Spice i used to go to the sister restaurant in clomnel all the time but had a shocking exp there one day for lunch. Find them really dear for what you get. Also was there for a all you can eat for lunch one day and everything was extremely tasteless i found

Café Goa 101% head and shoulders above the rest.
Eastenders is pure slop and oil.

Trick of the Tail

I'd strenuously counter that comment about Eastenders. I've never had oily or sloppy food there.

In fact, another non-Indian restaurant in Waterford used to employ an Indian waiter.

I asked him once which was the best Indian resto in Waterford, and he replied "For the food, Eastenders".

Good enough for me.

Kashmir Tandoori for me. Lovely grub

kashmir tanodoori i love it there boooooooooooiiiiiiii i does

Eastenders without a shadow of a doubt. Space, Price and Food is incredible. Ive been to most and id definitely say Eastenders is the best all round.

Eastenders was always my favorite, but they just kept messing up my delivery orders, if they had been better in that regard (I was a regular customer for over 3 years at this stage!) I would never have left them.

For going in to eat I would still recommend them, I get my take aways from Planet Spice now mainly, found Goa to be a little overrated tbh, nice enough though. Kashmir Tandori is worth a look too

Cafe Goa is very nice but I find it hugely overpriced.
I would without hesitation recommend kaismir tandoori. Great food and you won't get ripped off.

Thank you to everyone who commented

You get what you pay for.
Café Goa make and crush their own spices. The others as far as I understand buy them in, in packets.

Please report back on your Eastenders experience? in detail.

It's more things like your rice etc is all an extra cost whereas it isn't in kaismir tandoori and the food tastes as good.

Also recommend Little India Parnell Street. Cheap and cheerful, good food, nice portions, friendly service always.

None, these are what is called "Irish Indian food", i.e. cheap curries and crap.

Nice as a take-away but not restaurant quality... for example when have you seen fish on a menu in an Indian here? Never, do they not eat fish? I think they do

Cafe Goa have a fish dish, as well as lots of prawn dishes.

You can always call them and ask if they'll make you a specific dish... worst they can do is say no.

The reason that they don't do fish is because there is not a market for it.
I have eaten in Indian restaurants all over the World (Have a passion for Indian food) and Café Goa is amazing value for the quality of food and ingredients you get.
There is very little difference in what you get in Café Goa and in India.
There is also one big difference with Café Goa and the others... The owner is the chef a lot of the time and he gives a shi* what you think of his food.
If your not happy tell him and he will replace it or change it.
The others have waiters that don't fully understand what the food is about and lack understanding of what Irish customers require.

Sorry to go on but before I travel anywhere in the World I look up restaurants to try and always at least one Indian in each city on each trip.

Blue Mango by the peoples park is very good. Got a couple of takeaways from there recently and was very happy. Great prices too.

Nice menu but couldn't get over how much more expensive their takeaway was than Kashmir Tandoori. And you get a free starter with every two main courses takeaway in KT.

The food was lovely but was not worth the extra dosh. Won't be using it again for takeaway.

which one has the hottest vindaloo?

Café Goa will make it as hot as you require.

I always thought that a Beer and Hot curry festival would work very well some weekend in Waterford.

If you can eat the HOT curry you get it for free.
Could also do a who can eat the Hot curry fastest and give a prize of a trip to India for 2...

Watch this space...What do you think?

Little India do some pretty hot stuff, the fire eater is good

I ordered the Fire Eater once because I had a cold and wanted a hot curry. I used to think I had a high tolerance for heat, but I could only eat about half of it - it was so hot! I wasn't defeated, though - I ate the rest of of it cold in pitta breads over the next two days.

Went to Eastenders restaurant after . The meal was lovely. Very reasonable priced also. Thanks to everyone who commented.

You now know you have to go to Café Goa and compare.com?

Eastenders does a great Sunday lunch buffet. All you can eat for €8.99.

We went to Blue Mango last night. Lovely grub and great service.

I had their Fire Eater, which was v hot, but good!

There was only one other couple in there at 9pm on a Saturday night which is a shame, but they seemed to be shifting a few takeaway deliveries.

Went to have a meal in Café Goa last night but they close on a Monday so went to Planet Spice just down the Quay from it.

Early bird for 14.90.
Took 15 minutes before he got to address us on the table as he was on the phone chatting.
Ordered the King Prawns...2 arrived and were both under cooked to a dangerous level in a sick sauce. Terrible starter.
Ordered a Beef Balti for the main and a bowl of slop arrived with about 8 cubes of tough beef. I ate about 3 cubes and could not eat any more. Total rubbish. Got a Pashwari nan which was not bad and that killed the hunger.

Beware as the food is true rubbish and the worse I have ever had.
Sad times.

Did you tell them this and how did they react?

I can change for you... and basically did not get it.
I have eaten Indian food all over the World and this was the worst ever, period. Just pure slop.
The person with me also have 2 courses and again the same.
Onion Bhaji which had more flour in it than onion and the potato curry (cant think of the name) but again was just a really bad processed sauce.

4 bad dishes out of 4 is not good.
The wine and the nan were ok though.
If I was marking out of 10
Service 2-10
Food 0-10
Price 2-10 considering the food was so bad.
atmosphere 4-10 ok music and décor but was very cold.

I went a few months ago and had a similar experience - food and service very poor, even though we were the only customers in there. Always felt sorry for them prior to that, as whenever I walked past there was hardly ever anyone in there... now I know why! Won't be going back.
