Reviews Sopna Menai Tandoori

We've been going here for years. But last night my wife wanted to try another not too far away for her birthday. After an appalling service, or should I say lack of. We ended up going here. It was busy but Sid welcomed us with open arms. Went out of his way to lay a table and sat us down. The service was great as usual as we the food. And he even put a banner up for my wife. Couldn't thank you more Sid, you are a legend.

After seeing some of the very bad reviews for this place, I honestly think they must be out of their minds because it was genuinely one of the best meals we've ever eaten. We booked a table and were one of about 4 tables in the restaurant at the time (we'd booked quite early at around 5:30 so obviously it wasn't going to be busy yet). We ordered drinks and pickle tray + poppadoms which came out almost immediately. The pickle tray was one of the best we've had. Lovely mango chutney and the yogurt sauce was beautiful. The staff were even able to tell us off the top of their heads what was in it. We then ordered our main meals. Not sure how long they took to come but it certainly wasn't long, despite all the takeaway orders they were also cooking up (by the sounds of it, plenty of locals coming to collect takeaways who all clearly knew the staff). We had chicken pakoras and onion bahjis for starters which again were fabulous. For our mains, we had butter chicken, chicken korma, lamb bhuna, and chicken balti. Every dish was phenomenal. One of the waiters recommended having coconut rice with the butter chicken and it was an incredible combination. The rest of us had pilau rice which was so light and fluffy but still so full of flavour. Other reviews have complained about how the rice is served on the metal platters but ours was not cold in the slightest. We had a gobi aloo to share which, when mixed with the curries, was gorgeous. Perfectly cooked potatoes and cauliflower in a beautiful sauce. Finally, we had 2 naan breads which were each cut into 4 pieces making it much more manageable. Clearly freshly cooked and wonderfully soft. Of course, I have to complement the staff too. The two waiters who served us together were incredibly attentive and clearly very proud of the restaurant. Someone on our table dropped a fork and immediately a waiter came over with a new one. They also noticed immediately when someone's drink was finished and promptly came to ask if they would like another one. It was a nice touch that they had recommendations for which rice worked well with which curry as the butter chicken + coconut rice combo was to die for. As previously stated, they had a fantastic knowledge of the menu items and what ingredients were used for them. They took great pride in the fact that all food is cooked to order i.e. no pots of curry being cooked and then reheated, freshly cooked naan bread, freshly cooked starter dishes etc. Overall, this was one of the best meals we've ever had. We come to Anglesey every year and have already planned to return to this restaurant. Like previously mentioned, I just felt so compelled to write this review as the bad reviews I've seen make absolutely no sense to me. Anyone who thinks the food is tasteless, the staff are rude, and the wait times are terrible must have been at a completely different restaurant.

Go on holiday a lot to Anglesey, and every time will always go here, great food. Great service. Staff are very friendly, when ever i have gone in to collect food for take away service, you are always treated as a valued guest. Am looking forward to coming back here in October!

Went for a meal with 5 others and had a great time. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and there was plenty space for everyone to sit comfortably

This restaurant is the one on Menai Bridge. Sid is the owner, very pleasant and friendly gentleman. The food is outstanding, the staff are very helpful and friendly.

Very nice food, Tried several times, Friendly staff.

Don’t be misled by the simple and basic ambience - the food and the service are top quality. If you were looking for spicy food, this is the right place. The variety of curries is great and has authentic South east Asian taste. Clean loo. Good value for money

Myself and a group of friends had a great curry here. We were very fortunate that they were able to fit us in as the previous two restaurants we tried were understaffed. Service was great, food tasted great, good value for money, would visit again.

Fab place, staff, food, restuarant all lovely, staff really helpful and attentive. Disabled access and lots of free parking Lamb tikka and chicken jaflong - yummy
