Reviews in Swansea

An excellent Indian restaurant. Welcoming staff, pleasant decor and food of a very high standard. In short, a delightful experience.

Eat here! It's as simple as that. The food is always good, (amazing actually), the menu changes frequently, the serving staff are great and pretty switched on and the wine list excellent. We have eaten here way too many times to count and never been in the slightest bit disappointed. The chef is first class and really knows his stuff!! We recommend a lunch time visit to the brasserie - again a really great gastronomic treat and NOT EXPENSIVE AT ALL!! As Nike say, "Just do it".

What a delight a restaurant that really cares about food and the authenticity of its ingredients.I've visited Jamie Olivers restaurant in Bath and Mamma Mia easily compares in quality and value.Why give yor money to a national chain eating place in Wind st when just around the corner there's a real gem!I will return.

good service, good food & reasonably priced, will visit again

Jacka's awesome home cooked dishes at fantastic value for money

Chef puts 100% effort and this place seems to always win awards for their quality of cooking...

Where to start. From the moment you enter the ship & castle you are made to feel welcome. The food is outstanding and of very good quality, there are a number of specials listed on boards around the restaurant area. I was going to be brave and try a man mountain of meat being there 32oz mixed grill but was glad i only had the 16oz one as that nearly beat me superb value for money also they sell decent pints at decent prices. This is a pub i would recommend to all ages

my wife & i go to vivaldis on a regular basis. the food is always 1st class and the service is excellent. a warm italian welcome is guaranteed.

Good home cooked food and very nice traditional surroundings. Warm welcome by staff well worth a visit especially with the new owners. Will definitely return

This restaurant is really great. The food is well presented and really tasty, the service is exceptional and the cost affordable. Top value for money. I have enjoyed both eating in and take-away and would highly recommend this restaurant

totally transformed since I last went about 3 years ago. friendly, smart, excellent food, good choice and not too expensive - intend to try their lunch time special.

I was very disappointed with the service at the Buck inn Pontlliw a few Sunday's ago. The food was fine but the waitresses were clearly too young as they were giggling for most of the time. I found this very intimidating!! I will not be returning there because of this and many others will probably agree with me!! Is there an age limit for teens working in pub/restaurants? Can you let me know as this type of behaviour can't be good for business surely! Thank you for your time Mary Lewis

I'm afraid to say this is NOT a recommendation! Myself and my partner ate in chiquito's on saturday 7th march lunch time and both were taken very ill within an hour of eating! we both had severe stomach cramps and i even had to ring NHS Direct as we were so ill for advice! It seems we may have had food poisoning and its only at your Swansea restaurant we ate that day i'm afraid. MY meal was chicken skewers and I had to return my 1st meal as it came to the table cold to begin with! they did rectify the food and re-heated it for me but when i managed to remove some sauce i did notice small areas that were still red in colour! i just left my meal uneaten after discovering it but it seems i was too late i had obviously ingested some raw chicken while it was cold due to it being smothered in sauce i wouldn't have noticed! my partner ate ribs and chicken breast and was also ill but i was housebound for 2 days all day sat after the meal and Sunday i had to cancel my Sunday lunch appointment to recover as my tummy was still very sore and tender i could only drink water and NOT eat anything at all or i was omitting or tummy upset! by Monday i was better but my weekend was ruined! thank you chiquito for the raw meat thank you for making us both so ill it cost us nearly £40 to take home food poisoning and it wasn't even our faults! we have eaten there a couple of times before this date and always found the meals good and tasty but this time we are unsure whats gone wrong but there is definitely a problem with your cook! We wont bother to eat there again and indeed will avoid ALL companies that has any form of contact with chiquitos full stop! ITs appalling how we were treated even to the degree of the waiter asking me did i want a fresh meal or the old one heated up? is this how you run a business? Im disgusted and upset at the whole event and not even an apology from your head of staff for the cold meal? it was disorganized chaos there it was busy but thats no excuse for cold unhealthy meals to be served! I would formally like to thank your company for the whole weekend of my birthday being destroyed! We shall not bother you again or indeed we shall NEVER recommend you

the best takeaway Indian I've had in Swansea, and at a good price, go here and you go to anyone else,

Had food poisoning for 3 weeks after a meal here. I have heard that it is supposed to be a good Indian but two others in the party had to go to the Doctors for food poisoning - I'll never go again.

Best pub food in the whole of Swansea! The Garlic breaded mushrooms were to die for. Let me tell ew.

We went here as a second choice on new years eve, we were very glad that we could not get any service at our first choice. Service and food were excellent and though busy the cleanliness was first class.

i had an alright meal here, it was okay!!
