One of the nicest curry’s we have had in a long time, asked for authentic style and were not disappointed, the chef was excellent and service was fantastic.

Aftab Restaurant has become a talking point in Ironbridge, with experiences ranging from delightful to disappointing. While many long-time patrons cherish the quality flavors and welcoming service, recent reviews highlight a concerning decline. Diners have reported bland dishes, lack of traditional menus, and poorly presented food, resulting in stomach upsets and dissatisfaction. However, others laud the inviting atmosphere and waitstaff efficiency, praising hearty portions and good value. Despite its troubled reputation, Aftab continues to attract a loyal clientele who remain hopeful for improved culinary experiences in the future.
