Reviews summary

Aahar has garnered a reputation for its extensive menu and vibrant atmosphere, leaving many diners satisfied with flavorful dishes and attentive service. Guests often rave about the tender, well-spiced meats and generous portions, particularly enjoying favorites like saag paneer and chicken shashlik.

Food is always delicious and staff always amazing. But please, go back to proper chips rather than fries. This doesn't take away from how amazing the food is though. View all feedback.

What Pnina B dislikes about Aahar:

Terrible experience. Food was uneatable, the meat hard and overdried in all the 6 dishes we ordered. Like shoe soles. The sevice got loud and aggresive when we complained about the food. It was so terrible in every aspect, that the mood for the proposal, that was planned there, was postponed to another day and onother place. Very disappointing! View all feedback.

The food is fantastic, the service is excellent, and it's even better when enjoyed with a wonderful group of friends.

Always great food. Staff very attentive and give great service. Warm plates, hand towels, taking away finished plates. Little details you don't get anywhere else anymore

I have ordered takeout from this restaurant twice, and both times the curries were of excellent quality and had delicious flavors.

Went to Aahar for a meal with a party of 5 and most of the meal was enjoyable.However my tandoori starter was really bland and very overcooked which I informed them of.Asked for chicken kolapuri but unfortunately it came as chicken tikka kolapuri and it was very salty.It stated on the menu that the chicken was marinated but I didn’t think it meant chicken tikka which I don’t like in a curry but this was probably my mistake.Overall certainly not as good as previous visits at all.

Been a couple times to sit down, plus a few takeaways. Service is always top class, polite and timely. Food is VERY nice, hot, fresh and loaded with flavour. Portion sizes are perfect too. By far the best in the area out of all the ones we've been too. They are a v.small amout pricier than some others, but it's worth it. Also, you know how popular a business is when their restaurant is packed out, like it was yesterday. Solid 9.5/10 imo.

Abdul and Akhter are simply the best team, carefully looking after each and every one of there diners. We go every week with a very welcomed service The food is so well presented and freshly cooked, we always enjoy our meal and the atmosphere that the restaurant creates. We highly recommend to anyone who enjoys the finest Indian cuisine.

First time visiting Pontypoole and had read online that this was the best rated Indian around. Upon arriving, the staff who seated us was incredibly rude. He already seemed very unhappy to be seating us. Then he scolded my mum who wanted to start ordering mains straight away when he wanted to take our drinks order. We've never seen someone treat customers like that let alone experience it ourselves. We decided to leave before ordering.

Food is always brilliant, but doesn't get 5 stars because the parking is poor, and they don't take American Express. the
