Agra Restaurant

Traditional and cosy Indian restaurant on North Parade, with a typical menu and the option to take-away too.

In the early 2000s, the Agra was popular enough to give birth to an overflow restaurant, the Agra Fort, a street away. It's seen changes since then, but remains popular with many.

• "Lamb rogan was the worst I have ever eaten and that's after waiting 45 mins for it there was only one other table being used at the time and they had already eaten will not be going back as the waiter/manager had real attitude problems with time." - Steve, Aug 2012
• "Food decent. Wait and waiter awful. Table of 10 booked in at 7:00. Ate at 9. No apology offered, discount of £5 given. According to the manager boiled rice is the same as pilau rice. It's not. Waiter had no idea what was in the special rice. Poor service all round. A real shame as I remember it being great and no delays. Book when quiet, not geared up for a Saturday night." - Colin, Jul 2012
• "Have had a couple of takeaways here and last week dined in the restaraunt. The takeaways were excellent hence the sit down meal. Again no complaints other than the service is a little slow, that said if the company is good who cares. A nice idea they have is bring your own wine! The curries and starters were excellent. I had a vindaloo and as was wanted it was hot! I've had hotter but I was 20 years younger. Plenty of meat in both our curries, my wife had the dopiaza and overall we were satisfied and will return. Don't bother with their sweets at the end of the meal, chewy and not that pleasant, took me right back to the fifties when I thought they were great. How times change. Thanks Agra." - Gareth and Irene Noakes, Jun 2012
• "I had a takeaway from here a few weeks back. The takeaway service is quite slow and needs some improvement (other people have also commented on the service side). Having said that, the food was tasty, and I think it was worth the wait on that particular day (I was starving so wasn't disappointed when I got home!) I will be back at Agra soon. However, if I do decide to have a takeaway, I will order my food by telephoning well in advance! The food is too good to miss and worth a try in my opinion!" - Lucy, May 2012
• "Agra restaurant is the best restaurant ever in Aberystwyth. I have noticed that they have recently been awarded a hygiene rating of 4 (out of a maximum of 5). I also cannot understand some of the negative comments made on here. I ate inside the restaurant today with my partner. For the starter, I opted for the prawn puree whilst my other half opted for vegetable samosa. The presentation on our plate was good and the starters themselves did not disappoint! The prawns were succulent and the thin bread (puri) was soft and light. I thought that the sauce complemented the prawns perfectly (not too spicy and not too mild). My partner said that the her samosas were piping hot and delicious. As for the main dish I had Balti Chicken Tikka and this was also beautiful. The dish consisted of green peppers and onions, with cubed pieces of chicken tikka. My partner had Lamb Tikka Rezala and was very happy indeed. We also ordered a pilau rice and a vegetable fried rice. As for the sides, we decided to sample the bombay potatoes and plain naan bread. We were both surprised that the bill came to a total of under £40. The food is definitely value for money and we will visit again! The waiter was very pleasant to talk to and was able to recommend some dishes to us from the start. We have taken their takeaway menu with us as well as some more for our friends. Will be back soon, keep up the good work!" - Thomas, May 2012
• "We ate here several months ago. We have never been back and never will. The service was appalling. The waiters were obviously stressed, and could not cope with the number of diners. I had to ask twice for someone to come and take our order. We eventually waited 50 minutes for our order to be taken. It then took another 50 minutes for our food to arrive, and when it did, the order was wrong! However, we were far too frustrated and hungry to ask them to put it right. The food was awful - one of the worst curries I have ever had and, living in the West Midlands, I have eaten lots and lots of excellent curries, so I know a good curry. The waiters were rude and unconcerned when I complained. While we were there, the waiters actually asked one family to move tables half-way through their meal so that they could accommodate a party booking which they had forgotten about! Avoid at all costs - at least until the service and food show a vast improvement." - Lyn, Feb 2012
• "Never had any problems with Agra, one of the best Indian takeaways I have ever had (others in Aber are very hit and miss!), lovely food, lovely people. Will continue going." - LG, Jan 2012
• "Had a lovely meal at Agra twice and going again soon! The staff are very pleasant and the food was also great." - Rachel and Gez, Dec 2011
• "A bad mistake six of us went to eat in the resturant and waited a while for our food two of us ordered the korma it was awful like watery soup and the drinks were flat. It was too expensive for what it, was will never go there again." - Louise Crosthwaite, Oct 2011
• "Rude, careless waiter who messed up our order twice; we had to wait around an hour for our food (and it wasn't even that busy in the restaurant). The food itself was not tasty. I do not recommend this place. I definitely won't be coming back there." - Anna, Sep 2011
