Light of Asia

Excellent, spotlessly clean, amazing food, staff extremely friendly, would definitely recommend a good place to eat

Worst restaurant.
Misleading google reviews took us to this place.

1) Service : Not fit to be in hospitality industry. Rude staff and also racial. If they don’t have the capacity to run a restaurant, they should shut it down instead of spoiling dinning experience. I haven’t come across any “waiter” till now my entire life scream at customer/s for asking to take order. Felt really awkward.
Next, we order how much we can eat. Here we were forced to order another main dish just to meet their quote in the name of supporting small business to offer service.

2) Food : Not fresh. Not hygienic. Not healthy. Not Asian. No taste. If a chef doesn’t know on how to use food colour, the restaurant is a “flop”.
Not sure how they managed to get “license” to run a restaurant when basics aren’t in place. I just couldn’t eat anything. Felt guilty over the amount of food that went into bin.

3) Ambience : Heaters not working. We were seated near door entrance and the chill wind rushed in each time the door opened.
We choose a restaurant to keep us warm and cosy but here we ended up freezing.
They had space to accommodate customers in a better seating area, however they declined saying they have shortage of staff. Comfort of customer/s isn’t important for them. We are from sub tropics and it was more than just comfort for us.
Shortage of staff is ok but drying wet plates before serving us isn’t. And the tea towels used by them to dry looked “yuck”.
We family members ended up in argument if we should continue dinning here. If I was dinning solo, I could have left this place instantly.
This place ruined our wonderful experience leaving bitterness in us. We got stuck with this place as they mention “Indian food” and we had to continue.

4) Price: Overpriced.
They have kept prices on menu look reasonable but when the food arrives, we felt looted.

5) Reviews: Not sure if the “reviews” about this place are genuine on google.
Anyone having common sense will never rate them above 1.
There is nothing Asian and Indian about the food. Name of the restaurant is misleading like the google reviews.
Avoid.

Great staff and very helpful when we were ordering as I think we were going to order way too much. Very tasty food and plenty for us to try different dishes and still have some left over which we took home.
Not too busy for a Friday night either although recommend booking in advance.

Worst Indian restaurant I've ever been to. Not only was the food rubbish, but we were also overcharged, when I returned to notify them of the mistake, they flatelly refused to reimburse the overcharged amount, despite one of their own staff admitting that there had been a mistake!! Having used my card at this establishment I also got my bank contacting me about a potential fraud attempt. So be careful.

When we reached the restaurant, the waiter told us that you don't have reservations and you can't sit on that particular table, however when a family of 3 came after 10 minutes and they also didn't have reservations and they also asked that particular table, then that particular table got available, because the waiter thought that they would spend more. Till that time only 2 tables were occupied and that family was the third table, the rest of the restaurant was empty. I am from India and thought that lets explore indian cuisine in aberyswith. We literally walked 2 miles in cold for the experience, but it was not worth it. All the Food was made in the same tomato based gravy and the main waiter was overconfident,but not courtues. The overall experience was bad, mainly due to table incidents. I know we didn't have a booking, so we were ready to sit on any table and eventually we sat, which was offered, but we had a British guest with us and he also pointed out the same thing that the waiter is treating us differently and denied that particular table, this is how Indian restaurants treat people in India.

I am an Indian , I give everyone this assurance that ,whatever food has been served in this restaurant is not indian (except the names of dishes)
And I went with 2 of my friends ,as I insisted them ,to have some indian food, but everything went worst , as they felt unwelcome. When we entered only 1 table was occupied and few were reserved , so were sat on unreserved table , that was ok , I can understand this thing as we also work in a hotel/restaurant. But what we saw after sometime 10-15 min later ,that a family came in, they asked the server that they wanted to sit on a particular reserved table, and I was shocked he didn't deny to them.
Really pathetic experience.

Been here on two occasions. Staff run around frantically with walkie talkies, mix up orders, bicker with each other in front of customers. I had waited over an hour for food both times. They evidently prioritize deliveries.

Place just looks and feels like a glorified takeaway. Food is decent though and at a good price.

We tried this indian place as it was highly recommended by trip adviser as the number 1 indian restaurant in the area - however were bitterly disappointed. Portions of curry were really small, little amounts of meat/chicken, flavourless. Prices were extremely high end in comparison to the poor decor of the shop. We ended up buying fish & chips from the shop opposite afterwards!
