Shilam Tandori (machynlleth)

I was apprehensive about here due to the number of negative reviews however, Shilam was a treat and the curry was delicious. Not a lot of meat but not so little it is worth being upset over, hence the 4 stars. The waiter was amazingly attentive and our food came quickly. I got the lamb madras which was hotter than I thought (in a good way), rich and the lamb was lovely and tender. My partner got the chicken balti which was also lovely however the chicken was a little tough and the plate arrived with some fluff/hair? On the side but nothing near the food so again no complaints. The naan was great and you could taste the coconut in this one! All in all, far better than I anticipated and definitely worth a visit. I have lived in Cardiff in the last 4 years and Shilam could easily compete there! All of the issues would probably be resolved by having more staff however everywhere around here is suffering staff shortages so in terms of wait times during peak, set your expectations. 8/10 will definitely recommend to friends staying in the area.

What a treasure, my brother suggested this place for our last dinner on our Welsh holiday and I couldn't imagine a better place to finish it. The food is amazing, tasty, and fast. The kind of Indian that's spicy but not hot. You can taste the care cooked in it. The staff are friendly and patient when you have questions. Highly recommend getting the poppadoms and pickle tray as a pre starter!!
