Refa Tandoori

Fantastic staff, and great Baltis at a fair price. Naan breads cooked just right, and decent curry portions. BYO too, so you can bring along your own favourite drinks.

Well what can I say, Very happy with the food and service! Spoke with a man called hamza who was very professional and polite. The food was excellent, very impressed, will definitely be returning.

Recently moved to Melksham and we have now found our new regular Indian restaurant. Tried a few others in the area which were OK but decided tonight to try the Refa Tandoori. My wife and I arrived quite early for a Saturday 5.30pm and requested a table for 2 which they were able to provide for us. Although not a huge place, it already had a few customers seated for meals. The two young men who attended to us were amazing. So professional and friendly ! The menu had all the usual curries etc but there was an amazing section of curries I'd never even heard of - and I've been visiting numerous Indian restaurants for over 40 years. Being it our first visit we decided to order our usual choices in order to make a direct comparison with previously visited restaurants- we always do this to make a fair as possible comparison. The food arrived in good time ( about 15 minutes from ordering time) it was hot and well presented. More importantly- it was very tasty. It was well balanced with the spices and both the chicken and King Prawn was not overcooked - remaining soft and succulent. Although they do not sell beer or wine , one of the young men who served us said I could bring my own next time or if I wanted I could pop to the shop and pick some up - which I did as it was literally a couple of minutes walk away. I will remember to bring my own next time. Let's be fair, if you want to be served a tasty Indian meal, in a cosy homely environment from waiters who are genuinely just so nice, and pay a reasonable price for the privilege...... there is no real reason why you would risk going anywhere else but the Refa Tandoori in Melksham. I usually don't bother with writing reviews but having just arrived home after speding a lovely one and a half hours with my wife at the Refa I felt I really had to write them the 5 star review that they so deserve. Don't just take my word for it- go and experience a great meal for yourself. Enjoy ! I did !! Steve Thomas.

Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and sitting with the air con was great with the heat this summer. Main reason for the review was the Kacha Murgh Vaja. Absolutely phenomenal. Never had it before but it was amazing; meat on its own is great, vegetables were good, but a bit of both on your fork was something incredible.

One meal from our takeaway ruined the evening as the worst parts of the chicken (fatty neve/grizzle) how can any so called chef think that putting the bits of chicken normally saved for the bin onto a main course. It’s a shame because other parts of the takeaway were ok. Sadly I will never use or refer the Refa tandoori to anyone again! This was our first time ordering for over 5 yrs due to the last takeaway falling short. We had hoped it had changed but afraid not!!

Very nice food dined in with friends big portions and staff were second to none.

A great restaurant. Have been here many times over the years. Recently had the Kurzi Lamb House Special. A fantastic meal for a special occasion. Also probably the nicest and friendliest owner and staff you will come across. Highly recommend.

Fantastic restaurant, staff were brilliant as always, food was perfect
