Shocked to discover that the pickle tray is charged PER PERSON. That adds an extra 1per person to the bill as well paying 1 per popadum. For a party of six it costs 12.00 for one popadum each. A costly start to a meal!!!

My curry cost 12.00. This appeared on the menu as simply 12
This is as naff as jenga piled chips. The mango chutney tasted like one from tescos with added water. By now I was almost looking forward to writing a scathing revue about the curry.... but it was excellent. Personally I wanted more sauce, and the prawns were a few seconds over, but the balance of the dish was very much there, and this place achieved the rare trick of bistro style fusion with the classic tandoori. A good meal, but pound signs please AND don't put water in the mango chutney.

Long wait for food. My lamb briyani is very bland and tasteless. Same as the vegetable curry. Quite pricey for the poor quality of food.

I was away for a few days break and chose here for one of our evening meals. The food was outstanding, so tasty and full of flavour. Service was good and the interior design was pleasant. A great evening and therefore would definitely recommend.

1 STAR IS TOO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW !!! Where do I begin! This must be the worst Indian meal I have ever had , absolutely disgusting. Waited 1hr and 1/2 for food, for it then to arrive cold. All of the curry dishes were bland, runny, and tasteless with hardly any meat in it. Onion bhajis full of grease, nan breads very small and thin like Frisbees. The poppadoms arrived in bits along with the tester size pots of condiments, not enough for 1 person let alone 4. Extremely over priced for what it was. I will not be ordering from here again so Light Of Asia have lost a local regular customer and

Really good curry house. Stopped here while visiting Aber on a Saturday. It was very busy (always a good sign). Quite a small establishment, but very efficiently run by the many staff who were on hand. All very polite and friendly. Highly recommend the Balti, although verging on the spicier side we luckily kept the dips which took the edge off. My only criticism would be the chips that we ordered, despite clearly being listed as "chips" they turned out to be French Fries (weird!). Two curries with chips, 4 poppadoms, tray of dips and two glasses of orange juice came out to 40. Would visit
