Established in 1976, the long-running Koh-I-Noor Tandoori Restaurant in Newport is an award-winning Bangladeshi and Indian eatery with lots to attract both repeat customers and brand new ones. Specialists in traditional Indian, Bangladeshi, balti and tandoori recipes, fresh ingredients are manipulated by the restaurant’s chefs. Skilled in the art of home-style Indian cookery, mouth-watering authentic dishes are created for the delight of patrons.
Representing all that is good, honest and delectable about India’s diverse gastronomy, starters of shami kebab; mutton tikka, and tandoori fish are certain to ignite the saliva glands. Whilst remaining true to their authentic Indian culinary heritage, at the same time the Koh-I-Noor pays respectful homage to its locale as a delightful dish of Welsh lamb chilli masalah illustrates. Presented amongst the many mains is lobster summerkand. Or maybe instead one of chef’s recommended balti dishes, of which there are many, will ring your culinary bell. With tandoori dishes aplenty, there are also lots of curry dishes too, ranging from spicy hot Ceylon to the modest and mild creamy korma. The Koh-I-Noor seemingly has it all, with additional favourites such as dupiaza, biryani, bhuna, Persian and pulaw presented for deliberation. Fruity desserts provide a refreshing and palate-cleansing end to the meal, whilst a traditional Bangladeshi tea adds authenticity to the dining experience.

Great food is supported by great service, and a friendly team help create a relaxed dining experience in convivial surroundings.
