Indian restaurant
"The Jewel In The Crown" is a quiet restaurant located in the center of Pwllheli, Wales. It offers a lovely dining experience and has a frequently changing menu. The coastal location influences many menus in Pwllheli, with seafood being a prominent feature. The restaurant is part of the wide selection of dining establishments in the area, which includes award-winning fine dining options and family-friendly venues.
Fabulous curry restaurant. With great tasty food, excellent spicy curries and lots of other items. Super service and very helpful owner who talked over the menu with the grandkids and then us. 7 of us really enjoyed all our food and left talking over who had the best curry. Most of us thought theirs was the best. So a very good curry house and highly recommended. All the grand children left clean plates. Now that's a first.

I arrived at the restaurant and noticed something a bit unusual—young children in their nightwear were seated at a table in the dining area while the adults were working. It gave the place a slightly unprofessional feel. The chairs at the table were very wobbly and didn’t seem to be of commercial quality—more like inexpensive home-use chairs, possibly from IKEA. This detracted from the overall dining experience. While reviewing the menu, I noticed two types of prawns offered: king prawns and tiger prawns. I found it odd that the tiger prawns were listed at a lower price than the king prawns, as tiger prawns are generally known to be larger. When I politely raised this with the waiter or possibly the owner, he responded in a condescending manner and joked as if I was confused or uninformed. He claimed that tiger prawns were “very small,” which is inaccurate, and his dismissive attitude came across as quite unprofessional. I was simply trying to clarify a menu inconsistency. That said, the quality of the food itself was good—well-prepared and flavorful. However, it would have been much better if it were served hot and on properly warmed plates or serving dishes, rather than lukewarm. Overall, there’s potential here, but several aspects—service attitude, seating, and food temperature—need improvement to deliver a truly professional dining experience.

Went tonight for my husbands birthday meal. Was absolutely amazing food. We were all very happy. The best curry we have had for a while. The staff were all very good and helpful too. Daughter has a peanut allergy, and we were reassured this was no problem at all.
Kerrie L — Google review
They got the main part right which is the food. All the food was delicious. The curry was full of flavour and the meat was fresh and tasty. No complaints at all. The restaurant itself, however, needs sprucing up. They don't have table cloths on any of the tables and the toilets were extremely shabby. Would be nice if the waiting staff looked the part too as they were all wearing their own clothes rather than a nice uniform as you would usually see in Indian restaurants. All the staff were very friendly though.
Dan P — Google review
We visited the Jewel in the crown tonight as a family of 5. We love a good curry and are often sceptical about trying new places, however we are on holiday so had to take a stab in the dark and they did NOT dissapoint. They were extremely welcoming and fantastic with young children there customer service was outstanding. As food the food it was exceptional! We would highly recommend and hope to come back and visit again in the future!
Chris L — Google review
A lovely restaurant in a charming setting with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We had a fantastic meal as a family of four — the kids loved the variety, and we were impressed most dishes accommodated a fully gluten-free meal. The lamb was incredibly tender and packed with flavour — exactly what you’d hope for from Welsh produce. The Sag Methi Ghust was outstanding — an absolute must-try!
Jonathan D — Google review
Amazing flavour, quick service. One of the best Indian meals we've had. Lamb tikka was tender cooked to perfection. Chicken pakora spicy and well cooked. From the poppadoms and pickle to the main course cannot fault it at all.

This is an authentic Indian restaurant - unlike the other one in nearby. The service is first class and the food is exquisitely crafted and top quality. The Jewel has the typical Indian beers you know and love! I thoroughly recommend The Jewel to all lovers of Indian food.

The Pen Cob - JD Wetherspoon in Pwllheli, Wales offers a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service. Visitors praise the accommodating staff, particularly mentioning Charlotte for going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The food and drinks are described as exceptional, making it a worthwhile visit. With its friendly and quick service, this seaside location provides a perfect spot to relax with coffee or enjoy great value deals.
Great Wetherspoons in a lovely location. Beaches down the road and a seaside town setting. I only gave the food 4 stars as it isn't exactly gourmet/Michelin etc, but we have never had a bad meal served to us here - and we have been a lot over the years. I was drinking a guest ale for less than £2 a pint, while eating a new speciality burger with blue cheese and hot chilli. Mmmmmm. My wife had the Alfredo Pasta with chicken which she said was creamy, tasty and satisfying. We sat outside too and enjoyed the passing of people and a nice atmosphere.

Whenever we go on holiday in the UK, we find ourselves visiting at least one 'Spoons and as options in the town were limited, we were glad to manage to find a table on a extremely busy evening. We did have a wait for our food but free WiFi kept us entertained. Food was as you expect and there is a good varied menu including veggie and childrens choices.
Elizabeth B — Google review
Sat down and a staff member cleaned the table immediately. Even though it was extremely busy the staff are friendly and happy. Food arrived quickly and was good. Coffees were strong how I like it and they had decaff in the machine which was great. My partner had a medium wine for £2.70. Great pub.

We were sitting outside with our dogs and a very polite young man approached our table to advise us that management had asked us to note that no dogs were allowed. Forgive me of my ignorance but we assumed that meant indoors! For goodness sake Weatherspoons get real, this pub is in a holiday location. Our dogs were quiet and well behaved which is exactly what I wouldn't have been if not restrained by my husband. This is my first and last visit to a weatherspoons pub
Elaine F — Google review
Nice and bright inside, with lovely decor. Although the tables were cleared, not all were cleaned which isn't very good. My food arrived quickly and although it was nice enough, it's described as a Mediterranean salad with butternut squash and red peppers as well as the grains, but the red peppers were scarce and there was only one small cube of butternut squash. It also lacked the basil listed on the menu. On a plus side, I really liked the garlic bread; beautifully thin and just enough garlic butter!
Cat M — Google review
It gets extremely busy very quickly, so we asked if we can book a table, but they don't book tables. We came at 6pm hoping for a space. We were about to leave when we spotted one remaining. Ordered food. Food arrived pretty quickly. We all enjoyed it. For four meals, two drinks it was just over £30. Very good price. Although I'm not intolerant as such, I do have health issues where gf is a better option for me, I noticed there are no gf options on the menu, unless there's a different menu that you have to ask for? It's very loud, but atmospheric. Prior going, I checked the reviews and read how the staff are notoriously rude, on this occasion we didn't find that the case. They seemed welcoming. I can understand food arrival times being delayed due to how busy it gets. We are only here for the week and it was our first time eating there so I can only review one experience. Would go again.

Absolutely Fantastic Cod & Chips from Arvonia!! Gorgeous Fresh Fish cooked to order. Crisp Golden Batter & Chips were equally good.. Our first visit here & Arvonia definitely one of the best in this area😋😋 Pricewise it was £23.55 for 2x Cod, 1x Large Chips 1x Peas & 1x Curry
Jerry S — Google review
Really nice fish and chips. The batter wasn't too heavy, and the portion size was generous. I had some bread and butter on the side too, very good. A nice atmosphere and handy that you can sit in. Only lost a star because the hand dryer didn't work in the mens toilets and there was no soap.
Ryan B — Google review
What an excellent fish and chips. Expensive but so worth the money spent that we went twice. The best fish and chips in the area. The family absolutely loved it and called it the best fish and chips they have ever had and they have had good ones before. I agree with them.

Definitely in my top 5 best fish and chips! Staying in Haven Hafan Y Mor and a quick google search brought up Arvonia with some of the best reviews and scores. Went for cod, chips and Irish curry sauce and it was all stunning. Decent portion sizes too. Da Iawn Arvonia. 😃

Always recommend this place as the preferred chippy in Pwllheli. Nice clean oil and normally beautiful light fluffy and slight crisp to chips. Chips wise I got a lot of little crispy bits today so that was disappointing. Fish wise today I got a bit unlucky too. The one after mine was much bigger and had huge crispy waves and looked almost translucent. Really looked good so when I opened mine was a bit disappointed as batter was a bit soft / soggy. But rest assured this is normally better than the other chippy.

One of the nicest sausage and egg butters I've ever had. I only get this way once or twice a year, however it's a compulsory pit stop. Staff are genuinely nice people too, excellent stuff

Hearty menu at reasonable prices in eclectic setting. Informal (dogs welcome) but clean and well kept, with colourful decor on a station theme (breakfasts include 'Ivor', 'The Rocket' and the 'Orient Express').The platform awning makes a sheltered outdoor seating area and the friendly owner even puts out blankets if the weather is chilly. All in all, a great cafe in a lovely part of Wales, especially if you've taken the train here!

Highly recommend! Personal favourite: the Welsh cakes!! This has been my in-laws' favourite cafe for years and we totally see why! Tasty food and generous portions for great prices (top: paninis, bottom right: Welsh rarebit). The cakes are delicious, too! One of the best scones I have had (bottom left), bara brith and brownie. My personal favourite were the Welsh cakes, I had to take some home (together with homemade fudge and a bara brith), they were that good! The staff is very friendly, too. Looking forward to coming again at our next visit to Pwllheli!

I suspect Pili Palas would be a lot better during the high season. Visiting in March - although the weather was great - lacked the atmosphere and experience I think you'd get during the summer. There were a lot of signs saying 'meet the animals' but no opportunity to actually do so whilst we were there. Staff didn't try to engage with guests to speak about the animals and when questioned seemed to know nothing about them. It's a small venue with only a few animals in quite small enclosures - i think the website mentioned about a meerkat tunnel and we couldn't find this. The walk through section with the goats was good although the goats were skittish (and we weren't doing anything to make them so) and the play areas outside are brilliant. Restaurant had limited meal options for adults although kids sandwich box is generous if pricey at £7.50. My 3 Yr old loved the butterfly house and we went round a few times. The whole place was just a bit chilly and deserted to be a truly fun day out. It's also quite pricey to get in - me and my 3yr old cost £25 entry which was a lot for the experience we had.

My wife, my dog and myself visited here while on a little break on the Llyn Peninsula. Having been turned away from the Weather spoons just around the corner for having a dog with us, we were recommended Cafi Sol as they were dog friendly. What we didn't know is how dog friendly they actually are. Before we had even ordered our dog, Jett had fusses from the waiting staff and had two whole sausages cut up for him and presented in a little bowl just for him. He was absolutely in his element. As a human who visits lots of cafes and eateries all over the country, I tolerate a lot for the sake of a good feed. However, if you treat my dog well and welcome him, you're almost guaranteed a five star review. We ordered the large full Welsh breakfast. The presentation and service was impeccable. The staff were lovely to us and our four legged friend and the food was absolutely brilliant. If I'm ever in the area again we will definitely be calling in again. Top notch!

If you're in Phoenix and craving some delicious Chinese takeaway, look no further! This spot has garnered rave reviews for its friendly service and quick turnaround. The staff is incredibly patient and helpful, ensuring your order is taken with care. In just 10 minutes, you can pick up a neatly packed meal that’s both affordable and generous in portion size.
Lady on the phone was patient and helpful when taking my order for the family of 6. She told me it would be ready in 10 minutes, which it definitely was because I got there and it was neatly packed in a box ready for me to take away. Reasonably priced too. I found £50 for what we ordered a nice price. The lady was working alone and full of smiles. Got home and stuck a couple of the dishes in the microwave for a minute (my fault for not getting there quicker) Food was very tasty, we all enjoyed it, Chicken Kung Po was 10/10. Very good, we will return 👌🏽 .

The lady behind the counter was lovely, the place looked very clean, and the food was fast, hot and tasty. The prices are very reasonable and the portions generous.

This is listed as a dog friendly pub that serves food. Facts are they no longer allow dogs, and don't serve food. My partner asked about both, and was answered abruptly "NO" The information on the internet needs changing to reflect that they don't do food, nor allow dogs, to save wasted journeys. Because phoning is pointless, they don't answer when bar is busy.

Well, probably the best pizza I've had all year! Fabulous, cheesy, very fast but well cooked. Crispy and mottled brown underneath - one bite would be giving it a 9.2!!

Ordered a few meals meals for the family on holiday. They left one meal out and had to drive all the way back to get it. Only to have dry chicken kebab and dry donna and hard pitta. If this is decent takeaway food in pwhelli then i feel sorry for the people of pwhelli. Very disappointed

Nothing special about the chicken kebab. Salad was very nice, but the Pita was soggy, chilli sauce wasn't very nice and the cardboard cartons fall to bits on you. Also chips are very expensive for portion size.

We came to Pwllheli on holiday and ordered from PEKISH several times — and every time was a real pleasure! The staff are absolutely lovely, welcoming, and very professional. Every dish we tried was excellent — hot, tasty, and generously served. Their pizzas are absolutely delicious — honestly, one of the best I’ve ever had! The burgers were just as amazing: well-prepared, flavourful, and very filling. We also had the chance to try other items on the menu over the next few days, and once again… not a single disappointment. You can truly feel the passion they put into their cooking — they really have magic hands! I highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation. They truly deserve 5 stars — and more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+++ A huge thank you to the entire team at PEKISH ❤️❤️❤️

Best place for fresh sandwiches, rolls and baguettes in town. Lovely quality bread and fillings. Friendly chatty ladies too with a good sense of humour. We had egg mayo and prawn Marie Rose with some shredded lettuce. Delicious. They have a nice choice of paninis too and breakfast stuff. The coffee is best in town by a mile.

Nestled conveniently near Gimblet Rock Holiday Park, The View Pwllheli is a charming bar and restaurant that boasts stunning vistas of Pwllheli Marina. This delightful spot is perfect for enjoying a refreshing drink, with an impressive selection of beers, spirits, ciders, wines, and soft drinks to choose from. During our sunny weekend getaway, we were thrilled to discover this gem within walking distance. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming—ideal for families and dog lovers alike!
We were fortunate to be holidaying over a lovely warm, sunny weekend and were within walking distance of The View. Beautiful evening to sit outside overlooking the marina. Very friendly bar and obviously very family and dog friendly and great atmosphere. I don't think they do food but seem to have different vendors present at times, and we very much enjoyed the delicious burgers we purchased from Best of Burgers who were there the night we visited.

Seen this had great reviews so Gave it a go. Food is nice all-round and would go back again. Nice simple food that hits the spot , curry sauce is nice but the mushy peas needed some salt.

The food was nice, however the service is shocking. No manners where used in the whole interaction, they where rude, slow and had an attitude. It was the younger two staff a young male and young girl who I found this from. Considering it’s the only chippy open in the area you think you’d have a better experience there. I have now visited twice and had the same experience both times.

We visited on the advice of trip advisor reviews. To say the least, we were very impressed. Que was out the door, which tells its own story. Large que must mean great quality. As said before, quality and portion size and prices were just beyond expectation. Staff friendly and apologetic for the time it took to be served. Chips were fresh and fish was lovely. Kids enjoyed their meals, all eaten up and none to waste. Located near the centre and by the carpark. Also noted there was indoor seating.

Shocking Hospitality…. Shopping in Pwllheli with 7 family & friends. Called in the Mitre Pub to get out of the rain for a quick drink. Ordered drinks at the bar only to be told no children allowed. We had a 2 1/2 year old and a fifteen year old (both were well behaved) as soon as I paid for drinks I was told I can’t have kids in the bar as they ‘don’t sell food’. As far as I know it’s legal for kids to be in a bar with an adult. No signs anywhere saying no kids or dogs or anything either! We were given the choice of standing in the ‘Beer garden’ or stand on the front on the pavement. We said that we’d rather stand on the pavement since people were smoking at the back. Then we were told we can’t take drinks out on the front! I was close to tipping all the drinks in the pavement but we opted to go and stand in the rain with the smokers at the back. Shocking, what century are we living in again!!? I understand it when pubs don’t let kids in on an evening but this was 2pm. It’s no wonder pubs are going out of business…. Doesn’t this place want to make any money?? So if you’re a tourist with kids just don’t bother…. I wouldn’t mind but having the kids with us was a rarity this trip d so this place has just lost the return custom of 10 adults who regularly come to Pwllheli!

Tried this place due to staying locally on holiday, and we're very glad we did. Short drive from the Hafan y Môr Haven site, free parking nearby. The food was a little pricey, but to be fair it was worth it as it tasted fantastic. Our group had a mixture of different curry's and all of us (adults and children) really enjoyed it. The Welsh lamb in my madras especially was beautiful. If we stay at this holiday park again, we will 100% be coming back. Staff were very friendly too!

Situated in a lovely spot in town, very convenient. As a "brand" coffee shop, ad you'd expect, the food and drinks are of the same good quality ad all other Costa shops. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The toilet had needed attention for week's now, and could do with a good and regular clean. I'm sure the manager has requested it's repair, but cleanliness needs attention. The fabric chair's and settees would benefit from daily spraying of fabric freshener as my clothes always smell of cigarettes after visiting.

Some of the best sandwiches/barms I've had, fresh and plenty of filling. Twix brownie was incredible as well, all at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, it all seemed a little unorganised, no direction for queueing and little guidance from staff when people were confused and huddling about.

Hopeless no queuing system waited 20 minutes for a loaf of bread whilst people walked past saying they were in the sandwich queue. Completely ignored walked out. Avoid until they have sort themselves out out

Nana's Pizza & Kebabs is a charming eatery located near the waterfront, offering a delightful array of pizzas, kebabs, and sides. The establishment prides itself on its prompt service, with the option for both delivery and collection. Customers have raved about the delicious pizzas and wings, noting that they were some of the best they've ever had.
I came across this place after reading some great reviews on TripAdvisor and decided to try their pizza. I’m glad I did! The service was excellent ,staff were polite and welcoming. The pizza itself was delicious, full of flavour and freshly made. If you’re in the area near this kebab house, it’s definitely worth stopping by for a bite.

Tried the Nana's kebab that came with lamb, lamb kofta ,chicken and Donna meat and all the meats were juicy and tasty and seasoned well. Only downside was no mild chilli sauce so I had to have hot burning chilli and mayo , but that sauce is very spicy and takes away the meat flavours . The breads that came with it was nice fluffy round naan type and much better than standard pittas you get in other places Would recommend and will be back.

Wow not only was the pizza sublime with freshness, taste and freshly made, but the staff went above and beyond to deliver it! Thank you very much as a traveler looking for a good freshly and tasty takeaway you delivered 10/10. Sandra

Over priced food. Pizza was over cooked and greasy Order over 60 pound work off food just to be told it cash only. Who carry 60 pound nowadays and why tell me after I ordered food. So I said forget it and went somewhere else. If u can't do card payment then dont run a food business

Nestled in Pwllheli, The Bar Eating House is a delightful find for those seeking a dog-friendly dining experience that also caters to gluten-free needs. The welcoming owners go above and beyond, even crafting special meals off the menu for young diners with dietary restrictions. This charming spot may appear unassuming from the outside, but it boasts incredible food and attentive service that will leave you wanting more. Families have raved about their kids actually finishing their meals—an impressive feat!
Great place! We walked around Pwllheli for a long time looking for a Dog Friendly restaurant that also accommodated for Gluten-Free (child). I spoke to the owner, who was really welcoming and even offered to serve us something that wasn't on the menu for our friends 6 year old who was GF. Both the owners were really attentive and welcoming. Our kids ACTUALLY ATE ALL THEIR FOOD ( the first time ever they all cleared their plates!) The food was great, beer tasted crisp and fresh (clean lines) and the owners even offered to make our kids mocktails. They also treated our children with small amounts of Haribo sweets, which kept them on their best behaviour. We were staying at Abererch Sands and this was our last evening before we left, we enjoyed our holiday so much we will definitely be returning and we now have a brilliant place to eat when we do!

Called for a drink, friendly leading us to the table, drinks were expensive and when I went inside to look for the loo the owner was very ‘off’ the place needs a good scrub down. Glad we weren’t eating there after I’d seen the toilet hygiene

Excellent place hidden away a bit; great traditional pub food - the corned beef hash was amazing! The owner couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating for our dog, and gave us a list of other dog friendly establishments to visit in the area. Well worth a visit!

Lovely friendly owners, very helpful recommending good places to eat outside of Pwllheli. Great food, really nice Gammon steak, and lasagne was delicious. Will be returning another night this week. 👍👍

The food was great and the service was exceptional, they are very dog friendly and we were given recommendations of other dog friendly places we can go to during our stay. Very very welcoming and friendly, a lovely experience.

Just wanted to say a special thank you to the kind member of staff who helped us today. The Bar Eating House was fully booked (so book in advance, we certainly will next time), but the lady who helped advise us on other dog friendly places even though she was on her break was lovely. Thanks again x

little hidden gem. Hidden at the side of a large bistro and looking a little run down. The food is amazing, the staff are great and I honestly think we would travel the 3 hours down here just for Sunday lunch. Please don't miss this place if your in the area, we will be returning soon. Just had desert, Welsh ice cream. Brilliant.
