Great food. I've been there three times and we've all been impressed every time with the curries and tandoori dishes. The naan can be a bit dry, but it's still nice. A couple more choices for poppadom dips would be good too - e.g. lime pickle & chili sauce. The only issue with the curries is that they could be hotter. I find the medium ones have no discernible heat, and the hot ones to be quite mild. Even the vindaloo was only a little hot - although it was very tasty. I'm sure you could request them to make the dish hotter, though. The serving sizes are very generous; most people would struggle to manage a starter and a main course, which is kind of a shame. It discourages you from having a starter. Personally, I'd prefer smaller portions at a slightly lower price - not that it's expensive - in fact the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant itself was very nicely laid out and had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The service was flawless, the staff efficient and polite. I hope to go back soon and I'd certainly recommend...
Read moreFirstly, I'm from India and I was traveling when I attended this place. So my review will be a bit biased. Service: I entered the restaurant 10 min after it opened and I was the only person. I don't know what I did wrong but the staff member was just not interested in taking the order. just low energy and enthusiasm. Have some customer service skills Food: serving size was good. The food was average. I wouldn't call it authentic Indian food but that is how close it gets in a small town. I ordered Chicken Tikka Balti. It was good nothing extraordinary. Spice level hot is Indian mild. Just for reference. However the garlic naan was just not right. Were thick and hard with uneven garlic spread (or whatever it was on it). Interior: seats can be better.
If you really wanna eat indian and this is the only shop. It's good. Otherwise, it can do...
Read moreAfter being very excited about trying our new Indian takeaway, the excitement soon evaporated when our order arrived. We were excited after seeing the menu describe the masala as creamy when in fact the sauce was crimson red, tomatoey taste and grainy. We were expecting a creamy, tasty pink sauce encasing the tikka chicken. The pakora was more like a Battered chicken ball that you can get at the Chinese takeaway, we are still looking for the garlic that was meant to be on the naan. On top of this the naan bread were half the size of any regular indian takeaway naan bread we have ever had before. Even the free popadom was overcooked. £30 of a disappointment im afraid which is a shame as we could do with a decent Indian takeaway in the area. We will just have to have a proper one when visiting Edinburgh or go to the Top...
