Mr Singhs India Gate — Restaurant in Scotland

Exceptional!! I'm from the North West of England and blessed with hundreds, if not thousands of amazing authentic Indian cuisine within 20 miles of home. This place is as good as I've had..... and that's a huge statement! I arrived at 6.30pm on a Tuesday evening after a half mile walk from my hotel after not fancying anything on the hotel menu. The restaurant was very quiet which was a slight concern but was reassured on hearing the phone ringing regularly with take away orders. As it was -1 outside and with rosy cheeks from the cold, I was shown to a table and thanked for braving the elements and offered a free lift back to the hotel - great start!! The menu is comprehensive combining traditional dishes and chefs specials. I opted for the veg Pakoras starter and lamb tikka tandoori main course which came on the sizzling plate, delicious sauce and crispy garlic naan. Both dishes were full of flavour and the lamb was of the highest quality and beautifully cooked. I declined the lift back to the hotel but, at the end, felt compelled to complement the manager on a delightful meal and great service, by which time, the restaurant was half full - not bad for a Tuesday night in mid November. Without doubt, I'd happily...

Overall terrible, greeted by and shown to our table by a waiter who obviously couldn't be bothered, nothing friendly exchanged and spent more time looking out the window whilst taking the order. I thought that the idea of lunchtime menus was as a sample of the food available in the evening all be it smaller portions WRONG! The food was reheated poor quality, rice was a bowl of stuck together gloop, the chicken tikka tandoori was chopped tikka placed on a hot plate of sizzling onions and had the texture of shoe leather the sauce which we had to ask if it came with the dish and no offer of how we'd like it was again a tasteless bowl of gloop, the starter which I forgot to mention mushroom pakora was the smallest tasteless mushrooms I've seen roughly about 5 presented with a tasteless pakora sauce, even although we'd left a lot of food uneaten not once during or after the meal were we asked is the food OK or how was your meal, sorry to say but I'd not be rushing back anytime soon. The restaurant itself was nice but the staff member on entry made for a negative experience instantly and all down hill from there. It the first time ever that we've not left a tip although plenty could have been...

This is a great Indian restaurant. Whilst the exterior looks a bit tired, the interior is well appointed, with plenty of space in the bar waiting area and in the main restaurant room, so you are not over looked when eating.

We booked over the Easter Bank holidays and managed to get a table, and even to change the time a couple of hours before we were due to arrive.

The food was very nice, cooked to a a very good standard and with large portions. We were far from a standard order, but they coped very well with it and we were served very quickly on each course.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered something off menu and they were very happy to oblige.

If you want a great curry at a good value price, you really should give this restaurant a try. We will hopefully be back again when we are next...
