Spice Tandoori Wick — Restaurant in Scotland

Walking into the red velveteen confines of spice tandoori was like walking into a David Lynch film. There was no music playing, no one in there on a Thursday night and a general atmosphere of dread pervading the place. Our waiter, Imran, asked us to review the restaurant before we’d even sat down, which set alarm bells ringing. We were then badgered for more reviews by the staff, and hassled and harried to choose our food quickly because apparently ‘it needed time to cook’, which left us baffled. As we were chowing down on (very decent) poppadoms and a generous pickle tray (which we later discovered as a separate item on the bill) we witnessed an argument between a customer of Eastern European extraction and one of the waiters. Imran dutifully came over to us and assured us it was all a misunderstanding over a bottle of kingfisher, and that we should still give tandoori spice a good review. The food eventually came, and it was fairly decent. Butter chicken was passable, and the Dahnsak passed muster. We ate it under the watchful gaze of Imran and his co-conspirators who asked us if we were enjoying our meal between every bite. We felt like prisoners in the panopticon eating our death row meal.

We paid up (overpriced) and got the hell out of there, Imran’s request for a review ringing in our...

I was on holiday near by and ordered food to take out, when I got there the guy was rude. Also the food is not Indian it’s Bangladeshi. There is nothing to be ashamed of Bangladeshi food, it’s just different but most brits can’t tell the difference so they get by selling it as Indian food. And by the way food colouring is not an ingredient in Indian or Bangladeshi cosine. If the food looks too red don’t eat it it’s not good for you, the closest thing to food colour in Indian food is turmeric and it’s yellow.

That was a few days ago then, today I did a google search to find an Indian restaurant nearby and only these guys are in the area so I checked the opening times on google it says 11am to 10pm so I called to confirm, the guy on the other end was rude and told me it was closed, I tried to help and said “on google it is saying it’s open” so that they know and update the information. The guy was rude again and told me to check on the website. Then he came to his senses and asked me if I’m going to place an order. Of course I didn’t because I may run into him at the restaurant. Some business should chose their employees better. It’s probably still open because there is no other option...

Not 1 star as the food can be decent. Been going here for years, mainly due to lack of options rather than it being a quality establishment however my most recent visit made my mind up. Our table ordered starters and mains, we waited well over 40 minutes for our starters only to be presented with our mains, the server seemed unwilling to correct this and questioned whether we had ordered starters at all! Only to make the situation uncomfortable enough to make us feel pressured into skipping starters. I would not have minded so much if the portion size was not so small we all left feeling unsatisfied. I'd usually excuse this however it's only the latest incident in a long line of examples of poor customer service, rarely are you asked if the table would like drinks or anything else and let me assure you it's not because they are busy! Instead the staff glare at you...
