Spicy Garden — Restaurant in Scotland

I’m afraid we can only give this place 2 stars and that’s being generous. We went for the Sunday buffet. I will try and give constructive comments. The food to be fair was ok. Not great but ok. I’m afraid that’s the highlight. Table service was almost non existent. The buffet was chaos. The place was super noisy and the atmosphere unpleasant. The window ledges were covered in dead flies. It makes you think if front of house is so dirty what are the kitchens like? After being seated we waited 20 minutes to be offered a drink. We had to clear our own plates and move them to an empty table in order to start our main course and again to have our desert.

We also had to wait 30 minutes in the restaurant for...

The curry was a bit sweeter than would be expected (I had a balti) but it was perfectly acceptable. Presentation was absolutely perfect - right down to the side salad - and was easily up there with the best I've seen anywhere . Price was about what would be expected. Starter for 2, a couple of curries with nans and a couple of drinks was £50. If you've not tried this particular curry house I would recommend it. It's probably the best in Johnstone and the close...
