Taj Mahal Tandoori — Restaurant in Scotland

An absolute disgrace! We made reservations for the evening a few months ahead at 6.30. We were suddenly requested to come at 5. We told the owner that that was not possible, after some bizarre emails we did arrive a bit earlier than our original plan, around 6, looking forward to a nice evening amongst a group of friends, who also were eating there that night. But we got astonned as immediately we were told to leave within an hour!!! We told that that was unacceptable, and got the reply that it was ok. But it clearly was not... The entrees were put on the table within 5 minutes, the mains immediately after that. Entrees still on the table.... further we were fully ignored. After we finished the main they cleared the table and threw the check on it?!? I have never ever been threated this rude in any restaurant ever. With tears in my eyes we left while our friends came in to enjoy the extend dinner evening... And besides, the place was filthy, lady toilet not working, male toilet dirty and sticky ánd the food was quite bad.. the chicken was extremely dry, the spicy dish was not spicy and all courses were mostly sauce with only a few grams of chicken/prawn. The water was warm and there was no coffee or tea. This place is a disgrace and should be avoided, shame on...

An absolute honest review...

When we arrived at 8.40 pm there was no one in the restaurant. As we entered the waiter could be heard complaining 'I hope that they know we shut at 10.30'. After initially requesting drinks, it took 3 attempts before this was acknowledged. We asked for 14 poppadoms between 7 of us, and the chutney trays that they brought out were virtually empty. They served 2 of our group. Whilst still eating our chutneys the waiter started leaning over members of our party whilst still on appetisers. No 'excuse me', no 'thank you'... Whilst eating mains the waiter kept asking 'are you done yet?'.

I went to the toilet in the last 5 minutes of our visit... when I arrived back the waiter had taken my beer and disposed of it.

Quite possibly the worst service from an Indian takeaway that I have ever experienced. Reading reviews it would appear that I'm not the first to feel this... Time to boycott the place. They don't...

This restaurant is an absolute shambles. 7 of us waited over an hour and a half for any food to reach the table, and even then the food was awful. They were more interested in getting the takeaways out the door than they were of the customers at the tables. One man working front of house, barely understood English, having being asked 3 times for 1 drink I had to point out to him what I was asking for. The service is terrible and the food awful, that is basically the bottom line. Good job it wasn't me paying the bill as I would have told them to take something off due to the appealing service....
