Tamanna Indian — Restaurant in Scotland

We have visited this restaurant a couple of times now so thought best to review as they do seem to get some quite bad submissions. Firstly the pros:- staff are friendly, food is delicious especially the curry’s, we had popadums with mixed condiments, starters, curry’s for mains with rice and bread and the children some ice cream for dessert. As for the negatives which are only really minor but worth a mention:- staff go into auto mode when you walk in, someone seats you, another is the popadum salesman, then another takes your order and yes yet another serves you, no consistency. Portion wise, the curry’s were substantial however nann bread was very small. Also the price is partly in the high side due to portion size of the sides and things like a bottle of Cobra being £6.50. All in all a nice experience and tasty curries.

Unfortunately since my last visit I have had to make an addition to my review and amend the rating. We were a party of 8 with 6 of our curries very bland, unseasoned and lacking any spice whatsoever ever though upon ordering, we asked for our dishes to be extra hot. The curries were vindaloo, South Indian garlic chilli dishes that should have been hot as standard yet even after requesting extra heat. When we informed the staff on more than one occasion the waiters just seemed to giggle and say, “ooh you like spicy, yes?” We asked for chopped chilli’s and chilli flakes which we got but yet still not acknowledgment.

I am sorry but won’t...

We has visited this place for a meal in one of our recent escapades in Aviemore

Quite a few things wrong with this place:

1. The person attending to us was absolutely rude and borderline racist. As an Indian, the last thing I expected was this behavior in an Indian restaraunt..Ironically there was a lovely lady in the team who was very nice but the partially bald fella and the bearded server with him were plain rude.

2. Having stayed in Scotland Indian food serves in most restaurants are not authentic but this was half cooked chicken.. saving grace was the dal.

3. I was there with 2 other families. I have wee ones that needed the nappy change.. when I asked where I can change the nappy, the same head server ( baldy fella) was very rude.

No offense to other folks giving good reviews.. but simple thing that I got out is that they dnt knw the taste of good Indian food..so whatever sweet version this very poor restaurant serves is considered good.

Being from India, I take a personal offense because one of the most basic and most important thing taught in our culture is service and being rude is totally against it.

Anyone looking for Indian food while in Aviemore.. take a 40 min drive to Tiger on the wall in Inverness.. you’ll get to know what the real Indian meal and authentic...

We had high hopes going for dinner here after having a few local drinks. That soon changed pretty rapidly when we realised we had walked into a tourist trap with no standards of service or manners.

Staff attitudes were pretty bad when the price is well over the top for mediocre Indian food at best.

2 curries, 2 rice, 1 naan and 2 drinks £70

Food was pretty good but I am struggling to say anything more positive.

Raised a question when paying the bill at the cost for the waiter to start talking in another language to what looked to be the owner about me.

There is a nice helpful Scottish girl working there which is the only positive thing I can find to say.

No goodbye, have a good night or thanks for coming when leaving a pretty much empty restaurant.

Service is terrible and when we do return to Aviemore for a break, we will 100% not be going to Tamanna Indian.

That is the first time in a long time I have walked out a restaurant feeling pretty pee’d off with ourselves giving them our...
