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...

Quite a few things wrong with this place:
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.
Having stayed in Scotland Indian food serves in most restaurants are not authentic but this was half cooked chicken.. saving grace was the dal.
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...
Read moreMe and my Mother was visiting Aviemore for the first time. We enter this Indian restaurant which at the time, was empty and not a staff member in sight. We was waiting for around 5 minutes until I popped my head out the back and said "excuse me can we have some service please". When we finally got served we were dealing with somebody with very little English and at first was struggling to understand "table for two please" and it was very painful trying to order our food. We eventually got our chicken Tikka Masala which was bright red unlike I've seen before and very average tasting. Here is the worst bit... whilst we was eating there were TWO members of staff who came out to the restaurant and was eating with their hands infront of us, not with their finger tips, with their palms! Rolling their food around and stuffing it in their mouth. I understand this may be the traditional way Indian people eat, but you are running a restaurant in the UK, not a street market in Mumbai. At least go into a staff room or somewhere private, not infront of customers. To top it off, it was the most expensive meal of...
