3idiots Troon Tapas in South Ayrshire

4 of us went on a Saturday night The food was excellent especially the main meals Value was ok. We had starters, main course and a few beers for £40 per head The whole experience was spoiled by a totally disinterested staff. Right from the moment we arrived until we left. They were slow. Didn’t attend to our very modest requests for them to give us basics like cutlery and napkins It may be great for a carry out but none of us will bother returning for a meal

As a fan of 3idiots in Ayr, we thought we’d try the new Troon restaurant. On arrival, after standing about at the door, we interrupted a couple of staff at the bar to say we had a booking, told to go and find a free table, which we eventually did in the busy restaurant. Waited a few minutes more to be brought menus, then a good while longer for our order to be taken. Our starters, followed by our mains came pretty sharp, and food was amazing, as expected 3idiots standard of food. We’d decided we wanted to order a couple more drinks after the meal, a mango lasi and a liquor coffee, the girl clearing the tables said she’d come back to take the order. After 15 mins waiting, and unable to get anyone’s attention when they walked by, when we finally did, we decided just to give up and settle the bill. The restaurant was fairly quiet by now. I did try and leave a 10% tip, regardless of the poor service, told I couldn’t add it to the card payment. I then asked if she could split a £10 into 2 x £5, she wasn’t sure if that was allowed, but we eventually managed to force a tip to them. Very strange. Anyway, food was amazing. Service was poor and unfriendly, think we’ll stick to Ayr from now on.

If you are not accepting card payment tell us in advance We had a beautiful meal, we could not fault the food or the service until it was time to leave We asked for the bill we sat our card on the table only to be told “ the card machine was broken “ “ again??? “ this is not the first time we have been told this is in this restaurant!! We asked why we had not been told upon booking or upon entry. Shoulders were shrugged and we were told there was a cash machine nearby 1: there isn’t 2: the one there is charges to withdraw cash 3: it was pouring Totally unacceptable ( for the record upon checking later they had called the number used to book but left no message - useless ) Sorry but simply not good enough in this day and age. Either get a new card provider if your machine is this unreliable or be honest when customers arrive and state that , for whatever reason, you are only taking cash We would have gone elsewhere as a matter of principle F

Great venue, great food, great service, however, when we sat down we were told “oh by the way, it’s cash only, hope that’s okay” Well actually it’s not okay and the nearest non charging cash point is at Morrisons

Had heard good things about 3idiots and as we were going to event in Troon decided to book a table for dinner at 3idiots. Booked well in advance, confirmation received and was looking forward to meal. On arrival at 6pm on a Saturday night restaurant wasn’t busy. Adviced waitress we had reservation which was checked and was then told it was cash only. I had intended on paying with debit card and didn’t have enough cash on me so was directed to 2 cash machines (1 at Morrisons that had to be driven to & 1 outside a store that charged £1.55 to withdraw) had we been advised that it was cash only prior to standing in restaurant at the time of our booking then this would not have been an issue but there is no mention of this on website, booking confirmation or anywhere else that I can see. Told them we didn’t want the table and left, we weren’t about to go running about looking for a working cash machine, put a complete dampener on our evening and we ended up going for a take away that happened to take debit card!!!

Pleased to find that the restaurant had just started opening for Sunday lunch. The lady serving us couldn’t be nicer and more helpful. Food was terrific again and our little granddaughter was very impressed! Can’t recommend the lamb chops too highly …..

Had wanted to come here for a while but usually does not open till 4.00pm. However they are currently trying opening at lunchtime on weekends so took our chance and we were not disappointed. Food was absolutely wonderful and Sam, our waitress was friendly, attentive and lovely. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later

What a wonderful evening my family had to celebrate a 70th Birthday, we don’t get the chance to meet up very often so it was a special occasion. I think it was Sam who greeted us and looked after us for the evening. What a lovely person, she was fantastic. When we arrived at our table they had put a birthday banner up and decorated the table. That was such a lovely gesture. The food was amazing, every dish has its own unique flavour and everyone enjoyed their meal. Thank you so much for making it a night to remember

Lovely meal with lots of flavour. We had the festive menu, which was great value for money. Fantastic service provided by Sam.

5 family members out for dinner on a sunday night so quiet . Tried the tapas menu again choosing 10 for the 5 of us. Food was delicious and great for sharing. Ideal portion size. Service by Sam was great ; very efficient , friendly and informative. Highly recommend the 3 idiots each occasion the food has been delicious.

We visited here for the first time for our Christmas lunch catch up, the food was delicious as always ( we usually go to the Ayr restaurant) our server Sam was lovely, very attentive. The restaurant is located in an excellent location in the heart of Troon the decor in the restaurant is lovely - decorated to a very high standard and spotless clean. We look forward to going back here very soon I highly recommend this place if you like a good quality Indian meal. Very well done to this restaurant ownerwe were very impressed.

Staying local for an overnight and looked at local reviews ! This restaurant stood out on both food and service - and we experienced that first hand ! From recommendations on dishes and quantity Sam was a delight to interact with ! The food is amazing and the service the same ! If you’re in Troon - go here !!! Vegetarians very well catered for ! The coriander and chilli naan is mind blowing !!

Great food and excellent service from Sam. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner

Fabulous to have 3 Idiots open for lunch during December. We had wonderful food and lovely conversation and service from Sam. Great value for money too.

Lovely food and restaurant. Staff couldn’t do enough for us (thank you Sam). Don’t be fooled by the name, if I didn’t live 200 miles away, I would be there every week.

Great service by Sam all night very polite and accommodating. Food was of a high quality and tasty! Asked for another portion of lamb and was quickly added to the table.

First time visit for us and definitely won’t be the last.We liked the tapas concept. My wife is not a huge curry fan (normally Korma, Korma or Korma for her) however she absolutely loved every dish we tried .Lamb saag, butter chicken,aloo gobi and prawn...

One of the best places to have dinner with friends…!! Great service nd perfect atmosphere to spend a evening…!! Will definitely go back…!!

We visited on Saturday Evening. Restaurant was very busy. Service was great, food was amazing. Highly recommend Tapas Menu.

Amazing food and great service! Very hot & spicy dishes, decent portion sizes and probably the best peshwari I’ve ever had! We will be back!

Having been going to Indian restaurant for around 45 years across the UK, the food in this one would be right up there - it really was that good. The service was great too, all very reasonably priced, and the owner a lovely guy who...

Went once due to positive reviews. Would never go back. Food was luke warm, slow/poor service, bad attitude from owners, unhygienic (a pubic hair was found) , unsafe environment (sat next to a draughty fire exit). Do not recommend

Ordered a take away as heard great things. Driver was very nice but couldn’t find my address I’m on the main road in to the estate my house number is clearly displayed? Food cold on arrival. Pakora was fine Nan fine but the chicken korma...

This is the best Indian meal I have had in such a long time, highly recommend the Tapas menu, our beautiful waitress Sam was so friendly and attentive, lovely atmosphere *****

We went to have dinner and to try the tapas menu as we had previously had take out. We were not disappointed, the staff were attentive, five stars to the chefs as the food was amazing and even my 12yr old tried and enjoyed several...

Was recommended to go to 3idiots in Troon by a local and it didn’t disappoint. Food was so tasty - great service - and definitely the best Peshwari Nan ever and I’ve eaten plenty of them !!!

There were six of us. We had the tapas menu rather than the a la carte. Everything was very good. The saag aloo dhosa was fantastic as was the as was the chicken Achari and chicken chasni. Service was excellent. This is in the running...

Booked table 30 min prior to arrival , no record when we arrived , anyway got a seat and we sat , and sat , for 25 min had to ask for menu , no drink order taken and other tables coming in after us...

Indian tapas it is so good staff are helpful and friendly haven't been dissappinted so far can't get enough

Let me set the scene, Quiet Sunday night with only 2 other diners booked. The service was clunky at best, awkward at worst. We ordered 2 starters, 2 mains and naan. Do you want the starters first? Well the clue is in the title! We...

We have been to the 3 Idiots several times now and each time has been a delight. The food is fabulous and the staff extremely pleasant. Well worth a visit if you are in Troon or Ayr.

I booked a table a week before I was going and the day that I was going they tried to reschedule my reservation to another time stating it was busy at that time. I told them where they could stick it, they phoned me back...

Went with my wife on Saturday meal was excellent waiter was very helpful restaurant very nice hope they could bring the restaurant in Ayr up to this standard

Was not over impressed with this restaurant. The whole ambiance is a bit claustrophobic with all these artificial leaves hanging down. The service was quite chaotic and slow and the food ok. The pakora was a bit greasy and sauce very basic. All I can...

Second visit here. Again fabulous food but absolutely shocking service. Very quick to take drinks order then waited ages for food order to be taken - actually had to ask someone to take our order. Wrong bottle of wine opened and delivered to table. Food...

We visited 3idiots Troon following a recommendation. When we arrived we were seated immediately by a friendly waiter. As Indian tapas is quite unusual we decided to try this to give us a chance of a mixed selection of food. We ordered poppadoms with spiced...

Very good taste. Portions can be bigger. For example Chefs plate for 3 is for that price to less food. Timing could be improved. Very friendly staff!

A great evening at this terrific Indian tapas restaurant. The guys couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating and they even let us use their Spotify account to play our favourite songs. The food was simply outstanding and we’ll definitely be back again next year...

As experienced curry fiends four of us booked a table on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was busy and from the outset the gents who served us were fantastic. As advised we ordered 8 dishes between us. The haggis Pakora was probably the best I...

Lovely food with it being Indian Tapas even got to try a few dishes I had never tried before. The only dish that wasn't great was the pashwari naan, it felt precooked/shop bought and not fresh as it was hard and not soft and doughy....

Fantastic, friendly service, cosy atmosphere, food was amazing. Loved the tapas plates as I could try various dishes. Best naan bread! I’ll be back!

The wife and I went here for a Sunday meal, absolutely fantastic service, food was cooked very fresh and was full of flavour. Will definitely be back again.

Best tasting indian I have had. Fish machali and south indian lamb tapas. 1 rice and 1 nan. Very stuffed and very satisfied. I willbe back

Wow, food and service were just amazing. Lots of dishes to choose from. Really like the tapas idea Would highly recommend.

Had friends visit from America. Food was lovely, beautiful decor and very friendly staff. Definitely be back there again.

Food was delicious one of the best meals I have had, love the tapas concept. Staff were all very friendly and attentive and good value for money. Only complaint is the online booking system as you can’t select a specific time it’s block times e.g...

Fantastic menu, food was great, tapas menu perfect portions and service was excellent! Will be back!!!

Me and a friend had chosen to try this seeing it had won curry awards and were very disappointed. Upon coming in we were greeted and the gentleman was very nice sat us down and asked if we wanted poppadoms and spiced onions as standard...

Heard about this restaurant from previous diners. Made a reservation and from start to finish it was an amazing food experience. The following members of staff were so welcoming and attentive during our visit. They are all great ambassadors for the company…Caitlin, Millie, Emily, Taha...

I first visited the week it opened in September last year and popped in again last week. It's been upgraded inside as you'll see from the 'hanging flowers' photo and is a really nice place to sit. I didn't go for the tapas this time,...

We were staying in Troon on our way to Arran and decided to try 3idiots based on TripAdvisor reviews. So glad we did. The tapas concept is great as it means you can enjoy more dishes than in traditional Indian restaurants. We had four tapas...

Visited last night for dinner with family from Canada. Great food lots of small sized portions had a selection of 12 dishes between 7 of us.Everyone got to try a variety of food instead of only having one thing. The service from Ali was excellent...

Here’s what you need to do… listen carefully! We were staying in Troon for the Ladies Scottish Open so went on the hunt for a good curry. We found the 3 Idiots (great name!) on Trip Advisor and walked in without a booking. Based on...

Visited this restaurant on Sunday evening with golfing friends. An unusual way to serve Indian food in a Tapas Style manner. I would say starters were normal full portion size with main course pretty good size for Tapas as well. We ordered 13 different dish...

I do like a curry and I’d heard good thinks about the restaurant in Ayr. So I decided to go for a biryani. I was very disappointed in it, and not what I expected. The actual rice dish was fairly bland with the main flavour...

Wonderful fresh food. We tried 4 different dishes and they were all superb. Service and atmosphere was top notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Small tapas style dishes mean you can try a few different things. Everything cooked fresh.

Had a fabulous dinner here on Sunday. The food is excellent. You are served tapas sized portions so a bit different to a traditional Indian restaurant but all of the food was exceptional. Highly recommend all of the pakoras as well as the lamb chops....

Our first visit and won’t be our last. Indian tapas. A great way to eat excellent Indian food. Great selection of freshly cooked dishes on the menu and excellent service. Highly recommend a visit.

First time at the Troon edition of the 3 Idiots and we have to say it lived up to our very high expectations. Every dish was delicious, and the staff (Ali & Millie) were very attentive. We had my 94 year old dad with us,...

Had a lovely meal last Thursday. Ali and all the staff were very friendly. There are some imaginative dishes. I had the the chicken lime ginger which was lovely. Thoroughly recommend this as a destination for a night out in Troon.

The food was amazing, the lamb was cooked to perfection, the staff were very hospitable and couldn't do enough for me and my partner, they do a nice house red too, 5 stars from me

First time visiting the 3idiots in Troon. First class cuisine and excellent service. An interesting and wide ranging tapas menu. We had mushroom bajji, breast of chicken curry, fish pakora and king prawn curry. We didn't have rice and instead shared a pashwari nan. Good...

This was our first visit to 3 Idiots Troon. The restaurant was busy as it was a Friday evening and serving staff were very good at knowing when to take our order and offer more drinks. The menu was varied and catered to all our...

The food was of high quality and extremely tasty. I loved the tapas style , this allows you to share and taste different dishes. The decor and atmosphere was inviting and modern. Excellent customer service with friendly staff.

Previously visited Ayr branch and again was not disappointed. Food was 5 stars 🌟 fresh , provided in a timely manner and high quality in presentation and taste . Staff were all lovely, attentive and worked well as a team . Even with a tech...

Lovely evening in 3idiots with friends on Thursday, served by Ali. Great food and service. Will definitely be back soon.

Fabulous food, excellent service. Special mention for Ali who went out of his way to accommodate some changes to set meals. Would highly recommend.

I've been coming to Three Idiots now for months. If you haven't been...take a deep breath. This is indian food on steroids. Its simply the BEST. Ali is a very attentive host, the owner and chef Parveen personally makes sure your food and experience is...

Arnuba is without doubt talking a load of rubbish!! The lunch party we had yesterday for a Galentine's treat (girls only!)was absolutely amazing thanks to Parveen who is the chef and Ali who served us. Parveen cooked us the most delicious lunch which came to...

The standard of Indian cuisine is very high here. The portions are just right in my opinion. My waiting staff Ali and Milly were both efficient, charming and caring as they waited on table. I will definitely recommend to friends!

Three of us visited the 3idiots restaurant in Troon 14/2. The comical name of the restaurant might lead you to ponder some feelings of trepidation, BUT fear NOT!! These guys are no idiots when it comes to serving up delicious food and going all out...

Parveen opened at lunchtime today for our group of friends. The food was amazing. Such a selection. Every single dish was freshly cooked and we were efficiently attended to by Ali. I will definitely be eating there again soon.

Hubby and I had a lovely evening tonight. Millie made sure we got a table and phoned us when our table was ready. She looked after us all night. The food was delicious with portion sizes just right. Would definitely recommend

Ordered from Three idiots and got it delivered, every dish was absolutely amazing! Wonderful flavours and great size portions 🙏🏻 will 100% come back.

Called in with a friend, we hadn't booked but staff found us a table. The restaurant was buzzing, with a couple of large parties enjoying the evening. Our food was amazing, as ever, service prompt and friendly. It was my friend's first visit, he is...

Sunday 5th February ..Tried the Troon restaurant and would say it’s very much the same as Ayr.for our taste it’s excellent,service spot on,price was good..we where first in the restaurant so was a bit cold to sit there..but certainly wouldn’t mark it down in anyway..nice...

We came from Glasgow to Troon to meet up with friends for this meal. This was our first time in this restaurant, and it will most certainly be our last. My husband called the restaurant 2 weeks' prior to our visit (I was there when...

Great service food delicious. Small tapas meal good idea no food wasted. Chance to try different curries. Ali looked after all the diners very well.

Lovely Tapas meal last night. Popadums, 4 dishes 1 nan and 1 rice was more than adequate for two. Each dish was packed full of flavour and both the lamb and the chicken were perfectly cooked. Loved the draught IPA too.

The tapas curry was so delicious. Best curry I have had in a long time. Friendly owners. Wonderful service. Can't recommend it highly enough.

The food here is INCREDIBLE. Wow! What an experience at 3Idiots, Troon. The food is simply outstanding. Every single one of the 8 dishes we picked from the generous tapas menu was delicious. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients really do make a huge difference. Staff were...

We went with friends from Glasgow and we were not disappointed. The whole table of 4 couldn't believe how good the food was. It was delicious. So fresh. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere and decor is great. Not a surprise all of the...

A group of five of us had a memorable meal at the 3 Idiots in Troon last week. Indian tapas is an intriguing concept and need’s careful attention to get things right. The staff on Troon have certainly done their homework and the quality of...

One of, if not the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. The food is fantastic; freshly cooked to order and each dish has its own unique flavour and texture. It is a tapas menu, however it is super easy to build a more...

Had our first meal at the 3idiots on Christmas Eve, certainly won’t be our last. Staff were very friendly and frequently checking we had everything we needed. Menu had a great array of choices and the food was amazing , particularly the chilli king prawns....

Family of 5 visited for dinner on Saturday night. Great buzz, food was all fabulous. Def one of our fav places to eat! Booth we had was comfy and all the servers were polite and friendly and Efficient. Will be back!

Absolutely delicious food.. service excellent. Thank you so much. Happy New Year Julie Smith and family xxxx

Excellent Meal in lovely surroundings. 6 of us ordered 12 dishes to share and all were very tasty and fresh. The Nan breads are fantastic as well. Great service. We will be back.

I raved about the place in Ayr when we visited, but the prices here are nothing short of ridiculous. £15.50 for a lamb biryani ! It’s rice with some meat ? £9 for gobi aloo ! It cauliflower and potatoes ? Super tasty food ,...

Had a few recommendations from friends so decided to try it out. Three guys (possibly idiots) looking for food and a beer on a Wednesday evening. We weren’t disappointed as we had great variety of Asian food and draft lager. The staff were friendly and...

My first visit and expectations were high due to verbal recommendations. Decor and staff were welcoming , drinks came quickly and a pleasant interval to review the menu and greet our friends. I was unfamiliar with the menu and our waiter Afan was very helpful...

My first visit to the recently opened 3 Idiots Troon did not disappoint. There was a warm welcome from Parveen and Ali, the food was superb and the new premises most welcoming. The quality and presentation of the food was first class. Although a bit...

Sunday evening, fairly quiet but not deserted. Nice atmosphere. Staff were very nice, helpful and welcoming. Food was really good. Tasty, nice variation with the smaller plates. Naan was great. Food came incredibly quick..(almost too quick? Hmm) Restaurant was a little cold but the heating...

We enjoyed the tapas style menu, it meant we could enjoy more of the menu! The staff were friendly but not intrusive. The cost was reasonable for what we had!

The food was excellent! I love that I can have different smaller dishes as it means being able to try more of this excellent food! Staff were lovely and friendly. We will definitely be back.

An absolutely fantastic evening was had with family and friends, the service for Ali's team was great, very efficient, friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic, I'm vegetarian and the selection was amazing and super tasty, packed full of flavour. The wine was also delicious....
