Overall not a nice experience. The pickle tray to start was nice. The mains then took a long time to arrive. The mains weren’t served together, there was a five minute wait between. Then another five minute wait for the naan bread. The chicken tikka was inedible - it was so dry and hard. We told the waitress and she offered an alternative however due to the time we had already waited, we declined. The biriani wasn’t much better. The peshwari naan was tasteless and very greasy. When paying the bill we were told ‘the chef recommends you don’t have chicken tikka in the future as it is cooked in the oven and will be dry’. We won’t be returning

Attractive restaurant with friendly staff and a comprehensive menu of Asian food. My only gripe was a 50-minute wait from ordering the meal to it being served to us. The staff were effusive with apologies for the delay, but I feel we should have been warned at the outset that there would be a considerable wait to get our food. To finish on a positive, our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which were delicious

I live in Hampshire but have been up here for work near Elgin on 8 separate occasions in the last 4 months. Whilst the other Indian restaurants in Elgin were decent (“l found “spice tandoori” very good and much better than the “Qismat”), neither of these can be compared to Panache which was outstanding. Just found the dishes tasted differently than any other Indian restaurant I have been to. Each dish/starter that I tried seemed to be packed with flavour. The menu contained many dishes that I have not even heard of or seen on other menus before. I just wished I found this restaurant at the start and not on my last trip up in Scotland.

This award winning restaurant has excellent food but their consistent lack of leadership in the restaurant lets them down. We booked a table online but were told on arrival that we only had 45 minutes to have our meal. Waitress placed the place for main course while we were still eating our starter! This is the second time we have been in here and found the staff to be inexperienced and lacking leadership.

Phoned in order at 7:30 was told 30mins for collection, walked in at 8pm and could see the restaurant was extremely busy for both sit in customers and takeaways but as promised meal was ready!! And what a meal it was probably best curry I have had period, get yourself into Panache for a culinary delight.

We visit this restaurant last night, with friends, during our annual visit to this part of Scotland. We have visited the restaurant for a number of years and have always experienced the reasonably priced food and excellent service. Last night’s experience was possibly the best we have experienced so far. We arrived at at 5.30pm (as per our booking) and by the time we left around 7pm, the restaurant was full with a diverse selection of customers. Thank you to Anne and other members of staff who looked after us. Thanks also to those who prepared and cooked our food, which, as usual, was of the highest standard. It’s little wonder that you have so many awards on show around the restaurant. We will be back!

Well what can I say, it was just awesome. I went on Xmas day as a treat for myself as I live alone and rather than the shopping and cooking Xmas dinner trauma I opted as pre planned take away. I did contact them via email to check they were open on Xmas day and they promptly replied with a yes. Open from 1-7pm. Woo hoo happy days. So I pre ordered online and walked up ( only 15 minutes walk for me and I was greeted warmly and also heartily surprised by how many others were there eating in and waiting for takeout. The smell was amazing and atmosphere of happy diners. My takeout arrived 5 minutes later and off I skipped eagerly home. I ordered starter with main ,kebab for starter and chicken tikka naga morich for main it is a hot dish but doesn’t blow your head off it just melts in your mouth and is super tasty. Pilau rice,and the peshwari nan is just to die for,super tasty. I have friends at work who lament about the peshwari nan it just sends the meal into a different world. Pickle tray is always worth the extra as it accomplishes the meal perfectly. So all in all, great value as treat and takeout. There were no added charges by the way just the same as you would pay on any other day, well that was the case for the takeout. So highly recommended and the portions were perfectly balanced thanks for the food and the experience.

Lovely meal out at Christmas with family, good food, good service, friendly staff. However, the set price menu for Christmas was exorbitantly priced. We looked at the usual menu afterwards and discovered that if we had just paid normal prices for the food and drinks we had it would have been about £120 for the whole meal, however, with the set price available for Christmas it was £260. More than double the cost. I would definitely go again for normal prices, but not for the holiday season set menu price. Still in shock.

We come here as a couple every 6 weeks or so, but last night we brought some of the ( grown up) family. It would be fair to say they were bowled over by the food. We had 5 different main courses, each distinctive and very tasty. Can’t remember which one was described as the “best curry in the world”, which is tempting fate, but it was certainly up there. Also a special mention for the coconut rice. If Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi food is your thing, look no further.

I was visiting from Birmingham with my family on holiday and we came across this Indian restaurant like a few minutes away from our hotel. And I tell you what it was the best choice we could’ve picked, because the food was amazing top standard and the service was immaculate. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Considering all the places we had tried in Elgin it was definitely the best.

Very good online ordering system, unfortunately that is where the positives end! I ordered from here as they had the shortest waiting time, however as soon as I submitted the order I received an email adding another 25 mins on but when I went to collect the order, I was another 20 mins waiting on the food. On getting it home I have to say it was the worst Indian meal I have ever had and definitely will never be going back to Panache. Honestly, don't waste your money. We usually go to Elgin's top Indian restaurant and will never bypass them again. Poor service, poor food, poor show Panache!

Booked a table online and didn’t have it down when we arrived. Had a takeaway previously with same issue. Had to sit and wait for a table and it would’ve went a long way to simply be offered a drink for their mistake. No complaints over the food just thought it a bit pricey for what we had and didn’t get a breakdown to double check. Tried to pay with a gift card but no one had a clue how to use it and we’re too busy to look into it properly so ended up paying by other means so kind of defeated the purpose. Has went rapidly downhill since last visit in the summer.

I had been with my mum and sister a few weeks a go and it was amazing and they were lovely so I suggested to my work mates that it would be lovely to go here for our Xmas lunch. I have never been so embarrassed and disappointed. The food was cold and went back twice and even then it was luke warm. Was not offered coffee and icecream that went with the lunch. When I booked the table they were very lovely and said it was absolutely fine we were going at 130pm. They started hoovering while we were eating. When we went to pay, he said it was our fault that we never asked for the coffee and that they had stayed late for us, I said the reason it took longer was because the food was cold. He totally tried to blame us and it was our fault!!!!!! Ridiculous and very unprofessional and still charged us full price. And put a post it note in an envelope with “you’s are not welcome at panache anymore, from panache. Wtf????

This is now under the name Panache. I went there for my Christmas meal with my work colleagues, 9 of us altogether. Unfortunately the food was cold and had to be sent back twice. The third time the food was warm at best but we were too uncomfortable to say again so we ate what we could. We had booked for 1330 but as they usually close at 1400 they said that was fine as we were a big party. While eating they began to clean around us and Hoover, we have pictures. They also turned off the heating and the music. After our main meal we should have had coffee and ice cream, we didnt get but still charged us for it. We did comment about this but the staff argued and was very rude, even shouted. Once we had paid, nearly £200, we were handed an envelope with a post it note stating 'yous are not welcome in Panache again". This is not really a problem as not one of us will be back.

Within 10 minutes they managed to sort a table for us, staff was so nice to us and gave us plenty attention even though they were rushed of their feet since the minute we stepped in the door, very professional I must add also' drinks and popdoms came out promptly popdoms were fresh,once food arrived now this is when things got real just the spices and the taste of freashness it was so delicious you could definitely taste every spice added into the currys. both currys tasted completely different 'which is rare as we have visited alot of places and their currys are usually the same taste' beautiful restaurant inside with good view, no wonder the have won multiple awards best curry house we have tasted & will definitely be spreading the word!

Very disappointing. My wife had chicken mama special and I had a ginger chicken. The dishes looked and tasted almost identical, bland and lacking any rich flavour. Described as medium hot, I’m afraid they weren’t. I can’t understand why this restaurant now called Panache won an award for being one of the best in Scotland. Not great and at £40 for 2 pints, 2 mains, 1 naan and a rice, poor value for money.

This restaurant is now renamed Panache and we visited on a wet lunchtime a couple of months ago. Our visit was the first for us since the namechange and it was surprisingly quiet considering how well it had recently done in the National Curry Awards, for which it had achieved some good press publicity. We enjoyed our lunch but Elgin is blessed with a couple of other very good Indian restaurants so the competition is tough. We will return.

This restaurant has been renamed with a new menu so I thought I'd give it a go. Disappointing - though I may be in a minority judging by other reviews. Pappadams were not fresh and one a bit stale. I didn't ask for the pickle selection but it was brought anyway. I ordered the herb chicken breast, served on a bed of roasted vegetables, with a tomato sauce and rice. Sounds a bit different and promising but it didn't deliver. Any herbs and spices were swamped by the sweet tomato sauce; I have no idea what was being used to spice the dish. Large chunks of peppers and courgette which may or may not have been prepared that day - hard to tell. Pint of Kingfisher beer was fine, as was the rice. I wasn't surprised that the bill included the pickle selection which I had not ordered, nor touched, so that had to be changed. We continually feel, these days, that if you want good Indian good it's best to make it at home with a good recipe book as it's hard to find anything that looks or tastes authentic.

if you ever wondered what kind of restaurant would be the one for you to experience the taste bud of a life time the taste of bangladesh or the secrets of syhlet, then look no further! i can honestly say me and my fianće have never experienced this level of customer service in such a fabulous surrounding. We were waited on hand and foot by all the staff at every opportunity. There was amazing food, wonderful decor and amazing service! I could go on and on and on but its all been said by everyone.

The food is absolutely excellent and every thing is cooked fresh to order. The staff could not be nicer and nothing is too much trouble. Without doubt, the best curry house I have visited in Scotland and I am really glad it is on my doorstep! A must visit for tourists in the area!

Me and my family nipped in to this beautiful little Indian in Elgin while visiting, staff was very welcoming as we entered, sat us immediately and recommended some dishes to us, keema aloo was one of the dishes we got and it was my far the best curry I have tasted, can’t wait to come back to visit, would definitely recommend.

This is now under new management and trading as Panache. The food is of an excellent quality and the service is exceptionally friendly and efficient. Give it a try!

Une bonne adresse lorsqu'on passe dans la petite ville d'Elgin : serveur sympathique et plats goûteux. Cadre correct, en revanche le nom de l'établissement a changé récemment, ne pas être dérouté, il se nomme Panache.

Really impressed with the presentation and flavour of the food and the staff were incredibly friendly. Restoring Akash (Panache) back to its former glory! A few small service errors were made but this was rectified by epic food, courteous staff and a buttery Chardonnay.

After confusion with what restaurant we was supposed to meet at (going to the wrong one!), they managed to fit us in even though they was fully booked, couldn’t be more helpful!

First the good, the food is excellent, in fact superb, the waiting staff couldn’t be nicer if they tried, but I suspect they are a victim of their own success. Went tonight, great food and lovely waiting staff, but had to wait nearly 1hr 30mins for our food to come out, this to be honest would stop me from going back again which is a real shame as the food when it came was outstanding. At least offer a free drink or something if it’s going to be this long a wait, we were just under £30 a head which I thought was a bit on the high side.

Had been to this restaurant in the past. But was interested to see how it was having heard of changes to ownership and a current award. Service was excellent, made to feel very welcome. Food was to a really high standard and very reasonably priced. Will certainly return

We bumped into this restaurant walking through Elgin. The food was tasty and the staff kind and welcoming. We paid a 53£ bill for 4 main courses (chicken and salmon) and 2 nan breads. The portions were large and we really enjoyed. The only negative point was that we had to wait more than 40 mins. after we ordered the food.
