Ayubowan Restaurant in High Peak

Great food, could probably do with more staff on a Saturday night.

A lot of money for the food we had. Not enough curry sauce for 3. No free Bhajis.

My family and I enjoyed visiting Ayubowan for the vegan buffet experience, which we felt was good value for money and offered a very wide selection of different dishes. Delicious food and friendly, attentive service. Thank you! We will be back 🙏

Gorgeous food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff were friendly and very helpful finding GF options for my mum. Will deffo be coming again :)

Hidden gem! Absolutely love this place! Food is always so fresh and tasty! Dont know who the guy is who served us but we’ve had him twice now and he’s always been so polite and pleasant!

Great food and service. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be visiting again next time we pass through Glossop.

best food in Glossop hands down. amazing service and great assortment of vegan options. 10/5, higly recommended.

Always amazing food from this restaurant. A great variety of choice for you fancy something a bit different. The chilli and garlic potatoes are out of this world cx

"best takeaway I ever had" - Me

I ordered a takeaway on the seventeenth of sept . Delivery via Just eat. . I paid £26:20 for seven items. Upon opening said food I Found Lukewarm food that looked like it has been thrown in each, on top of some leaves. No idea what sauce went with which meal.. one container had yellow watery a substance I presume it was curry with no taste at all as for everything else ,poppadoms and chutney. Chicken kathu, parriphphu, lamb patties, kanda bhaji. All were inedible and looked thrown. Into the containers and were disposed of . What a waste of money. Never again nothing like the food In Sri Lanka.

Really delicious, attention to detail and great service. Enjoyed the main, side and dessert equally, high quality across the board.

beautiful food,worth every penny I highly recommend 😁

Terrific sophisticated food in lovely atmosphere with friendly service. Will definitely go back

Fantastic Authentic Sri Lankan restaurant in scenic Peak District. Excellent food at a reasonable cost. Try mutton Kottu and Srilankan 🍺, Loin . Enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

Ate there last night. The food, service and atmosphere was second to none! 5 star.

Delicious hearty food, I love that you also add lots of veggies. Customer service great too. Will def be ordering again. Thank you guys

Went in at 6pm on a Saturday, very quiet and nice atmosphere. Service was brilliant and quick, food was delicious. Highly recommend. We had the Mutton Devil and Mixed Seafood Curry - very good!

UNBELIEVABLE came here for my birthday and will definitely be coming back....cocktails amazing Service amazing and the food is on a different planet

Starters and chef specials are amazing! The tiger beer is great as well and goes with the food perfectly. Highly recommend!

Soulful place!!! The food is excellent, barakat!

2nd time been there and wasn't disappointed

Absolutely delicious food, great service and all round fav experience

Goreng and Kothu tasted much more salty this time?

We can thoroughly recommend this restaurant. The food was beautifully presented and so tasty. Our server was really helpful and friendly .

A lovely little place for my first time trying Sri Lankan food, sticky chicken wings, a lovely starter and finally the devil mutton, well it's Halloween 🎃 delicious 🤤 spice to your own taste, together with a bottle or two of the Lion beer 🍺 happy days, cheers 👍🍻

Delivery was on time in line with the time given once the order had been placed but that was much later than the delivery time given BEFORE placing when I went through the list of places to choose from. One of the reasons I chose this place was it had a shorter time but then once I'd paid the time was longer than some of the others even and almost twice what it had said. Very disappointed with the food as I had heard that this place was good. I found the food unremarkable and found two of the three starters very dry. I personally didn't taste the main as being unaware that choosing the sharing option on the starters meant they would put them all in the same box, my husband's non-meat starters and my chicken wings were in the same box so I had to have all the starters and he had all the main. He was underwhelmed by his food also. Maybe just not to our taste. We don't have take out very often and really this reminded us why. BUT this may be our taste and not the restaurant we used. So I would suggest people try and decide for themselves.

I had the Garlic Chilli Chicken curry with Yellow rice, the curry was spicy but not intolerable and had flavour other than spice. The Yellow Rice had raisins and cashews which made it a bit sweet and was different to rice I usually get but i really liked it. The curry portions was small which I felt a tad annoyed at for the price and definitely smaller than a lot of curries I come across. Also tried the egg roti was pretty good, crispy with gooey egg inside and these crispy potatoes which I don’t recall the name but they were also pretty good. The dessert was the Chocolate Biscuit Pudding and it was so chocolatey and I enjoyed it very much.

Such great food and very good service! We got the kottu roti and chef special - both excellent. Highly recommend!

The food is incredible here and always sends me straight back to my time in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend the vegan kothu.

I've just been for the second time tonight and I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. I've left the restaurant full, happy and raving about how delicious it was.

Amazing food! Can not wait to have the next one

"Absolutely delightful experience at this Sri Lankan gem in Glossop, UK! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was inviting, and the aroma of spices tantalized our senses. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste truly sets this restaurant apart. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a culinary journey through Sri Lanka right here in the UK!"

The taste of the food was not good for us, but this may vary for everyone. The service was far below the standard. For example, the waiter brings food when there is a plate from the previous meal on the table and waits for you to put it away. The atmosphere is not bad. But the price quality is not up to standard.

Gorgeous authentic food, great value and prepared/presented with love. Highly recommend for vegans.

Had a wonderful experience at Ayubowan. Food was delicious! Starters were full of flavor and were a good variety to choose from. Lamb curry was also flavorful and tender. Good service and a friendly atmosphere.

Lovely food everytime I've ordered.

Great food. Different tastes. Give it a try. I'm sure you will be delighted.

We visited on Easter Sunday for the monthly vegan buffet - always on the last Sunday. You walk in up the stairs, which initially look and feel a bit grim - but persevere, and arrive at the restaurant. The decor was bright and reflected the Sri Lankan culture. We chose to sit in a booth which was comfortable and intimate. The service was excellent - attentive and friendly. The buffet was set out really well, everything was clearly labelled. The choice was fantastic, so many starters, mains, and desserts on offer; everything vibrant and fresh. The food was delicious and it was great to try so many different dishes. It’s all you can eat for £19.95 and you can definitely make the most of this as there is no feeling of being rushed. The vegan buffet starts at 2pm but before this there is an omnivorous buffet available. There is no cross contamination issues as there is a break between so all food on offer after 2 is definitely vegan. Highly recommended!

We didn’t have to wait very long for the food and it tasted lovely ! Presentation was amazing and our service was impeccable, such a nice gentlemen served us :)

We just went for lunch and the food was incredible. I have not had such amazing, authentic and delicious food like that outside of Asia. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, the owner was warm and welcoming and the service was exceptional. We will be back again.

We hired Ayubowan to provide food for a family party at a local venue. The team at Ayubowan were really helpful both in the booking and suggested food to have. On the evening they were quick to set the food up in large traditional copper bowls and warmers which looked superb, adding a special touch. The food itself was superb. The curries and sides were sublime and everyone at the party thoroughly enjoyed it, many going back for thirds, fourths and fifths! And there was very little left at the end of the evening... enough though for me to enjoy a little more at home. A perfect amount and variety of food for the money. If you are having a function I would recommend Ayubowan. Friendly, talented chefs, very easy to deal with, and will impress your guest and help to make your special event memorable. Thank you Ayubowan. You're awesome!!

I have dined here on a few occasions, both from their regular menu (amazing food and excellent value!) and more recently their Sunday vegan buffet. As a none vegan with vegan relatives it made a refreshing change to be able to eat out without any need to pre-plan and fret about what people were going to eat - on top of that everything we had was fabulous! I would highly recommend Ayubowan to anyone!

Fantastic food and great atmosphere! Lovely coconut dishes. Very good value for somewhere so nice

One of the tastiest meals I’ve had for a while! Food cooked fresh with lots of flavours, would recommend

Very friendly staff and lovely choices on the menu. The staff are very knowledgeable and the food was beautifully cooked..

Delicious food, delivered promptly and politely. We would definitely order again!

Great Dinner, friendly and helpful staff. Food was superb and lovely restaurant. Will stop again if passing Glossop!!

We tried the Nasi Goreng today in Sheffield. It was delicious!

No customer service at all No one asked if our food was ok When they came to collect plates my husband told them the food wasn’t good and couldn’t eat it We got no apology, nothing we expected at least know a bit of the bill A young lad was serving and seemed more interested in his phone than customers Definitely gone down hill , small portions and sat on wooden pallets No atmosphere at all

Great food and speed of delivery will definitely return.

Disappointing. Ordered a biryani and a nasi goring. Both were really stodgy and dry; and the nasi goring was just a chilled-up version of the biryani, with no real flavour difference between them. Portions were massive: one dish would be enough for most people to share between two.

Really nice Sri Lankan food right on the Glossop high street. Good vegan options. Best of all before going there it was so easy to book our table online. Our meal was delicious tonight. Very happy with the quality of food and the level of service. The taste is absolutely fantastic. Even the chutney in our starter was spot on.

Not been here for a few years but went recently and it’s not a patch on his it use to be. The interior use to be plush and homely and it’s now got seating made out of pallets. More a street food vibe? The over all quality of the food and staff has dipped too over the years. Such a shame. There are better places to eat in Glossop and at better prices

Just had another takeaway from Ayubowan and it is just divine. Hot, fresh, flavoursome curries and love the sides like the sticky aubergine. Their food doesn't feel greasy like other curries, it feels healthier and more flavoursome. They also cater excellently for Gluten Free.

Fantastic food, great attention to detail, atmosphere and vegan food!

Shame the place was cold to sit in. We ate with our coats covering our legs

Beautiful food - I had the Columbo Abulo and it was fantastic. It was nicely presented and the staff were really pleasant too.

Ordered the dare devil chicken burger expecting to be spicy. but il say was falsely Advertised but potato with chilli an garlic butter was very tasty

The devil chicken is now too spicy, the dips are bland and overall its just too pricey. We ordered a takeaway as a treat but it wasn't worth it

Great restaurant, up there with the best in the area. We come over from Stockport especially to go here. Great value at the best of times… on Wednesdays mains and desserts are two for one!

Normally very good, but tonight’s curry can best be described as ‘watery’. Very disappointing.

First visit this evening will definitely be returning 😋

First time a new dining experience

Arrived quickly when I asked for ASAP. Food lovely as always (although for me the paratha was a bit too black and the kids wouldn't eat it). Bhaji are one of my favourite things! Thanks

A brilliant find! In Glossop for a walking weekend, saw this place on way in. So welcoming, friendly staff. Amazing food, can't rate it highly enough. We shared chicken and jackfruit rolls (spicy and v tasty ), then devils prawns and the chefs selection, which was a bit of everything, exactly how I like to eat. Would definitely return if we come back to High Peak.

Great food and great service - a really good experience, will definitely make sure to return in the future

Amazing it was the best ever I swear down. We went for reymondos birthday and it was the best meal ever seriously it was greT

The food at this restaurant was an absolute delight. The menu offered a diverse range of options, catering to various tastes. I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant yesterday and was absolutely blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, with Dilanka taking the lead in ensuring that my evening was nothing short of extraordinary.

Decided to try it for the first time with friends who are vegan but we're either vegetarian or meat eaters. Everyone loved the food, even our kids who are normally quite safe with their food. Great portions, lovely flavours and beautifully seasoned. Will definitely go back.

Best Sri Lankan restaurant in the UK! No doubt 10/10, This place reminds me of the authentic Sri Lankan taste! I fell like back in home while dining there ♥️🇱🇰

Curry was ok but popadoms clearly old and stale very disappointing and inedible

Stayed over in Glossop for the night and dined at the restaurant after a lovely day walking. Wow what an amazing gem of a place for Glossop. The staff member Dilanka gave exceptional service and the food was to die for. I had the Red Beef curry and egg roti and the beef was melt in the mouth tender and the curry sauce was packed full of flavour. Will be sure to be back again on our next walking trip. Thank you Ayubowan!

The taste, was horrible, indefinable, unpleasant and with a gritty texture. The meat,(mutton)was in small cubes several of which were mostly connective tissue and fat. This was my second order, and fared about the same as the first.

Wow what a place! Not only is it really welcoming and chilled inside, but the food is out of this world! I never give a 10/10 but 🏆🥇you must try this place

Gorgeous food very authentic, lovely staff, would definitely recommend 👍

Food was very nice and fresh. Flavours were really good.

Terrible service and the exit is too small if you are over 5 ft 10 so you bang your head on the door frame. Yes they have a sign but it’s the smallest sign in the world and you won’t see it

Was delicious but didn't really know what I was ordering, very spicy! Ha

Very disappointed. Have always enjoyed the restaurant food. Unfortunately, the nasi goreng (chicken and prawn), was awful. Chicken was unrecognisable as chicken as it was so hard. Two prawns in the whole dish (also inedible…rubbery)! Felt like the meat was frozen and then cooked and reheated. Poor. Won’t order for delivery again. 😔

Fantastic food. Great Sri Lankan dishes that were all really tasty including the poppadoms and chutneys. Only shame was slow initial service but picked up as soon as we ordered drinks. Ambiance was great too. They do a buffet on Sundays too

We moved to Glossop recently and this was our first meal out in town - couldn't have made a better choice! Food was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be back!

This was our first time at Ayubowan and we’ll definately return and recommend this lovely restaurant to all our friends! The food was really fab! We were a party of 5 so got to share lots of different dishes – everyone enjoyed every single mouthful and our table host was so friendly and helpful. The curry dishes were a big step-up from traditional curry-houses - and the specialities offered us some wonderful new taste experiences. The meu is extensive and a little eclectic, so great for larger groups - everyone will find their own favourite Very vegan-friendly - lots of options and a willingness accommodate a couple of slight personal preference adaptations from the standard dishes. Great value for money - good portion size. We love it and will definately return (we're already planning a return for lunch on the terrace!) The stairs from the front entrance were a bit of a challenge for one of our party but there is a stair lift and access may be easier from the back of the restaurant. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly!

The description of the dish did not include pineapple so I was a bit surprised to find plenty of slices of it dressing the dish as well as throughout. I would not have ordered it if I’d known. It was also quite wet which I’ve never experienced with a goreng dish. Bit disappointed this time tbh but I will order other dishes from you again.

Great meal tonight highly recommend fresh taste Great menu and surroundings

Amazing food here. Everything is really fresh and tasty. 2 for 1 on a Wednesday too. Honestly best food you'll have.

First time ordering being new to the area, I will be ordering 100% again in the near future. The meal I ordered was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Lovely meal today a must try and loads of vegan options

Fabulous food, well recommended. Very good value as well.

Lovely atmosphere, great service, delicious food. The menu was vast and it was hard to choose from. Hoping to get a takeaway tonight. We need one of these restaurants in Southeast London.

It took 40mins before we got the first tapas dish even though it was a quiet Sunday afternoon. But the mains that came were fresh hot and delicious and I would definitely to try other meals.

Delivery person was lovely food was hot and delicious. First time ordering from them but won't be the last

Outstanding food and service. Somewhere to go if you fancy a slightly different curry experience. Cannot fault this place and will definitely return!

I always love to order from my local restaurant is the the best in Glossop, thank you for adding some salads and lemon to my meal, calamari was delicious 👏

The chicken was dry and there was loads of leek you could tell it wasn’t washed well.

Do yourself a favour and order from here, delicious!

The bhaji is tough and cold and the rice is also cold...lukewarm at best. With these prices I expected something a lot better. Very disappointed. I don't have anything else in the house so how have to have cold dinner

Food was absolutely delicious. Though sadly missing the chutney I ordered :(

Fantastic food, really enjoyed it. Great value for money. Great service. Will definitely go again.

Great food with new tastes. The service was excellent and the atmosphere relaxed and peaceful. I recommend highly.

What an amazing place, food is amazing, staff amazing very attentive explain the menu and our voucher. Highly recommended, will be visiting again.
