Brown Munde Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire

Great meal with fabulous friends in Brown Munde tonight! Superb food, fab, friendly service and looking forward to my next visit!

Been in the restaurant 3 times now and every time the food has been amazing! Very fresh and tasty food. Service was good very friendly. Highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely food & fabulous service. Food was so full of flavour & freshly cooked. Great you have the option for small or large plates. Wine was excellent too.

Every time we have been here the food is just fab. The portions are just the right size. Staff always lovely. Great place for a night out.

My son and I had a delicious meal here. Food was fresh and tasty. Loved the tapas small plates where you can try various dishes. Will definitely be back.

Group of 9 of us had a great meal here, and the Tapas style enabled us to savour a broad spectrum of dishes. Food was excellent, with very friendly service. Love the wall mural and the story behind it.

Decided to try this restaurant in Kilmarnock for my birthday, we usually go to Chaakoo in Glasgow as it is authentic Persian street food. Brown Munde is a clear competitor with their outstanding authentic Indian street food, we have spent a lot of time touring India and this food is very authentic. Added to that we enjoyed the attentive and pleasant service, warm plates, elegant wine glasses and high quality napkins, although we were the only customers ( we were there between lunch and dinner on a Friday) the food was freshly cooked and delicious, the lamb samoosa with the spicy chickpeas was incredible, we will definitely be back.

Lovely, Lovely food, l had the Chicken Tikka Masala, and didn’t want it to end. I’ll be back very very soon. Give it a try. Thank you chaps for a great meal.

Great food lovely restaurant nice friendly staff quick service food is delicious and well flavoured will definitely visit again

jatin was amazing with us. inside the restaurant was beautiful. the food was delicious. 100% would go again. definitely their favourite customers!

Went here today we both had the Tahli, mine had South Indian lamb, cauliflower curry, chicken pakora, garlic nan and rice, hubby had chicken madras, potato curry, chicken pakora, garlic nan and rice, was the best curry I’ve had in years, the Tahli was more than enough there was plenty of each dish. Will absolutely return and would highly recommend

Food was wonderful. Love the smaller portions choosing different tastes within one full meal. The waiters were so gentle and helpful. A lovely night.

One of the best Indian restaurants I have eaten in! A real hidden gem in Kilmarnock! The portion sizes were generous for tapas. The food was absolutely packed with flavour. The lime and ginger prawns were the star of the show for me!

This is our first time trying this restaurant and we were not disappointed the food is absolutely fantastic, this is very different from your normal Indian restaurant. This is tapas style and gives the diner every opportunity to try new tastes. I would highly recommend this and on a plus the staff are first class with a wealth of knowledge in this industry.

This was our second visit here, the food was excellent, but the service was very poor. As per other reviews we had to wait for 20mins after arrival for a drink order to be taken and another 15mins for it to arrive. The same with our starter and main course, order was taken and about 20min before our food arrived. Cash only in this day and age is not an acceptable way to run a restaurant, probably not go back because of the poor service.

The reason for the low rating is simply related to the service and attitude of senior staff. The food was all very tasty and portion sizes were sufficient. Our dining experience was entirely ruined by the chaotic and disorganised staff who seemed to prioritise take away customers over restaurant diners. Our party of four waited twenty minutes before being asked for a drinks order, which then took another twenty minutes to arrive. We ordered food during this wait which took another half hour. When the food finally arrived and was almost thrown down on our table by a very indifferent server, my husband ordered another drink which didn’t reach us until after we had all finished our meal. No apology, just a shrug and comment about the bar staff being too slow! When we went to pay we were told it was cash only, a sign informing customers of this was on the back of the door as you leave, not very helpful. The person behind the bar was unpleasant, barking that an email had been sent to all customers so we should have cash. No email had actually been sent. All in all the experience was a real disappointment. unless staff undergo training to improve their service, and managers learn to stop openly blaming staff incompetence and improve their manner when speaking to customers, I fear the restaurant won’t be very successful.

Went with hubby and another couple and the meal was nothing short of stellar! Food tasted fresh and there was such a variety of dishes to choose from. They even had an extensive vegan menu for me. The atmosphere is very lovely, lots of little touches that make it a nice place to eat. The serving staff were all very friendly, I think they could have been a bit more attentive, but really they were fine. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

Our second to visit to Brown Munde and didn’t disappoint. Staff very friendly. Service quick but not rushed. Four dishes were sufficient for the two of us. The Machi Masala was excellent. My husband’s first taste of Kingfisher Xero and he was impressed

Food was excellent as per usual Chose the mixed platter for three and some extra bits as we were 4. Everything was beautifully cooked and the lamb melted in your mouth! The atmosphere is so nice and the service was great! We had a lovely time.

Have been to Brown Munde a few times now and cannot recommend it enough. The food is always delicious - best in Kilmarnock. The team really do work hard to make your experience great. South Indian Lamb, Lamb Chops, Spiced Haddock, and Chasni are all favourites. Will be back! Again and again.

Went for the thali lunch menu and wasn't disappointed! Perfect amount for lunch. Loved the 3 choices - veg, fish or meat - with the chef choosing the currys for each option. I had the fish platter and it was amazing. Full of flavour and a real Friday treat with colleagues. Geat price too! Everyone was delighted with their meal!

Visited this restaurant recently for a dinner with my wife. Beautiful decor, really cool. The service was friendly but not intrusive. The food was unreal - our favourite was the spiced haddock which we've never seen before. Will return and very soon!

The best Indian meal I have had over the last 15 years. I travel regularly throughout Europe and the USA and this is hands down is the best I have had. Good atmosphere with great friendly staff. I 100% recommend it.

From the service to the food to the price this was a five star experience. Did I mention the food? Aubergine fritters, something a little different are a must try. Fish pakora and fish curry are a delight. And the lamb dishes, just melt in your mouth. Tapas is the way to go. There were four of us and all of us agreed this is just what Kilmarnock needed, an Indian but not just any Indian, a truly wonderful dining experience. We will be back!

First visit after hearing lots of good things. Excellent service. Portion sizes may be small but great opportunity to try various recipes and very filling. Great value for money & will definitely be back.

Amazing atmosphere, food and service. The food is the best curry I’ve ever had - the staff were lovely especially Millie!

The best restaurant in kilmarnock for indian food - visited with our family of 6 and absolutely loved it ! Favourite dish was the lamb chops and butter chicken. will be back!

As a typical connoisseur of curry I was enlightened by our visit to this restaurant. I’ve been brought up on the Gandhi, Ashoka, Turban et all over many decades but ….. an impromptu Sunday evening visit to Kilmarnock changed everything. It was quiet so I...

Amazing food , great service friendly staff Food was so tasty , best Indian food I’ve had in a while Unfortunately we don’t live here so can’t return as often as we would like

Cracking restaurant. I love tapas style and love Indian food so it’s a great combination! Travelled from Renfrew to try it out and it was definitely worth it!

Just had an amazing dinner here! Tapas style Indian food is a great idea… there was 3 of us and we ordered 6 plates plus rice and sundries which was enough! Price and quality of food is unmatched not to mention the friendly service from...

We have visited Brown Munde several times since it opened. The food is always top class. Staff are attentive and friendly. I have only the highest recommendation for this establishment.

Really liked the interior, a loft space with great design like somewhere in Ashton Lane in Glasgow’s West End. Food is small plates/ Tapas style which means you can try more things. I had three dishes- the grilled lamb chops with nice dry spice coating...

Our first visit to Brown Munde, food was incredible, flavours amazing. We had 4 tapas - 2 curries, 2 pakora, peshwari nan, spiced onions, mango chutney and poppadoms. We will most definitely return. Can highly recommend.

Really pleased to have this venue open up. I’ve generally been disappointed in the Indian food available locally. Tried a take away. Spoke to the staff explained I only wanted tender lamb and some additional discussion on level of heat and spice. Chef guaranteed lamb...

Went with a friend for a Friday night treat. The service was fantastic and our server, Abbie, was very attentive and helpful. We had two prawn dishes and two lamb dishes. Superb, the lamb chops were some of the best I’ve ever had. The lamb...

Tapas style food, very good. It recommends 2 dishes per person. If you like a good curry I would order 3 dishes each there was 4 of us 3 rices was fine. Order a nan bread each. Haggis pakora is excellent. It’s all good. Well...

Thanks guys for such a fabulous meal tonight. Me and my partner enjoyed such a nice selection of various dishes. The tea and the desserts to clear the pallet afterwards were just perfect. Amazing value for money. We have recommended your buissness to friends and...

Great food, service very fast and staff friendly. Restaurant atmosphere very cosy and nice decor. Menu varied and good value.

My first Indian tapas and it was delicious. Lots of recommendations from staff, who were attentive and friendly. Can't wait to go back .

First time at this restaurant and had heard good things, and they were right. There was 12 of us in a family group which was no problem at all for the restaurant. The staff were attentive and very helpful when asked about the menu, we...

Oh Dear! Arrived at the restaurant at 4pm, cannot say I was that impressed with the décor! Ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio Rose wine which was on the website menu. Young guy arrived with White pinot. Apparently they did not serve the Rose. Ordered...

First time visiting this wee restaurant…loved the decor. The story about the name is fun and the mural of the team is class (even if they’ve given our favourite waiter a fivehead rather than a forehead!). Lots of interesting dishes…well worth asking for recommendations from...

Food was brilliant and staff could not have been any more helpful. Would highly recommend. Portion size was good also.

Amazing food, so fresh and very tasty, love the decor and music, great servers, one being Sonny and I never caught the other chaps name but both so nice, friendly, and Sonny has quite a sense of humour 🙂 love the tapas portions, just perfect...

A fantastic new restaurant. Food was amazing and customer service first class. We were there to celebrate my Aunts birthday and all the staff sang happy birthday to her and made a nice fuss of her. I highly recommend this lovely new asset to the...

Amazing ! It was our first visit yesterday afternoon and we were first in the door at 4 o clock, first impression was positive and we had very attentive waiting staff, the food menu and portion sizes were explained to us as this is tapas...

We were excited to try, like other reviewers mentioned. Welcome was poor, left standing at door next to table of diners. Food served lukewarm and bland despite promises of Mother India chef. Lacking flavour and authenticity. Tiny portions, ok it's tapas but still - tiny....

What a wonderful dining experience. Indian food is not my usual ‘go to’ when eating out, but then, Brown Munde is not your usual Indian Restaurant. The tapas style food, beautifully cooked is a delight. The flavours and textures are delicious. I had the spiced...

We arrived 15 mins early and were warmly greeted and seated with no complications. Drink orders were quickly taken and served. The portions were decent for the price and highly recommendable. The service was impeccable and a small nod (and tip) to the young waitress...

Out for a family meal 6 of us , food was outstanding everything was delicious and hot on arrival to table, good vibe in the restaurant, staff all friendly, can’t wait to go back .

Absolute outstanding meal . Food and service first class 👌 first time and won't be out last ..... very warm and welcoming staff

Great to see a quality restaurant back in Kilmarnock. Tapas style food was delicious, particularly the lamb. The lamb chops were delicious. The staff could not have been more attentive. Will definitely be back on a regular basis.

Great idea for changing up the way we usually order and eat Indian food. Tapas style gives the opportunity to try things you may not normally order. Quality is top notch and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about their product. BIG Thumbs up

Food is exceptional! Defo worth a visit and not to be missed.. I recommend the Spiced Haddock and Lamb saag.. Naan is light crisp and charred to perfection.. Rice is fragrant and fluffy and the desserts hit that sweet spot you crave after all that...

Second time in Brown Munde this time with family from Glasgow. They were surprised and delighted that Kilmarnock had a restaurant that excelled. A few "best I've ever tasted" littered the conversation. Myself and my wife, whose birthday it was, felt it reflected our first...

Having tried "three idiots" their sister venue I wasn't disappointed at all. The freshest and best Indian tapa you've ever had. Attentive staff, great atmosphere. My heart and belly was full.

Food was delicious from start to finis and service impeccable. The Bombay bicycle beer was a treat. Will definitely be back with the rest of my family.

Excellent food -all the tapas dishes we had were tasty and freshly made. Nan bread was excellent. Restaurant was very nicely done up and welcoming. Great visit and will definitely be back.

We had take out last night from here. The food was tasty and fresh. There’s a great choice for vegetarians and vegans. This was by far the best Indian meal either of us have had in a long time. We will definitely be back.

Been twice for a collection, but won’t be a third. First time I preordered but still had to wait 20 minutes at the bar, got it home, no naan bread. I put this down to teething problems. Second time, another 20 minute wait despite again...
