Chapter & Verse in Angus

A family get together, 21 of us, without preordering our food must have been a challenge but one that was achieved pretty well in my view. The team were lovely, friendly and efficient. Food, mains and starters arrived quickly and was piping hot, certainly hadn’t been sitting around in the kitchen before being bought to the table. Only two things I’d mention, the batter on the fish and chips was a bit greasy/ not crispy however the fish was beautiful and secondly two of our group are Coeliac so a few more Gluten free options would have been great. The Thali though deserves a special mention, it had been recommended and it lived up to expectations. This is definitely worth a visit, really varied menu, good service with a good ambiance, if we didn’t live over 400 miles away we would certainly be back.

Sur les conseils de notre hôte, nous sommes allées dans ce restaurant. Deco plutôt simple mais confortable. Accueil, je dirais sobre… serveurs charmants. Mais alors, cuisine indienne absolument délicieuse !!! Un vrai régal. Méfiez vous du nan qui est énorme mais délicieux. Vraiment un très bon restaurant

Very busy, fully booked restaurant meant we had to wait about an hour for our starters. Mains arrived swiftly after we had finished the starters. The food. The crispy garlic chicken was delicious as were the curries. I had the Lamb sizzling platter, and the lamb was a bit tough and tasteless. That is the only complaint we had. Nice staff. Will return.

Lovely restaurant. Staff very friendly and food amazing and not too expensive. Will absolutely be back. Highly recommend the fajitas.

Took some family here because of the varied menu choices. Was not disappointed with the food. Everyone could find something they liked and we all enjoyed the food and had a very relaxed family meal. The staff were great and attentive without being at the table every five minites. Really enjoyed the visit and will be visiting again for a meal with friends next time.

Have driven past many and their lunch special deal which is advertised outside intrigued us in. The staff were friendly and service was good. Macaroni cheese can be highly recommended. Will definitely return next time in the evening as the menu has a lot to offer snd is priced very reasonable.

Fantastic food and friendly staff. Homemade and piping hot food. Managed to Seat is at short notice as The Royal Up The road had no vegetarian option.

Had food delivered was not impressed macaroni was stodgy chips weren't French fries, fish batter was soggy. Desert Cheese cake was nice but the cream was off it was curdled won't be recommending very poor.

Order fish and chips when it came I noticed the fish was half a fillet not a fillet of fish what supposed to be available on menu also it came with twelve chips on the plate was not worth 1650 that I paid for

Great food reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

Food very bland Pakora sauce, not good. Tasted like yoghurt Over cooked chicken. Curry sauce was very poor, very lumpy with no taste Garlic Nan was quite good Chicken fajitas.....6/10....not proper salsa Waiting staff.....friendly Table booked for 5pm....started our main course at 6.20. To many items on the menu to specialise. Decor reminds me of a funeral parlour Overall.....won't be back.........4/10

Was staying in Forfar for weekend. Came on Friday night - excellent meal and wonderful friendly service - so much, that came back again on Sunday! Friday's beef - excellent - Sunday's pork - even better! Pricing very reasonable for top quality food!

Fantastic food as always. Service could be improved by more experienced staff. Bit surprised when bill was placed on table whilst we were still eating dessert. Guess we weren’t getting coffee 😂😂😂😂 Will still be back

The staff was always so kind and the food was delicious. Besides, we were looking for gluten free options and they informed us without hesitation. Definitely a comfy place to eat.

Long wait for service but food good

Ordered delivery with time slot so family was all home to enjoy the food together.. it arrived 30 mins early!! When phoned restaurant was asked what i wanted them to do about it and blamed it on delivery driver!! Time slots are available for a reason…

Excellent food & service, will definitely be back!

Outstanding curry. This is a Scottish-style restaurant rather than a curry house, and serves good-looking Western food, but the curries are exceptional - authentic, tasty and perfectly cooked. I'm a curry snob but my Thali was superb and was far better than many traditional Indian restaurants. Give it a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed

A group of8 went for lunch on saturday the service was alert and cheery the food was very good and outstanding value needless to say I will return

Had a lovely experience at this restaurant. (6/04/24) The food was excellent and the offer in variety of dishes superb. The service was fast and efficient. The girls did an amazing job. Excellent waitressing with a smile and a friendly approach. Well Done Chapter and Verse. You've got it finely tuned to give your customers an excellent dining experience. Will definitely come back again and highly recommend to others.

Had a very tasty 50/50 Pizza tonight. 👌👌👌👌👌

A friend and I went on a wet day, unfortunately the place was empty but the service and food was great and we enjoyed a quiet catch up. We both had chicken burgers, a massive plateful with chips, salad, coleslaw and the crispiest onion rings ever! My friend had cheesecake and I had sticky toffee pudding in the 2 course special. Food was piping hot and excellent value, we will be back 😀

Other than a warm welcome, and a similar exit, our experience was left wanting to say the least. For a place that came highly recommended (also the only place open in forfar at 8.30pm), we were disappointed to see the head chef nip over the road to the takeaway for the brace of pizzas we ordered. Although we are capable of tackling a takeaway we paid premium price for a subpremium pizza. Didn't anticipate a manager coming in drunk and tearing the young barman a new one however that all added to the experience... "dinner and a show" I believe they call it. Will round it up there as I don't want to write a chapter or verse about this.

We had a great experience here on Friday evening for my Mums 70th Birthday meal, Food was great and atmosphere was very peaceful and pleasant. Staff were very professional and let us stay beyond closing time in order for us to finish our celebrations. I would highly recommend Chapter & Verse. A+++

The food was alright but not very friendly or helpful staff. My glass of wine was not chilled enough and I seriously did not want to drink it. Was told that it was chilled and shown the bottle taken out of the fridge. That didn’t really help so was told i could have ice cubes. So I drank a watery slightly colder glass of wine. That was not exactly what I wanted. Won’t be going back.

Food is always good here, and the staff are always great too! Nice atmosphere and the owner/manager is lovely. Staff are professional but know how to have a laugh as well which is always welcome! Hard working people. Always a winner. Quick mention for the waitress who's there every time my partner and I are in (blonde long hair, possibly eastern European origin) who is always a joy to see working. Perfect waitress! Thank you.

Had beautiful meal there today. Now my favourite place to go. Food amazing id new York style chicken burger and the chicken fillet was cooked to perfection. Other half had lasagne which he thoroughly enjoyed. He even commented first time I've seen you clear a plate. Not long to wait either really for meals

Tried a takeaway from here for first time. It's the best food I have had in a long time. I have never had food in the restaurant but always looks nice inside, I would definitely return for a meal. Delivery was also quick. Portion sizes are very good, It is the best in forfar. Edit, Had a meal in chapter and verse tonight and was brilliant. Staff are friendly and food was great, there is a good selection in the menu. would highly recommend.

Had a fantastic birthday meal, staff were very helpful and friendly, a nice welcome and chef/owner Ali makes an excellent curry, thank you

I took my girlfriend out last year for lunch I phoned at lunchtime to book a table the staff were very polite and the food was good and a reasonable price and plus theres a wide variety on the menu and to drink will definitely be back

Really nice lunch today - first time in Chapter and Verse as we're new to the area and popped out at lunchtime for a quick bite. Meat chilli was really nice and not at all greasy. Vegetable thali was a delight also, with well thought out and nicely spiced dishes and a freshly made chapati. There's a good selection of dishes here and we'll be back to sample more. Nicely set out restaurant with a lovely bar, friendly staff and good service. Well worth a trip.

I highly recommend this restaurant. They are not only friendly and attentive but they also made sure to cater to any food restrictions/allergies. I felt welcomed and valued as a patron. (The venison was so tender and the sauce complimented it perfectly)

A delicious Christmas lunch! Lovely atmosphere, great food and attentive staff. A real treat! The Indian food is also excellent, will look forward to our next visit. Well done again guys!!!

Enjoyed a solo trip for a late lunch. Mixed fajitas were sizzling when they arrived and remained hot throughout. Seasoned deliciously. Classic pudding - Sticky Toffee Pudding was beautiful. Hot and served with ice cream and plenty of Toffee sauce. Latte to finish it off. Friendly staff. Checked back adequately. I'll be back.

Very good food at a good price. The choice from the menu we found exceptional. Ended up going for a mixed tandoori and it was one of the best i've had. Recommended.

Quite disappointing Christmas menu, everything was overcooked and flavourless

Table of six everybody enjoyed the meal

The Food wasn’t to bad but waited 40-45 minutes for a prawn cocktail and a portion of battered mushrooms

Great menu, and brilliant delivery service,

The food is fab here. I had jumbo chicken goujons which were freshly cooked delightfully soft real chicken. The veg was absolutely fresh not frozen. The chips however were not freshly chopped but they were OK.. The steak pie is awesome too The service is really nice too. The restaurant is very nice inside. If you are in a hurry it may not suit because food is cooked to order. But very comfortable to sit and wait anyway. The price is really good value for money too.

A wonderful meal from Ali and excellent service from his staff. Keep up the good work. We will be seeing you again and would certainly recommend it and have done friends and family.

Got a takeaway excellent size portions and very tasty food would definitely reccomend

Exceptionally poor service, and extremely slow. 1 hour wait between ordering and food being served. Quality of food however was good. 1 week on and decided to try a takeaway and yet the same again. Ordered online and given a time of about 30min, received a call to say order would be a further 30 min. Went In To collect and yet still waiting 1.45minutes after ordering. Certainly won't be back and wouldn't recommend unless your in no hurry. Very disappointed

This restaurant is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner date with family or friends, or for a more formal lunch or dinner. It's well laid out, spacious & clean. The food is of a high standard, always very tasty & well presented. The staff are fabulous & very efficient, polite & well mannered. The restaurant is situated in a perfect central location. The curry's are absolutely gorgeous, also sticky honey, garlic chicken is devine.

Waitress/ manageress, was very rude, we used this restaurant every time we visited forfar, i can assure you we will not return, I have never experienced this before, very poor show.

ABSOLUTELY APPALLED!!! VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. Booked into Chapter and Verse 1.30. 22nd September 23. Under name of Mrs Malcolm. Explained mobility scooters. Arrived there today for special 80th birthday meal. Was told should have phoned and explained re scooters !! I did ! Waitress taking drinks order did not know any of beers available. Had to keep of checking. Other waitress came to take orders. (4 adults) She was quite abrupt. Firstly when showing us to our seats, just pointed a said sit there! When taking our order she was abrupt and not giving us the opportunity to ask her questions. My husband, said in a very nice manner, can you please stop being so abrupt when speaking to us, allow us to discuss our choices with you, as we are the customers and you are here to take our orders. She went away, and when she returned asked us to leave. My husband asked to speak to the manager, and the waitress said she was the manager. We left our drinks and left the restaurant. We are 4 people age ranging 66 upwards. We were appalled by our treatment. This was a special organised 80th birthday meal. We would have spent over £150 with the wine, drinks and meals. Totally disgusted. Been there on many occasions but will never return. And we will pass our experiences to other friends who when staying at Forfar caravan site, of our bad experience with this restaurant. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE.

Excellent dinner at chapter and verse in Forfar. Wide range of choices on the menu as well as great service in a friendly environment. Will be back!

Great menu, lovely food, staff friendly and attentive, very reasonably price. Would highly recommend 😁

Staff very pleasant . Lovely food, well priced

Excellent all round. Very Clean. Staff are very pleasant. Food is very tasty and the portions sizes are good. Excellent range of drinks (soft and alcoholic are both available) Very busy, so recommend booking table. Would I go back again? Most definitely!

Haven't been in for a number of years due to moving from the area. Extensive and varied menu. One of us had breaded Haddock and the other roast Sirloin of Beef. Both meals had generous portions, and both dishes were delicious and modestly priced. I would thoroughly recommend Chapter and Verse to you.

We arrived late for our booking but staff welcomed us .Food was delicious and could have not been nicer .Looking forward to our next visit. Helen Anderson

Great food. The best Lamb Rogan Josh I've tasted in a long time!

Tried the dinner Thali last night absolutely wonderful. Three meat curries one vegetable curry. Plus a very good naan. Chicken fillet starter with salad all served on a platter. Give it a go. Well done Ali the whole meal was great. The staff are so pleasant ands friendly and attentive- one of the few places that ask if your meal is ok.

Food was ok, wasn't too busy but took about an hour for starters to come out. We arrived without booking and it clearly annoyed the staff. Kids ended up very restless due to the amount of wait between courses

Food was great. Only about food was the actual serving we had ordered 8 puddings and they came in 3 lots. Everyone was finished but the time the last 2 puddings came. One staff member wasn't friendly but was efficient- barely cracked a smile. The actual waitress for our table was lovely and friendly and happy to take a photo for us. Mu hubby is picky with hot chocolates - he had 2 and they were both excellent.

Take away from here, was awful, garlic bread uncooked, prawn cocktail all watery and chicken dopiaza bland and watery, disgusting

I had the vegetable curry with Nan bread. They have several currys to choose from, and the one I had was excellent and had just the right amount of spice. The nan bread was great too. I highly recommend dinner here when in or passing through Forfar

My husband and I ordered curry with nan break, salad and garlic bread. Doesn’t sound like a ton of food for 2 people, but we had to box half of it up! Large portions and amazing food. Thankful we have another evening to enjoy the food!

Visited with my in laws who live locally. It was a Saturday night and they were fairly busy so the service was very slow and we had to wait an hour to get our starters. Thankfully we didn’t had so long to wait on our me starters and deserts. Overall nice food and generous portions recommend a visit.

9/10 dishes are spot on. Plenty of choice on food and drinks. Also fab for a take away, nice to have more home style as a delivery.

Lovely place. Great food and portions

WOW, WOW, WOW. What a fantastic food experience. Went last night with my husband, daughter and son in law. The staff were lovely, attentive and very friendly. The food was fantastic. I started with chicken pakoras, so soft and flavoursome, then spicy garlic chicken masala, stunning and the chicken so tender it just melted in your mouth, the keema nan was lush. Was stuffed after that but, there's always room for desert, had the Bailey's cheesecake, the lightest I have every had. My husband had the sticky toffee pudding which he said was the best he has ever had. Altogether a brilliant wee gem of a place.

Take away…!!! Chicken Fajita’s Absolutely F…… disgusting not the first time either, definitely the last time, sorry to say

Came here last Friday ordered Gammon steak paid to have fried egg and pineapple and only recieved the pineapple, gammon was very dry and burnt. Also i ordered an apple pie i asked about allergies as i am lactose intorent and i also told the...

Most amazing place to eat out caters for everyone great big portions can't wait to go back

Family visit , range of British and Asian dishes . Curries were amazing, best Paratha we have ever eaten . Would definitely recommend and will return when we next visit . 👍

Really enjoyed our visit and the food was excellent. Had a small issue with drinks when our orders were lost in translation, other than that it was perfect If you like Indian food, this is for you but if you don’t there is a large...

The food is to die for especially the sticky toffee pudding, the staff are nice and welcoming and the atmosphere is nice but it does vary depending on the customers

Meal was ok got colossus burger but was disappointed to be informed as the placed it on table that there was no black pudding so put extra bacon on instead, would have preferred it if they had informed me of this before hand as burger...

Visired here with my sister today and cannot fault the place in the slightest! The food was delicious, generous portions and good prices too! The lady serving us was polite friendly and helpful! Will definately be back!

Party of four for a quick Sunday late lunch, early dinner. There is plenty of choice and a good and friendly service.

Busy place ,a bit of a wait but was worth it.

Very slow service owner Very rude staff can't remember if u have payed for drinks all in all would not go back again

The choice is staggering. Great food & first class service

Great service extensive menu . Table for4 brilliant prices,only downside is the gammon steak paper thin and bone dry apart from that a great meal

Not impressed with the service, one girl doing all the work tables uncleared desserts took ages to arrive and prices not cheap, won't be visiting this restaurant again any time soon, very dissatisfied.

Awful. The service was nonexistent. We were shown to a table and ignored. We waited for five minutes then had to ask for a menu. We were allowed to order drinks, but after another thirty minutes no one came back to take our food order. This was despite three waiting staff standing near the bar. They walked around trying to look busy. Finally we got up, slowly put our coats on and walked out. We passed a couple of staff members and no one said a word to us.

Had a really tasty meal last night. Great menu here. Would recommend a visit.

Went for our hogmanay meal my wife's was fin my tea was not that great potato was hard sprouts were the same it said on the menu if you were a senior u would get a discount when I asked about this this 14 year old girl came over and said I hear u have an issue in front of other customers I have never felt so humiliated in my life I paid the bill but will not be back when I phoned I was not asked if I was a senior

Had a Xmas lunch here and what can we say but “WOW”! Fantastic food and fantastic staff! A****** Was a great start to our Polar Express Visit

Food was very nice, menu could have had more choice, staff very pleasant and reasonably priced.

This place is a little gem..food was amazing

Excellent meal yesterday. Very good gluten free options. Very good value for money. Will definitely be back. Great service

Lovely restaurant with very varied menu - would suit most tastes. We were a table of six and picked from all parts of the menu and all the various dishes arrived at the table at the same time. Very good organisation by the chefs and...

Extraordinary service, staff are so friendly. Amazing food as always, and can't beat the value for money. Ali serves up the best curries I have ever tasted. I would give 10 stars to this fantastic place if I could.

Have not been here for years but we've heard about the excellent menu including Indian Cuisine that's on offer. We chanced it and didn't book. Quick and simple staff were attentive, Cokes all round and ordered Food. Mac and cheese Battered Jumbo Chicken Goujons Cajun Chicken Fajita (Baguette) All dishes came with the ubiquitous chips but the goujons and mac also came with peas and carrots. Hot! Totally tasty and satisfying, I can't describe it beyond this statement. EXCELLENT! Definitely will be visiting again, looking to have a curry dish👍🏼

Amazing food and friendly staff! Cant wait to go back soon! :)

After having such an awesome meal (reshmi chicken makhani masala) on Sunday, I decided to return to on Tuesday and to try something completely different ordering the chef's spicy sharing platter for 2, and battered haddock, which is served with lovely fresh vegetables, and sweet potato fries - I have to say I was not disappointed, the food was so fresh and cooked to perfection. Every small detail taken care of and all tasted exceptional. The whole experience of Chapter and Verse was thoroughly enjoyable with a very friendly happy and helpful staff who added to making a wonderful evening each time. Here for 7 days from England, and I will be returning again before I leave as I can't think of better place to eat.

I am in Scotland visiting from England, we found Chapter & Verse through Google. I had Makhani Masala with Chicken Reshmi (you get a choice of meats, or Vegetable) with a freshly cooked Peshwari Naan, and it really was fresh! The curry was absolutely amazing, it hands down beats any curry I've personally had, which is a fair few! We all returned again for a second time a few days later to try something else, I had the 6oz Classic Cheese Burger, which again was perfect, and again was met with a friendly and reassuring service. Once again, the team at Chapter & Verse are amazing and friendly, the chef included, as he made sure we had enjoyed our meal on our second visit to eat there, and now we've booked a table for seven, which I look forward to.

We visited Chapter and Verse for dinner when we stayed at a local campsite. The service was perfect, all the staff are really friendly. A huge selection of alcohol to choose from (the Edinburgh Plum Gin is delicious!). The food portions were generous and also...

Went in for my 59th birthday. My daughter ordered a main of Chicken Tikka Masala, with a garlic nan. She absolutely loved it. She's had it before. Only comment on that is that the nan was so thin it was actually crunchy, and so thin you could almost see through it. That is the God's honest truth. I on the other hand ordered Lasagne, and till hungry. couldn't wait I haven't had Lasagne out in a long time. Biggest let down ever. I was so, so disappointed. The portion was absolutely tiny. A small shallow dish, not much more than an inch or so deep. No layers at all. In all my years of eating out, that is the smallest portion I have ever had by a country mile if I got a dozen or so chips, a spoonful of carrots. It was supposed to have salad, there was a pinch, honestly it was ridiculous. I had starved myself all day and I was still hungry. I'm not a huge eater. We both had a sweet. My daughter ordered Sticky Toffee pudding I think which looked lovely Small portion of course. I ordered what I thought was the most filling thing on the menu. Apple Pie and Custard. It was in a very small plate, and as usual not enough custard Couldn't wait to get stuck in. I was still hungry. OMG it was so hot it burnt my mouth really, really badly, The pastry was soggy, and obviously microwaved. No I didn't complain at the time for a reason that happened when we were there. Don't want to say but, it wasn't a bad thing. I'd give you 21/2 stars for my daughters meal, even for the nan that was so thin you could almost see through it. It was so thin it was crunchy like a pompidou. Mines was a huge let down. They have obviously cut back on portion sizes and kept the prices the same. I hope I came in on a bad night, as I would like to try somewhere else.. maybe a delivery carry out.I would like to hear from the owners. I don't want to hear what other people think, I just want to hear about my experience. Believe it or not haha . I'm not a complainer . I've never done anything like this before. I have given my comments openly and honestly.

Lovely restaurant, 1st visit and brought my in-laws for lunch. Food was lovely and a good menu range. Fantastic service by the young lady.

Great selection of Indian , British and Italian meals. All cooked fresh and the food is excellent. Friendly staff and very reasonably priced. This restaurant is a must visit place. Food is still excellent, service brilliant still. Visited many times and always great.

Absolutely huge & varied choice on the menu - decent portion sizes too. Service was excellent as well, will definitely visit again

Personeel niet geïnteresseerd onpersoonlijk Eten was lekker maar simpel en matig kwa kwaliteit als je het vergelijkt met andere restaurants en bars

Excellent food,we had Indian,staff fantastic.

Lovely place and food was beautiful

Brilliant food and lovely staff

Really enjoyed our meal tonight. The service was so friendly, and we were made to feel so welcome. Food was good, and we will certainly return next time we are in Forfar. Disabled facilities not brilliant due to the fact that the restaurant is located in an old traditional building, but the staff were great and went out of their way to assist my wife, who needs a wee bit help with mobility. Well done to all! 👏👏👏
