Essence Of India in Highland

We were visiting Ullapool for one night in our campervan, had a few drinks at the seaforth hotel and ordered a takeaway for collection on our way to the campsite. Absolutely first class, fresh, tasty, portion size etc.Chicken garlic and a chicken pathia, Nan bread, chips, mushroom rice, poppadums and dips. Top notch food!!!!!

This is our nearest Indian takeaway (Over 2hr drive round trip) and in our view was well worth the trip. The food was very tasty and we both thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal. We will definitely order again.

Two takeaways while we were staying locally. Great food, well presented and not too greasy! Watch out - spicier than some we’ve tried! NB only take cash!

I thought from the previous reviews the food would be a little underwhelming. However we were surprised at how different all the dishes were! They were all exactly as described in the menu (not always the case) and the rice and naans were cooked and flavoured perfectly.We were very content with the food and would happily come back here!

Fantastic tasty Indian food. Absolute gem of a takeaway. We could smell it from down the street and have yo try it. The food was delicious.

These guys were good. Have lived in / around Leicester for 20 years and this place was at least comparable.Not sure about the “watery curry” reviews but had no problems ourselves.Let’s face it... you want curry in the Scottish highlands... not sure what you expect; very decent curry is what we got.

Tried to order one night for collection, was told it would take 1 hour and 40 minutes so decided to order the next night In advance instead. Hands down the worst curry I’ve ever had. Ordered a madras.. just seemed like spiced water.

As a regular eater of Indian curries in east London (and an experienced curry cook myself), I can quite honest say that this is the best curry I've had the pleasure of wolfing down in a long long time. The lamb in the curry was tender and not dry, its dansak sauce was rich and had the right balance of pineapple sweetness. My partner's keema potato curry was a new culinary delight, with tender chunks of minced beef in a rich gravy alongside chunks of spuds. The naans were a little thick for my personal liking but were cooked well and seasoned properly with coconut, and garlic respectively. A little expensive but the portions are big enough for two and the quality of food and the expertise in cooking are really worth it. Just watch out for the midges who will eat you alive while you wait outside. Cash only.

Takeaway only at present which was lovely. Am always wary of ordering curry in tourist places as the restaurants often cater to the sense that tourists have bland tastes. However the Essence provides tasty, flavoursome and when appropriate spicy food.

Mohamed and Ovi are great hosts, and their food is even better, when Mo is cooking the food is superb, you won’t be disappointed but phone early or go in early and preorder, because they can be busy. Best thing to do is go and order, then go to the arch inn for a pint while your waiting, oh and by the way, the restaurant is take your own bottle

Had a very nice meal here, food was freshly cooked and lovely. No alcohol is sold here but you can bring your own in from the Tesco up the road

After just arriving in Ullapool and both of us starving from a long drive and a missed lunch we decided to try Essence of India. It was quite good, interesting flavors, not like we are use to, but very good.We stopped in early, they had just opened, time was around 5:00. Place was empty, so no problem with finding a table and the service was fine.My partner and I are both vegetarian, and Ullapool offers limited non meat restaurants and the pizza place was closed until later that evening.We ordered 3 side dishes, the spelling of the dishes was very different from what we are use to, ordering Motor Ponair, Chana Masala, and Paneer Mahkani with Basmati rice. Each side dish was £4.95 and the rice was £2.95. Total meal for us was £18.The Motor Ponair had a yellow base sauce that was very fresh tasting, small pieces of cheese, had a light curry flavor and a bite to the dish. The Chana Masala had a red tomato base with the chickpeas and a light curry flavor but a bit hotter. The Paneer Makhani had a yellow base sauce, a coconut milk flavor, small pieces of Paneer, a light curry flavor and mild heat. The rice was fine.The flavors were fine for us, again not what we were expecting but interesting still. The regions of India all cook different, this meal was a treat.Service was fine.

This is the worst Indian restaurant I have ever tried in my life, if I could rate no stars I would! Firstly we entered and asked for a table for 2 however we were told that it would be a 30 minute wait, which is completely fine so we therefore decided to order takeout instead. We ordered 2 curry’s, chicken pakora, nan bread, fried rice and chips! We were told it would be a 30 minute wait for a take away order however we waited 1 hour and 10 minutes. Not only this but we paid £30 and received no naan bread. The curry’s were bland and greasy as was the rice, we received 3 bits of chicken pakora with the tiniest bit of chicken surrounded by lots of inedible greasy batter. The food was inedible and a waste of money I wouldn’t feed my dog this meal. The front of house of house was rude and unhelpful! Overall I would save your money and go else where!

We had a lovely meal here, very tasty food and good portions. Would recommend this place to others. Take cash as they don't accept card payments and if you want a beer with your meal, take this along with you aswell. Both of these were no bother for us.

Ordered a takeaway meal for myself and wife and have to say while we enjoyed the meal 4 stars it proved to be quite expensive for what we got, two mains a single rice and a single nan bread for the best part if £30.00.

Had a meal here to finish off a day of activity round Ullapool. Saturday tea time. Very quiet, nice freshly cooked food and reasonably priced.

A strange place really. No license for alcohol and have to pay cash but not really a problem. Food pretty good but was certainly not 'medium' as described on the menu - was very hot indeed. Some of the waiters didn't seem very happy in their work either.

Two people trying to manage a very busy place. No / rude response for servers. Really uninviting ambience. I went there only because of my mother’s dietary restrictions. No recommended at all.

I came across this restaurant by accident whilst looking for an early dinner on a recent visit to the town.I ate Tandoori Mixed Grill and a naan bread.The cooking was outstanding ,the portions generous ,the service was attentive whilst not being intrusive.They are not licensed so I drank a fruit juice with the meal.Highly recommended

Das Lokal hat den Charme einer Kantine...na gut, keine alkoholischen Getränke...Naa guut.

The food was so simple and HD like three pieces of lamb in a tasteless gravy but yet they charge 11 £

Yes the staff are as bland as the interior inside but after a few days of ‘roughing it’ this restaurant was right up our street! Delicious tikka masala, mushroom rice and mixed grill on the side - we were both very satisfied. Bottle wine from the Tesco around the corner (which also has an ATM) back to to the tent with a full belly and high spirits! Deal done!

Having walked around town and looked at all the eateries we decided that we fancied a curry. Checked out the reviews and saw that the Essence of India did not serve alcohol but you could bring your own. Purchased a bottle of wine from the nearby Tesco then headed for the restaurant. We got there at about 1730hrs on a Saturday night in June 2019. Fairly uninspiring setting and it was fairly quiet with those eating in, but there were quite a few takeaways being dished out. Friendly enough staff. I ordered a Keenan chili pea chicken/lamb curry with pilaf rice and my wife had a chicken tikka masala with a nan bread to share. Both the curries were excellent and served in good time. Only cash accepted. Would definitely dine there again.

We ate here after many of the other restaurants in Ullapool were full. We were a bit surprised that they didn't service alcohol but you can bring your own so, sure, we brought our own.

We arrived having had to change our reservation for an hour later but with two hours notice. There wasn’t a table ready however quite a few were empty but unprepared so we waited. Unfortunately a table had been prepared for us but nobody told us for about 15 minutes and this was the main theme throughout the evening...wrong amount of popadoms served, difference immediately bought but put on the table next to us and before we could grab them, another waiter was taking them away...comical really.

I've eaten here and made use of their takeaway service any number of times. The food is always excellent and full of flavour. Damn! That cham cham chicken is good!

We called in on a very busy night. Fine no tables. We’ll have a takeaway. At that point the guy was downright rude & dismissive. It’ll be 40 minutes maybe 60. Go to the pub and call back. Bye bye.

Comfortable, clean, with a nice menu choice. I rarely eat Indian food these days even though I do like it. It had all got a bit the same, but this restaurant offered a different taste and dishes. Glad we gave it a go. The staff could do with a course at the Scottish School of Charm, although the local laddie was great and the only one with a smile.

We came here hoping for a nice meal and couldn’t have been more disappointed. We endured an excessively long wait for our food but placated ourselves with hopes of what was to come! The waiter finally arrived with some barely warm plates, maybe a sign that food was soon to come? Not! By the time the food did arrive the plates were cold again and the food was very poor value! 12 quid for a runny madras sauce co gaining 8 extremely small morsels of lamb! We pointed out that this was unacceptable value and his response was a dismissive shrug! How disrespectful?! Walking out was the only option! Not a pleasant experience at all! Avoid at all costs!!

Waited 90 minutes for our meal and then the 2 lamb dishes arrived containing 8 pieces of meat swimming in thin sauce. Charging £11.95. When we complained the waiter shrugged his shoulders and said “I know”. Unbelievable and unacceptable. We walked out. Clearly hoping that passing trade means that you can serve poor quality food and nobody cares. Avoid.

We had really very good food and enjoyed it very much. Different dishes with chicken, lamb and vegetables with different spices, hot and medium hot.

A Ullapool, capitale delle Highlands, ci siamo concessi questo ristorante indiano "per cambiare".

Was staying at Broomfield Holiday Park so this is really handy at the entrance. Got a carry out, had to wait for about 40 minutes although the restaurant was very quiet. Seemed a long time as we only ordered nibbles like Pakora, and other starters. Food quite greasy, dipping sauce had wierd taste, not impressed.

Wonderful, busy, great atmosphere and incredible food. Great value too!

Visited the first week in May, we knew we had to take our own alcohol, others that night were unaware of the No License theme and no card payments. The restaurant is quite simple and pleasant, however service was very slow, we waited about half an hour for our starters and over an hour for the mains, food was good but nothing special. Only one gents toilet for a restaurant of this size isn't great.

Meanwhile... Waiting over an hour and a half for our dinner. And we weren't the only ones in the same situation. Not even 1 star

I did not expect to find an Indian restaurant in Ullapool but this one would be outstanding wherever it was located - I actually went twice. The food is exceptionally good and the menu has all the old favourites as well as some dishes that were new to me. Service was good and everything served hot and fresh by helpful staff.

I stopped in here for dinner, albeit early so I was the first one in. The building looks a bit like a glorified Portacabin from the outside and two notices hit you forcibly before you go in - NO CARDS (!) and No License. I found the food to be OK, but nothing to rave about. I had a special mixed dish which tasted a bit bland. Service was efficiently pleasant.

Cannot believe the lengths these guys go to make you feel at home!!

We thought we’d ring and book a table as it was a Friday night and thought it was be busy.... how wrong were we...

Never thought I would find an Indian restaurant this far up the west coast. As we were staying just the 1 night I had to try it out. Not disappointing and really enjoyed our meal

We were recommended this place by the nearby Arch Inn. Not your typical Indian menu which was a nice surprise. Great flavours and BYOB.

It was a good idea to go to this Indian restaurant. There are plenty of different dishes on the menu and the staff is very helpful and very skilled - they can explain the dishes, the ingredients etc. Good value for money.

Really good curry-veg pakora, chilli paneer, Peshawari chicken and shashlik, pilau rice and great naans. All delicious and very reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in Ullapool.

The restaurant is a bit basic on the inside and the waiter was not a happy soul but the meal and the quantity could not be faulted. I would happily eat there again so has my recommendation.

We were staying locally for the night and I really fancied Indian food. We ordered two takeaway jalfrezi, having travelled all day just needed to eat and have an early night. They were very quick with the order. The food was so good, quite literally the best jalfrezi I’ve had in a long while! We find that some restaurants do tend to ‘tone down’ the spices, but not this one. Wonderful balance of flavours this chef certainly knows what he’s doing. Looking forward to our next trip!

This was a surprise. Pauline, the owner of Ladysmith Guest House suggested it to us and off we went. Menu is expansive so tough to make decisions about what to eat. Choose veggie samosa for starter and then Cham Cham Lamb, and Peshwari Chicken, all which were excellent. And the Garlic Naan disappeared quickly. Also the price was really reasonable for such a great meal.

we enjoyed a take away from this restaurant. There was a really good variety of delicious choices. As a vegan there was plenty for me to choose from. I can reccommend the spinach rice, mushroom rogan josh and mushroom pakora, really good.

Came on a Monday night and were seated without any issues.

A great Indian restaurant in Ullapool. Who would have thought? It is however very true. After checking out the last few reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to book up. 9 out of 10 were very good with one terrible, clearly someone had had a bad day! "Table for six at 9.00 pm please" I asked. "It will have to be 8.30 if that's ok as we are very busy". Well that sounded good. Knowing that the restaurant was unlicensed, we took some wine and couple of beers to keep us going (no corkage is charged). Soft drinks are available to purchase. The menu was excellent with lots of different Chef's Specials plus all your regular favourites. The service was excellent all the way through. There was also a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. When the food arrived it looked fab. Well presented and good size portions but not ridiculous. My Cham Cham chicken was delicious and I'd never heard of it/tasted it before in my life. Everyone enjoyed their meals and there was little left on our plates for the staff to clear away or take home in their doggy bags. All in all a really good experience.

Let’s not get confused here. The food is exquisite. But there are flaws. I had sheesh kabab and then the mix of meats. The prawn was large and beautiful...but just the one. The chicken very good but the lamb was, I felt overexposed to heat.

I ordered my meal and the main course was extremely hot. I couldn't eat it and asked for it to cooled. The waiter was extremely rude and I decided I didn't want him handling my food at all. I asked for the manager and he accussed me of refusing the food to save money, I have never been so insulted in my life. I left three times the cost of the meal which is maybe why the restaurant continues to trade.

Well..when we got the food it was very tasty well seasoned and plenty of it for your money I can’t fault that. Sadly the front of staff let it down. Yes it was busy and we had to wait for a table. Just wish they had been a bit more realistic on the wait time not sure that we were in a hurry. If your happy to wait though well worth it.

This place doesn't seem too good when first entering - a plain simple dining room and no alcohol served. However it more than makes up for this by serving superb food and good portions. All our meals were excellent. There is no alcohol licence so you will need to plan ahead and bring your own alcohol, if you want a drink. However, this does reduce the overall cost.

We had our evening meal here during our one nigh stay in Ullapool, and would say the meal was very nice.

We dined here during our stay at Broomfield Holiday Park as this restaurant is just outside the park entrance. It doesn't have a table licence so bringing your own wine is acceptable. We were two couples and we all chose different dishes. No complaints from our table, each meal was enjoyed and prices were reasonable. Must do a good takeaway trade being so close to the campsite. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Given the overall rather mixed Tripadvisor reviews of Essence of India, we entered with trepidation. We were thus surprised by the excellence of the dishes we chose: Lamb Passanda and Chicken Korai. One of us declared that the Passanda was the best they had ever had. The Korai was also fine. The amount of meat in both dishes was generous, and the flavors were rich. The nan bread was very good. And the service was friendly. Yes, as many have pointed out, there is no alcohol served, but there is a Tesco nearby, and the restaurant charges no corkage fee. So your meal will cost less than it would if you paid restaurant prices for alcohol. It is also worth noting that, despite this being a tourist town, there were many local folks present, which is a testament to the underlying excellence of this restaurant. Finally, in view of some comments that the place is expensive, we find that it is not more expensive than the other restaurants we have dined at in tourist-oriented Ullapool. We shall certainly return when next in Ullapool.

Rien à sauver dans ce massacre culinaire. C'est la première fois que je descends un restaurant, mais là c'est trop... Le sucrier est tombé dans mon poulet korma. Le tika à été bombé au fluo...On boit de la limonade ou on apporte sa propre bouteille de bière. Et on attend une heure avant d'être servi. Faites un détour et allez manger un fish and chips sur le port...

We had read mixed reviews but gave it a whirl anyway. Glad we did! Had mixed special, chicken tikka patia (tastes like a korma ) and a chicken tikka masala all great. The fried rice has onions through it and was MAGIC! Naan great but smaller than Glasgow ones! We had a carry out so can’t comment on restaurant experience. Would definitely recommend.

In dit Restaurant kan je lekker Eten alleen als je een biertje of een wijntje wil hebben moet je die zelf meenemen dat mag wand ze hebben geen horeca vergunning de zaak is een beetje simpel maar het Eten is super

We had a lovely meal here, the food was excellent and The service was great.We like spicy curries and this was just to our liking.

Always like to try Indian food in new places I visit. First off there is no liquor licence and We nearly left but I'm glad we didn't. You can bring your own bottle .The food was totally delicious and very very close to the standard in Glasgow etc. Staff pleasant and very reasonable prices.

Just had a fabulous meal at Essence of India. The service was attentive and quick. Our food was delicious and huge por portions. We had a mixture of tasty starters and main courses. The Lamb Rogon Josh was juicy and just had the right amount of spice. The Chicken Rezala and creamy contrast. The Saag Alu was delicious and the lemon rice an real find! We ordered a farm made Ginger Beer which complimented our food really well. After the meal we felt so full, that we had to go for a beautiful walk to take in the views and sunset over the Summer Isles. Satisfied and warm it was a perfect evening. I would recommend this Indian where food is made on the premises on the spot.

We stayed at Broomfield Holiday. We went to Essance of India for our tea after arriving at the site after long journey. Ordered a korma with pilau rice and a nann bread. We got back to the site only to find we had no rice and the korma was the worst I have ever tasted it was far to sweet full of far to much coconut. This cost us £10.50 I would not recommend this takeaway to anyone

My wife and I ate in this restaurant last Wednesday evening. To be generous I would describe the food as average but ridiculously expensive for the quality.

Tiny portions, chicken pakora was simply (greasy) battered chicken with no flavour. Sauce was yogurt and mint which is only nice when cooling down spicy food. No need on this occasion as no spice in sight. Disappointing

Only got take away but how can you go so wrong with pakora ? It was tasteless, greasy and there were only 3 (in the mushroom pakora) and 4 (in the chicken pakora) I’ve had Indian food in many countries around the world and this is the worse attempt at pakora I’ve seen, even if they had a decent pakora sauce it would of helped but it was also bland, Indian food should be fresh and vibrant and most of all tasty ! Won’t be back !

Pleasant clean restaurant with friendly staff. The food was delicious, hot and fresh with good size portions. A lovely Indian meal, so nice we visited twice during our stay, both times were equally tasty, l would definately recommend.

Superb food wasn't expecting much from the decor; but thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Bit of a hassle that it's not licensed but Tescos is a 5 minute walk away so no drama really.

L’attente étant trop longue dans les autres restaurants d’Ullapool, nous nous sommes rabattus sur ce restaurant. Peut être avons-nous choisi le mauvais plat ?? L’agneau tikka massala est rose vif, très sucré. Nous avons rarement aussi mal mangé.

Ullapool is under serviced with restaurants and so everywhere is fully booked or with long waits. Given the mixed reviews I was apprehensive about trying the Indian but it was lovely and the staff were super friendly.

Cash only, take your own booze if you sit in. We had a takeaway tikka chicken balti, aloo gobi, pilau rice and a garlic naan. Almost, but not quite up to the standards we get locally but then again we are spoilt for choice back home. If I was back in Ullapool I would not hesitate to try the place again for a takeaway.

Words can't describe how terrible this curry houses is. Chicken was dry in a big pool of day glow pink tasteless sauce. Only surprise was that I wasn't sick. Avoid if you like tasty curry

My brother and I took our mum for dinner here. We're all big fans of Indian cuisine and we all agreed the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended!

Had better. I’m comparing this to my local Indians which is very high standards. It’s handy if your staying at the holiday park which is at the entrance.

Easter Saturday evening with no booking, we wondered if we would get in. We did, as there was only one other table of 4 seated. There were a few tables filled within 20 minutes of us arriving though. The restaurant seats around 50 people and...

We’ve eaten in a lot of Indian restaurants all over Britain, and I have to say the food served here is one of the best. I’m sorry for the other people who didn’t enjoy it, maybe an off night. The appearance inside could do with...

For a start the place was empty on a Friday night says it all really! Food was oily and over priced didn't taste like it should,starter was far to big, plates were dirty and had hairs on, the worst part was constantly being stared at...

I am a local and visit this place regularly and I have just been reading some of the reviews posted. I can’t speak for the experiences of others, but we have always been very well looked after and never had a bad meal here. I...

Awful experience - which ended with three of four takeaway meals being ‘binned’ . I don’t suppose this poor review will lead to any improvements as the staff didn’t seem to have much interest at all . No need to say more I m afraid.

Had an enjoyable meal in this restaurant while in Ullapool. Food was good and service efficient and unlike other restaurants we had looked at, it was serving food before 6pm which was the main reason we chose it, however glad we did. It does not...

Very good menu - and food and service was of a high standard. Does not have a drinks licence, but...

It's a basic restaurant in what feels like a temporary building. The owner / manager could possibly be a bit...

Hier ist nach 20:30 in Ullapool der einzige Restaurant das nach 20:30 Essen bekommt. Allerdings Take Away.

These proprietors don’t seem to care whether you eat in their restaurant or not, but mostly they appear to prefer...

If you have the craving you can go here but the food isn't particularly special, neither is the restaurant décor....

We ate here twice during a recent visit to Ullapool. The restaurant is clean and well presented, serving a wide range of Indian and other dishes. The restaurant was suprisingly quiet which was slightly worrying, however the meals were excellent and served promptly. The table service was efficient but not as friendly as it might have been.

If you're fond of Indian food you'll be very pleased with Essence of India. There is an extensive menu and the selections we had were very good. The decor is quite nice,and the service was excellent. While they do not have a license,we brought our own wine and enjoyed it with our dinner. It was one of the better meals we've had in Ullapool.

sorry, i hate doing bad reviews, and maybe we are biased as we come from Yorkshire, home of some of the best Curry restaurants ever... but just don't visit this place. Eat haggis, eat steak, eat chips, just don't decide on a curry whilst in Ullapool.

Myself and my partner turned up an hour before the restaurant was due to close and asked for a table. The restaurant was about half full but we were told that there weren't any tables available. We thought he was joking, and asked whether the free tables were booked; he said no, but there were not any tables free for us to eat. No apology, no explanations, just dead eyes and dismissive, one-word answers. The rudest, most miserable man we've ever come across. As we were really hungry and desperate, we asked if we could take food away we were thrust a menu in an offhand manner, with no words or eye contact. Even the mute waitress standing next to him looked embarrassed. My partner and I looked at each other and I think we both knew we'd rather go and get sandwiches for dinner from the supermarket than give any money to this utterly awful man. We left in disbelief at how we'd been treated. Utterly awful experience that left a sour taste in our mouths all evening. I suggest the man goes on a how-to-speak human-being course. Dire.

Dated restaurant, no license so make sure you take a bottle along with you. Reasonably friendly staff but the food wasn't overly exciting, maybe where I'm from there is a lot of competition so the standards are higher at home, no food heaters on table and the food served was not exactly piping hot so by time had got half way thru curry it was going cold too quickly. The baskets the popadoms served in where filthy. Naan bread was actually really really good. Basically it was like an eat in takeaway... more than a proper restaurant. Wasn't poorly afterwards and the food was reasonably tasty. I wouldn't say don't go there.. I would just not get your hopes up if you do.

We had a lovely take away from this restaurant. Very well priced and an excellent curry. Staff were friendly but please note it is cash only which was a surprise.

This was our second visit to the Essence of India and the difference to our first visit twelve months ago was that they had stopped serving alcohol which was disappointing to start. The other thing that hadn't changed was the staff...come on guys try and crack a smile or look happy in your work?The food was just about ok but each dish we ordered were very much the same..On a positive note the popadoms we're fresh and crispy and the toilets were clean..One other thing which may seem a bit trivial but was annoying... go and buy some new cd's cause listening to James Blunt on repeat all through our meal was a bit depressing......Let's hope it improves for next year....

We visited in July and as my wife is vegetarian, Indian food is always a good idea. We really enjoyed the food but they are not licensed which is a bit of a disappointment. It's not that I want to get drunk while having a meal but it's very unusual to have a dry restaurant in a tourist town like Ullapool. Food was good though.

OK. Slightly harsh headline BUT what I mean is that the place just felt awkward. The food was a mixed bag - we were a group of 5. Starters. A few of us ordered pakora (veg and chicken). It came with no Pakora sauce - never seen that before. When we asked for some, the waiter told us that they don't do pakora sauce. OK then. And then the head waiter (I presume) wandered over and told us to just use the sauces still on the table from our poppadums. Really? So not a great start. The main courses, well mine was great in all honesty. The Dopiaza did not hit the spot. Tandoori Mixed Grill kept its recipient happy. We asked for desert menu - it was that 70s and 80s laminated sheet with pictures of rock hard frozen oranges. They didn't seem surprised that we decided not to partake. If you know your desert menu is basically rubbish, why not walk the hundred yards to Tesco so you can offer your customers a few scoops of vanilla ice cream. So disappointing overall. But given the lack of choice in town, we might go again - albeit straight to the main course and then down to the ice cream shop.

Excellent and very near campsite. Didn't wait long either for the food. Still piping hot when we returned to site.

We had been to this place before for a takeaway a couple of years ago. I do not know what has happened. We had looked forward to going again.The chicken madras was inedible with a strange overpowering taste of lime. The tandoori chicken tikka was dry and didn't taste fresh at all. We got onion bahjis instead of chips. The restaurant was very quiet for a Friday night, maybe that was a give away.What a shame!!!Still not accepting cards or selling alcohol.Right on the edge of a very busy campsite, they really should be cashing in, in the middle of August!

The food was really excellent - full of flavour and very tasty. Was touring with our caravan and noticed the Indian Restaurant at the entrance to the Caravan Park we were staying at so decided to have a carryout meal. It may not look any fancy from outside but the sit down restaurant looks nice inside, and the food was excellent. Well worth a try.

Was just about beside myself with hunger when I was still waiting for my dinner after an hour but when it came I was glad I had waited. The food was much better than I expected nan bread light and pillowy just as it should be, and my lamb chicken prawn and spinach curry delicately spiced and delicious.A word of warning when they say hot they mean hot, as one of our number discovered.4 Stars for food but 2 stars for service.

We had a great dinner here after it was recommended by the owner of our B & B. Very large menu, I had no idea what to order so went with his recommendation. It was delicious. The spicy garlic was served on the side so I could as as much or little as I wanted
