Booked at very short notice and were made to feel so welcome. Delicious food and amazing staff. Only issue is that we ordered too much, but it was absolutely no problem for them to pack it for us to take home. We've not had an Indian for a while and this amazing place really hit the mark.

Second visit here and we were not disappointed. Food is authentically delightful, very good portions too. The restaurant has a really nice ambience and the staff are great.

Beautiful service. Beautiful venue. I was made to feel welcome as soon as I walked through the door. The table settings were perfectly presented & I knew with that level of effort was put into that fine detail the food would be outstanding. Really enjoyed the ambience & the meal was top quality! I think it's obvious that the owners & staff working in the restaurant have too much pride in their business to allow any customer to have a disappointing experience. Another visit this week, I enjoyed a Bengal Green Curry with onion rice. Again, the service was perfect & the food delicious 😋

One of the best nagas I’ve ever had infact id probably say it was the best naga curry I’ve ever had! Complements to the chef! Unfortunately the only thing that let it down for me was the service, it was quick but there was no attention to detail. As in when my drink was empty I had to go and ask for another one, I asked for the mango chutney and yoghurt to stay to complement my main and they took it away right under my nose. Overall the food is amazing can’t fault it but the service needs bringing up to the foods standards as a whole! Would definitely recommend and would come back again!

We choose Gala Tandoori as they have a great selection of vegetarian dishes. We were not disappointed - we enjoyed a selection of delicious dishes in comfortable surroundings. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Lovely experience.

My wife and I called for a meal early in the evening and midweek before going to an event at MacArts. We are both vegetarian and had been wandering if we would find anywhere suitable. I was pleased to find Gala Tandoori answered the call perfectly. Delicious food and service, value for money and a good atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone. Thanks again.

Staff were so friendly, shown us to our table we had booked for our visit. Gave us time to order as there was a lot of us to order for. The wait time from being seated to ordering to receiving drinks/food was really short. Worth every minute it was though. Fresh food came out the kitchen very hot and was very nice indeed! They even cater for vegetarians/vegans if that’s what is needed. Price was very good considering quite a lot of us were sat at that table at the time. Worth the money you pay. Definitely be going back to this restaurant again or even ordering a take-out from it, the food is so good!! Recommend trying the balti if you can.

Just Eat order gone horribly wrong. The staff are ignorant on arrival, barely strike conversion and simply hand you your order and look at the door. That was the enjoyable part too. Got home and my wife's lamb Tikka was not only chewy but possibly the worst bits of lamb we've seen yet. To top it off there was a wirey mid brown hair in it. Now let's get to my Jalfrezzi. I don't claim to be able to consume ghost chillies etc but I can certainly handle my heat. It nearly blew the top of my head off. I dug out 11 half chillies from a 1 person portion and gave up at that point. Gala Tandoori has been our "go to" for years as it was the best local Indian but with an experience like this it's close to the worst. The restaurant also decided to delete our comment from our review on just eat. Won't be back. Too busy dealing with the regret of last nights disaster. Not angry, just disappointed.

Waited for 2 hours and 15 minutes-for home delivery that they said would be 1 hour. When it arrived it was Luke warm as driver had been informed to go to St Boswells not Newtown St Boswells.(even though we had had delivery before). The Tandoori de luxe was not up to expectations as only had one king prawn in and had a chicken leg on the bone, definitely not worth the money. Sad to say we will not be rushing back.

Takeaway meal. Starters were tasteless. Fish pakora tasted like the fish was pretty old. Not good. Main course ok but nothing special. Good naan bread. There are better curry houses in Gala so would recommend them over this one. Staff were friendly and polite but the food just wasn’t up to standard. Pity.

I'm always very happy with the food from here its always fresh and great value. However we ordered from just eat tonight as I normally just phone in an order. We ordered before 6 to be told it would be delivered at 7.20 , a bit of a wait but I understand they are busy at the moment during lockdown. However when it still hadn't arrived at 7.50 I phoned to check where it was only to be told it hadn't even left the kitchen yet ! Having already payed through just eat I can't ask for my money back , I will never use this service again. Such a shame as I do rate this eating establishment

Last meal I ordered through the just eat app went in the bin. Both meals were very disappointing to say the least. It was the very last time I order anything from Gala Tandoori, I should have just stuck the £35 in the bin and ate beans on toast. It would have been more satisfying.

My only gripe would be no tip jar for the staff... Its nice at the end of a meal to tip the staff who have made your night special. I hope that may be brought in!!! Thankyou Gala Tandoori!!!

A weekend away in the Scottish Borders led to us unexpectedly finding this wonderful restaurant in the Yarrow Valley today. It was one of the best Sunday roasts we’ve had in years (delicious local beef and pork) and a seriously tempting menu focussed around local ingredients by Bryn Jones. The honey cake for dessert by @she.likesbaking was also incredible and I’ve only just realised that Oxana Jones is not only a wonderful front-of-house host, but also an extremely talented baker. Thank you to your team, it was a memorable lunch and we’ll definitely be back for one of your tasting menus and an overnight stay.

Reasonable food which is just as well as the service was really slow. Only one person taking a tables order then putting the order through to the kitchen before doing the same for the next table, then the next one. Not what you would expect.

Great little spot with friendly staff and good home cooked food. Opted for the bigger breakfast and was impressed with the quality of the ingredients. Great vibe in the seating area and very handy as close to town centre. Decent value for money and set us up for the day.
