Gala Tandoori in Scottish Borders

This is our go to Indian Takeaway when in the area. The food is always superb and never disappoints us. Just wish it was more local to us!!!!

I made a mistake and ordered to my old address, and even though there was a delivery code, the food was handed to, and taken by, people who didn't pay for it. I phoned the restaurant to try correct, and they were to accommodating, I paid again but they provided the chips and an extra bottle of coke for free so it cost less. The food was delicious, and the actual delivery time was prompt. Super happy with how they dealt with that situation and happy with the food I received.

We saw all the 5 star reviews so travelled from quite far but was 100% worthwhile! Up there with one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever had-service was fabulous, Audrey was so attentive and kind, made first class recommendations, we couldn’t have been happier with the food (I am also gluten free and vegan and was no problem at all). Everything so fresh and tasty. Already planning our next trip back just for Gala Tandoori!

Amazing food friendly staff very clean and environment Highly recommended if you are visiting galashiels Scottish borders Thanks Will be back soon

Having experienced Indian restaurants all over Europe, we can safely say Gala ranks with the best! Many dishes you won't find in other Indian restaurants. Surprising tastes, since the chef uses several secret herbal/spice mixtures. Brilliant! Hospitable staff. Nice atmosphere with subtle Indian background music. Value for money as well. Highly recommended!

The tandoori chicken breast went in the bin. It wasn’t a chicken breast it had a bone in. The meat that was there was burnt black and inedible, a tiger wouldn’t have been able to eat it, it was so tough. Even the kebab meat was dried out. Terrible food last night.

We had a lovely meal here while visiting family. Good choice of dishes and nice vegetarian specials. Excellent service and the food was delicious.

Worst takeaway I have ever eat from nothing else to say

Went here several weeks ago and just blown away at the quality, service and value for money! This is a real treat and would definitely recommend to all. Staff were lovely, food was gorgeous, and everything was spotless. Will return…..

Any1 leaving good reviews at this place has not eat here impossible shocking rang complained they just hu g up

Had an absoluty fabulous meal here with my family, curries were all excellent as were the sides and staff were very helpful, would definitely visit again if I'm ever in Galashiels.

Audrey was very welcoming to our party of 14 and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was great and recommendations were all excellent. I had the lamb special bhuna and it was delicious.

Lovely fresh curry, rice & naan bread, arrived piping hot. Great portion size, fantastic value for money!

This is our first visit at gala tandoori as we have newly moved to Galashiels, and was recommended to us by our neighbours, and guys trust me we were surprised the food was absolutely delicious and the service brilliant all the staff is very attentive. To all the Indian food lovers give it a try. Compliments to the chef. Highly recommended Will be back soon. Thanks.

Great Istanbulian pizza's and kebabs. Great hardworking staff as well, always a smile on there faces.

Good quality of food and delivery was fast

I ordered kebab sauce on my wrap. It got chilli! Please read your orders guys

Rapid delivery. Tasty as usual. Excellent 😊👍

Delivery was on time but the pizza was cold when it arrived .have been ordering from raja for years but have been disappointed with my last 2 orders unfortunately

Forgot some of my order and food below average

I was not giving my bottle of irn bru that I ordered

Always good food from Raja. Get from here all the time and never fails.

Never get bad food, still hot when delivered and always on time.

Says its on its way and I've waited 2 hours

Tryed using the code you gave me for £5 int never worked as a had to pay full price for the meal,not happy

Food wasn’t very warm so had to heat it up and burger bun was soggy in parts

Food was good and the young lass that delivers it is always super polite. Only problem I have with it is the last 2 time we ordered from here the poppadoms were badly burnt. I let it slide the 1st time but twice in a row isn't great. They also seemed to have given me twice as many poppadoms. Not sure if this is supposed to count as an apology but I think I'd rather the right amount I asked for cooked the proper way.

Crazy fast delivery. Best pizza in town 😊👍👌

Super fast delivery & excellent food 👍

Food wasn’t hot and pizza was dry

Portion size is absolutely shocking for the price 😡

They apologised for it being late, even-though it arrived 5 minutes early. Was slightly cold but i still ate it all.

Gala Tandoori is not in the liveliest section of High Street but do not pass this by. Exceptional Indian food here. One of their specialties is Balti cooking (NE India, Hindu origin), which we’d never had. The Balti Garlic Masala was fresh and delicious - a wonderfully balanced dish. Very clean restaurant, btw. And friendly, welcoming service. Great break from a string of Scottish/English fare.

First time at this lovely family restaurant. It will not be the last. The food was excellent. All freshly prepared and great variety. The nan bread was sublime. The tarka dahl was also amazing. We were delighted with everything. Dad was cooking and mum was front of house with the teenage kids helping with service. We chatted with them and it was so nice to be in a family restaurant. I asked for a sweet lassi to drink and although it was not on the menu they were happy to make me one and it was excellent. To top it all, it was very reasonable priced. Highly recommended.

The food was excellent. It was a great experience for a family meal. Audrey was such a lovely host and made us feel extremely welcome. We will definitely come back when we’re back in Scotland. Thanks again, highly recommend!!

Great place with great people. Now my regular place everytime i order!

From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The ordering process was seamless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Food was top notch will definitely be coming back. pizza was fresh, had a generous amount of topping and was cooked to perfection and lovely staff👌🏽

Really good shop, with really good food I recommend this for Friday night takeout

Food was absolutely delicious, staff were very friendly will definitely be back

Food was very tasty and staff were friendly fast and efficient

Customer service was amazing. Food came quick and was 10/10

Amazing food and really friendly staff

Only place I get my kebabs from. 10/10 service. 12/10 Food for great value. Always go above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend a better place honestly.

Delivery time starting to take longer and longer

Beautiful pizza and curry will be back 😁😁😁

Muneebs top service foods bangin

Absolutely delicious meal with my family and friends tried different curries all were amazing. As we recently moved to borders and been highly recommended Not disappointed at all. Service top class Will be back again.......

First time visit here with friends and family as newly moved in borders, recommended by our neighbours. Food was absolutely delicious, full with flavors, very tasty everyone enjoyed. Serve top class, although the restaurant was fully pack the staff is very attractive. Thanks to all the staff, and compliments to the chef. Highly recommended Will be back again thanks.. . .

Food defo not as good as used to be chips wer like reheats

We had relatives down from Aberdeen for the weekend and they were keen to go for a curry. We had picked up a carry out a couple of weeks before which we really enjoyed so we thought we would give it a try as a restaurant . We booked a couple of days before as we were going on a Saturday. Everything was first class - from staff to food. We always find that the portions are too big and there’s too much waste. This time the portions were perfect and the only things returned to the kitchen were empty plates and one poppadom! Excellent visit to a great restaurant. We all agreed it was the best curry we have had for a very long time.

My curry (chicken bhoona was great) good portion size, however the Veg pakora and chips were quite soggy and not crispy, the donner meat was average aswell, will order again but hope they improve on the points I made, otherwise I'd be going elsewhere.

Did not deliver my separate salad and sauce ! Did not call the restaurant as by time they delivered it food would have been cold !

Fantastic food, customer service, ambiance and value for money! Been there a dozen times now and never been let down by the family or staff. Will doubtless be there again in the coming weeks.

ALL FOOD WAS COLD AND UNEATENALBE. SHOP DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW AND WAS REALLY CHEEKY ABOUT.

Best Indian takeaway we've ever had by far

Chicken was well overcooked and very salty. Naan was super dry. Not sure when this was made but it wasn't fresh.

Lovely staff offering great service. The food was exceptional and we eat curry two to three times every week so we think we are fit to judge. Sauces were excellent, we had Jalfrezi and it was so good we bought two on take away to take home with us. Onion bhajees also excellent. Only down is that the place needs a good paint but that is nothing to do with the staff or the food quality. Only sorry we do not live in Galashiels but we will be back as soon as possible for a day trip and a visit to Gala Tandoori.

Our party of six had a splendid Sunday supper at the Gala Tandoori and it was perfect from start to finish. Our booking was made via their own website a few days ahead of the visit and I received a swift email confirmation followed by a personal phone call too; this was the first example of the professional and excellent customer service provided by the Gala. Good points: The establishment was spotlessly clean and tidy and our hostess Audrey (?) gave us a warm welcome and was prepared for our booked visit. Menus were provided swiftly and we were given time to settle before our order was taken. At no time did we have trouble in getting attention which was always polite and helpful. Throughout the meal Audrey checked that we were happy with our food and drinks. The food and drinks were very reasonably priced and the quality was excellent and thoughtfully cooked and presented. The stand out dish was the Tandoori King Prawns that were huge and perfectly cooked on a bed of soft roasted onions served with a side dish of vegetable curry to provide the moisture. This was good honest regional cooking without trying to be fancy or clever for the sake of it, and truly delivered in providing a delicious Indian banquet. Bad points: None! Thank you Gala Tandoori for providing such a perfect meal which was a "ThankYou" treat for our friends who had had us to stay. We wish we could take you away to be our local London curry house.

Business trip with colleagues although it was our first time visit at this restaurant, had a lovely meal infact all the dishes very absolutely delicious. If you want recommendations about curries please take advice from a lovely lady (Audrey) absolutely amazing person we have ever met. All our dishes were recommended by her. It's a busy restaurant good we have booked our table. Special thanks to Audrey. Will see you soon again........

Food absolutely delicious no fault never in my experience. Service top class spoke to the manager the restaurant the lady was so good really appreciated she is highly professional, she appreciated her staff too. Lana is great thanks keep up the good job. And to all the staff. Highly recommended Will be back soon

Ordered a chicken kebab and chips. The chicken was very very dry. The chips were the best part of the meal. Happy with the complimentary can of irn bru. Overall not happy with my meal.

Had a couple of recent visits to Gala Tandoori, and both were great. Sizzling platters are excellent, curries really tasty, with breads and rice perfect to match. Staff are great too. Will be back!

Made three nightshift workers very happy 10/10

Great service and food. The waitress was very nice and helpful and the food was amazing. The service was very quick too.

Second time here and not disappointed. We travelled for 70 miles and stayed overnight. The Borders of Scotland are amazing and to have found this restaurant is great. Lovely food, good wine at £16 a bottle. Far above our local restaurants.

Wonderful meal, our waitress Lana was very patience with us and knowledgeable about the curry, giving us lots of vegan recommendations. The flavoring of food was superb and portions were very generous.

Absolutely disgusting will NOT be ordering again

Orderd pizza and small portion of kebab meat and it wasn't put in

Excellent , really enjoyed everything

1st class. An overdue wee treat & well worth it 😁👌

Delivery time is never what it states when you order then it shows a delay. Food was warm but patia was very rich taste and not usual dish

Not clear on the menu that rice comes with the curry, so ended up with 2 but not a major issue, just a bit of a waste! Food delicious and delivered hot and quickly!

Raja’s food is always super tasty with vegetables in curries that never taste over- cooked and delicious spices and herbs. Their garlic and peshwari naans are awesome and their curries just delicious. Portion sizes are generous and they almost always deliver just a little earlier than they say. They also do one of the nicest pizzas in the town! Would definitely recommend

Order was late and missing two cans of juice which was supposed to come with order ??

Pizza was very very burned, and the dough was rock hard cause it was so over over cooked, chips were warm but soggy. Worst order I’ve had from raja, so disappointed with it even my dog struggled to chew pizza as she got most of the order! Would have posted a picture but doesn’t allow me to on this. After waiting over an hour and half for the delivery of order was furious opening up the pizza

I have a lot of Indians around my area and I was surprised considering how cheap this is, it’s the tastiest I have had by far! Highly recommend

Good food at reasonable prices

Catered for our family festive party. Every dish was of high quality and hot on delivery. The staff I delt with on arranging delivery were very friendly and professional. Will definately continue to use their services

The pizza did not have the extra mushrooms which we paid for and the amount of chicken was poor to the poor I thought I had only ordered a cheese pizza. I am disappointed as the pizza from Raja are usually great quality

Great food and only gave us 4-5 items that were ordered !!

Top Tier, Great food and Service

Awful tonight! Chips were reheated but not even cooked?? Pizza was a sloppy mess would have sent back but was going out.

If I could leave 7 stars I would! I order here regularly and cannot fault the food or service.

The kebab meat was so greasy the nan was very soggy it was disgusting I want a refund

Cant fault the key aspects of eating out. Food was exceptional. Ordered something which not quite on the menu - no problem! Staff attentive and very friendly. Owners polite and customer focussed. Clean and nice setting of tables. Serving times were great even though all...

Wow very good food I'm so glad I got the food it is too good!!! 😊👍

Food was excellent will be ordering again

We used to always order from here. Party foods as well when having big get together but over the past few years it seems that things have went down hill. The people are great don’t get me wrong. But it’s sadly not enough to make me want to come back. All our food was either bitter or bland and no one enjoyed what they had. Hope things get better soon.

Bhuna curry is too sweet and too runny.

Fab food, never had a bad meal

Disappointing naan bread burnt, meat very dry, and chips only warm complete waste of money I couldn’t eat it.

Great food as always and quick delivery. Highly recommended.

A warm friendly restaurant serving a selection of delicious dishes. The staff were efficient and pleasant. We will certainly try to revisit.

A family member recommended this restaurant. Excellent tasty food, great onion bhajees followed by a jalfrezi with pilau rice and paratha, all wonderful. Will be going again next time I'm up.

We hadn’t booked but were found a table and an hour and twenty minutes before the restaurant needed it back to fulfill a booking. The service wasn’t rushed, was very attentive and the food was amazing. The restaurant was busy throughout our stay and it’s...

Fantastic food had lahori curry it was delicious, chicken melted in your mouth

Most excellent curry. I asked the server to choose for us and it was heavenly. If you are ready for a break from traditional Scottish food, this is the place.

absolutely lovely kebabs, i think its the 1st time ive bought them from here, wont be the last, excellent

Haven’t ordered from Raja for a while but will definitely be ordering again, food was fab!
