Gulab Tandoori in North Ayrshire

Used to love this restaurant 30 years ago. Seems the kitchen don't know how to make any curry, side or bread these days. The sauces we ordered were an absolute joke - weirdly coloured and flavoured. Mushroom rice - rice with fried mushrooms chucked in as an oily afterthought. Stuffed paratha was an actual wrap. A wrap bought from a supermarket and pretending to be paratha. Saag paneer was more saad paneer. Won't be back to this place, it's too far gone now

Been ordering out of here for years and loved it as their chicken burgers were huge and poured out the sides of the bun and for an extra 20p the burger had fresh salad and fried onions in it and they gave you loads of chips with them which was great!... Unfortunately the last few orders have been a let down... Their burgers are shocking now. Burger size has been less than half the bun width multiple times now. The salad was wet and soggy and looked like it was filled with it to cover up the tiny burger size now. I even left a note on the instructions asking for them to put a decent burger in it and it got ignored and an even smaller burger was put in. Unfortunately doesn't look like I'll be ordering from them again as its now not worth the money. Went from best place to get a take out burger to one of the worst very quickly.

The chips were all crunch and no potatoe, the sauce on the currry was bland, very overpriced, fried rice priced separate to the main dish, I paid £17 for 4 bits of chicken on a sizzling platter and paid extra for rice, they have never heard of a chilli korma sauce, I get this everywhere I go, would not go back or recommend

I went to the gulab recently with my wife. The guy that looked after our table was a gentleman not overbearing just spot on and the food is always the best around we would highly recommend the gulab.

Very friendly service,buffet fab excellent choices for someone who can be fussy lol will definitely be back soon. Well worth the money and highly recommend!

I'm afraid my wife and my self have just had a terrible meal delivered, I had a beef curry, the beef was inedible and the sauce was salty and too thick. My wife had a chicken Tikka masala. The chicken was dry and tasteless and far too salty. This was the first time we have had a meal here since it was taken over, but I can assure anyone reading this that it is definitely the last, total waste of money and can't stop drinking water. TOO SALTY, MEAT TOO TOUGH, SAUCE THICK MUCK, TASTELESS

35 quid for 2 currys 1rice 1 nan currys were watery and at best loosely flavoured defo went down hill

Good amount of meat in the curries and tastes great! We will be coming back!

Food was good and serving sizes where massive but the standout was the customer service. Looking forward to our next visit!!!

I had delicious, authentic Indian food in Gulab Tandoori, I will definately come back again .... And bring my friends next time!!!!

Been three times in the past four months. Food always brilliant. Service is very fast and great!

Excellent service and atmosphere with friendly staff.The food was brilliant and full of flavour.Will definitely be coming back for more.5 stars all the way.

Really good food and restaurant. Good menu that’s not to lengthy and cooked to order.

Outstanding food and excellent service. I visited with friends for the first time and certainly wasn’t disappointed.

Superb food, the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. Friendly and attentive staff,

The waiters were very friendly and nice, service was lovely and the food was very good and affordable.

The food was different from other Indian restaurants I’ve been to and that was a good thing. It was delicious and not at all expensive. Highly recommended!

This is the most organised restaurant ever with the best food and service. Thanks to all the staff for a great meal and great atmosphere x

Arguably the best Indian restaurant in the country, this establishment offers exceptional food quality, warm and welcoming service, and unparalleled value for money.

Very friendly staff, quick and efficient service, delicious meal, comfortable and pleasant clean environment. Will be back.

Just yum!!! Had tikka chicken off the bone with a masala sauce. Portions were fab. I was stuff but powered through as too nice to leave. Thanks x

This establishment is widely considered as one of the top Indian restaurants in the country, providing outstanding food quality, friendly service, and exceptional value for money.

We visited here a few years ago and it was excellent. Move forward three years and the portions are down, e.g four pieces in a large pakora starter and I feel the food wasn't as good and the prices have rocketed. The Naan bread was still excellent but all in all, I was pretty underwhelmed.

This Indian restaurant is arguably the finest in the nation. The food quality is exceptional, the service is warm and welcoming, and the value for money is unparalleled.

Was amazing,everyone there was super talkative.brilliant food.a good size portion along with reasonable price.definitely be back again.

Excellent business lunch as usual. The food was delicious and extremely tasty. Fast, efficient and friendly service. The best restaurant anywhere. We are always more than pleased with our food.

First class food excellent service would recommend to everybody. We had a wonderful lunch in a nice atmosphere!

Waited 40 mins for one curry and asked for my money back deplorable Customer service the guy taking the orders not interested saying I have lots of orders here this is not a Mcdonalds I would say at least Mcdonalds give u the food ordered And way cheaper than his wannabe restaurant. Edit Now the owner is trying to strong arm me into redacting my review I can tell the time I waited 45 mins with no hint of my order when I asked for my money back order guy said what only 25 pounds hope ure camera will pick that up along with the we are not Mcdonalds jibe wasn't going to mention it but I only ordered a kebab for myself thinking they can't mess that up curry for a friend as I've had a bad experience with their food once before never will I go back to their place poor show. Edit To the owner take your threats elsewhere as you know and I know its illegal to share camera footage without consent I see you also know how to edit your reply

Impressed with the decor and staff really friendly, quality of food good also

Had a lovely meal with family celebrating a birthday. Staff were all attentive and polite.

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch today. The service was excellent, Would defo go back.

After travelling 8 hours it was really nice to having such a nice dinner. The pasta was really good, only that the chicken was too spicy. The 5 stars is entirely for the decor and really friendly and attentive service.

Excellent as usual. Cosy, clean, efficient staff and we all had different Currys and all loved! Great value and a firm favourite! Thank you!

Last week, my sister and I enjoyed a delightful meal together. It had been several years since our last visit, but the food, service, and atmosphere were just as wonderful as we remembered.

Their Indian cuisine isn't just top-notch, it's also really good bang for your buck compared to other nearby options. I'd definitely suggest trying their Tandoori mixed grill—it's a winner.

Went out for a meal on a Friday night, and thought the restaurant looked nice. It wasn't too busy so we got a table no problem. Immediately, the service was A++, very attentive and friendly wait staff.

Excellent food, with amazing presentation and customer service. Had a pleasant dinner at this restaurant. A place I would definitely recommend to others!

The food and service was fantastic! Will definitely be back! Best meal out as a family in a long time. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine.

Great food and service. We had a group of 13 people and they were really accommodating):

That was such a great meal! The food was fantastic and the service was top-notch. Everyone was really friendly and made us feel so welcome. Looking forward to going back again!

The food had a distinct and refined taste. The service was exceptional. Definitely recommended for a visit.

I've visited this place a few times before, and it has always been great. So, I thought of bringing my parents here for my dad's birthday, and they really enjoyed the food! It was a hit with everyone. I'd definitely suggest this spot to anyone and everyone.

The food is amazing! The menu is very interesting with a nice variety of authentic dishes that are cooked to perfection with fresh spices for delicious flavors. The portions are generous and the service is great. I highly recommend it.

This places facebook posts of their food has been taunting me and winding me up for months. Well I finally got to visit and wow it didn’t disappoint. Some of the most amazing unique dishes I’ve ever had and the karahi was by far the best I’ve tasted. The service was absolutely spot on as well. Couldn’t recommend high enough well worth a visit and I’ll definitely be back as often as I get time to.

Fantastic, excellent service all round, Friendly staff and excellent food!!

Lovely food, served quickly, friendly staff, reasonable prices, would highly recommend.

Delivery ok, nan cold and chewy , chicken just added to sauce and not cooked in . The sauce was quite good. Not as good as expected by quite a margin based on previous experience.

The dining experience was fantastic. I couldn't find a single flaw in any of the dishes. I'd definitely suggest it to others and I'll surely return.

Good food. Good vegan options for some of our party. Birthday dessert provided at the end upon asking.

Amazing restaurant to have good Indian food. The staff is incredibly friendly and provides quick service. They serve good portion curries and 1 naan enough for 2 people. Don't miss out on the Gulab Tandoori Special Curry and their refreshing Mango Lassi – they're must-tries!

Outstanding curry - my whole family said the best they had ever had! Truly fantastic service too & vegan diet catered for.

During my recent visit to Gulab Tandoori Restaurant, I had the opportunity to experience their buffet service, which is not commonly found in other Indian restaurants. For just £13, I enjoyed a variety of delicious starters, flavorful curries, freshly baked naans, and tempting desserts. I particularly enjoyed the veg spring rolls, Chicken korma, and Garlic Naans. The staff were hospitable, readily available, and very helpful. They made sure the food remained fresh and warm throughout. I later discovered that the buffet service is only available on Fridays and Saturdays, so I plan to visit again soon with my family..

The food was tasty, the prices were fair, and the service was excellent. Opted for the business lunch and it definitely hit the spot. We had a good time and plan on returning.

We're frequent visitors to Gulab, and the food is consistently excellent. The staff are always friendly. I highly recommend this bar and restaurant.

A lovely Indian restaurant in town with exceptionally friendly staff. I adore Gulab, and everyone should visit at least once for the delicious food.

Ordered dinner on our way home from a weekend away. Had the chicken chasni pizza, kebab, burger, and chips. It was ready quickly and tasted great, as always.

A brilliant restaurant that I can't fault. Went for dinner with family members, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food, especially the variety of curries, was really good. We opted for the buffet on Friday and it exceeded our expectations; the food was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Highly recommend the buffet for anyone looking for a wide selection. The atmosphere is pleasant for friends or families. 5 stars from me, well done Gulab Irvine!

Had a delightful meal with a varied menu at reasonable prices. The service was great; couldn't ask for more. Will definitely return.

We regularly order takeaway food from Gulab. The quality is consistently excellent, especially their pizzas, curries, and pakora. We've never had a bad experience.

I always love going here, it's so lovely in terms of looks and the food is absolutely delicious as always (the cheese pizza was sooo good and the cheese stretchered for so long) more the staff are very nice. If you ate ordering food it can take a while but it's worth the wait!

Tonight, my family and I enjoyed a delightful meal. We've visited many times before, and as always, the service was excellent, the restaurant was impeccably clean, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. They went the extra mile to ensure my daughter was pleased with her meal. The cocktails were fantastic and reasonably priced, and the food was simply delicious. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Definitely the best restaurant for dinner, takeout, and dining in. The staff always go above and beyond for their customers. Highly recommend for both takeout and dining in. Plus, they have a great bar for drinks after dinner or with your meal.

We visited on a midweek evening. The food was lovely, and although we couldn't try the cocktail list as we were driving, it looked great. The chasni garlic naan is a must-try!

The food was lovely, and the staff were accommodating. Our server, Emma, who had just started working there, provided excellent service and made our customer experience great. Well done, Emma!

Enjoyed a meal without the kids, and it was absolutely brilliant. We had chicken tikka and lamb tikka, both of which were amazing. The staff were very helpful in guiding our decision on what to eat. The restaurant was clean and tidy, despite being very busy with deliveries and having a bar, which my partner tried and enjoyed. We'll definitely be back soon. Thanks to everyone who helped make our night great.

The food is fantastic, with lovely flavors and perfectly cooked dishes. I've never encountered any issues with what I've ordered from there. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Really enjoyed our evening at the Gulab in Irvine. Delicious food (particularly the naans & the tandoori grill), lovely staff & affordable prices! Their cocktails are only £5 which is great too. I’d recommend here if looking for some good food in Irvine.

Great food and service plenty of it

Some of the best burgers and pizzas I've ever tasted! The burgers contain proper meat, and the pizzas are wonderfully cheesy.

Recently visited Gulab for the first time since we're new to the area, and it was a pleasant surprise. The service was welcoming and efficient, the food was excellent, and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be returning.

Just tried the new dessert pizza, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of toppings and how delicious they tasted together. It's a great new addition to the menu; keep up the good work! I'll definitely be back.

Nice atmosphere, welcoming staff, suitable for both families and friends. Recently dined here with family and enjoyed the food. Looking forward to visiting again.

The food is amazing, with great service and well-presented dishes. There's not a long wait for the food either. I highly recommend coming here.

Tried the new dessert pizza on the menu, consisting of a plain pizza base with Nutella and strawberries. It was a perfect 10 out of 10; definitely recommend it. Also, received great service and will certainly return.

Went to the gulag tonight for the buffet. Plenty to choose from, great prices & the staff are extremely friendly & attentive. Would highly recommend.

The food was incredibly fresh, plentiful, and delicious. The staff, particularly the young man who took care of us last night at 7pm, was fantastic, attending to our every need. He is a credit to the business and his family. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning soon.

Currently enjoying drinks in the lounge at Gulab tonight. We had excellent Vegetable Pakora, and our night out is going great. Their pizzas are also fantastic, and they offer takeaway and delivery services.

Visited with my partner, and she approves, so I must be onto a winner! It was our first time visiting, and the building was nice. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Had a fantastic meal with very friendly staff. The food was amazing with plenty of tasty options. We dined early evening in a genuinely pleasant dining room and felt very welcomed.

I've been here twice already, and both times were great. The bartenders are friendly, and the food and drinks are really good. I definitely recommend it!

We decided to try their chasni and donner Nan, and let me tell you, it was fantastic! We were really impressed. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere inside, and the staff, especially Katie, were awesome. Can't wait to come back again! Definitely recommend trying the chasni and donner Nan - 10/10.

Dreadful - An insult to Indian cuisine Should have read the believable reviews before going, along with the contemptuous response by the restaurant. AVOID

Was at the gulab with my husband for dinner, food is fantastic, large portions, reasonably priced, all staff are friendly, 10/10 will be back soon 😀

Was here for dinner with family, foods amazing, reasonably priced, all staff are really friendly go over and beyond highly recommended 😊

I came here with my family for the buffet, it was fantastic, there was so much food to choose from, the food was cooked to perfection and was really tasty, the staff was really friendly, i definately would reccomend this food establishment to anyone

Not great, table service was ok, the starters were ok, the main course was horrible, the chicken was hard and chewy, all 4 people at the table had chicken dishes and we all left the chicken, a complaint was made, they offered to make new main dishes but we refused, we did get a good discount on the bill, unfortunately I can not recommend this restaurant.

Best takeaway/resturant in the area been using it for years always lovely to speak to also and very resonable prices

Recently went for Buffet. Very small selection of food which was okay but honestly I've had better. Had a drink with lemonade in it, tasted like horrible cheap stuff. Can't fault the staff, but this wasn't a cheap meal and i won't be rushing back

Worst takeaway ever used here plenty of times before uses to be brilliant ordered a takeaway yesterday had to shout driver back to get can of itmrn bru which I noticed straight away was missing the delivery was 2 hours all driver could say was there busy should put more drivers on if that's the case food was cold and coleslaw and seekh kebab was missing they have a cheek to charge 4.50 for local delivery when the delivery service is as poor plus they over charge for everything if you want salt and Vinegar they charge extra as I said I used to use here regularly as it used to be a great restaurant but it has seriously went down hill and is now the worst in irvine probably further I fir one won't be ordering from there ever again

Ordered takeaway tonight, 2 hours for delivery, food lukewarm, chicken pakora totally overcooked and inedible, lamb/ chicken tikka also overcooked, unseasoned and tasteless. Probably one of the worst meals I have ever had from a restaurant that used to be very good.

Nice place visited with friends, was warmly greeted by Lucy and Katie who was great from start to finish, food was great I opted for the chicken tikka which come out sizzling lucky the smoke alarms did not go of haha

Delicious food, keep doing what your doing visited after seeing this on Facebook has one of these chasni nans

Ordered a takeaway for my sons 18th at the studio in Kilmarnock. Food came exactly on time piping hot and masses of everything. Couldn't fault a single thing, it was delicious
