Indian Garden in Orkney Islands

Delicious Indian food and authentic Indian food. We had a nice time here eating tasty Indian food and the service was friendly and staff was welcoming.

Terrible , cold and overpriced. Used to be quite good but will never eat from here again !! Tasted off made me sick , was cold and cost me over £40 for the pleasure. They also delete all negative feedback so this is a pointless exercise . AVOID yuk

Don't be put off by the exterior, this restaurant is really nice inside. I particularly enjoyed the Bollywood trailers that played throughout, it was an original touch. For starters we had the samosa and pakora, accompanied by a lovely mango and yoghurt sauce. However the servings were disappointingly small and the samosas were overcooked and probably bought from the local cash & carry, not nice. For mains we had the vegetarian tiger curry. It was good. But the pilau rice and garlic naan were not. A disappointing experience and as with most Orkney eateries, overpriced.

Crazy busy and quality poor. It was a very busy evening when order put in. Took nearly an hour to get the food. When took home it was not the correct order. Returned and i felt like it was at my fault. Another half hour to get the order. Food really not great. Dips gen unpleasant. Main courses disappointing. Won’t be going back for a while …

The service was unsatisfactory. They couldn't accommodate for additional naan , this is making us head to another restaurant in the proximity. ( reasoned that they have more orders but kept on accepting new guests n their orders ) bit lame reason to accept. Food didn't taste authentic. Will not recommend it to others or return.

Accidentally got one order wrong due to phone hearing issues and staff were lovely and corrected the issue without a problem, also adding in a free bottle of wine and coke. Amazing service and lovely staff. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely dinner at Indian Garden after a day chasing Orcas round Orkney (didn’t actually find any……) Service at Indian Garden was excellent, food was delicious, and portion sizes were spot on. We had chicken pakora, chicken chat, garlic mushroom and spring rolls...

Well another triumph...superb service and a great meal enjoyed by 4 very satisfied customers. Remember and take along your beer or wine. Atmosphere lovely with no pushing to order or to move out. Well done the waiting and cooking staff.

Tonight was our second visit to this small but lovely Indian restaurant. I had the lamb curry (with fresh chopped chilli) and my wife had the king prawn makhani with paneer from the Wednesday special menu with onion bhajis and delicious meat samosa to start....

We ate there with friends and all we can say it's that the place is amazing. The staff and particularly the owner are very welcoming, very nice. They truly care about the customers. They put you at ease. And the food is really tasty. We...

My partner and I ate here on a recent visit to Kirkwall and weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent and the service was first class. We really enjoyed our visit and hope to visit again soon.

Excellent food, lovely fresh flavours, boldly spiced. Friendly service, very happy for people to take in their own drinks and no corkage. A great evening out.

This is my second time to this restaurant and again the same as last time. I had a lovely meal and great service. I just wish I was local because this would be my local restaurant for sure. Thanks so much for such an enjoyable...

Tasty Indian dishes. Very friendly service. Aithentic Indian music brings back memories of visits to India

Have to say that I had one of my best meals here tonight absolutely stunning meal 💕💕 strongly recommend this restaurant. Thanks for a lovely meal and a lovely service. Will definitely be back

Delicious garlic chicken, mushroom bhaje and Nan Bread and rice in the Special Wednesday night meal deal...and Mango ice cream. Such friendly and helpful staff... All this made for a special meal. Thank you... I will be back and will be trying out the takeaway...

The chicken tikka masala is amazing, I come here and eat this every time. The place is very comfortable and the staff are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place. The place is also very warm and comfortable.

We visited the restaurant tonight as part of our 5 meals before lockdown tour. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was to match. Surprisingly, the restaurant was quiet but do not be put off by this. One if the nicest indian meals we...

Had a really great meal in there last night, we asked for extra hot curries and were not left wanting. The staff are the loveliest guys and even gifted us Christmas cards along with a very thoughtful present for being regular customers. Couldn't recommend this...

A place for anyone on the island or anyone visiting to defiantly visit! The food served is scrumptious and the staff are extremely friendly. And if you go on a Wednesday evening they have a three course meal price which is very reasonably priced. We...

The food was amazing and the staff were all friendly and helpful. First visit for us to the restaurant.

A wonderful meal as usual ,top class food and service was good too ,Highly recommended, balti Bangladeshi garlic chilli chicken simply best .thanks Indian garden

The takeaway was good service, friendly, and quick service so no waiting around, really good food would recommend to come to the restaurant or get your food from here!

Visited today 25/19/20. Service was fantastic, food was excellent. We had the tiger special chicken and tikka Massala. As an added bonus bonus you can still take tour own alcohol to drink with your meal. The man who served us couldn't have done more to...

Warm and cozy restaurant with excelent service and food! I had a wonderful experience from start to finish . The staff is very friendly , food is exceptionally good and the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. A must try in Orkney!

Had a takeaway a family member bought us last night and absolutely disgusting quality of food I couldn't believe how little customer care they actually had. How dare they say I always complain I actually ordered a veggie curry in feb and told them the...

The food was outstanding and service was amazing thank you for the night and I would recommend coming here!🍛

The staff was very nice when taking my order and they didn’t make any mistakes. The food was absolutely amazing especially the chicken korma. It was such a good experience and I highly recommend anyone to go and sit in

Excellent food, the best we have ever eaten have visited many restaurants but this is far the best. Excellent food and lovely staff. The owner is an enjoyable and really pleasant guy.

We had a fantastic meal, my husband thinks it was better than any we have ever had anywhere in the UK. Take your own alcohol, but soft drinks served. Great place and staff.

I enjoyed eating here. I would have taken wine if I had known it was bring your own. Food tasty and inexpensive. Plentiful and varied food and exceptional service. I will return and with wine.

great service and good value and lots of choices, bring your own drink and no corkage charge, defo worth a visit

good value, great service, and take your own drink - as they dont sell any form of alchole, and if you do they dont chage corkage

Haven’t been here for a while so was so pleased to find this restaurant was so good. The menu has the standard Indian restaurant favourites as well as a few specialties. Everything we tried (we ate here 3 times in January)was good. The lamb was...

Been here a few times when in Kirkwall on business. Maybe doesn't look much, but it's unpretentious and if you want a change from the usual places to eat in the town and fancy a good feed, then you won't be disappointed. Staff always very...

Had dinner my last night in Kirkwall at this restaurant, and had a great experience. Food was excellent, and the service was great! Really enjoyed the Onion Bahji, Sag Aloo, and Chicken Korma.

My partner and I had dinner there tonight and was very happy with our food. The place was very confortable, the service is very quick!

Quite people possibly the best curry I’ve had in a restaurant, fab naan breads excellent food, but please turn the tv off 😊

Another excellent meal from indian garden. Never been disappointed there yet. Well recommended for a good meal at a very reasonable price

We had a delicious vegetarian meal, all cooked beautifully. An added bonus was a lovely interesting chat with Kay (sp?). We look forward to put next meal. Thank you for making a wet night in Kirkwall really special for us.

The Naga lamb I had tonight was delicious as always unfortunately the garlic naan tasted as if it had been reheated hard and crusty around the edges. Very disappointed Indian Garden

Eaten here four time in the last 3 months, amazing curries, authentic hand made Naans, partners first trip here, better than any in London

A truly amazing and inspiring 3 course meal. Freshly cooked poppadoms and nan breads let alone incredible mains and starters. Great presentation and lovely staff. After a truly disappointing meal at the Storehouse for twice the price a few days before, this was a real...

The food was SO good. And the service exelent. Best Indian food I ever had. I recommend This restaurant ....one of the best

I fail to understand what others have said about this place and their food being bland - this is far from the truth. We decided to have a takeaway from here during our short week in Orkney and the food was really, really good. One...

I wanted to see what the Indian in Kirkwall was like, and ordered a takeaway. After collecting the food, and returning home, disappointment is the only word I can use to describe what I received. The food was bland, tasteless and looked unappealing. I would...

I was here tonight and had a fantastic meal the curry I had has to be the best I have had in a long time and the garlic and chilli naan bread was very nice I will definitely be back when I visit Orkney next...

The meal was excellent but be careful of the "add-ons" which can pump up your bill quite a bit. We particularly liked the Naan Bread which was wonderful but one portion will easily d two, likewise the poppadum.

We where greeted immediately when entering and never had to wait for service for more than a couple of minutes for the rest of the meal. Service was friendly and helpful and the food was awesome, we had four different dishes, from really hot to...

I went for a meal this evening with my friend. Wonderful meal, excellent service and extremely helpful staff. Topped off with a brilliant takeaway. Definitely my place to go for food.

The food here just gets better and better. We've visited 4 times this year and each visit has surpassed the previous one! The service is always fast & friendly. They have a great selection of dishes ... but the Garlic Chilli King Prawn is just...

Food still good, since the Dil Se has closed prices have rocketed and portion size has gotten smaller for takeaway in particular.Come on Indian Garden don't bite the hand that feeds you.

We found the restaurant surprisingly busy midweek, but were able to book a table just one hour ahead. Our curries were good, though not outstanding in any way.There is better cuisine in Kirkwall, but you would have to pay twice the price.

A great experience from the minute we entered the restaurant. Very helpfull staff and superb food, a great start to our stay in Orkney.

An unexpected find for Orkney. I think the only Indian. It was a shame we hadn’t realised it didn’t have a drinks licence and is byob. We will the next time. Delightful waiting staff and very good food.

How simple was this..phoned order in ..told it would be 20 mins..it was 20 mins..lovely lovely food..not expensive either..would recommend

A varied menu caters for most tastes. Prices are mid-range. There is no alcohol licence, but diners are able to take their own if they wish.

Fantastic meal as always and Wednesday night deals are bees knees, pity I am usually busy on a Wed night

The Indian Garden is a top quality Indian restaurant. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was clean tasting and fresh. I had poppadoms with different chutneys as an appetizer, onion bhaji for starter followed by Chicken Phall accompanied with a plain naan and...

This was a lovely experience. Great food and lovely service in pleasant surroundings. We had poppadoms and dips, starters of vegetable samosas & onion bhajis, mains of vindaloo & phaal with onion rice and mushroom rice and naan breads. An excellent meal at a very...

I had a fabulous meal at this restaurant, booked as part of a group, well worth a visit if your visiting the Orkney islands.

Went for the wednesday night special the starters off chicken pakora and chicken tikka were tiny morsels the lamb was missing the vindaloo and the chicken tikka buhna was passable overall we left feeling that supermarket microwave dinners would have been taster and more filling

We visited the restaurant tonight and took advantage of the Wednesday night deal. A starter, main, rice, side dish and naan for 12 quid. We had some poppadums first which were extra and very good. The mains were chicken saag and dhansak. They were very...

Worst place I’ve ever been. The menu had far too many choices and was a bit confusing. Service was terrible, the dishes were not what we ordered and even something as simple as bringing two cokes to the table took forever. In the end they...

We used both the takeaway and restaurant during our visit and the food was great from both. Restaurant isn’t licensed so it’s byob. Big menu with lots of choice. Can recommend the wedding chicken and the lemon rice was great!

Really poor food poppadoms were soft pickle tray suspect tikka main meal tasted of cheese worst Indian I have ever had and got overcharged too by 8 pound

The Indian Garden restaurant in Kirkwall, Orkney, has the best food of any restaurant in Kirkwall. My husband and I spent a week in Kirkwall and ate at all the major restaurants in town. For our last Orkney dinner we chose to return to the...

This was quite simply the best Indian food we have ever tasted in the UK ( we’ve had better elsewhere). The unassuming building has very good decor once inside. Vasi the waiter was charming. We didn’t realise the restaurant was unlicensed so a quick trip...

Always use this place while in Orkney and had carryouts two nights running.The portions are large,delicious and well worth paying for.

Starters onion bhaji and samosas were greasy and unimpressive. Mains veg jalfrezi had ridiculous amount of chilli, which we couldn't eat, it was so hot. No licence. Indifferent service. Gang of foulmouthed slobs provided an unpleasant atmosphere. The worst Indian meal we have ever had.

Excellent Indian meal and helpful staff - including Chris. The restaurant was busy and all staff were polite and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would visit again - no hesitation.

This was a disappointing meal. There was no clear indication on the specials section of the menu about the heat of the dishes, with one or two exceptions. I suppose I should have asked rather than assume that what I ordered would not be exceptional,...

greasy tasteless rubbish thrown down infront of you. we were expected to eat fast and get out so they can use our table. some of our food didnt arrive and most of it was cold.

We went there tonight as a party of 11. Shown to our table promptly, After that it was nothing but a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Our waiter was a great laugh joking the entire way through the meal. The food was delicious, a full range...

Lamb Rogan Josh takeaway was pretty tasteless. Naan was half the size you would usually get and tasted like a supermarket naan, Really disappointing.

had a takeaway meal for 3 people on sunday june2nd 2019, we had 3 starters and 3 main courses, the food cost £41 which included a 10% discount for self collection, the food was excellent and very tasty, my problem is with the lack of...

This was such a disappointment. The "lamb" in the Tiger Lamb was completely inedible and the sauce do sweet it was sickly. Someone forgot to put the spices in. The garlic naan was so undercooked, it was almost dough. The poppadoms were so soggy, I...

We stayed in Orkney last night and had intended visiting the other Indian restaurant which is closed for refurbishment, very glad we discovered Indian Garden as a result. The food was excellent - my friend and I like to try different dishes and the Bangladeshi...

I believe that there are three elements to eating out – the food, the surroundings, and the atmosphere. It was our wedding anniversary, we wanted to go out for a meal, so we thought we’d give The Indian Garden a try. It’s really nice –...

We have previously had a very enjoyable meal in this restaurant. Today we opted for a takeaway from an extensive menu. Our order was ready for us at the agreed time, portions were large, prices were reasonable and we all enjoyed our meal.

Indian food is a nice switch from fish and chips and other English food after a while. The coconut rice and garlic naan go well with the chicken and lamb curry we tried. Our waiter Chris was attentive and personable, so we returned the same...

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place that was open for dinner in Kirkwall so we had limited options but we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed our meal! Our waiter was really friendly and accommodating and even handed me a...

Have been a couple of times in the last six weeks and food and service have been very good both times. Wednesday night special is really good value and plenty to eat. The naan's were particularly good!

It was a relatively quiet Thursday evening and we asked for a quiet table as my husband has hearing problems. The Romanian waiter, Kris, was very attentive and kindly turned the muzak down so that he could hear what we were saying to him. The...

4 of us went for a sit down meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was hot and tasty. The Nan’s were big as were the papadams (compared to Australia). All 4 of us enjoyed the meal.

We were visiting the Island for a small holiday and decided to order a take away. We rang first to check they'd deliver to our location and gave then our exact location. The chap said they deliver but it'll be about 1 hour. So we...

We were told this place wasn’t up to much by a local but I’m so glad we didn’t listen to them!! It was lovely. The Tandori mixed grill was the best I’ve had, the naan bread was so good we ordered an extra one between...

Bit disappointing to be honest. Went in and ordered and said I'd be back in 10 mins as I had a couple of messages. Sat down on return and 25 minutes later was asked what I had ordered. Turns out the food was in the...

Food was amazing and the service was equally the same. Very happy with it will definitely return :) definitely recommend coming here!

Great food, fantastic service. Great atmosphere. Nothing to much trouble for the staff. Will be back.

Indian Garden was superb. Our curries- shashlick and vegetable malaya (korma with pineapple) were delicious. Service was excellent- friendly, polite and welcoming staff. Loved the thoughtful touches of the fresh roses on each table, the funky colourful lighting and unintrusive yet funky Bhangra trance. We...

We had only arrived in Orkney in the afternoon, so the Kirkwall Indian restaurant was a spur of the moment choice. We weren't disappointed; the food was really good, there was a choice of beers and the service was fine, although it did seem that...

Visited twice in the last few weeks Tonight visited with my son Table service was excellent attentive but not intrusive I had the Naga special my son had the vindaloo Both curries were excellent quality Resturant is clean and nicely decorated creating a nice atmosphere...

This was a lovely little restaurant. Pleasant decor and lighting. Relaxing background music. Fresh flowers on every table (a nice touch) Service was quick and friendly. The menu contained all the usual options plus one or two new to me. Our meals were delicious and...

This was our second visit to the Indian Garden since it’s new owners. The restaurant is bright and modern, the staff very welcoming. The menu is extensive with old favourites and some more less common dishes. These are well worth trying. The first time we...

We had 2 takeaways and they were both really good .The restaurant looked nice too . Was recommended by a local resident so that is always a good sign

A BYO Indian, which makes a great change from overpriced Cobra. Food was good, slightly mild for our tastes, but everyone’s different. Dhal soup, veg jalfrezi and Tiger lamb all good. Great service, too. You won’t go far wrong here.

Heard great things about the Indian Garden since it's makeover so on a recent visit we went for a family meal. I was so pleased everything was transformed, it was clean with friendly helpful staff and the food was delicious and not too expensive, there...

The food is OK, we especially enjoyed cauliflower bhaji. They do use spices and the menu clearly states what to expect in terms of the amount of them. Our waiter was a nice, chatty guy. They should expand the descriptions in the menu, not everybody...

A very Nice restaurant in Kirkwall. Special menue on Wednesday, where you van order a complete menue for onlusten £ 11.95 with a wilde Choice from many dishes, also vegetarian. The restaurant is not allowed to serve alcoholic drinks, however you can bring your own...
