I have now been anfew times to ness mahal for dinner and every time the food & service has been exceptional! It is now my go to Indian restaurant in Inverness! The food is honestly delicious, portion sizes are big (which I love). I always have leftovers which the staff are more than happy to put into take out boxes for you. Looking forward to my next meal!

Had a lovely meal today, went to go to normal restaurant, Sam’s or Rajah but both were closed. Wasn’t too sure whether to try the now new Ness Mahal (previously know as Indian Ocean) but so pleased I did! Had a prawn puri starter which is the best I’ve tasted in Inverness followed by Prawn Dhansak, pilau rice and Bombay potatoes. Ordered too much and took the rest home for dinner, will definitely be back!

Food cooked fresh to order. Good service. Good food. It would be helpful to have both cash and a card—in case their card machine decides not to cooperate as it did with my card tonight. Not their fault, but I was there for a while trying to pay for my food. No complaints otherwise. Eat here!

Dit restaurant in twee opvolgende jaren bezocht voor een lunch tijdens een koude en natte schotland tour. Hier knap je van op. Fantastisch authentiek Indiaas eten. Goede sfeer. prima tafels en zitcomfort. Opvallend veel aziatische bezoekers. Zoals in heel Schotland willen de restaurants om 14.00u graag de lunch afsluiten, iets om rekening mee te houden.Hele keurige prijzen.Hun Peshwari nan is absoluut goddelijk.

Took my mum in here as it was close to our accommodation. Very pleasant waitress, very helpful. My Mother does not have a large appetite and we both wanted smaller portions but we were refused. The waitress was very apologetic but this did not help us. We placed an order but were unable to finish our meal, so they wasted food and we wasted money. Would not go back, not very accommodating at all.

We stopped over for one night on our north coast 500 tour and found this by chance. It wasn’t busy and we got our food quickly. The staff were lovely, chatty and accommodating. My husband had the lamb purdina and said it was one of the nicest curries he’d had. Mine was lovely too but he particularly impressed with this dish. We enjoyed it so much that we visited again on the return leg of our journey and had been advised to call to reserve a table as it was a Saturday night. We called at 6 and had a lovely meal again at 9.30. But busier this time as you’d expect but was equally as pleasant and would highly recommend.

On entering the restaurant it was fairly empty, it was only 7pm so we thought it would get busier. My main course tasted bland and the chicken was chewy, we were very disappointed as having read previous reviews we had high expectations for an excellent meal. We also found the restaurant quiet with other guests listening to our conversation , we could not wait to leave, we also had to double check the card payment as we were overcharged and had to point out the mistake to the staff member. A very disappointing experience, would not return.

We called to place an order, as we have food allergies this is the best protocol rather than ordering online. The place didn't pick up so we assumed they were closed, however we received a call back instantly with an apology, we were able to place our order, drive to get it (20 mins or so) and they called us when it was ready, when we told them we were just parking they assured us it was no rush.

We discovered this hidden gem while travelling to Inverness and liked it so much, we went twice in as many days. They make some of the best curry we've had anywhere in the world. We were especially impressed with the Goan fish curry, which was so good we ate all of it before even noticing there was other food on the table. Highly recommend.

With a takeaway it is always hit and miss on how well the food travels etc when delivered to your home. We were staying with relatives and we ordered a meal of a mixed starter and a chicken Tikka starter. The mains of Tiger by the Sea, Chicken Madras, King Prawn Jalfrezi and a chicken tikka main, accompanied by 2 portions of pilau rice and two nan breads came to a substantial £68.00. Quite expensive for a. takeaway. The meal was accompanied by two free popadoms and chutney. Nothing wrong with the food, but the mixed starter was a disappointment and looked a mess. The nan breads did not travel well and were dry and rubbery. Very regrettably they failed to send the sauce with my main Chicken Tikka dish which made it very dry eating and actually spoiled my meal. The supposed side salad accompanying my meal was a joke. I have never seen anything so pathetic; a tiny amount of lettuce, small piece of cucumber and what looked like an eight of a tomato! You really do need to address these issues if you are going to charge such priced

To start with, this is not an Indian restaurant!! It is a restaurant that attempts (a bad one at that) to serve Indian cuisine but has nothing Indian about it. The servers are rude and have no knowledge about the food that is served. They got offended when we asked them questions and gave us sarcastic remarks like “you have been reading the menu so you should have read about it”. Then we were forced to order all our food at once (including breads like Nan, which cannot be eaten when cold) because we were ordering at 830 and their kitchen closes at 10!! And when we attempted to understand the reason for this rudeness, we were told that the person talking to us was the owner and he does not like to talk much!! I have never heard more bizarre arguments ever. Honestly, we never forced the owner to come to work and if the guy does not love talking then he should be doing something else in life than waiting tables at a reasonably high priced restaurant. Basically, all the people from Indian subcontinent that try and pass off their recipes and food as “Indian” should do so only after experiencing Indian culture and hospitality too. Otherwise, they would just ruin the experience and image of Indian food and cuisine. In India, guests are treated well and respected and the whole experience is important to bring Indian-ness to eating your food. Our experience at Scottish and British eateries was much better with extremely helpful servers and staff, though these are the people who are considered to have a stiff upper lip!! As regards the food, it was pretty ordinary too. Again, these chefs from Indian subcontinent who have no experience with Indian food, believe that Indian curry is all about adding red chilli powder and artificial colours to make the food look funny orange or red!! They don’t understand the spices and the aroma and what a flavourful curry is. All in all, disappointing eating experience and even worse was the heart break I felt about unaware people misusing “brand India” without having any sense or understanding of Indian culture. A note and a request to all diners who would still want to go this place - please don’t judge Indian food and hospitality basis what you see there.

When it finally came, the delivery person asked for payment. I told him we paid over the phone. He said he’d have to call and check on that. No apology for the delay.

We booked the table for 07:45 PM. When we reached there the table was not available ( this is just the start). After 15 mins we got a table, and it took a long time for us to order. When we requested the gentleman to take our order, he started behaving rudely and told me the he is busy. After a long delay we were able to place the order. It took another eternity to get the food delivered which was deliberately delayed by the same waiter as people who came after us got their order first because I made a mistaking by asking the person to take the order.

We ordered a just eat takeaway for this place and first of all it ended up like the latest Kevin Bridges sketch where we were all looking out the window wondering where the takeaway was. The time finally came when it was about 45 minutes away to phone the takeaway. At least it arrived and the order was correct! There were three of us, we each got a main dish each, then ordered one rice, one naan and onion bhajis and that was a perfect amount of food. Cost over £40 including delivery. I ordered the haddock curry, and you may think that is a strange combo, so did I. But oh my I am already looking up recipes to recreate it at home, it was the best dish out of the three by far.

We ordered a takeaway today from the Indian Ocean and it most certainly did not disappoint! Outstanding flavours, delicious tasting and extremely generous portions.

Their Biryani was awesome & was served along with a Veg sabzi. The staff took good care of us & was more than happy to offer us suggestions to visit around Inverness.

I was there with my friends for lunch and chose from their lunch menu. The poppadums were fresh and crispy and the chutney, pickles and sauces were extremely tasty. I also had an onion bhaji for starters which was served with a little side salad. I liked how the waiters did not whisk away the chutneys so I could have them throughout my meal. My prawn madras had plenty of prawns and the sauce was just right. The pilau rice was the nicest I've ever had. Everything was hot and fresh but the food was not heavy in my stomach but I, indeed, felt very satisfied. The waiters were very very attentive and one was delightfully chatty with us. We want to go back to try their tandoori and other fish dishes.

Llegamos a las 19:15 y podría elegir nuestra mesa, el camarero era muy amable. Los papadums eran frescas y 1 de las 4 salsas estaba muy caliente; las otras 3 fueron leves, todo bien!

We had dinner at 9:30pm. Polite staff and good service. Three different mains and all tasty. Small entree compared to some restaurants but affordable taste sensations.

I truly cannot believe the reviews on trip advisor any more. This has to be the worst Indian I’ve ever eaten in, absolutely disgusting!!

Nos pareció que la mejor comida india que he tenido fue en la Madre India en Glasgow, pero este fue golpeado por la comida que nos dieron en la noche del viernes durante nuestra primera visita al Océano Índico en Inverness. Personal amable, y la comida hermosa menú original, sin duda volveremos!

We hadn’t booked and were told on arrival that the restaurant was quite busy so might have to wait.

I live in East London and finding myself in Scotland (Inverness) for a few days I needed my curry fix.

Chosen by chance from the hotel local guide. Very enjoyable Scottish style Indian!

We decided to avoid the potential Friday night rush by dining early so the place was quiet as we'd hoped. The Staff were friendly and welcoming and we were seated straight away. I had the Lamb Bhuna and my husband had the Special Tandoori Chicken with cashews. He said it was the best Indian meal he's had in a long time. Starters, mains and a bottle of wine for £40 was good value in our opinion and we would certainly dine here again when visiting Inverness which we do a few times a year.

Food was delicious. Staff friendly. Can’t fault it. Recommend. That’s all I want to say but apparently I have to write more to satisfy trip advisor. Hope this is now enough for me to be able to submit.

We used The Balti Cottage twice for takeaways while on holiday in Alness. Both times the curries were excellent. They were full of flavour and good quality ingredients. If this takeaway was local to us, we would be there every week. Top class. Unfortunately I can't say the same for their pizzas. Our kid's pizzas were below average and for some strange reason they used a bright red tandoori sauce rather than a traditional tomato sauce on the base. This didn't go down well with the kids and most of it went in the bin. Stick to the curries!
