Karma in West Lothian

Nice meal although small portions and cool

It was the most delicious indian takeaway I have ever ordered! Great taste and reasonable price 👌

Hadn't been to the karma for a few years as moved away from the area so I was delighted to see it was still as lovely inside as I remembered and the staff very welcoming also the food was lovely a great menu and a really nice atmosphere

Lovely time at Karma as always! Food 10/10, very friendly staff & great atmosphere - as always. We have been going to Karma for 22 years now and always have the same great experience. This place is a must for those who haven’t tried it.

First class food and service. Never had a bad meal from them. Highly recommended...

The food and service were amazing. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was missing though.

the worst chickan korma I've ever eaten. spicy, completely unsweet. big disappointment. never again

Absolutely fantastic experience for a couple of first timers. We both love Indian food and had been recommended this for my girlfriends birthday. I’m glad we booked it but I’m sorry I’ve missed out on this place all these years. It’s right on my doorstep with only a 10 minute drive. The car park around the back just isn’t big enough for how busy the restaurant is. It’s a very large place and mostly booked full. So it was just by chance there was 1 space available when we drove into the car park. Watch out for broken glass! Hopefully it’s not like that all the time. The entrance is very nice and welcoming. As soon as you walk through the doors from the chill of the outside you walk into a nice warm environment. The staff were extremely pleasant and welcoming. I think in total we had 4 servers take care of us. Which must have been hard work for everyone considering every table in the place was full and also they were busy with takeaways. The starter was very nice and we shared the chicken pakora. Not long after the main arrived, presented very well from the waiter. Big portions for both of us, and difficult to finish it all. Then dessert arrived….. AMAZING. The chocolate melt done exactly that, melted in my mouth and was highly enjoyable. It may have been our first time, but it definitely will not be our last. We plan to make this a regular occurrence when we fancy eating out at an Indian. Highly recommend to anyone looking to give it a try.

Was in last Wednesday, I had the Lamb Rogan Josh, it was 1 of the best curries I have had, staff were great, was my first time here, wont be my last!!

Awesome food for good prices. Really good service.

Love the food here. Staff professional.

Surprised to be charged £5 for two poppadoms and an onion spice dip, prior to our Starters. Okay, mediocre food. Great staff.

First time there food was amazing and staff were so friendly.

Remarkably good food, well served in a spot you wouldn't expect. I had a paneer vindaloo, and asked for hot. It didn't disappoint. The rest of the party had dishes like lamb desai. All were happy with their food, and the starters were great too.

We arrived mid evening to find that the restaurant was completely empty and it remained so during the course of our meal. The service was polite and superficially pleasant with a sleightly patronising feel to it.This included what could best be described as waffle.The waiter appearing abit to keen to push sales and his own recommended dishes. He responded to our sharing a rice by stating that rice was such an individual choice. The inference being buy two different ones which was further backed up with him informing us that it was very small portion anyway.Due to not being terribly hungry the advice was ignored on both counts and the original choice stood His insistening that the portions were very small did however prove to be entirely correct. Overpriced and bland the rice was worth half the money at best, being presented in a mold that was approximately the size of a small China tea cup. The food can only be described as bland with a chicken dish that had a very poor consistency and appearance. The sauce was thick and had poorly cooked onion and pepper thrown into the mix Similarly the vegetarian option was also bland and had an unpleasant texture. Of some note I have had an extremely upset stomach within an hour after eating here. I do not conclusively claim that it was due to eating here.However I feel that it is worth adding and will leave readers to draw their own conclusions.

Absolutely amazing food, great choice and piping hot. Service impeccable, would not hesitate to recommend

First time having an Indian and can honestly say that the food was fantastic

I was really disappointed tbh.. we had chicken pakora.. it was more like kids popcorn chicken it was soft not crispy & only Luke warm despite me driving down to collect it?.. Never in my life have I had a garlic & coriander naan that has been painted bright orange on one side.. was chewy bland & also cold with no sign of either garlic or coriander?? At £4 each they were very small.. like the budget shop bought ones in a 4pack.. The tikka garamasala.. was very watery & not a creamy texture that one looks forward to.. I will not be returning.. & we are now having a sandwich for dinner instead.. if there was a zero star I’d have given that..

Karma deserves every single bit of praise and more that has been mentioned on here. It’s also clear to see why they have won so many awards. The food and service were outstanding from start to finish. Staff were very attentive, helpful and happy to offer advice and answer any questions about the menu. The tandoori ribs for starter were cooked perfectly and likewise the main meal of chicken tikka tandoori masala was full of flavour and very high quality. Dessert menu had a variety of choices but myself and my wife both opted for the chocolate melt. Again, very very good. The whole experience from start to finish was memorable and I can honestly say this is up there with one of the best places I have visited. Will definitely be back again!

Wonderful pleasant staff. Quality food and no rushing because ' we need that table in 90 minutes'. It's just a really nice, quality restaurant. Recommended.

Ordered a takeaway. Normally the food and service is exceptional. Tonight however the food was cold. Not necessarily the restraunts fault , maybe delivery service? Won't let this opinionated future orders

Great food in a spacious and airy restaurant. Staff super-friendly too. What a great find. PS they have their own car park too, but finding parking on the main road was fine.

Haven't been here for a few years, but still as good, service and food excellent, would definitely recommend

Great food as always. Highly recommend eating here.

Great food, reasonable price, good, quick service. Has been consistently good over the years, a safe bet for some good nosh.

Food is mostly bland. The staff was extremely lovely, atmosphere is amazing, I would recommend for those who don't like too much flavouring in their food.

Food was not great as we expected to be. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic

Best Indian food ever staff very welcoming and friendly

I ordered take away from here last night. Ordered at 5.30 and it arrived at 8.20 I understand this was because of a breakdown which happens. I called at 7 to chase up the order and was gruffly told someone would call me back. Nothing. Rang again at 7.25 and got the story about the delivery car breakdown. Apparently food was to be made fresh and sent out. Arrived at 8.20 and no was was it fresh. Was cold, chicken rubbery, rice hard, pakora soggy. Not even an apology, a complimentary item or drink or voucher or anything. Emailed to complain and no response. May aswell have taken £25 out of the cashline and set it on fire

Booked a table for my family. Food was first class.tika chasni was brilliant. Accomadated my daughters allergies brilliant. Dep and jag were on front of house. They were brilliant with kids . Highly recommend.

Celebrated birthday with family and friends and was a really enjoyable night out. Food was amazing and plenty to choose from the menu. I asked for a recommendation and was pleasantly surprised by a king prawn dish that was made for me too. There was another birthday party, as well as many other tables filled on a week day evening and didn’t deter from a great and friendly service. I highly recommend this restaurant and worth booking a table. Enjoy.

Went for a big family dinner. The set menu was great & they were very accommodating to some of our unique requests that went a bit off the menu. The food was amazing & the service more than amazing. It's always been to a very high standard & in a comfortable, not overly formal setting. Everyone said how good the food is & what an amazing time we all had. I usually get a pick up for a chicken tikka meal & share it with my mum when I'm through visiting from miles away as its always the best. Definitely be booking future big family lunches there again as everyone was happy & it's excellent value for money :)

Family night out, great welcome and overall service. Food good, korma a bit bland, but other curries good.

Not been in a long long time Passing by and thought I would pick up a takeaway Same quality as I remember, the mark of a very good restaurant I need to go back and enjoy a sit in meal

We called in on way home from Livingston on the hoof and were not disappointed. The staff are friendly and informal and the restaurant itself is clean and welcoming. The food was delicious, we had poppadoms with spiced onions, chicken pakora, chicken tikka masala, chicken tikka rogan josh, rice and garlic nan as well as movenpick ice cream. The food quality is excellent and was piping hot. All positive and will definitely return but a set early evening menu would be a welcome addition.

Lovely restaurant with great food & welcoming atmosphere! We had a lovely meal on valentines night, we both ordered a curry each with pakora & chicken chaat to start. The serving staff were very knowledgable about the menu & attentitive to us throughout the evening. The food was the star of the show - everything was so delicious! Can’t recommend karma enough, we will definitely be back soon

Decent Indian food, midweek dinner so place was quiet, prices have gone up quite a bit since last visit, nice standard of decor and service

Absolutely fantastic. Food was excellent, but service was top class. Definitely recommend.

Went here with some mates the other day, and we were all really impressed with Karma! Very friendly, knowledgeable staff and the food was fantastic. Will defo go back. Thanks guys 👌

Food was lovely Inc the naans and Swiss ice cream mmmm

Great food, great service and reasonable price. It was very busy on a Saturday night and no one was waiting on food. They also offered us their daily special Paneer Tandoori. All in all a great night for a party of 7

We are extremely lucky that this restaurant is practically on our doorstep. The food and service are always outstanding. Thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic restaurant. Staff were incredible and extremely friendly. Food was flawless and the atmosphere of the restaurant was 10 out of 10.

My first time here and I can honestly say it was a fantastic experience and the food was excellent. The staff were extremely attentive, their knowledge of the menu and recommendations were on point. If you haven't been then definitely make a point to visit. There is a comprehensive menu that carers for all and did I mention the food was excellent.

Excellent. Was there on a quite Tuesday evening and was not disappointed. Quite the opposite. Servers were excellent, knowledgeable, unobtrusive and had a bit of sparkle about them. Food ? What can i say. Fantastically tasty and good portion sizes. Cannot rate highly enough.

Excellent food, excellent service. 10/10

Best Indian in the Central Belt 👌 food is lovely and fresh , restaurant is modern and the staff are more than happy to tell you about any particular dish . Amazing !!!

Great service, great food, and an atmosphere reflecting perfectly the restaurant theme. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to try Indian (Punjabi) food.

I just had one of the most delicious lamb of my life! The best Indian I've ever had. What a treat. All the food was tremendous. Lovely staff and really good value for fantastic food and service.

Service was terrible. We waited 20 mins to order desert. But table next to us got 4 visits from staff. We finally got attention then asked for bill instead of desert. Great food but a special night ruined by poor service . Table next to us must be big tippers go get all attention . Ignore the other paying customers.

A proper dining experience for myself, big brother Robert and his partner Jan, who were not disappointed with the service, taste and portion. I happily recommend Karma and will definitely go again, both dine in and take away.

First time there. Great food. I'll be back

We enjoyed a very fine and tasty meal. The food and service was excellent. I would happily visit again and recommend this restaurant for curry.

Great food, great atmosphere and really friendly people. We were a fairly big party and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

We had an incredible dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend a visit to indulge in some amazing flavors.

Best Indian restaurant outside of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Fantastic menu with all you would expect from a great restaurant. My favourites are lamb Rogan Josh and Cabli Chana (chickpeas) What sets Karma ahead of all others is food quality and the service, the team at Karma are fantastic and make every visit a great experience

The wife and I travel from Newmains to eat here, the food is excellent it's a family owned business with a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Staff are always helpful and the service is excellent.

Lovely food staff & surroundings very nice. Only thing food was a bit overpriced. Waiter asked if we would like some pompodoms & spiced onions which we said yes got 2 pompodoms & a small dish of onions it was 5.00 Most restaurants give you them complimentary

The best curry around can't find any better, even in Glasgow and Edinburgh. DONT let outside the building put you off. Very clean, well decorated in side

Always visit this restaurant when I am in Scotland. The food is always tasty. I sometimes ask to change some dishes and sometimes ask the chef to create a surprise dish for me too. Nothing is too difficult. The portions are great and plenty of meat/fish given. The service is always greeted with a smile and very helpful when needed. To dine out is very comfortable and also provides takeaway service too. Highly recommend and enjoy.

Superb food and friendly welcome. Can definitely recommend the South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken. A sweeter than usual sauce, but delicious. Wide menu.

First visit and wow, blown away by the freshness and flavours of the food served to us, definitely be back soon, 👍😋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I enjoyed the meal, but the main reason I gave it a three out of five, is because i’m pretty sure my meal was incorrect. I chose the South Indian Chilli and Garlic and it was sweet. This is my go to curry and i’ve never had it sweet before. Nothing really stood out for me and I had high hopes for this place.

Delicious meal, perfect portions and excellent service as always... Thanks for a great night 😁 Definitely be back again ❤️

Very disappointed meal was not great and was very expensive not worth the money

Amazing food, kind staff, and beautiful atmosphere! Brought my family here- everyone loves it so much! Definitely coming back…!! VERY recommend!👏

Madras sauce was burnt tasting went in bin. Korma had 5 small pieces of chicken. Vegetable pakora was hard nearly had a tooth out no joke. Set meal£27 stay clear is my opinion

Amazing food as per normal and lovely staff.

Waited an hour and a half on delivery. Had to phone to chase. This has happened multiple times when ordering delivery.

Went for Valentine’s Day dinner. Service was impeccable and food was absolutely delicious. One of the best Indians I have ever had. Made the special night even more special by tailoring to our needs amazingly. Even gave my partner and I a rose each at the end of our meal and called us both pretty, I was happy to receive this compliment as I’m normally looked over in that regard haha. 100/10 , will be back. Thank you Karma!

Been coming to Karma for a number of years and over the past couple months we have noticed that the portion sizes are in free fall. We had an order a couple of nights ago and noticed the naan bread is now half the size, the pakora is the size of my thumb and the chicken tikka portion has been cut and the sauce is full of water. When your charging these prices it’s really not on!

Had a lovely meal delivered and it was delicious

First time and loved it. Good service and the food was brilliant. Definitely will be back

Best Curry house in Bathgate area. Korma was superb, rice was perfect and bread was spot on.

Excellent food good value good portions

Lady that answers the phone sounds miserable and is rude. Same when collecting food. Always seems like you are an inconvenience to her. Food is always good.

Great food friendly staff highly recommended

Visited here for dinner for my son’s birthday. Everyone had a beautiful meal and I even had alcohol free cobra lager which was lush! Highly recommended and will definitely be back. All staff were also very knowledgeable regarding food and drink

Lamb malada with desi rice , will recommend 👌

Have been a few times, never disappoints, plenty of choice and friendly service

Lovely food great service, highly recommended

Manager is a hot headed and can't control his temper.

Best Indian I have eaten in a long time. Do t let the exterior put you off. Ask for the lamb special - their mums own recipe. It was amazing…

I work in the area and I was told that the restaurant was good. We visited today after shopping in Livingston. The food was served quickly and efficiently by friendly helpful staff. Our meals were delicious, my only negative point would be the portion size of the Chicken Pakora at £5.50 compared to the carry out portion(which I’ve purchased previously) during my working week. Lovely atmosphere, pleasant decor. Worth travelling to.

Service was excellent and food was gorgeous. An excellent dining experience.

We are locals, and regular Karma visitors. Sitting in or takeaway, the food is always first class. The staff are great, always friendly and helpful. Had many curries around the UK, but none beat the Karma. Always bring far-off work colleagues here, if they are in the vicinity, and every one has been more than impressed, also.

Excellent dinner all meals were delicious

I have just had the best spicy Chicken Madras and Aloo Gobi and plain naan I have had in years . The food was freshly cooked and just the perfect. Congratulations and thanks all behind the scenes.

Food was great and the servers were attentive and quite funny

Couldn't fault this place. Great staff but the food was amazing. Really strong flavours, it was like a little party in my mouth! Will definitely be calling when I'm up in Scotland again

Delicious and great staff / service!

First visit and both the food and the service were excellent. Even though it was mid week and we hung about we were not rushed in any way. Looking forward to a return visit.

Just had another delicious takeaway from the Karma. Food absolutely delicious and piping hot. By far our favourite Indian.

Got takeaway value for money food great

I was visiting friends in Bathgate and wanted to treat them to a takeaway. Ordered over £70 worth of food which we were looking forward to as Karma had been highly recommended. The food arrived and it was almost cold. The starters were all soggy, the Nan Bread was hard, the Chicken Tikka Sherabi is described as not sauce based but it came in a sauce. It is against food hygiene regulations to sell food that is not at the correct temperature as this could cause food poisoning!!! I have contacted Karma but have not had a reply which is very poor service indeed!!!!

Wow. The food is amazing. Staff were great. Lovely wine with the meal. Wanted more, but the belly was ready to pop. 😋😋😋

The Chicken masaladar was amazing but the Lamb tandoori was dry, the sauce that came with it tasted like spicy lentil soup and the naan was average. Very disappointed

Been once before and will visit again and again. Realised walkable from our house, added bonus. Service is spot on from the very moment you arrive. Food is hot, fresh and mega tasty! Great value for money, although don’t think it’s a cheap night as food is too tasty to walk away with one course. Definitely be back

Fantastic tasty food, my sons love there authentic recipes. Service with a smile and can't do enough for you. Very clean restaurant. Will be back there korma and butter chicken are one if the best I've tasted.

Polite and helpful staff. I wasn’t sure what to order as I don’t enjoy a lot of spice and the waiter recommended the Masaledar, it was delicious! My partner had the bhoona and really enjoyed his too. The Chicken is so tender, we will definitely be back.
