Really superb, food, staff, price, couldn't fault a thing. If you're ever in doubt where to go in Nairn go here. Four of us in our party are well versed in the Indian places in Aberdeen, this place more than held it's own, couldn't fault it.

Second Time we have had a takeaway when staying in Nairn. The food is amazing. Ordered Lamb Tiger Khan for my wife and Lamb Madras extra spicy for me. The owner suggested I have it with added Garlic & Chilli and wow it was absolutely amazing full of texture, heat & flavour. Would highly recommend. The staff are so helpful and polite, can't wait to return.

My only problem with the food is how Westernized it all was. Everything lacked any flavor complexity and was extremely mild, even the things that were supposed to have some kick. My Indian boyfriend was extremely disappointed. I did enjoy the Tiger Khan Lamb, but even there I'd say it needs some cumin powder, coriander powder, and chili powder (or black pepper), to start.

First of all, we were welcomed in a cold atmosphere by two young girls (waitresses) who were literally sulking. One of the two asks me if I want a special starter that is on the menu, I ask her what this dish is, she tells me that she doesn't know, it's off to a good start Then the Indian breads are not even real, they are pizza dough breads, there coconut rice is simply sprinkled with coconut shavings I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant, the atmosphere is enough to scare away customers.

Ten points for service and for the food. Lovely people who are aiming to please and to help you. We got a guided tour through the menu (we were first time tandoori tasters). Recommended for those important things. We got distracted by the idea this would only be a takeaway, but it surely is more then that. Nice ambience as a restaurant. Price is good. Quality of the food is very good. Don't miss this restaurant, near to Inverness.

On holiday touring the Highlands with friends and we chose this very nice Indian Restaurant for dinner. We made the right choice! We had a Chicken Bhuna with Pilau Rice and Garlic Naan (absolutely delicious, with meltingly tender chicken and perfect rice and Naan). My son had a Chicken Jalfrezi which was very spicy he said, as it should be. My two friends both had a Lamb Karahi and finished every mouthful!. The whole meal was great, washed down with some Kingfisher Lager. The restaurant was very busy (Saturday night) and the staff were friendly and attentive but not intrusive. All in all, a very nice meal and we would highly recommend!

Staying in Nairn for one night for work I was drawn to the Nairn Tandoori to test out my favourite Jalfrezi, it didn’t disappoint, just the right amount of sauce and green chilli’s combined with keema rice it was delicious and I scored it a 10. The staff were polite and knowledgeable and I’ll definitely return when in the area.

Food is okay. Everything is sweet and lacks salt (just like any Bangladeshi restaurant in Scotland). This is NOT Indian food, its a attempt to make Indian food by Bangladeshi chef who had only heard about Indian food in stories. If you crave Indian food, there are limited options in Inverness but if you have no choice then give this place a try.

Really flavorful, spicy dishes! Dhansak was a new dish to me, so I got it with a side of mushroom bhaji. Both were excellent, but the dhansak was an intense medium spicy that had me sniffling and looking for lassi (the restaurant doesn't serve it). They also don't serve chai tea, so I was a bit disappointed by the beverage options. Alcohol is also unavailable, but they have no problem if you bring your own. They did have garlic naan which was fab. For the flavors and service, I'd go back, but it felt so unlike a typical Indian restaurant, I'd also like to try somewhere else.

Extremely rude. When I enquired the reason for treating customers rudely , the restaurant receptionist asked us to get out!. Not only that ,they are such a liar when responding to the review. They are open throughout the afternoon,but responded as just opened to answer the review. There was nobody in the whole restaurant, I think nobody bother to come due to their rude behaviours ,only takeaways. They confirmed their phone number to confirm that their receptionist was rude ,but not apogized for that , but asked us to get away. They are horrible! Thank god nearby restaurant ' Royal bengal' was there. Save yourself , don't visit them. They are dishonest in their reply, god knows what they are feeding you!

Given the reviews available I was expecting better of the food. The batter on the pakora would have been better on a banana fritter, it was thick and heavy unlike any gram flour batter I have ever had. The curries were good but the naan bread was like uncooked pizza dough and not enjoyable at all. The staff were not jovial and involved as previously described in one review but uninterested. The menu, as in the leaflets picked up the day before did not exist, no buffet and no set meals. Rating as a 2 is me being very generous

We visited Nairn for a weekend and decided to have a meal out. Being fans of Indian food we decided on the Nairn Tandoori. This was our first visit, and will definitely be our last. I booked a table for 6.30 and we were there on time. On booking, I specifically mentioned that I would need a high chair for our granddaughter, this was not in place when we arrived and we had to wait around five minutes before it arrived. It took a further five minutes or so before a waiter came near us to ask if we wanted poppadoms and we ordered three. Six arrived, more than were ordered and were shown on the bill! It took another few minutes before we were asked for a drinks order, that was another laboured effort as most of the drinks ordered from the drinks menu were not available. Eventually we got our drinks. Then another wait to order food! Eventually we placed our order, received the food which was okay, possibly the worst example if a tandoori chicken ever though! Overall, the food was okay, the service though left a lot to be desired, insufficient staff even for the small number of patrons in. Safe to say that we will not be back on any future visit to Nairn

Very disappointed in the Tandoori chicken we had as a lockdown treat.

The chicken was dry and tough not what I would expect from a restaurant named Nairn Tandoori.
