Nazma Tandoori in Aberdeenshire

Went in on the off chance there was space for 2 and given a table. Our drinks order was taken then it was another 15 mins wait to give our food order - 2 mains & 3 sides. While waiting, there was a constant stream of people waiting for and picking up carry out meals. Our food arrived nearly an hour after our order was taken and, although it was tasty, the wait was too long. The service wasn't very good and it seemed the kitchen and waiting staff were overstretched. Stupidly, we didn't check the bill because we just wanted out, with the result I think we either paid the wrong bill or were overcharged as it was just short of £60. Lesson learned and we will not go back.

Couple of tables in restaurant when arrived then lots more arrived shortly after Not once asked how the food was when we did get it 45mins once ordered, not asked if we would like any more drinks, asked for water never got it Lamb tough, curry sauces lacking seasoning and heat Walls next to tables dirty Hot plate for food also dirty when placed on table Very quick to run after us when I under payed by mistake Wouldn't recomend

We were the only seated diners but there were a few customers ordering tske away food. Service was good - food was tasty and price was reasonable.

This restaurant is absolutely an amazing place. my brother had a spiced lamb biryani and he has said it is the best one he has had. The lamb was melt in your mouth tender. I had a spiced korma and it was fantastic, probably the best one I’ve had in years. my dad is from Birmingham and he reckons that this was the best curry he has ever had too, we will be visiting again with more family. Thank you very much.

Lovely food and great service. Wide selection of food and staff are brilliant for allergies. Would recommend and go again.

Takeaway! Expensive. Quality of the chicken in my Tandoori was poor - gristly in places. Once ordered later told of the large meal I had ordered, enough for two - this was a mistake but order had gone in. I didn't want that size of meal for one. Not much of a selection for the Tandoori albeit copious quantity that was finished the next day - still enough for two! Was not enamoured by mint flavouring over it all. The waiter 'misunderstood' our question regarding size of rice portion and so we ordered more. In fact it was included in my platter so didn't need it. Tikka Masala was okay with generous portion and naan fine. Beer good whilst waiting BUT charged significantly more than stated on menu as prices had increased and not informed of this until payment time. No discount given for takeaway and so reluctant to take card that cash was sought. Sadly, will not be going back as local. No one else in restaurant or takeaway waiting are. two customers arrived as left - not a good sign. Seemed out to extract as much money as possible and little regard for potential of regular returning customer. Just under £70!

It was a real pleasure to eat at Nazma's a few evenings ago.. Especially after all the difficult times everyone has been going through. We were with friends and we all enjoyed our meals so much. Along with our waiter, Nayomi's courteous manner, visiting Nazma was a good experience. All the food was well prepared and delicious. The chef must be congratulated for preparing such delicious food. Highly recommended.

First nazma in years and after terrible day was so looking forward to. What an absolute disappointment. I had a chicken bhuna. It was literally tasteless. My family tasted it in case it was just me and they agreed there was no flavour to it. Will not be back

We tried the Nazma for takeaway instead of cooking one night. The range looked good but when I spotted the meal for two deal was over £60, I almost left as in comparison, another local takeaway charges only £30 for this. However, I decided to persevere with single dishes. We ordered two mains and two sides and it came to just about £40. We cannot fault the food but it was quite pricey and we didn't even get free popadoms.

Had a night away in ellon last night, and decided to go for a meal to the nazma. Very well set up restaurant lovely staff. Food was excellent ordered chicken tikka bhuna and special rice, hubby ordered pathia and rice and Mann bread. Food and dishes were piping hot. Wine was also lovely. Would defiantly recommend.

I purchased a take-away meal for three people last evening. We had three different main courses plus rice, poppadums and naan bread. The food was ready for collection when I arrived and was still hot when I took it to my daughter’s house. My meal of Jalfrezi was insipid with very thin and weak gravy. I could actually taste, in a part of the container, where they had added some curry powder to attempt to make it taste as it should. But it failed.. My daughter and granddaughter said that their meals were okay but as I was paying they may have just been polite.

Use Nazma Ellon all the time for take aways, always brilliant service and quality Had lovely Christmas Day meal too

Outstanding delicious restaurant quality takeaway into your home !!! It’s well worth the journey , Fresh ingredients that no other Indian has matched in my opinion. The starter s are fabulous and also the South Indian is bursting with flavour , chicken korma outstanding for you none spicy personal the nan breads are soft and they way they should be ,overall outstanding and presented well on collection you be not disappointed thanks guys see you soon again

The Nazma was our Indian restaurant of choice for sitting in and takeaway as the food was very tasty and the staff were friendly and offered great service. After a while though we felt the beer and alcohol were becoming too expensive and also the price of the food and we stopped eating here.

Recently tried the Nazma restaurants to see if they were still as good as my previous visits and it did not fail. Highly recommend, the drive to Ellon for me is always worthwhile, friendly staff great food.

Our first time in Nazma for a while. Probably because of the restrictions still in place we were the only customers dining in (there were several 'take-away' orders collected while we were there). A couple of drinks before the meal, a main course and a bottle of wine (not expensive for a restaurant wine), the bill was less than expected. The fairly extensive menu made choosing what to eat a little difficult, but delighted with what we had. Will definitely be back - sooner than later.

Had a take away one night and i can honestly say not disappointed! You can find their menu on the nazma aberdeen website as they are the same.

This food went above and beyond my expectations. Definitely was not expecting it to be as good as it is, from the presentation of the takeaway to the taste of it. Highly recommend everyone from far and wide to visit this gem in this village we call Ellon. Have not had a takeaway as scrumptious as this.

Just had brilliant take away from nazma Ellon great service again U never disappoint Food excellent See u soon

First time I’ve tried this restaurant, nice surroundings, friendly & efficient staff. The meal was superb, definitely recommend you give it a try, I’ll use it again when I’m over in Ellon 🍽🍻

I had a meal here while working locally... the food was very good and the service was too.. just thought that near 40 quid for a starter, a main and 2 beers was a bit rich for what is essentially a standard local, no frills, restaurant..

Take away this evening rather than sit in the restaurant was fabulous just like being there alone the quality of the take away food is just like being there , the fresh ness and flavours bursting with delight and we stay about 20 miles so no problem at all worth the drive many thanks nazma see you for sure again

I reviewed this restaurant about 1 year ago and gave it a very good recommendation and have continued to eat here regularly. Yesterday we ate here as a party of 4 for my son’s birthday and I am now giving Nazma Ellon an Excellent recommendation. Everyone in my party commented how good the quality of the food and service was. My lamb chop starter had plenty of meat on the chops and the taste was superb. It was obvious that every dish was freshly cooked and came out piping hot. The service was attentive without being intrusive.

Food quality is absolutely poor and the price is extortionate. To top it off - the owner’s son, Rumel, has been involved in domestic abuse cases so no wonder he treats the women bad when they come in with his sleaziness.

Disgusting food - came with my partner who is bangladeshi and he heard the person working there saying to dish us old food. Once we confronted the waiter who seemed to be the owner he said it was a joke. I was so uncomfortable as I could feel the waiter staring at me inappropriately. Once the food came it had a horrible smell as if it was out of date

the takeaway is very good, but this can vary from very good to average. Have used Nazma Ellon many times, however over priced in Ellon

4 of us visited recently and 1st impressions are that the interior is prettier than the exterior, so don't let that put you off. It isn't the least expensive Tandoori restaurant I have been in, but then again, the restaurant is well furbished and has white linen table cloths and napkins - nice touch!Service is welcoming and attentive, and all of the dishes we ordered met with expectation of taste and visuals. We shall return, even tho it's a bit out of the way for us.

We booked a table of 17 for our sons 21st birthday and travelled from Peterhead and Aberdeen for this occasion. Nothing was to much trouble, food was outstanding and has a few laughs with staff. Everyone was catered for from meat lovers, vegetarians to 4 year old kids with ants in their pants. No Indian restaurant beats this in my opinion. Highly recommend my favourite dish Green herb chicken.

Excellent food and very helpful service as good an Indian meal as I have tasted Resll worth a visit.

First time for a long time. Was a excellent meal. Will be back with no hesitation and recommend to everyone

Great restaurant as being a regular at the one in Aberdeen thought I give this one a try and it was fabulous the South Indian that my friend had was full of delicious flavours and the Naga that I ordered was the same . The fresh Nan s were fabulous

The Nazma was well recommended to us and we are very pleased we visited.

A first class, well run establishment, run by caring attentive staff. A wide range of succulent dishes, catering for all tastes. Will certainly return.

Takeaway .... great service. Very tasty and large portions equals value for money. Could not fault this restaurant, the service or the food.... excellent

When I last visited, there had been a recent management change...this did not affect the service or quality of food....still excellent !!

Dont eat here often but it is well worth a visit. Pretty extensive menu to cater for all tastes. Service was excellent as well considering one person was covering on a saturday night. Not the cheapest Indian in the area but great quality.

Eat here often staff very helpful and friendly and the food was wonderful as always brought many friends here and they agreed it was wonderful

Was recommended this restaurant by a friend, and I'm so glad we went. From the moment we entered we were met by smiles and laughter by the staff. We were shown to our table and from that moment we were treated like royalty.

We visited on a recommendation from a local and were not disappointed. The vegetarian selection was excellent and different from the usual options. The food was so tasty and felt really healthy, without the excessive grease that can ruin a curry. We were very impressed and would definitely recommend. The service was also very good.

The food served here in excellent but the atmosphere can be somewhat subdued. On our last visit my wife had wine split down her jeans and the only apology was that her wine was refilled. Price-wise it is expensive compared with other curry houses locally but as mentioned the food is very good.

Visit whenever we are with family near Ellon. Always good and always have great service. Good choice of food and things on menu that are different to other Curry houses. Really worth a try.

One of the best local eating places,very good food,with few specialties, friendly staff always open to help you

Excellent food, a menu with a large choice of curries - both hot and mild, and attentive staff. What more can I say.

After a long day of work all the restaurants where fully booked this Saturday. I was starving and was in a bad mood... That all changed, because i saw this piece of Indian kitchen heaven blinding my eyes, the purple lights of this place previewed wonderful kebabs en nice minced meat to pleasure my stomach. And i have to say it was freaking delicious, great food, great staff, hope to come again soon, thanks Nazma

Have just ordered a takeaway and paid £36 for two people. This is the worst meal that I have ever had; the tikka masala is tasteless and gloopy. I have called the restaurant to complain and was told that I had ordered the wrong meal and was very quickly dismissed. We usually go to the Nosheen in ellon and I really wished that we had done this time. This meal is going in the bin!

Without a doubt my favourite place in Ellon for food. I asked for extra meat in my dishes and I was not let down at all. I left with a full stomach! I have since been back monthly! Highly recommend.

This was our first visit to the Nazma and we weren't disappointed. The food was fresh and tasty. Service was quick and professional. Although there were people coming and going for takeaways, we were the only two people eating in the restaurant. The lights went out but we were only in the dark for a few seconds. We were told it was due to the extra heating they had taken in. Despite extra heating, we were cold and I never too off my scarf the entire time we were in. However, it did not affect our enjoyment of the lovely food. Definitely a cut above the norm and we will be back.

Unfortunately this what was excellent take away is rapidly going downhill.

We’ve been getting take away from here regularly for the past couple of years. The food is generally good but sometimes the quality is not so good.

Service was excellent - food delicious and authentic. Nice atmosphere and busy. It was a Saturday night and we called on way home from Aberdeen. Will definitely be back. Very enjoyable!!

We wanted to take our 5 year old daughter out for tea and decided to try a different type of cusine as an experience for her. We decided on Nazmas and weren’t disappointed, the staff are friendly and helpful, advised us on options my daughter may like as an introduction to the Indian cusine and she wasn’t disappointed, it was a mild vegetable sauce with Tandoori chicken, she loved it. We will be back again for sure. Highly recommend the food for both adults and children of all ages. A warm friendly atmosphere this restaurant won’t disappoint.

Went for my sons 20th, food was excellent and the staff all very friendly as usual, I would certainly recommend and will definitely be back soon.

Mi esposa y yo tuvimos una excelente cena! Nuestro servidor, Raz, fue amable y muy profesional. La comida era excelente!

No se puede quejar de la cortesía del personal atento, y sólo tengo elogios para la comida disfrutamos de la cocina.

we go here when we are kid free and wanting to treat ourselves, it is fairly pricey but the food has been excellent every time we have gone there and the fancy coffee burner at the end always pleases me (easy task, obviously). The staff have been friendly in our experience and the place looks well decced out.

Went for a meal and was greeted by dim restraunt lit by blue leds. Could do with a refurb. Food is very good however soo worth a visit if you enjoy indian food. Staff are very helpful. Not cheapest place for what you get. Annoyingly takeaway customers sitting in the restraunt watching you eat. Easy parking

Regular visitors on our trips to Ellon, Nazma is one of the best Indian restaurants in the north east without question. Each dish carefully prepared and delicious. Service is attentive, friendly and respectful..... welcome is always warm.

So pleased to have found this restaurant in Ellon. First class service, surroundings and food really fabulous. Such a good find. Really immaculate decor and cleanliness. They were fine with us just having vegetarian side dishes and were happy to make me dishes that were not on the menu. It is a bit more expensive than your average Indian, but it is really worth it ! Love his place, won't bother trying any other Indian now.

Love the food here. Lots of flavour. Highly recommend it. Nice friendly atmosphere too. Great selection of meals and nice drinks too.

The food at the nazma is lovely; very well presented and tasty, lots of choice. The decor and atmosphere is great, simple and modern. Staff very friendly and professional. Service the last few times has been much improved - previous visits we've had to wait ages for food however this seems to have been dealt with. We would have no hesitation recommending this place

Decided to give this a try last night and we weren't disappointed because the food was excellent, as was the service. There was a big choice on the menu (including for vegetarians) and i had a Sabzi Dall which was really good. My husband had Parsi Chicken and said it was incredibly good. We shared a mushroom pilau rice and a paratha. The portions were big and we couldn't finish them, so took our leftovers home. The staff were lovely and really welcoming. The restaurant inside is nicely decorated, well-lit, clean and tidy. We'll be back as it's well worth the drive from Aberdeen.

One of the best Indian meals for miles.Food always very tasty. Great choices on the menuFriendly and attentive waiters

Clean tidy restaurant. Very presentable smartly dressed proficient staff. Quick serviceFood --Excellent range of dishesGood quality well presented dishesHightly recommended

Have ordered takeaways from The Nazma on several occasions and i've never had any complaints (apart from high prices) before tonight. Everything was bland and tasteless, and definitely not worth the expense. Due to the high prices I wont risk going back.

Great food, not cheap but the best in Ellon, Could do with more atmosphere in restaurant & decoration, very plain inside. Very friendly service.

I've lived in Ellon for 2 years and this is the first time I'd visited Nazma - I went on a Tuesday night with my husband and dad. We didn't book a table as assumed it would be quiet being mid-week which it was. We were greeted warmly and sat straight away and our drinks orders taken and menus given. There's lots and lots of choice and I decided to go for the chicken tikka masalam and pilau rice. My husband and dad also went for curry and rice and we shared 2 naan and a side of the bombay aloo. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food - the only bad thing I can think of was that the cheese naan wasn't very cheesy and was more doughy tasting than anything - that's the only bad point though! The service was quick and friendly throughout and I could not fault it.For the 3 of us the bill came to £80 for poppadoms and accompaniements, 3 mains, 3 rices, 2 naan, a side and 3 drinks and I thought this was good.We would definitey return and I would highly recommend.

Pleasant staff on a quiet week night. The food was tasty and the chicken very moist. Quite pricey for what we had but everyone enjoyed their meal.

We go to this restaurant a few times a year and have always been impressed with the polite, efficient service. Food is well prepared and delicious.Price is a little more than other local establishments offering same type of cuisine but it is worth paying a little more.

Poppadoms and starters came out pretty quickly but from arrival it took 2 hours for our main course to arrive! By that time we were fed up and questioning waiters constantly. Large Table next to us had same problem. It was a Saturday night but something is wrong if you have to wait that long? Food was good but not worth the long wait. There were apologies from waiter but no reason for delay.

Very good food, atmosphere is good too, but food prices are ridiculously high for a curry. We go as a treat and order 3 curries, naan, rice, & chicken tikka starter for baby girl, water for the table & bill is £56. Food is always tasty, but whatever you do don't ask for recommendations. When you do, the recommendation tends to be something basic that costs double what you'd ex to pay. I can get a far cheaper and far better curry traveling to the south of England whilst visiting the parents. We have ordered a takeaway & still good but far better eating it there.

Have used this restaurant previously and normally we are very pleased with both the quality and taste of the food. However, this evening our carry out meal was bland and tasteless and, quite frankly, very disappointing.We were astonished by the price and wonder how the quality of the food justifies the price - it certainly does not! These are serious prices but this restaurant needs to significantly improve on its product if these prices are to be sustainable long term.We are VERY disappointed and annoyed that we have had to pay for such a poor meal.Stop being so complacent!

Modern Restaurant , great service and a quality curry . I am fussy when it comes to Indian food but I could not fault this place . Top marks!

Popped in to get a take away. Not very welcoming staff. First thing that struck me when looking at the menu was how expensive it was compared to other restaurants, including those in Aberdeen city. Worse still, when we got the food home it was very disappointing. More tomato than anything else in both of the dishes, even though we had both ordered very different things. Both dishes barely resembled the description on the menu. They both lacked any real flavour. Will not be returning.

Had a takeaway here and have say it was excellent, the lamb samosas are to die for and the chicken pakora again excellent. The chicken bhuna was tasty as was the chicken tikka masala

This is a decent restaurant and the food is pretty good, however if you go at the weekend and it is busy then be prepared to wait. The kitchen struggles to keep up and appears to prioritise the carry out service to the detriment of sitting customers.

Great food very tasty and the staff were very nice which makes the visit even nicer. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely dead on a Thursday evening. Lots of upselling of extras and starter combos despite already high prices. Food very, very expensive for an Indian restaurant - £170 for 4 people? We didn't have desserts and shared rice, no nan breads and 2 members of the party didn't drink alcohol. The bill itself was impossible to decipher and were charged two different prices for the same bottle of wine? To top it all the food wasn't that great, my 'half' chicken (more like a leg/thigh and part of a side - no breast) was extremely dry. Everyone else seemed to like their food ok though. Don't think i'd return.

We went on the 30th of December with two friends up from Leeds. It wasn't busy by any means, there was one other table. They got the drinks order wrong for starters and the service from then on was not great. Food was nice but not as nice as it was priced. Our friend nearly fainted at the charge of £1.20 per poppadom especially when the Peterhead branch give them away with a take away. I would rate this the bottom of the 3 Nazma restaurants I have visited.

visited the nazma with friends for a friday curry - i would certainly need to think twice before going backfood very average, but top drawer prices and had to get bill changed twice due to arithmetic errors and items on bill not orderedplace is selling itself as up market and charging somewhat higher prices than one would expect to pay for average food - reflected in other reviews£136 for 4 people way over what it was worth

Very good food, slightly over priced. All I would ask is that they stop the up selling, we have been several times and always enjoy the food but we know what we want so no need for them to tell us we want something different or extra. The food and ambience is excellent though.

I visited the Nazma on Sat 5th Mar with 9 friends for a birthday meal. I had been to the restaurant before but not for many years so was looking forward to going back, however I was very disappointed. The service was awful, very rude and impatient waiter and the restaurant was freezing. A few of us ate our meal with our jackets on. The food was really good but I don't think this alone would make me rush back.

If you fancy a meal this place is considered one of the best, with consistent good quality food, I prefer mine cooked from fresh and im prepared to wait, Top tip wait for it cooked from fresh.

We had a Takeaway the other weekend from the Nazma in Ellon. The Takeaway is part of the actual restaurant and hence as you wait, you get a chance to observe both surroundings and diners. The restaurant is very clean and well laid out and always has diners. The staff are very attentive and polite. The food order was on time and hot. The taste is good but couldn't help thinking it is reduced in heat (spice) for the local pallet. Their Chapatis are excellent. Best I tasted in a long time. We had Bhoona which is my yardstick for measurement. It was good but not outstanding. However like everything it is sometimes the chefs taste for the locals. I would go back but it is quite high in price for a takeaway, in my view. Would recommend.

Cannot fault the food - it was very good and tasted fresh for an Indian meal which is a nice change. We had takeaway and thus it was obscenely expensive in comparison to even the best Indian takeaway in Aberdeen. A basic set meal was going to cost over £40 for take away so won't be eating every week!

We have ordered here tonight and was very salty, I had a disgruntled service many years ago and complained and since then if I order in my name it comes very very salty and yet when we go to friends it is beautiful. I spent 35 pounds tonight for a Tikka masala and a chicken bhuna and chicken dhansak and me and my son couldn't eat it. I am having the salt content checked by foods standard agency and will revert back.

Went here for an inpromtu meal after the Xmas Light Switch on and had forgotten how good it was!Staff are extremely pleasant and the decor is clean and modern.The food quality is excellent- had the sharing platter as a starter and every item was well cooked -chicken madras fwas succulent and the sauce was hot and rich.husbands lamb bhuna was moist and wonderfully rich too. Mushroom rice and special rice were excellent accompaniements.Price including poppudoms and 3 tiger beers was £74 so not cheap but very generous portions, excelkent quality and service so you really get what you pay for!! Highly recommend, best Restaurant in Ellon by an Aberdeenshire mile!!

Had a takeaway from Nazma following recommendations from my well informed neighbours and have to admit I am glad I listened. I don't normally like spending money so tend to stick to lower end takeaways in Ellon but after visiting Nazma, I have been converted. Love their food and will be back again.

Went with a friend on this occasion. We both had poppadoms, starters and main courses and a bottle of wine. Under £60 not bad at all. The lighting was pleasantly subdued, the service was good. The food was really tasty and there was a good interval between starter and main course, which I liked, as I hate eating one course straight after another. I would definitely go again.

Should be a 5star for food and wine and their wonderfully social manager. However a habit of extra rices appearing on the bill may catch them out one day. Be aware that some dishes come with rice so check if in any doubt. Whilst their only Indian competitor Nosheen continues its sad decline from the Dizzy heights of Top of Aberdeenshire, Nazma flourishes with a local population who demand quality but at a fair price.

I would certainly recomend this restaurant, the food is always Excellent nice atmosphere. Take away is good also.

Before I start, don't order the coffee. I literally saw the manager pour left over coffee from a coffee jug from a table that had just left back into the coffee warmer!That breaks all food hygiene rules altogether. Absolutely manky.I have eaten in and had takeout from Nazma, to eat in for two of us it was £75. For a take-out for one, with 1 main, side of Aloo Gobi and Garlic Nann - it cost £25.The place looks nice, staff are polite. Although they are all desperate for you to get the mixed starter. They must be on commission per mixed starter they sell.The food is nice, but I'm not sure its worth the money. You get far more meat in your meal from Nosheen, round the corner.

Very disappointed £49 for 3 takeout main meals don't mind if it was good but won't be back in a hurry.

A group of 20 had an after work dinner. The service, whilst slow, was very attentive. The food was very good abs good value for money. Prices were not cheap but good value. Would go again

Bright, modern with minimalist décor this branch of the chain features a totally different menu from the Peterhead site. The specials from the North West Frontier section of the menu has you drooling as you read. All the usual favourites are present along with a selection of chef’s specials we had to ask about. You’ll spend a good bit of time trying to make your mind up. We finally settled on the Hindukushi Lamb Tika and the Redforth Chicken delicacy, simply amazing. Watching the other dishes passing by as we were waiting for ours to arrive, we looked on with envy, but when we got ours the experience went in to overdrive. The staff are friendly and very efficient, the service exemplary and the quality fantastic. This is the second time we have been here and we will definitely return.

Me and my husband decided to try this restaurant last weekend since our usual favourite in Fraserburgh was closed and we were not disappointed. We went on Saturday evening around 6 PM and did not make a booking but we got the table for two no problem at all. The restaurant was not busy for a Saturday evening (when we arrived only 3 other tables were occupied). But as it approached 7 PM the place was getting busier and busier as more diners were coming. The place itself is very clean and minimalistic in décor but I do like that kind of style and those table cloths were whiter than white. The service was amazing all the way through. Our drink orders were taken immediately and we didn’t wait long between courses. The waiters were very efficient and always smiling ensuring we are happy with our drinks and meal (they asked several times). Cobra beer my husband ordered was bottled and ice cold and my white wine was very generously served and chilled to perfection. I will agree with some comments that seafood dishes are a bit on the expensive side (£21 for Monk fish curry, king prawns also quite expensive). But the rest of the menu is very reasonably priced and we were ok to pay a bit extra for good quality food and superb service. My tip would be: if you want two course meal you can easily go for one starter for two people. We decided to share the chicken pakora between the two of us and it was served beautifully and was enough for a light starter. The starter was presented beautifully with a little of chefs twist to it, just a picture on the plate and tasted fresh and crispy outside and tender inside so just perfect (although sauce it was served with was not necessary and added little to the flavour). The main didn’t take long to arrive and chicken Jalfrezy and Bhuna were also cooked to perfection. Rice and Naan were lovely as well. The waiter went out of his way serving the food to us and making sure we had glasses refilled in time. We paid £55 for one shared starter, two chicken mains, couple glasses of wine and one beer plus one rice and naan and couple of poppadoms, which I think is very reasonable and something we would expect to pay in a good establishment. All in all it was a very pleasant experience and we would go back. The only criticism I have is the Take Away service being right at the entrance of the restaurant with people coming and going all the time which makes the place a bit hectic especially when it gets busier in the evening (plus I didn’t like other people watching me eat when they were waiting for their take away). I think it would make the atmosphere so much better if the two were separated (like many other Indian restaurants do). Other than that, brilliant place and we will definitely come back.

Inside is lovely and the table is set out to perfection. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and attentive however the prices are extortionate and this overall spoils the experience as to come back you would have to wait a fair while before you could afford it again. The food was very nice and everything cooked well but as previously stated the bill at the end is mind boggling. 3 people over £98 and one of them having a bill alone of £42 he did have king prawn but I think to charge £21 just for a king prawn curry alone is shocking especially when we have visited another Nazma restaurant doing the same dish for £15 (not including rice). Nice experience but will be a while before we will be back due to prices.

Cant fault the food or service at all but got the bill for the drink,s 4 cobra,s two orange drinks and one soda water £43.00 wont be back will travel to Peterhead the next time.

Maybe great food and good service has a price? But surely not this much. That said, my friend picked up the tab for the dinner he and I had here. All he said was " .... the most expensive Indian meal ever ..."The restaurant doesn't look like much from outside. Inside however is clean, crisp decor, well presented tables with nice white linen.The waiter who attended to us was very helpful, and had a good sense of humour.The food was beautifully prepared and presented. One of the nicest Indian meals I've eaten in the UK it has to be said.So if money is no object, and you appreciate great food in nice surroundings, then give it a try.

Two curries, two nan breads and one rice, nothing else = £33+. Ridiculous. The food couldn't be faulted but this restaurant needs to rethink its pricing.

Can't fault the food or service at all but very expensive. Worth considering travelling into Aberdeen instead where you will get a meal around £5 cheaper per main course and just as good. £15 for a main course in Ellon is a bit over board.
