Panas Restaurant in Fife

Absolutely excellent food and service. Booked to celebrate a birthday, 6 adults and 2 children. We all chose the buffet selection, so much choice, and all very fresh and refilled regularly. The children chose to eat chicken nuggets which were prepared separately for them, they enjoyed trying the chicken korma, the rice and the poppadoms aswell. The adults all took small amounts of everything to try, and this was not an issue, the staff were very attentive and cleared plates, ready for us to go up and try another selection. Desserts were, Cheesecakes and a favourite of ours, Banoffee pie, there was ice cream also. After we celebrated the birthday boy, he was even presented with a gift voucher for his next meal. We will definitely be back here again.

My husband and i went in here on Wednesday the 3rd April for a birthday dinner. After reading the reviews i decided to give it a try. HUGE MISTAKE.. My husband went for the Chinese part of the buffet to find that all they had was sweet and sour, noodles and something in black bean sauce.... not quite what i would class as a good choice of Chinese, especially when we were expecting some sort of curry eg chicken or beef. Plenty of Indian food but my husband doesn't eat it, i do although this wasn't the hottest either So my husband ended up with FISH AND CHIP with peas. The same as we could have stayed at home and had. I spoke to the manager after i paid the bill..... and explained that i wasn't happy with the service or the food. He did apologize but wasn't keen on talking loud enough for me to hear. I was told that not everyone wants Chinese food, I must also add the bill was paid before i spoke to the member of staff about this. So it wasn't as if i wasn't going to pay. I said you have Chinese food on offer but clearly doesn't state what it was. If i thought for a minute that is what was on offer for Chinese food i would have never booked a table. So be advised guys, anyone that is going to book a table here please ask what they have on offer when you call to book a table, especially if you are expecting a Chinese curry of some kind So i have only 3 words and that is AVOID AVOID AVOID.

The food was good and tasty.. We had the all you can eat buffet which was varied and excellent value. The Nepalese staff were very friendly and attentive. Would come regularly if we lived locally. A very pleasant surprise and exceeded our expectations.

First time here... certainly wont be the last. Amazing food, very clean and relaxing environment.. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely fabulous 1st visit and the staff went above and beyond to cater for me being a vegetarian at the buffet .. will be back 100%

The food is lovely with so much choice, something for everyone. The service is great, and their buffet is excellent value for money.

Went to this restaurant today and was truly disappointed with the food. Got told it was a great place with great food unfortunately I cannot agree! There wasn’t a lot to choose from The chicken curry was pretty much like water never seen anything like it.

Food was amazing 👏 my husband was the first to try the new bottled lager it was ace we visited 25.01.24 6pm the buffet is excellent and was replenished regularly 😀 will definitely be back 😀

Great food excellent selection of gluten free foods ! Totally recommend @@

Great food, cobra on draught too. Tuesday early evening was quiet but nice atmosphere nonetheless. Chicken tikka chasni is excellent 👌

Me and my sister went there for the first time to night very good we both enjoyed it very friendly staff great food I will definitely be back 😀

Went last night and food was lovely well set out and all labelled. Will be returning very soon food was delicious

Good food in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent food and service. Very recommended !!!!!

Enjoyed a lovely buffet this evening. Service good and also good choice of food, all very fresh and tasty. Great value for money.

Popped in for buffet tonight. Great selection of good, all very tasty and fresh. Service good and fantastic value for money. Will definitely return for another visit.

We recently moved to the area and visited Panas for the first time like 6 months ago, since then we probably ate here around 10 times. Buffet option is decent, but in my opinion food to order is where this restaurant shines. Curries are amazing, meat cooked verly well, nice and tender lamb which melts in your mouth, chicken pakoras never dry. Every time we try something different and it is always a great experience. We highly recommend it.

Walked in, smells good and straight up service and help, sat at table, served with drinks straight away, 2 choices of dining from menu and buffet. I had a buffet for £14 full including deserts and drinks and food. Many options from asian,thai, to indian. Naan breads, chips, pankora, sweet sour chicken and more. Very good food and nice service and helpful. Recommend buffet.

Suntem in Edinburgh in concediu.Mâncarea, bufet suedez gustos,feluri variate, arome explozive de la dulce ...la super spicy!!!!!

We had a lovely midweek meal here. Everything was roasting, fresh and tasted beautiful! Staff were polite and attentive. Thank you for a delicious treat! 😋

Smacznie miło i z klimatem restauracja

Really great atmosphere. Very tasty, well prepared and presented food at a great price. Attentive staff, very welcoming and caters for children as well. Clean and well set out. We had takeout from this place and it was delicious- well worth a visit!

First visit here today and wasn’t disappointed. Excellent choice of Indian and Chinese starters with all the salads and dips to go with them, again with the mains a superb choice of everything my favourite being the chicken madras and lamb bhuna, there really is something for everyone here. Desserts again a good choice and was particularly fond of the rice pudding. Give it a go I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Hope to see you again soon.

I get stressed with people and noise so we went when it had not long opened Place is great kid friendly staff are brilliant as is the food

I've driven past here multiple times but tonight was the first time I`ve went in. Very spacious and clean restaurant on entry. Greeted at the door by two pleasant staff and shown to our seats. Drinks ordered straight away and confirmation as to whether we were having the buffet or al a carte. Buffet every time for me! Drinks were served quickly. There was a good selection of food and although it was quite late on, most of the food there looked fresh and we were even asked if we wanted more of certain items. Great service. The food was great. Different sections for starters and mains, salads and desserts. A mix of Chinese, Indian and Thai. Service was exemplary, plates taken away quickly which is always a bugbear at buffet restaurants. Overall I would 100% return. It`s by no means not the biggest buffet in the world (say compared to Hot Flame in Livingston) but the variety was plenty for me and the al a carte menu is a great option. Plus, it`s right on my doorstep. Looking forward to my next visit already.

Staff are very attentive and overall lovely. The food tasted high quality and reasonably priced. See you soon PANAS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4 adults and a 7 yr old attended and we told the waiter that my grandson had previously eaten and would not be indulging with their food. He nodded his head. We got stuck into the buffet. There was a nice variety but there were some issues. Yes it’s a buffet so all restaurants skimp on the food they serve. 1. Sauce - all were very watery/runny 2. A Thai dis but no Thai rice 3. Greasy Nan bread We finished and asked for the bill. Yes they charged us £7.95 for my grandson to sit at the table. Quite flabbergasted and we will never go bsck

Staff are very attentive and overall lovely. The food tasted high quality and reasonably priced.

Great food, clean place and very friendly staff!

Came here for the buffet at 6pm which was open from 3pm till 9pm. Buffet had plenty of choice but they stopped refreshing any of it as soon as we entered and sat down. The quality of food was ok but not the best and there was zero choice of dessert becuase the fridge was empty. The employees were all nice enough and the place was clean and tidy, however the food let it all down. Would not return.

I've been there Twice now with my family, and overall I can't complain! Food was Great and Chef took best of their effort to make it tasty and good looking. Service is one of best ones I got so far, Waitress is asking you frequently if you're satisfied, on top of that you're being inform when food will be ready! As for atmosphere... I love the music and paintings on wall, but there's something missing... Nature, if they will add more Nature on site, I'm sure it will bring amazing Asian Atmosphere! A little Tree here, fake plants hanging from the celling above tables, or plants on the Walls could make a big difference, but choice of plants would be crucial here, as it is Asian restaurant, it has to be considered Asian Plant to make the atmosphere feel like you're visiting other country. Give it a go and you won't be disappointed!

We went after seeing an advert for this place on Facebook. To say we were suitably impressed is all true. Beautiful clean restaurant lovely welcoming staff. great selection of foods and an excellent price. We had the buffet and it had a beautiful variety of Indian options. And desserts were gorgeous. Will definitely return.

when i arrived and spoke to the waiter i could hardly hear what he was saying asking him to repeat everything 3/4 times, waited 10+ minutes for a water and constantly felt awkward like the staff were staring at me. I chose the buffet option and instantly regretted it, the curries so bland and absolutely smothered in onions, the potatoes were under cooked and there was 1 pakora up for grabs and they were not replenished. To top it all off before i left i used the toilet and it was too late when i realized there was no toilet roll and the fact that this wasn't the worst part of my dining experience really sums everything up.

Excellent food, fantastic quality and really super value. When times are tight, being able to come and sit down with friends and family and have some beautiful food, sat outside in the sunshine, and it not cost the earth is amazing. The chicken pakora are lightly battered and crunch yet soft. We have been coming her for years and feel so lucky to have this in the local area. Takeaway is also consistently great quality, delivery on time and the customer service is second to none.

Very good good, service and atmosphere!

Nous cherchions un restaurant à côté de notre hôtel après une journée sur edimbourg. Principalement des plats indiens de proposés. Nous avons très bien mangé pour un prix correct et le personnel du restaurant était extrêmement sympathique. Bonne expérience, je recommande.

Good food but not big choice for a buffet

Here for the buffet on a Sunday it was marvellous

Food was absolutely delish, staff very attentive, music was a bit loud as we had a person with hearing aids we requested it be turned down, they obliged immediately. Def will be visiting this place again

What a wonderful food experience, variety on menu for all tastes. Staff very efficient and friendly. Prices very reasonable and food delish. Will def visit again , everyone at our table were very impressed.

Very good food and very good service.

Great food and helpful service. Also catered for nut allergi, where they made a portion of chicken korma without nuts.

This is an excellent experience seeing that we were not sure where to go and dine. Lovely service. Would recommend.

We were disappointed with the food on offer. There very few, if any, freshly made dishes on offer. Most, if not all of the sauces, appeared to come out of a jar, the chicken in the sauces came out of a bag already cooked which made pretty much every dish to be bland and unappetising. This is a cheap restaurant using cheap, not fresh ingredients and you can get better food from other Asian food establishments in the area. We went once, won’t go again.

Excellent food fantastic service would highly recommend

Food is nice… a combination of Indian and Chinese cuisine… worth a try… staff is also nice… u will get a feel good dining

This place is OK nothing special very limited food options staff is a bit annoying tho keep watching u makes u feel uncomfortable should have more options for dessert

First Class Buffet in a lovely clean and spacious Restaurant, Wide Range and plenty to choose from at the Buffet inc classics such as Chicken Korma which was Delicious and a wonderful Chicken Tikka Mango Masala. They also do food from from their Menu if the Buffets not for you. Staff are very Attentive and Friendly and Can't do enough for you. Great Parking at Rear of Restaurant. All in all a great place to eat out. We will definstely be back again.

First visit here, food was tasty, I had the buffet, lot's of choice.

Take away. Not great service, waiter very flippant, verging on arrogant, starter was mixed pakora , all vegetable pakora was burnt, beyond edible, poppadoms were soggy, nan bread was wet and cold (soggy also) Main dishes were delicious im not going to lie , just everything else let the meal down, so despite my delicious main we won't be back .

What can I say.... Amazing. What a treat. First Class Buffet in a lovely clean and spacious Restaurant. £14.95pp from Friday- Sunday. £13.95 from Tuesday to Thuurday. Wide Range and plenty to choose from at the Buffet inc classics such as Chicken Korma which was Delicious and a wonderful Chicken and Mango Tikka Masala. They also do food from from their Menu if the Buffets not for you. Staff are very Attentive and Friendly and Can't do enough for you. Great Parking at Rear of Restaurant. All in all a great place to eat out. We will definstely be back again. AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++

Really good selection at 15.95 buffet, starters, mains and desserts all really nice

Buffet was good with decent choice. Mango chicken tikka masala was particularly delicious. Plenty of choice for those who like spicy food and those who don’t. Lovely staff too - good with kids and quick to clear table

First time in here for a meal and I really enjoyed it, a reasonable selection of starter's and mains which were hot as the staff only placed a certain amount of food in at a time, anything that was empty or nearly empty was replaced with fresh food all of the same excellent quality, I especially enjoyed the Lamb Jalfrezi as the Lamb was really tender, a limited selection of desserts was offered ( ice-cream, cold rice pudding and a selection of sponge cake and similar sliced flans ) with tea and instant coffee all in all it was a great value for money all you can eat buffet, the proprietor had a great idea of a £5:00 supplement for those whose eyes are bigger than their bellies to cut down on food waste 👏👏👏

Lamb Rogan Josh, saag aloo and garlic naan were wonderful when we visited. Staff were very attentive and food was reasonably priced.

Panas restaurant I have been a few times. Lately the times of the restaurant have changed to evening only. Also the menu has changed a bit also. I feel that the place can do more menu wise. But enjoyable.

Went to panas last night with 2 friends. Food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Had a lovely night, great everytime we go. I've ordered a take away from them a few times as well and it's always on time and really tasty.

Lovely buffet. Great value for money. The buffet food was all cooked fresh and there was plenty of choice. Very tasty and lots of different dishes to try. Buffet and two drinks each for £20 per person, very reasonable.

The food was really lovely. Staff were attentive and prices were good. Loved that I got the opportunity to try multiple Indian dishes too.

Another great night out at Panas. Food great, different dishes from our previous visits. So it was great to try something different. Staff friendly and attentive too. My fav place to go

Went in today lovely buffet. But £4.95 for a pint of carling what a joke shame on you charging that price for carling just on being ripped off with that I wouldn't go back

Visited Panas last night for staff night out. It was very good.. Food was very good and plenty of it on the buffet. Staff were very attentive, pleasant and helpful.. I will return again to this restaurant.

Was in the other day lunch time very poor choice of food chicken pakora was like chicken nuggets lamb bhuna tasted like it was watered down no flavour Indian garlic chicken was the same very poor used to be good here not this time and...

I went to panas and I met the infamous Creamy Crome from YouTube, I almost busted right there when I saw him

Absolutely fantastic ,very authentic cuisine, every single thing you get is so good 10/10,obviously very well run ,and chefs awsome. We will definitely be back.

The best buffet! My husband have been a few tones for the buffet and it’s amazing. Top quality food; great range of choice of starters, mains and desserts; always great service; brilliant value for money. Highly recommend.

Very mediocre, limited choice of bland starters including sliced white bread deep fried in a spiced batter. That for example was tough and tasteless. The curries were reasonable, but you had to wait until more meat was brought out, added to the existing sauce. At...

Friendly welcoming professional staff. Drinks provided promptly. Conscientious and attentive service throughout. Pleasing glassware and delightful environment. Lovely , crispy and freshly made poppadums with tasty dips and sundries. Large buffet selection also available. We are a range of starters including naan, vegetable pakora and...

Had lunch here with my friend, opted for the Buffet Plenty choice and reasonably priced. Restaurant nice inside, staff friendly

Had a lovely meal here with friends can’t fault the service.just the place to go if you want good food and a friendly atmosphere.

Just had a wonderful,delicious , full of flavour meal at this lovely welcoming restaurant. Staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about they're menu. I had a Nepalese dish called Panas special, on asking, the dish was explained as I've never eaten Nepalese food, it was...

First time visiting and we were not disappointed, the buffet food was delicious and plenty choices, maybe could have been a bit hotter but good nonetheless. Nice polite service and very reasonably priced. Only downside was it was a bit chilly in the restaurant hence...

We chose this restaurant as we had not tried it before. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is quite big so we were seated away from other diners. The service was very good. There was a buffet available but we chose dishes from the al...

First time ordering and sadly the last. The entire meal was ruined by the excessive use of salt. Was inedible.

Tried once for take-away it was delicious! Went back to eat at the restaurant. The staff is friendly and the food is full of flavour! Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a group of 6 people travelled from London for a week to Scotland dined at Panas this week. The restaurant decor and ambiance is great. The service is impeccable. We had few children who were looked after so well. The food, not to...

Had takeawway from here but never a sit down meal. Buffet was fresh and had good selection to choose from, staff very friendly and attentive. Will be returning to try the dinner menu!

Couldn’t fault the service or food. Those in our group who hadn’t been before were impressed. Will definitely be back.

My partner had Indian food from here and didn’t have any complaints other than her garlic naan tasting very plain, but my chinese was awful. Hoisin sauce was just peppery and watery, chicken was badly cooked and it was just overall very poor. Meal was...

Had the most delicious meal here last night. the food is amazing and the staff are so friendly, highly recommended 👌 see you soon

Had a few deliveries from here , but now restaurants open again, we decided to give it a try sitting in & food is really fresh & tasty when arrives & lovely pint of cobra as well.

I just love this business, had possibly the worst dining experience in the Ship Inn Limekilns and ending up with Pana saving the day. Fingers crossed you keep your high standards up.

Called in on a whim on the way home and we ended up very glad we did. We'd popped into an empty Brewers Fayre at Bowtrees half an hour earlier and been turned away for not having booked, so we were almost resigned to being...

Service was excellent with much care given to everyone's needs. Food was very good, well impressed as this was my husband and myself first visit. Had the Korma, which was lovely, whilst hubby had fish and chips which he enjoyed. Will make the effort to...

Food is amazing and food is always hot when we get a delivery perfect as always can’t wait to come back to dine-in in restaurant , Thank-you again helpful and professional service.

Good food but on the delivery service they seem to always forget something which is disappointing when looking forward to it .

Great service and food is always delicious. We started to use this restaurant on the recommendation from our neighbours. We certainly wouldn’t use anywhere else.

Visited here with my husband for dinner, food was delicious from start to finish. Staff were very attentive, my second time here, the last time was for lunch with my friends. Will definitely return very soon will give them 10 out of 10.

The food was delicious, from the starter to dessert. The staff were all lovely and couldn't have been nicer to us. This was our first time eating here and we will be back soon!

Tasty food, well served and plenty of space around each table. Our first visit but will probably be back.

I ordered at 4.30pm so that I could have delivered for 7pm. At 7.15pm I called to see when my delivery was expected to arrive. I was told it had already left the establishment and, "sorry for the late". This was obviously untrue as my...

Visited tonight for the first time and we loved it. My chicken bhuna was outstanding, garlic naan is also awesome! Good service and lovely food, look forward to visiting again.

Collected a take away it was brilliant. Food is first class they forgot the curry sauce but when we phoned them they sent their driver out with it and I arrived 10 mins later excellent service. Will be ordering again.

Had a home delivery from Panas. Was delivered on time driver very friendly. Delicious food and generous portion. Will definitely order again.

Ordered from Panas for the first time tonight on the recommendation of friends. We were totally impressed with the quality of the food - it was delicious, bursting with flavour and very hot! THE best Indian carry-out we have had in a long, long time...
