My husband went for the buffet while I ordered a king prawn biriani. The staff were very good polite and friendly. I didn't have to wait long and it was served, I was taken aback by the plate full I was given . It was served beautifully with crispy onion and cashews sprinkled over it. The prawns we huge cook beautifully melting in my mouth i really didn't want my meal to end. My husband was also so pleased with the variety available at the buffet he went back a good few times. I will definitely be back soon

This Indian restaurant was ok. Buffet was on and waiter reluctant to take a main menu order. The buffet was pretty luke warm although choice was decent. Not for us I'm afraid.

The food is really good. I loved the chicken pakora, veg pakora, chicken masala, garlic naan was really soft and melted in the mouth. I loved the dessert section, the rice pudding was amazing, the chocolate mousse cake melted in the mouth. I come here quite often.

Just finished our takeaway and the portions are huge. The curry was the Rara special and was absolutely top notch, mild sauce with slight background heat, a delightful change from the usual currys The other was stuffed full of chicken in a red pathia sauce giving a bit of heat with sweet and sour background. This was only the second time we have used the Rara Tal but now we will make them our only Nepalese/Indian pitstop.

Our favourite buffet restaurant. Doesn't have a huge selection but the food is amazing. Staff are lovely. Prices are much better than 5 of other buffets. Only thing that would improve it is more desserts.

First visit for the buffet at Rara Tal and was pleasantly surprised. Exceeded my expectations as buffet offerings at times can be quite bland and more often than not have a lot of food reheated from the previous service. I found the majority of the food to be fresh. Some dishes were actually as good as you’ll get sitting in or delivered in the area if not better. I would say this compares to Shimla in East Wemyss which is a good thing. Personal favourites were the pakora and spicy potato appetisers and the lamb karai and garlic chicken mains. Rice was nice and hot along with the nan. Waiter was attentive enough and I noticed he swapped our glass with ice so he had spotted something so this was a really good sign too. The dessert area needs some work though, definitely had some not so fresh cakes and the fruit looked dry and probably been sitting there all day. Have ice cream!! Overall I’ll still give it 4 stars as for a buffet it does everything you want it to do (except for dessert lol).

Go here whenever we can, went for valentine's day today and they went above and beyond. Place was completely decorated and they were giving roses away to each table as well. Food is always phenomenal, I've never done the buffet but always order from the menu. I've tried all Indian restaurants/takeaways in Glenrothes and this one's always been the best. Foods really well priced as well.

I ordered online via their website, the confirmation system doesn't work very well, and with three hours notice it was still 45 minutes late. A wee call or text to confirm would save a lot of uncertainty. However the food was utterly superb, genuinely the best Indian I have had in years. The Korma and chasni were delicious, so full of flavour. The pakora sauce was superb, not to mention the pakora and the bhajji themselves.

This is a little gem if a place. Excellent value for money. There is not a massive choice of dishes in the buffet but there is more than enough for everyone to eat. The South Indian Garlic Chill, Chicken Jalfrezi and Lamb Bhoona curries were very nice. The rice was fresh. Desserts were basic but I went for the main courses not the ice cream. 👍 Staff were also great.

Never thought that old Follies could look like this. I met with a friend I hadn't seen for 26 years at this restaurant. We had the best time ever! The food, the service and the ambience were first class. I live down south now but I can honestly say that if I still lived in Glenrothes this would be my first choice of Indian restaurant anywhere in the surrounding area. If you haven't tried this restaurant then you're missing out. It's great value for money and I honestly couldn't think of one negative thing to say about it.

Buffet was excellent and lots of variety, all meat was tender and cooked perfectly. The naan bread was low when we were there so we were told that they’d bring more to the table which they did very promptly and it was warm and fresh. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. We are definitely coming back. I also read a review on here saying it wasn’t wheelchair friendly however when we went there was a wheelchair user who was seated above the two steps so it is wheelchair friendly.

We've been here a long time ago for the buffet. This restaurant was recommended to us by a group of people who were going on Saturday night. On their advice we decided to go. Well, we were not disappointed!!!! In fact, we were well impressed. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Best Indian meal we've had in a very long time. The outside doesn't look very inviting, but as the old saying goes 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' Well worth the visit. Then back in to the Pheonix for a few drinks.

Arrived at 16.30 as stated on website and menu that buffet available from then. Once in the restaurant guided to our table then told the buffet was not ready and would be 10 minutes. Unfortunately no drink order was taken then at 1655 drink order taken and buffet was now open. Very limited selection for £15 odds and even then half the hot plates were empty pilau rice but no boiled rice brought out until meal was almost finished. Two sets of music playing one from a mobile at the bar and the restaurant music itself. Desserts only taken from a box and cut when queried where they were. For 3 people with one drink (coke) each £55. Quality of food not 100%

I would visit Raratal restaurant often before covid with family and friends and always had a lovely experience, although today I was very disappointed. On arriving we were told the usual 2:30pm close for lunch was changed today to 2pm, we had no issues with this and made them aware we were happy to continue to dine with them. We were shown to our table and ordered a bottle of wine, whilst we waited on the wine we went to help ourselves to the buffet starter, the plates were cold that were in the warmer due to it not being turned on, the waitress did take two plates to heat for us and turn the warmer on for the rest of the plates but it made little difference as the period of time we were in there wasn’t long. There was little selection although food that was there was ok. On us returning to the table was made aware the wine was warm due to fridge not working nor was there any ice as the ice machine was broken (they did fine a couple of blocks to put in a ice bucket for us but this made little difference to the temperature) there was no music playing or atmosphere. I can only assume it was the owner or one of the owners who was speaking to a waitress and had a conversation I feel should have not taken place in ear range of customers. I am really disappointed as I always really looked forward to lunch here but after todays experience unfortunately we will not be making a return.
