Reya in Fife

Been going here for a long time and it’s always been good, but the last few times the curries have been superb, highly recommended

This could be a good restaurant. I attended last night, the kids that are running it would benefit some supervision and a better and cleaner dress code . Overall the food was decent and the service was poor . Better to go on a school day .

This evening, having had a drink and not wanting to drive, my wife and I decided to order a takeaway delivery from this restauarant. I ordered two mains with rice and a nan bread. After being told that it was cheaper if we ordered a set meal which included two starters, I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth and added them to the order. This was at 7.15 pm. I was given no indication of expected delivery time. Given that we were having starters, I turned on the kitchen oven so that the mains could be kept warm while we had our first course. This turned out to be unduly optimistic on my part. By 8.30 pm, the food had not arrived so I called to ask when we might expect to receive it. I was told that it was "in the car" and would therefore be with us shortly. We live a five minute drive from the restaurant. By 8.50 pm, there was still no sign of our food, so I called again. I expressed concern about the length of time that this was taking and was told that standard waiting time was an hour. I pointed out that I had been told twenty minutes previously that the food was "in the car" and that I was concerned that it would not be hot when it arrived. I was assured that it was kept in a hot insulating box and that the driver would be instructed to make my house his next call. Twenty minutes later I called again. By now I was seriously annoyed and wanted to know why the food had still not arrived despite having been "in the car" for forty minutes supposedly being the next delivery after my call forty twenty minutes previously. By now the "standard" waiting time had gone up to 90 minutes, according to the woman that I spoke to. I was told yet again that she would call the driver and ask him to come to my house next. He eventually turned up at 9.15, almost two hours to the minute since the order had been placed. It was obvious from the lack of heat coming from the containers that the food would be tepid. I accordingly sent it back. All that i was offered for a wasted evening was for the meal to be done again or for my payment to be refunded. If this place gave a toss about customer service, I would have thought that they might have offered to refund what I paid and to arrange for another meal to be supplied. Instead, I was left with the cost of having my oven running for two hours and a plate of cereal for my evening meal. There was no way that I was prepared to wait any longer for food, particularly since I strongly suspected that the replacement meal was likely to be the original meal after a quick trip to the micro-wave. Never again.

Positively worst Indian we ever had anywhere. 2hrs 20mins to arrive lukewarm. Wrong starter. Wrong Nan. Chicken Bhoona was in a lentil dahl and tasteless / spiceless. Lamb Rogan Josht similarly tasteless and insipid sauce. Never again!

Would not go back. Got a carryout nan bread was burnt to a crisp. Thought it was ignorant to offer this to a customer. The dopiazi was skimping at best it was mostly sauce and onion. Five pieces of chicken and four little bits of pepper £11. Probably the worst carryout I have had. What a con waste of money.

3 and a half hour wait times due to our order being forgotten about. and forgetting 3-4 drink orders no effort or apology made from any staff constantly chasing up everything we had asked for around 30 minutes prior. I heard good reviews about this place and to he honest the food was good but the the service was the worst I've ever experienced, Everything was so disorganised, 3 tables waited around the same time as us, not to mention the way the manager speaks to her staff.... First and last time I will visit. Wee tip rather than prioritising your deliveries over your customers sitting right infront of you then you shouldn't be in the restaurant business. Very very poor

Ordered a takeaway and food was horrible. We had Southern Indian Garlic chicken but we never got any garlic but loads of chilli. Wish I took a photo of the salad before I binned it. Garlic Nan was the worst driest Nan ever.

The staff seemed very young and inexperienced but were trying hard to do the job. It took a while for the order to be taken but eventually we did get some poppadoms, then another wait for the starters. The restaurant was very busy so we weren't too bothered, however the wait for the main course was over an hour until I eventually asked about our food as people arriving some time after us were already eating. The plates were still on the table when the main course arrived and I eventually asked the waiter to take them as he appeared totally oblivious to them. He muttered something about the meals had taken a long time because the board got muddled up ? 2 of the meal were fine however the other 2 were far more spicy than usual and were inedible. Diners at another table were also complaing about the excessive heat of their meals to which the waitress made a comment about the chef tending to make the food hot. I complained and we were given replacement meals but to be honest by the time they arrived I had filled up on rice and naan bread due to being hungry so only ate a very small amount. I'm afraid I won't be returning which is a shame as we live in Leslie so it is very local to us

Ate here on a busy Saturday night. This was our 3rd visit here and it was as good as always. Good service and the food is very tasty. The menu is very extensive. The starter purees were particularly nice (and large!). Very happy with our meals.

This really is a gem of a restaurant. I've eaten here many, many times over the years and the consistency of great food and wonderful service is amazing. The three course lunch is great value and offers a wide range of starters and mains. Under a tenner! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

We ordered a delivery for two people at 5pm, called at 6.45 and was told it would be out soon as they had it sitting and was just waiting for the delivery driver , had to call back at 7pm as still no delivery and was told the driver did have it and it would only be another 20 mins, so the food was sat for over an hour before even out for delivery, and a further 30 mins plus in transit? Had to cancel order as the food will be cold. Won’t be back. Shame because it used to be a great place with fab food.

Ordered food took 3 hours to arrive, they then wouldn’t answer the phone after ringing over 200 times. When they finally answered I got left on hold for 10 minutes to then have to request a refund. Great job.

I regularly visit the Reya and consider the curries there to be the best in Fife. It is worth the trip over from Leven as I know I will enjoy my meal. Always made to feel welcome by the staff, despite having 2 noisy grandchildren with us. It is always nice too to be remembered as you enter. Service is always prompt and the staff friendly and helpful, and there is always a pleasant atmosphere around. As someone who lived and worked in Birmingham for a good part of my life, and who knows the Balti Triangle there well, I can honestly say that the Reya genuinely is up there with the best in terms of the quality of its food and general ambience. Can't recommend highly enough.

We have eaten in the Reya since it first opened, used to go at least once a week when we lived in Leslie. Hadn't been back for couple of years since we moved but it's still the same high quality food and service, the prices are still very reasonable. Well worth a visit.

Food was brilliant and delivered quickly, prices are good and easily the best Indian in Fife. Staff always polite and welcoming, will definitely continue coming to the reya for delivery and a sit down meal.

great service as always, never had a bad meal or with the food so much flavour, very friendly staff very attendant at all times owners amazing always feel very welcome definitely best indian that i have been too very recommended.

What a super meal we had tonight. Fantastic food, quickly served and very good service. New choices for meal and delighted x

Meal with my wife and the food and service was a very high standard and a real friendly atmosphere from the owners and staff.

Friendly and helpful staff took plenty time to explain sauces and ingredients in Indian cuisine to our inexperienced palates, so we could choose the best meals for us. Made the evening such a success, with several of us now converted to Asian food. Those who chose to opt for different meals too, thought the restaurant choice fab.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend who frequents it.We weren’t impressed. The tables are far too close together and the waiting staff were struggling to get around the table and we had to pass the food over to each diner at our table. There were only 4 of us. The food wasn’t as warm as it could have been. Waiting staff were pleasant and courteous, but the crammed seating and lukewarm food let it down.

Just visited. Excellent food as ever. Nice lamb karahi and Egyptian kebab along withPeshwari naan. Pleasant and attentive staff.

This is my favourite indian in town by far the food is always amazing tasty and hot. On the very odd occassion delivery can take a while to arrive but its always worth the wait and its usually only on busy weekends would highly recommend to anyone looking for a decent indian

Always liked this place when worked in the area and after a 2+ years absence was good to be recognised as having not been for a while.Food and service were good, though being a little critical my chicken was not the best. Nice to be back though.

Lunch with friends! Great value meal, big portions , very tasty recommend a visit! Staff really friendly and more than happy to help.

First time staying in this area and used trip adviser to find a restaurant, this place came high up on restaurants in Glenrothes and did not disappoint! Highly recommend this restaurant, food is tasty, service is great and staff are lovely xx

Good value lunch for £7 or £8, quick service, good tasting food and full portions. Would visit again.

Good service and food. Christmas meal with the guys from work. Although we were asked to leave the place is nice

Popped in for an evening meal and was welcomed by a very friendly Scottish gentleman. I ordered my usual chicken tikka madras with white rice and it came promptly. A very tasty curry indeed and we were looked after and interacted with during our visit. Well worth a visit and I guarantee you will not leave hungry. The meal was huge.

So my wife decided she fancied some pakora on sun night at 9pm so we thought we would get a delivery from the reya where we have ordered from and also ate in the restaurant previously. My wife ordered mixed pakora, chicken pakora and poppadoms with sauces and onions to be told, after consultation with someone else, unless we ordered a main meal then it would not be worth their while and they wouldn't do it. They advertise meals over £10 is free delivery and there is nothing stating what this should consist of. We stay within 2 miles. Our order was over £10 and to say we were disappointed was an understatement. We did not want a main meal at that time of night and didn't appreciate trying to get forced into ordering one. We subsequently ordered through the kismet without any issues. Really disappointed and will certainly influence future orders

I paid £33 for food for it to come two hours late, wrong and cold. I had to phone twice to find out where it was. Once it was finally delivered it was cold and the order was wrong. I phoned again to explain and they said they'd send missing food, waited a further 35 mins then phoned again to tell them to forget it. Very disappointed.

Been a few times now to the reya and have to say it's got to be best Indians in glenrothes by far,,tried quite a few dishes but my favourite is the balti just delicious

This is by far the best Indian Restaurant in Fife. I live in Dunfermline and travel there as it’s so good. Thoroughly recommend it.

Hadn’t been here for a couple of years and decided to visit on Friday lunchtime with a friend.

Was in on Saturday 1st Sept use this restaurant often and always found it to be first class.On this occasion I was left feeling rather invisible to to the staff half hour seated before order taken. Had to stop staff member and ask for a refill for drinks and still never happened, so had to ask another member. We were not given our hot towel at end of meal which is part of the experience in this restaurant.Am not saying I will never be back but I was disappointed on this occasion.

It was Saturday - it was busy, but they found us a table. The food as usual was lovely, well presented, and delicious. Service was prompt. The only problem was the group of four at the next table (and this is not the fault of the restaurant!). They were loud! Very loud, with no consideration of other diners. Yes, go to a restaurant to catch up with friends, but show consideration to other diners!

Me and my partner went for my birthday the food was outstanding and the service they can’t do enough for you , the owner always speaks to you and ask how’s the food and how we’re

Was here for lunch today, and was so impressed that I felt I need to get this review out there.

Hands down the absolute best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been too. Great food, great price and the staff are lovely!! Miles and miles better than the Jasmine!!

Excellent service, extremely clean, a wide choice of main and starters. Extensive wine menu. We are not local and it was impressive to see how busy it was early on a Friday evening.

Lovely food, served by nice Staff. Looks like a popular place as was fairly busy for a Wednesday night

fancied an Indian meal booked after reading reviews and was not disappointed. busy place which is always good . not my usual place to go for an indian but would go back 8/10

The food is exceptional. We would normally go for a lunch (fixed menu) when we are down in Glenrothes visiting family. The food is absolutely exceptional and the service is just as good. The prices on the menu are VERY reasonable and nothing is a hassle for the staff to make you feel welcome. If you are in this area looking for some excellent Indian food - this is your place.

Come to the Reya quite often and it never disappoints. Food is hot and fresh and very flavoursome. Peshwari naan is amazing! Staff all friendly and attentive and will go out of their way to cater to your every need. Looking forward to my next return!

Used this restaurant many times , food always good. Good variety of dishes and friendly helpful staff . We keep going back so must be good !

Good food, great service what more do you want. I can certainly recommend the Egyptian kebab it’s, a little different. Not one of our group had a bad meal and you can only confuse the naans if your colour blind!

As for-warned by my friendly taxi driver I was unable to find a bad curry at this establishment. Affordable set menu that left me full and content, Cobra on tap and attentive waiting staff. The Reya is diamond in the ruff of Glenrothes.

The food in here is without a doubt some of the best in the local area if not in Scotland. Menu is very reasonably priced with service that is excellent. We had food off the lunch menu on this occasion which was excellent and our family of 12 all were very impressed with the meal they received. Overall a great experience and will not hesitate to return the next time we are in the area.

Not been in the Reya for a while since I moved away from Leslie.

We took our family there for a birthday meal and we really enjoyed it. The food was excellent and the helpings were generous. The service was really good and the waiters were attentive and friendly. Well worth a visit!

Just received our first takeaway from the Reya, we have visited the restaurant 4/5 times and the food has always been great. Unfortunately the same can’t be said about the takeaway. We placed the order and was told it would be about a hour, which is fine because it’s a sat night, food arrived around about a hour 15/20. As soon as I opened the bag I could tell I was in for a letdown. All the food was luke warm at best, luckily I had the oven on pre heating our plates. All the food apart from the nan went right in, 10mins later when the food was hot we started. The chicken pakora was a 3/10. The rice was ok 5/10, the curry itself was again ok 6/10. The major let down was the nan, I lightly sprayed it with water and put it in the oven for 3/4min. It was crispy and dry, ended up giving most of it to the dog who almost choked on it. Safe to say unless we receive a good will gesture from the Reya proving this was a one off, we won’t be ordering our takeaways from them in the future. Sorry but if I’m spending £17 I expect better.

Been using Reya for years, it's the best in town and has exciting, fresh flavours. Even if I try something new that's just not my personal liking it's still top-notch and memorable. The pilau rice is amazing, not greasy like some places and you can't go wrong with most of the tandoori chicken main courses. I recommend it to everyone :)

Arrived here at 7.45pm on Friday night - decided to go last minute in the hope we could get a table which we did. Used to be a regular visitor here but not been back for a few years - the food was always good.

Very disappointed with our food we got last night. Service was good,phoned and ordered and collected- no issues. However, when we opened our tubs, both the chicken korma and tikka masala were like watery soup! .There was no thickness to the sauce at all and both of them had max 9 small pieces of chicken in them. Very disappointed in the view the price of each.

We come here often, sometimes with family, sometimes as a couple. The food is always good, and great value. service is extremely friendly. Will continue to visit here.

Just had dinner with daughter and granddaughter first class food and service even children's portions which is a great way for youngsters to try various dishes . owner very helpful and staff are just great .

Lovely meal and great friendly service. Genuine flavours and large portion size. Enjoyed a mid week treat

The food is the best and the staff are really friendly, never have to wait long for the food coming out great atmosphere and always busy well done defo be back

Average take away certainly nothing to about, better indians nearby. Curry waa bland with lack of taste and chicken tough

Where to choose for my 60th birthday meal, no brainer The Reya. Well looked after lovely food, including the best Nan bread ever!! They even noticed I was wearing my birthday badge and my pudding, which also was to die for, appeared complete with birthday candle and the staff singing happy birthday.Point to note many of the customers also appeared to be regulars. Thank you to the staff for making me feel just a wee bit special.

Loved this restaurant waitress (Suzy) was fantastic and looked after our very need with a smile.Thank you would recommend to anyone visiting Glenrothes.

Had a meal here last week, it was OK, nothing to write home about though, wouldn't think of returning.After reading some of the reviews I had high expectations. I found it to be average at best.Most of the staff were friendly enough, except the waiter we dealt with at first who seemed a bit annoyed that we didn't give our drinks order before we had a chance to settle at our seat.Vege Dansak is a dish that you can usually rely on in Indian restaurants, this one was nothing special.

Poor show from them, 1 hour and 20 minutes waiting for a Luke warm curry half the amount of sauce, chicken and rice you would expect and a burnt nan. £16 down the drain and an experience I won't be longing for anytime in the near/far future.

We wouldn't go anywhere else! The food is amazing! The staff are alway so friendly and accommodating!

First time here and will definitely be back. Was there for a charity night, food was lovely, ambiance and service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

We had been meaning to visit the Reya for some time and finally got around to ordering a take-away. I arranged collection for 6 p.m but the food didn't appear until 6.20 - maybe they were waiting for me to turn up and pay before they cooked it. The staff were friendly and they obviously get a lot of repeat custom. Unfortunately the food was hit and miss. My husband enjoyed his Vegetable Bhoona and I could taste the fresh herbs in my Prawn Puri - but the aubergine bhaji tasted of nothing (no heat, no spices) and the tarka daal was swimming in oil. The garlic naan didn't taste of garlic and I know its hard to believe but the egg pilau was more egg than rice. Felt a bit disappointed with the whole meal as more of it went in the bin than we ate. Sorry but won't be back.

Delicious Indian cuisine with a good amount of heat. Enjoyed their food tremendously. Very good service from the waiters/waitresses. Just wished they would serve their tea in a teapot instead of putting the teabag in a teacup. Tends to get very busy at night so do make a reservation before going down.

We use the Reya frequently and would have to complement their menu, food and service in the restaurant. Never fail to provide excellent food.

We were recommended this Indian Restaurant when we were staying at Balbirnie House and it had 'NEVER' disappointed . Very friendly staff from the moment you walk in ,until you leave . Excellent menu lay out . Tandoori Platter is our personal favourite and also the Family love the Garlic Chicken Tikka . Excellent value for money compared to many Indian Restaurants we have graced over the last 30+ years . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!You won't be disappointed

Best Indian food in town, never ever disappoints. We order from here a lot also sit in the resteraunt a lot. Always lovely and welcoming. And always go above and beyond to satisfy the customers.

Consistently good curries, great menu selection and food always to a high standard. Nice setting and friendly helpful staff.

Have visited here several times for business lunch.Food is excellent quality and also very good value for money.Service is quick and polite without being over-obtrusive (although it has been quiet every time I've visited.Recommended.

Love the food from here, every curry is unique and delicious.. Still a few yet to try, too many to mention but currently loving the chicken sag paneer! Excellent, friendly service. Wouldn't go anywhere else for an Indian.

As a family we have either went to the restaurant or had a takeaway. Have you changed your staff, are you under new ownership?Last night we had a takeaway which contained a Chicken Mughlai (Medium), Chicken Bhoona (Medium) and a Chicken Passanda (Mild) all served with Pilao Rice which was extra for the latter two dishes. The "curries" were bland with no spice whatsoever, they came hot but were clearly a reheat; especially the rice as there was burnt bits in the corners of the container. The chicken had the texture of a reheat. What looked like oil that was sitting the Mughlai and the Bhoona turned out to be watery. The only purpose that the meal served was that it filled a hole; I normally have a runny nose if the curry spice is there, it was non-existent. I mentioned at the top we have used the restaurant and had takeaways on a few occasions over the years but based on what we received last night we will not be back...really disappointed.

i love the reya it is my favourite indian and would reccomend it to anyone based on food alone, i usually order take-away fast service curries sometimes oily but with every indian takeaway it happens, phone service usually polite and friendly from the woman answering the phone on occasion had a male with a thick accent who is quite rude delivery drivers are lovely cant say anything else really its 100% good in my opinion, however tonight i decided to leave this review and decided to see what others thought and everyone is entitled to their opinion but the manager who responded to reviews has put me off the restaurant his sarcy rude reactions to bad experiences has left me disappointed and i wont be going for a sit it meal if thats the manner they treat their customers i will continue to order for the great food alone and not risk ruining it all by sitting in with bad service, but congrats to the chef very good food. 5 stars on food overall 4 due to disappointing service staff/manager.

Unfortunately it's really gone down hill, food is re heated, the naan breads - supposedly chilli and peshwari tasted exactly the same, when questioned if they were correct we were told they were. The rice was horrid, pre cooked and clearly been under a heat lamp or hot plate as some were crunchy, the young girl serving was lovely, but the elder gentleman was dismissive of not a little rude, we will not be returning.

I visited with a group for an event evening which was nothing to do with the restaurant- it was purely the base for this event. On the positive side the staff appeared nice but the food was re-heated, over cooked, tasteless. The worst thing was I ate it and later needed 3 settlers to try to calm the aftermath of this starter and main.I have had many curries in my time and am not afraid to complain on the spot if I am unhappy with a meal. But due to the nature of this event I chose not to. Had I been there on my own or with my wife I would not have completed the starter. There is nothing worse than a poor meal and this effort made very poor look good! I would strongly advise you look elsewhere. And I am sure it will be no surprise to you but I will not be back for this awful food.

The Reya is really well priced and serves delicious fresh food with lots of flavour! They do a lunchtime deal which is great value for money.

Nice surroundings excellent food and very pleasant staff. The menu is very comprehensive covering traditional Indian and European dishes, although I can't vouch for the European dishes.The atmosphere in the main body of the restaurant is very good with enough staff at hand to give that extra personal attention.We plan to return again as soon as possible.

The staff were friendly, the premises were clean. A good menu with fresh food, full of flavour. One of the nicest Indian meals eaten in a while.

fantastic food, fantastic service, simply fantastic! the starter was delicious, the main was amazing and we even managed to squeeze in a dessert!!!!! we were STUFFED! :D

Love this wee place. Great food, tasty can't wait to go back. My all time favorite in this area. Tikka is great

Having been to Reya in the evening I was looking forward to trying their lunchtime menu. Great lunch. Choice from two three course lunch menus either £6.95 or £7.95 both with a good selection of dishes. I chose from the £6.95 and my son from the £7.95 I expected the portions to be smaller as it was a set price but I was proved wrong. I had the classic Prawn cocktail, big fat juicy prawns, and the lamb Korma, lamb was very tender. My son had the Chicken Pakora and the chicken tikka masala. You can have either rice, nan or chips. We chose to have the rice and ordered a nan on the side. I had forgotten how delicious their nan bread is best Ive tasted! Choice of ice cream, tea or coffee to finish, we just had coffee. We both agreed great value and will definitely be back.

Absolutely love it here! We've just moved down to Fife and we're told it was the best in the area - we weren't disappointed in the slightest - the staff were lovely and the food is delish!

Every time we go at Reya's for a meal, we are delighted to say it's really good standard.The food is delicious, good wines, and last but not least, good service.The owner is a good entertainer and always smiling what makes our evening out a great and relaxing moment. I think that's what a good restaurant should be about.We will go back.Lucy Hunter

Fantastic food Fantastic service Highly recommended Best Indian restaurant in the fife area by far
