Rishis Indian Aroma, Stirling in Stirling

Having heard mixed reports of this eatery, we decided to visit on a cold wet night. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who showed us to our table. The service, however, was extremely slow, and we had to ask when our food was coming. The food was mediocre, one of the party, said his main lacked chicken and the sauce was very thin, but tasted OK. The plain naan bread was like cardboard and cold. Overall average, and room for improvement.

Pasamos por aquí mientras visitábamos algunos pubs y dijimos que lo probaríamos, llegamos alrededor de las 8 y media un sábado y nos mostraron nuestras mesas. Tenía algo de comida increíble aquí, y aunque no probamos los platos del sur de la India y fuimos por los platos indios genéricos, ten por seguro que cuando visitemos Stirling de nuevo lo probaremos ya que toda la comida se veía increíble. Recomiendo encarecidamente este indio incluso si usted está deseando una comida para llevar!

Muy buen restaurante. El sabor de la comida era excelente. El ambiente en el restaurante podría ser mejor. No es esa sensación cálida que esperaría de un restaurante indio.

El mejor servicio. Buena comida y sabor. Rajesh nos sirvió, él era muy servicial y amable. Gran servicio. Comparado con Glasgow y Edimburgo, este es uno mejor.

Restaurante auténtico indio que mantiene buena calidad de sabor. Los precios también son razonables. El servicio es agradable. Se recomienda reserva previa. Podrían haber sido mejores asientos. Platos recomendados: - Masala Dosa, Rava Masala Dosa, Paneer Dosa & Pani Puri

We went for a special traditional meal in celebration of the festival of Onam. It was amazing : a huge banana leaf artfully adorned with lots of lovely tasters of Keralan dishes. Really colourful and tasty food . We are looking forward to coming back and trying the dosas.

We were visiting Stirling and not had much expectations, just glad found a South Indian restaurant. We live in Leicester which is known to authentic south Indian food. We ordered masala dosa & veg thali. Both were very nice the chutneys, sambar, curries dosa all tasted great. The staff were very courteous, polite & checked few times. The manager Rajesh came & had had good chat. It was quiet & ambiance was good. Overall very pleased to see such a nice Indian. I found out they got branches in few places in Scotland. Must try it say!

Friendly staff, excellent freshly made and tasty food. The yogurt bombs were absolutely amazing along with onion bhajis for starters. Peshwari Naan light and tasty and the mains were also delicious. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal.

This place truly stands out for south Indian vegetarian food -- their dosas are spectacular. They provide north Indian vegetarian food as well and, although we did not try them, you can find lamb and chicken dishes. Dosas with meat stuffing are on the menu, but the vegetarian ones are authentic and taste better. On a street with several other competitive Indian restaurants, they hold their own with this distinct and high-quality offering. The decor is decent, the service is good, and the prices are low. You come here for the food and stay to dine.

This was our second time to this restaurant in Stirling my wife and I had the most amazing south Indian meal we had chicken and egg noodles and chicken and vegetable Manchurian it was absolutely fantastic the flavours and the oils and spices were perfect I also had the carrot Halwa Desert which was also delicious the staff and chefs are also so friendly and polite and so professional it's so nice to find somewhere so good as this restaurant in Scotland and also very reasonable priced would highly recommend.

Visited Stirling Branch with friends on a busy Saturday night. The Restaurant was fully packed. Ordered Lamb Roganjosh with Garlic Naan, Masala Dosa and Lamb Dosa. Waited a while for the food to arrive and the food was hot, so original and tasty. worth the wait. We never tasted so authentic indian food antywhere else in Scotland.

Amazing authentic South Indian restaurant. Highly recommend the weekend special dum briyani, it makes you feel at home. Over all Good ambience and friendly staffs and delicious foods.

Worst Indian I have ever had. My korma had 3 small pieces of chicken in and when I complained was told chef said it had 7. Saag aloo was like baby food. Ordered onion bhaji as was listed gluten free but when bought to table told they were not. No apologies. Indian is my favourite food and have had all over UK and lots of countries in world but this was awful . Disgusted no attempt from waiter to rectify situation.

We were served by helpful and friendly staff who were happy to talk about menu options. We tried the delicious savoury yoghurt bombs as a starter. Satisfyingly refreshing. Then we had a beautifully made mysore masala dosa. As good as Taste of India in East Ham. Highly recommended.

Nice family meal with good food and lovely smiley attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the veg thali and those who had the meat thali said it was good too. Good value for money compared to some places. We'll be back! Thank you.

Recently I had dinner with my friends at rishis .Excellent food presentation..food service was so professional..the cost gives us complacent...good eye apeal in each and every dishes ,the taste was so good..over all staffs are so friendly.it was a good memory..

Visited with family at the Rishis Stirling Branch. Lots of choices for Lunch. We had south indian Platter, Manchurian and Noodles. Reasonalble price. Nice Staff and Nicely decorated Restaurant. Definitely Will be back.

This restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with its diverse selection of street food and mouthwatering desserts. The yogurt bombs, chaat puri, aloo paratha, and falooda stand out as personal favorites, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to authentic flavors. The ambiance is perfect for dining in, complemented by excellent staff service and impeccable cleanliness, making it a top choice for any occasion.

I have been here a few times and also taken takeaway. I notice quality is so variable on each time I have had food from this place. No consistency of taste of food. On take away menu, I ordered a veg thali and I had to search for paneer in the curry. Also had missed some of my order which was annoying.

Came with large group for christmas. Had the lamb rogan josh and prawn malabari and was some of the tastiest I had. Coffee machine broke so they gave us 2 for 1. Very attentive and lovely staff. Defo would go again .

Wow! 5 star Indian Restaurant. Apart from family cooking, I have not tasted a proper authentic 3 course meal at a restaurant until I came to Rishi’s. I thoroughly recommend the Chilli Gobj for starter, dosa for main course and either Jesse i or carrot halwa for dessert. Brilliant device as well! Friendly staff 🤗

A quiet Friday afternoon. Pre theatre menu was well priced and a good selection. Staff are on the ball. Restaurant and toilets were spotless. Chicken & Veg starters were small and greasy they had obviously been deep fried a few times, strange sauce. Decent portions for the main course of tikka masala and chetinhad again the rice was greasy. Too much filing in the peshwari nan and far too sweet. Sadly the food was not to our taste.

Best desi/indian restaurant in Stirling! Worth a visit. I tried their paneer 65 and chicken biryani both were so delicious. Flavour was well blended. Wonderful service! Loved the experience. Would surely visit again!

Whilst staying local to Stirling my great friend suggested we dine in this Indian restaurant, a most inspired choice. The staff were welcoming and attentive to our dining requests. I’ve never during my many global experiences had nor even heard of a Ghee Roast Dosa as we were both hungry chaps it was a great choice of starter much better than the usual poppadoms and dippers. My choice of Fish Molee main meal was also inspired and tasted delicious and kept my taste buds alive for many hours after eating. Hope to return in the future…..

Visited Rishi's for the first time this evening and it was wonderful. Staff very friendly and food was fantastic. Will definitely be back!

This is a culinary gem! Best flavors and perfect service make it a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine.

We had a Dosa, and veg & non veg thali. Food was very good, all dishes flavourful. Roti was large, and one of the best I have had. The only dislike was the poppadum which was very greasy, so didn't eat it. Left feeling very satisfied and full.

Busy evening, had to wait a while to get a table but still worth the wait. Walked up to the restaurant hearing some good reviews from locals we met in the street. Food was absolutely brilliant, every pinch og flavour was at the taste. Staffs were very helpful and kind. Its rare too some efficient staff these days. Overall It was the best south indian i had.

Night began with the waiter tipping 3 full pints of beer over two of our party. Clothing ruined we barely got an apology. Recompense consisted of free poppadoms (probably free normally anyway). Food was fairly mediocre and beers barely drinkable. Not even discount on the...

We had a lovely lunch here today, we popped in on chance but what a find! The food was exceptionally good and the staff were attentive and professional. The place has a nice spacious interior with modern decor and everything is immaculately clean and well...

Oooooooo Mamamia! Excellent food.tried Tandoori mix platter, Dosa, Tandoori Methi Masala, madras portta and few more recommended dishes, wooooowwwww just amazing 👏 best Indian ever tried.

The service was very quick and outstanding. Very friendly staff. Indeed best Indian restaurant of the town. Definitely my go-to place from now on.

Never been so disappointed in an Indian in my life. I had a itison voucher which was told on the phone it was no problem and to give it over when paying the bill. When it got to paying the bill they said I could...

What a great meal we had, from start to finish, we picked a selection of starters with the Manchurian chicken being my favourite, followed up by a great selection of mains, the Ceylon Lamb Curry I ordered was delicious as was everything else we tried,...

Fantastic meal tonight. Tasty curries, lovely rice, cracking naan. Loads of choice on the menus and excellent service. Can not find any fault at all. Will be back very soon!

Wouldn't rush back tbh . Usually have amazing 3 course lunches opposite at Rhanas for £7.95 ish Tried Rishis instead . Had the Thali ,meat option. Not much staff interaction, would have been nice to have been explained what was in the dishes as I...

Fantastic meal for our first time at Rishi’s. Up-market South Indian cuisine beautifully prepared. Had the sheesh kebab for starter and Ceylonese Lamb from the chef’s special menu- both excellent. Will be returning for sure.

Went to Rishis on Sunday 30th July and we were a table for 4. The staff are really friendly and the food is amazing. We had starters, mains and accompaniments and we all thought the food was delicious. Our first time at Rishis but we...

Amazing curry with excellent service. Dropped into Rishis after a day in Stirling. Pupoafo s fir starter were excellent , light and crispy. Service anazing, given time but also attentive. Curry’s were best I’ve had in a long time. Fresh, tasty and cooked to perfection....

Excellent food ,service and value. Very nice manager keen to know we were satisfied with everything.

1.Food and hygiene 95/100 Lamb could have cooked bit more softer. Butter chicken was soo tasty,haven’t had such a wonderful curry for ages. All Curries taste different from other restaurants in UK, it tastes good and fresh. Devil Prawns and Manchurian was just on top.

Absolutely gorgeous food but the overwhelming smell of damp was quite off putting. Should be a busy place but this could be the reason people don’t return

We had the lunch deal here and it was fabulous. Every item including dosa, poori, idli and vada was cooked to perfection . Service was excellent. In addition I had arranged a buffet of 6 items for 18 people to be taken away. My friends...

Pretty good effort for my Sunday lunch. Just £13.95 is a bargain. Poppadom with two chutnies then chicken, chicken curry, lamb curry, chana, rice, Chapatti and a small sweet. All really decent quality.

"Fresh, right spice, delightful crepes, outstanding breads, mesmerizing flavors. Excellent service.

A relatively new restaurant and what a find! I’m a business traveller on my own, and normally a visit to Indian restaurants can be pretty soulless and I almost feel an intruder. Mainly due to me eating out week days and places being dead. This...

Great food and variety of options compared to other restaurants. Beautiful ambience and great service. Will definitely come back.

A very different Indian experience. The food was excellent and service was great. As the dishes were new to us we had lots of questions about what everything and this was done in a useful and informed way (much appreciated). The starters were on the...

This is a fabulous place. Delicious authentic food. 10/10. Friendly welcome. A very welcome addition to Stirling. The Dosa are fab

Food is amazing and so the ambience. It reminds me of the desi style Indian food🥹♥️ Also, the service is quick and the staff is friendly.

I tried mysore masala dosa for the first time and it was really good. Much recommend. Service and food top class.

Amazing experience.i heard that a new restaurant is opened in stirling. So, I went there with my friends. I love the lunch deal offer. It was too pocket friendly compared to other places I have visited. Hospitality from staff, food, ambiance, everything was perfect. Love...

The staff were more interested in sitting us in the window, to make the place look busy, rather than thinking we’d like a table away from the large crowd of noisy young kids. There was no Sauvignon Blanc despite it being one of few white...

Very nice place to have tasty and good quality food in pocket friendly budget. Behavior of staff is also very good. Must visit place with friends and family.

I tried a couple of other curry houses which were fully booked. Finally found this place, which wasn't very busy, so I think maybe it's quite new Staff were friendly, and service was very quick. Starters and curries were all great, 5*

A wonderful South Indian treat..food tastes amazing, staffs are wonderful and courteous especially Mr Perzcy who was very friendly and delivered personal attention... Altogether a very beautiful place & highly recommended...

Great ambience, great food. Came with the family and loved it! The food was authentic and the staff very friendly. Would highly recommend the devil’s chicken as a starter.

Authentic taste and delicious food. Great ambience and very close to Stirling Castle. Glad that now Rishi is close to 🏡
