Stornoway Balti House in Eilean Siar

look as a Glaswegian, I know Indian restaurants. I make no comments on the restaurant itself as we took takeaway. the food is plentiful but very average. As another review has indicated, the sauces seem really sweet and bland. Average at best

Had an enjoyable family celebration meal and there was a very friendly welcome. Food was ok. Loved the sharing starters. They don't do coffee or desserts.

Nice curries, good service and an enthusiastic owner. Thumbs up!

Been here a few times. Food was really good and good size portion.

Visited last night for a takeaway for 2,Firstly the price at just under £28 is absolutely extortionate.

We ate here twice during our week stay. To be fair, the first time was a Sunday night, and if you know Stornoway there is very little choice on a Sunday night, but we were very pleased with our choice. The food was lovely, generous portions, and the staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful with lots of tips for our week ahead. We chose here for our last night too, and were equally as pleased. The food again was lovely and the staff were all too pleased to explain the history of the dish (Parsi wedding food for bride). Yes, the place is a bit old fashioned but it's clean and comfortable

We visited this restaurant during time on Stornoway and bought a takeaway meal. The food was tasty and hot and plentiful. The rice was lovely as was the garlic naan we got.

Rice were not properly cooked and I ordered sag PANEER, paneer means Indian cottage cheese and what I got was completely different cheese (cheddar or whatever the chef used), either the chef doesn't know what paneer is or he is fooling around, but the overall taste of the food was alright and so I thought to give 'average' and not 'poor', waiters were hospitable and also guided us in finding nearby pharmacies which was nice of them, another problem I noticed was tables that are kept quite inside in the room are getting ignored as they are completely out of the sight of waiters and so it turns out to be hard for customers and waiters to interact with each other.

Finding somewhere to eat out in Stornoway on a Sunday, or anywhere else on Lewis for that matter, is not easy, and I was surprised that the Balti House wasn't busier. The staff were charming, service was excellent and the food was good too. I'd definitely think of eating there on any other day of the week.

Excellent as usual and has become part of our holidays back home. Lovely young lady and gent served us perfectly (give them a pay rise! They totally deserve one). Food and extra were delicious, hot and served quickly. Cannot fault it :)

Yes it's musty, and old fashioned and the Michelin star might never happen but if you want to completely relax and enjoy well cooked curries and starters, then this is the place - we ordered for 4 and had drinks for about £100 including tip. Actually, the platter to share was one of the best we have had with great variety - our kids played safe with Korma and Chasni, and we had dansak and bhuta, forgive the spelling. If you feel inclined to be down on this place during the meal then I recommend the cobra beer, after 2 or 3 you will be relatively unable to be negative - the staff are local kids who are keen to please and even when my teenage daughter smashed a glass soaking herself in coke (how we laughed), the young staffers replaced it immediately at no charge in the hope that she would repeat the mistake. You can park for free across the street too - I dare you to go, and unlike the waspish reviews below you might even find you have a great night.

El restaurante no es muy atractivo, tiene un hall de sucio. Dentro, el lugar luce mejor y el personal es amable.

We tried this restaurant last week. I have never quite tasted anything as awful as the food served there. From the spiced onions consisting of raw onions with a sprinkle of herbs (no sauce or anything), to the Tesco naan bread (which was the highlight of the dinner), topped it off by a brick-hard half chicken (which I hadn't ordered) in a tin sauce, the food did not remotely resemble Indian food. A main meal (plus their interpretation of spiced onions) and a soft drink came to nearly £40! Disgraceful!

Resultó difícil encontrar un lugar para comer en Stornoway. Sin reservas hechas, opciones limitadas. Decidimos probar el Balti House. El personal era amable y acogedor. El menú era todavía extenso básico. La comida era muy fresca y sabrosa, las selecciones de vino eran muy limitados y eran bastante pobres. La camarera parecía totalmente confundido y no sabe nada sobre el menú. Ella nos trajo la comida para otra mesa y fue totalmente un desastre, a pesar de que el restaurante estaba muy tranquilo. Simpático pero muy inexperto.

The Balti House is now effectively being run by one of Mr Ali's sons and he is making a fine job of it being more go-ahead and innovative than his father. The food was excellent, the service was good and the price was reasonable. Well worth a visit when in Stornoway

This building is in serious need of rebuilding/renovation it's been a long while since I've eaten in quite as rough a building. The food though was fine. Maybe with some money spent on a decent modernisation then with the location it could be a great spot but it's going to need that upgrade

Went in the restaurant with my family, 3 of us at 9-40 pm, which I know is a little late, but its a Friday night. the welcome was awful, was told they are closing at 10 and basically got the impression that they couldn't be bothered, so we left.They clearly didn't want the business and it left us with a bad feeling.So when in Stornoway go elsewhere where you will be welcome, as we were 5 minutes later at another restaurant.

We found this curry house by chance and it was a welcome break in a great spot overlooking the harbour. The food was good and the service very good. Pleasant enough!

Travelling in the outer Hebrides based in Stornaway. Decided with our friends one night to get a takeaway. Extensive menu, delicious food not expensive.Ready within 20 mins, centre of the town so easy to collect. I don't think they deliver. Nice restaurant if staying longer we would have gone back.

Ate here on a Sunday evening when many other restaurants were closed. We were surprised at the varied menu offering curries unfamiliar to us which was great. Food was lovely. Palomar sauce was delicious and unusual. Staff were friendly. The restaurant was well used for takeaway food while we were there.

This restaurant saved us. They were open late. We arrived around 9:30 and were met by friendly and helpful staff. They did not rush us to finish our meal, even though we were the only ones in. They have an extensive menu and the curry we had was very nice.

We arrived at around 9:30 and no where was open except Stornoway Balti House. The food is pretty good and in generous portions the service was polite and friendly. Beer was expensive at around £5.50 for a Cobra but an overall good experience.

Popped in for a quick snack, ordered some vegetable pakora for takeaway. Food was ready in five minutes and served with a delicious yoghurt sauce. The pakoras were crispy and flavourful and a generous portion for £3. Will definitely visit again when in Stornoway !

Friday night in March. Empty restaurant. Short on soft drinks. Our expectations were not high. Food came out....... delicious! Really good curry, highly recommend!

We found this place in. January Sunday evening. It was warm, the staff helpful & friendly, the service swift and the food from the imaginative menu great. Really would struggle to find fault!

Bland, very average food not cheap either and i wasn't very impressed with the attitude of the staff. Felt as though none of them wanted to be there. Didn't see one smile.

On the road overlooking the harbour it looked ok from the front but inside it was a bit different and only stayed because someone had booked a table for a large group of us. Service was very slow, drank a pint of larger before we even got the starters, main courses came a while after that. Food wasn't bad but the state of the carpet left a lot to be desired, supposed to be red patterned but it was black, I mean black especially near the bar and toward the kitchen area, not much better in the rest of the place. Didn't dare go to the toilet. No.

The food is tasty & of good quality and portion sizes are not too big but filling. Service is good & it's reasonably priced. If in Stornoway again I'd definitely pay it a visit!

Welcoming, cosy restaurant on the seafront. Serves excellent range of dishes and good value for money.

The place requires a good re fit it looks tired. No draft beers etc all out of cans for £3.50 it's overpriced. The popadoms were cold and had been lying about, the spiced onions have cucumber in it? The main meal souse was plain and all looked similar again why? Overall average the islands are busy and you want people to come back and enjoy a good meal out after all that's what we are paying good money for.

Very nice staff and chefs recommandations.Special treat was a suprise for us: we talked about a drink called Lassi wich we have in our hometown in NL. But it was not on the menu.No problem. "we'll make it for you.Perfectly made lassi with mango taste. This is what makes my holiday.

Good service. Good food. Fresh and tasty. Prices reasonable. Recommended as good place to eat. Easy to access, but quiet inside.

Spent 3 weeks on lewis and probably our worst night .... we had what can only be described as a puddle with chicken and luke warm pints.!! Alot to be desired had a better meal in the "bangla spice "

A classic menu and friendly staff. We arrived 30minutes before closing so just had one course, which, in spite of the chicken dish looking ominously red, was well cooked and tasty, the lamb was succulent and spicy and the nan was excellent. Would visit again. Also to note it is one of the very few places in the town open for food on a Sunday.

A classic Indian Restaurant with a classic Indian Menu. The owners were friendly and welcoming, the food was really good and above average for this type of menu. Would recommend it.

Had dinner here on Tuesday night.Nice wee place.Had pakora for starter and passanda for mains.Food was beautiful. Will revisit again when back on the Island.

Food was good. I had balti chicken tikka jalfrezi madras hot. Only down side of the place for me is the decor. Dirty carpet and grubby fixtures and fittings. Needs a major refurb and facelift.

It was Thursday night so not very busy but more's the pity because the food is very good. We only had 2 main courses with a vegetable side dish but we still couldn't finish it all.

Shame this restaurant used to be nice. Our starter arrived, the Pakora's were very over cooked and a slight stale smell of a deep fat fryer with oil well overdue to be changed. The meat of the main was chewy. The price which is higher than average is not justified when you look at the quality. Not saying we will never go back because we have good memories of previous meals in the past with a friend sadly no longer with us, but it will be a long time before we do.

Visited here before catching the ferry to the mainland. It was very nice but of the three choices for English meals two were off and I would not have liked the third. They kindly offered to make me an omelette which took a wee while to find as the chips were piled high on top of it. I couldn't finish it and certainly did not need any tea on the ferry. The rest of the family seemed to enjoy their curries too.

Used to be a regular here for our takeaways but not anymore!Our last visit I was shocked at the price increase how can you justify that much of a change?I now visit the one on the top of church street as they offer a meal deal for half the price!!!

On of the joys of cold wet nights outside is to come inside for a good curry. This place fills the requirement all ways round. It is a unfussy and relaxes atmosphere without blaring music. The food was good and more than plenty of it.

Been here many times, never yet been disappointed by a dish. Yet to have a poor curry. Calling them as I write this, because sometimes, only a Madras will do.

Only one other couple in when we were there, food not bad but rather expensive for what it is, we went for a hot dish but wasn't really hot which was disappointing! Felt like the staff were just watching us cuz it was empty!

Great location on the front of harbour. Staff were friendly. We had set menu of starter. Main .rice and ice cream. For £16. Thought this was expensive. The food was not great. Pasanda was strange and tikka masala have had better. Would not visit again.

The food is good..pakora, nan breads, main course...all fine. However, certainly pricier than most Indian Restaurants....£12, 13, 14 for run of the mill Dansak, Bhunas etc. Rice £3+ on top of that makes it about 50% more than most restaurants. Certainly pushing their luck on that front. £5.50 for a large bottle of Cobra....about £1.50 too much IMO.Dreadfull dingy decor badly in need of attention smacks of a management interested more in profit than customer experience.

Had the 3 courses for approx. £16 All ok nothing spectacular but nothing specific to fault. Service fairly slow but was pretty busy. Probably wouldn't go again. Décor awful.

Some dishes are ok, but generally they do suck.

Large varied menu with many speciality dishes, The service was excellent as was the food which came hot and well presented.Good value for money.

We went here when visiting friends. Before arriving they advised us to ignore the decor of the place. This we did as its not great. Anyway put that aside we had a lovely meal. The chicken in the curry melted in your mouth. It was one of the best indian meals I have had. Portion size was good. Between 2 we shared a starter a naan and a rice with a curry each.

1st visit to this shoddy dirty room can,t call this a restaurant! were i was seated in the window holes and damp patches above my head, old sticky food left on cheap paper table cloth and inedible over priced food! Can,t believe this place is getting away with this! After all the other places i have visited on my travels to this gorgeous island. This is certainly a blot on this other wise amazing and unique Island.

Not bad; not great. We were hungry for Indian food and this fit the bill. Service was slow and stuffy (took a very long time to pay the bill) and the prices seemed a bit high, especially since the rice did not come with the entrees. Restaurant was empty except for two other tables.

We ate here on our first night in Stornoway. The restaurant does lack atmosphere and was not especially welcoming. The food was good - I really enjoyed my garlic chilli chicken. It is expensive (even by Stornoway curry standards) and was not an especially big portion.

Very disappointed, ordered a tandoori chicken with rice Nan bread and curry sauce, the rice was ok, the nan bread was okay the curry sauce was average, the tandoori chicken was rancid, at first I thought someone had cross contaminated the sauce with mint yogurt, but then the saltiness of rancid meat hit my taste buds with that realisation the meat is off,rancid, and the dryness of the bone with over dried tandoori mix almost had me vomiting as I ran to spit the meat out of my mouth, absolutely disgusting, staff are complacent and show an ethos of arrogance, my friends and family and some work colleagues said they wished they had prior knowledge of our visit, as the reputation is poor, once bitten twice shy, had I had more time I would have packed it of ti the environmental health, my advice don't risk it, spent two days nursing stomach cramps which spoilt my visit, this resturaunt and its kitchen staff need to be re run through the fundamentals of food hygiene as they even look like a don't care business, re-heats order of the day, try HS2 excellent food and service. Cant even give the Stornoway balti house a mark out of ten, possibly a Friday night would be a better option of fresh meat vomit

Shocking decor. Staff not very friendly and can't really see this place surviving much longer! Food was ok. Not massive portions but was not bad. Had a lot better!

Great food, with large portions. Attentive staff but a relaxed atmosphere. Great vantage point to watch Stornoway passing by. Good for parties of all sizes.

Having recently moved to the area and never having been to the balti house, we decided to have an Indian carryout. We ordered a main meal and naan bread. We should have realised what this curry would be like as no-one was actually in it! We got home and we couldn't believe what we received for £13.00. The curry was oily lacked any flavour or spice and the naan bread was the size of a t plate. Apart from the quantity (for that price) the meat was tough and tasteless-the naan bread could not even be chewed, it was like cardboard!!We have eaten curries all over the world from the cheapest street restaurants to raffles in Singapore and Have to say-was one of the worst.We did telephone and complain (no manager available!) and apart from asking us to bring it down(we live 10 miles out of town) they were'nt interested. Won't be back

This restaurant is quite friendly and has really nice food. But everytime we went to pay the bill we found we were always getting overcharged.

We had a meal with friends on a Saturday night - the food was fine - the staff were fine - the place lacks atmosphere / decor - on the whole - acceptable - we enjoyed our meal.

Liked the coffee and baked potato. Had to wait about 10 minutes but potato worth the wait.Light fluffy baked potato with baked beans and salad. Salad a bit strange with hot potato and beans but it was fresh. Food that other diners ate looked delicious too.

Does look a bit uninspiring from the outside and the inside is not really much better to be honest with no real décor at all to speak of.However the food was really very good and certainly on a par with a typical curry house elsewhere (not to sure why this one is a "balti" house - seeing as they all seem to do balti). The rice was particularly light and full of flavour and supplemented a really tasty meal.Service was good and to a standard you would expect - I will most certainly return to try another dish on another day.

we tried this restaurant in Septembre 2014 while touring the Hebrides.We are regular customers of Indian restaurants so we know what we are talking about. An old man came pushing plates he dried?/dusted? and put in front of us. The waiter asked for our choice of drinks. It was ok for those having soft drinks but I wanted some Lassi ( traditional Indian drink made with milk & yogurt) They hadn't so I asked for some true Indian tea, they had not either, just British breakfast or herbal tea...We then studied the menu. They have made the effort of explaining the names of recipes for new comers, such as " Tikka, Masala, tandoori etc." stating that the dishes underneath could be prepared according to the recipes explained above.When I asked for some lamb prepared with the Masala blend of spices they said they had lamb prepared only as written on the menu. Fair enough. I had Lamb tikka but its taste was unusually sweetish. It was not bad but didn't correspond to what I am used to for this recipe.I advised my friends to have Indian Naan and we chose plain ones and cheese ones. Our dishes were delivered from the trolley again but the Naans were not ours, said the waiter to the old man. So he used his hands to seize the naans and turned them whih both hands in order to check! It put me off for the rest of my meal. The German customers who had never tasted indian food and drank coca cola with their meals said they foundnothing wrong in the taste of their dishes....... but I was so disappointed that a couple of days after our return home we went to our favourite Indian restaurant in Lyon "Le Shalimar"and I could once again enjoy true delicious Indian cuisine in an elegant Indian environment ! So for a genuine Indian cuisine & elegant service I recommend..... "Le shalimar" in Lyon!

Food was ok - nothing special. The prices are really expensive relative to the quality. Lacking in atmosphere too. Very disappointed with our visit

I've read the reviews about the decor and the carpet. Fortunately, the efficient staff didn't ask me to eat my meal off the floor. I was happy to eat from the spotless table, and my muddy, sandy boots didn't feel like they were spoiling the pile. Also, for those of you who criticised the "atmosphere", I can confirm there was sufficient nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and noble gases when my partner and I attended. I suggest if you want a disco/ birthday party/Valentine's extravaganza in full swing at 6pm on a Monday, bring your own. Skip the bhajis and samosas. Enjoy the main dishes, naans and rice. If the staff seem too laid-back...you are from the US, and your ingrained sense of entitlement belongs at home.

Wir bestellten telefonisch, die Speisekarte war im Internet hinterlegt, und holten unser Essen ab. Pünktlich war alles fertig und so gut verpackt, dass das Essen nach 20minütiger Heimfahrt zum B&B noch warm war. Geschmacklich war das Essen richtig gut. Die Portionen waren gut. Der Preis für die Qualität angemessen. Wir würden sicherlich wieder dort bestellen. Das Lokal für nicht Abholer ist vom Ambiente nicht überragend, aber sicherlich völlig in Ordnung.

Decor is tired but the food was fine. We wnet just as it opened at 5:50pm. It was quiet but thats to be expected. Would I eat here again ? Yes but thats because your choice of Indian eateries is very limited

I rarely eat out in a Balti House, I find I can cook them better with fresher ingredients myself. The Stornoway Balti just reinforced my opinions. I ordered a special biryani and it arrived with rice and separate sauce! the rice mixture seemed to me to be fried rice with some leftover bits of everything in it, I picked out bits of pre-cooked chicken and lamb in this matrix of oily rice and felt I had to add the sauce to make it taste of something.I was there early evening and staff were uninterested. Never again.

Went inside and 3 members of staff sitting at tables no other customers. Ordered food and after half hour it came and it was warm but not piping hot. Restraunt itself could do with a good Hoover. Good view onto the harbour though. Was VERY expensive.

If you order from the Tandoori menu, be aware that sauce and rice have to be ordered separately. The Chicken Tikka that I ordered did not have the usual skewer holes in the middle which suggested to me that they came out of a bag. However, I still enjoyed my meal and the friends I was with enjoyed theirs.

Wen man davor steht, möchte man am liebsten wegrennen, aber das wäre falsch !! Drinnen sieht das Balti House schon etwas gemütlicher aus, der Service ist speditiv und freundlich. Auf der Karte gibt's eine breite Auswahl klassischer indischer Gerichte, viele Curries. Das, was auf den Tisch kommt, ist dann wirklich überraschend schmackhaft zubereitet. Wir hatten ein Lamm- und ein Chicken-Curry und waren wirklich begeistert. Übersichtliche aber brecht vielfältige Weinkarte, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Excellent place for a meal. The premises could do with a revamp but don't let that put you off.We have been on a number of occasions and the food has always been excellent. Although there are some odd dishes on the menu. The staff are very friendly and the service is good. It also has an excellent take a away for those in self catering. My son who lives in Stornoway uses it regularly.

I fancied a curry, so came across the Balti curry house, but the atmosphere was none existent, and the place could do with a make over, but staff friendly, but then comes the reason why I went there, yes, to have a curry, and I was so disappointed.The flavours was bland, nothing special, the portion size was small, and the presentation was dreary.Just my opinion, but considering limited curry houses on the island, and used to larger choice, this is just average

Stumbled across this little gem whilst in Stornoway. Food was excellent with very polite and efficient staff and represented good value.. As a guide to restaurant cleanliness I always visit the gents toilets, a good indicator I have found. I am pleased to announce that they were spotless. The exterior of the building is a little offputting and didn't fairly represent the the very clean and tidy restaurant within. I would definitely eat here again.

Coming from Glasgow we are big curry lovers. This is good not great and a bit different from main stream curry houses. The restuarant is pleasent enough inside with great service. We had popadoms with great sauce selection then the mixed vegetable platter to start-samosas , vegetable pakora and onion bhajis-all a bit greasy.Next a lamb laal and a vegetable Dulhaniya bhuna. My bhuna was more a gravy sauce and very mild for me, hubby enjoyed his laal. We had this with a cobra beer , a special egg fried rice which was more Chinese ish and a garlic nan which didn't have enough garlic. On the whole good for the area but not as good as the big city places.

We were just looking for a bit of a break in the traditional Scottish good during our trip, and stumbled across the Balti house. All in our party were happy with what we got, and found it to be surprisingly tasty and high quality all around. The decor doesn't help set the mind frame that this will be quality Indian food, but everything was perfectly cooked the night we went in. I would happily return there if this place were in my own town.

Visited recently with a colleague whilst on business in Stornoway. The place itself is a bit run down and could do with a revamp (hence 4 stars) but we couldn't complain about the food at all! Portions are really good, it's fresh and full of flavour. Staff are really friendly and the prices are excellent.

We visited for a takeaway curry having never had one from here before. A bit pricey but the portion sizes were generous and the food very nice so it's a nice treat. Staff are friendly and everything cooked to order.

When you have a curry addiction to satisfy there's not a great choice (obviously) in somewhere the size of stornoway - but this place is definitely of the heavy sauce gloop variety. So, don't expect city centre standard stuff. It's hardly changed over the years and is a bit dreary generally. Fluorescent dips, and sauces.. Nice view out the window mind

I don't go to the Balti House as often as I should.I don't know why as it is on my doorstep and I love a good curry.Last Saturday night I decided to address this oversight and headed down for my favourite (Chicken Madras with Egg Pilau rice and a Peshwari naan).It was just perfect; succulent and spicy with just the right balance between very tasty and very fiery.Preceded by a mixed kebab starter, I left contented and full.Like every meal I've ever had from Ali's, I couldn't fault it for flavour, presentation or value.Herself had a biryani of which not a jot was left, either.Folk have reviewed this restaurant based on personal prejudices.Ignore them.If you want the best curry in town you don't have to look too far.

I popped in one evening and found it quite charming .I liked the Decor and the subtle Indian raja that put you in mind of Kipling and a million Spices.I think it may be offensive to the staff to arrive listening to music as i still had my ear pieces in but i quickly removed them .I still found the waiters a little non plussed at me being on my own .Anyway...the food was superb and i enjoyed every minute of my meal .The dipping sauces were particularly nice and one i hadn't tasted before which was Yoghurty and Sweet .This won the Chef more bragg - points in my book .Enjoyable and satisfying.

The staff are friendly, possibly from loneliness. The local population tends to eat early which explains why so many places take last orders at nine. The food was appetising if a little unimaginative with a good choice of dishes at a reasonable price. The decor is dire but on a cold wet winter night, it is as good a place to be as any for fast, inexpensive food.

Having been unable to get reservations at another restaurant we ended up at Stornoway Baltimore House, but we were not disappointed. The staff were nice and efficient and the food was very good. We enjoyed the friendly nature of the staff. Worth a visit.

On my way to tonight's B&B, I realised I needed a quick meal, and I stopped in here. 40 minutes later, I was out and off after a rather good meal. Chicken Tikka, followed by Lamb Kashmiri. Excellent food at a fair price. Place was empty apart from me, but it was early evening.I often wonder how we end up with Balti Restaurants in these remote corners of the UK. Whatever the reason, I'm grateful. NB : 20 years ago, I was regaled by a chum claiming that he drove off the ferry to be met by "Rajiv McTavish's Curry House", the apparent home of the Tandoori Black Pudding. He may have been lying, but this harbour-facing Balti is an excellent alternative.

I didn't t have high expectation of this meal, however last night on Lewis with no one in the mood to cook thought we'd have a curry. And wow, what a revelation - my king prawn bhuna was excellent, as was my travelling companions jalfrezi and rogan. Staff were really friendly and hospitable, and will be straight there on my return visit next year.

I love curry and like to try different dishes where ever I go. Although most of the meals I had tried before, I did manage to find a new meal which did not disappoint. The food and service were excellent. The prices reasonable and ambience great.

We stayed in Stornoway while touring Harris and Lewis and decided to eat at the Stornoway Balti. The restaurant is nice and located on the seafront. The staff were helpful and the food was very good with an extensive menu. Personally, this restaurant offers better Indian food than many in Welsh and English towns and cities. If you are in the Stornoway area, it's worth a visit for a quality Indian meal.

My wife and I had a lovely meal here last night...the service was prompt, attentive and freindly...The food itself arrived piping hot and very tasty....the Lamb Tikka is to die for....very succelent and juicy,,,,,upon asking the waiter , i was informed the Lamb is locally sourced on the island....I am telling you 100% , try the Lamb Tikka, you will be surprised!!!My wife had a Kurfan Special with mushroom fried rice......the taste was nice with a hint of sweet aromatic flavours...she said it was the best mild/medium dish she had tasted....Overall i would say its good value for money as our trip around the town we noticed other places with much higher prices!!! They have a early dinner menu under £16 per person.....so were going back before we finish our holiday!

The food is certainly good enough, at least from our one meal here. When it came time to pay, I had an unpleasant surprise: neither my American credit card or debit card would be acceptable forms of payment. Apparently most UK payment cards now have an embedded chip that can be used to charge the card, ain addition to the usual magnetic stripe. This restaurant was equipped only to accept chipped cards, but did not have a magnetic card reader. I even asked if they could charge the card manually by writing a slip and calling the charge to the credit company, the way one can do in the US, but they said that this would not be possible. There was also no notice posted that advised customers of the limitation in credit card payment options.Every other establishment during our stay was able to accept our unchipped cards, but not this one. It was an upsetting end to a good dinner. Luckily we were able to go to a nearby ATM and get cash to pay for the meal, but it was an inconvenience to say the least.

this is a really good inidan rest. situated close to ferry terminal -there is a varied menu and the food is excellent

If your passing this place and fancy a curry keep walking over priced bland food and small portions crap go to the county or another curry house

Very friendly and helpful staff with food received promptly. Well cooked and tasty.Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Abbiamo cenato veramente bene, il proprietario é stato molto gentile e ci ha dato ottimi consigli.Cibo di qualità, servizio veloce. Tutto ben curato.

We have just returned from a trip to Stornoway and had dinner here on our last night. Food is of a good standard, hot, well cooked and presented and service was very prompt and friendly.Try the sweet naan bread, this was a new one to me, recommended by the owner/manager and absolutely wonderful.

Had a lovely meal, good service and the prices were reasonable, nothing was too much trouble. Enjoyable evening.

The staff were good and the owner friendly. The food was good and came quickly.

Tasty Indian food in friendly atmosphere. Not having reserved a table for one of the busiest evenings of the year during the HebCelt weekend, we found ourselves walking into this little Stornoway Indian right by the harbour. Although they were very busy and obviously working under high pressure, the service was ever so friendly and the food well-cooked. On our search for somewhere to eat, other places were recommended to us and so ended up popping our heads in at various other places. Can't say that the atmosphere in those in any way stood out. Out of the places we saw this place proved a great option to the obviously nice-looking places.

We didn't expect much - our prejudices (and past experience) tell us that Indian restaurants outside the big cities are often not very good. But what a pleasant surprise! Really nice friendly service (despite us being rather wet and having piles of soggy cycling gear with us) and pretty decent food. We would certainly go back again.

We ate here one night during a day trip from Harris. The restaurant does a good trade in carry outs which is usually a good sign and this proved to be true.We received very good service and the food was very tasty and well cooked. Also we found the prices to be reasonable.A good Indian restaurant well worth a visit.

I experienced a meal at this place on two occasions and both were nothing to write home about and a little expensive to say the least as I had a Chicken Tikka Balti with 2 Chapati's and no rice and a small glass of coke and it came to £15 and on the second occasion I was with a colleague and we had 3 Poppadoms with two dishes of chutney and mixed onions and a Chicken Korma with Rice and a Plain Nan and I had Chicken Tikka Balti again with 2 Chapati's and no rice and we had 3 small cokes between us and the bill was just over £43 and I worked out that this would have cost around £20 at home so they are a wee bit pricey

My wife and I had a good meal from here.I had Khans chicken tikka Balti and my wife had a veg kurfan.Good portions and very tasty. Actually much better than the eat in meal I had here a couple of years before which quite frankly was not very good,. Maybe they have improved since then.Prices are obviously a little higher than on the mainland considering lack of competition but still ok.
