More than my expectations, and brilliant service and food. I haven't seen such good quality of food or service in Edinburgh with these prices. There is always room for improvement, but it was much more than my expectations.

Amazing food and plenty of it too. Very good waiter service and what was left over was offered to be put in takeaway tubs. The price was good and will call again when back in Scotland. We'll done all at the Taj Mahal.

I would give 10 stars if I could. The service was incredible, the fella in charge bent over backwards to get me a curry, and it was the best tasting curry I have ever had. Will certainly be returning!!

After running out of decent Indian restaurants in Lanark we decided to try the Taj in Biggar. Food was some of the best we have tried and the menu has different dishes from run of the mill Indian restaurants

We visited on a weeknight with a large party and the owner/staff were highly accommodating of us. Service with a smile, nothing was too much to ask, and we were given recommendations for our order. Drinks very good too. The food was very tasty with huge portions, the naan breads were the biggest I've ever seen. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, we were too full to finish it all, but it was top notch. I think they have won awards for their food. Option for takeaway too. Would highly recommend!

Very helpful staff, welcoming atmosphere. My food was worth 5 stars but my partner wasn't as impressed, hence the 4 stars. Value for money. As an alternative to the motorway services offering at Abington it won hands down. We'd go again but it's a very long way from home!

This Indian restaurant was fantastic. The food was very flavourful, the customer service was superb and the restaurant was not huge, so it gave it a cozy relaxed atmosphere. If I am ever in Biggar again, we will definitely be stopping for dinner

Excellent restaurant/takeaway! Food was incredible and we were ordering to a festival in a field.. 8 families which was a challenge but everything was exactly as asked.

Very disappointed after all the good reviews and yes the service is good and they are friendly and yes the restaurant is clean etc but when you go out for food, the food is what you really care about and unfortunately this was very underwhelming! So the samosas were bland and tasteless, they said they usually come on a bed of sauce which I found odd as I've never had this before in any Indian over the whole of the UK but now I can see why as these have no flavour. Next my Jalfrezi which is a hot dish with green chillis, they asked me if I would like it medium or hot which I thought again odd as I've never been asked this before so asked for hot and when it came out it was anything but hot! No chillis, no heat and again bland. My workmate's Garlic Chilli Chicken was also not hot and the clue is in the name. And then to the naan. .. oh dear!! It was large and he even boasted they do two bigger sizes. well that's ok if they were nice but they are thick and stodgy, no crisp to it just flat and we both tried some and didn't like it. Couple that with no alcohol all totals up to thanks but we won't be back again... There are so many better Indian restaurants about if you're willing to travel!

We went here for a takeaway whilst staying in Biggar. Went to collect and the person there (owner I think) was so friendly and we chatted for a while whilst the food was being prepared. They're trying so hard to keep costs down while their own costs are rocketing. I thought the meal was reasonably priced and it was delicious. Best we've had in ages. We would definitely return if we were back in the area.

The Taj used to be a good restaurant for eating in and take out orders. We are local but rarely get food delivered as we are just outside the delivery area so we are not frequent customers as we need to collect it. The food was plentiful, the ordering process was good and the food was ready on time. No complaints here. The biggest problem was how bland the food was, it lacked all the flavours you would expect from Indian Cuisine. Any flavour was flat, no depth and completely forgettable. It was probably the worst Indian food I have had in years, nothing bad but nothing good either. It’s a shame as their food used to be far better than this, it was a very disappointing experience and something I doubt we will repeat in the future unless we hear differently.

We've just moved to Biggar from a city and our faaaavourite takeaway treat once a week is an Indian and there are tonnes to choose from in Edinburgh so coming to Biggar, where there's only one chance for a good'n- we were crossing our fingers like mad! Well we needn't have worried, it's better than any of the choices we ever had! The team are so friendly, so big tick on customer service and then the food - wow! Delicious! Not only is it delicious but there's loads of it, so quality AND quantity. We had leftovers for the next day, scrummy x 2! Really relieved and happy we've managed to move out to a beautiful place AND somehow bag the best Indian around.

We were staying around a 20 min drive from this take away and we were so pleased to hear they delivered which saved another drive after a long day. We called up to order just as they opened and arranged for our food to be delivered later in the evening. Ordering was super easy and the staff were helpful and friendly over the phone. We didn’t have cash but we’re able to pay easily via bank transfer which again saved us a journey. Food arrived bang on time and the driver was very friendly and a lovely guy. Food arrived hot and was delicious. We ordered two curries, 3 sides including rice and paratha and also a starter and all were delicious. It’s the first time in a long time we have ordered Indian food and loved every part of it. The portions were generous and the lamb so tender. We also received free popodoms and dips which was a nice touch. We were so impressed with the quality of the food and the service and would absolutely recommend and will be ordering from here again on our return to Biggar. Thanks so much!

We decided to get a takeaway when we were visiting a village not too far from the restaurant. We were so happy we did. The food was beautiful and fresh tasting, it came at the time we asked for it to be delivered and the customer service was excellent. It was nice to try some different types food rather than the same style of curry that we see back home. The flavours were lovely and the portions were very generous compared to what we see back home and in most places. We will be returning here again when we visit in the future.

Ordered a carry out Chicken Bhuna, with extra chillies, rice and trimmings as staying locally in my caravan. The order was taken very efficiently and staff were lovely when I picked it up. Unfortunately the curry was awful, like a bad vegetable stew with no flavour, probably the worst curry I have bought anywhere to date. Rice was good and Chapattis average.

We all have different tastes but we have never tasted anything “Indian” like this Indian. We had two purée starters. Supposed to have been different. Both just sweet and sickly. The mains were the same. In fact we have been twice and have always regretted it. Felt awful the next day. The food and style of their “Indian” just does not suit us. We are only a few miles away but travel farther to get a decent meal. Sorry but not our scene and the service is overpoweringly yuch. Overly friendly to the point of intrusion.

Fab food, lovely team, and a really warm welcome, Taj Mahal is a superb restaurant that punches well above what you’d expect from a small town setting. Amazing weeknight kebabs, unusual specials and a really high quality take out menu make this the first choice restaurant in the area. Their contribution to local community (including supporting folk from miles around) shows how they go the extra mile. Can’t recommend highly enough.

If someone asked me what I have missed most during lockdown, going to the Taj Mahal for a sit in meal would have ranked very high as this was something I really loved pre covid times. But switching to take aways has equally been a great choice for us. We have been ordering our favourite dishes and sauces that we would normally get in the restaurant and everything is super fresh and tastes great. A new addition to the Taj menu are the kebaps and they've certainly proved to be a highlight with us. I can highly recommend the paneer kebaps. They are so succulent and everything that comes with it, the grilled onion, grilled peppers, salad and a choice of sauces blends in very well. Customer service also still excellent despite lockdown. Food usually ready for the pick up timeslots we are given and well packaged so it's still hot by the time we get home. When things look a bit bleak during these covid times, some delicious Taj Mahal food definitely brightens up your day.

Having not used this restaurant for some time. We thought we would give it another chance.Firstly I wish to congratulate the chef on his ability to use so many spices or claim to and come up with an utterly tasteless dish. The vegetables in our side dish had obviously been thrown into a sauce without being drained as there was a water puddle surrounding them on the plate no not oil definitely water.The Nan bread was dense and heavy and for whatever reason had been pricked through all over so no air was ever going to trap and allow it to rise. Whats most annoying of all is we actually paid for this crap.Awe well back to the best wee Currie house in penicuik from now on worth the trip.

Thanks to all who helped prepare a delicious lockdown takeaway for 10 key workers on duty to celebrate the last shift of our colleague who retired that night! His choice, as the Taj Mahal, Biggar is one of his all time favourites. They even have a special dish they make him to order! This was of course included in the order. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the delicious flavours, beautiful meat it was both plentiful and fresh and a good variety for all tastes. I imagine we’ll all be back! Thanks

For the second time this month (oops)... we got ourselves a lockdown takeaway from the boys at Taj. The first time at the beginning of the month. We went for our usual, every time, whether sitting in, or for a takeaway we always get the same - probably because we know it’s so good, not forgetting the HUGE Cheese and Garlic Naan. On Tuesday we went got another delivery. Again, delivered in less than 45 mins. Everyone in Biggar has been talking about the Kebabs they’ve introduced, so we thought we’d try something different. Clearly eyes bigger than the belly, we went for the deluxe, I felt like I was eating it for a week. So much amazing meat, wrapped in a huge Naan with all the extras you’d expect of salad and sauces. AMAZING as always gents. Well done on being so great!

The Taj is a truly excellent Indian restaurant - the menu is extensive, even for vegans, the mixture of spices are full of wonderful flavours and the welcome we receive from the staff is always a delight. They are rightly proud of the lack of additives and the high quality of what goes into the meals and are happy to discuss the ingredients and advise. The takeaways are delicious too. We have visited several times over the last year, and had at least 5 takeaways - and we are never disappointed.

Eating in this restaurant was a very strange experience. I’m not sure what kind of food we were being served, but it certainly wasn’t Indian as it claims to be. I started with a very mediocre onion bhaji, not much to go wrong there. But the Rogan Josh main course was sweet and creamy and completely the wrong colour. Not much tomato, no coriander. Whatever it was it wasn’t Rogan Josh. The service was annoying and intrusive and, when questioned about the food, became defensive and almost hostile. Judging by the other rave reviews, either many locals don’t have much experience of Indian food, or this place is definitely an acquired taste.

This was one of the worst Indian meals I have ever had. The prawn puri came in a sweet gloopy white sauce and looked like something unmentionable. No hint of colour or flavour. The main - Chicken- came in a slightly pinker sauce that had no taste at all. I asked for it to be changed and it came back with so much curry powder that it was inedible. The rice and chapati were the best things on the table. Menu is way too large - but I suspect every dish is more or less the same with a minor twist. The waiter thought he was a comic and was advising too much - his recommendations proved to be terrible. They charged for everything apart from my starter. I note that previous critical reviews are responded to by saying they ‘have all these awards so must be doing something right.’ Nothing was right for me and whoever is judging was not eating the same food as I was that evening. Appalling food, avoid.

Recently moved to Biggar. The Taj Mahal has been very highly recommended by so many people, that we arranged to go for my husband's birthday. Our waiter, Nadeem, was outstanding. So helpful, friendly and informative about the menu. The food was superb, lovely atmosphere and the service was top class. A birthday banner was put up and a surprise birthday cake with sparkler after the meal. Will most certainly be back soon.Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious meal at the Taj Mahal on our way to stay in Edinburgh. There was so much to choose from on the menu - lots of authentic dishes and flavours. Our food was tasty and the portions were generous. Moreover, the service was friendly, welcoming and so helpful. My partner is vegan - he received a special menu, with plenty of choice and the staff were very attentive to his requirements. This meal was a great start to our holiday - thank you to all at the Taj Mahal!

Whether it is a quiet meal for two or a special event, the Taj always seems to deliver. From the excellent service from all of your staff, to the interesting specials and use of local ingredients, we often choose the Taj, even for takeaways. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the good times!

Went in for takeaway and asked to yous the toilet and was rudely told it was for sit in customers only. Which I think any buying customer should be entitled!

Google doesn’t have enough stars to truly rate Ristorante La Vigna. My family popped in by chance after an autumn walk at New Lanark, expecting a standard pizza/ pasta Italian that you would find in most small towns, but were very pleasantly surprised. This charming restaurant is easily one of the best finds in Scotland. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by Aldo and the warm, welcoming staff - who are exceptionally gracious and attentive. The restaurant exudes sophistication with its elegant decor, soft lighting, and refined atmosphere of fine dining, but without losing its homey and relaxing feel. We loved how authentic it is, making for a truly special dining experience. The waiters are masters of their trade, attentive without being overly fussy, and magically appear just when you need a sprig of Parmesan - or another drink. And the food - wow! It’s fresh and absolutely delicious. While they don’t have a children’s menu, they were very accommodating and offered to make pasta pomodoro for our fussy kids. Both left with clean plates, which speaks for itself! Every dish is presented exquisitely, and bursts with flavour; whether you're indulging in their steak, enjoying super fresh fish and shellfish (my wife’s family hails from the Hebridean islands and set the gold standard for fish critiques), or savouring one of their delightful desserts, wheeled to your table on a cart for you to choose from. Ristorante La Vigna is a fantastic spot for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. We can’t recommend it enough! (I don’t normally photograph food, but did on this occasion)
