Taste of India in Highland

I recently visited Taste of India in Portree and was extremely disappointed with the attitude of the receptionist and entrance staff. Their rude behavior and unwelcoming approach made for an unpleasant start to the dining experience. As a customer, I expect basic courtesy and professionalism, which were unfortunately lacking.👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I had a very disappointing experience at Taste of India today. When we entered, the staff handed us the menu and rudely told us to sit on the sofa instead of offering proper seating for our group of four. Their attitude was unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome. Good customer service is just as important as good food, but unfortunately, the staff’s behavior ruined our experience. I would not recommend this place if you expect basic respect and hospitality.

I visited Taste of India in Portree with my friends, and unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience. Right from the entrance, one of the staff members was quite rude to us. Instead of seating us at a table, even though there was plenty of space available inside, we were handed the menu and asked to choose our dishes while waiting in the lobby. This unwelcoming behavior really spoiled the mood of our visit. We expected a much warmer and respectful service, especially from a place that seems popular. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on our experience.

ninguna mejora con respecto a la última vez en 2021 , pero hay poca opción en Portree en una noche de domingo mojada en marzo. El lugar todavía está helado frío, abrigos puestos, calentadores de ventilador no ayudaron a calentar el lugar. Menús viejos y desaliñados, platos sucios y grasosos en la mesa, servicio brusco e indiferente. Llegaron las tuberías y estaban en la mesa antes de que terminaran los entrantes, la comida era mediocre. Pida dinero en efectivo al pagar la cuenta, no hay mención de esto en ninguna parte, así que aceptó a regañadientes una tarjeta. No se recomienda si se puede encontrar en otro lugar

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the staff was unfriendly and downright rude. They insisted that every guest must order at least one main course, and while that policy might be acceptable on its own, the condescending attitude that accompanied it was completely off-putting. It felt more like we were being forced into a corner than treated as valued customers. Adding insult to injury, the food itself was a letdown. Despite the restaurant's claim of serving Indian cuisine, what we received tasted more like Bangladeshi fare. The portions were tiny, especially considering the high prices, and the overall taste left much to be desired. It’s clear that they are taking advantage of the fact that there isn’t much competition in the area. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for an authentic, welcoming Indian dining experience.

I’m confused why this restaurant has mixed reviews. This is a really strong Indian restaurant, the food is fantastic and the service is excellent. The menu features a large variety of curries that I hadn’t tried before. I’d definitely recommend.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. I really enjoyed the food and the service is a 10/10. Also, the food does not take long to come. So, definitely going back.

That was the closest Indian restaurant around so we thought of trying. But won’t ever recommend nor would return back. Rude Staff. Tiny portions. Taste bland and below average. Restaurant was empty and still they acted as if it was the busiest. More than anything else, the main disappointment was the attitude of the staff.

Excelente servicio y buena comida! Fuimos en familia y todos nuestros platos eran excelentes. El servidor nos dio el asiento al lado de la calefacción, ya que hacía tanto frío fuera. ¡También porciones de buen tamaño!

Google says 3 stars? More like hidden gem status! Y'all gotta check this place out - best 'bad' rating I've ever disagreed with 😂🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Leímos las críticas, así que estaba en dos mentes acerca de ir, pero me alegro de que lo hicimos, nos encanta la comida india, y hemos estado en muchos restaurantes indios, la comida era buena, bien presentado, y cocinado bien, el gerente era amable y se hizo un punto de venir y darnos la bienvenida, la única crítica sería no música, es muy tranquilo.

Sadly, only place open when we visited Portree. We were taking away and eating on the move so ordered mixed kebab, mixed grill and onion bhajis. The wee pot of dipping sauce was luminous green! The lamb was inedible as it was so tough. The chicken was overdone and the beef kofta type thing was like sawdust. Salad was ok. Onion bhajis were soggy with grease. We were really disappointed as we had found the staff pleasant and chatty and service fine.

Dividing reviews for 2 stakeholders For all: Dirty. Very stubborn staff. Asked for extra bowls for Daal but staff denied it. Not a typical Indian hospitality. Taste was not authentic Indian. Better to eat Indian food at 1820 pub. For Indians: THIS IS A BANGLADESHI RESTAURANT masquerading as TASTE OF INDIA. The paintings of all Hindu girls(they had bindi) is objectionable and really portrays India in a bad light.The food is not at all Indian and had Bangladeshi items. Please avoid this restaurant at any cost even though you feel like eating Indian.Better to eat Indian food at 1820 pub.

Cuatro fuimos a cenar a un restaurante indio en Portree. Cuando entramos en el restaurante, la persona en el mostrador de recepción nos dio una mirada vacía e inexpresiva y la otra persona preguntó "¿cuántos? " Respondí: "cuatro". Nos dirigió hacia una mesa con un dedo... sin palabras de bienvenida ni siquiera una sonrisa. Trajo el menú y regresó solo un par de minutos después y preguntó qué nos gustaría pedir. No habíamos tenido oportunidad de mirar el menú correctamente. Le pedí que nos diera unos minutos. No dijo nada, pero parecía bastante infeliz. Después de decidir qué queríamos comer, traté de llamar su atención levantando la mano, pero él lo ignoró por completo varias veces. No había otros clientes en el restaurante en ese momento. Finalmente vino a nosotros y empezamos a decirle lo que a cada uno de nosotros nos gustaría comer. Dos de nosotros sólo queríamos algo ligero. La persona que tomó el pedido insistió en que teníamos que tener algo de una cierta sección del menú y solo entonces podremos pedir elementos de las otras partes del menú. Desafortunadamente, no había nada en esa sección que nos apeteciera comer. Los 4 tenemos entre 62 y 72 años, estamos bien viajados y hemos comido mucho, pero nunca antes nos habíamos enfrentado a una condición culinaria así en un restaurante. No es que lo que ordenábamos hubiera costado menos de lo que él insistía en que ordenáramos. Él nos dijo muy arrogantemente que había un aviso en este sentido en el restaurante. No habíamos visto tal aviso en la entrada que está abajo, ni arriba cuando entramos en el restaurante. Añadió que si cada uno de nosotros no ordenaba un plato de cierta sección del menú, entonces no serviría ninguna comida en absoluto y que debemos irnos inmediatamente. Cuando pedí ver al gerente asumiendo que la persona en la recepción era el gerente, la persona (el camarero que trata con nosotros) dijo "Yo soy el gerente". Pensé que él no podía ser el gerente en primer lugar luciendo así y comportándose atrozmente así y si él era el gerente entonces Dios ayude al restaurante. Para entonces estábamos tan disgustados por la actitud del camarero que decidimos irnos. Nuestro apetito había desaparecido. Al salir le pedí al camarero que me mostrara el aviso. Señaló un papel endeble tamaño A 4 pegado en la pared lateral izquierda cuando uno entra en el restaurante con la zona de estar a la derecha, el giro natural que cualquiera que llegara al restaurante tomaría. La mitad del aviso fue sobrepasado con otro pedazo de papel. Sugerí que pusieran un aviso tan importante en la entrada de abajo que la gente leyera antes de entrar. Nos sentimos totalmente magullados por esta experiencia. Estábamos visitando Skye desde el suroeste de Inglaterra y la pareja que llevamos con nosotros estaban visitando el Reino Unido desde el extranjero. ¿Qué impresión sobre Skye se habrían ido con haber experimentado este incidente, no puedo soportar pensar. Sospecho que este restaurante solo está sobreviviendo debido a los turistas que lo utilizan una vez y probablemente nunca volverá a él de nuevo. Dudo que tenga mucha clientela local habitual. La gente que vive aquí no toleraría un comportamiento tan repugnante y reglas extrañas sobre lo que uno debe comer. Evite este restaurante a toda costa si cree que cualquiera de los anteriores puede aplicarse a usted. Francamente hablando, este restaurante merece ser cerrado para siempre.

The food was delicious, quick and friendly service and the garlic naan was so good we ordered a second. Would come back.

We were looking for some good food after a long day of driving and site seeing in Skye. We were happy to see an Indian restaurant close by. But we were shocked to see the rude and arrogant behavior of the owner as we entered! Since we were tired and exhausted, we decided to dine there. Never have I seen anyone unwelcome a guest at any restaurant!

Tasty food: delicious and spicy. Service was good. Lots of vegetarian options.

Tried the Milijhuli vegetable curry and the dal. Both were very good. Side portion was rather on the smaller side. Enquired the staff prior to ordering the Naan bread if they were using ready to bake naans which they denied and told us were being freshly made. To our surprise, we were served a naan which tasted and looked pretty much like one off a supermarket shelf. Would have been happier ordering the rice has the staff not misled us which was rather strange of them to do so. Average experience overall.

Best place to have Indian in the northern highlands. Don’t expect the perfect Indian but it does not disappoint.

The worst chicken tika masala I've ever eaten. I'm not even sure it was her. The sauce is bright red and very, very sweet. 🤮rice with garlic and flatbread with garlic saved the situation; they were delicious.

Ordered a takeaway and thought the food was delicious. Had chicken pakora and onion bhaji to start which was great. Mixed korma, lamb masala and garlic naan all very good, if a bit sweet. Delicious mint yoghurt sauce. Staff were lovely and we couldn’t fault it if you are looking for a takeaway whilst on holiday - recommended.

Avoid. Go unless you are seriously missing Indian food. The service is pathetic. When you are on a tourist belt, you need to do much better. They come to your table and ask for your entire order - drinks, appetizers and entrees. So, absolutely not a place to have an experience evening. The food is just ok.

Soo yum, we loved the butter chicken and lamb biryani obviously by the photos. The garlic naan was so good and the staff were super friendly ☺️

The food is delicious and I consider it the best restaurant I tasted during my stay in Sky Very excellent meat biryani👌🏽

Indian cuisine without big surprises

Great restaurant, I only went in for a take away small chana masala and nann but loved every last bite. It was a warm welcome by the staff who were very friendly. I only put 4 for atmosphere because I did not sit in and eat but from what I saw everyone there was enjoying there meal and environment.

We wanted to get something to take away. Very hectic staff and we had to pay immediately after ordering. The preparation went quickly but when we got home, the rice was missing from both dishes. No information from the staff. Prices for a dish without rice are very expensive. In the end it was still tasty, hence two stars.

They don’t know how to make authentic Indian/ Pakistani food. I don’t think they read the reviews either; their business model seems to be nonexistent.

No es una gran experiencia en general. Tomó mucho tiempo para hacer nuestro pedido. No es buena comida. El entrante de samosa de verduras fue decepcionante, 2 diminutas samosas poco cocinadas. Daal no tenía lentejas, se mezcló a una consistencia de sopa. No sabroso. Panes Naan aceitosos y subhechos. No puedo hablar por platos de carne. Dijo que el pago era solo en efectivo, no teníamos efectivo, así que entonces la tarjeta fue aceptada.

The name of this restaurant is misleading! It is not an Indian Restaurant and is not serving Indian food, but Bangladeshi food !

The bald little man at the reception was very bad with the service, he was rude and unpolite with us on the reception. I highly recommend not anyone to go to this restaurant. I never had these kind of behaviour from any of the restaurant,

Wonderful food, tasty, nice staff, very friendly, highly recommend. The Naan bread was wondeful.

My wife and I came inside this restaurant to ask about the restaurant. Being Indian ourselves we were curious and impressed, as we did not expect to find an Indian restaurant in Portree. Rather than greet us with warmth and hospitality, he was rude to the both of us, and insisted that we grabbed a menu and we sat down at his restaurant or leave. I’m so disappointed, and don’t recommend anyone eat here.

Pleasantly surprised given the average rating. I had a paneer dish to take away, it was absolutely delicious and the portion was just fine for me who has a good appetite. Staff not the warmest I've seen but not rude either. Ask to favor payment by cash.

Haven’t tried the food since they accept only cash.

Really good place, lovely food, one small issue, curry arrived while we were still enjoying the poppadoms, but this didn't spoil the meal, thoroughly enjoyed the evening and would recommend

Absolutely crude staff, almost getting violent while their improper behaviour is questioned. I wanted to approach the police for my safety, but couldn't do due to lack of time. Be careful to enter this place.

Haven’t tried the food since they accept only cash. Keep cash with you if wana try food here. Restaurant is on top floor & accessible through stairs only.

Palak paneer was excellent. Naan was fresh and excellent. Papadums too. Only negative was the samosas - seemed like something g out of the Tesco frozen aisle and not up to the standards of the other food. Didn’t taste bad; they tasted good. Just didn’t seem as freshly made as everything else. Atmosphere was cool: upstairs right in the heart of the Portree waterfront. Service was friendly. We enjoyed our meal.

I do see others had similar experiences to me and i guess i should've read the comments and reviews before going. I really would have given a zero rating if I could...

There were three of us here and wanted to share 2 dishes, 2 rice + 2 naan. There was almost nothing going on in the shop and we wouldn't have been served without ordering another dish. Pretty ridiculous

We arrived late in Portree and found this place to eat. In addition to not accepting cards, the dishes are scarce in terms of price, almost 8.00 pounds are added for the price of the service that is not indicated on the menu. Exorbitant prices for what they offer, not recommended at all.

Good indian food, though the athmosphere was a bit cold and the waiters were a bit too quick with cleaning the tables. But i would totally recommend going there and give the guys a chance if you are in portree

The food was great and we tried a bunch of stuff. The staff were great and recommended multiple dishes which were great. Went back a second time for dinner and the did not disappoint again.

The place serves the best Naan we had in Scotland .. we ordered one more even when we were not hungry .. the second good thing is the location and ample seating for the rest.. why was the food so sweet? And so much cabbage in all kinds of mix veg orders? The rice was fine Service was ok.. though the place was quite not fully still everybody seemed to be in a hurry.

The advantage is that it closes later than the others

Naan bread was too thick and vegetable pakora was too greasy, couldn’t finish and felt like we were rushed to get out.

Very delicious, a lot of choice and no problem at all with the service. I don't understand why people dislike being served fast.

Manager was extremely rude. Just staggeringly so. They insisted on cash once food was ordered even though a card reader was clearly visible - apparently it wasn’t working like others have said on here. Expensive for what we received. Ate at far better places on Portree. Will never return. Did I mention how unbelievably rude curt and aggressive the manger came across as.

Bien que la qualité de la nourriture soit acceptable, le service était horrible. Le propriétaire était exceptionnellement impoli et sans aucune raison. Je recommande vivement de manger ailleurs.

The taste might be okay, but I don’t say it’s Indian foods.

Ok type food.. only two I believe in the town Centre… of the two this one seems to be better w some veg options.

Food deserves a much higher score than this restaurant has...it was really good. It's also probably that only restaurant in town that's open past 8pm. Payment in cash is preferred.

The food is excellent! The biriyani is one of the best biriyani I tasted outside of India. Only thing I found little weird that somebody pointed out that each person had to order a main course to be seated. Unless you have a small child in the group this is not even an option. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to put that sign somewhere obvious rather than to say at your face. Otherwise great food, good service.

Food taste is average. Very unhealthy as we got a polythene in our curry.

Great food, can vouch for vegetarian food.

Acceptable tasting food. But the portions were very poor, too poor in quantity. They "forced" us to pay in cash because the dataphone "didn't work." They made us wait 20 minutes until we said either they would charge us or we would leave. Obviously the dataphone worked for them. Very uncomfortable experience. we will not return

I get that it can seem pricey, but in an area like Portree that is to be expected. As someone who lived in South Asia for a considerable time, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The wait staff was friendly and direct and the food a tad less spiced (as often I expect in the UK). Overall delicious.

Good food but not Indian taste.

Not sure where the bad reviews have come from, apart from Indians more annoyed at the naming of this restaurant more than anything else - this restaurant was great, attentive and friendly staff and food that didn't leave a bad taste. Would happily go again when in Portree and looking for an alternative to fish and chips!

Top floor restaurant which had great food and great service. Their curries were a good mix of creamy as well as having good cuts rather than boney meats. Their naan is sufficiently buttered as well which tasted great! Other reviews seem to focus on it not being run by Indians so I would say ignore them as they are not representing the quality of the food itself 👍

I would avoid this restaurant and recommend eating in others available. Service is unpleasant, weird rules (each of the guest MUST order main dish, at least £20 per table, they insist on paying with cash), dubious „charity” box. Food was quite ok, but they put lots of onion in every dish and taste is simply flat. Next day you will regret.

Food correct. The restaurant does not serve hot drinks (tea). Card payments over £20 (lol). A card in the restaurant informs that each customer should order one of the main dishes.

Quite surprised by their Google rating because very good food, varied menu, friendly servers. I recommend

Excellent service, tasty food, nice atmosphere

Our group. Really enjoyed our curry.

Well I am happy for the fact to be even getting an Indian restaurant at this small town. So if u crave for Indian food, this is the only option. However they are not truly Indian, they are Bangladeshi. As soon as we entered, they told us its mandate to order 1 main course dish per person (compared to the usual Indian sharing way). Also service wasn’t great. Food was deep red in colour and on a sweeter side. When we ordered naan bread for 2nd time, they said we have to wait a minimum 40 mins(in middle of the food which we were eating). I saw them pouring coke in the glass from a big coke bottle already opened. Ofcourse we craved for Indian food and this was the only option and very central. But quality wise, it’s not same as a good authentic Indian place.

Great food with real taste of India. My family enjoyed eating there. We took different chicken dishes and one vegetarian dish and all were delicious. The prices are reasonable.

Beware of this Faux Indian Place During a recent visit to "The Taste of India" in Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland, my party and I were met with a level of discourtesy that was nothing short of appalling. As a seasoned traveler and authentic Punjabi, I have traversed the culinary landscapes of Pakistan, India, and beyond, yet never have I encountered such ungracious and inhospitable service. Upon entering, our group of five adults and four children was brusquely informed that we were obligated to order nine main courses—an arbitrary and unwarranted stipulation that set the tone for the remainder of our experience. The staff's demeanor was dismissive and condescending, as if we were an imposition rather than valued patrons. The culinary offerings purported to be Indian, yet they fell egregiously short of any semblance of authenticity. The menu was littered with perplexing misnomers such as "Sabzi Shabnam," "Kaliaa," and "Mohonwala," with a variety of dishes labeled as "Hundi" rather than the traditional "Handi." These aberrations from genuine Indian cuisine were not only misleading but also disappointing in their execution. In summation, "The Taste of India" is a misnomer in the truest sense, failing to deliver both the essence of Indian hospitality and the richness of its culinary heritage. I implore potential diners to eschew this establishment in favor of venues that honor the authentic flavors and warmth that Indian cuisine is renowned for. Let this serve as a cautionary tale for those who seek genuine cultural and gastronomic experiences. Stay 100 miles away from this place. Eat McDonald's or Fish & Chips or just the chips or crisps if you have ever eaten authentic Indian food.

We were waiting to be served for a long time before someone came and then he was absolutely rude saying that we could go if we wished …would not recommend at all

The food was surprisingly good, unfortunately the samosas were a bit dry, hence a star deduction. The service was quick and courteous, at least at the beginning, but a bit uncomfortable. The food was literally cleared away with my last bite; I would have liked to have used the napkin in peace. The bill came a minute later, even though I hadn't asked for it or finished my beer (the glass was still half full).

AVOID if you can. We are a family of 4 with 2 young kids who wanted to try snacks before we ordered any food around 5:00 pm. Restaurant was pretty empty on a Wednesday evening. Put in an order of Large Kingfisher, chicken tikka masala, onion bhaji and Dahi poori - only to be told that snacks will only be served if we put in the order for food then itself. I said I am not sure yet and they said they can’t serve just snacks. We added an entree of Paneer but the waiter said we need to add 3 more entrees before they can serve any food so we left. The staff seemed non-interested in serving took them 10 min to arrive and gave a pretty anti-Indian vibe. After having dined in Dhishoom and masala Zone in London, Namaste India in Inverness, Dhishoom in Edinburgh where experience was awesome this seemed a pretty amusingly bad experience.

Ordered a meal for my husband and myself - take away. We went for the Peshwari Chicken and Saag Aloo with rice. Absolutely delicious. Everything cooked to perfection. Compliments to the chef. Thank you.

Horrible people. Called them to book a table for 2. They say we don’t take booking less than 10 people

Got a take away from here, food was fantastic but they asked us multiple times to pay with cash, we didn’t have cash and paid on card. Felt like they were asking a lot of people to do this, seems a bit dodgy?

Amazing food and experience. Excellent customer service skills. Thank you

Went their with kids. Food was amazing and staff was friendly! Prefer paying cash (but card possible)

Price-performance ratio is not always right, but the service and friendliness of Ali, for example, were great. And the food was very tasty.

Owner will ask for cash only if you are Indian. He is rude to Indians. I won't recommend to visit anyone here.

Variety of menus and tasty dishes. The interior is very simple and basic, but spacious and also good for a large group. Pity that they don't have the Indian yoghurt drink.

It felt like I went to school and was ordered to order the food else I would be punished🤨there was one elderly man taking the order and after mentioning order of our choice including tandoori chicken and chefs recommended chicken curry and 2 garlic naan, he harshly mentioned that each dinner should order one main course irrespective of our appetites and insisted saying that it is there rule and rudely refused to serve if not ordered and kept staring till we ordered 2nd main course dish, also he kept bragging that u guys r lucky to get a spare table today 🙄 The food was served properly in a pleasing way however the taste was pathetic 😒so I would recommend this only if u have no other option and when each of dinner has appetite to finish one whole main course meal.

DON’T COME TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!!! All liars here !!! CASH ONLY without any notice and discount !!!!! Ridiculous !!!!!! Very annoying waiter and bad food ! I never eat super sweet Indian curry ! never ever ever !!!

Lamb was chewy Service slow Grossly overpriced

Delicious food, large menu. Friendly service

Only restaurant open at 5pm so took our chances. Seated and served quickly. Food arrived in short time. Not the best food but ok. Rogan Josh good. Tawa not so good. Rice and bread ok. Wanted us to pay cash but do take cards.

This is a great spot. It has great staff all from different parts of the world and the fusion of cultures really makes an impact. I was very HAPPY with the food. IT WAS A VERY RICH INDIAN CUSININE AND I HAD A GREAT TIME.!!!

Taste of India: Een Smaakvolle Ervaring Ik heb onlangs bij Taste of India gegeten en het was een fantastische ervaring. Het eten was super lekker, vol van smaak en perfect gekruid. Elk gerecht voelde authentiek aan en was met veel zorg bereid. De vriendelijke bediening maakte de avond nog specialer. Ze waren attent, behulpzaam en altijd met een glimlach. Dit restaurant is echt een aanrader voor iedereen die van heerlijk Indiaas eten houdt. Ik kom hier zeker nog eens terug!

Taste of India: A Tasteful Experience I recently ate at Taste of India and it was a fantastic experience. The food was super tasty, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. Every dish felt authentic and was prepared with great care. The friendly service made the evening even more special. They were attentive, helpful and always with a smile. This restaurant is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys delicious Indian food. I will definitely come back here again!

Be awre: only cash is accepted!

Had high hopes on this restaurant but my experience was extremely pathetic. Forget about customer delight, they don’t even know what’s customer satisfaction. Bluntly refused to take order as they don’t want to serve side dishes, but only main dishes. Also said that they don’t care about customer’s feedback. High time they change their mindset towards customers and behave properly.

Rude staff who does not give a damn about customer. They have absurd rules of having to order atleast 1 fully curry for each person (can’t share food) and allows to order only once - thats at the beginning.. when you go in you’ll be greeted by few grumpy faces. Not surprised by the google rating.. One basic suggestion to the management of this restaurant: Learn to respect!

I am a review follower but rarely a writer. First things first, the food is fantastic! The garlic rice & garlic naan are incredible! Wish I had ordered one each. Children’s portion was generous & flavoursome, my curry addict kid devoured the lot. No mango lassis but that’s never guaranteed. As for the card machine debate. We stated as we entered that we did not have cash & if card would be ok, which it was. We paid at the counter upon leaving, however, had heard others were asked to pay by cash if possible. **Paying by card is not a problem at all.**

The staff was very kind letting us sit down for lunch 30 minutes before they closed till dinner, while other places would not seat us. The food was very tasty and left both my girl and I very satisfied with our meals. They had several different kinds of naan which made it difficult to choose but in a good way! Once the bill came the staff said it was cash only which is fine. We are in the Highlands of Scotland, in a very small town. As a tourist you should have the local currency on you regardless of where you travel.

Would give this place 1 star only because the food was actually edible. Unfortunately, the service was terrible. Our waiter was rude from the beginning, inattentive throughout the meal. The owner kept asking for cash even though it's the 21st century and they even have a card machine. The overall experience was frustrating, and I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're willing to put up with bad service for decent food.

Lets be honest.. this is one of the only places (if not the only place) that stays open after 9 pm and you do not need reservation to dine, which is the only plus points for this restaurant. The food is merely average, for an Indian restaurant, the food lacked flavor and spices. The team in the restaurant were friendly and I personally did not experience any unpleasantness as mentioned in the previous reviews

Very horrible experience. The manager was very rude to Asian (especially South and East Asian). They treated White differently. They refused to provide tap water and called me Bxxxh when I showed them a piece of raw meat in the dishes. They refused to change the dish. They even covered my phone when I tried to take picture and said this is Indian Sashimi that Chxxky love. After reading all comments here, I can conclude only White gives them 5 star review. If you are going to leave 5 star now, think twice that the owner is laughing as they can keep serving disgusting food to fool their preferred customer.

Stopped into this restaurant our first night in Portree (June 2024). Food and service were great! We ordered Paneer, Chana Ghugni, and a chicken dish that was recommended by the server with a side of garlic / cheese naan. They were one of the few restaurants open past 9PM on a Tuesday.

Great food, great service, thank you 😁

We were very concerned going into the restaurant seeing the ratings. However, the quality of food itself was quite good. I understand folks are concerned about rudeness and maybe he is not the most jovial, but in the end taste matters and for that, the current rating (2.9⭐) absolutely does not do it justice.

Extensive choice, many dishes never heard of before even though I am a curry buff. Quality second to none. Excellent service and good value. Would recommend and certainly come back if we were ever here again.
