The Ettrick Bar in West Dunbartonshire

Great atmosphere, especially at the weekend with live singers. The curries are superb!! Staff are so friendly too.

Lovely warm welcome on a windy autumn afternoon. Food was delicious. Lovely clean and very well maintained establishment. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

£5 15 a pint of cider a bloody disgrace London prices in a small village like this

Great local pub with fantastic atmosphere and wonderful food

Excellent quiz on Friday nights

We’ve been to the Ettrick Bar for drinks and dinner on a few of occasions and I would say that the experience was alright. Our experience this evening was however terrible. We asked for a table to dine (btw - they don’t take bookings) and were told it would be an hour before one became available. 2 hours later we were still waiting for a table. When we asked what was happening, the person was very dismissive and told us that we have to ‘wait in line’!! After 2 hrs and 30 mins, we decided to call it a day and went home, via the chip shop. Suffice to say, we won’t be back.

Absolute gem of a place in old Kilpatrick. Busy based and restaurant with a good vibe. We had the Indian food which was truly exceptional. The service was Hood and friendly. Prices were not bad. Highly recommended.

Lovely local pub with cracking food and atmosphere.

Went here for a wee anniversary lunch/dinner. Food to notch and staff so friendly and helpful

Indian food is the best I've ever tasted anywhere. Love it. The Ettrick is a great wee pub with friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

The toilet needs fixed in the gents The high stools and not comfortable to sit on Food and service were good

Best place for a curry it's so nice

Nice place , reasonable prices, good food

Vile,aggressive staff!-Went out of their way to attempt to start an argument with us a calm group of sixtysomethings!-Won't go into too much detail but it seems there are two businesses operating out of one space,and their not getting on with each other was taken out on the customers(us)!

I've been coming here for a few years and always enjoyed it. The beer garden is fantastic with a big TV and plenty of seating. Great for a sunny day. Inside (both lounge and bar) is nicely decorated, cosy and clean but can be draughty sometimes. The menu has plenty on it and both the European and Indian food is delicious. Especially the lasagne and the korma. I've never been unhappy with my order. The staff are nice and the loos are clean. Will definitely keep going!

Warm setting, lovely welcome and excellent cuisine! Very attractive card and more than reasonable prices. I can only recommend this place, don’t hesitate for a moment 🌟

Great beer garden. Was really busy when I was there and couldn't get a table for food but did a nice pint of Guinness.

Five stars for the Indian Food - and the size of the Naan bread.

Absolutely wonderful staff - charming and witty - delightful The two ladies who looked after us, made it a great evening, and the dhansak was divine. Who knew? - loved it, and what a lovely evening - thank you

Great curry house - huge naans. Friendly service. Very confusing about the difference between the sports bar and not being able to order from the big menu outside.

Phoned asked few questions can you just walk in, are children allowed and was told yes , turned up and asked for table for 5, as we were walking in a lady was coming thru the door my partner kindly held the door we were standing and lady said wait a second, we only have that high table I said ok no probs, we were then turned away as the lady my partner held the door for was giving the table !!! The lady behind the bar seen the lady pushing by us !! Needless to say I will never return absolutely rude !!! I hope the selfish lady reads this !!!!

Food is amazing, very good curries

Below average food. Not sure what packet the chicken curry came from but it was cheap and tasteless. Service was good but tired looking pub with similar food. We won’t be back.

As always, a great meal at reasonable prices.

Food was amazing and the portions were great. Service was very quick and the staff were fantastic. Would recommend for the curry lovers.

Indian food was lovely very tasteful nice music good atmosphere and pleasant staff

Food amazing,staff always friendly

Fantastic bar and lounge great cracking selection of draught beers and spirits Brilliant Food in the lounge serving their famous curries

Food excellent good menu lots of choice

Food always fantastic and friendly helpful staff.

Great place for a meal or drinks with friends, food is excellent and well priced. Busy on a Saturday with a great atmosphere

Brilliant restaurant with a great atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, cheery and so helpful, nothing is a bother to them. The food is delicious, the portions aren't too big but they are filling and the prices are reasonable. You can choose between the Ettrick bar food or Indian food. We chose Indian food for a change and we didn't regret it, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The Ettrick has a bar separate from the restaurant but we only went to the restaurant. There is free parking on the street. Try the Ettrick for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Had a fantastic meal in this pub/restaurant best Lamb bhoona in a long time great service from warm friendly staff worth a visit.

Lovely pub...food is absolutely banging 👌🏼 staff all very friendly & welcoming ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Took my son, Scott there for a meal for his 21st birthday. He didn't want a party, just a quiet get together. Meals were delicious, most of all the staff were fabulous! Wonderful people. Thank you! My son had a lovely birthday lunch x

Fabulous food and very nice staff 👌

Fantastic, service was brilliant. Food was lovely will definitely be back

Great local pub with a fine menu 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚲🛵🫗

Absolutely disgusting was there with family for drinks when the next table one of them was being very sexists… so I said to them can you stop when saying to them very quietly and with their reaction “F OFF” and we got kicked out because they complained of me being confrontational yet I wasn’t happy with someone being objectified will definitely not be back even though this is my local pub absolutely shocking to think that they don’t even hear the women’s side these days and can let women be spoken to like I was with no harm at all so they could keep going with their night when we had to get out because of their actions DISGUSTING wouldn’t even give them my money now knowing that now it’s absolutely shocking

meal was gorgeous staff were vert friendly can't wait to get back

Abs brilliant indian food,service flawless,friendly staff,4th visit,looking forward to next visit in a fortnight.

Had a great meal here. The staff were friendly and attentive and the choice of food on the menu was brilliant. Well done everyone 👍😄

We went for a celebration meal and it was fantastic, 4 clean plates and a few empty glasses, the food was lovely, great service and the bill was great value for money.

Lovely, welcoming staff and amazing food. Been a few times and its always delicious. Authentic indian cooking, will be back.

The Indian menu is so extensive and beautiful

We ordered a home delivery - amazing!! Friendly service on the phone. Arrived within time-slot. Food was incredible! Fresh, hot, utterly delicious! Really appreciated the complimentary pakoras/poppadoms. We’ll definitely be ordering again…..or visiting in person. We highly recommend this place. 👏 Top tip - cash payment needed for home delivery. 👍

popped in for a meal on the way home from loch lomond, what a find, food is top drawer

Popped in for a bit to eat. This place has a standard pub fayre for eating steak pie, mac & cheese. However, this pub has a fantastic Indian menu and is well worth trying. I would recommend trying the spicy mushrooms or one of the sizzlers.

Food is always top notch, the Indian food is incredible very authentic, the fish pakora is a must 😋

Great food, atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend.

We where recommended by friends to try The Ettrick for Indian food. I must say this place is better than any Indian restaurant we have been to. Great service by all staff. Looking forward to going back. Very reasonable prices.

First time going here food was brilliant service also good too would recommend and be back again

I was totally dissapointed with my recent visit to the Ettrick yesterday. My husband and I were out for food with friends in the afternoon where 3 of us ordered steak pie and the other ordered from the Indian menu. The Indian food looked delicious and a decent size portion although the steak pie had very little meat in it, maybe 7 or 8 small pieces with a watery gravy. I don't know whether there wasn't enough steak to go round but in which case they should of told us and 1 of us would have chosen something different. We that had the steak pie were all hungry a couple of hours after arriving home. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.

Would love to try this place but they don't have a booking service and fail to answer the phone, drove there twice and never got a table. Must be good shame they can't manage reservations

Top marks here, attentive staff who have a bit of chat, food was delicious. Genuine Indian Food, cooked here, don't think it's some local chef knocking up Indian food. It certainly is not. These people run the kitchen and serve authentic Indian food, as good as you'll get in an Indian restaurant.. Prices spot on too. Definitely recommend from me..

Great food, big shout out to very attentive staff, highly recommended

Outstanding by the way oooft amazing food and the service was brilliant 👏, cheap aswell .

Went along the other Saturday to meet friends. The weather took a change for the better so decided to sit in the beer garden had a couple of rounds which I thought were reasonably priced. We were withering on something to eat so decided on the sharing platter from the beer garden menu. We all enjoyed so decided to eat there not one of us were disappointed. Having a steak pie full house 2 chicken sizzlers kebabs delish with rice and a chicken korma again all reasonably priced great service good atmosphere and will definitely be back.

Great pub and great food friendly staff

Phoned up for table told first come first served went up told need to go to public bar till a table was ready but there was 10 empty tables because they were for four or more can’t get a table only two of us place was quiet never be back so don’t go if only two of you plenty other places to eat and better ur loss

Was in for dinner ,it was busy but service and food was great ,nice atmosphere that catered for everybody. Good value for money

Always good food, great service and good atmosphere. A difficult choice between Indian or European and Indian won on this occasion.

We had a lovely meal here tonight. The service was very good. Very polite. The sizzling Chicken Tikka was 💯 fantastic. I loved it. Enjoy every bite.

I got the curry, rice, and naan bread, and it was the best curry I have had in a long, long time 😋

Staff were very helpful and friendly, I did not enjoy the food and my drink of draught coke was flat but the waiter did change it without any fuss and also he changed my soup which was supposed to be lentil but it was tasteless as other 4 people at the table tried it and agreed with me. I had vegetable pakora instead which was nice followed by a chicken tikka masala which was very bland. Overall very disappointed and won't be back.

Staff brilliant curry amazing.willvalways be my go-to when in the area

If you want an Indian go to this place magic

Went in April, it was amazing; staff and food brilliant. Then went again three time in May just to make sure staff and food were brilliant (for science I tell thee) and I can conclude that staff and food are absolutely lovely. I now need to be booked into the Golden Jubilee for a gastric band.

Great local pub where non locals flock to and are welcomed

Fantastic food. We chose the Indian food and we were not disappointed! The food was excellent and the staff was amazing!

Lovely welcoming pub with great food and very friendly, helpful staff

We decided to buy some tickets for the legendary Ettrick tasting day. On this occasion it was a rum tasting. The wide variety of rum was exceptional in addition to our mixers, garnishes and nibbles, such as a cheeseboard and other treats to pair well with the rum. Jordon, our host had in depth knowledge and also made the event with his craic. Afterwards we dined, as usual ordered the famous Ettrick curry. This place will not disappoint, staff, food and atmosphere. A true gem.

Had lunch for three Monday was lovely and young lady that served us was so bubbly will be back

Great place to eat, the food was great, had an Indian meal at the Ettrick, good quality and plenty of it, good price and great beer, the service was very good and the staff were very helpful and friendly, we had a lovely evening.will definitely return.xx

Had a wonderful meal (chicken Korma) very knowledgeable and friendly staff and excellent food,would highly recommend

Good pub,nice atmosphere,decor lovely

Warm and friendly service. Our server, Jen, was so patient with us and our lack of knowledge. She made wonderful suggestions and we had a delicious meal. I have a big appetite but couldn't begin to eat half of the Indian sample platter, though it was truly fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic food, one of the best Indian dishes I’ve had in a very long time, bar staff also amazingly welcoming and helpful. Thanks for a lovely evening. We will be back.

Went for dinner and drinks last night, I asked the bar staff what time last food orders are. I was confidently told 9pm. We had a couple of drinks while waiting for a member of our party. I went to the bar at 8:45pm to order our dinner to be told the kitchen is shut for orders as they are far to busy. So had to get a takeaway on way home, food was probably better for it. Will I be back... highly unlikely

One of the best Indians I've ever had

Great place and friendly staff. The food is excellent 👌

Great atmosphere, live music was good

This place offers a full Indian menu (as well as British food )!and was recommended by friends who had been . Have to say the food was wonderful and very reasonably priced .Their chicken tikka sizzler was fabulous Drinks very reasonable too . Not often you discover a hidden gem like this

Had a lovely 😍 meal 😋 😍 ☺️ a few drinks 🍸 with my friend traci it was lovely the food was awesome xx

Great wee place,busy with great food.

If not a local they will put you in a corner and forget about you

Lovely food and staff. Very busy on a Thursday night.

The Indian food never disappoints and great for a wee catch up with good friends

Very good food, great service and reasonable prices. Would recommend this lunch and evening meal good choice of Indian and Chinese food as well.

Fabulous village bar with attentive staff who make you feel so welcome. Lovely surroundings. Curry menu is phenomenal. Well stocked bar.

Always great customer service in this place, we love it. Food and drinks reasonably priced and the food is always excellent.

Friendly staff always make the experience a good one

Love it, great service and amazing curry

Probably the favourite in the village for me, nicely decorated, good atmosphere

Excellent service excellent staff excellent food

Great Indian food and pub choice for those that don't like Indian food. Its a small place, no booking, just turn up. Very friendly and relaxed, although it does get busy so you might have to wait for a table at peak times but that's okay, the bar is right next door. Would go back anytime although just one picky point. I wish they would use less salt in their food, it tasted great without the need for quite so much. Would recommend for anyone wanting a chilled night out for dinner. Nor really a place for large parties. Not tried the beer garden yet, will have to wait for the weather.

Food was brilliant would highly recommend.

The Ettrick is one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Its beautifully decorated inside, the food is incredible. If you've been thinking about trying here, I would recommend that you go. You will not regret it.

Great food and ambiance created by staff.

What a lovely place to eat at! The food and the atmosphere at the Ettrick is really brilliant. The staff made our evening particularly special as they were so warm, friendly and made us feel genuinely welcome. The waitress who served us in particular was just so nice and made us feel like nothing was a bother at all. When we arrived we were seated straight away in a cosy wee corner, the atmosphere felt so cool and relaxed. For those who haven’t been, the pub is split into a bar and a lounge through the wall serving food. They offer a full Indian menu as well as a menu of European and pub classics. My partner and I both ordered off the Indian menu and were very happy with our meal, everything arrived quickly despite it being a busy Friday night in the restaurant. I particularly loved my cauliflower pakora that our waitress had recommended, it was absolutely delicious! Portion size was also very generous. Thank you for a lovely dinner, it’s been a highlight in our annual leave week and we can’t wait to come back soon :)
