One of the invoices says The India Palm the other says Royal India? Who knows what’s going on there? No breakdown on the bills just a total price so no idea if you’ve been charged for what you’ve actually had.Service was ok but rushed, food was poor. My main course seemed to be unidentifiable gristle in rice.

Me and my partner are both vegans. We contacted this restaurant to see if they had vegan options to which they said yes. When ordering, we asked again about the vegan options and the gentleman told us whatever we ordered, they would make vegan. The waiter was very helpful in letting us know what we could not eat - we could not order naan breads but were offered chipattis instead, which were very tasty. Overall a really enjoyable meal, nice staff and lovely food! Would definitely visit again.

We came here for dinner on a recent trip to Dumfries and I really wished we hadn't.It was a Sunday evening and there was a buffet on (is this even allowed in covid times?) but we didn't fancy any of the food at the buffet so we ordered from the main menu.The place itself is quite nice and the staff were all friendly enough.I had chicken pakora as a starter and chicken bhuna as my main with rice and cheese nan.The food was disgusting. The pakora was like something you get from farmfoods and the bhuna was bland bland bland with not much of it. The cheese nan bread was awful, just basically congealed cheese on some basic nan bread.I am writing this review 2 days after my visit and my stomach still hasn't settled. Awful experience.

My mother worked in an Indian Restaurant (she wasn’t Indian) as a Manageress when I was 11 and started me eating curries (she had been in the catering trade for years) and learned the Indian skills) 66 years on and thousands of curries cooked by her and myself along with hundreds of restaurants I just had my BEST EVER curry I cannot say any more other than it was the house specialty Chicken Murgh 11/10

Always enjoy a visit here for dinner, the food is fabulous, and the decor outstanding. Had garlic mushrooms for starter, and tandoori chicken for mains, both cooked to perfection, washed down with a Kingfisher beer. This restaurant is spotlessly clean, and the decor is so warm and welcoming, definitely be back very soon, covid permitting.

This was our second visit. Our normal Indian restaurants are along the famous Curry Mile in Manchester. Whilst the quality of the food wis was quite good, the presentation was poor. No trivets to keep the food hot at the table and cutlery was wrapped in cheap paper napkins. Plus the manager was less than welcoming and even quite abrupt to the paying customers.

Tried to get booked in recently but reported to be full, which is fine. However, the manager rudely shouted out a time to return and walked off. Who does he think he is, arrogance and rudeness is not welcome as far as I am concerned. He can stick his restaurant I will not be back.

Usually go here for the Sunday buffet, but had the a la carte, which was excellent. Cheese and garlic Nan was to die for, although probably not a traditional Indian offering.

we had a meal here a few years ago which was lovely ,however our visit tonight was very disappointing!Chicken Tikka & Chicken tandoori meals lacked any spice at all .To be fair I've made better at home ! Come on people when you visit an Indian restaurant your looking for something spicy and tasty which wasn't the case tonight sadly .Your establishment is stunning so bring the food up to standard and you will be inundated with customers .perhaps sample your own food and Im sure ul agree the food is lacking any depth of flavour & the spice levels need to be upped .

I am far from a frequent reviewer, but the lack of customer service from this establishment cannot go unreported. Saddened that in a difficult time for many businesses, some fail to consider their loyal customers looking to keep them afloat.We made an order only to find out an hour later that out order was not to be delivered 2 hours after the order was placed, which the messages suggested, but not at all. No concern from the staff and completely dismissed.We are all for supporting local businesses, yet shall be steering clear of this one.

Visited the India Palm for the first time recently and was thoroughly impressed. From start to finish we received a very friendly service from all the staff. Our meal was excellent and served with no undue waiting time. The restaurant itself has a pleasant ambience and the whole dining experience was excellent.I shall certainly be returning and would thoroughly recommend the India Palm to anyone looking for great Indian food in the centre of Dumfries at very reasonable prices.

Going off previous reviews we were a little apprehensive about eating here. We ordered popadoms and dips, which didn’t disappoint. The two main courses we ordered (Chicken special handhi and chicken South Indian garlic chilli) were both extremely tasty. We wouldn’t hesitate eating here, if ever in Dumfries again.

We are locals and used to really enjoy the Sunday buffet. Lately it’s not been great, but thought we’d give it another shot. Not great unfortunately. The staff and manager couldn’t have been less interested in making it a nice day experience. Despite our chatting to the waiter, he barely engaged with us. Quite disheartening. We’ve been going there for about 3 years but it’s never been this bad. The food, it was less than inspiring, tepid and lacking in depth of flavour. The lamb dish ad so little lamb it had to be fished out to get even a mouthful. The popadom were cold and soggy, the nan appallingly limp. The salad, cheapest and least flavoured tomatoes available I’m sure. The chicken tikka starter, certainly not tandoori. I’d guess marinaded and microwaved. What a let down. 40 pounds down the drain. If they’re not 8nterestd then give it up.

There's nothing to pull The India Palm above the run of the mill Indian restaurants. The usual range of offerings but it seemed that dishes were less spiced than in most. I don't like things too spicy but my mildly spiced dish was mild to the point of being bland. My companion chose a hot dish but it was spiced to a level I would have been comfortable with (much nicer than my choice!). Toilets spotlessly clean.Prices very reasonable and so a perfectly decent place to come for a casual meal out and don't want to spend too much.

We tried the Sunday buffet which was good value and reasonably tasty. Not a great veggie selection though the meat eaters were well catered for. The starters were generally better than the mains, not that the mains were bad, just very average. Tasty though and not greasy, so for the price you can't really complain. If you're after an authentic curry this isn't the place though if you want quantity, value and the anglicised curries that pretty much all similar restaurants offer, then worth visiting.

Small portions was my experience in July 2019. I asked for King Prawns with my meal and got 5. When I say 5, three had been crowned but 2 had barely reached the prince stage. The portion barely covered the plate and the Nan bread could have come straight from a supermarket packet. On the credit side the ice cream was good but how difficult is it to prepare decent ice cream?

We are not great fans of Indian food as we never know what to chose but couldnot find a place to eat after walking around town so thought we would give this place a try. The place was bright and clean and we were given a choice of the main menu or having the buffet as it was a Thursday night. We decided on the main menu and if we had known what to choose the service was efficient and pleasant. We started with poppadoms and tray of dips to share which we usually have as we know this item was ok but dips weren t as nice as some we have had. I had duck dish in creamy sauce with sweet n sour paste not a big helping but enough and cost £9. 95 my husband had a lamb dish don t know what it was called but cost £11.95 he also had a dessert toffee twirl which was basically ice cream as most of their desserts were not too keen on ice cream myself so didn t have dessert. The bill came to £40.38 and included a pint of lager and a half with blackcurrant which I suppose was about right.

Good buffet, but all the rest is unbelievable. We had reservations for 2pm. When we come in, the food wasn't ready yet. Only half of us get glasses.After asking for more then we get the rest. Paid for 2hrs buffet, but after 1hr they collected the second set of cutlery. After 1hr 20min they took all glasses of our table. So if you planning good time with family or friends go somewhere else.

Food here isn’t great. Smallish portions (not necessarily a bad thing - most Indian restaurants serve over large portions in our experience) and not that warm. Bland flavours. Nan was thin and crispy but good. “Tea” was a joke. A Tetley teabag and UHT milk sachets. Thought some of the food was over cooked. Service was disinterested and half hearted. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Went to The Indian Palm restaurant tonight (first time) it was empty, but it was early, 16:30ish. Waiter was polite and done his job efficiently. We both tried something that we hadn't had in Indian restaurants before. We were not disappointed, both starters & both main meals were excellent. Drinks are expensive, as to be expected now-a-days. Toilets were modern & clean, not immaculate, considering the amount of tiles, it would take all day to clean them properly. We left a tip and will definitely return. Point to note, I read them last. The ONE STAR reviews are dated 2015. Go and enjoy.

We ate here tonight and although initially had concerns about a) the place was almost empty and b) it had a buffet option, which I always associate with cheap rubbish food, we decided to avoid the buffet and after some popadoms and pickle tray, had a lamb jalfrezi and a sizzling tandoori chicken and were pleasantly surprised, both were very good, especially the tandoori chicken, however, the yoghurt was pink, I’m guessing from earlier diners mixing the spoons up and making me very suspicious that they salvage the pickle trays, a massive no-no and the table cloth was not clean and had stains from previous diners, so although I can’t give five stars, we would probably come here again.

The curry was excellent, in particular the vegetable barji’s. However, I was charged an extra £2 to deliver to the hotel I was staying in, I wouldn’t have minded if this was up front on the Just Eat site but by the time I was told of this charge it was too late. Overall, great tasting curry though!

Excelente menú (quizás la clasificación para "caliente" es un poco generoso). El curry es clasificado del Amur muy caliente, pero es más moderado a moderado/caliente. Los sabores eran excelentes, con un buen equilibrio de especias permitiendo a los gustos individuales para ser apreciado. Hay una amplia variedad de platos y en algunos casos es posible seleccionar tu carne favorecido. Carne de cerdo no figuran (más comprensible), pero sería agradable ver cabra. Los platos laterales están bien preparados y el arroz está bien preparado y no recargado. Mango lassi está disponible y muy sabroso.

After having visited this restaurant numerous times before, the pathia I had to endure was the final straw. It was as if it came right out of a box in a freezer, meat as tough as old boots (seemed like it had been reheated 5 times) and a sauce that had skin on, yes, skin, and was overly sweet. It was absolutely foul and probably the worst meal I've ever had in an Asian restaurant. The times I had visited prior, the food seemed okay (3/5 star, I'd say), it was edible but not excellent. Fortunately for this establishment, there aren't many places to go in Dumfries for a good Asian, if any. The service was pleasant.

Second visit here in a matter of months and neither occasion has disappointed.Decent sized portions of tasty and varied food, much of which I have not seen on offer in other establishments.Took a little time to place our order due to the limited attention of the main waiter who to be honest, did not appear to be too interested (a Spanish waiter in an Indian restaurant - there has to be a joke in there somewhere?).The nann was fresh and light, rice was light and fluffy, our main meals were plentiful and tasted as if they had been made specifically. Poppadoms were rather stale but the array of sauces/onions which accompanied them made up for that very slight disappointment.

Our first time in Dumfries and a check on Tripadvisor suggested the Palm was worth trying. We arrived Sat evening about 8pm. It was busy so a reasonable number must think the place is ok. We were shown to our table very quickly but asked for one of the booths. No problem was the answer and the table was quickly made up. Service was always positive, with a smile but at times a bit slow. This did not bother us as it allowd time betwen courses to talk and enjoy the evening. What we did see was all the staff working very hard. It turns out two staff were ill. All the staff including the owner were appologetic but there was no reason for this. The owner even gave us a free drink each, unexpected and gratefully received. The food, can't fault it and we will be back.

This restaurant has an extensive menu, whether you like mild or hot curries you will find something to suit your palate, Quite a large restaurant but the decor is warm and inviting and it is pleasing to note that they use proper table linens and napkins and not the ghastly paper ones.

Went there with my brother, his wife and my niece. Starters from the menu were fresh and well prepared. We all had different dishes from the main menu which gave plenty of options, suiting all different palates. My niece was given a child's portion that was more than enough for her. This was at a lower price. Side dishes for the main course were nice, but were in my mind a little expensive. Nan breads and rice were also fine.

A great choice of dishes, lots of old favourites, but also lots of new things to try. The array was mouthwatering and we left,Im afraid to say, more than full. And of course it was all at a bargain price.The warm service and award winning food make this place an irresistable choice!!

We had to stop in Dumfries for a night during our 2 weeks road trip holidays in Scotland. We unfortunately reached there quite late (around 8pm), and it was literally a nightmare to find a restaurant that accept children after 8pm. We tried 5 or 6 restaurants who didn't want to let us in.Luckily, we found the India Palm. We were warmly welcome, and the food was good. We had chicken Tikka, mutton Bryani, naans, all perfectly cooked. Our children much appreciated the kids menu too. And the price (£55 for a 3-course dinner, including 2 pints of beer and a lassi) is value for money.So, if like us, you stop by Dumfries with your kids and you don't know where to eat, think about The India Palm, it may be the right choice ....

Lovely friendly helpful staff. Food great, very tasty & good value for money. Large portions for a family meal, 3 main courses between 4 was more than adequate

Ate here while staying in Dumfries - if, like me you like your curries very hot then go for the Phaal, I did & it was delicious. Plenty other dishes to choose from too if you don't want them so spicy..

I haven't eaten much Indian food. The host explained the vast menu. We ordered four different dishes and enjoyed all of them. Very reasonable prices.

This Restaurant achieved an Excellent rating by trip advisor recently and is well deserved. My friend and I were staying in the City last week on a golfing holiday and were in desperate need of a good curry. The food was excellent, extremely tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were attentive, warm and very friendly. It was the best Restaurant meal we had in the whole week.

This is a large restaurant with good staff and most importantly great food. We were visitors and used Trip Advisor to find an Indian restaurant near to our hotel. Service was very quick (maybe a touch rushed) and we really enjoyed the food. We will be back on our next visit.

Came here on June 13th about 7pm, the hotel I was staying in was just round the corner and I had obviously not eaten out in Dumfries before so everything was a gamble. Could not fault this place at all food was great, fresh and tasted excellent, the staff in tonight were lovely and very welcoming, not just your standard restaurant with the usual "hi, there's your seat what can I get you to drink" 5* service throughout will definitely be back in the future and strongly recommend the chicken tikka special Madras, spicy kick off it which was perfect if you like a spicy curry then go for this! Thanks India Palm for a lovely Meal!!

Visited the restaurant with my mum on a trip to Dumfries. The food was absolutely gorgeous and the staff were so friendly. The service was fast so we didn't have to wait long in between courses. Will definitely visit again next time we are around!

We went a couple of weeks ago. The resturant was really quiet so we were a little concerned but we had a brilliant evening. Lovely food only let down by the naan, in my opinion to crispy. Our server was a brilliant gent really chatty. Would recommend to a friend

I visted the India Palm Restaurant in Dumfries with 9 friends last Wednesday and had a great meal. Also the service was great, quick but not rushed and the price was reasonable about £25 per head for starters & main meal and a few beers. The waiting staff were very friendly, helpful and had some good banter with the group. We go to Dumfries every year for a golfing holiday and will definitely be back to this restaurant next year.
