The Tiffin Box in East Lothian

I know the Tiffin box can be a bit hit or miss but tonight was truly the worst curry I have ever eaten. I did not this it was possible to make a couple of curry’s so bland, undeseasoned and tasteless. One time too many for me, won’t return and wouldn’t advise anyone else to order from here.

5 pieces of chicken in each dish. sauce was like water. all round disappointment. Would not recommend

Absolutely Terrible . . Watery sauce ,Lamb chewy , takes ages to get order and staff can't be botherd. Would never order here again.

Food took 2 hours to arrive just for it to not even be warm and be very bland, had to add our own salt/spices to make it have taste

Very disapointed. 4 carry out meals ordered online and were dubious when we arrived to pick it up as it did not look like an Indian carry out Restaraunt at all. None of the boxes marked. All the same colour sauces! All more like soup so watery with only 5 small peices chicken in each not at all what we ordered none of the ingredients in it we ordered ie almonds cashews onions chilli etc mentioned in the sauces on menu Nans overcooked burnt Infact n meals cold Had it not been after 9 pm and us having to travel to east fortune with meals we would have gone right back The money we spent on this carry out to literally be put in the bin Avoid it’s the worst carry out ever

Total shocking service take your order then dont answer phone crap service terrible food chased food up several tines still answer

Lovely freshly prepared food. Would definitely recommend

Always get a great takeaway here, staff are welcoming and helpful and food is excellent.

Tiffin bad in Coventry food is below par I’ve had better from a takeaway meal at the supermarket

We were told delivery would be an hour. An hour and 45 minutes later, a terrible excuse for an Indian meal arrived. Complete garbage.

We ordered a delivery at 6pm for 8.05. About 8.10 thought I'd better look at my phone. At 7pm they had cancelled our order - rejected - as they put it - after already charging us. No reason given but they showed they were then closed. Not a good way to ruun a restaurant.

Was desperate for a good Indian takeaway,was a bit disappointed if I'm honest, vegetable pakora was a bit dry, chicken pakora was average and chicken tikka starter was very spicy,may go back and try something else.

Great food and amazing customer service! We forgot to order rice with our meal. They delivered it to our apartment within 5 mins...free of any charge! Truly outstanding!!

Picked up an order earlier today, staff were friendly but that's were it ended. The poppadoms tasted stale and off, the curry was sour and small portion. It made us sick! After calling them to get money back they came to our house and spoke to my 78 year old mother in a terrible way, as he so eloquently put it, there's clearly something wrong you and not the food and don't come back to the shop. Absolutely shocking way to speak to a customer.

Hot dry pan for the chapati lads, thin mix, wrap them in tin foil Too thick and they'd sweated Fish pakora bang on, nice n light n correct amount of spice in the batter.

Had a smashing carry out, very good, if that way again will go back

Everything we ordered was fantastic and It was made fresh so was still piping hot by the time it got back. The naan was amazing but the lamb was cooked perfectly.

Terrible food..... Balti was overloaded with lime made it too sour to enjoy, fries were barely cooked and cold, curry dishes we're runny and the lamb was fatty and mushy, delivered cold in a split bag. £60 down the drain. Never again.

First visit, amazing food, tiffin box deal is excellent value. We will 100% be returning thank you

My husband and I affectionately referred to this place as Pakora Palace during our stay in North Berwick. We tried every variation of pakora on offer. The vegetable and the fish pakora were excellent. I recommend buying a double portion of fish pakora, swinging by The Rocketeer for a box of chips, and sitting by the beach to enjoy this primo seaside snack. The chickpea and potato curry was also excellent, and the staff are friendly. We can’t wait to be back.

Great meal, friendly staff on behalf of giancarlo from paisley.

Stoped at north berwick for 4 days and went for a takeaway from this Indian and all I can say it was absolutely disgusting

Very over priced sub standard food

Excellent service and food was amazing would 100% recommend 😊

Was really looking forward to our takeaway tonight unfortunately the only things that were OK were the poppadoms and garlic nann meals were warm ,bland and the chicken tikka korma was NOT a chicken tikka korma, because the garlic nann was put into a brown paper bag it had gone all soggy and stuck to it which made half of it inedible and 1 of the chutneys had the lid off hence it was all over the place. The Tiffin box I would not recommend and will never use again. We are tourists and expected a far better meal for £30 than what we got. Visited the premises next day and they were filthy and if I had seen this before I would never entertained the placei also phoned and the response I got was they didn't really care and not even an apology

In the area on a Short Break, took a punt from a Google search. Delivery time as stated and more than reasonable given Easter weekend, food stunning, great taste and great portions size. Will definitely use again when in the area. Good job folks!

Moving from Edinburgh, I was a bit gutted leaving behind so many exceptional Indian takeaways. In my humble opinion, I'd say the Lamb Bhuna, Peshwari Naan and Vegi Pakora make it the best takeaway in NB. Defo on a par with any Lamb Bhuna and Peshwari Naan combo I've had in Auld Reekie.

Sadly if you like chiken or any other meat and maybe fish it's just that with a sauce to poor o er ! Can say nothing else !

I've ordered several times and I just don't understand the curry from this place. The main curries each time (Pathia and Chasni) have both been the consistency and colour of blood. Sticky, warm, red and runny. I've eaten plenty of curry in my life and I've never seen it have that consistency before Tiffin Box. But why? It's really not what you want at all. North Berwick is crying out for a decent takeaway but this is just consistently disappointing. Also, no onion bhajis and delivery takes 75 mins? Come on.

This is the second meal we have had that has been not good. Portion sizes were small and flavours bland. Bit disappointed as it used to be good. Seems they have kinda given up, the reception area is dirty and full of junk also. I will be driving the 22 mile round trip to Haddington for Eastern eye from now on as the quality is miles ahead.

A really excellent Indian carry - out, had a couple of meals during our recent holiday (one wasn't enough!) and we were both really impressed by the taste...and the quantity...and the price!

As a family treat we had chicken korma and chicken tikka masala with poppadoms and naan. The chicken and poppadoms were good but it stopped there as the sauces lacked flavour, naan dry, and both were just warm. Would not recommend and feel I've been generous in two stars.

I recently visited North Berwick for a break and got a takeaway from The Tiffin Box. When I got to my accommodation I found I only had part order. I rang them as it was too far to go back and was profusely apologised to and a refund would be credited within 24 hours. This was 3 weeks ago and no refund. The food we got was ok a bit bland.

Ordered the Tiffin for 2 which was a reasonable price, unfortunately the quality was not very good. Chicken Pakora starter was tasty, the Chicken Chat was dry and overwhelming flavour of cumin. Garlic Naan good , plenty garlic butter. Chicken Tikka Tarka Dahl was unseasoned, overly spiced with cumin and little else, watery and the lentils were not cooked properly. Lamb Tikka Karahi was very watery, no tomato flavor to it at all considering its a tomato based curry. All i got form the flavor was green pepper. Disappointing

Great first impressions of the Tiffin Bpx. Ordering was easy with a good selection. Our delivery was on time snd though we had a couple of missing its this was quickly rectified. Much appreciated. The food was first class, perhaps the lamb could have been a bit more tender but still acceptable. Portions too large for us so we enjoyed a second night re heated in the microwave. We will order again.

I have ordered from here several times and have found the food to be of a consistently high quality and delicious. The staff have been lovely everytime.The paneer starter and vegetable pakora is to die for and the lamb curries are always beautiful and tender. Highly recommended

Tasty Puri and chicken tikka, decent naan, tho the prawn pasanda was very bland, with microscopic shrimps.

Excellent quality and friendly service. Highly recommended. Also take card payment over the phone which is incredibly handy. Their food is delicious! Naan is exceptional!

Good portion sizes, nice food, not too oily, well spiced. Order well in advance if you want food at peak times as these guys are always busy (good sign!)

Absolutely yummy food, perfectly cooked chicken. Very friendly staff . Finally some great food in North Berwick

Amazing old style vegetable pakora with actual big chunks of potato! Great flavour and a really fresh and spicy tomato dip to go with it - best pakora I've had in a long time!

Ordered a take away this evening using the menu posted on trip advisor. There were 7 of us. Only three of the 7 dishes were edible. 4 of them were so spicy those of us who do not like vindaloo-hot levels were unable to eat them. The other 3 were also very spicy but fortunately 3 men in the party enjoy that. My fish curry burnt the roof of my mouth (I am someone who normally likes a medium level of spice and eats curries regularly). The chicken korma was also very spicy. Telephoned the take away to raise the issue and was told my taste in level of spice was subjective. They said we should have specified a mild level on ordering even for the korma. Very disappointing and waste of £80. Sad end to our holiday in North Berwick. Shame.

Very friendly staff, not to mention fantastic and authentic food! Best Indian I have ever had - highly recommend the Lamb Saag & Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi.

great food and great lads serving in the shop,also they arranged for a taxi to get us back to the hotel which we thought was very good of them as the streets were very busy at that time cheers lads keep up the good work.

Friendly and efficient service. Their menu is not that easy to navigate online and you can’t pick up a paper copy so choosing isn’t as seamless as you’d hope. The food wasn’t outstanding and some of the sauces not quite to our taste (the chicken tikka masala sauce was very coconutty , the prawn dopiaza a little sour) but it was fine. Portion sizes are very generous especially the huge naans which were very good. It was takeaway only when we went in late July 2020.

Just had an amazing meal delivered on time top Mark's to The Tiffin Box and all the staff.

Im not sure if you have different chefs on a rota or not, but the chef that was on Saturday 30th May did an amazing job. Its the best take away we have had from you, its always very tasty, but the amount of meat to sauce this time was spot on. In past its been the other way round.....we all had different dishes and everyone gave theirs a big thumbs up!

Saturday evening some four weeks in to lockdown and we initially tried for Chinese around the County without success (understandably) so decided to try The Tiffin Box. Glad we did as the food was excellent and it was very hot (temperature wise). In comparative terms maybe a wee bit pricey for a takeaway but worth it for quantity of meat and quality. So long as this does not suffer then I will be happy to use in future.

Since last Indian eatery closed there has been a need for a good quality option in NB. Tried this out and all meals were very fresh, tasty and of excellent quality. Though not as good value as Central belt stalwarts like Green Gates/mother India it was an interesting menu and competitive in the local pricing.

Great food & delivery service always. Unsure why anyone would not enjoy a meal from here as never disappointed with the quality.

From the reviews it looks like something might have changed, the main course was absolutely dire. It was like a powder had been mixed with water and zero flavour. The actual chicken was good quality and decent amount but I couldn't finish the meal as it was just so tasteless. A disappointing experience.

I ordered vegetable pakora, tarka dahl with vegetables and a naan bread to be collected and when I asked whether or not the naan bread was freshly made, my question was met with derision and I was asked sarcastically, 'out of interest' how I thought it was going to be made, to which I answered that not all restaurants make every aspect of the food they sell themselves. The portions were good, but unfortunately, apart from the naan bread, which I have to say was huge and delicious, the rest of the food was not. The vegatable pakora was so unbelievably hot and tasted so predominantly of coarsley ground coriander seeds, and was served with such an unappetising bright pink sauce that after eating one I could stomach no more. I hoped the main dish would be more edible, but alas, it was not. Again, it had way too much chilli in it, it had horrible seasoning, and as far as the 'vegetables' went, they were just undercooked large chunks of potato, some cauliflower and about two slices of mushroom. Far from the variety I was hoping for. Thankfully my son had ordered Chinese from the Lucky House in North Berwick, so I was able to share his food, rather than go hungry!

My partner and I had a curry from here while spending a weekend away in Seacliff. I had a south Indian garlic chicken curry and he had a chicken madras. They were both really tasty and reasonably priced! Partner said the Madras was very spicy (which he likes) but worth noting in case people prefer their madras on the milder side.

This takeaway is a great addition to the North Berwick eating scene. We ordered a delivery yesterday evening which came promptly. The food was hot (temperature-wise!) and delicious. Especially good were the vegetable pakora, plain naan and chicken tikka butter masala.

A nice place... Friendly people... Great food

Got a delivery of Chicken Korma and ri ce and it arrived promtptly but we were soooo disappointed. The korma sauce was spicy but tasteless!

Sad to say I was a bit disappointed with my meal the other night (as were the other 3 people with me). The cooking of the tandoori king prawns and chicken was excellent but that's where it stopped. The naans were doughy and undercooked. The passanda lacked flavour and the tandoori sauce resembled flavourless soup. Dont know whether they were having an off day but I don't think I'll be back in a hurry.

Even when very busy produces great food in reasonable waiting time. Great menu choice and great quality of food

This was a very surprising and amazingly tasty curry. We visit north berwick regularly and like to try a selection of places. This place interested us during the day when we walked past and thought we must give it a try one night. Well tonight was the night and wow not a night to be disappointed. The food was amazing from the chicken pakoras to the amazing curries. The flavors were so real you could taste every ingredient. Stunning food! The nams are just to die for, thin tasty and huge! Wow Wow and wow, these other reviews that say not tasty or having to add spice are clearly crazy. The gentleman was lovely and approachable and told us more about the food. Lovely to see a young guy trying to make a go at a business and lovely to see him serving amazing tasty food. One of the best curries we have had in a very very long time. We will be telling many people about the tiffin box. Thank you. We will be back.

I never thought the day would come when I would end up having to season Indian food. The vegetarian curry was made with large chunks of potato and cauliflower with 3 or 4 mushroom slices and a few green peas... all liase in a boring and unseasoned sauce... lazy cooking springs to mind.

Good selection and choice from the menu, not a massive menue but the food is always tasty. Service can be a bit of a wait at the weekends but thats to be expected.

Had the best Indian carry out ever last night!!! Everything was cooked to perfection, the chicken, the lamb, the lentils, rice and garlic naan bread, were utterly divine!! Thank you so much Nav for our first experience of your amazing cuisine, we’ll certainly be coming back for more! It was lovely to see you and to have a little chat in between you dealing with customers in shop and phone orders, and we are delighted that business is going so well for you and your family.......you so, so deserve it!!!👌👍🏻👏 Bebe & Mario Cugini

We ordered a delivery to Tantallon caravan park during a family trip to north Berwick . The food was fresh and really top quality. Delivery was prompt and Nav who dropped off the food very courteous. I would highly recommend the tiffin box if you are every visiting north Berwick !

Ordered a takeaway to be delivered to Tantallon caravan park, the delivery driver phoned to say he was on his way and to meet him at reception, he arrived as I got there. Very pleasant young man gave us the food which you could feel was piping hot. The food was delicious, one of the best Indian meals we’ve had, and a great price. Highly recommend this place and will definitely go back

I have had 2 carry outs of different items and they were very similar. Lots of sauce and not much else.

This is a takeaway only but they also deliver in the area. I love Indian food but have never, ever tasted anything as fresh and good as this. Good price as well.

Bought one side dish today to take away. It was about 3.30pm so perhaps they were doing me a favour. Discussed with lovely gentleman who served me and decided on spinach mixed with potato, chickpea and cauliflower. Now this is my opinion on the flavour. Brown sauce, consistency of thick gravy. Tasted hot (which I like) but tasted as if the heat was created by chilli powder. Also tasted as if the gravy was thickened by cornflour or flour. These were the overriding flavours. Very very disappointing. Heard good reviews of this restaurant so maybe I was unlucky. Been eating curries for a long time so perhaps been spoiled by the glory days of authentic beautiful tasting curries. Very sorry.

Really enjoyed the food. Everything was really tasty and delicious and the portions are generous. We had the tiffin for one plus some poppadums and there was still curry left over! Service was good we arrived early for our order and it was ready!

Seriously, the most amazing Indian food I have eaten in the UK! We ordered the chicken Tikka with rice and then the garam masala with naan. The portions were very generous and the food was really phenomenal. You immediately noticed that it was super fresh and had just been made. Felt like we were eating food directly in India. Cannot recommend The Tiffin Box enough to friends!! And the staff were SUPER sweet. I really hope they open up a restaurant in the near future! Thanks again for the most delicious Indian food!!!!!!

Wonderful Tandoori Wonderful staff As an Indian food eater since 4yrs old I believe I have a voice These guys do an amazing food experience Do not pass it buy if in N Berwick I'm in N Berwick for 1 week Had fish Had Italian also had to have a tiffin every night on top well done guys superb!!

This has to be one of the worst carry out curries I have had. The vegetable korma consisted of some large chunks of potato, some peas and one piece of cauliflower in a bland thin sauce! The nan wasn’t cooked in the middle and the tarka dhal had no flavour and the vegetable pakora were stodgy and undercooked. Lamb chops were good, chicken pakora and chicken chaat acceptable. So disappointing. Most of it went in the bin. Had so looked forward to trying out this new place but won’t be returning.

Ordered this evening when setting up camp at tantallon caravan park took a tad longer than expected with a baby in tow! Guy I spoke to was lovely, recommended how many portions would be required, even did one as a meal deal for us (I would have been unaware of this as Internet signal was just strong enough to get my the phone number). Was happy to deliver to the reception desk and called us on his approach so we could collect it. Food was roasting hot and very tasty, we only had the korma, pakora and a nann but it was lovely and fresh, loads of sauce and nice big chicken chunks! Thanks very much!!

Fabulous food, reasonably priced, excellent value for money. We had a meal for 6 and everyone really enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly and happy to share there thoughts on the menu. Would highly recommend.

We ordered a meal for two for delivery from The Tiffin Box this evening. It was absolutely delicious! The poppadums were melt-in-the-mouth and the garlic naan was a delicious flatbread which could be eaten entirely on its own as it was so tasty. The steamed rice was done perfectly and the yoghurt dip was packed with flavour and had chunks of crunchy cucumber in it. The curries were the best I’ve had in ages. The man we spoke to was really knowledgeable and recommended the right ones for us. They were not greasy at all, unlike many takeaway curries. I had a vegetarian one and, instead of being bulked up with chunks of potato, it had a lovely variety of vegetables. It was punctual and still hot when it arrived with us. We’ll definitely order again!

Good food cooked fresh to order, friendly staff

Went for a take away when on a family holiday and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. The food was lovely and would recommend.

First class service and food is first class

Really really yummy food! Quick delivery and great customer service x

Great quality food with large choice and reliable phone ordering system. Phone order and ready when they say order will be ready

Fantastic experience for your taste buds

Picked up a takeaway from the tiffin box. Fantastic flavours and love the menu concept. Starters were excellent, curry’s delightful, rice and nan both fresh and tasty. Hopefully be back soon, keep up the good work!

My son and I had our first carry out last week and the only thing it lacked was taste and flavour - sorry The Tiffin Box. Ordering over the phone, easy and courteous, face to face service, no complaints. Both curries only lacked flavour and spice however as this is a new business, I will be back, so c’mon guys work on the flavours

Ordered a Pakoda and other sides to go which came half baked and was disappointed with it, we were one stop customers so they did not bother much as well. Anyway

Highly recommend this amazing takeaway. Food is delicious, portions are huge, and the staff are super friendly. Lamb chops to die for. I am now a regular!

The food and the service are first class. One of the nicest take-aways we’ve had. Highly recommended.

Great to have a fab Indian Take a Way in North Berwick. Great addition. Cant fault the service at all from the placing of the order to collection fab service.

Excellent service and cuisine. A credit to North Berwick. Highly recommended

Waited over an hour. Very runny sauce, making the portion look huge but actually not much meat.

Our campsite gave us a menu for this Indian takeaway and it did not disappoint. We called in to place our order, staff were friendly and chatty, told a 20min wait for food so went for a drive and it was readywhen we returned. To start the portions are large, so large me and my husband have just had the lefts overs for lunch!! The garlic bread is enormous but also the best nan bread I’ve ever had and my husband agrees. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavour and was very enjoyable!

Really enjoyable food from a varied menu and good sized portions, very reasonably priced. I look forward to ordering another meal.

Wow .... what an amazing addition to the North Berwick high street. The telephone service was polite, friendly & professional. Our food arrived early and was piping hot, beautifully spiced and delicious! We couldn't believe the extremely generous portion sizes. Highly recommend a visit for authentic, tasty Indian cuisine.

First visit for me yesterday. The place is quite newly opened and I think they are still getting processes sorted out but don’t let that bother you. Excellent, freshly prepared food, reasonably priced, friendly, helpful staff... no downside for me, I’ll be back next week!

Excellent. Great food. Portions v generous.

Staying in North Berwick for the weekend and, due to limitations of places to eat in the evening due to a new baby, our Airbnb host recommended this place. We would stay in the accommodation again based on that recommendation alone. This place was absolutely fantastic. I'm normally a lax reviewer. I get home with the intention of doing it but tend to forget. With this place I had to.

The chicken tikka and tandoori chicken were both tasty and succulent. But accompanying curry sauce was so thin it turned my plate into rice soup when spooned over my meal. Huge portions of rice, but the smallest tub of spiced onions I've ever seen. £1.50 for 2 tablespoonfuls. Hopefully things will improve and I'll be able to give it a higher rating next time.

North Berwick is well overdue a take-away of this standard! Just ordered for the second time this month. And the staff are seriously friendly.

Food was fab and service was amazing. This is a breath of fresh air to North Berwick. If looking for a take away this is the place to go - Highly recommend!

Ok so let me start this review by saying that I am in my 60s and have eaten thousands of Indian meals all over the world but mainly in the U.K.

Love this place food is out of this world so nice our favourite takeaway place we get at least 2 a week and are never disappointed actually they get better every time we get one.need to try you won’t be disappointed

Better late than never :) Was waiting for ages for this place to open! My first order was over my expectations - huge portions, fresh and super tasty food! Would definitely recommend! Will be ordering again!
