Tulsi in Fife

We visited Tulsi on Saturday 19th with friends who were first time visitors to the restaurant.Once again Hossain and his team gave service of the highest quality. Friendly, knowledgeable and well paced. The food itself is freshly prepared and it really shows. The quality and generous portions give fantastic value and flavour Genuine Indian food at its best

We were invited to this amazing restaurant by our friends Ally and Helen . The atmosphere, food and service were absolutely amazing. It’s one of the best Indian meals we have ever tasted , this is our new new place to visit in St Andrews 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Our first visit to Tulsi was by chance and most definitely we were not disappointed. Initially the restaurant was very quiet but later it filled up with visiting golfers and patrons in search of takeaways. We selected two Indian meals and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Staff were attentive and friendly. I am sure we shall be back.

Food was very good. Would order again.

Very enjoyable Indian style food in Saint Andrews. An expansive host who did his best to ensure we (and everyone else) was enjoying their meal. The food was good and well presented. Happy to recommend

Here are my thoughts on what I had: Poppadoms - Decent taste and flavour. Lamb Rezala - My favourite dish. Packed full of flavour and texture. Chicken Karahi - Also enjoyed this. Chicken Balti - My least favourite but still a reasonable standard. Overall, the waiting team were attentive, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was decent. If you are in St Andrews it's worth checking this place out.

Marvellous main dishes GREEN CHILLIS WITH THE ICE CREAM SPECIAL ORDER

Service not good food very bland charged for food that we ordered but didn’t get. Couldn’t wait to get out of the place

No delivery fee advertised and then when the food was almost here the delivery driver phoned and said ‘we forgot to add the delivery charge, it’s normally £12 but I’ll just charge you £10’. I feel this should be advertised as £12 delivery fee is very steep. Food wasn’t particularly nice either, most of it went in the bin.

Delicious garlic naan! First time trying the Haggis Pakora, great fusion.

Absolutely delicious Thai food and wonderful customer service from the team at Tulsi .Definitely will be back !!

Took them 90 mins to serve three entrees and waiters had an attitude

We noticed the sign outside for Indian and Thai food, 3 courses for £8.95, so went into the nice, clean-looking restaurant. We both decided on Indian food and I ordered potato fritters (which came with a really lovely dip), vegetable bhuna with naan, and ice cream. My husband had pakora, chicken madras and Ice cream. Everything was really excellent and plenty of it. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food arrived quickly. We didn't need any dinner in the evening. Can't wait to go back.

All four meals excellent . Will recommend

Delicious food. Ready to collect on time. Very happy customer :-)

My buddy and I visited Hassan and his team for dinner. Opened after a break for refreshments the restaurant is beautifully laid out bright and airy Food is simply as good as Indian food gets Service is fantastic and value first class I’ll DEFINITELY be back

Estimated time was 21.40-21.00. showed as delivered on just eat so called restaurant at 21.10 to check where it was and they said delivery driver was on his way. Driver couldn't find house (quite difficult as holiday cottage) but found us after call

Just visited this restaurant after it has recently reopened. I opted for the Thai dishes and had the Lamb Massaman and garlic and ginger chicken. Both dishes made fresh and were very tasty. Was served by Hasan and is service was excellent. Please give this restaurant a visit

Fantastic food, and service. Everything just as it was before it closed 2 years ago. It is really amazing to see it back open again, same happy and friendly waiting staff, always eager to take your order Really cannot fault any part of the meal or service Would definitely recommend

We ordered a takeaway for 9 people and picked it up. After spending a good amount of money you usually get some poppadoms or something added however this isn't a service Tulsi provides. Which is fine but it's nice to get something like that when you spend so much. The food was great, although portion sizes were small. I ordered the chill masala which was spicy, the way I like it. The fried rice contains a lot of veg so recommend the boiled rice. Nan bread was terrific.

We were served by a very rude man in the restaurant, the most obnoxious behaviour by a waiter we have ever seen. Would not recommend to anyone. Please avoid this place.

Absolutely appalling service. Was taken out order by very aggressive waiters. Have no hospitality. Would not recommend. 0/10 experience.

Great to get back to the attentive service and superb cooking at Tulsi. The lamb chops are a must and the lagers are long and cold.

Best Indian food I've had in St. Andrews.....ready for collection on time, piping hot, everything ordered was in bags (including some complimentary sauces/dips/salads/poppadoms) and it was DELICIOUS 😋

Food delicious staff very helpful best Indian cuisine on the east coast of scotland

Food was delicious, however the delivery driver tried to tell us that there was a mistake with the delivery charge of £4 and said that we should have paid £8. I absolutely would not pay £8 to have it delivered when we live so close and feel like he was trying to get us to give him more money.

Hassan and his team are a real family who always bring the most exceptional service. Other places in town (Maisha and Jhangir) do not even come close to the quality, service or experience. As a former St Andrews student, I would visit all of the above and Tulsi always stood head and shoulders above the rest. I've hosted large dinners of 50+ and intimate dinners with just 1 other person. Tulsi has always exceeded expectations. Very sorry to hear of the recent fire and saddened not to enjoy another meal when recently visiting. Look forward to dining there again soon!

My order- which at the time of writing this was placed at 6:00pm- has still yet to show. I phoned 3 times to get some clarity on when my food would be showing up. I was told it had already been delivered. It quite clearly hasn't. And when I phoned again to chase the food once more they would not let me voice my concerns. St. Andrews is a small town and they have delivered to me in the past. I do not believe that the driver got lost.

Absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend

Overpriced meals but tablecloths and napkin looking good. Attentive service but food can be tricky. My point was rice with dried up vegetables ( like from the express packet) and squid which was first deep fried in batter then cooked in peanut sauce. Awful combination and again looked as if was from pre-prepared frozen stock which I don’t expect from that kind of restaurant. It was empty when other places were very busy- that should have sparked the warning.

Great night great food and great service .Fez you were so funny and took care of us all evening . Wee gem in the heart of St Andrews.

The service was slow, the waiters weren't particularly friendly, the food was overly spicy for the people who ordered medium spicy foods, despite the fact they had previously enjoyed meals from there. The naan bread was still dough in places where it hadn't been cooked properly. They ran out of coke and Cobra beer. I won't be going back.

Attracted by the many TripAdvisor reviews we decided to give it a try but really I wished I hadn't bothered when I saw the pakoras: Clearly not freshly made, cold and dry. They didn't taste nice at all, especially the chicken ones. The main marginally better. Waste of what could have been a good evening.

Worst curry We’ve ever had-inedible. Ordered spiced onions to start which had obviously been made in 1998 then sat in the fridge since. Pakora undercooked. Both curries we had ordered were clearly not fresh, and looked as if they had been sitting for a long time,with a layer of oil on top the butter chicken. Only positive was the garlic naan,which actually tasted like it was fresh out the oven.. If you want a good curry experience,head to glasgow

First order from Tulsi, Thai menu was excellent, delivery spot on, would certainly recommend, and definitely use again

Excellent food as always from Tulsi. More than acceptable delivery time and as estimated at time of ordering. My order was for 5 people it would have been most helpful if the items had been labelled. Packing into the carrier bags and or transport cold have been a little more considerate, minor spillage was encountered, however would this prevent me from ordering again most definitely not. Overall outstanding meal, Thanks

Great meal, great atmosphere and outstanding service. We had one minor complaint about the food which was immediately noticed and addressed in a most professional way. This is a great restaurant/business.

Great food. Very easy to order on-line. Delivered on time.

Paid delivery on the app then was called to say it would actually cost double even though my address was accurately input.

First Tulsi takeaway, won't be my last. Highly impressed with the ease of online ordering and speed of it being ready for collection from a lovely member of staff. Food was plentiful and absolutely delicious 🌟

soups are good portion too small for the stir fried noodles is not worth with this price

Could have been hotter but very good.

Had a really good meal back in July here sitting in. Exhausted by travel, we got a takeaway tonight. 2 for Indian, 2 for Thai. My beef (if it was beef) was totally tasteless and I ate only a couple of pieces before binning. My son's chicken teriyaki was dry and virtually inedible. The guys who got the Indian food were happy as it was uniformly tasty. Advice... Drop the Thai. We're unlikely to be back but think you're taking on too much. Oh... And we had to wait 1hr20mins for it. 15mins after the latest just eat told us it would be 😭😭

Driver was polite and very professional. Would use again.

Food was great, waiting time was 45 mins after the time given by Just Eat. Collection was pretty chaotic

The driver didn't call when they arrived to let me know the food was here, despite me asking them to(on the app). The just eat app didn't update except from they have 'accepted your order' to 'enjoy your food', the restaurant didn't call back after I phoned and asked where the food was? The food was tasty(ish) but nearly cold. Generally a 1/2 star performance all around. Shame as I'd rather not pay full price for bad service and cold food.

Very disappointed have ate in the restaurant many times and had takeaways from it and always had good food and service but tonight wow I will not go back. Was over an hour late (from the back end of time slot) so I phoned to check and they said they’d phone me back, 10 minutes later nothing heard back so I call again they ignored that I’d phoned previously and said it would be no more than 15 minutes they were very busy. 20 minutes later I phoned again had to explain for third time and she told me it was on my way and to call the taxi service who delivering it. No apologies or how they could make it better. When eventually arrived OVER AN HOUR late some Food was missing and was all cold/luke warm. Garlic and cheese naan was tasteless. Prawn Pasanda was like a watery slop. However we ate as was starving and assumed they would be no help on phone and we were starving. Absolutely gutted as was an £80 order as we had friends over we haven’t seen for a while. Will not be back. And hopefully receive a refund from Just eat.

Superb food and service. I’ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The curries are very well made and truly authentic. The best naan bread I’ve ever had. Service is professional and attentive. Everyone in our party thought it was first class. Best food we’ve eaten this week by a mile!

Delicious food, fantastic customer service, all the staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for us.

This had been recommended to us and didn't disappoint. We ordered haggis pakora and garlic king prawns as starters to which I was informed quickly that the king prawns were off the menu so changed to tandoori chicken wings (chicken chatt). For the mains we ordered the lamb massaman thai curry with udon noodle and Jhalapani (also lamb) with pilau rice. All the food was delicious and the portions size spot on. Over the two courses we had three spirits with mixers each so when the bill came we were shocked that it was a lot less than we expected. The staff couldn't have more helpful and considering how busy the restaurant was we could forgive the time we waited between courses as our only gripe. In all great value, nice venue, nice staff and good food

Outstanding Indian food in St Andrews with excellent and attentive service.

Simply this is a very good indian restaurant in the cradle of golf and university boffins.We were staying in town 2 nights.On first night we were on a dinner search walkabout and chanced on this venue on Market Street. The food is delicious. I had Tandoori lamb tikka with all the trimmings, rice and Roti. My friend had Tandoori chicken off the bone and her husband whose not a spicy food fan had delicious fish and chips.I asked for an accompanying Patia sauce which i find compliments the lamb which was cooked to tender perfection This was one of my top lamb dish experiences ever in a lifetime of chasing good indian food. The restaurant has unique decoration being adorned in famous movie posters but in indian language. The staff were,friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. I thoroughly recommend a visit here if you are in town and fancy a delicious curry. Portions are huge, we had a lot of dishes including pakoras, poppadums, onion chutney and Roti bread. Our bill for 3 persons was £78. Worth it for the quality on offer.

Popped in on the off chance. Got a table no problem.other half had king prawn red curryy I had chicken jalfrazi with mushroom pilau and a to die for chilli and garlic naan. Both meals piping hot and really tasty. Staff very friendly chuffed to bits that they weren't coming over every 5 mins asking if I'm OK. (which I hate) believe me if it's not OK you'll know. Can't recommend this place enough. May go back tomorrow to try something else

Amazing Indian food, one of the best naan breads I’ve ever had. Very good lamb curry as advised by the waiter and great sizzling beef.

Ate here last night, the restaurant was very busy. We decided to order off the thai menu. The starters were ok not much taste but my husbands main was amazing beef/prawn sizzler, I had the prawn teriyaki noodles which was also good. We ordered Irish/baileys coffee these were also great. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. Will Definitely be back but will try the Indian menu which most were having.

Great food, friendly service but very slow service. The menus are good and comprehensive and the wine list is good (for bottles) but we don’t like Shiraz and that was the only red by the glass. So we ordered a really good bottle of Merlot. The restaurant was full and servers were trying but we waited 30 minutes to place the order and a further 40 minutes for starters to arrive. They were however delicious and huge portions! We had to ask for for the completed plates to be removed then wait 40 minutes again for the mains to arrive. Again delicious and huge portions. The mix of Indian and Thai was very special. We asked for the completed plates to be removed and the bill. We would have ordered desserts and then coffees but the waiting would have finally driven us insane 🤷‍♂️ The bill arrived after 15 minutes and we paid and left.

Lovely food , friendly staff.. food ready on time

After travelling for 4 hours after a full day servicing I used the “previously” trusted just eat app, (used many,many times since being a key worker and having to stay away during covid) anyway, I didn’t get a txt near delivery time, I gave them a little longer as they could be busy. I called and got someone who said quite rudely it had been delivered (I always get a text! No text) he said he would call back straight away. After 30mins he did, basically receiving my meal 2 hours after it was due. Mark’s out of 10? Zero. The food was alright but I should have been tucked up in bed by then, not eating food and annoyed. It annoyed me as much him saying that I had the food again and I find that baffling as I always say call me and I will meet oust side reception, so even if they delivered somewhere why no call…

Service far to slow over 1hr 30 min from ordering to getting main course which is ridiculous been here 4 times this is the last time

Great food and service - very enjoyable.

Lovely food, would highly recommend.

Visited this restaurant as a couple and ordered from the lunch menu. Veg tikka massala was lovely. Mild and creamy. The chicken bhuna was spicy and flavourful. Onion Bhakti and veg pakora starters were lovely and light but the star of the show was the...

Excellent food, delivered. Was a bit surprised to be asked for an extra £6 with delivery though that wasn’t mentioned through the app. The taxi driver said this was because it was out of town, I’m in Guardbridge.

Another fabulous meal from Tulsi

Food is always excellent, some of my favourite in the area. Let down by lateness of the delivery on more than one occasion

Ordered our starters which all came,except mine...Great start then on comes the mains and yes again issue with my 22 buks main course had to wait.more than ten mims for.the sauce to go with my chicken meal and.had to send rice back as it was cold...not good at all poor service.go somewhere else.

Amazing Indian! Staff were lovely and the food was top notch not to pricey either. Also have some cool old movie frames on the wall. Definitely worth a visit.

Attentive staff, very reasonably priced, tasty lunch. Half a lager very over-priced, but overall good value.

Great food and surprisingly large portions which we sadly couldn’t finish and the biggest naans we had ever seen! Had the haggis pakora to start and got three of them which left little room for the main.

Excellent food - quality ingredients and extremely tasty. Delivered fresh and piping hot. Will order again.

Slow service and disappointing food, I ordered a Thai fish starter which was supposed to be marinated seabass, but instead got a fried piece of white fish with a dish of disgusting sauce obviously not made on the premises. I will never go back there.

Very enjoyable Indian meal at Tulsi during a golf break. Good menu, service & ambience. Highly recommend.

Delicious food and excellent service

Fabulous meal and great service.

My husband and I hadn't booked a restaurant for a Saturday evening in St. Andrews, so took a chance with this restaurant. They were very busy, but asked us to wait for 10 minutes for a table. The food was really enjoyable, and the service,...

We went in here as it looked nice. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely and the best we have had I. A long time. We would definitely come back.

A very nice restaurant and very good service, great quality of fusion food, lots of vegetarian dishes and a good section of drinks, would return again.

A thoroughly good meal with great food and good service. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area

Went here for evening meal An over long menu with both Indian and Thai food should have rung an alarm bell Anyway by that stage we were sat down and decided to stay and run the gauntlet We had so called Thai food which was...

Had a take away from here tonight. Greeted by friendly efficient staff. Went back to collect order - was ready on time. Had haggis pakoras - lovely! Then Chicken Korma & Sweet & Sour Chicken Curry with coconut rice & a huge pashwari Nan! All...

We had booked here on a bank holiday and, despite the fact that they were really busy, we still had a wonderful meal. You can choose between Indian dishes and Thai dishes. We decided to mix and match between the two and it was all...

Arrived late but staff were very accommodating and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend special tikka kebab and naan breads.

Food was lovely and the service was very quick.

i have dined here for 4 years ! I was a very loyal customer during my time at University of St Andrews. Excellent food and the best service in town. i would highly recommend Tulsi to anyone looking for indian or thai cuisine. Kudos to Mr Hasan and the team for maintaining a very high standard of food & service consistently !

Great family run restaurant. Friendly staff and most importantly really tasty food. Love the meat samosas (literally could eat 6 just for a snack. Crunchy outside and juicy inside. Other favs are the lamb rogan josh, tikka masala and the garlic naans are like super.

Paid £4 for delivery on ordering, to be told we had to pay another £4 by the delivery driver. Expecting customers to just accept £8 delivery charge for 2 miles down the road, without warning, is abysmal! Delivery driver was lovely though and felt awful at having to ask for the extra money.

Thoroughly enjoyed this return visit, our first eating out experience in months. Staff very attentive and menu wide and varied. Spoilt for choice! Great portion size. Worth giving this restaurant a try if you are in town

Worst cooking, received butter chicken with grated coconut, that’s very bad!!!

Expensive delivery price paid delivery charge to restaurant and then was asked to pay the same again to a taxi. The delivery charge in total was half the food price! Food was cold and lamb and sheesh was a tough as boots. Not recommended

Unfortunately was cold and a bit greasy. Usually too quality

Delicious food and prompt delivery, no complaints. Would thoroughly recommend.

I've become a regular and the food from Tulsi is a delicious treat.

Absolutely fantastic meal, really good quality food, well prepared and presented, ready for collection on time from great staff.

Ordered 2 completely different dishes (Bhuna and Karachi) but they were done in the same sauce base!!!! Was very disappointed.

Delicious food ..will definitely order from them again

Excellent Curry! ordered the Punjabi Masala - great flavour and portion size. Food also arrived hot and on time.

I regret having to write this review as on many previous experiences this restaurant has been nothing but good in both hospitality and quality, but this one instance has brought all future visits from me to an end. I attended here with a friend the other night and we normally order a light meal, this has never been an issue as there is no minimum order specified on the menu, but this time the person serving us took massive issue with it. This gentleman informed us loudly in front of other attendees that Tulsi was "not a takeaway" - never mind the fact that during our entire meal another staff member could be heard on the phone loudly dealing with takeaway orders. We ended up ordering a slightly more substantial meal because of this interaction. I have longstanding issues with food due to acid reflux, medication and chronic illnesses. As a result of this I am not always able to eat a large quantity of food, I should not have to divulge this nor my eating habits to a staff member in order to not be shamed. I was sick twice in the bathroom because of how the previous interaction affected me - along with the fact that I am sensitive to MSG and the rice tasted like it was laced with the stuff, there was no mention of this on the menu. Near the end of our meal a bill was abruptly handed to us, we had not requested it but the fact that this happened mad it very clear to us that they no longer wanted us in the restaurant and were unwilling to wait until we had finished eating. Other issues I would like to raise are the cleanliness of the plates and table cover. My friend brought it to the server’s attention that his plate was dirty, to fix this situation the server took my plate and gave it to my friend which in turn left me without a plate the entire meal. My friend and I had left, but shortly after this my friend went back to let the staff know what had gone on. They simply responsed that I should have informed them of my eating habits during the order, not like that would have solved the rudeness brought about by the staff during this ordeal. In conclusion, do not attend this establishment if you have any conditions or food habits which may open you to being different to their normal customers, they will not be best pleased and will shame you for it. My rating is only two stars, this is in part due to the friendliness of the elderly gentleman which took down our details and the previous experiences here.

A very delicious meal and friendly staff.

Great food, great people, great service and the best Indian food in St Andrews. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Staff friendly, service ok, but the food is average and quite expensive. Popadoms and a spice tray worked out quite expensive and one starter order of the spicy king prawns resulted in two large prawns for £5.95 - was a bit stunned. The other starters were of a reasonable portion, mains were ok but nothing special and felt for the price we’d have expected something more. Overall, we wouldn’t be hurrying back.
