The best restaurants in Elgin City North Moray Highlands and Islands

Served for the second time by a great people person called Ian, he cheered up our day, he’s pleasant and jovial.

Burger was good , chips were warm , didn’t have salt n vinegar on them , coleslaw was a bit tasteless

I asked for my table to be cleaned when I placed my food order. When my food came the waiter said he'd get someone over to clean the table. I ate my meal, finished my drink, went upstairs to the toilet and it still hadn't been cleaned when I left! It was sticky from glass marks and there was also a couple of dollops of mayo from the previous customers. The food was quite tasty and passable but there were no condiments on the table and no-one came to ask if everything was OK or if I needed anything. Not impressed.

Was away for a week and really was looking forward to a nice Chinese takeaway. Sadly it was not upto the standard i expected. I had beef in cashew nuts, the beef tasted rancid (my husband and son thought the same). The chicken in cashew nuts was foul (not just fowl). The egg fried rice was bland and tasteless. My son’s crispy chicken made him feel sick. Really not good.

Saturday 2nd of November, they decided to shut the restaurant, no head up or anything. Just no meals, only refreshments. Fast forward two weeks. After a 4 hour drive on the Friday, I arrived at 7.05pm. Reception said restaurant were serving until 8.30 and I was OK just to pop over and get a table. So I done that. No tables for the rest of the night. Only the tables near the bar were being used. Rest of the place was empty. Saturday seemed to go without a hitch. Sunday morning, apparently the chef pulled a sickie so there was no hot food other than what you could put through the toaster! The big lad that's in the restaurant is brand new as are some of the other FOH staff but this place need to sort the BOH staff out pronto. Also just a little tip for the servers, from someone who was in hospitality for 18 years, when someone walks in the door and stands waiting to be attended to, give them an acknowledgement. Don't just leave them standing like a spare tw4t.

Went for lunch today, April 12th, with family and had the best scone I’ve ever had - it was a strawberry and white choc one and it was absolutely phenomenal. Would highly recommend!

Been going to CJ’s for approx 10 years, but enough is enough. This use to be one of the best chippies in Elgin by far, but whether its under different management or it’s just a lack of effort, it’s totally gone downhill. Our last 2 fish suppers were dry and fish was very thin. You use to get quick a plump flaky haddock, but clearly not anymore. The batter was overcooked, it use to have a nice crunchy, moist texture, but this was more like a deep fried brandy basket. And as for the chips. Boke. Nothing fresh about them. Not be going back. Id rather spend another £5-10 for something more upmarket, knowing that I wont have that feeling of just being robbed. Sorry CJ’s but this is on you. And not as much as a smile or a thankyou when you leave.

Very nice Indian restaurant with good service and very good food

Used to be really great, but very disappointed in the food and atmosphere on last visit.

Everything was burnt or tasteless. Shocking. Don’t recommend

I like the people called humans that work there

The opening hours have changed but there was no indication on the entrance of this even the website had not been updated. Get a grip or lose customers.
