The best restaurants in Galashiels and District Scottish Borders Lowlands

We chanced apon the coffee tree this afternoon and had a really nice lunch here. The lady who served us was so warm, helpful and friendly and was so kind to my 2 year old. The food was really yummy and beautifully presented and the overall atmosphere was super cozy on a rather cold damp day!

The best breakfast roll in Galashiels! Friendly warm space and amazing food and coffee ! Definitely worth a visit ! Support local businesses

Great service, very friendly people and amazing food, décor is really nice as well 💚 family friendly and there's tables outside 👏🏻

I have been there a few times with my friends. Good food and good price. I love Ramen there it's the best.

Best wee local pub. Great pool table and friendly staff, local family owned and run. Often a free buffet supplied and always great grub.

If your looking for an amazing Indian restaurant with great food , staff and prices, look no further !! We come from Dalkeith all the way here as its the best by far!! The food is amazing and the staff can't do enough for you . We were here tonight and met new staff member Jay who is an absolute gem !! Can't wait to come back again ! Thank you sooo much to all the Gala tandoori staff who never fail to impress !!!5*❤️❤️

Enjoyed the Service and Food , best Indian cuisine restaurant in the scottish borders.

Lovely food picked up tonight and enjoyed so much, will definitely be returning, also found out delivery is available too which is always convenient, staff were very pleasant and food was very reasonably priced, top draw all round 👍

I can only talk about the quality of the food and the taste experience of the food. Such a disappointment. Bland, non discript curries that were really poor and underwhelming, and expensive for the end product. I want to support local businesses but I cannot recommend this place for takeaway curries. IMO there's no excuse for under flavoured, under seasoned and under spiced curries.

My friends and I were starving post 9:30pm and found this place open. We tried their kebabs and wraps and it was so good. Definitely recommend the shish wrap (the portions are HUGE). Thank you for giving us free fries and the water your kindness was everything for us ladies that day 🤍😭

Food and service excellent but despite booking over the phone through messenger, our table had not been reserved and it wasn't possible to speak to a person directly over the phone at The Salmon Inn.

Ordered only at 1632 and food was not ready to collect until 1730 despite being told it would be 30mins when ordering. I was marked as order number 2 on my receipt but takeaway orders left before I got my order (which included pizza boxes) so it looks as if they prioritise takeaway over those waiting. The first order was also a lady waiting that had quite a wait as well. Waiting area is cool temperature and there is no background music or TV to help pass the time. No staff manning the counter either for you to ask what’s taking so long for the food to come. They did apologise for the delay but nearly an hour wait is very excessive these days, especially at this time on a Tuesday. The food we ordered was nice. However, with the kids meal they advertise that the kids get a juice (we selected apple) and a free cookie. We received neither of these with our order. We did receive a free cheesy-chips. Parking is very limited on street although there is a council carpark around a 7min walk away.

Brilliant service. The prawns are amazing!!

Had been looking forward to my visit made specifically to try this place out. Noone else in except the numerous staff all talking away happily to each other. After looking at menu which looked fabulous I went up to order as none of staff looked vaguely interested in taking my order. No sit down we will come to you. I sat and waited and the place started to fill. 3 other tables came in and someone came from behind the counter to clear dirty dishes that had been on a table when I went in. Finally someone came to serve me and I commented on my wait to which I was given a story about the coffee machine not working which was why staff were chatting. Hmmmmn really. Then as of course luck would have it they were out of the very thing I was there to have. I will give them another chance another day as the menu was interesting but the service was shockingly bad especially if they then are having to tell people no coffee! Zero recognition of interaction with customers and I speak as someone with a long hospitality career. Great location great menu but lacking in customer connection.

Lovely find on our 1st visit to Stow came over the hills from Lauder and fancied a coffee and cheese scone - was not disappointed - great wee cafe with plenty choice - prices good too and lovely atmosphere and very nice lady served us - thank you so much we will be back
