The best restaurants in South West Scotland

Ordered Tandoori Chicken, got chip shop fried chicken with absolutely no spicing. Sauce had a strange after taste and was very greasy. Wanted boiled rice, they only do fried. Tried to support local food, but not going back for this. Pretty awful.

After years of custom, we’re never using oriental palace again I phoned for delivery and woman didn’t give approx delivery time which she should have done. Turns out she’s also the delivery driver. Phoned again one hour later to be told by her they hadn't even started cooking it yet and driving conditions were bad. We’re a 2 min drive away and it wasn’t blowing a tornado, just very windy. Other restaurants were delivering to our street OK. Did I want to cancel? They obviously don’t have to worry about making money. I said no as I figured I’d waited that long, I might as well wait a bit more. After 40 minutes I was courteous enough to call to let them know I wanted to cancel (I’d phoned Happy Panda who cooked and delivered within 20 mins and WERE £7 CHEAPER!), The same woman answered and she was shockingly rude and condescending. Her unprofessional, couldn’t care less attitude (weather excuse repeatedly given) was totally unacceptable and will cost this restaurant business. New owners should take note as there are plenty of other places available. We’ll be using the Happy Panda in future as great service and very friendly.

Not good Indian food... Stale, reheated, dry, not authentic. Taste not good, horrible to be honest. Hygiene standards questionable- Salad beside raw meat displayed for all to see. Customer service poor. The staff seem unhappy and maybe given up. I wouldn't recommend getting food here.

A great wee place for lunch. Fantastic food and service, highly recommend. Love that it’s byob. The cakes were amazing!

Absoloutely Either Great Or PoorNo Consistancy In MealsIve Had Lovely Food AlotAnd Below Par The Same AveragesFood Can Be Bland/TastelessCurries Decent Customer Service When Ordering TerribleWill Put Phone Down To Serve Someone In Shop.Will Still Use Them,Although Only If Really Desperate.

No rolls left at half 12 not the first time eeither a joke think they maybee just couldn't be bothered as it happens regularly

Not a huge selection of buffet but what was there was fresh delicious and well presented only concern is the place doesn't look the cleanest

Primera vez visitando el Kraken en el pueblo East Kilbride Extremadamente pobre. Las cenas de pescado fueron de las peores que he tenido. Rebozado empapado con bacalao soso e insípido. Las papas fritas eran horribles, empapadas e insípidas Mucho mejores tiendas de chips en la zona. Un error costoso

Went in for a bottle of tonic and the luvly and polite ginger haired lady behind the counter couldn’t be any more helpful. Great customer service

Bought a foot long ham with cheese and salad never got the lettuce it looked like it was on its last legs. The problem I have is the bread was solid on the inside (STALE) it would have knocked someone out

Bubble tea cookie dough was so good friendly staff and really helpful definitely recommend going And very quick Service

Freshly prepared food with great staff would recommend to be honest I wasn't expecting it to be so good as fast food rarely is but was really impressed will be back

My wife is dairy intolerant but not Vegan and she unfortunately is no longer welcome to purchase her preferred order here. She has been ordering a vegan pizza (because of the Dairy Free cheese) with regular pepperoni for the past 6 months at this restaurant, as recently as about a month ago, however now they have now told her that if she has vegan pizza she must also have vegan pepperoni because, according to the lady on the phone, it's company policy and they don't want to get into trouble. It's a shame that in this day and age under the guise of 'inclusivity' people are still discrimated against for conditions outside of their control.

Ordered tonight for the first time. Won't use again. Hubby binned his donuts, don't know what ice cream they sent him as it was not old school caramel. they we hard and cold. My daughter and I ordered crepes which were freezing without ice cream. Apparently you need to order your ice cream separately, although you get an option for either vanilla or chocolate!!! The worst £ 17 something I have ever spent..

Avoid - other cafes are available! Whole place is dirty, choice of tea or nothing from a decade old, unwashed tea pot, best give it a miss.
