The best restaurants serving Indian food in Fort William and Ardnamurchan Highland Highlands and Islands

I had to rate it one star because going minus isn’t possible. My order was full of uncooked chicken and a pube (yes disgusting I know!) in my rice.

We visited Café Mango in Fort William, and it was a complete disappointment. The restaurant was freezing—I had to keep my jacket on just to stay warm. Not exactly the cosy atmosphere you'd expect. They don’t serve alcohol, which is fine, but if you bring your own, they charge £3.50 per person just to drink it. Pretty steep for simply providing a glass. The food was basic and seriously overpriced. The chicken was rock hard—I could hear the microwave pinging in the kitchen, so it was clearly reheated. The worst part? £5 for just THREE tiny pieces of veg pakora—what a rip-off. The total bill came to £47 for: A korma Tarka daal One rice One chapatti One small naan Three tiny pieces of veg pakora Two half-pint glasses of Coke Zero For that price, I expected something fresh and decent, but instead, I got microwaved food and laughably small portions. The place was completely empty, and now I know why. Never again.

The service was fine, no complaints. There weren’t many people in the restaurant and that should Have been a clue but we were hungry and wanted a takeaway. There is no separate takeaway menu so picked off the restaurant menu. I expected the prices to be different for takeaway but the server charged full sit in prices! We had the chicken pakora (6 small overcooked pieces), plain naan and peshwari naan (both delicious), boiled rice, popadoms (tasty), chicken tikka pasanda (tasted delicious but portion was tiny 10 small pieces of chicken and 3/4 full sauce) and tikka masala (same as the pasanda but sauce was watery ). At home (we are tourists) we get this meal and it costs £32 and could comfortably feed 4 with leftovers from my husband the following day. Here it was £52 and we struggled to feed 2 adults and 2 children. Very disappointing! Over priced!! I guess they get away with it as visitors only need to visit once! Hopefully people read the reviews purchasing…unlike me!!
