  “First time in this restaurant, was very impressed by the service, quality and portions size of the food, and the value for money was amazing, had read a few of the reviews on their website which I don’t usually go by as some people are more critical about the type of decor or the tables and chairs? You’re not licking the tiles on the walls or the tables and chairs! It’s the food that is the most important part of the visit! Will definitely be back soon and recommend it to friends and family to try it out , superb 👌 And for what it’s worth the decor is very nice, authentic and very clean 👍”

  “Coming from London we were craving Indian food and didn’t have too many expectations, but honestly the food blew our mind! The service was very friendly and we were recommended just the right food to suit our pallets. Would absolutely come back when passing through Scotland!”

  “myself and a friend visited here as it was the closest. I live in the Midlands so know a good curry. I had the mixed tandoori grill and found it average. We were the only 2 people in there.”

  “Excellent food. Our family is vegan and they helpfully and easily accommodated us. You can even get plain naan which is vegan and delicious! We got aloo gobi, chana masala, and mixed vegetables and all were great.”

  “Came here for dinner after doing The Cobbler and Bein Ime, I also noted that it was given just over 4/5 stars so expected good things from this place. The decor inside was of typical India themed restaurant, it was a little on the dark side. Could probably do with a redo especially when you see the restaurant from outside. White building with a nice sharp shop sign. Entered the place and was welcomed by staff who promptly seated us. The smell of the spices was amazing I must add. We ordered Kingfisher beer though nice could really be chilled a further 1-2 degrees cooler. We were given complimentary popadoms with spicy onions. Loved that-cant go wrong with those. Starters were mix pakora which consisted of chicken, veg and fish, so got the fish replaced with mushroom pakora. The pakora was nice and dips just as nice. But the batter was a little heavy like what you would get from a takeaway after a night out, sort of expected lighter being a restaurant. Had chilli garlic chicken and Balti Chicken with some rice and naan bread. Both were nice in their own rights, now admittedly I haven’t had a Balti chicken for a while but was a very mild meal no heat at all. But I can say I could taste all the spices used in cooking this nice meal. The Chilli Garlic was a little disappointed, it was NICE but lacked that nice accumulating heat build up you normally get. Even ate a chilli and that tasted mild. One thing I noticed was that the chicken in both meals tasted slightly over salted. My friend commented that you would need to be a basketball player to use the urinal….lol but he is 5’3 ish. I do agree with him though, toilet really let the place down I got to add. In general the place deserved a solid 3 star. My mate also agreed the place deserved a 3, would had given it a 4 let down by chicken beer and the toilet. It’s NICE. Would I go back yes maybe but only if its the only place in Dumbarton.”

  “Poor is the only way to describe this place. first off we didn't even know if it was open from the outside, once inside it was dark, dingy and well in need of decoration. The one woman who working to the restaurant was sat down and spent more time talking on her phone than bothering with us. When she did come over to us she was miserable and a terrible waitress. There were two others guest when we got there but after five minutes they left leaving us on our own. No atmosphere and a very uninviting experience. To top it off I ask for a pint of Cobra which they have on tap and got a more expensive bottle in stead and told that the pump was out. Next the food came out and both of our Naans or Nan as they call it on the menu came out on top of each other on one plate that wasn't big enough to hold one properly!. The only plus I can give this place hence the two Stars was that the dishes were OK not amazing but OK and the dinning area looked to be clean to the eye. Check my reviews and you'll see that I eat in many curry houses all over the UK and this has to be rated as one of the worse is been in.”

  “The proprietor was pleasant and the dining room spotlessly clean. It’s beautifully decorated with furniture from India. The menu was North Indian. I wanted so many things, but finally decided on paneer tikka masala. A papadum with homemade chutnies appeared and were delicious. The meal was correctly spiced and marvelous. The food was as beautifully presented as it was delicious. The service was superb. As I am on holiday, I won’t have the opportunity to return, but I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. It was a fine dining experience.”

  “Food was excellent, decor was lovely. I don't understand why it was so empty. Maybe it was just the lovely day and hot weather keeping people away. We will be back here as the food is up there with the best”
