Quick info
About MELDRUM KITCHEN
Meldrum Kitchen is a Chinese and Thai takeaway restaurant at Aird House in Inverurie. Its menu runs to 75 dishes, so a single order can draw on both cuisines without going to a second business. Starters include Sesame Prawn Toast and Spring Rolls, and the Salt Pepper Platter appears among the platter options. Because the list covers Chinese and Thai cooking together, people with different tastes can still order from one menu. The kitchen works as a takeaway, so everything on that list is prepared to be taken away.

Customer Review Summary
Praise centers on the red curry chicken with fruit, which one reviewer calls creamy, with the steamed fish also singled out. Others describe food that arrives hot, fresh and quick, in generous portions, with friendly staff and an efficient kitchen. One carryout order came in plastic boxes, nicely cooked and tasty, with a shorter wait than expected. Complaints are more numerous and just as specific. Several reviewers report food that arrived cold or lukewarm, including a platter that was stone cold and inedible even after reheating, following a wait far longer than quoted. Others describe ribs that were hard with no meat, chewy and fatty chicken and beef in the special curry, chicken nuggets like fried rubbers, and a noodle dish short on bean sprouts and onion. One reviewer reports uncovered food by the door and clutter behind the till, and another says a delivery order arrived wrong twice in a single week.

“On our way home to Inverurie we decided to purchase a carryout meal. We were welcomed by a very pleasant assistant who took our order. She appeared to already have, and was taking more telephone orders. Customers were also collecting their orders. We expected to have a long wait. We didn't have to wait long at all. The two carry out meals were nicely presented in plastic boxes with lids. The meals were nicely cooked and tasty to eat. Helpings were generous and pricing reasonable.”

“Absolutely awful, possibly the worst Chinese takeaway we’ve ever had, food was almost cold, and not quite sure what the meat was in the special curry, it was supposed to be chicken and beef, but both very chewy and full of fat, very poor quality, also, virtually no bean sprouts or onion in the noodle dish, definitely wouldn’t recommend or return..”

“Ordered online and collected in 20minutes. It was the worst take away I've ever had. Ribs looked like over ripe bananas hard and no meat never seen anything like it...inedible. Everything else was luke warm and no taste.....never again”

“Waited over 1hr 40 mins despite being told 35mins When the food arrived the platter was stone cold and even after we heated it up( which we shouldn't have had to do! ) it was inedible. Will not use again”
