?? Strongly not recommended. This place is overpriced, unhygienic, and unprofessional. Save your money and eat elsewhere in Portree?you?ll have a far better experience.
We had a terrible experience at this Indian restaurant in Portree during our two-day trip. Honestly, it was one of the worst dining experiences we?ve ever had.
Food Quality:
We ordered two different chicken dishes (£10 each), but both tasted exactly the same.
The chicken and masala were undercooked and completely lacking in flavour.
Each dish had only four tiny pieces of chicken, which was shocking for the price.
We also ordered garlic naan (£5 each). There was no garlic on them?just some red chilli powder. The naan was so small it could be finished in 4 bites.
Service & Hygiene:
No complimentary salad, sauces, or side items, which are usually standard in Indian restaurants.
We asked for tap water, but were told it was ?not filtered? and were pressured to buy bottled water instead.
The plates were not properly washed?you could clearly see stains on them.
Service was extremely poor and the atmosphere was very unwelcoming.
Payment Issues:
They only accept cash or direct bank transfer. No card payments, and they refused Indian bank accounts. This clearly looks like a way to avoid tax.
Value for Money:
We paid around £50 for four people and left completely unsatisfied. For that price, you can easily get much better food and service anywhere else in the UK?or even street restaurants near Delhi railway station are far superior.

Unfortunately, our experience here was very disappointing. After a day of exploring the beautiful highlands, we were excited to enjoy some Indian food, but the meal fell far short of our expectations. The flavors were bland, and the dishes lacked the authenticity and freshness we were hoping for. Portions were ok for the price, and overall, the quality was really poor. Definitely not what we were expecting, especially in such a charming town. Would not recommend if you?re looking for a good meal in Portree.

Not even worth a star! Horribly made food. Nothing but a ridiculous place. Also, NOT INDIAN! So do not go by as the name suggests.

Had a very disappointing experience. Despite the name, it doesn?t truly represent Indian cuisine or taste?the waiters and even the flag displayed were Bangladeshi. The waiting time to get a waiter?s attention was excessively long, and unfortunately, the food didn?t make up for it. The only thing I liked was the cheese naan; everything else fell short in taste. Overall, it was a frustrating experience. I would advise others to try different places if they want authentic Indian food.

This meal was very disappointing unfortunately. The puppodums and sauces were nice, however the starters were scrappy and tasted stale. Of the four mains we ordered, two were passable but the butter chicken and chicken Tikka masala were barely edible and did not resemble any curries we have had in the past. The pilau rice was essentially boiled white rice with green and red food colouring. The garlic naans did not appear to contain any garlic whatsoever sadly.
The service was OK but unfortunately we cannot recommend this restaurant.

Was told that the card machine wasn't working and had to pay in cash. But this wasn't true. The card machine was working and they tend to bring it out only when you insist on paying on the card.

Food wasn?t bad, however we were told at the end of the meal that they were only taking cash due to their ?card machine being down? and the server pointed to a very small sign on the bar. He went on to say that no change will be provided as it had to be exact.
The sign on their front door stated they take card, but there was no mention of cash only upon ordering. Thankfully we had some Euro that covered the meal?
Seems like others have had this same problem.

We had a group of 2 families and we arrived there with very high hopes. Very first disappointment was, they don?t accept card but cash only. Secondly only one person managing the show. We had to wait for sometime to someone to attend first. Then a guy appeared and was very rude. He simply directed as go and bring the cash. Didn?t have any kindness or politeness to offer table first which were all free. Was serving Bangladeshi food on the name of India. We immediately left after such a rude behaviour.
