Most of us had the buffet option, food was hot, nicely presented however there wasn't a huge choice of starters or mains. However this suited me as I don't eat Indian often so it allows me to sample a few dishes. It was all very tasty and we all cleared our plates, job done, 25 happy customers!

This was, hands down, the best meal I ate in Scotland. For any of you skeptics who believe the UK is doomed to have gross food (and you're pretty much right), this place will change your mind. Everything was incredibly fresh, really delicious and the menu very unique - no marginal, generic poser-Indian-Pakistani fare like what we get in the U.S. The servers were delighted to explain and recommend their favorite dishes and clearly took a lot of pride in how awesome their food is. The white tablecloth service was top-notch. Oddly, the dining room was very empty for an early dinner, but the customers coming in for take away was nonstop the whole time. Score!

Everything is freshly prepared with evident care taken in the quality and taste of their curries. I rate an Indian restaurant on 2 things, which if they can't get right they've failed in my book - a good naan bread (crispy and soft in the middle) and great chicken tikka. This place does both extremely well. Thumbs up!

The food at this place was b.l.a.n.d. Where was the masala hiding? No depth of flavour, one-dimensional b.o.r.i.n.g. Def. not the complexities of flavours we get in Toronto.

I prefer to ask someone impartial as opposed to hotel staff. After humming and hawing she said Sampan was just about the best place around if you like Indian. We do, so went and weren't disappointed. Despite heading in about half 7 on a Friday night we were seated straight away, although the place was busy. Had the full shebang, popadoms, wine, starters mains and it came to just over £50.00 which I find expensive but seems to be standard fare at an Indian these days. I had a tandoori mixed grill for my main which was delicious. I usually don't touch these as they are huge but I was feeling hungry. There portion was less than some of the other monstrosities I have in the past. However, I found that a good thing, I left full but not bloated which is what usually happens when I go. All in all great place, nice atmosphere, nice decor and tasty food. I just wish Indians weren't so damn expensive. I'd come again if I was out that way.
