Tasty Food. After a long travel day, I decided to stop in here for some Indian food. I am glad I…read moredid. I enjoyed my meal. The presentation was very nice. My waiter was very polite. The spinach was a bit spicier than I like, so he brought me some yogurt to cool me down. The chicken Tikka was flavorful. 4 Stars!

I think I'm being conscientious on Yelp (and other review sites) when I search places are still…read moreopen and bookmark them... *How about you read the reviews, Elaine?*. This restaurant was on a website I use for finding local vegetarian and vegan places and it was only as I entered that I saw the three reviews were from 2008, 2009, and 2012. As often happens when you sit at a table we were handed menus and asked if we wanted a drink. One of my pet hates is being asked that when I've not located a drinks menu, if there is even a drinks menu. The waiter was going to come back but I went quickly to the draft beers page and ordered the only one they had, a Cobra. Indian restaurants should be the easiest place to get vegan food given how many people in India are vegetarian but it oftens poses the most problems. Here, it seemed some staff had the duties of taking drinks and money, and others had the responsibility of taking food orders. I thought I'd start with asking if the vegetable pakora was ok for vegans... she looks at me and shakes her head "No.." Me: "Does it have milk...egg...?" "Yes". "What about the samosa or onion bhaji?" Again she kind of grimaced and shook her head. Then we went to the mains. Tarka Daal? No, it has cream/ghee, I can't remember which. Well, of course it does. Then we were told that that type of food isn't what they do - "because it doesnt taste as nice that way" - and Indian Ocean around the corner was better for vegetarians. Good to know when we were already sitting with two pints. Basically, some Indian restaurants cook fresh to order, but I got the feeling these guys want to cook fast, serve fast, and get their tables back for the next round of paying customers. Faffing about with replacing ghee with a veg oil won't fly. So, we were told any veg curries except the daal were ok, so we enquired about another two and were told they weren't suitable either. Some dishes clearly said they were cooked with butter, cream or ghee, but others didn't but they were, too. We went with a potato curry and a cauliflower curry which were listed as vegetable sides but we asked for them as mains. At this point she said we could have most of the chefs main curries with vegetables but I like potatoes and I like cauliflower and couldn't be bothered with the vagueness of "vegetables" and potentially having to dissect it for chunks of mushrooms - the only vegetable I don't like. Food came in less than 10 minutes. The chapattis were lovely. Curries were fine. When the bill came it was around £9.50/£9.95 for each main when the veggie chefs mains were £8.95 so I'm sure the prices were bumped up, possibly as minimum spend per person on food was £12.95. I'm giving two stars rather than one as the other staff - whom we didn't need to engage with in as much dialogue - we friendly and prompt and the food we ended up with satisfactory.

4 of us stopped in for dinner after spending the day golfing and we were glad we did!…read more As we were placing our order, the owner came out and asked us about what type of Indian food we like, how spicy we like our food, etc. He then made unique recommendations for each of us, encouraging us to try some different items than we have tried in the past. This was hands down the best Indian food any of us have ever eaten! We are enjoyed it so much that we want to arrange future golf outings in this areas, just so we can come back to eat at Sid's!

Each visit has…read morebeen better and the last dinner I had there was nothing short of one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. I am new to eating Authentic Indian food, and I am so glad I chose Sid's Spice to try out a new cuisine. The dining experience is excellent. Maybe one of the most pleasant dining experiences I've had. Although the restaurant is not too large, they have arranged it in a way that works for the customer. To say the food is good is an understatement. Honestly. The flavors are robust but also can be subtle and full of spices that are authentically Indian. Not only is the food undeniably good, the portion sizes are really quite large, but not too large where you wouldn't be able to finish the dish. And the staff. Sid (owner of Sid's Spice) is an amazingly friendly guy that actually waited on our table himself, and made sure that we had everything we needed. The rest of the staff is also really friendly and they seem as though they would go out of their way to be sure their customers have an amazing dining experience. Also! They have a new menu out now. The first two dining experiences I had was with the old, the last was with the new. The new menu seems to be really nice and they have a lot of new tasty looking dishes. The food also seemed to be considerably better, although it was already really good. Overall, Sid's Spice is an amazing place to eat authentic Indian food, that is reasonably priced, has unbelievable delicious food, and the staff are really friendly, and the restaurant is what you would expect from an established, authentic restaurant.

My in-laws wanted to enjoy a pub experience in the central business district with limited vegetarian options, so we decided to give Cinnamon a try. Like most indian restaurants, there were several vegetarian and a few vegan entrees and sides. We also enjoyed the bread options and the pakora. The best part was the friendly and helpful staff. My spouse can't handle spicy food, so they made all the the dishes mild, which is quite accommodating. They brought me a side of chili peppers, which add some heat for me. And the cost is affordable. I've read great reviews about the buffet, and hope to give it a try on a future visit.

The range of dishes is decent, it's reasonably priced and the flavours are excellent. Staff are very friendly and attentive without being creepy. It's got that old-skool Indian restaurant feel to it in terms of decor etc, which I kinda like in a pseudo-retro way.

The food was absolutely excellent and the staff were all polite, very helpful and extremely keen to make sure you had a good experience - so in other words the staff were really good. Slightly dated decor now, but still a nice and airy restaurant situated in the heart of Dinwall with easy parking right outside the front door (and alternative parking very close by). It is cheap in comparison to other indian restaurants and so if you are looking for some good quality indian cuisine I can definitely recommend the Dingwall Tandoori Restaurant.

The restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived for an early dinner. They have an extensive menu of both Thai and Indian cuisine. We first ordered Chicken Satay and Vegetable Egg Rolls as starters. I ordered the Panama Curry with Chicken and a Chicken Coconut Soup. My wife ordered the Seafood Platter with Spicy Noodles. Both meals and starters were outstanding. The service was very friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered what seemed a large quantity of food for a reasonable price.
