There are quite a few curry houses higher on my list to visit than the Balaka…read more Basically I went with my partner on New Years Day, you know what its like, hungover to hell and needing some good food to fill your tummy, its the back of 7, nowheres open and youve nothing in to cook! So off you go in search of somewhere decent. We didnt quite find that quality here and to be fair it could have possibly been the fact that it was NYD that went against this place, maybe they were all pissed off to be working and hadnt been to the shops for fresh ingredients for a while. Anyhoo, I had a curry dish and my partner had a biriyani. We also ordered chips to soak up excess booze and were actually scrutinized by the next table, but whatever its nothing to do with the restaurant. I found my food to be...not quite to my palate. As did my partner. The staff, while nice enough, tended to watch your every move which was kind of awkward and off putting.It was also quite pricey for the quality of food we recieved. All in all, this wasnt the best start to our New Year! :(

Indian buffets have tended toward trays of food that sits out too long so things dry out, and the curries tend toward simple, monochrome flavors. Here the curries were complex and flavorful, the tandoori chicken was tender and succulent (not taut and dry as it can be), and the selection of foods, while not huge, was diverse (but most important) richly flavorful and well-maintained. If no-one was partaking at the time, the staff would rush over and put lids on the trays to preserve moisture, heat, and aroma. As soon as someone approached an area they would rush to remove the lids. At the table, when done with a plate, staff would whisk it away immediately. Great flavor, quality, service and attention to detail for a buffet, in a very pretty setting to boot. And just incredible value.

Have tried to persevere with this place but I dont think I'll go back. Basically the food is…read morestandard when you sit in and less than satisfactory when you takeaway, in my opinion. I have also encountered some serious bad form when having a meal with my partner. Basically, we had poppadoms, chutney, a starter each, shared a curry, had a rice each, a naan, some chips, had a dessert each and had about 3 beers each. Now already this would have came to an average of hmmm 50 odd quid, pretty good for a meal for 2. When we went to pay however, we were charged about £70. They had added an extra curry on the bill. Their reasoning was we both need to order a main dish. Fair enough usually...but noone had pointed to the tiny print on the back nor had it came up when we were ordering. Very very sneaky. Had we known, we would have skipped starters and dessert as we'd have been too full and they'd have ended up getting less than 40quid from us. It still saddens me to think that restaurants use such underhanded tactics to obtain extra cash from customers. The rule should have been pointed out. Very bad form.

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!
