In the heart of Perthshire lies a wee village called Methven. Through it's centre is one long main…read morestreet which has a smattering of shops, pubs and a garage...and then you come across the absolute delight that is Chatni, a contemporary Indian restaurant that is a joy to behold. This restaurant is extremely popular among those in the know and, given they don't ever advertise (or so I'm told), their patrons are largely there through word of mouth. I thought therefore it was time to spread the word a bit further afield! This is the second time I've been here, and it was just as wonderful and delicious as the first time. The restaurant itself is within a small cottage, although manages to appear quite spacious once you're inside with elegant and sophisticated decor. On this particular Thursday night, our group of 15 was welcomed with open arms and made to feel welcome from the get go. The times I have been here, the restaurant ticks away with a variety of folk, from couples having a romantic dinner, to families enjoying their evening meal. What makes this place very special is the level of attention given to every diner, and the staff obviously knew some of their customers well...it's a testament to the restaurant that these diners come back time and time again! Once seated, our drinks order was taken and the drinks arrived from a fairly well stocked bar. Well, most of the drinks arrived! I seem to recall having to remind them to bring my drinks on both occasions I have been here however, the waiting staff are so utterly charming it's impossible to be cross with them! For starters, our table decided on a mix of poppadoms and pakora with dips. The pakora, both chicken and vegetable, were light and tasty and the accompanying dip was yummy (almost like a creamy mango chutney to me although I should have really asked what it was!). We were enjoying these so much we completely forgot we'd ordered main meals! Now, it took 15 of us quite a long time to decide what we were having for our mains, and the staff were on hand with information and helpful suggestions as to what we should try. They were happy to cook the dishes according to our taste, and even told us we could try the dishes we'd ordered and if we didn't like them they would cook us something else. I have never been offered that in a restaurant before and it was a refreshing change! The mains were largely the same as you would get in most Indian restaurants with the addition of a Rezala curry (creamy AND spicy...for those folk who like a Korma but wish it had more of a kick), however what sets them apart is the fact the dishes are so fresh and light with delicious ingredients. You didn't get that 'bagged up' feeling you sometimes get following an Indian meal. My king prawn rezala was exceedingly tasty and to accompany it was a mix of mushroom, pilau and special fried rice. The peshwari naan is just about the finest I've ever tasted and achieves exactly the right balance of flavours to make my taste buds smile and jump up and down! Other highlights from my fellow diners included the chicken pathia and chilli masala. Following our meal, any leftovers were duly boxed up and given to us to take home to grateful partners or flat-mates...I don't think I would have given mine away though, it was too good to share! We weren't rushed following our main courses and by that point we were happy and comfortably full enough to not require desserts...I'm fairly certain they would be just as fabulous though. With drinks included it roughly worked out about £25 a head and it was worth every penny. The restaurant offers a delivery service at weekends, can cater for up to 45 guests and also do events catering. They also seemed quite happy to offer a set menu, if requested. As you can tell, I love this restaurant and only wish we could re-locate it to Edinburgh so I can visit it more frequently. Lets hope they continue to serve wonderful Indian food in their wee spot in Perthshire for many years to come.

Service was excellent.

Minus: no patron restroom on the premises; we tried to wash our hands at the public toilets across the street, but there was no soap. Lesson: always travel with hand sanitizer. Anyway the pluses are that the menu is varied, the service was prompt, and the food was really good. We had the garlic with coriander naan (so big!), shared an entree of lal murg masala (chicken with honey; no rice) that really hit the spot, and a side of saag aloo. That was enough food for the two of us. Our AirBnB hosts said they often get take-out from Mehmood's. We can recommend it.

Even my husband, who is from India and has more of a picky taste when it comes to Indian food loved them. When then had butter chicken and lamb korma which were both flavorful.
