Torranyard Tandoori is perhaps one of the best Indian restaurants I have visited. The staff are…read morevery friendly and welcoming and the menu is extensive but not exhausting. The setting is cosy, if not a bit out of the way. I greatly appreciate the large selection of vegetarian food, for every curry there is the choice of paneer, indian vegetables, regular vegetables and for everyone else, a variety of meats. The gobi (cauliflower) pakora is definitely worth a try, as it is always made fresh, and is crisp and delicious. I have also been informed that the tandoori dishes are unmatched. If you happen to be anywhere near Kilwinning, give it a try!

Judging by the many people dining there on a weeknight, I would recommend booking a table regardless of the day. Food was excellent; my husband likes spice and I do not, but our waiter gave recommendations that suited both of us.

Update/Edit: August 2015 Balbirs Route A77 renamed "Mac's Spice Route". Mac, who has run the…read morerestaurant for Balbirs for many years, has just taken over the business himself. Same team and hopefully same excellent restaurant and great menu! Arrive hungry and choose the banquet! Just like its hugely popular sibling Balbirs in Glasgow West End they serve the banquet to your table. Everyone raves about their tandoori salmon, though I stick to their vegetarian options. Its a smart joint serving excellent modern Indian cuisine. Keep your eyes peeled for signposts on A77. Since the new Symington flyover the access to Balbirs has changed a little to make it safer and easier. Who would have thought an unspectacular 'box' that was once home to a Little Chef could be so lovely inside!

We've been eating at this Balbir's since it opened in the Halfway Hotel across the dual carriageway…read moreyears ago, then when it moved to Ayr, then to its present location, en ex_little Chef. Overhauld (practically rebuilt) withmuch more room & lots of parking at the rear, this is probably the only restaurant I have regularly eaten in at least 4 times a month. Service is excellent, with the boss Michael & waiters providing an efficient and friendly, but never intrusive service, and quality and taste of food just outstanding! I have eaten in the other variants of Balbirs, in Church St in Glasgow's West End, at Shawlands, at Charing Cross, but though very good, they don't really come up to Balbir's at Route 77 standard in terms of outright taste and quality. Much of this is down to the chef's interpretation of a dish, for example try a lamb saag here & then compare elsewhere & you'll see the difference. Similarly the lamb methi and chicken tikka achari or pan fried lamb fillet interpretations are unbeatable. For something really different, order the salmon pakora, and you'll be back here for more. We've eaten in Asian restaurants around the world : some good,some very good and some I'd rather forget about & am happy to see that in the last 10 years or so the number of really good Asian restaurants in Glasgow & West of Scotland in particular (sorry : don't know about Edinburgh) has increased enormously.However judged on the sheer flavours which burst in your mouth, irrespective of which dish you've ordered, this retaurant comes right at the top. Theres no doubt if I was to be asked what my one favourite restaurant is, this has to be it. Price : extremely reasonable considering the high quality and a bit less than what you'd pay in central Glasgow. Just about forgot they do carry outs to the same high standard. The only slight downside is the slightly remote location which realistically means it can only be accessed by car (I suppose the up side is it doesn't get invaded by over excited people from the local pubs around closing time) and if heading back to Kilmarnock / Glasgow you have to head towards Prestwick first before turning since it's a dual carriageway. A trivial price to pay though. All in All I would have no hesitation in recommending this Balbir's to any discerning curry lover & have no hesitation in awarding it five stars.

There is so much choice of delicious Indian dishes and also a European menu. The restaurant was clean with beautiful decor and a wonderful view over the Clyde with the ferry to Cumbrae going back and forth. The service was excellent and friendly. We've decided to go there again over Christmas! For some people access might be difficult at the restaurant is upstairs without a lift. The staff seem happy to help those who have difficulties by carrying pushchairs or bags, etc. They also do a take away service and the restaurant is open at lunchtimes as well as evenings. Sometimes you're lucky and can park in the street outside or around the corner, otherwise there is a large car park directly opposite (costing £2).

It's an old building, and obviously the stair carpet was well worn so gives the wrong idea of what to find, the staff greeted us immediately and were very courteous, not very many people inside as he had actually had new carpets fitted in the main restaurant so he explained he had to cancel the buffet for that day. We did not wait very long for a pre dinner drink or the menu. Ordered house special saffron rice and chicken korma and lamb rogan josh poppadoms etc. The meal arrived within ten minutes, and it was absolutely delicious- the meat was very nice not this tumbled chicken you tend to get now and the lamb was succulent and soft it melted in your mouth. The owner was a great hospitable guy who could not do enough for you, and his wife and the young English guy waiter were very friendly. The meal cost £28.50 for two people absolute bargain.
