Food arrived quickly, which was a positive. The food was delicious, another positive. However, we were greatly disappointed in the service. We had one friend who did not want spice and the server mixed up the order so she was given the very spicy one. It took a long time for the server to bring her some yogurt to help to down the spice. We also had to ask repeatedly for additional water refills. Eventually the water arrived, but it was disappointing to have to keep asking and having to wait so long. It would have been better if they could've have given us a carafe of water so we could refill our own glasses. We also had a burn injury at our table. Unfortunately, the server neglected to alert my friend that the chicken tandoori plate was hot. My friend touched the plate and burned his fingers. The staff was concerned and apologetic, but they didn't comp us anything for the pain and suffering. That was disappointing. All in all, the food was good, but the service was subpar.

But the speed with which the waiters cleared the table and had us seated was exceptional! We'd searched for a place to eat to no avail when my friends suggested Indian Cottage. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we were happy to wait the short time until a table was free. The restaurant has a fresh yet traditional feel to it, and it seemed very clean. White tablecloths adorn the table and decorative napkins were folded impeccably! We went for a starter to share which was a platter of tandoori chicken, lamb kebab and an assortment of sauces. The chicken was impressively tender and fresh and went perfect with the accompanying sauces. For main, I went for chicken korma (always!) with rice and a peshwari naan. Delicous! The curries came in ornate gold bowls with large serving spoons which was a nice decorative touch. The portions were generous and it was reasonably good value with the starter platter, three curries, two portions of rice, a peshwari naan and a bottle of red wine for just under £70! One of my favourite kormas in Stirling so far. I'd definitely consider visiting the other two of the Mr Singh's restaurants in Stirling. Worth a visit, curry lovers!

I had family over round about that time in the evening that bellies start to rumble. With no food…read morein the fridge and no firm dinner plans, we thought it would be nice to order food to takeaway from Rana's Spice Garden which, coincidentally, is just round the corner from my flat. Rana's was my first choice because I'd heard good things from a colleague and my boyfriend had recently enjoyed food ordered from there. Rana's was fresh and fast. We headed over to order and waited a short time before our food was ready. I had the Rana's garlic korma, which was a delicious creamy, spicy dish; still with the mildness of a traditional korma, but with a lovely, punchy garlic kick. The result was delicious! The garlic naan was scrumptious too, as was the chicken pakora, and accompanying dips. Thinking back, the beautifully tender chicken pakora was my favourite and I recommend ordering several portions to share if there's a group, because our portion was gone in mere minutes. That's not to say that it was a teeny tiny portion; it was just SO good that we couldn't help but devour it. You know you've made a good foodie choice when there's not a word said, rather just eating, tearing, dipping, sharing. And clean plates afterwards, of course. So, it's safe to say that food from Spice Garden was a resounding success, and being so convenient for me, I'll definitely choose them again when I'm set on having a takeaway night.

Great decor and ambiance. The service was efficient and pleasant. And then there was the food! The menu was so extensive that we had a hard time deciding what to order. We finally narrowed it down and tried a couple of new dishes and a couple of the old standards. The serving dishes were placed on wee holders with candles to keep the food warm. This may be something that is common here in the UK, but I have not seen it done in the US. Great touch. Every dish was heaven and was complemented by the onion naan. I highly recommend that you give this restaurant a try. Although they do take-out, experience dining there at least once. It's lovely.
