While in Arbedeen for work, 8848 was recommended to me by more than one individual. I headed over…read moreto check it out on a Tuesday. Upon entering I was great by a warm smile and a helpful manor from the staff. The atmosphere was a confused mix in an attempt to be upscale contemporary crossed with leftover Asian knick-knacks. I ordered a bottle of 2014 Cabernet for 45 eros. I am accustomed to spending money on good wine but the waiter brought a 2011 (which was a horrible year) without alerting me of the change. After tasting the waiter confirmed the mistake and brought me a different bottle since they were out of the requested wine. For an app, I had the dumplings with lamb. These were fantastic. Highly recommend these if you are knowledgeable about properl

Again one of those places that I'm jot sure about if it's my taste, wrong choice or just unlucky -…read morebut in my case this place didn't leave a wow effect on me. It is a great shame as it was rated quite well from our friends and even my partner really enjoyed the FOOD. My starter (duck) was very dry small on some decoration that was very dry with lot of onion (not sure maybe that's how it should be?? - some modest local food, but then it shouldn't cost that much). My main and peshwari bread was just OK because I couldn't taste any flavour much in it.. But! Be prepared for generous portions and spicy will be indeed spicy }:) However be also aware that the TIMING might leave you quite inpatient and hungry - as it was in our case and another table (who complained to my boyfriend at the restroom :D ) we were waiting for around 45/50 mins for starter and the main wasn't much shorter. Therefore one star less. ATMOSPHERE - I think this place tries to get the posh vibe with high ceilings crystal chandeliers - clean look with pictures of Everest and Nepal on the wall (8848 being the height of Everest in meters) & SERVICE was pleasant/funny, however they seemed to be a bit nervous/shaky at times and brought us coffee that was swimming on its plate (details such this are nice to fix if you are trying for expensive look, but even in general it doesn't hurt to bring a napkin at least). In general - not really VALUE for money for me, but others might enjoy. I'm leaving the other star for next time, if there is any, to find out whether it is me or the food and the time improvement.

It was my second time. Consistently, the food was very nice and the service was pleasant…read more VALUE - for Aberdeen probably average SERVICE - attentive ( just the right amount) TIMING - good FOOD - very good ATMOSPHERE - you need to be a fan of darker places (good for romantic dinner but not for business purposes).

Royal Thai is quite pleasant. The interior is elegant and the service is nice…read more My starter (Tod Mun) was good as was my main course the Cashew Chicken and Vegetable. Also, the rice was done to perfection. I am a little suspicious of any Thai place that doesn't have a lot of bamboo shoots in their dishes but I suspect its a mix of local custom and the fact that this is really sort Thai / Chinese mix of cuisines (lots of duck). Only H2O for me, I'm in detox.

I can't believe there aren't more reviews for Rendezvous at Nargile, although I see at least one…read moreperson has left a review for the Nargile (same owners) on Skene Street whilst providing a photo of Nargile/Rendezvous. This is my favourite place to eat in Aberdeen. I love, love, love all their food. The Rendezvous is so much better than Skene Street as I think it is a prettier venue and the parking is so easy. If you can get a Groupon voucher or an offer voucher via Northsound for Fab Food Friday then power to your elbow. I go with friends for lunch and dinner when I can and always have the mixed Meze. I think the flavours are amazing. By the way, there is a Nargile in Edinburgh with similar food, but I do not think it is owned by the same family.

Seriously though, the cuisine was really good. The wait person was great in that he quizzed us on likes and dislikes, heat and no heat, protean type, onions, tomato questions? Once he had all that, he said he would take care of the entree - and he definitely did - one shrimp, one lamb along with coconut rice and vegetable nan. Most excellent! Within 10 minutes walk of Union Station. Clean, good service, great food - Highly recommend.

He recently brought me here since he's a fan of this place and soon I too became a fan. The poppadom was very good. My starter for the meal was a curry soup and this alone could fill you up. It was like a carrot curry but creamier. Definitely something you should try. Our main courses were the Bengal special and another dish which had lamb, chicken, and beef in some rice with a fried egg on top with a nice vegetable curry on the side. We also ordered some coconut naan which was to die for. So in short, the food = great! The prices are your standard Indian restaurant prices. It was around 9-12 pounds a dish. Additional poppadom for another 3 pounds. The place is great for business meals, family functions, special and/or casual dinners. The waiters and the owner are very friendly and helpful. And of course, the place was very clean and impressive. All in all, a great place to go for a lunch or dinner.

I recommend everything here.
