We were in Blairgowrie on a two night break and while wandering about I asked a shop assistant at the coop where was good to eat around here. I prefer to ask someone impartial as opposed to hotel staff. After humming and hawing she said Sampan was just about the best place around if you like Indian.
We do, so went and weren't disappointed. Despite heading in about half 7 on a Friday night we were seated straight away, although the place was busy. Had the full shebang, popadoms, wine, starters mains and it came to just over £50.00 which I find expensive but seems to be standard fare at an Indian these days.
I had a tandoori mixed grill for my main which was delicious. I usually don't touch these as they are huge but I was feeling hungry. There portion was less than some of the other monstrosities I have in the past. However, I found that a good thing, I left full but not bloated which is what usually happens when I go.
All in all great place, nice atmosphere, nice decor and tasty food. I just wish Indians weren't so damn expensive.
I'd come again if I was out that way. read more
