Clippers was an a-ok Indian restaurant. The food was decent, as others reviewers have said, but there's definitely better Indian food to be had a drive away in Edinburgh city. I can never resist the creamy, sweet lure of a korma but Clippers' was by no means among the best. The same with the naan. I've had garlic naans just oozing with delicious fresh garlic but, again, Clippers' offering was just an a-okay in the flavours department.
For me, the service was lacking because there was a certain pushiness about it all; pushing us for the buffet option, the persistence of 'another?' when it came to drinks; it was just a little much. The waiter even asked me, 'some rosé?' His attempt at person-drink matching was ultimately flawed. - Firstly, I'm a g & t girl and, secondly, I just wasn't in the mood for alcohol. It's daft to presume that everyone is.
So, an a-okay by all means. Three stars for Clippers. read more
