"The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious. The service is outstanding and the staff is very welcoming. We are frequent patrons of this establishment. While the music was a bit too loud at first, it was quickly adjusted to a more enjoyable volume after we brought it to their attention."

"Attended a pre wedding party yesterday evening on August hosted by the Nandas (please check with the host and don’t deny the fact that this party ever happened or I did not attend like you do in response to your other reviews). To start with, horribly slow starter service. For a table service one would expect either the food to be replenished quickly or at least bought out when asked. Here you get a response, “wait, it’s being cooked.” No please, no sorry, in short, no manners. Here’s the real problem though. A restaurant of this size says, we have run out of Chicken Nuggets for kids. Who doesn’t have spare nuggets in the kitchen? And if not, should you not offer more chips instead? Keeping kids hungry is just not done. The mains were just okay quality/quantity wise but nowhere near their restaurant food. We have been to the restaurant many times and hence our expectations were a bit high, probably different chefs for restaurant and parties or whatever. But no complaints in general on mains and desserts. The final nail in the coffin. After dancing, I go to the bar asking for WATER. The very NICE lady says, “we don’t have any water jugs back here.” I ask for TAP WATER instead. She goes, “We don’t have any glasses.” I can clearly see at least crates of nice clean glasses behind the bar. Tired and really thirsty, I go to the other side near the kitchen end asking a waiter for water. Her response is even more alarming. NO WATER IN THE KITCHEN. Even my year old would not buy this answer. I really demand an explanation on the reason for not providing the most basic necessity to your guests. It was at night and did not want to raise it back then at the venue but without any explanation to this, I doubt anyone reading this review will ever want to host a party with Venue unless THE HOSTS ARE READY TO TAKE ABOUT BOTTLES OF LITRE WATER WITH THEM. In a nutshell, Venue did all they could to ruin the evening for the lovely couple.For anyone thinking to host an event here in the future, I am more than happy to come forward and share my experience in more details. YES, there was more than this but not trivial."

"While the food and ambience is good, I was taken aback when after booking via OpenTable the waitress was not able to find my booking. Furthermore, she stated we don't use OpenTable and so this was not a valid booking, inspite of my showing the email confirmation and the booking on the app. Wasn't a nice start to an evening when I was taking guests over there, but the food and service thereafter was decent. Pricing is a bit high, but then it has made a name and so was packed even on a Thursday evening. Worth visiting. Perhaps book directly."

"Celebrated our anniversary today Sunday 12 September 2021 lunch time. Service was absolutely spot on. Actually the best I have experienced in a restaurant. the manager Deepak was very efficient and ran the floor with precision. All staff were friendly and did not need prompting. The environment and the decor were really good as well. The food was really flavorful.. not too big portions but to be expected of a fine dining establishment. The chef really does know how to make the food sing. Drinks and desserts were also top notch. It is not cheap but the set menus do help keep the price reasonable. My little one was made to feel comfortable as well even though not too many people would associate fine dining restaurants being child friendly although do be mindful they don't allow children late in the evening. Nice touch was a anniversary message and cake complimentary of the restaurant which was much appreciated. Definitely will visit again for our next special occasion. Good luck to the restaurant and its team."

"The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious and the staff are very attentive. However, the decor is lacking in coziness and inspiration. The atmosphere feels a bit sterile, like a dull dentist's waiting room. During my visit in the middle of winter, I felt a constant draft from either the air conditioning or the door. Be sure to choose your table and seating carefully to ensure a pleasant dining experience."

"Went there for the first time and chose the 5 course tasting menu. The first 3 courses were bite sized portions, 4th had rice, black daal naan as accompaniments followed by dessert. Having tasted Indian food in a lot of places in UK, I would say the food was very good but not mind blowing. Everything was tastefully presented looked good. But the wow factor was missing. Service was top notch attentive but not intrusive. The decor is quite pub like since the restaurant is housed in a very old hotel but that adds to the charm. Was quite busy for a Wed evening so it seems to be popular!!"

"Visited on a whim, and Indian food is something I do enjoy. Sat downstairs and my order was taken right away. Poppadoms and a variety of sauces were brought and I nibbled whilst waiting for the meal I ordered. It only took minutes and was delivered, piping hot. It was fabulous, really well cooked and very tasty. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for fast and friendly service and a lovely meal. It was, I feel, a tad pricy, the rice was separate, and although they do meal deals, this was outwith the times. However, it is in St.Andrews so that seems to be on par with Edinburgh pricing. Lovely meal though."

"this restaurant deserves any good review that it has got! eating is amazing and the ambiente is just as good. in the rule Indian/pakistani restaurants with claws decoration and interiors, just because there are few restaurants. but this restaurant is very different. the restaurant is very beautiful from the inside and especially looks perfectly clean. we have not made the buffet option and have just decided to order from the menu. we ordered the chicken tikka masala, garnelen biryani and malai tikka boti. we loved eating, especially the huh tikka masala! that was the highlight of our meal, couple with the warm butternan. it was delicious! the biryani was a bit spicy, but still very tasty. I would recommend this place to everyone! go and see yourself!"

"What used to be a great place to eat .Is now to be avoided al all costs whist the food is of a good standard .Cant say the same of the service we received, we had a table booked for 7.15 our drinks starter were served promptly .Then it all started to go downhill ,there was a steady flow of just eat delivery drivers in out after waiting for an hour we asked where are main meal .The waiter responded, with the following comment just eat comes first we will bring you your meal in a while .at which point we requested the bill for what we had been served A manager then came to our table to apologise ten minutes later are main course arrived .We wont be going back"

"Great menu! Very refreshing and different to the usual North Indian cuisine majority of the British Indian restaurants offer. Definitely try their Indian Chinese starters like chilli chicken, salt pepper prawns, veg manchurian and their cocktails! Natak’s menu beats Dishoom for us ; They have a new and excited team of waiters waitresses who take your eating plates away in a rush so a bit of service awareness missing but otherwise they’re all friendly prompt. Cannot wait to return to try their diverse brunch menu which has dosas etc."

"The manager needs to do a refresher course on customer service. The restaurant is suppose to be a Lebanese cuisine but had only Indian food as mains? Me and my friends had ordered mocktail and the drinks were literally half a glass, the drinks were overpriced in terms of how much we got. We ordered a shared Tapas and unfortunately it wasn't really sharing Tapas the portion sizes were very small. When trying to discuss this he came across quite arrogant and had very little listening skills. We were extremely upset the way he dealt with things so cancelled our main, however we didn't let this dampen our mood and went to the Turkish restaurant down the road and they really went out of their way to serve us good food, big portion sizes and gave us dessert which was in the house."

"The menu is excellent, and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the dishes. We had someone in our group with a gluten intolerance, but that was no issue at all. I mentioned to the waiter that it was a birthday celebration, and they surprised us with a birthday dessert, complete with a candle and a lovely note! The food was delicious, and I would definitely come back again."

"To my surprise, many restaurants are closed on Sunday evening in London. Every time I looked up a vegan restaurant on Happy Cow, it turned out it was closed. Since it was late and I was hungry, I had no other option than to select a vegetarian restaurant close by. 1947 Restaurant and Bar is both an Indian and Italian restaurant. The entire menu is vegetarian, however only around 20% is vegan. Many more meals can be made vegan, but so many of them had cheese listed as an ingredient that I didn 't want to run the risk. What if there 's an error in communication between the waitress and the kitchen? Or what if the chef accidentally adds cheese out of habit? I had lots of time to make up my mind, because even though the restaurant was very quiet it took a long time until the waitress came to take my order. I selected vegan biryani because I like biryani and because I 've tried it at so many restaurants that it 's easy to compare. It took a long time for the biryani to be prepared, but then it was served beautifully and smelled divine (as it should be). However, compared to other restaurants it 's a rather simple biryani. It has only one kind of rice (it is often served with both white and yellow rice) and only a few vegetables. There was no tofu, mushroom, potato, no nuts or any protein source. Also, the yoghurt was missing (which is used to extinguish the fire caused by the spices). The portion was generous and the taste was good. Although it was mentioned on the menu, 1947 Restaurant and Bar adds a 12.5% service tax. Why don 't restaurants just increase all prices on the menu instead of giving the customers a nasty surprise at the end?"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It was impeccably clean, and the food was fresh and served warm. The service was friendly and attentive. They offer cans of Coke Zero, which I really appreciated, and you can also enjoy unlimited refills from the soda fountain. The pakora isn’t stored in a bain marie, which helps it avoid the sogginess often found in some buffet offerings. I went in with modest expectations and left quite impressed. I'll definitely return. I primarily tried the Indian dishes and a small slice of pizza, as the Chinese selection didn’t appeal to me. They also have pasta and Thai curry, so there’s something for everyone."

"I'm not a local and I leave loads of reviews right around the whole of the UK. Anyway had the misfortune of langstane chippy last week!!! Never ever again but..... The Donian was superb....5 star all round. I arrived just after they closed but met the owner at the shop back door....I asked if he was closed and he said no problem I'll make anything for you.....fish supper it was then. Tasted fantastic, perfectly cooked and nice guy too.....a well deserved 5 star review. I've not tried others apart from langstane Donian but Donian is like a 5 star hotel compared to langstane who basically got a one sentence review along with a grudged 1 star. Definitely be back at Donian again. Cheers"

"Lovely pub with amazing staff! Laura, in particular, was really helpful helping us find a table and recommending food for us. We shared a selection of the small plates they were great, and perfect sharer options for friends out for drinks and nibbles. The food was a little slow coming out, and some bits were a little cold, but we put that down to ordering quite a few different dishes, and it didn’t spoil the experience overall. We did witness an uncomfortable incident where a very unhappy customer was complaining in quite an aggressive and intimidating way, but Laura kept her calm and handled it amazingly well. It was hard to watch, so must’ve been awful to be on the receiving end of that kind of complaint management should be proud of their staff!!"

"We ordered our food at 18:30 direct from their website. It was due to be delivered at 19:30. At 19:50 I called chasing my order as it still wasn’t even showing as being enroute. They asked to call me back, which they did 10 mins later. They advised the food would be another 15 mins. I politely pointed out that will have meant it was 45 mins late and will be delivered 1 hour and 45 mins after I ordered it. The gentlemen was quite aggressive in his verbal tone and attitude. He repeatedly spoke over me too. I decided it was best just to call the telephone call to an end. The service was pretty appalling which is a shame because the food itself was good. However I’m personally not willing to order from them again, to be left waiting for an hour and 45 mins for the food, with no proactive warning or apology, and then receive the level of aggression I received."

"Went here on a group curry night and had such a great evening. I had booked online and got a courtesy call 2 days before to check all is good. When we arrived there was friendly staff who greeted us and showed us to our table where our drinks order was taken and was informed of 2 for 1 on cocktails till 19:30 which we took advantage of. The venue looks very authentic and you can see the chefs preparing the food. The food came out in good time despite it being very busy on our visit and came in good portion sizes. The food was so tasty and flavoursome and had the right amount of spice and not overdone on the chilli's. I would recommend booking for a Saturday night as was near capacity, but staff cope effortlessly and food was coming out in good time............I would definitely return here again."
