"Under new management. Beware of the star rating of this one it used to be good, now it isn 't. I reviewed this restaurant back in 2017. The food was nice, well made, and even though it appeared to have been 'adapted ' to the Italian palette, it was very enjoyable. We haven 't been for a couple of years, but a recent trip to Milan found me looking at the menu of Rangoli. It offers many more types of dish than before, and so we booked and gave it a go. What a disappointment! From beginning to end. There are no longer poppadums, instead, there is a dry, flatbread (like .5mm flat) which I have never experienced before in any Indian restaurant. This is served with a rather acidic mint sauce, and a sour sauce. Moving on to a starter, I ordered the Chicken Pakora one of my favourites from my past experience. Awful. It was dry the chicken, in particular, was dried out, hard to chew, and did not appear to be very good meat. Brown and mashed. I couldn 't finish it. It didn 't taste fresh. Onto the main course, A chicken madras. The sauce was very nice. The problem was there was next to no chicken in it. 4 small pieces around half a breast. What a disappointment Rangoli. And the price you charge for a portion of rice is ridiculous. This isn 't cheap, but neither is it good. A bad experience which I don 't care to repeat."

"Sai has quickly become my new favorite Indian restaurant! We've tried numerous Indian places across the United Kingdom, but none have met our expectations quite like Sai. From the very first bite, the food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! It also boasted incredibly authentic Indian aromas, even surpassing our favorite Indian restaurants back home in Canada. The service was excellent, and the decor and cleanliness were impressive. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I believe they've recently renovated their outdoor terrace. I highly recommend visiting Sai for a wonderful meal and an enjoyable experience!"

"This restaurant serves some of the best curries I have ever had. The waiter provided excellent service and was very accommodating to my friend in a wheelchair. We tried the Windshield Pakora, Chicken Malai, and Tiger Prawn Peri Peri starters, which were all fantastic, especially the huh. For our main dishes, we ordered the Lamb Bay Leaf Khasi and King Prawn Jalfrezi, both of which were also delicious. I made a mistake by forgetting about the new Covid rules and our table was only reserved for two hours, so I apologize to the people we unintentionally made leave the pub to take our table. I owe you a cobra!"

"on visiting this restaurant on Thurs Jan we arrived early (the first customers)but were shown to a table and asked if we wanted drinks , although it was early the restaurant was cold and the dÃcor was quite dull and spartan, the staff were very friendly and helpful and although there was no sharing platter on the menu one was made up for us. Now to get to the important part, this restaurant is all about the food and having travelled extensively both all over Britain and the continent this was possibly the best Indian food we have ever eaten if it was possible I would give the food stars The location is also superb being immediately opposite the Festival theatre ideal for pre theatre dinner. Our party consisted of three adults and the total cost including drinks was only which considering its location in the middle of Edinburgh was excellent. I would be happy to visit again, but if they could sort out the ambience issues and toilet I would happily have given it stars."

"the first time that I ordered from here a month ago, the food quality was good, but they forget to take drinks. they gave them back and let go. the second time I recently ordered from here, they have not only forgotten one of the articles, but the quality has completely declined. the curry wasn't as good as the first time. I will not order again unless I learn that the previous cook has returned and they commit themselves to thoroughly review their orders before they send out. the ground material."

"I organized a group trip to visit kesar with the alexandra players from charlton and we had the fabulous evening. the personal was all brilliant and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered a chicken tikka masala kokosnussreis and I would say it was definitiw one of the best I ever had. my only disappointment was that I didn't have space for dessert. I will soon have to try again! recommend to everyone to consider it."

"We were a group of five at Amber. We ordered 4 chicken dishes and 1 vegetarian dish. After the food arrived, my girlfriend and I (who had ordered the same dish) noticed that we were served fish instead of chicken. When I brought this to the waiter's attention, he adamantly denied it and said that the chicken had been grilled beforehand, which may have altered the taste. When I asked him to try the chicken meat (which was translucent and did not have the texture of meat), he said he didn't need to because it was chicken. Besides the fact that it smelled strongly of fish, I found this to be unprofessional.. very disappointing. The others at my table who also ordered chicken dishes did not experience this issue, and the comparison of their dishes confirmed it. I can recommend the naan bread and the ambiance, but I will not be returning to the restaurant as I expected at least some sort of acknowledgement, especially since I returned the dish almost untouched."

"I finally found an authentic Indian dining experience in Britain outside of London! The food reminded me of all the delicious meals I enjoyed in India, featuring favorites that are hard to find in Britain. The pani puri was beautifully made, the pav was fantastic, and the dhal makhani was dark, creamy, and spicy. The lamb flakes were perfectly spiced and tender. The welcome was warm and the service was friendly. Don't miss out on this gem. I hope this restaurant continues to prosper. Embark on an Indian food adventure and enjoy!"

"POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! We arrive and waited 10 minutes to been seen to. We had pre booked our table. We were then seated upstairs and can say we were forgotten about. It took then a further 20 mins from being seated to have our initial drinks order taken. We ordered all our food with our first drinks as we knew they were busy/short staffed. We then waited an hour for our starters to come. 2 hours for my wrong main course to come. At this point I refused to eat or wait anymore. The rest of the party ate and when I refused to pay full price they got augmentative and quite intimidating. We settled on a price that was still too much for what I actually ate. Also a couple of the staff had food stained shirts and poorly dressed."

"I have chosen this place for a delivery because the vegan options on the menu were clearly marked. there was a lot of decisions, which is a nice change. I had a chana armi that was beautiful (not too oily as some places). my main was a tadka valley, which was spicy and soou tasty (not only licky, but a beautiful orange color full of taste). the cherry on the top was a vegan garlic naan omg the things of the dreams! will definitely be again next time I am very impressed in this opposite."

"Took a trip here on Friday night after being in the Quays for the day, we fancied something authentic and chose here purely on the basis of reviews, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The restaurant probably seats about 20 and when we turned up there was a full table of 8 and a table of 2, the atmosphere was great and from arriving to leaving, and through the turnover of tables during the night, the vibe never went flat one bit. The food was really, really nice, we stayed on the Indian side of the menu and were not disappointed with the shami and chicken malai starters, then the plentiful main courses of chicken karahi and jalfrezi with real juicy garlic naans were so nice, we stuffed the lot! Big shout out to Lax who looked after us and everyone else on the night, he was attentive to each table and kept the flow going really well. Next time we’re that way for a night out, we’ll most definitely return, in the meantime I hope the recommendation helps"

"Amazing service ALWAYS. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Sid is a brilliant host and his staff are so friendly, efficient and just altogether nice people who make you feel most welcome. The food is so tasty, we have tried almost every dish on the menu and can only say positive things about each one. The food is very reasonable priced too. The restaurant and toilets are very clean and there is parking directly outside the front door. I read some of the negative reviews of this place before writing this and am actually considering whether they are talking about a completely different place!?? One review said the staff are unfriendly I have been visiting this place for 2 years and all we (and our family and friends) ever get welcomed with are smiles from the staff. One review said there wasn't enough parking there are many parking spaces directly in front of the premises and if you're ever unfortunate enough not to get one (which is very unlikely), there is a huge layby for parking directly next to the restaurant. Someone said the place is expensive it's actually very reasonably priced again, are they reviewing the right place?? Definitely visit if you're in the area, you will not be disappointed!"

"The prices used to be quite reasonable but they 've jumped on the bandwagon of increasing prices to an extent where it 's not actually worth paying for. It 's just mediocre portions of veg/spices/paneer yet you 're being charged as if you 're buying generously portioned meat dishes. Desserts are well overpriced too for small portions. Unfortunately we won 't be back until the prices are reduced appropriately and better portions are given. Update: Disappointed the prices have increased even further e.g £8 for a large tub of spiced veg to takeaway? In a working class part of Glasgow? Come on now! Just greed, with little regard for customers. P.s. there 's a certain member of staff, who could do with working on his manners/customer service skills and learning how to smile at the people putting money in their pocket. Rarely says hello, goodbye, please or thanks and seems like he 'd rather be anywhere else but there. Possibly a superiority complex. Either way, staff should be making an effort to make their customers feel welcome, comfortable and appreciated. Kindly sort it out please."

"I went to this Delhi Wala restaurant yesterday with my family Monday 9th Nov 2015. The service was absolutely appalling, followed by the food. We ordered 3 paneer dosas, when they came out it had grated raw paneer,, with no masala flavour, I thought it was supposed to be an indian dish, obviously not!!! they argued with us. Then they said we will order you the masala dosa, when that came out, it was plain with nothing in it. They said the chef got it wrong. Hoping that third time lucky, the dosas tasting half decent, the mixture was raw inside, rushed job maybe. I took a few bites and left the rest. Cant believe it had taken 1 and a half hours to prepare a simple dish. When we came...read more"

"The website claimed to cater for Vegan diets "if you are a vegan we can cook a bespoke meal following strict vegan principles with no dairy products or, if you would like something cooked in a specific way our chefs will be happy to cater to your requirements "When asked for our order i asked the waiter what vegan the meals the chef could prepare. The waiter didn 't understand and i explained that it was a step on from vegetarian and was food prepared without any animal products, eggs, diary etc,. Initially i was told that this would be impossible as most of their food is pre prepared and cant be altered. I asked if he could ask the chef. Instead of asking the chef the waiter suggested i tried the Panner Pakora or King prawn Tikka for starters followed by Lamb Achari for mains!!!! As i was with a group i didn 't want to upset eveyone and the waiter was clearly not understanding or willing to ask the chef, i eventually asked if they could cook a vegetable biryani without gee and in vegetable oil. I have no confidence this was cooked as requested. That aside, the starters arrived within 3 mins of ordering and were clearly precooked and warmed making them dry and unpalatable. Within minutes of the starters been cleared the main courses were on the table, no time to digest the first course! Most of the party thought the main course was acceptable, but nothing to shout about and considering the service and rush through would not be back again. Probably the worst restaurant experience I 've had and with so many good places locally in Pudsey and Farsely, i wont be going back!!"

"We have been dining at this restaurant since I was 15 years old, and now at 60 years old, we were regular customers and well-known by the staff. Over time, the quality of the food began to decline, so we took a break and tried other takeout options. However, on Saturday 30/9/2023, we decided to give it another chance, but unfortunately, the food was terrible. The bhuna was flavorless, and the chicken tikka tandoori masala was also lacking in taste and overall quality. Both curries tasted the same, despite one being ordered with a hotter sauce. Additionally, the spiced onions that we paid for were missing. Needless to say, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. It is very disappointing, especially considering it used to be the best Indian restaurant in the south side. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case."
