"Visited here with my partner in October First impressions were good ones, I’m a big fan of Mexican food and the menus looked as if they had a lot of choice and resonably priced, the restaurant was full with a decent atmosphere, usually a...good sign. Alarm bells started ringing when we ordered our main, calamari and an assortment of chips and dips. The calamari consisted of large, battered rings, clearly frozen (my guess is Iceland) and a mayonnaise. The chips and dips was a whole bag of cheap super market tortillas slopped on a dinner plate accompanied by shop bought hummus, sour cream and gauc. It’s a dark day when you enter a Mexican restaurant and they don’t even make their on guacamole….. even I make my own guacamole! However, we were hungry and ploughed through….. I’d like to point out at this point, I’m months pregnant and when it’s dinner time, I’ll eat anything. For mains we ordered the ginger and chilli tuna steaks which were served ‘turf and surf’ style. This means on its on griddle with a whole jar of what can only be described as uncle bens sauced shoved on top with peppers and onions. The tuna steak was extremely chewy and had a pungent smell. We couldn’t eat it. Praise the lord the the side of McCain’s oven cooked wedges which came with the dish (another whole dinner plates worth), for it was the safest thing to eat. Naturally after deciding enough was enough we asked to speak with the manager who was reluctant to help in anyway, very defensive over his frozen tuna and all in all, a bit dismissive. He did ask if he could get us anything else to eat, I’d rather raid the frozen aisle at my local Tesco thanks, and did offer us a drink on the house, to which we politely refused and asked for the bill. When we received this, the waitress announces proudly ‘here’s the bill, and we’ve given you a discount’ I pick up the paper with baited breath, what is it? Free drinks? Complimentary appetisers?? Nope! They’ve taken a whopping off our bill, which equates to approximately Bravo mariachi grill, bravo, i doth my cap to you in what I can only describe as the worst meal I’ve eaten out in a very long time."

"I moved to Inverness over 20 years ago, and in that time, the city center has transformed in countless ways. Businesses have come and gone, trends have risen and faded, but one thing has remained steadfast: Sam’s Indian Restaurant. Through all the changes, Sam’s has been a constant—a warm, welcoming beacon of incredible Indian cuisine. My family and I have dined with Sam many times over the years, and one thing that has always stood out is his consistency. Even as the world—and the hospitality industry—changed after COVID, Sam’s dedication to great food and exceptional service never wavered. In a time when people are more mindful of how they spend their time and money, Sam’s continues to deliver a unique and personal dining experience that’s increasingly rare in Inverness. What sets Sam’s apart isn’t just the food (which is always fantastic), but the thoughtful touches that make every visit memorable. Sam himself takes the time to speak with guests, ensuring every order is just right. On one morning visit, I even caught him arranging fresh flowers—a small detail that perfectly captures the care and pride he puts into his restaurant. Many restaurants in Inverness have lost their spark, but Sam’s remains a shining example of what great hospitality looks like. Every visit feels special, whether you’re dining in or calling for takeout. If you’re visiting Inverness and considering the city’s more well-known spots like Rockpool, Café 1, or Mustard Seed, I urge you to make room in your itinerary for Sam’s Indian Restaurant. It’s not about flashy décor or high ceilings; it’s about the taste of his food and the heart behind every dish. And yes, the place is spotless, which is just as important. Thank you, Sam, for your unwavering hospitality. I can’t wait for my next meal!"

"I went to dinner with a friend to celebrate my new job. Unfortunately from start to end it was not a good experience. A waiter took our drinks order and part of our food order, my diet coke was flat and I asked him to change it which he did. I received a can instead which was warm and poured it into the glass of minimal ice and a thin slice of lemon, immediately the warm coke melted the ice and so the coke had no taste. I asked him what fish was in the Tandoori curry and he did not know, he stood there for a while then decided to go and ask, it was Tilapia. Then another waiter came over and asked to take our order, we told him that we had already given it to the other waiter, nevertheless we proceeded to repeat ourselves and he noted it on his I Pad. At this point we were confused and left wondering why the first waiter had not returned, it may be that he was new and confused himself, very strange. My friend ordered the prawn biriyani and okra curry, she said the biriyani was nice, but her okra skin was tough and inedible, she had to squeeze out the contents of it. My tilapia curry was very disappointing, there were very few pieces of fish in there and it was hot but very bland, my cauliflower curry had more taste than it. It was clear to me that their ingredients were far inferior than others I have visited, there was no authentic taste at all. Another negative was that one of the waiters welcomed 2 customers, and it seemed that one was celebrating a birthday, he may have known them from before because he spent plenty of time chatting to them but ignoring other customers, this is very unprofessional. I work in the hospitality industry and I would never spend a vast amount of my time speaking to just one table of customers. My advice to them would be to seek someone to train the staff professionally on their conduct and service, as it is all about the customer experience if they want them to return and write positive reviews. Also seek suppliers who can offer more quality products, prices to customers may have to increase but it will improve their reputation."
