"Spent £28 for a carry out meal for 2 on Saturday the 27th June 2020. The prawn crackers were excellent...in fact the best we've tasted in a long time. Started off with salted shredded chicken as a starter, which was okay, not the best we've tasted. Next up was the two main meals of Beef with peppers and Black Bean Sauce and Chicken with Cashew nuts. OMG. probably the worse, tasteless Chinese meals we've ever experienced. Total tasteless. Small pieces of beef in a watery gravy with a tiny residue of what was supposed to be black bean sauce. No connection between the beef and the watery gravy...think wee bits of beef and someone pouring Bisto over it and calling it Black Bean sauce. Honestly, it was that bad. The Chicken and cashew nut dish, was even worse. Half raw carrots in a watery, tasteless gravy with onions and cashew nuts swimming about. ERven in a blind tasting, you would be hard pressed to connect both dishes to Chinese cuisine. So, despite adding garlic, lots of soy sauce, satay sauce, fish sauce, still couyldn't raisze the two main dishes to an acceptble level. We stay 10 miles from the Lucky Star. So, you can imagine our dissapointment on how very unluc kyb we felt.. Can't undcerstand where the 4.5 overall star rating came from regarding this carry out outlet. Oh and by the way. We don't normally leave negative reviews on anything, but this was close to contravening the law on claiming thios was a Chinese dish. Sorry, but awful. First and last visit. Will stick to Elgin. in the future."

Read reviews and was a bit dubious about going here. However we've been multiple times now and food is always great! Prices are a bit higher than others but the quality is worth the slightly increased price.

We ordered chicken curry, egg fried rice, curried triangles, chilli chips and onion rings. Our favourite curry lots of chicken. Everything was perfect and very hot. We have had from here several times always lovely.

For a family treat we decided to get a Take Away and were impressed not only by the choices available the quality of the food. The quantities were plenty and only had to wait a short time for the food to be prepared. View menu

1/5 I orderd the food 7 and it took 2 and a half hours to get here. I made a Christmas dinner for 30 people in less time. If you want to have a Chinese meal cook it your self at home it will take you about 20 mins at the most. Would not recommend to anyone 1

Been coming here over the years but more frequently this year as just find Alan to be polite, service to be quick and dishes to be really tasty. Chilli salt chicken is fast becoming my favourite dish with any of the starters or soups we have ordered also really tasty. You pay a bit more bit for me it’s better than other Chinese’s near by.

"Genuinely couldn't fault the experience. When I heard that the Drouthy had a new menu focusing more on a veggie and vegan base, I knew I had to give it a whirl. The starter of hot Smoked salmon with lemon creme fraiche and oatcakes was simple yet packed full of flavour. I could have easily have had 10 plates of that and been happy to give it 5 stars. My partner had the smoked duck and even though I have given up meat, I was salivating at the look of their dish. They assure me that it was as delicious as it looked. Served with lavender roasted potatoes (which I'm told were amazing and charred salsify. The mains were more than a match for the brilliant starters. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be get the beetroot risotto. Not being a massive fan of beetroot, I wasn't too sure about it. But the incredibly warm waiter (for my son's, I never got his name. I only hope he can forgive me if he reads this! assured me it was tasty. He was not wrong. Beautifully cooked vegan risotto with balsamic beetroot chunks, shiitake mushrooms and rocket, it was simply divine. WHEN I go back, I'll be hard pressed to go for anything else because it was so delicious. It was creamy, packed full of flavour and cooked absolutely perfectly. Just the right amount of bite, nowhere near being mush like you get in a lot of other places (who charge a lot more, by the way . Superb. The highest of compliments to the chef. I was so taken by my dish I forgot to ask how my partner's was until I had eaten all of mine. But their home made vegan tagliatelle had disappeared from the plate so it must have been amazing. I couldn't handle dessert so had a delicious ruby port (delaforce I think it was called , and I would also like to give credit to whoever came up with their wine list. It covered every single base and no-one could ever be disappointed. Finally, if you're ever in Elgin, please make sure this is one of your destinations. You will leave extremely happy."
