"Had Indian curry, Chinese stir fry and Scottish Balmoral chicken on different nights All were very authentic and very enjoyable. The portions were very generous. The table staff were all very pleasant and efficient. The restaurant had been a recommendation from the Lews Castle staff. Both husband and myself really enjoyed our experience. Reading through reviews here from the last 2years all seem very favourable so I’m assuming the rude arrogant man who was behind the bar has left or they keep him well away from the customers nowadays. Dining room is a bit dated though and could do with a more updated look. Given the ravages of 20/21 it did not spoil our enjoyment. Just an aside to our experience. Each night there, it was always busy."

Old school boozer. The landlady and landlord were friendly and welcoming. The beer was nice and cold. We really enjoyed our visit.

This is a gem of a place, serving curries as good as anything in Glasgow or beyond. If you are staying, the breakfast is also terrific with meat sourced from the nearby butcher WJ Macdonald First rate!!!

The county is a proper traditional pub on the corner of Francis Street. It has a decent range of beers including cask conditioned banks bitter on hand pumps. There is a nice secluded outdoor seating area. There is a large room with the bar and a pool table. A great friendly traditional local community pub.

AWFUL! Avoid if you are looking for a good indian meal. All ate from Indian menu. Used to be the best curry in town but now no flavour, no spice and no heat in the curries. Tasted distinctly of Heinz tomato soup!! Naan breads were basic and not very tasty. Will not recommend or eat here again. Embarrassed to have taken friends here to eat. Service was good, staff friendly and polite.

Looking for Indian food whilst working in the area, there seems to be only 2 places available, the other restaurant had nobody in so I came here as it had a good number of people eating, very glad I did, the Indian food was fantastic with lots of fresh ingredients. The girls on service where friendly and efficient. The only small downside was it was freezing cold in the restaurant but a few mouthfuls of my madras soon rectified that!!

I have eaten curries here many times and it's always very good. But this most recent was the best so far and has prompted me to leave a review! I had Lamb Rogan Josh and my friend had the vegan Amritsi Chole. Both were superb. Rogan Josh is generally a very mild dish but this had a complex and very satisfying spicing and heat that left me thinking about it for days after. I was told the Chole were similarly delicious. The Nan's were fresh and hot. Service prompt, friendly and unobtrusive. Overall excellent value. All in all, if you want a really good curry on Lewis, look no further.

Excellent food best Indian I have had for years. I had the the Lamb Madras which was excellent. I had read the previous reviews about the Indian meals and was a bit sceptical as a curry anywhere apart from a proper Indiqn restaurant is normally tasteless. This was up there with the best Indian food I have had. Would say more meat than normal, spice was perfect and the sauce was delicious. In fact so good that I ordered additional chapattis just to use up the last of the sauce half way through the meal. Not the wisest move as the very filling curry caught up with me. After a disappointing meal in a local Indian my partner went for the venison casserole which was also excellent and again excel...
