Reviews in Scotland

we don't want to recommend the Anarkali because we want to keep it to ourselves. Fantastic food, really friendly staff and BYOB - what more can you want? Been to many other Indian restaurants but none come near it for quality and value. Please don't redecorate - we like the 70s decor!

Visited on 17th of Feb 2010, superb meal in a spacious and well presented area. A little pricey, but not over the top and worth every penny.

I tried this cafe for breakfast. 1 regular breakfast, 1 large breakfast and 3 drinks came to £21. The food was locally sourced but I think the sausages were reheated and spoilt the meal along with the price tag, My wife said the hot chocolate was very good.

Great food-all very fresh and tasty. A small friendly restaurant with a good menu (including good amounts of seafood and vegetarian) and offers for lunch and pre-theatre. BYOB also available. Good location for King's theatre and Cameo cinema.

I could no disagree more with the review. When we arrived, the waitress, who we later found out to be the owner, shouted to the young bar man, " customers, the door". He obliged, and we were sat very awkwardly on one of the two cramped leather sofas immediately in front of the bar, where we were served a drink before dinner. After 20 mins, and once the owner had finished gossiping with two other customers, she acknowledged our presence, even though we were sat less than 1 metre away. She took our food order, and the bar boy showed us to our table. Apart from the fact that one of us had to sit on what I consider, uncomfortable pub bonkette seating, the table was fine. My pate starter, which was very flavoursome, was served with toasted pan bread with the crusts partly trimmed, why I dont consider acceptable in an establishment which boasts its menu, and a salad of shredded things which looked like it had fallen out of a bag. The cumberland sauce accompaniment was a sweet pink sauce, made from what im not sure. The other starter of pork belly, was very nice. Nicely cooked and flavoursome. My main of Braised Lamb Shank, hadn't been braised in the sweet red sauce which it sat in, possibly cooked in the oven, however the sauce had not a trace or a taste of any thing like the onions, garlic and other ingredients it should have. The bed of mash was dry, not creamy, and lumpy. The other main of Venison was beautifully cooked. It sat in the same red sauce which had been slightly tweeked and tasted marginally different. We selected a 2007 Australian Merlot which was very nice. We didn't have desert or coffee, however we did mention all of the above to the waitress who was eager to let chef know. We never heard back, and we saw chef leave just before 10 as there were only five tables of two at the evening siting. Apparently Mitchell's is a very kitchen orientated restaurant, and if chef or the owners consider it ok, then its fine. We were disappointed to say the least as we had been looking forward to the evening and I'm not surprised the staff were unhelpful, unhappy and did not smile, and the owner didn't seem to bother either. The wine (£18), two drinks and two courses each cost £74.50. We didn't think it value for money.

The food and service at Airth Castle is fantastic. I'm a strict vegetarian and recently stayed here - nothing was too much trouble for the chef and every dish was just to my taste. For those who eat meat I'm assured by my business colleagues the standard was just as high!

A totally relaxing dining atmosphere, great food, very helpful welcoming staff. I will be back with friends and family.

With a warm friendly welcome and a whole menu to die for, this truly is a great dining experience. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can't wait to go back, so much so that I even offered my services to help staff. Roll on friday, now to decide what to have to eat.

Best chippy in my local area, brilliant fish and chips, home made italian ice cream, huge selection of traditional sweetie jars. Can sit in or take away.. still run by an italian family, like the best chips still ur.

this is a crap carryout prices dear and the meals are full of onions.

I have to say that i would NOT recommend this restaurant. The service is poor, management is unfriendly and very often rude. I continued going despite the above because I enjoyed ONE meal on menu selection. I went today and the menu had changed Nov 2009. That is all well and good, their prerogative BUT it did not reflect that anywhere on the menu. My Child's meal came out with the wrong side on the plate, and he is allergic! Sides we asked to hold off the adult platters were left on the plate, and part of our beverage selection was forgotten and we finally got brought out halfway thru the meal. My Dining Companion asked if the staff member serving us was new, and I had to sadly state, "No". A very nice girl, but not very service oriented. The store itself looks cheap with all the hand made paper signs with magic marker pricing. It negates from the decor that had been redone when it was switched over from the previous owners. Although a little dark, the environment does appear to be welcoming. Today, the meal item ordered had been replaced with something that would make a fast food chain meal look like a 4 star meal. When questioned about whether there had been a change in menu... management rudely came over and no apologies. (including for any other problems that we are used to having such as wrong sides with the meals, no napkins or other simple requests being filled.) They changed from real meat to a pre-formed portion of meat that I am not even sure was meat however, the price was the same as if I had real meat. I could have bought something that would have looked better from a bargain grocery store for a pound instead of being charged over 8gbp! When asked if I wanted my receipt, I said "Yes, I need the information to post a review!" (polite but snarky on my part I admit, but I was hoping that management would realize that you should treat every customer with respect, and a welcoming attitude because that alone can often make up for any dissatisfaction!) The manager asked me what I meant and I informed that I intended to post my experience online. I was then told that I would not be welcome back! Hmmm, an interesting way to help their business prosper! Rather than apologize for an inferior dining experience and discuss what could have happened to make our meal better... just tell the customer to not come back! I am not sure how much longer they will be around! Customer Service and Simple Attention to detail goes a LONG way. Inflexibility, Poor Communication, Rude Attitude and Low Quality Food leave a BAD TASTE in my mouth.

I was introduced to the Anerkali experience by my daughter for whom the Anerkali is her local restaurant. The service, the quality & quantity of the food is tremendous. The restaurant is a compact and homely environment where so many are regulars and like me having tasted the anerkali experience once are instantly smitten and return again and again. (Trulysmitten)

A Quality restaurant, Absolutely delightful. THE most delicious food I have ever tasted. Very reasonable lunch menu. Fresh British fayre, with an unusual twist. Plenty on the plate but presented beautifully, Staff were attentive but also left us alone. Central Edinburgh but not too busy. They also book large parties on request.

So. I went to Snooks last night and its decent. The actual steak was cooked perfectly and was good quality meat. We booked for the Light Bite Menu (half price before 6.30pm). When we walked in we were given the full price menu and I had to ask for the cheaper option. I had homemade lentil soup to start and other half had chilli poppers, soup was tasty and came with a bit of warm French stick style baguette. The chilli poppers were fine, about 5 on the plate and a spicy sauce and salad. For main course we both ordered sirloin with chips (medium). The steak was perfectly cooked, the chips seemed freshly fried and were served to share. We ordered a side of battered onion rings which were nice and crispy. The atmosphere was a bit cold. We were the only people in the place and they had Celine Dion's hits on the CD player. It would be a good place to go on a lads night I think, not really a place for couples or for a special meal. You wouldn't take someone on a date or for an anniversary. We were £33 all in which is a good price, I'd probably go again if I wanted a quick bite in a rush.

Had two chicken curries delivered from the Red Fort Restaurant in Barrhead on 09/01/2010 while i was visiting a friend nearby, I was very disappointed as you could have drained about half a cup of water from each meal when it separated from the sauce, I eat currys from other Indian restaurants regularly and never experienced this so I phoned to complain and was told it was condensation because of the cold weather (aye right) on there menu it states 'Once Tried Never Forgotten' Well you could say they did warn me.

how good is the food

Don't miss this place if you are within the Scottish nation. This is the best Mexican food in this country and the country to the south. The facility is wonderful the help is instantaneous and the food is consistently delightful. The stunner is that it is so very inexpensive. If the menu wasn't printed I would think that this was an introductory offer. Quick, comfortable, delicious and inexpensive-this is Mexican food heaven. The kingdom has a great attraction that will not let you down. World class food in Fife is wonderful news.

WOW! Fantastic food, simply delicious. I really enjoyed the relaxed dining atmosphere and attentive, welcoming and friendly staff. I don't normally comment on websites but this is just too good to keep a secret. Thank you for a great taste experience with lots of attention to details. I loved the carved vegetables.
