I'm in town for a few days and looking for something other than fish and chips so I wandered off the main street by 1 block and found a hidden gem. I ordered prawn Bhuna, Sag Aloo, garlic Naan and a Cobra beer to wash it all down. The spice level was mild to moderate, they would have kicked it up a notch if I wanted but after an entire day flying to get here I thought that wasn't the best of ideas. But the spices were amazing! There were plenty of prawns, I definitely was not wanting more. The spinach and potatoes in the Sag were just about perfect! The only thing I would change is crispy Naan bread. It was not bad, but I do like my Naan crispy. Im only here for a few more days, but there is a Massala I would like to try!

The island star is a chinese take-away just opposite the bus station in Stornoway…read more There's a large menu comparable with most chinese take-aways everywhere. The main area is quite large and though a bit shabby looking is clean. There's a bench seat stretching along two walls so plenty space to sit and wait for your order which is usually available in 10 to 15 minutes. Prices are amongst the cheaper of the Chinese restaurants in stornoway and the food is good, highly recommend the chicken satay. They do student deals at lunch time so it can get quite busy between 1 and 2 when the local secondary gets its lunch. The staff are always friendly and helpful. You can also phone in a take-away order if you prefer so no need to wait inside, just pick it up and pay after the time they give you.

Decided to make a reservation the night before since I knew this was a popular spot. Otherwise, we…read morewould have eaten at the more casual cafe but I was glad we chose the main restaurant. We were staying in the hotel and it was very convenient. The front desk checked if we needed a reservation when we arrived. This was my favorite meal of the trip. I decided to get the scallop black pudding appetizer with the langoustine main. The scallop app was phenomenal, and the garlic butter langoustine were excellent. The langoustine meat was delicate - tails were sliced open and I took awhile to crack open the claws to get most of the meat out. The elderflower cocktail was refreshing. I had been debating about having langoustine and scallop dishes for app or main. The waitress said the langoustine app has 3, main has 6. Scallop app and main both have 3 scallops, but main has fish also. Great service overall. The restaurant was full and the larger parties really take their time here. The light is dim and everything was served elegantly. My vegetarian friend really enjoyed her bruschetta nibble and eggplant pasta. I would have ordered the cherry bakewell tart, but they were doing a different dessert.

Had a lovely dinner here tonight!…read more They have a 2 course or 3 course market menu, or you can mix and match across the full menu (special and market). I went with the 2 course - mussels to start and the white fish of the day (haddock). Unfortunately, they didn't have oysters or I would have gotten those too! The 2 course was more than enough food for 1 person, so I'm pleasantly full even though I didn't finish my plates. Service was attentive. Just make sure to book a resy as early as you can!

Good food in a place where it's not common with a spectacular view…read more I went back and forth between four and five stars here and I'm going to give it five stars in the end because they managed an upscale food experience without being overly pretentious (although the price tag remains) and had a good kid's menu. The actual food went back and forth between four stars and five stars (especially at this price point), as did the service. The drinks list was short, but well-thought-out including local whisky. We came here for a nice dinner out with our family of 4 (including two kids 8 and 11). The inside was finished with an interesting industrial chic with riveted, metal-topped tables with wrought iron supports and huge floor-to-ceiling windows looking out at Uig Bay with Uig Sands visible depending on the tide. A bit less than half the tables are actually against the window, so try to get one, but the view is good no matter what. The food is very good, but not quite top-tier tasting menu level. We got the seafood chowder, smoked salmon with cashews and toppings, pistachio crusted cod, and the scallops. The seafood chowder and scallops were both good, but didn't stand out in any spectacular way. The chowder was a bit overly salty. It also had mussels in it, which was a bit different. The scallops were well-cooked with crispy potatoes and a bit of kale, but mostly just well-done scallops. The cod coated in a crispy herb crust with pistachios and a pea risotto was truly different. The risotto tasted almost as though it had mint in it and the peas were just a tiny bit crisp and crunchy giving it texture to complement the flaky, but still moist fish. Probably the highlight of the meal. The smoked salmon with cashews and pickled vegetables and avocado cream was reminiscent of a tuna carpaccio, but with smoked salmon instead. Very different and locally inspired. Second best thing of the meal. The kid's menu was a really nice touch. The kids got a plain burger and penne pasta, which were both good. I really appreciated not having to find them something else to eat off the main menu. Dessert was similar to the rest of the meal. The pistachio cake with raspberry cream was excellent, dense and moist with different flavors. The coconut ice cream with rice "donuts" were different, but too sweet for me. The donuts were basically rice pudding deep fried and dusted with sugar, but the roasted pineapple and super-sweet syrup pushed it too sweet. The kid's got salted caramel and dark chocolate parfait (really ice cream) with a brownie. It was also excellent, but they didn't love the salted caramel. Drinks-wise they had a decent selection of local whisky as well as wines (mostly by the bottle). We enjoyed an Argentinian Malbec which was light enough to pair with the seafood.

The a-la-carte menu includes regular items and daily specials. At an affordable price. Order and pay at the bar. Get a wooden spoon with yr table number on it. Make a reservation (especially if you want a window seat) or just walk in. No hubbub; just a casual atmosphere. The food? I would call it Modern Scottish: fresh Scottish produce (especially seafood -- this is a harbor city with a fishermen's cooperative) fused with 'foreign' flourishes. Yesterday I had scollops from North Uist, and tonight I had monkfish kebab with couscous. Two nights in a row? Yes. I am traveling solo, it is close to where I am staying, it's part of an important cultural center, and the food is good. So why not? PS The Yelp map wrongly pins this place at the intersection of Kenneth street and Church street, whereas it is at the intersection of Kenneth Street and South Beach road.
