The restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived for an early dinner. They have an extensive menu of both Thai and Indian cuisine. We first ordered Chicken Satay and Vegetable Egg Rolls as starters. I ordered the Panama Curry with Chicken and a Chicken Coconut Soup. My wife ordered the Seafood Platter with Spicy Noodles. Both meals and starters were outstanding. The service was very friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered what seemed a large quantity of food for a reasonable price. We would not hesitate to come back here again for a meal. #invernessthaifood #invernessindianfood

Or you can even watch the chefs through the large window in the waiting area in to the kitchen! Very interesting indeed! If you are looking for something quick and tasty, The Thai Cottages would definitely be a place to try.

The waiter told us that 1 curry will not be enough as the portion size is small. We said, we will first get the curry and decide if we want to eat more. He then went and complained to the owner. The owner came in and told us that we must order 2 main dishes otherwise he wouldn't take the order. We also ordered plain papad. There was an option for chutneys for 3.20 but we didn't want it. He asked if we don't want chutneys. The portion sizes are so small for the money. They serve frozen food. Be warned. Absolute waste of money and the rude owner does not make it any better. We had only regrets eating here.

Our choice of wine, Sancerre, was excellent. I ordered the scallop appetizer that was good, not great. The scallops were sweet, the sauce also good, but it was a bit overpowering for the scallops. Our mains included the seabass cooked in a tandoori style. The fish was good and flavorful, but the preparation dried the fish and in my opinion, did not enhance the flavor. The fish was accompanied by a combination of truly delicious vegetables-cauliflower, potatoes, broccolini. My wife chose the cod in a light creamy sauce, with gnocchi, pearl onions, peas and small clams. I think her dish was the superior selection. The food quality was first rate. I think the preparation of my dishes missed the mark a bit. It was late and we were tired, so we did not order either dessert or coffee or tea. It is a nice place with a great staff and ambiance. The quality of the food is absolutely superior, the preparation was not to the level of the food.

They kept running out of food and she would update the chalkboard once someone would ask for it and she realized it wasn't available anymore. There seemed to be a lot of confusion between the waitress and the chef and it took really long for the food to come (over 30 minutes for soups and a sandwich). The waitress also didn't know how to multitask so multiple people were sitting around forever waiting to even place their order. In terms of the food, my sandwich was fine and the soup was good but needed a ton of salt and pepper. I wouldn't get the sandwich again. Only come here if you have a lot of time to kill.

I joined my family after parking the car who all warned me that the server was not even remotely friendly. They weren't kidding. She was awful, just plain rude and should not be in hospitality. She was aggressive, moody, unpredictable. It was like an old ex who played mind games just to be mean. She honestly was that bad. How is she working at this place? Upon sitting down, she told me we had only 2 hours at the table so I better order immediately. I asked if they had wifi, and she said yes. Then immediately walked away from me. Umm... Really??? The table next to us tried to flag down the same server and she yelled at them. At least, we weren't them! We actually bonded over the trauma of this woman since we weren't the only ones. I quickly ordered the halibut for my main course. I have to say, it was the worst meal I've had in a very long time. It was not only dry but completely lacked flavor. My kids also disliked their food. My daughter's mashed potatoes tasted like it was from the box. She didn't even touch them (and typically cleans her plate). And my son didn't eat half of his pizza. I tried it. And have to agree, it was really bad. No flavor. Finally my partner ordered the steak medium rare. It came out charred, burned and fatty. The meal was honestly awful. The service was even worse. I booked this meal months ago. We all laughed since it felt like one of those meals you're abused and you're all in on the gag. Except that wasn't the case here. Just rude service and terrible food. My kids ordered the brownie sundae for dessert. Surely, that couldn't be bad? Wrong. The brownies were dry and stale. But the kids at least enjoyed the ice cream. Overall, this was probably the worst dining experience I've had probably in years. It was definitely the worst meal and service in Scotland. I was shocked at just how bad the food was. How rude the service was and how expensive it was. The one upside is the restaurant space is beautiful. I rarely, almost never, give 1 star reviews. As an elite all star, I pride myself on trying to see the positive especially for small businesses. And focus on the positive. But I'm not going to promote a place that is truly not good, rips off the consumer and is rude. If it's not clear by this point. My recommendation? Run from this place!

We were able to get in at Aspendos and proceeded to have the best lamb, chicken, and hummus we'd ever had anywhere. To qualify the above statement - we are all very seasoned travelers and have been all over Europe, America, some places in the Middle East, Africa, Japan, China, Russia, Indonesia, Central and South America, Canada, and UK. We've had good food. Mustafa is the owner and greeted our table, told us about the menu, and answered any questions we had. He also made perfect recommendations for our meal choices and based on the stars of this review - you can see he was spot on. The place is well appointed, very clean, aesthetically attractive, and clutter-free. All of their food is incredibly flavorful, juicy, beautifully presented, and plentiful.

Black Isle Bar is located on Church Street, in the main couple of blocks stretch of bars and restaurants in the heart of Inverness. After a day out exploring Speyside whiskies, it was exactly what we needed for dinner. You order at the counter and find a table where they will deliver your food. The pizza menu has a handful of good vegetarian options, and there are plenty of beers on tap. My wife and I shared the Broccoli and Stilton pizza...It had a good, light, and chewy crust and overall good flavor, though I didn't taste much of the honey listed as one of the ingredients. We also shared a salad, which was quite fresh.
