    Well I must text that so far this has been the best place for a truly THICK mango lassi & my plate 🍽️ was nice & hot πŸ”₯ but my friend Janie's plate was cold - hence a point πŸ‘‰ off. BUT our main courses came PIPING HOT πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅ SIZZLING AWAY - brilliant - will definately pop back in again. Back in again on on Tue. 13/2/24 for lunch at 12.30pm & i got my meal on a hot πŸ”₯ plate & once again it came sizzling hot πŸ”₯My spicy chicken dosa was quite filling & i've never had it before & it tasted great πŸ‘ it consisted of SHREADED tender chickenπŸ₯ My main course was chicken masander & tender chicken once again & as u can see piping πŸ”₯ & there was no steam rising from the not so hot meal that my friend & i had in Sanam Falkirk, that has won a few food awards. My desert was a slice of melt in your mouth gateau + a dollop of ice cream. So there u have it - tasty hot food & a lovely tall glass of thick mango lassi. Back in again all the way from Grangemouth on 23/2/24 for lunch along with my 10% off lunch only discount card & enjoyed a lovely THICK lassie (which i tend to call a lassie by mistake) & with the arrival of a hot πŸ”₯ plate 🍽️ i proceeded to pile on my SIZZLING chicken πŸ₯ masander & the spices in it tasted just great πŸ‘ The restaurant was soon filling up, with some 5 folks being directed to a table & many others arriving - that's good to see. I phoned up for a table for two at 12.45 which was a good idea. So once again, give the India Cottage a try & judge for yourselves πŸ‘ 😁

    A great restaurant! The best thing about it has to be the abundance of the portions - 4 of the curries could easily fill 7 hungry stomachs! There's a large variety of dishes, each of which are tastier than the next. Starters and the complementary poppadoms were delicious, but a bit lacking in quantity (specifically the Paneer Tikka). Our waiter was very nice, and was happy to accommodate us with anything we were craving but wasn't on the menu! Very nice ambience, and comfortable seating. Another great thing about this Indian restaurant is that it's authentic, and so desi that it reminded me of home back in Bharat (India). It's rare to find these types of restaurants in Scotland! Would highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Indian taste!

    To be fair it was a quiet Sunday night and the restaurant was empty. The atmosphere was a bit odd with mexican / Spanish music playing in the background. The food was fine. Nothing special and I'm genuinely surprised to learn it's the highest trip advisor rated Indian in Stirling. My Chicken Tikka Dansak was actually Chicken Tandoori Gravy with lentils and little spice or flavour. The onion rice was fine. Overall...it's ok but I'll try another Indian when I'm next in town. Surely there's better?

    They say the customer is God. This phrase is applied to this restaurant. Moving to Scotland and missing our home food is what every Indian person will relate to. Indian cottage restaurant has already given me hope about not missing Indian cuisine. Their food is super delicious and gives an apt essence and taste to India. I would recommend trying once, as once you try you will go continuously. Their hospitality and politeness are way beyond expectations. I really loved the way they treat their customers.

    To me, their foods are super affordable. A 3 course lunch for only Β£9 ish and kids menu for only Β£4.5. They're hot and fresh, but it just didn't fit my palate. I hope they can level up the flavour of their dish to meet wider standard of flavor accepted by general people. Also, this is a busy place on weekend so I suggest pre booking.

    First time we had lunched here. Staff were lovely and friendly. I felt the booth were too tight when seated down. Not much legs room. Too stuffy in the restaurant doesn't smells fresh. I had vegetables pakora, lamb korma and yellow boiled rice. Loved the vegetables pakora and the rice. Not sure about the lamb korma, are they supposed to be sweet? I felt a bit sicky after. My friend had mushrooms pakora and chapatti and bhuna lamb. She loved it. Don't think I want to come back in the future.

    Today, I went to Indian Cottage with one of my friend for dinner and we enjoyed Halal food there. I must say the taste of Halal food was too good there. Ambience was superb. Staff behaviour was astonishing and friendly we feel staff is interacting with customers which is positive. I strongly recommend everyone to visit Indian Cottage in Stirling . Cheers!!!!!

    Have tried a lot of Indian restaurants in and around Stirling, Indian cottage by far has takes the crown for serving dishes with authentic Indian taste. Highly recommend the breads and non-vegetarian starters like the kebabs and tandoori chicken with mint chutney. It has a great ambience and courteous staff. Love the beige interiors!

The food was of the highest standard as well as the portions very generous. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, kind, helpful and the service was first class. Definitely recommended.

  • 5/5 Matthew B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience overall - curries, rice and naan bread were all of very good quality, I would especially recommend the Kajoo masala, a medium spicy very well developed sauce. The restaurant is also very well priced and the service is excellent!

    Have tried multiple different Indian restaurants in Stirling and this is by far the best. I’ve taken family and friends here for their first time and they’ve all been impressed and wanted to go again. Haha, Only downside is that it’s so good that I’ve stopped trying new places as often when I go out because I want to go here. Friendly place with great food, 100% best Indian in central Stirling. Just need to get better music
